1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Native Land Pod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: with Reason Choice Media. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Here's 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: what we're talking about today. We are talking about Chuck Schumer. 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: For those of you who may be unclear, Chuck Schumer 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: is the Senate Minority leader because he is responsible for 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: what the Democratic Party's agenda might be in the Senate. 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: As you all know, many of us, I'm saying us, 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: Lolo included, many of us are very frustrated by the 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: fact that he didn't understand understand the assignment last week. 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: House Democrats are on or all the House are on 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: recess this week, and we're trying to understand why anybody's 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: given him a pass because we've not given him a pass. 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: We are trying to understand, Chuck Schumer, why would you 14 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: vote with a Republican party that refuses to hold Donald 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: Trump and Elon Musk. Really President must accountable for his actions. 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: You're giving them a rubber stamp. Let the Republicans do that. 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: So those of you are at home and like I 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: don't really care about none of this. If you are 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: at home saying that, you probably don't watch the podcast 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: quite yet. But welcome if you do, welcome home, as 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: we say every week on Native Lampi. But what I 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: will also say to you is we need to talk 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: about accountability structure. That's lolo suggestion. We need to talk 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: about why we should care. And we are going to 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: get a little bit further into Chuck Schuber. Lola, I'm 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: hanging up on you, y'all. Tune in over here, y'all. 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: She's still yelling, hanging up. I'm hanging up. Okay, so 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: on live now. Now, here's what I want to tell y'all. 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: Why should you care? Why should you care? Well, I'm 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: so glad you asked. So. The Congress is a coequal 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: branch of government, and Congress dictates whether or what builds 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: the president signs into law. Okay, what we have seen 33 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: in recent weeks is that literally since Donald Trump has 34 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: been torn into torn into office January twentieth, we have 35 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: seen a Republican Congress, a Republican administration that has been 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: willing to give Donald Trump a rubber stamp. We talked 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: about this several times, that there's no accountability, that it 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: feels like a land has no president. All of that, 39 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer had to have seen Hakim Jeffries, who is 40 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: the House Democratic Leader we've been calling him the opposition leader, 41 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: ensure that his caucus, that House Democrats, voted in lockstep 42 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: to oppose a continuing resolution that even included a cut 43 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: of a billion dollars to the DC government. What does 44 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: that mean for you? If you live in Mississippi or 45 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: Alabama or Washington State, which is where I'm from, why 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: should you care about that? Well, if you're willing to 47 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: cut the budget of another entity because you don't agree 48 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: with their politics, or you want to punish them or whatever, 49 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: that's a very dangerous precedent to set. And that is 50 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: kind of the role where where that we're walking down. 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: So we assumed that because Chuck Schumer said last week, Hey, guys, 52 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to be voting in lockstep with 53 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: the House Dems. We're going to ensure that our party 54 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: is lined up together. We're going to protect the American people. 55 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: That's the most important party here, y'all. He was supposed 56 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: to be protecting the needs and the interests of the 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: American people. And guess what, Chuck, he didn't understand the assignment. 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: He did not understand the assignment. Instead, he said, you 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: know what, hell with this. Not only am I going 60 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: to vote with the Republicans on this Continuing Resolution, I 61 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: am going to get ten of us to stand in 62 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: lockstep to pass this. As you all may know, in 63 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the Senate, the United States Senate, most of us would 64 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: just think a simple majority, right would ensure that we 65 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: could pass policy. Well that's not the case. In order 66 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: for a cloture vote to happen, you have to have 67 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: sixty votes. So because of the margins in the margins 68 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: in the Senate, you normally are going to have to 69 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: have some Democrats who side with Republicans to get the 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: bill to cloture, and then for the ultimate measure, whatever 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: that legislation is. Here was the Continued Resolution, which is 72 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: a budget how things will be funded throughout the government 73 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: or not funded, which is another big part. So they 74 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: voted for cloture, which means the overall bill could continue, 75 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: and then they allowed the Republicans to get this measure 76 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: