  Speaker 1: just get into the conversation for tonight, anyone that knows,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: before I start a show, I always do my mental
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: health check-in. Because I need to make sure y'all good.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people aren't feeling good today,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but that's not my problem. No, I'm just teasing. That's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a joke. Ha ha, that's a funny, that's a joke.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: For real. No, because you know, like I tell y'all,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: y'all mental health really does matter to me. Um, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get on. I wanted to check
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in with everybody. Hey, baby, let me tell you something.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I had to eat down with this blue today. So, um,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: let me tell you. So I logged into work today. Right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So I had to get on a camera. So my
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: soup was like, I understand. Like, she already understood the assignment. Like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't even have to say anything because I was
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: already in my blue. I was ready. Man, let me
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: tell you something. When I went to the polls last
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: night to go vote, it was that line, literally, y'all, was,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and this is no exaggeration, that line, y'all, was like
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to the middle of the street. People, they were like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: here's your number because it was so many people that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: came out and voted last night. But the black women
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that I saw last night, and when I tell you,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I am not exaggerating. When I say I know it
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was over 500, maybe more than that in the line
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: last night. So I was standing in between a Hispanic
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: lady and a black lady. So we were talking and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the black lady said, I haven't voted since Obama. She'll say,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you know, and I realized how important it is for
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: us as, you know, as Black Americans to get out
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: here and vote. So I was like, yeah, I say,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I vote every time the election rolls around.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I say, but it's been, you know, whatever. So she said,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I had to come out and I had to make
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: my voice heard. She said, because we as Black people
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: have been taught that our voices don't matter. And so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Hispanic lady that was standing in front of me,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: she turned around and, you know, of course me and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the black lady were talking and, you know, me and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the black lady just kind of look, but the Hispanic lady,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: she said, I have voted red my entire life, but
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: tonight I vote blue. So I asked, I was like,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know what, you know, I was like, okay, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that was a good thing. She said, Her family, her
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: parents were farmers in Mexico. And so her parents came
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: over to the States. I want to say she said
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: maybe like 30 years ago, but they were farmers and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they came over to the States because they wanted a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: better life for her. So she was born here in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the United States. And she said, you know, but we've
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: always voted red. You know, we've always been Republican. She say,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but tonight I have to I have to go blue.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And she said, I lost family members to ICE. Not
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: like they passed away, but she was saying like ICE
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: came in and picked them up and deported her family members.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And I said, you know me, y'all know I'm petty.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And I say, well, if you knew, I say, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump told you what he was going to do.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: She said, yeah, but you know, politicians, they talk. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I say, but this man delivered. I said, he told
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: y'all the first day in office, He was going to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be deporting y'all. What part of that did you not believe?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: She said, you know, I'm going to take that. She said,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take that. She said, I should have
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: followed my first mind. She said, I never should have voted.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: She said, but everything just sounded so good. So I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: telling y'all this to say, go with what you believe in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You understand? Politicians are going to say anything to get
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: your vote. But do your due diligence first. And really
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: research who you're voting for. You understand? Because just because
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: they say they're for you, don't mean they're really truly
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm just like, today is just, man, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: woke up and life was just, man, Texas really flipped
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the blue. Texas hadn't been blue since the late 80s,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: early 90s, when we had when governor Ann Richards was,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: was still alive. That's amazing. So thank you. Let, let me,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: let me say this because y'all know I I'm never
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: lost for words, but today was, it is just to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: my black women. Y'all know I love y'all. Y'all know
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I rock with y'all. Y'all know I move heaven and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: earth for y'all. But to the 90, I want to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: say it was 96%, black women voted Democrat. They voted Democratic.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So I say to my black women, I love you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I love you. To my black men, that came and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: showed out and voted. I believe they were 90%, 88%
