0:18
Speaker 2: Wake up.
0:20
Speaker 3: I am when you be clapping back, you wake up
0:23
Speaker 3: with you. But we don't have any hearings this early.
0:26
Speaker 3: I just want to be weird. Nothing starts before ten o'clock.
0:29
Speaker 1: How are you, first and foremost? How you feeling?
0:32
Speaker 3: I'm over it. It's only been what has it been
0:35
Speaker 3: thirty days? Yet this bol this fool is driving me crazy.
0:39
Speaker 1: Do you eat sleeping? Shit? This though? Like? Do you mean? Like?
0:41
Speaker 1: Do you don't? Never?
0:42
Speaker 4: Like just turn off, turn the TV off, like everything,
0:44
Speaker 4: like you know what. I don't want to think about it.
0:46
Speaker 3: I don't want to do nothing as much as I
0:48
Speaker 3: don't want to think about it. I definitely stop watching
0:50
Speaker 3: the news as much as I used to. But people
0:52
Speaker 3: are like DM and me. They're sending me emails. We're
0:55
Speaker 3: constantly getting phone calls, So no, I don't turn off.
1:00
Speaker 2: Is there anything good that this administration has done so
1:02
Speaker 2: far anything that you can say, well, at least that's
1:04
Speaker 2: a good thing.
1:06
Speaker 3: Huh.
1:08
Speaker 1: Not nothing.
1:09
Speaker 4: I saw Bernie Sanders post yesterday about he likes what
1:13
Speaker 4: Trump is attempting to do with the Pentagon by auditing them.
1:15
Speaker 3: And stuff like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's
1:19
Speaker 3: the reality. I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where
1:21
Speaker 3: all the drama typically happens. And we've had Department of
1:25
Speaker 3: Defense come before us a number of times. The vast
1:28
Speaker 3: majority of the waste, fraught, and abuse that we have
1:29
Speaker 3: in this country is Department of Defense. You can google
1:32
Speaker 3: and find out that at some point in time we
1:34
Speaker 3: were spending like one thousand dollars per toilet or something.
1:37
Speaker 3: So that's where we see these inflated costs. That's where
1:40
Speaker 3: we have a lot of contractors, that's where they play
1:43
Speaker 3: a lot of games. That's where Elin gets the vast
1:45
Speaker 3: majority of his money is out of Defense. And when
1:48
Speaker 3: they come before us and we ask them about their audit,
1:51
Speaker 3: they haven't had a clean audit in the last six
1:53
Speaker 3: times we've asked for an audit. So the fact that
1:56
Speaker 3: they're going to start with people that are getting six
1:58
Speaker 3: dollars a day to eat, or they want to go
2:00
Speaker 3: after the little old lady that's just trying to get
2:03
Speaker 3: her little health care and they believe that that's what
2:05
Speaker 3: the savings is. That's not where the savings is. Nor
2:08
Speaker 3: is it going after career civil servants and saying, oh,
2:12
Speaker 3: let me take your coins, let me take your job.
2:15
Speaker 3: Because when we add up, even if we fired everybody
2:18
Speaker 3: that works for the federal government, it's only maybe four
2:21
Speaker 3: or five percent of our budget, but over or approximately
2:25
Speaker 3: fifty percent of our discretionary budget is defense, and they
2:29
Speaker 3: can't pass an audit. So why we didn't start there
2:32
Speaker 3: where Elon has decided that he was going to get
2:34
Speaker 3: two new contracts just in two weeks, one for four
2:38
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars to Tesla, another for a little over
2:41
Speaker 3: three hundred million dollars to SpaceX. I don't know why
2:44
Speaker 3: we didn't start there, but it seems like we could
2:47
Speaker 3: find a lot of waste, fraud and abuse because again
2:50
Speaker 3: they've not been able to pass an audit.
2:51
Speaker 1: There is a lot of waste for fraud and abuse
2:53
Speaker 1: in the federal government.
2:54
Speaker 3: Though I'm not going to say that there's a lot.
2:55
Speaker 3: I'm going to say that it does exist. I'm going
2:59
Speaker 3: to say that exist. I don't think that there's a lot.
3:01
Speaker 3: I think we're in debt because we decide that we're
3:05
Speaker 3: going to reduce the income. Right, So under Trump and
3:08
Speaker 3: his first administration, we went into debt eight trillion dollars. Now,
3:13
Speaker 3: he wanted to say it was because of COVID, it
3:15
Speaker 3: really wasn't. Obviously there was money that we sent out
3:18
Speaker 3: because people were in need during COVID to make sure
3:20
Speaker 3: that we didn't go into a recession. But at the
3:22
Speaker 3: end of the day, it was because he said, oh,
3:24
Speaker 3: wait a minute, that income, We're gonna stop bringing that
3:27
Speaker 3: in from the top one percenters. Well, those Trump tax
3:30
Speaker 3: cuts they expire right about now, and he's trying to
3:33
Speaker 3: reinstitute them. So here it is. You've got Elon Muss
3:36
Speaker 3: running around Tomason, I'm cutting this, I'm slashing this, I'm
3:38
Speaker 3: doing this and that and da da da, all this
3:40
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Right. I do want to be clear
3:43
Speaker 3: that at the same time, they're saying, but we got
3:45
Speaker 3: to raise the debt limit, Well, why do you have
3:48
Speaker 3: to raise the debt limit if we are saving all
3:50
Speaker 3: this money? You know why? Because they actually want to
3:54
Speaker 3: deepen the tax cuts for all those billionaires that were
3:57
Speaker 3: sitting on stage with him on January twentieth. Those guys
4:01
Speaker 3: are looking to keep more money in their pocket. That
4:04
Speaker 3: is why it's why we ran into debt last time.
4:07
Speaker 3: It's why we're going to run into debt again. The
4:09
Speaker 3: only time that we've had a budget that was clean
4:13
Speaker 3: and we didn't have to worry about debt. You know
4:15
Speaker 3: who was in office, Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton a Democrat.
4:18
Speaker 3: You know what the tax rate was. It was what
4:20
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was proposing. That is not the tax rate
4:24
Speaker 3: that they are looking to do on the one percenters.