through that now gives Donald Trump and Elon Musk more 77 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: rain to do whatever they want to do. So regardless 78 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: of if you guys care about this or not, what 79 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: you've got to understand is that even at your job. 80 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: You have accountability. If you come into work late every day, 81 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: you got to have a conversation with your boss. Right 82 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: after you had a conversation with your boss, you still 83 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: coming to work late. You are may get disciplined, maybe 84 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: some type of probationary period, and then you ultimately lose 85 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: your job. If the American people are telling you what 86 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: time it is, Chucky, if the American people are telling 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: you how they want you to vote, Chucky, I'm going 88 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: to need you to fall in line. Friend. So that's 89 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: what's happening. So now Chuck Schumer's making his calls, he's 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: making his rounds, he's asking people for cover, he's asking 91 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: people for support. He's telling them, whatever you want to do, 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: I'll do it, man. We told you what to do. Man. 93 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: So here's the thing I want to know from y'all 94 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: if you think that Chuck Schumer should face any consequence 95 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: for again, this is the Senate minority leader. He only 96 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: got but so much power. And mind you, let me 97 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: tell you. When the Republicans were in the minority, there's 98 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: a guy named Mitch McConnell who some of y'all might 99 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: have seen like this at a press conference, and he 100 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: was stuck. He didn't get stuck when it was time 101 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: for them to debate a continuing resolution that they didn't like. 102 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, when he didn't want to give 103 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden approval or be on the other side of 104 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: what they would what they would call a democratic rubber stamp, 105 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: he didn't give him no support, No, no, no, no no. 106 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: Guess what Mitch McConnell did, friends, He philibustered that bill. Philibuster, 107 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you asked. That means that he was 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: on the Senate floor talking that ish about the bill 109 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: because he didn't want the thing to pass. That's what 110 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: you do, you put up a little bit of fight. 111 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: And here's the problem. Me a political myself. I'm a 112 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: political strategist. I grew up professionally in this stuff. I 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: love this stuff. I have been telling people for a 114 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: year that we are living, we will live under a 115 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: fascist regime if Donald Trump wins this election. Okay, I 116 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: have been and you know why I'm telling you that 117 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: because I believe it, and we're already seeing signs of it. 118 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: We have lost there's an index, a democracy index. We 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: have lost standing on that democracy index. I believe the 120 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: words that are coming out of my mouth. I ain't line, y'all. 121 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: I believe that we are fifty two steps closer to fascism. Okay, 122 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: so I'm not telling you something I don't believe. So 123 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: my question is for folks in elected office who have 124 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: also said the same thing that me and my friends, 125 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: people who are in the political process have said for 126 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: over a year that this will be fascism, that democracy 127 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: will be dead, which means only that people power will 128 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: exist no more. If we really believe that, why would 129 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: you vote in favor of giving somebody more reach like 130 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: Elon Musk would doge the Department of Government Efficiency that 131 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: ain't even a real department. Why would you give Donald Trump, 132 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: who's signing in these executive actions, all these executive actions 133 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: that are not into law, rogue authority for him, abuses 134 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: of power for him trying to strengthen and garner more 135 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: presidential power, which he clearly doesn't need. There need to 136 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: be more checks and balances. Why would you give him 137 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: more authority? And not even filibuster it. Y'all wanted to 138 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: keep the filibuster bro use the filipbuster. So I want 139 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: to just tell y'all about some other folks who didn't 140 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: quite get this right. Okay, So there were several several 141 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: Democrats who voted to support this measure, and I know 142 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: that some of you have already been following this issue, 143 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: so you know who they are. I am going to 144 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: one of our graphics because y'all, my memory is bad 145 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: to pull up who the list of senators were that 146 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: voted for this bill, the Continuing Resolution. Some of them were, 147 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: for example, Kristin Gillibrand in New York. So why are 148 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: you voting for it? What's on the line for you? 149 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Catherine Cortes, mast them out of Nevada? Why are you 150 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: voting for it? Let me see who else voted for this. 151 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: I want to name everybody, because it's not just Chuck 152 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: Shoo who should be facing these consequences. It's the other 153 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: people too who voted for this. But I do think 154 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: that he had an obligation and he didn't fulfill his obligation. 