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: were African American, Black American men. Thank you, brother. Let
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. You Black men, y'all never cease
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to freaking amaze me. Everything that y'all do, Black men,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: y'all do with intent. Y'all are intentional. Shout out to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: The generation, our children, that went to the polls because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they wanted change. There was someone that commented on my
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: post today. And I said, I'm going to tell you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: exactly what I posted on Facebook. I said, hold up,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: give me a minute, let me pull it up. Y'all
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: bear with me, I'm coming. So. I posted and said,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: hold on, y'all. Hold tight. I'm trying to get it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Everything just is moving so slow. So I made a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: post today. And I said, so let me get this straight.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: When it was read across the board, we were told
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to get over it. Y'all remember that? Y'all remember when
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate? Remember when
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump won? They were like, oh, y'all got to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: get over it. Oh, they were just in la-la land.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But now that we have had a blue tsunami, now
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's let's all get along. Jesus is the king of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: my household. I'm going to keep doing this. I'm going
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to keep doing that. Because I want to say this
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to you red hats, okay? And y'all know I don't
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: mind shaking the table. Y'all know I don't mind offending nobody.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I want you to keep that same energy that y'all
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: had for us when we were complaining when everything was red.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Stand on that. I want y'all to get over it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You understand? Because it's blue. We had states that hadn't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: been blue in years. Kansas, I want to say it's been,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: how many years? I want to say they said it
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: was like 90 something years since Kansas had been blue.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: North Carolina flipped blue. Texas, Blue. Bye-bye, Abby. Bye-bye, Paxton.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And absolutely, get the hell out of here, Dan Patrick.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Gina Hinojosa. Let me say this to Gina Hinojosa, James Tallarico.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: We watching y'all. We watching y'all. So everything that you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: say you're going to do, you better stand on it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Because truthfully, if it weren't for black Americans, y'all wouldn't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be in the seat you're in right now. That's not
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to say the other races didn't come out and vote.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But the black Americans had the largest turnout. Mississippi, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: watching you. Gone and turned blue for Nolan Wells. Louisiana,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm absolutely... You know what? It's not surprising to me.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's not surprising to me with Louisiana because y'all are...
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: As much as I love the city, the state, y'all
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: are going to forever be at the bottom. Y'all don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: want change. But shout out to St. Bernard Parish and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Jefferson Parish. And I believe... Hold on, y'all. Let me
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: figure this one out. I know it's another parish that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: had the highest Democratic votes. I should have had it
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pulled up, y'all. Forgive me. I should have had it
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all ready together. But I want to say shout out
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to everybody that voted blue. Most importantly... I want to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: say thank you to Stacey Abrams of Atlanta, Georgia. Because
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: if it weren't for you, Miss Abrams, Keisha Lance Bottoms
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: would not be the first black female governor of Texas.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, of Georgia. I'm so sorry. Keisha Lance Bottoms,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: let me say this, and I'm going to get emotional
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: when I say this. You have showed every little black
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: girl and every black woman that has a dream that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: anything is possible. Even me. So to the state of Georgia,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: thank y'all. Thank you, Stacey Abrams, for crawling so Keisha
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Lance Bottoms could walk. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm so emotional
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because this is a monumental thing for Black America. You understand?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Black women have always been told we can never be
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in leadership roles. You understand? We've always been told that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Keisha Lance Bottoms showed y'all that she could overcome the odds.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And she proved that last night by becoming the first
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: female governor of Georgia. She showed us that. She absolutely
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: did that. When I tell you, history was made last night.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Y'all gotta forgive me. Y'all, I get so emotional when
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I see the things that we do how monumental we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: do things, and how we are now starting to move
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with intent. Y'all know I can't see. I got to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: put these glasses on. But we showed out last night.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: We pulled up to the polls. Kay said they needed 90,000 votes. Hey, cousin.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Kalaya says, You're welcome, sis. Let it out. I mean,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just I don't think y'all understand. That's a big seat
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to fill. And a black woman was given that seat.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: The fact that the Democrats will now control the House
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and the Senate. I'm hoping for the change. Somebody made
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a post and says, do y'all believe in politics or God? Both.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: God is always going to be the head of my household.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: So let me say that. But we did it. Black