4:27
Speaker 4: School school me on this too, right, Bill Clinton did
4:30
Speaker 4: the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially elon saying
4:35
Speaker 4: he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As
4:37
Speaker 4: far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or
4:41
Speaker 4: more efficient. You know, what do you say to that,
4:44
Speaker 4: what's the difference between what Clinton did in the nineties
4:46
Speaker 4: and what he s So there was.
4:47
Speaker 3: A lot that's different. But I do want to start
4:49
Speaker 3: with because I actually looked at the numbers, we really
4:53
Speaker 3: work kind of big. We actually had more people working
4:56
Speaker 3: in the federal government when Bill Clinton was in office
5:00
Speaker 3: initially than we have now, you know the differences. The
5:04
Speaker 3: country's just a little bit bigger, right, So chances are
5:07
Speaker 3: you would need more. And we're talking about the people
5:09
Speaker 3: that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the people
5:11
Speaker 3: because all y'all about to start calling us some much
5:12
Speaker 3: someone I ain't got my tax refund check? Okay, So
5:15
Speaker 3: like firing the irs, we're talking about you know, the
5:18
Speaker 3: people that do FAA so the planes don't fall out
5:21
Speaker 3: the sky, right, So we have a lot more going on,
5:24
Speaker 3: and we literally don't even have as many people as
5:26
Speaker 3: we had working when he came in, so we were
5:29
Speaker 3: a little kind of bloated when it came down to it.
5:32
Speaker 3: But also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially
5:35
Speaker 3: what he had, was an advisor. What they have said
5:39
Speaker 3: is that Elon is the one that cut off the
5:40
Speaker 3: spicett of money, like this is after money was appropriated
5:44
Speaker 3: and then he's like, oh no, no, no, you can't get
5:45
Speaker 3: that money. And now people are dying in other countries
5:48
Speaker 3: because USAID has stopped. And I want to be clear
5:52
Speaker 3: about something. You can shut down USAID if you want to,
5:56
Speaker 3: but that has to be done congressionally, Okay. That's number one.
5:59
Speaker 3: Number two, USAID is less than one percent of our budget.
6:04
Speaker 3: So they over here talking about something, Oh, they handing
6:05
Speaker 3: out condoms and they doing this and all this kind
6:08
Speaker 3: of stuff. It's literally less than one percent of our
6:11
Speaker 3: budget because they don't want you to pay attention to
6:13
Speaker 3: the over ninety nine percent of the budget, where yes,
6:15
Speaker 3: I would say most of the waste, fraud, and abuse
6:18
Speaker 3: is actually still at the hands of somebody like Elon Musk.
6:21
Speaker 3: Like these bootleg trucks that he decided that he was
6:24
Speaker 3: going to sell the federal government. I think maybe at
6:27
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know what the price
6:29
Speaker 3: is per truck or whatever. But he's selling these trucks
6:32
Speaker 3: at the same time that he's getting rid of all
6:34
Speaker 3: the people that were conducting investigations over him about Tesla,
6:40
Speaker 3: investigations about SpaceX. He got rid of all those people.
6:44
Speaker 3: And even in that interview that Trump just did, he's
6:47
Speaker 3: like asked by Fox News of all places, right, He's asked, well,
6:52
Speaker 3: you know who's going to oversee Elon and make sure
6:55
Speaker 3: his conflicts are good? He's like, oh, Elon, is I'm
7:00
Speaker 3: my woman in now? Like I mean, because I got
7:02
Speaker 3: a whole body of people that's over me, Like I
7:04
Speaker 3: don't just get to decide what is like right and wrong.
7:07
Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm not allowed to take any money, like
7:10
Speaker 3: I have to live a very poor life right now,
7:12
Speaker 3: right like you're getting paid, I could be getting paid.
7:15
Speaker 3: I made more money before. I will make more money
7:18
Speaker 3: up right now. I am living, not in the overflow, no,
7:22
Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no. And
7:31
Speaker 3: I had to shut them down because first they said
7:33
Speaker 3: that I had a husband. No husband, y'all. First they
7:37
Speaker 3: said I had a husband, and they said that I
7:39
Speaker 3: was paying him half a million dollars to keep me safe.
7:43
Speaker 3: And people were like, he should be doing that for free.
7:45
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know if y'all mix
7:46
Speaker 3: up the playground or if y'all just think every black
7:50
Speaker 3: girl that comes to Congress brings a husband who has
7:53
Speaker 3: to live off. That's not what it is, Okay, No husband,
7:56
Speaker 3: never been married, never been engaged, right, that's number one.
7:59
Speaker 3: So and they said, well, she's worth nine million dollars
8:03
Speaker 3: and she's got all these homes. Let me tell you something.
8:06
Speaker 3: When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in,
8:09
Speaker 3: there was a case that I've been working for seven years.
8:13
Speaker 3: It was a civil rights case, one of my last
8:15
Speaker 3: two civil rights cases, and I still got one pennant.
8:17
Speaker 3: So just so y'all know, if I got to resign,
8:19
Speaker 3: I'm a resign. But nevertheless, it goes to trial, I'm
8:22
Speaker 3: unable to participate because I'm not supposed to be. But
8:25
Speaker 3: I'm in this wine down period. It actually hits for
8:29
Speaker 3: about twenty two million dollars. All right, so ethic says
8:33
Speaker 3: you can't collect your attorneys feel that at all? Now,
8:38
Speaker 3: mind you, I worked this case before I ever ran
8:41
Speaker 3: for Congress, right, So like that gives you an idea
8:45
Speaker 3: of how far they go when it comes to the no.
8:48
Speaker 3: But here's the deal. I would have resigned and I
8:50
Speaker 3: will design. No, I'm not finna play with my money
8:53
Speaker 3: like y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for
8:55
Speaker 3: seven years. It was against a very small city that
8:58
Speaker 3: literally can't pay it. Now, if for some reason and
9:00
Speaker 3: they go find the coins, then absolutely I'm resigning, forcing
9:03
Speaker 3: a special election and I'll win, right, But I do
9:06
Speaker 3: have another one that is penning, and it's pinning against
9:08
Speaker 3: the city of Dallas, and the officer in that case
9:12
Speaker 3: actually played guilty if the City of Dallas does pay up.