155 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: He's the leader, so if he gives them cover, which 156 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: means he gives them permission to vote for it, we 157 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: have a problem, you know. So let's see who else. 158 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: The vote was sixty two to thirty eight, and it 159 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: was a six month extension of the current budget, which 160 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: means that in six months we're gonna be back here again, 161 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: probably before them. So Cinni Minority leader Chuck Schumer, John 162 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: Fetterman of Pennsylvania again, Catherine Cortes mass So of Nevada. 163 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Dick Durbin, who is normally pretty good on issues of Illinois, 164 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: voted for this. Brian Shattz of Hawaii. Now, Brian, what 165 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: you doing? Gary Peters of Michigan, really, what are you doing? Like? 166 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: Do these folks not realize they have people who would 167 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: be impacted by some of these cuts in their states. 168 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,359 Speaker 1: Maggie Hassen of New Hampshire, a Grin again, Kirsten Gillibrand 169 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: of New York, and Jean Shaheen of New Hampshire, who, 170 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: by the way, says she's not going to uh seek 171 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: office again, She's gonna step down after this term. So 172 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: what did you have to lose? Friend? And then Angus King, 173 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: who is an independent from Maine but caucuses with the Democrats. 174 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: That's what we're up against. So my position is you 175 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: need to make sure these people hear from you and 176 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: understand what's at stake here. There are those of you 177 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: who have been hearing us say this for weeks now 178 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: that you need to call these members of Congress, make 179 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: your voices heard, ensure that they are doing the right thing. 180 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: And you're like, why should I care? Why should I 181 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: Why should I take my time to call them? I've 182 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: never seen them work for us? Why should I care? Well, 183 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna tell you. Where I think 184 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: black folks in particular have the greatest amount of power, 185 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: it is in our political power, and it is the 186 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: place where we will surrender it the easiest. We uh 187 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,359 Speaker 1: forsake our obligation to hold these members of Congress accountable 188 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: whether they whether we believe they work for us or not, 189 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: they actually do. They are paid with our hard earned 190 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. And so those are the reasons why you 191 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: should care and really focus on. Hey, these I'm gonna 192 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: look at what this bill says it will do to 193 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: people in communities like mine. I'm gonna look at what 194 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: this bill will do to me personally. This is how 195 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: these things would harm me personally. I think those are 196 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: the kinds of conversations that we have to do now. 197 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: When that new shoe drops, or there's a a concert 198 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: you want to go to, or there's you know, some 199 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: contest where you can earn some you know, participatedness and 200 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: you get a five hundred dollar gift card. Right, we 201 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: will bust a move. But when it's come, when it 202 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: comes time to protect our interest, we don't. And so 203 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: I really want to understand from you all why, like 204 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: what would keep you from engaging in that way. Our 205 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: voices are sometimes all we have, and so we've got 206 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: to lift our voices and make sure that we hold 207 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: these people accountable. Now here's let me tell you some tea. 208 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: So Chuck Schumer been getting all this pressure, and what 209 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: he did was he has a new book out on 210 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: the rise of anti Semitism in America, and his little 211 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: book tour was supposed to start. His book tour was 212 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: supposed to start in Baltimore Monday. So yesterday, y'all, Chuck 213 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: Schumer canceled the tour. And let me tell you why 214 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: he canceled the tour because some of you understood the 215 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: assignment in ways that he did not, in ways that 216 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: some of us have not. And you called his office 217 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: until they cut the phones off, and you blew up 218 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: the social media accounts until they cut those off, and 219 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: they stopped responding, but the pressure was successful because he's 220 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: postponed the tour because he did not want to face 221 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: those who he hurt. And that is what this is 222 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: all about, y'all. We are in a different age. Something 223 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: more is required out of all of us. And I 224 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: will tell you, honestly, I don't have all the answers. 