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Americans have always made things happen. We're the most disrespected.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But you always expect us to show up. So let
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: me say this. The black Americans, we showed up and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: we did exactly what America wanted us to do. Now
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm back on Do Not Disturb. I'll see y'all in
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the next two years. Don't ask me for nothing because
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I ain't got nothing for you. We helped flip states
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that had never been blue. We helped flip them blue.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So don't ask us for nothing else, okay? And I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: mean that wholeheartedly. Don't ask us for nothing else. Because
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: we did our part. But the sad part about all
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of this, what makes me so sad, is y'all love
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: us when you need us, but then you turn around
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and you spit on our face the next five minutes.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Y'all couldn't have done it without us. So if we're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: going to keep it a buck around here, y'all could
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: not have done... These states would not have flipped blue
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: without the black Americans. And then I've been seeing all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the videos where they say, oh, thank you. Thank you,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: black Americans. A lot of things that y'all haven't been
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: because of us. If we're going to keep it a bucket,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk real true history. Our blood, sweat
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and tears have gotten a lot of races where they
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: are today. And you can argue with me all day,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: but you can't argue with history. You can't argue with
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the facts. But we did amazing. You understand? We did amazing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Black people, we did amazing. I want y'all to give
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: yourself a round of applause. Give yourself a round of applause.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Because we did that. Hey, mama. I tried to call you.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: But call me tomorrow. Call me after six. But we
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: did that. We absolutely did that. And I'm so proud
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of us. We showed up. We showed out. We made history.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: We showed the world that our voices do matter. So
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: everybody say, oh, our votes, oh, our voices don't matter.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Look at last night. California has their first Hispanic governor.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: We have our first Hispanic woman governor. I'm just, I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: don't even think y'all even understand the way I'm feeling
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in this moment right now, because I'm so proud of Texas.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of Texas. Shout out to Texas Southern
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: University for marching to the polls Shout out to the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: seven wall. Shout out to the night water, New Orleans.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody, man. Shout out to North Carolina.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Shout out to South Carolina, Kansas, New Mexico, man. They
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: got their first native American official. Like it is. I'm
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: stumbling over words and y'all know I've never been lost
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: for words, but I'm just, Man, I'm jumping for joy, man.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: When I tell you, I've been crying and laughing all day.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I've been looking at the memes and I've been looking
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: at the post and, you know, I've been celebrating today
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to continue to celebrate because we did it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: What Kamala Harris say, we did it, Joe. We did it, Texas.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: We did it, Georgia. We did it, New Hampshire. Let
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: me pull this up. Because I want to make sure
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm telling y'all all the states that flip blue.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Hold on. I promise. I want to make sure that
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I am accurate in everything that I say. Because I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: don't want y'all going back saying, that's not true. That's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: not right. You not saying. So I want to make
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: sure I'm accurate. All right. So. All right. So you have.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: All right, I got it pulled up. I should have
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: had it. All right, so California was already blue. We
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: knew that already. So this is the legislative party control
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: after the 2026 elections. So you have Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. and Hawaii. Man, man, man, man, man.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I believe Arizona has yet to be called. Let's see.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Let me go back. All right. So, I'm trying to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: go back and get everything. I had it pulled up
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: with y'all. I don't know what. I just closed that screen.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we did it. It was a blue tsunami
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for us to regain control of the Senate and the House.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And I want to say it's been, what did they say,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: four years, six years, something like that. We got it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: But then I also want you to know that there's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a flip side to that because anyone knows that Trump's
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: big ugly bill, or as the others call it, the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: big beautiful bill, will go into effect in January after
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: everyone is sworn in. So my biggest fear is when
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: healthcare is cut. Gas prices drop. they're going to find
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a way to blame it on the Democrats. So I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: hope a lot of y'all took that in consideration when
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: you went to the polls last night. That that big
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: ugly bill is going to affect our elders, your parents,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: your grandparents, with Medicare. But again, y'all didn't want It's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a flip. Education. We need lower gas prices. We need