9:15
Speaker 3: You heard it here. First, You're resigning, and it will
9:19
Speaker 3: be a seven figure payday for me because as an attorney, yeah,
9:23
Speaker 3: we do have cases that hit for millions of dollars.
9:26
Speaker 3: It's not really that odd. The thing is that I've
9:29
Speaker 3: always been a bleeding heart liberal. I have, so I
9:32
Speaker 3: was doing more criminal defense than anything. I wasn't really
9:35
Speaker 3: doing a lot of the big million dollar cases unless
9:38
Speaker 3: I was helping out the homies. I've got plenty of
9:40
Speaker 3: cases where I've gone into court help homies get seven
9:44
Speaker 3: figure results. But that never was me. I just wanted
9:47
Speaker 3: to be comfortable. And now I got, you know, deal
9:49
Speaker 3: with Congress.
9:49
Speaker 1: You said you can resign and didn't run again.
9:51
Speaker 3: You said, yeah, I'm let my Yeah. Billionaires in Congress
9:58
Speaker 3: that part, and they all got upset about this lie.
10:01
Speaker 3: I'm like, first of all, why y'all mad? If this
10:03
Speaker 3: what's true? Why is this a problem? It's a problem
10:06
Speaker 3: just because I'm a black woman for most of them, right,
10:08
Speaker 3: because they still not mad that Elon literally made another
10:12
Speaker 3: one hundred and something billion dollars since the election. Y'all
10:16
Speaker 3: not mad at this African man.
10:20
Speaker 2: A question you think a lot of the stuff that
10:21
Speaker 2: Trump is doing now is to quiet that is, well,
10:25
Speaker 2: we're possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars as
10:27
Speaker 2: the district, possibly gonna take the congestion prices. Say hello
10:31
Speaker 2: to the king. You think he's doing those things to say,
10:33
Speaker 2: you know what, all the rest of our stuff, these
10:35
Speaker 2: people won't even check me because I'm doing they think
10:37
Speaker 2: I'm doing this.
10:37
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. He knows that they're not going to
10:40
Speaker 3: check them, right, Like, I mean, you can go back
10:41
Speaker 3: and play the clips of him talking about how he
10:43
Speaker 3: loves the uneducated. Right if you would ever run for president,
10:46
Speaker 3: he was runn as a Republican, like and we know, like,
10:49
Speaker 3: this isn't me trying to throw shade. These are just
10:51
Speaker 3: the facts when you look at who's voting for who
10:54
Speaker 3: the less educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm
10:57
Speaker 3: not even talking about formal education. I'm talking about people
11:00
Speaker 3: that literally don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts.
11:04
Speaker 3: Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans.
11:06
Speaker 3: And it's one of the reasons that we have to
11:08
Speaker 3: stop writing in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want
11:12
Speaker 3: to give you every single little detail that we can
11:14
Speaker 3: find so that you can have all the information. But
11:17
Speaker 3: the reality is that the average person that is going
11:19
Speaker 3: out there and voting, they're not paying attention to that.
11:22
Speaker 3: And we fail to realize how selfish people are. People
11:25
Speaker 3: go out and they vote in their own self interest, right,
11:28
Speaker 3: And so you had all these races that showed up
11:30
Speaker 3: and decided that they were going to vote for the
11:32
Speaker 3: other races because they thought, hey, we are all the same.
11:35
Speaker 3: But the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay,
11:37
Speaker 3: and so when he decided that he was going to
11:39
Speaker 3: look out for somebody, it was only going to be
11:41
Speaker 3: other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So
11:45
Speaker 3: as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid,
11:48
Speaker 3: as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because
11:51
Speaker 3: you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go
11:53
Speaker 3: after the others, not come after us. And now they're saying, oh, well,
11:57
Speaker 3: we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't
11:59
Speaker 3: see it happening right now. That is not a part
12:02
Speaker 3: of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure.
12:04
Speaker 3: So they just had a markup. So this is the
12:06
Speaker 3: first that they're ever talking about this. The budget that
12:09
Speaker 3: they proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup
12:13
Speaker 3: just the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So
12:16
Speaker 3: I mean, theoretically, they should have the money if you
12:18
Speaker 3: decide that people won't have healthcare in this country, which
12:21
Speaker 3: costs a little bit more than five thousand dollars a person.
12:24
Speaker 3: But the reality is that they're not going to do that.
12:26
Speaker 4: You know, it's so interesting I said that eighteen months
12:31
Speaker 4: after he got sworn in. I felt like, you know,
12:34
Speaker 4: the economy was just going to be in the toilet,
12:36
Speaker 4: and I felt like that's what they were going to do,
12:37
Speaker 4: Like they were going to do either the tax credits
12:39
Speaker 4: or the stimulus checks just to pacify all of the
12:42
Speaker 4: people that's going to be out in the street complaining.
12:43
Speaker 4: I mean, you got twelve dollard federal workers already fired
12:45
Speaker 4: and haven't been.
12:47
Speaker 1: Been a month.
12:48
Speaker 3: No, I mean, what's today the nineteenth He's wearing January twentieth.
12:51
Speaker 3: So yeah, we are. And what I need people to
12:54
Speaker 3: understand is that five thousand dollars, even if you get it,
12:56
Speaker 3: it's not going very far because we are headed to
12:58
Speaker 3: a recession. It is the bottom line, and you know,
13:00
Speaker 3: people talked about how terrible the economy was, and that
13:03
Speaker 3: was more so, like things were expensive, but people were
13:07
Speaker 3: absolutely able to still enjoy all these playe rides because
13:12
Speaker 3: every time I called a flight, it was absolutely packed, right,
13:15
Speaker 3: And so yes it was expensive, but you could pay
13:19
Speaker 3: for it. You're gonna end up in a situation where
13:21
Speaker 3: you're not gonna be able to afford the food. Right now,
13:23
Speaker 3: you're getting rid of the people that labor in the fields,
13:27
Speaker 3: right because here's the reality. When you look back at
13:29
Speaker 3: the history of this country, they have always relied on
13:31
Speaker 3: some person of color to labor. That is why they
13:34
Speaker 3: needed slave labor, right, Like we were the ones that
13:37
Speaker 3: they took onto the plantations to work the fields. And
13:39
Speaker 3: so we know that we have so many immigrants that
13:42
Speaker 3: come into this country and the only thing that they're
13:44
Speaker 3: looking for is a way to survive. And so they
13:46
Speaker 3: will work for the pennies that is paid to actually
13:50
Speaker 3: work the farms, and that keeps the cost of our
13:52
Speaker 3: food down. But when they send their money home, it
13:54
Speaker 3: goes a long way, and so their family is able
13:58
Speaker 3: to live a better life than they would have been
14:00
Speaker 3: able to live if they were still there where they
14:02
Speaker 3: didn't have the job opportunities, right, But these are also
14:04
Speaker 3: the people that are building our houses. As you're complaining
14:06
Speaker 3: about the cost of homes, now we have another input
14:09
Speaker 3: cost that's about to go up because listen, these people
14:12
Speaker 3: aren't showing up. I just talked to contractors down in Atlanta,
14:15
Speaker 3: Georgia that talked about the fact that their workers are
14:17
Speaker 3: not showing up to work because they are concerned about
14:20
Speaker 3: whether or not they are gonna come and try to
14:22
Speaker 3: take them away. And this is even if you are
14:24
Speaker 3: a citizen. Because Ice is so ignorant. They rounded up everybody.