225 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't even remember all the Democrats who voted against 226 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: or voted for the continued Resolution. But what I can 227 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: tell you I know is that if we do extraordinary things, 228 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: we will experience extraordinary results. I want to hear from 229 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: y'all honestly on what else you think we can and 230 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: must do. I think that some people would say, how 231 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: do y'all got all this time to be mad at 232 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer? You should be mad at the Republicans, Chiad. 233 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: We've been mad at them. We've been mad at them, 234 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: but they don't feel accountable to us. They say smartmouth 235 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: things to us when we raise our concerns to them. 236 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: We need to go first to the people who said 237 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: that they stood with us on issues, who go on 238 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: our platforms to reach our people, who come to our 239 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: churches and ask for our votes, who come into our communities, 240 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: for Black History Months, gatherings and all the things in 241 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: the parade celebrating. Judent team voted for the holiday, but 242 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: when it comes time to protect the funding that will 243 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: keep us alive, we looking like where you at? Those 244 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: are the kinds of things that we need to be 245 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: wrestling with in this moment, and I think it is 246 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: abundantly important that we start shifting our expectations and we 247 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: start shifting how we deal with elected officials who are 248 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: supposed to serve us. Let me tell you why, y'all. 249 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Do you know there are whole communities of people who 250 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: know by default to call their elected officials, who know like, oh, well, 251 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: if I host this fundraiser, I have an audience with 252 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: this person, They'll at least listen to what I have 253 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: to say. They know that if they go up to 254 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill and request a meeting, that that member has 255 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: an obligation to hear from them. We have that power. 256 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: We just have decided that it's not important enough, or 257 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: or because I don't want to cast judgment. You might 258 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: be in a position where you're like, hey, given the 259 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: work that I do and the hours that I work, 260 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I don't have time to call. Maybe you work all 261 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: day and you're not allowed to make any personal calls, 262 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: so you can't call the Hill, or maybe you don't 263 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: you're not on social media, or maybe you're like, I 264 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: can't fly. I can't afford to fly to DC to 265 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: talk to these members in their face, only to potentially 266 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: get denied a meeting. I get it. But what you 267 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: can do also is look up organizations in your area. 268 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Maybe you're an educator, maybe you are, you know, a janitor, 269 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you are in a labor union. Did you know 270 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: that these labor unions have relationships with these folks, that 271 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: there are education associations that have relationships with these folks. 272 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: That maybe you care deeply about civil rights, so you 273 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: join the NAACP or Urban League or what have you, 274 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: and they have relationships with these folks. Maybe you prefer 275 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: to be a little more confrontational and you want to 276 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: sign a petition about it when you can go to 277 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: color Change right. Maybe you're seeing that there are people 278 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: who represent your interests better who are running for office 279 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: in these neighborhoods. You can support that person. Now you 280 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: might say, Angela, I don't have money to give to 281 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: these members, and actually I wish we ken't money out 282 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: of politics all together. I understand that too. You can 283 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: phone Bank for that person, you can text Bank for 284 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: that person and push them. Now, some of y'all just 285 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: like me too, I'm not gonna lie. Maybe like well, 286 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: that sounds real cute and cool, but I don't know 287 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: if there's gonna be another election. I'm with you. I 288 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: don't know either. But here's what I do know. We 289 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: have an obligation to do different. We are expecting extraordinary 290 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: things from Members of Congress, from elected officials in these 291 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: very trying times, but we are not doing extraordinary things ourselves. 292 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: And calling your member of Congress and holding them accountable 293 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: or meeting with them or showing up to their town 294 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: hall is not an extraordinary thing. It is actually the 295 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: least you can do. And if you're not able to 296 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: do it, call a member of your family, call someone 297 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: in your community who you trust and ask them to 298 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: do it for with you. If you are intimidating, you 299 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: could literally send a message to our ed Native lampod 300 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: or you can put a question in the chat today. 301 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: I'm looking on to Lo Lo too to see if 302 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: we have any questions today to ask them, you know, 303 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: to help.