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: lower food prices. You have people that are working four
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: or five jobs just to make ends meet. But this
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: is what your president did. Your president did all of this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: It has exposed a lot of underlying racism that was
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: already there. He made it okay. And y'all were okay
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: with that? Not you Jesus Christian people. Y'all okay with that?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But y'all want us to all get along, right? That's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: what y'all are saying. I've seen quite a few posts
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of people saying, oh, we need to get along.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Uh-uh.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Not the one that be calling us niggas. You know what,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: let me correct it. Not the one that be calling
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: us niggers with a hard ER. Not the ones that
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: keep telling us to go back to where we came from.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Your president allowed you to do just that, made you
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: real confident in that. So you can't say you want
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it one way and not the other. Which one are
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you going to do? You're going to be racist or not?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I had someone message me today and tell me, oh,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you must be racist. Let me tell you something. Not racist.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But because I'm pro-black doesn't mean I'm anti-white. And I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: say that all the time. So the people that All
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you crawl from up under your rock
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and you want to start commenting on things because you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: don't agree with what I say. Stay up under your rock.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Because I'm going to stand on big bins with everything
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that I have to say. I'm not going to change
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: my delivery. I'm not going to change how I feel.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to change how I see it. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: like you're not going to change the way you are.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to change the way that I am.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: If we're going to be fair, be fair across the board. Period.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it was a blue tsunami last night, and
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I am absolutely ecstatic about it. Again, to my black
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: men and my black women, man, I'm so proud of y'all.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I love y'all so much. But again, we're going back
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: on Do Not Disturb, so don't bother us. Okay, I'm
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: letting y'all know. Don't come in bothering us. Don't come
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: in asking for no favors. Don't ask us for nothing, because, babe,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: we did exactly what was supposed to be done, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: now we're going back in the house. We'll see y'all
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: in two years. Okay? It's cooling off. We finna watch
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: us some movies. What my son say? We on Netflix
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and chill. That's what we doing for the next two years.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So we'll see y'all later. But no, man. Happy Wednesday, everybody.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Let me back up and say that. Happy Wednesday. Today
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is an amazing day. I woke up, the birds were chirping.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Coffee was smelling lovely today. Breakfast, everything. because we made
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a difference. This is why I get on this platform
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and I tell y'all, be loud with what you do.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Be intentional with what you do. Because guess what? Being
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: quiet and timid got us nowhere. But we allow them,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: we let them hear us. We let them know that
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: we are tired of being under this MAGA regime. We're
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: tired of being under that. We won't change. Here in Texas,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: we were tired of Gregory Abbott. We were tired of
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: him and how you close schools and this voucher program.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: We were tired of that. Mike Moran, I cannot wait
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: till Gina Hinojosa gets into that position because she has
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: already said you are going to be the first one
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to go And Gina Hinojosa, let me tell you, girl,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I want my $ 1, 500. Okay, you say we getting $ 1, 500.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I want it. But most importantly, my concern is the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: education for these children. So I pray for Harris County,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: which is one of the fourth largest counties in the world.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I pray for Harris County. I pray that Gina Hinojosa
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: does what she says she's going to do regarding the education.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Because those children are being deprived Of knowledge. Tallarico. Now look.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Now we got rid of Paxton. Now Tallarico it's on you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It's definitely on you my boy. And Vicky Goodwin. Go
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: ahead and legalize marijuana in Texas. You understand. I don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: know why y'all won't go ahead and legalize it. Let
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: me tell y'all. That marijuana helps me. With my chronic pain.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Because I don't like taking these pills. That baby they didn't.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's a whole conversation for a different day, y'all. But
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be the change that we want to see. You understand?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Stand on what you say you're going to do for us.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And that goes for the other states. Keisha Lance Bottoms,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I pray that you do right in Georgia. That's not
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to say she's not. So before people jump off their
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: high horse and be like, oh, don't you be talking.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I pray that she does what she says she's going