14:28
Speaker 3: They rounding up Puerto Ricans, they are Americans, right, They
14:31
Speaker 3: are rounding up Native Americans. They are the most American
14:35
Speaker 3: that you can find, right, Like, they are rounding up everybody.
14:38
Speaker 3: So people of color are like, yo, I am not
14:40
Speaker 3: even going to work. Right, So now you're talking about
14:43
Speaker 3: costs going up, but you're also talking about less people working.
14:46
Speaker 3: The United States is the fifteenth largest employer in the
14:49
Speaker 3: entire world. Right, So now they're like, oh, yeah, all
14:53
Speaker 3: those people were firing. They can just go to private industry.
14:55
Speaker 3: The jobs don't exist, and private industry is signaling that
14:59
Speaker 3: they know that the recession is coming. Southwest has never
15:03
Speaker 3: done a layoff like what they did in the entire
15:06
Speaker 3: existence of Southwest, and they just cut fifteen percent of
15:09
Speaker 3: their workforce. So we're seeing where private industry is starting
15:12
Speaker 3: to collapse and starting to actually reduce their workforce instead
15:17
Speaker 3: of increase it. So where are these people going to go?
15:19
Speaker 3: And people don't realize how many organizations, private or otherwise
15:24
Speaker 3: rely on federal dollars in some way. And now you're saying,
15:27
Speaker 3: we're going to take those federal dollars out, but we're
15:30
Speaker 3: not putting them back into people's pockets. We're putting them
15:33
Speaker 3: into the pockets of my friends. So now Elon is
15:36
Speaker 3: going to get more money. Now I'm going to figure
15:39
Speaker 3: out how to serve myself because he also told his
15:42
Speaker 3: Department of Justice, do not enforce not, do not enforce
15:46
Speaker 3: the marijuana laws right on the books, not do not
15:50
Speaker 3: enforce the fact that there's this disparity between crack and
15:53
Speaker 3: cocaine on the federal level, but do not enforce foreign
15:56
Speaker 3: influence laws. Okay, well, I'm sorry I had nobody from
16:03
Speaker 3: the hood get caught up because they were engaged in
16:06
Speaker 3: some kind of foreign influence as fuck. I mean, so
16:10
Speaker 3: who is it that typically gets caught up. It's people
16:13
Speaker 3: with access and so now basically he's signaling to all
16:17
Speaker 3: of these people that have tried to corrupt our government,
16:22
Speaker 3: come on through, drop off a bag. In fact, y'all
16:25
Speaker 3: just had a senator nearby that just went down. They
16:28
Speaker 3: just gave Menendez eleven years. But the exact thing that
16:31
Speaker 3: he's telling his Department of Justice, do not enforce this.
16:36
Speaker 3: That's where we are.
16:38
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that, because you know, it
16:40
Speaker 2: seems like if you cool with Trump, you get a party.
16:42
Speaker 2: If you cool with Trump, he'll tell you don't prosecute him.
16:44
Speaker 2: Recently we've seen Eric Adams not being prosecuted. What's your
16:47
Speaker 2: thoughts on that, cool.
16:48
Speaker 1: With Trump you get paid?
16:50
Speaker 3: Listen, my thought is that I'm still black in America
16:53
Speaker 3: and I ain't gonna play no kind of games like so,
16:55
Speaker 3: I am gonna walk the straight and narrow for a
16:57
Speaker 3: number of reasons. Number one, I have some rols about myself.
17:00
Speaker 3: In number two, I know that they would love an
17:02
Speaker 3: opportunity to lock me up right like I would be
17:05
Speaker 3: the exception to the rule. But you're absolutely right. I mean,
17:08
Speaker 3: Canada has really been the one to call it out,
17:10
Speaker 3: the fact that I'm rooting for Canada and I'm rooting
17:13
Speaker 3: for Mexico. A lot is really wild, but they are
17:16
Speaker 3: really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now.
17:19
Speaker 3: They can see what it is and they were like,
17:21
Speaker 3: we are not messing with this crazy regime from marer
17:23
Speaker 3: Lago and basically calling them thugs. That's what it is.
17:27
Speaker 3: But I'm like, y'all knew who he was when y'all
17:28
Speaker 3: elected him, So don't act surprised. You elected somebody who
17:33
Speaker 3: was actually convicted by a jury of his peers of
17:36
Speaker 3: thirty four felony convictions. Again, if it was me, there's
17:40
Speaker 3: no way. I mean right now, I ain't got no convictions,
17:43
Speaker 3: no arrests, no nothing, and I would never be qualified
17:46
Speaker 3: for president in this country in the eyes of the
17:49
Speaker 3: vast majority of them. But a guy who literally not
17:52
Speaker 3: only ended up becoming a convicted felon but also had
17:56
Speaker 3: other cases that were pending in other jurisdictions, Oh yeah,
18:00
Speaker 3: he's good to go.
18:01
Speaker 4: You just said something that I've been thinking about. Why
18:04
Speaker 4: do people still talk like Donald Trump is campaigning as
18:07
Speaker 4: opposed to like he's actually here right now in the
18:11
Speaker 4: flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they
18:13
Speaker 4: still talk like you know, they stopped like they talk
18:16
Speaker 4: like they can stop this, Like.