We can try to call somebody tomorrow. But yeah, 311 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: I think that we should do some of those things. 312 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: Let me get to some of these questions before we're 313 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: out of time. Thanks Sol for Senandy. So, why did 314 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: Chuck say that the filibuster would give Trump more power? 315 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: Is it true if the government shuts down, Trump has 316 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: a better plan hand. So here's a real thing. What 317 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump wanted in this instance was for the government 318 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: to stay open. This bill helps the government stay open. 319 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: A lot of federal workers were saying themselves, shut it 320 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: down because it's been shut down anyway. That's what we've 321 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: been saying on the podcast for a little over a week. 322 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: It has been shut Now, what they're doing is an 323 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: abuse of power, and so they're engaging and shut down tactics. 324 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: They just dismantled the Department Education. Do you know the 325 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: same day that the Senate passed the continuing resolution that 326 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer put his staff of approval on and endorsed 327 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: and passed and voted yes on. Did you know that 328 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: same day that Donald Trump dismantled the Minority Business Development Agency? 329 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: Did you know that he ended the CDFI fund what 330 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: helps to which helps to ensure balance and fair access 331 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: to poor communities to financial services and resources. That's what 332 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: we're up again. So the government's been shut down and 333 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't need them to pass any bill to do that, 334 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: So we should be using this time to hold them accountable. Like, yeah, bro, 335 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: I would love to vote on your little bill, but 336 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: until you rein and Elon Musk, I ain't got no 337 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: time for that. Yeah, bro, I would love to vote 338 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: on your little bill, but until you I'm signing executive 339 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: actions that you think went through the legislative process, I 340 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: ain't got no time for that. That's how you handle that. 341 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: You do not meet someone who is a dictator and 342 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: an abuser of power by giving them more access and power. 343 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: That's not how that works. Come on, we gotta know 344 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: better than that. We gotta fight better than that. Fighting 345 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: back is not saying yes, that is surrender. And that's 346 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: why I really believe that Chuck Schumer in his incendency too. 347 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: But I don't believe he's gonna run again. The word 348 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: on the street is he is not going to pursue 349 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: office again. So he should be more bolder than more 350 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: bold than ever. Right. I'm not talking about him stepping 351 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: down from his seat, because that's gonna take too long. 352 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking about stepping down from leadership because if you 353 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: can't lead, and you can't lead with courage, and you 354 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: can't follow what the people who sent you want. And 355 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the small minority of donors who 356 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: wanted you to pass that bill for defense funding. I'm clear, 357 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: I see you, Bro, I'm not talking about them, talking 358 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: about the people who wanted the federal government workers who 359 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: you claim to be standing in solidarity with as they 360 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: sue to get access to their jobs and to keep 361 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: their jobs. I'm not talking about the small number of 362 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: donors who had a business interest in this bill passing. 363 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: I'm saying that your values are off, and because your 364 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: values are off, you don't deserve to lead the American 365 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: people on the centate side. That's what I really believe. 366 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: I would like to go over what's being cut, but 367 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: instead of me doing that, I'm actually going to refer 368 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: you to our last podcast from Thursday where we talk 369 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: about that in detail, Elizabeth. But I did answer your 370 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: first question, Percy Miracles. What's the Democrats specific black agenda 371 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: ain't one boom. We got to make one, and we 372 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: have to demand that they are held accountable to that. 373 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: I love this. Then this goes right back to the 374 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: heart of what we were really saying. Boston Baby sixty 375 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: eight says, I've called and left messages. What impact did 376 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: it really have? What I can tell you is that 377 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: I know for a fact that Chuck Schumer has been 378 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: scrambling making calls to people asking for help, and it 379 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: might have been your call. I think they might have 380 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: said Boston Baby called me. So let me go ahead 381 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and do what I need to do. Let me at 382 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: least ask a question. But I do want you to 383 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: know it is a part of our collective action when 384 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: we come together and say, it's not about who the 385 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: person leading it is. It's not about if it goes 386 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: exactly my way. Lolo knows about that. Me and Lolo 387 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: both hardheaded and We like for things to be in 388 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: our way, in our language, but it doesn't have to 389 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: be that if we agree on the end goal, which 390 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: often is the liberation for people. Me personally, I'm always 391 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: talking about the liberation for black people. The only way 392 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: to liberation is for people to be on one accord. 