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to do. Abdul Syed, I'm so happy for Michigan. But
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: do what you're going to say for Michigan. New Hampshire,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, North Carolina, the House, the Senate. Please push
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: us in the right direction. You understand? Make good on
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: your words. Because right now, we are in the reign
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: of terror. And now they are running amok in that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: White House. I can tell you right now, it's going
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to be a lot of people that are going to
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: be flipping. It's going to be a lot of talking,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of snitching, as they say. It's going to
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be a lot of that. It's about to be some
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: things that are going to come out that is going
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: to flip our wigs backwards. You understand? But all I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: want to do is see Donald Trump get impeached. Because
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you have run this country into the ground over a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: vendetta because you're upset about something. Because you couldn't get
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: your way. Because you're throwing temper tantrums. No. We want positivity.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We want beautiful things to happen. We really truly want
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: America to be great. But then again, when is it ever?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But hey, that's a whole different conversation for a different day.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But I want to see that. Education. I definitely want
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to see that. for my children, for my friends' children,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for all the children in the world. I want to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: see education. I want to see those children be able
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to go to college and not have to worry about
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: paying thousands and thousands of dollars in student loan debt back.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. I want to see assistance,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: whether it's food stamps, whether it's Medicaid, whether it's WIC,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I want to see that go to the people that
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: really truly need it. I want gas prices to go down.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Especially for our truck drivers. You understand? They're the ones
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that deliver the things that are essential. essential to our household.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you want the gas price to go down?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Because if gas prices are high and they can't afford
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the gas, then we then we lose. We lose out
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: on our essentials, the food, the water, you know, our
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: hygiene products, things of that nature. That's imperative to us.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So we need that. I just want to see a difference.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I really truly want to see change. I really truly
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: want to get up and say, you know what? The
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: leaders stood on what they said they were going to do.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. We did it. Now
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: all we got to do is get Trump out of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: there I want the Epstein files released. They releasing everything
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: but the Epstein files. You understand? They ain't release no money.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I want the Epstein files released. We need to know.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And not the redacted ones. I want to see the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: entire files. I want to see stricter gun laws. I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: definitely want to see that. Too many school shootings happening.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I want to see God, there's so many things that
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I want to see. I want the water in. I do.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Because what are we fighting for? But really what I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: want y'all to fight for is eliminate them student debts.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, them student loans, man. Come on. Get rid
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of that. Y'all got enough money to do all of that?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: If y'all giving money to Trump to build a ballroom
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in the White House, man, y'all could eliminate student loan debt.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm speaking that into existence. Come on, God.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: From my mouth to God's ears. From my lips to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: God's ears. Go ahead and eliminate student loan debt. Because baby,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: we struggling over here. We got to get rid of that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: We got to get rid of the debt. But I mean,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: just a lot of things I want to see different
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: in the world. A lot of things. And I know
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: it's not going to happen overnight. So everybody's saying, oh,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: they're this and that and that. But we'll see. Now
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that we have the House and the Senate, maybe we
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: won't have such a difficult time trying to get things passed.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I like that Texas, I don't remember the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: proposition number, but they passed no more no-knock warrants. They
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: have taken marijuana possession charges to low level. That passed.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: That passed. Because, come on, let's be realistic. You have
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: pedophiles and murderers that get less time than somebody caught
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: with a little dime or ounce of marijuana. Is that fair?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: How does the pedophile get 18 months in a state jail,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: but you have a little dime bag of marijuana, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: that's five, six, eight, nine, ten years?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: What?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Make that make sense to me. Show me how the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: math is mathing on that. Show me how murderers are
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: getting bonds for someone that has a pound or a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: half a pound or a quarter ounce of marijuana. They
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: get 10, 15 years. Murderers getting sentenced to five years
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: with four years suspended. Like, let's really truly make this