18:18
Speaker 1: I saw governor governor of Illinois JV. What's his name, David.
18:21
Speaker 4: Yes, he was talking, but I'm like, yo, that should
18:23
Speaker 4: have been said four years ago, the things that he
18:25
Speaker 4: was saying, like like why are they talking like he's
18:28
Speaker 4: still campaigning.
18:29
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things.
18:32
Speaker 3: I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we
18:36
Speaker 3: were like, of course, nobody's going to vote for him again.
18:38
Speaker 3: They'll remember the dead bodies they were piling up in
18:41
Speaker 3: freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was
18:44
Speaker 3: selling people the in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know,
18:48
Speaker 3: they were losing their jobs. They did not know if
18:50
Speaker 3: their family members were going to live or die. They
18:52
Speaker 3: will remember. We thought he like people would remember, and
18:55
Speaker 3: then we started to realize way too late that a
18:58
Speaker 3: lot of people forgot all they remembered. It was almost
19:01
Speaker 3: like our brains would not remember the bad. All they
19:04
Speaker 3: remembered was like things like a twelve hundred dollars check,
19:07
Speaker 3: but they didn't remember how they got it right, Like
19:09
Speaker 3: they didn't remember Pelosi. They didn't remember the Democrats were
19:13
Speaker 3: controlling the House at the time, like they didn't remember
19:16
Speaker 3: that part of the story.
19:17
Speaker 1: The Democrats messaging and marketing.
19:20
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're still working. But I will say
19:23
Speaker 3: the other part of this though about Pritzker, is that
19:27
Speaker 3: I think what we're trying to do is at least
19:29
Speaker 3: make sure that people wake up because there are things
19:31
Speaker 3: that we can do. I don't accept defeat. I mean,
19:35
Speaker 3: if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I wouldn't be
19:38
Speaker 3: sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat, so
19:41
Speaker 3: I won't either. Did he win? Absolutely? Are we defeated?
19:44
Speaker 3: Absolutely not? And so right now costitution? Absolutely? I liked that.
19:50
Speaker 3: Look at you with your alliteration. Okay, there we got.
19:54
Speaker 3: So here's the deal. We know that the House is
19:58
Speaker 3: only a three member to friends, three members going to
20:02
Speaker 3: the Democratic side means that we control the House and
20:04
Speaker 3: we start slowing things down. We have three seats that
20:07
Speaker 3: are about to be up. We have two seats that
20:08
Speaker 3: are up right now. We have another run that will
20:10
Speaker 3: be up in New York. And so I'm telling people
20:12
Speaker 3: put all your energy into these three seats because I
20:15
Speaker 3: can't wait two years. Like I'm tired of him already,
20:18
Speaker 3: so we need an opportunity to start stopping him. So
20:21
Speaker 3: I do want governors like Pritzker to give people this
20:24
Speaker 3: belief and this hope, and I want people to go
20:27
Speaker 3: out and say, you know what, I don't have very
20:29
Speaker 3: much money, but I think that it's worthwhile for me
20:31
Speaker 3: to give my ten dollars to these people that are
20:34
Speaker 3: running in Florida, to give money to whoever is going
20:37
Speaker 3: to ultimately run here in New York. I think it's
20:39
Speaker 3: worth my time to show up and actually knock on
20:42
Speaker 3: some doors and talk to people and listen to people
20:44
Speaker 3: and ask them why did you vote for Trump? And
20:47
Speaker 3: Trump would still be your president? But don't you want
20:50
Speaker 3: this to slow down a little bit. Don't you want
20:53
Speaker 3: somebody to say, hey, wait a minute. We think that
20:56
Speaker 3: it's important that social security still exists, and the only
20:59
Speaker 3: thing that will stand between you and your social security
21:04
Speaker 3: is potentially having a democratic House. And it doesn't mean
21:07
Speaker 3: you're a Democrat, but it does mean that you believe
21:10
Speaker 3: in a democratic republic. And so I want us to
21:13
Speaker 3: work these three seats right now because one of the
21:15
Speaker 3: elections Florida will take place on April.
21:17
Speaker 4: First, So those are the guardrails that are in place
21:19
Speaker 4: to protect you know, people like the federal workers from
21:21
Speaker 4: what Elon Musk and Donald.
21:23
Speaker 3: Trumpet well, as it relates that to that part, the
21:27
Speaker 3: guardrails are the courts. That's the only thing that we
21:29
Speaker 3: have standing right now. And I'm concerned that ultimately the
21:33
Speaker 3: High Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying
21:36
Speaker 3: to get those cases up to the Supreme Court again,
21:39
Speaker 3: get them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws
21:44
Speaker 3: a little bit. But the fact that they push back
21:46
Speaker 3: on TikTok of all things like just forget the subject matter.
21:51
Speaker 3: But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it
21:54
Speaker 3: came down to TikTok, they said, oh, never mind, Like, no,
21:57
Speaker 3: you can't do that. That will signed into law whether
21:59
Speaker 3: you like it or not. It will sign its law,
22:01
Speaker 3: and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So I think
22:06
Speaker 3: that we may have a little hope from them when
22:10
Speaker 3: it comes down to things like once Congress appropriates something,
22:13
Speaker 3: you can't do anything about it. Now here's the thing.
22:16
Speaker 3: It'll never make it the Supreme Court in time because
22:19
Speaker 3: this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth. We
22:23
Speaker 3: won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth to
22:26
Speaker 3: get a decision. But we potentially will have a new budget,
22:29
Speaker 3: and that budget should be done because he does have
22:32
Speaker 3: a Trump trifecta. It should be done in the image
22:35
Speaker 3: of what it is that they want to deliver. So
22:39
Speaker 3: we'll see if they can get it done. I don't know.
22:41
Speaker 3: I think we're shutting down on March fourteenth.
22:43
Speaker 1: On March fourteenth, you think the government's gonna shut down?
22:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was
22:48
Speaker 3: under Trump. When we shut down I think at least
22:50
Speaker 3: two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in
22:52
Speaker 3: the history of this country came under Trump. And right
22:56
Speaker 3: now they have a slimmer majority than they had when
22:59
Speaker 3: I was in the hundred and eighteenth session. So right
23:02
Speaker 3: now they only have they can only lose one vote.