393 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: So if you can't agree on how we get there, 394 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: if you can't agree on when we get there, if 395 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: you can't agree on the tactics for how we get there, 396 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: we're going to have a problem. And I think that 397 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: it is dangerous enough in this country right now. We 398 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: have got to pivot. The tactics of the past have 399 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: got us so far, thank you. It is time for 400 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: the tactics of the present. It's time for the tactics 401 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: of future generations. And so I'm not suggesting that we 402 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: leave it at a call. I'm suggesting that we launch 403 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: a campaign to call for his resignation as the minority leader. 404 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Because it's not that Chuck. Maybe. I mean, some people 405 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: would argue he's always been a bad leader. Some people 406 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: would say, eh, it's indifferent. But what I guess, what 407 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you all is we are living in unprecedented 408 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: times and we need innovation and creativity and boldness and 409 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: courage to get us through this season. If we don't 410 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: have that in leadership for the people who have to 411 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: sit down with Donald Trump, not the people who are 412 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: in the background whispering laughing with him in the Oval 413 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: office and at these different public gatherings, but people who 414 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: really believe that this man is the threat we said 415 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: he is, then that means we got to take a 416 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: one eighty. That means we got to try a different approach. 417 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: That means that the season and the time that we're 418 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: in requires something greater of us. So let us lean 419 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: into what that greater might be. I would love to 420 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: hear from you all on what you think this moment 421 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: requires from us politically, psychologically, economically, Like y'all, I really 422 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: think we should be moving like this is turning into fascism. 423 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: We should know where we're going to get our food from. 424 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: We should know how to contact people if they're not 425 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: saved in our phone. We should know some phone numbers 426 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: by heart. We should have all of our documents. Do 427 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: you have your birth certificate? Do you have your Social 428 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: Security card? Because they cut back on Social Security access right, 429 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: do you have your passport? If you don't have a passport, 430 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: hurry up and go get one. If it's near expiration, 431 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe you have six months left, go get your passport. Okay. 432 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: For people who are like, stop up on nonperishables. If 433 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: you can afford a generator, get a generator. If you 434 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: have a neighbor that you're close to and y'all can 435 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: go in on a generator, get a generator. Okay, I'm 436 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: telling you, I'll figure out how we can grow some crops. 437 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: I want to learn how to farm, y'all. Okay, I'm 438 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: not in the right place again. I'm in Seattle, but 439 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: like I need to learn how. I need to know. 440 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: And if I'm not the farmer, can I, you know, 441 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: put some resources into somebody who is one. I am 442 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: not trying to scare you. What I'm trying to tell 443 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: you is I don't know what we're up against, and 444 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where we are going from here. But 445 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: I know that we can create a vision of the 446 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: America that we want to see. I know that we 447 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: can hold accountable those in power for the America that 448 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: we want to see. And we must demand change, we 449 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: must demand to move different. But those demands all start 450 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: with us. So until next time. I'm so grateful to 451 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: be here with you all. I wouldn't mind if you 452 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: posted Shumer must step down. I wouldn't mind if you 453 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: told us who you think should be leading the Democrats 454 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: in the Senate. I want to know. We know who's 455 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: leading the Republicans, Donald Trump on every level, because don't 456 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: nobody else have a backbone or a spine in his party? 457 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: So our folks can look the same way, right, So 458 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: let's move different. Let's do our parts so we can easily, 459 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: in an integrity call upon them to do their parts. 460 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: And until next time, welcome home.