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: make sense. That's the change I want to see. Definitely
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: affordable health care for the elder. And I know I
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: said it a minute ago, but I do. And I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: say that because I work in health care and I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: work with Medicare patients. And to hear the things that
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: they say is disheartening to me. Why are you at
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: 85 years old still working? Why are you not enjoying
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: your golden years? You want to know why? I remember
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a few months ago, before I went out on medical leave,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I had a member tell me, she said, yeah, I look,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you know, she was 86, 87 years old. She had
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: just retired. And I say, oh, you must have enjoyed teaching.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: She said, no, I didn't work because I liked it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I worked because I had to. This is an 80-something-year-old
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: woman telling me this. Y'all don't find it disheartening to me?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: You don't think that one day your Lord allows you
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: to get old? You want this to be this way
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: for you? You want this to be this way for
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: your parents? You want it to be where your parents
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: can't afford their medications? Why not flip? You don't want
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to see our children have a better education? I don't understand.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Why are we paying thousands and thousands of dollars to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: go to school to get a degree that we can't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: even use? Why was it over a hundred something thousand
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: black women that were laid off this year? Let's have
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a real true discussion. See, some of y'all make posts
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: based off of what you hear. I'm telling you what
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: has happened. Over 100,000 black women lost jobs today. I mean,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: not today, but this year. Since Trump has been in office, absolutely.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You have men and women that are robbing and stealing
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and scamming. just to make ends meet. You got mothers
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and fathers that are working four and five jobs just
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to put food on the table, just to keep their
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: house afloat. Why are these property tax rates so high?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Why is the middle class and the lower class supporting
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the rich? Why are they not being taxed like we are?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So again, a lot of y'all not ready to have
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: this real conversation. A lot of y'all are just saying, oh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I like Donald Trump because of this. But look at
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has done to the world. Taxpayers' money
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: went to fund an unnecessary war. We got a homeless
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: problem over here. California has the largest homeless population. You understand?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: But you want to build a ballroom. But you don't
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: want to get these homeless people off the street. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about in California, Texas, everywhere. We
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: have a homeless problem over here. We have a food
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: shortage problem. When have you known in all the years
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that you've been on this earth, how many food recalls
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: this year? And the year is not even over. Farmers
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: are being affected. So guess what? We can't get no vegetables.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Animals are being, what's the word? Y'all, my train of
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: thought just went out. Baby, that's that menopause brain. But
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: animals getting sick. Meat being contaminated. All these recalls. You
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: know it's bad when there's a recall on cinnamon. Cinnamon, y'all. Cinnamon. Absolutely.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: My cousin says they need to lower the housing market
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: so we can help the homeless. Absolutely. But they're not
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: concerned about that. They're concerned about the rich keep getting
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: rich while we stay poor. While we have to sit
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and we have to struggle. You understand? Who wants at
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: eight or something years old to still be working? Unless
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that's something you enjoy doing. Let me say that. Who
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: wants to do that? When I get 70 something years old,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to retire and enjoy my children.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: And maybe if my children have children, my grandbabies. That's
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: what I want to enjoy. I don't want to spend
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: my entire life trying to rob Peter to pay Paul.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want to work. I don't want to be
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: working at 80 something years old. Medication prices going up. Again,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I work with Medicare patients. And I hear the things
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: that Medicare patients say to me. I got to work
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: because I can't afford my medication. If I don't have
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: this medication, I might die. And y'all not concerned about that? Like,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: come on, America. Like, wake up. Okay. Okay. So y'all
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: don't like the Democrats. We don't like the Republicans. Okay,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: we got one thing in common. But the common goal
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is to make America really true. great. Y'all keep saying, oh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: but Trump say he's going to do this. He is
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: literally single-handedly ran America into the ground along with his minions.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: You put people in positions that have no clue of
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: what to do. You got Robert F. Kennedy telling people,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: That Tylenol causes autism. Are you serious? You couldn't even