23:06
Speaker 3: One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all
23:09
Speaker 3: Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should,
23:13
Speaker 3: they can only lose one. Right now. I don't see
23:18
Speaker 3: how they get it past, but we'll see they can
23:20
Speaker 3: get it past the Senate. I don't see how they
23:23
Speaker 3: get it past the House. Why do you think people
23:25
Speaker 3: still love him so much?
23:26
Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about that I'm talking about, like us,
23:28
Speaker 5: Like why are there some of us that still favor him?
23:32
Speaker 5: Like why is he still so like he he has
23:36
Speaker 5: such a high approval rate Trump.
23:38
Speaker 3: I don't know that. Well, I ain't gonna say you
23:40
Speaker 3: got a high appropri rate. He is doing better in
23:43
Speaker 3: his approvals than his people typically, like a lot of
23:46
Speaker 3: black people.
23:47
Speaker 2: Mean literally, they put out a poll and I think
23:51
Speaker 2: his approval rating was fifty three percent.
23:54
Speaker 5: Talking about black people though, right, Yeah, so many that
23:58
Speaker 5: I can't I can't.
24:00
Speaker 3: I can't explain it. I have no explanations. The only
24:03
Speaker 3: thing that I can say is that Number one, I'm
24:06
Speaker 3: happy to know that Trump is an anomaly. People continue
24:11
Speaker 3: to try to be the next Trump. They are not right.
24:13
Speaker 3: Like we've seen it with Desantus, he's not. We've seen
24:16
Speaker 3: it with Vek Ramaswami, he's not. Elon Musk. His numbers
24:21
Speaker 3: continue to drag him down. Right, for whatever reason, Elon's
24:25
Speaker 3: numbers go down and Trumps still kind of linger about
24:28
Speaker 3: the same orgo a little bit higher. I will say
24:31
Speaker 3: that there is a cultural aspect to Trump that is
24:36
Speaker 3: unique and unlike anything we've ever experienced. And I think
24:38
Speaker 3: that was another failure that we had in the campaign
24:41
Speaker 3: overall is to understand that he's different. He's different. This
24:45
Speaker 3: is a guy who's had his name on buildings forever, sure,
24:48
Speaker 3: and people have been like, oh, he owned it, Not really,
24:51
Speaker 3: his name is just on it, right, And so he's
24:54
Speaker 3: very good at creating this perception. He's created this perception
24:59
Speaker 3: of I am that guy, right, and he literally became
25:03
Speaker 3: the closest thing to Teflon done that we have seen, right,
25:07
Speaker 3: like who has this many cases in this many jurisdictions?
25:11
Speaker 3: And yeah, I know, but I'm just saying so, I
25:16
Speaker 3: think that from a cultural aspect, like he used to
25:18
Speaker 3: be talked about in rap songs and things like that,
25:21
Speaker 3: I think it's hard for you to then say, oh, no,
25:25
Speaker 3: he's a terrible person because there's been this kind of
25:28
Speaker 3: aura around him that was created, which may have been
25:32
Speaker 3: okay for TV, may have been okay for music, may
25:36
Speaker 3: have been okay for casinos, but it ain't okay in
25:39
Speaker 3: the Oval office. Like I need y'all to separate the two,
25:41
Speaker 3: like I don't need it to be that everybody that
25:45
Speaker 3: kind of walks in that lane is now somehow qualified
25:49
Speaker 3: to be president of the United States, because that's it
25:52
Speaker 3: takes different qualities, and I think that that's why it's
25:55
Speaker 3: been so hard to kind of tear him down, is
25:57
Speaker 3: because he's different. I don't think these people are necessary Republicans.
26:01
Speaker 3: I don't think they're necessarily going over to that side.
26:03
Speaker 3: I don't think they're necessarily MAGA. I think that they
26:05
Speaker 3: are just Trumpers, like period. And I think Maga's is
26:09
Speaker 3: supposed to be a movement. But I believe that once
26:12
Speaker 3: he is out of the way, right like, once he's
26:16
Speaker 3: out of the presidency, if he leaves, if he leaves Jesus,
26:20
Speaker 3: because he decided he a king now. But if he
26:22
Speaker 3: leaves the presidency, I don't see anybody else being able
26:25
Speaker 3: to take up the mantle he already said. Jd Vance
26:28
Speaker 3: ain't the one, Like I mean, there's nobody else that
26:31
Speaker 3: will be able to take up that mantle because he
26:33
Speaker 3: is unique. Child.
26:35
Speaker 2: What is what is on your break down? What's on
26:39
Speaker 2: your shirt?
26:40
Speaker 4: Child?
26:41
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, yes, So we dropped the child collection after
26:46
Speaker 3: Nancy mays at it like she wanted to take me outside.
26:50
Speaker 3: So with you, I don't have time.
26:54
Speaker 2: We gotta jump.
26:54
Speaker 1: You can't jumping.
27:09
Speaker 5: When she asked you, I'd like to take this outside.
27:15
Speaker 1: I graduate from the citadel, which is all military.
27:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So d e I helped her just f
27:26
Speaker 3: y I okay, because it didn't exist, and there were
27:29
Speaker 3: people that did not want a woman in the institution.
27:33
Speaker 3: But her father actually taught at the institution, and so
27:37
Speaker 3: she wanted to be just like her dad, and so
27:39
Speaker 3: they sued, they went to the courts so that she
27:42
Speaker 3: could get in as a woman. And now she is
27:45
Speaker 3: the very same woman that wants to do like a
27:48
Speaker 3: bunch of the same immigrants to somehow get over here,
27:51
Speaker 3: get their citizenship and then they like, forget everybody else
27:54
Speaker 3: coming behind me. She is the same. And so she
27:57
Speaker 3: claims that she's been a champion for women and that's
28:00
Speaker 3: why she's against trans people. But she forgets that she
28:03
Speaker 3: benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like most white women,
28:08
Speaker 3: because white women are the vast majority of the beneficiaries
28:12
Speaker 3: of DEI policies. But that's all they is she But
28:16
Speaker 3: when she said let's take it outside, you know, I
28:18
Speaker 3: really want to be like, let's go now, I knew
28:21
Speaker 3: that I couldn't because again they would have been trying
28:23
Speaker 3: to expel me. And if the tables were turned, if
28:26
Speaker 3: I had said that to her, oh oh, the Karen
28:30
Speaker 3: would have been calling everybody to come through and come
28:33
Speaker 3: grab me, and they would have had me on the
28:35
Speaker 3: floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against
28:40
Speaker 3: another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But
28:44
Speaker 3: instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee.
28:49
Speaker 3: I do be thinking that's what they said.
28:52
Speaker 4: I be thinking that these people are so old and
28:54
Speaker 4: so culturally clue is that they don't understand.
28:57
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.
28:58
Speaker 4: And when he did it, no, and even when you
29:00
Speaker 4: did your bad Bill Bush bodies at the guys like whatever, it's.
29:03
Speaker 3: The same guy, Nancy, I am not a child.
29:11
Speaker 1: Now.
29:11
Speaker 3: I do think that she is culturally unaware, even though
29:14
Speaker 3: she's always bragging about how many black people she represents
29:17
Speaker 3: in her district in South Carolina. Black people in South Carolina,
29:19
Speaker 3: wake up, get rid up.
29:21
Speaker 1: We went to high school together.
29:25
Speaker 3: No, well she's anyway. I'm not gonna cuss you said
29:29
Speaker 3: the economy she does, because South Carolina about to catch it,
29:34
Speaker 3: just like all these other ones, all of them, they're
29:37
Speaker 3: about to catch it the hardest. Like you think you're
29:40
Speaker 3: quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New York
29:44
Speaker 3: has money. Okay, guess what California has money? Right, the
29:49
Speaker 3: ones that are broke and need the money, the New
29:51
Speaker 3: York and California Bay into is you little red states
29:55
Speaker 3: down south? The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the
29:58
Speaker 3: ones that are broken. Y'all are the ones that are
30:00
Speaker 3: constantly bleeding population as well. Right, Like, we know that
30:04
Speaker 3: these small states, like people are moving to the big cities,
30:08
Speaker 3: which tend to be in the bluer states, right where
30:11
Speaker 3: there are more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she
30:15
Speaker 3: now wants to want to take it outside because they
30:17
Speaker 3: going through all of that. No, she she just wants
30:21
Speaker 3: to try to elevate her name and her status. So
30:25
Speaker 3: she's allegedly talking about running for governor. Don't do it.
30:30
Speaker 3: Don't do it, South Carolina. But if you look into her,
30:34
Speaker 3: like she says so much staff that has resigned, she
30:37
Speaker 3: is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when
30:41
Speaker 3: it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well,
30:46
Speaker 3: i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing,
30:51
Speaker 3: she was talking about quote unquote dicks with or chicks
30:54
Speaker 3: with correct. Yeah, so she was doing like all that
30:58
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So she constantly like throws the word
31:01
Speaker 3: around and committee and that kind of thing. But she's
31:04
Speaker 3: also been accused of talking to staff about her sex
31:07
Speaker 3: life and making them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff
31:11
Speaker 3: resign alleging that she is very inappropriate.
31:16
Speaker 1: She did just say she was a victim of rape
31:18
Speaker 1: and sexual abuse.
31:18
Speaker 3: He also did that with a lot of protections. So
31:22
Speaker 3: people don't know that if you go on the house floor,
31:24
Speaker 3: you can pretty much say anything and people can't suit you.
31:27
Speaker 3: It's the debate clause. Yeah, the the oh, I forget
31:31
Speaker 3: the other part of it. But anyway, what do you
31:33
Speaker 3: mean speech and debate? Speech and debate clause means that
31:37
Speaker 3: when you are in the chamber and you're on the
31:39
Speaker 3: floor and you say certain things, I can say something
31:43
Speaker 3: defamatory and I can't be sued.
31:45
Speaker 1: Oh.
31:46
Speaker 3: So the theory is this is that she decided, now
31:51
Speaker 3: that she's getting ready for this gubernatorial she decided to
31:56
Speaker 3: kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going
32:00
Speaker 3: onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two,
32:04
Speaker 3: but three men of sexually abusing her and recording it
32:10
Speaker 3: and drugging her. So the thought is that maybe there's
32:13
Speaker 3: a sex safe that's about to come out, and so
32:16
Speaker 3: if she went on the floor, they can't do anything
32:19
Speaker 3: about it. Now she's not filed charges against any of them.
32:22
Speaker 3: She just went on the floor, made these accusations, but
32:26
Speaker 3: did not go and file a case against anybody. Now
32:30
Speaker 3: she files a case against somebody and she's found to
32:33
Speaker 3: be lying, that is a crime. But she could go
32:36
Speaker 3: on the floor and accuse them of whatever and they
32:39
Speaker 3: can't sue her. So interesting place to go and report, most.
32:46
Speaker 1: Jasmine somebody else?
32:54
Speaker 5: Is it true to somebody else that works for another
32:57
Speaker 5: sitting member? They had call than that they bet they
33:01
Speaker 5: was betting on a fight.
33:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they wanted to see it like that. I
33:04
Speaker 3: don't know who it was, but we have Capitol police.
33:09
Speaker 3: We have the Capitol police following up on that because
33:11
Speaker 3: they called during working hours on a house phone and
33:16
Speaker 3: they were so smart that they didn't realize that all
33:19
Speaker 3: calls made on house phones are recorded, so it is recorded.
33:23
Speaker 3: We know which member's office it came from. It was
33:26
Speaker 3: a Republican out of Texas whose office it came from.
33:32
Speaker 3: And they they yeah, so they called my office and
33:36
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this is what we want to see.
33:38
Speaker 3: Blah blah, blah blah blah. We're trying to place a bet.
33:40
Speaker 3: Some random staffer called my office. It's the audacity for
33:45
Speaker 3: I can see why.
33:46
Speaker 1: They would want to see it, But this is what
33:47
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
33:48
Speaker 4: Right, Do you think that Congress could get more done
33:50
Speaker 4: if y'all actually did their hands every now? Andy, No,
33:53
Speaker 4: just real quick, real quick, thirty seconds then get it out.
33:57
Speaker 1: No.