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: pronounce acetaminophen. You couldn't even pronounce it. So how dare
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you say this is this and this. You're not a
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: doctor and neither is he. You've lied to us. You
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: went and you pardoned the January Sixers. You're pardoning criminals
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: that really truly need to stay in prison. You're not
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: bringing any relief. Unemployment is at an all-time high. Y'all
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: keep saying, oh, unemployment's been the lowest it's ever been.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: It was low under the Biden-Harris administration. Unemployment was low.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Gas prices were low. Grocery prices were low. We go
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: to the grocery store. When has milk ever been six
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: or seven dollars a gallon? Milk. When has eggs been
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: five dollars a dozen? Let me say that. But y'all
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: believed everything that this man told y'all. This man spoon
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: fed y'all lies and y'all ate it up. Y'all keep
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: saying this needs to get passed. We couldn't do anything.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Because the Republicans had the Senate in the House and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: you knew they weren't going to let anything that a
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Democrat brought to the floor, you know they were not
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: going to let that pass. Why is it so expensive
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to live in an apartment? Why is a one-bedroom, let
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: me say this, why is a studio apartment $ 2, 000? And
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: that's being generous. Why are we paying mortgage prices for
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: two and three bedroom apartments? The only good thing they
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: did do was they lowered the credit score so you
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: can get a house. You got to have a 620
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: credit score now. We have got to start helping the
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: people here at home. We've got to stop causing unnecessary debt.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: And that's what's been going on. Unnecessary debt. When that
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: money could be ciphered back to us. You understand? It
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: could be right back here to us. But y'all don't
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: want that. Y'all are hanging on to every thread of
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: BS that Donald Trump feeds y'all every day. They running now.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of things are about to be exposed. So
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: we'll see how y'all feel then after January. I pray again.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: God's going to work it out. But I pray the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: people that he put in the positions to make the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: change stand on everything that they say. Because we're tired
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: of the lies. We're tired of the BS. We're tired
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of the foolishness. We're tired. which is a big reason
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: why a lot of people turned out and they voted
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the midterms. They said we couldn't flip these states, but
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: we did. We showed them change is possible if we
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: all come together. We showed them that. We pulled up.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: We let y'all know we're not going. We let y'all
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: know we want the change. We let y'all know this
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: is how it's going to be. The young generation, the mid-generation,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the older generation. I was looking at a couple on TikTok.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: They were in their 80s in Georgia, hadn't voted. And
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: they voted for the first time for Keisha Lance Bottoms
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: to be governor. That touched my heart. Because I said change. Change. Change.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: It's time to look at something different. It's time for
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: us to turn the page. It's time for us to
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: start writing a new story, a new chapter. But don't
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: get it twisted. We did what we were supposed to do.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Now we're going back in the house for the next
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: two years. We're going back in the house. We showed
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: up at the polls. We did exactly what we were
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: supposed to do. Now, guess what? Now we're back on
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: do not disturb. Don't bother me. I'm going to say
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: it again. Don't bother us. Don't ask us for nothing.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: We ain't got no money for y'all. We did what
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: we were supposed to do. We did. And it's amazing.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: To my black men and my black women, man, I just,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I have to thank y'all again. I have to tell
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: y'all that I love y'all. I have to tell y'all
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: that I appreciate y'all. to see all those beautiful people
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: standing in line last night at the polls, listening to
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: people talk. It was a couple of people that started singing.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is awesome. One lady cried. She
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: brought her daughter. Her daughter voted for the first time.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Her daughter had just turned 18 in September, so she
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: was able to vote. And she cried. She said, it's
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: my daughter's first time voting. She's saying, we're so excited.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't ask who she was voting for. I didn't ask.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I did not ask. But it was just beautiful to
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: see our children out there voting. It was wonderful to
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: see grandparents with their grandchildren voting. I want to say,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: like I say, the Hispanic lady that was in front
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: of me that was telling me that she had had
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: been voting red her entire life. And tonight, you know,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and last night she said she was voting blue. She said,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: because I want to be a part of the change.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And man, when I tell y'all that just, that just