34:00
Speaker 4: I do want to ask you this guy. I know
34:01
Speaker 4: you got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck
34:04
Speaker 4: Schuman and Hakim Jefferies. They all represent the old way
34:07
Speaker 4: of doing things that don't work anymore? People like yourself, AOC,
34:11
Speaker 4: y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message.
34:13
Speaker 4: Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party?
34:16
Speaker 4: What are they holding on to? I know their positions,
34:18
Speaker 4: but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people,
34:21
Speaker 4: why are they the ones that are out front but
34:23
Speaker 4: not y'all?
34:24
Speaker 3: What do you mean outfront? I think that I think
34:27
Speaker 3: you're you're referencing myself and AOC because we have been
34:31
Speaker 3: out front.
34:32
Speaker 4: No, definitely, But when they talk about actual democratic leadership
34:35
Speaker 4: and who the leaders are, always always point to them
34:38
Speaker 4: because of the position that they're in.
34:39
Speaker 1: But to me, that's just the position.
34:41
Speaker 3: I get it. And and both of us ran for
34:44
Speaker 3: leadership positions and we were rejected by our but.
34:48
Speaker 4: That's because of those that's because of those people who
34:51
Speaker 4: represent an old way of doing things.
34:53
Speaker 3: I get it.
34:53
Speaker 4: If they open their eyes and actually see what's going
34:55
Speaker 4: on in the world and who's connecting, who can lead
34:58
Speaker 4: us into the next generation.
34:59
Speaker 1: Clearly it should be you. When people like AOC and leadership,
35:02
Speaker 1: I get it.
35:02
Speaker 3: I will say that Hakim decided that I can't speak
35:05
Speaker 3: for the Senate because I don't know what all was
35:07
Speaker 3: going on over there. But Hakim decided to start a
35:10
Speaker 3: rapid Response team, which is something that I proposed when
35:12
Speaker 3: I was running to become our communications director, and so
35:18
Speaker 3: I am a part of that rapid Response team, and
35:21
Speaker 3: so it's just now starting to kind of take shape.
35:24
Speaker 3: And so basically my job is to officially kind of
35:27
Speaker 3: get out there and do some videos. I'm really supposed
35:30
Speaker 3: to do some lives with some other people that are
35:33
Speaker 3: on that rapid Response team, so that like when things
35:36
Speaker 3: happen in real time, we're responding. But another thing, I mean,
35:40
Speaker 3: there's just a lot that we could be doing. And
35:41
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive, right
35:45
Speaker 3: because I.
35:46
Speaker 1: Think them, well, the need to get more aggressive.
35:50
Speaker 3: Well I'll say, well, well, I'll say, is that like,
35:55
Speaker 3: for instance, you know, there's been this kind of attitude
35:59
Speaker 3: of we can't deal with all the stuff that he
36:01
Speaker 3: got coming out, like we're not gonna be able to
36:03
Speaker 3: And I get that to a certain extent, but I
36:06
Speaker 3: do think that at a very minimum, it provides some
36:09
Speaker 3: semblance of comfort and confidence for the American people when
36:13
Speaker 3: they see us pushing back every single day. Yes, sure,
36:15
Speaker 3: and it may not be every single thing that he
36:18
Speaker 3: does in a day, but pushing back on like the
36:21
Speaker 3: thing of the day, right, Like we literally need to
36:23
Speaker 3: be like, okay, so this is the dumb thing for
36:26
Speaker 3: the day, right, Like just so a little even if
36:28
Speaker 3: it's five minutes, like this is the big one for
36:31
Speaker 3: the day, right, and we go after it. And so
36:34
Speaker 3: I think that we do have to get more aggressive
36:35
Speaker 3: and decide every single day like this is just what
36:38
Speaker 3: it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all
36:40
Speaker 3: had it good last term. I know y'all thought y'all didn't,
36:43
Speaker 3: but I'm like, we actually now have to work ten
36:46
Speaker 3: times harder than we did before, because we've got to
36:49
Speaker 3: make sure people understand how bad these policies are and
36:52
Speaker 3: what's happening. If we don't communicate it in real time,
36:56
Speaker 3: then we're doomed. That was the problem even when we
36:59
Speaker 3: were trying to get the White House back, is that
37:01
Speaker 3: we did not communicate in real time the good things
37:03
Speaker 3: we were doing. Now they're like, oh, wait a minute,
37:06
Speaker 3: those wait minutes. So the overdraft fees, that was Joe
37:09
Speaker 3: Biden that reduced it so it wasn't more than five
37:12
Speaker 3: dollars per overdraft. And now the Republicans have filed a
37:16
Speaker 3: bill saying, you know what, we want those overdraft fees
37:19
Speaker 3: to go back up, because again they're looking out for
37:22
Speaker 3: the rich people, not the people who was struggling. Who
37:25
Speaker 3: has overdraftees? Is it the rich people or is the
37:28
Speaker 3: people live in check to check? So the people they
37:31
Speaker 3: kept saying, oh, no, he's for the middle class. No
37:33
Speaker 3: he's not, No he's not. And they tried to convince
37:35
Speaker 3: you that the Democrats had done nothing, but they had.
37:38
Speaker 3: They had consistently done things for the middle class. It's
37:41
Speaker 3: just that. And so when even when Democrats are like, oh,
37:43
Speaker 3: we're not the party of the middle class anymore. Yes
37:46
Speaker 3: we are. Our policies are clear because overdraft fees, that's
37:49
Speaker 3: not for rich people. But now it is about to
37:52
Speaker 3: be for rich people. You know why because again we're
37:55
Speaker 3: seeing a government that wants to prey on those that
37:58
Speaker 3: are struggling so that others at the top can benefit
38:02
Speaker 3: to some ridiculous amount of money. And that's what we're
38:05
Speaker 3: about to go through. So I'm just like, listen, if
38:07
Speaker 3: you were broke and thought he was your guy, well
38:09
Speaker 3: God bless you.
38:10
Speaker 1: All right, Jeffers can never talk like that.
38:12
Speaker 4: I just want you to know that you can never
38:14
Speaker 4: speak to you know that.
38:17
Speaker 2: Thank you, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. We appreciate, appreciate, thank you
38:21
Speaker 2: so much. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Wake that
38:24
Speaker 2: ass up in the morning.
38:26
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club.