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: did something to my heart because I'm like, we could
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: have been did this. We could have been the change.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: We could have been, but it's better. Let me say
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: it's better late than never. It's never too late for change.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And we show just that. Now you see when I
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: say we're stronger in numbers, we're stronger in numbers. I
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: want to say they said the first night, and I
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: may be wrong, but I want to say they said
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: the day one of early elections, I want to say
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: it was 100,000 people that voted the first day. And
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong. The number might be wrong. But
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I know they said it was a lot of people
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the very first day early voting opened up. So we
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: did it. Some of y'all may not be happy with
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: the decision. That's okay too. We weren't happy with that
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: decision almost two years ago. But here we are. Don't
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: tell us to get over it if you haven't. Or
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: if you're not willing to. Because what's good for the
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: goose has to always be good for the gander. It
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: has to be. But shout out to everybody that is
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: tuning in tonight. I just want to say thank y'all
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: so much for coming and supporting Black Girl Interrupted Podcast. Man,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think y'all understand what that means to me.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing when we all come together and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: we can have a beautiful conversation without the disrespect. This
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: is again what happens when we all come together. Remember,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I tell y'all, we're stronger in numbers, and I say
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: that all the time. You want to make a difference,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you got to get out. You got to let your
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: voice be heard. Man, my cousin says in California, she
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: said there was more people voting this year than it
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: has been in the last few elections. Man, when I
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: tell you, when Becerra is, oh, I hope I said
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: his last name correctly, the new governor, it was so
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: many black and brown people That were crying. A lady
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: went live on TikTok last night. After they announced. I
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: love you. You know I love you. I love you
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: real big. But it was a lady. She went live
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: last night on TikTok. She was from LA. And she cried.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: She said. They always kept telling us that. Mexicans could
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: never be. And I'm like. They say the same thing
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: about black people. But look at this. You can't take
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: what God has instilled in us. You understand? You can't
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: take the leadership that God has implemented in us. So
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I say all that to say, let Keisha Lance bottoms.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me get the governor's name of California
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: because I want to make sure I say his name correctly. Um, Basara.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Xavier Basara.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: So, okay.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: So I said his last name correctly. But to see that,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: that was monumental. California, New Mexico, Georgia. Last night was monumental.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Last night count. It counted. Last night mattered. It mattered.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Your voice was heard. Your voice mattered. I will get
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: my vote sticker, but it's in the car. I should
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: have brought it in the house. But your voice mattered.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: No matter which way you voted, you were heard. Unfortunately,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the red wasn't loud enough. I'm so sorry. I had
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: to throw that little jab in my bed, y'all. But
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Thank y'all for going to the polls.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all for getting out there when early voting started,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: thank y'all for even coming to the polls last night.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Cause when I tell you, I know it was like
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: 500 some people out there last, I know it was,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: and this is no exaggeration. You understand? I, I was like,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I'm looking and it was like people, people. And then, um,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: so because I'm, I'm, I'm a little disabled, they kind
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: of let me move a little bit forward to the line.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: So that's why I was able to move, um, out
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: of the line as fast as I did. Um, but
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I saw people posting that say, They didn't leave the
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: polls till 10 o'clock last night. Because they were still,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: you know, people were in line at 7 o'clock. And
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: they weren't going to turn the people away. But it
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: was people that was at the polls till 9, 30,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: 10 o'clock last night still voting. So I was surprised
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: how fast the votes were coming in. I was like, whoa.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: But we did it. We did it. Not me. Not you.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: All of us. We did it. We made a difference.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: We made a change. We showed them. You're going to
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: hear us this time. And we did just that. You know, unfortunately,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: everybody can't win. But we did that. Hence the blue tonight.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just, my cousin says, I saw something
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: on Facebook saying that some people are bidding on how
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: long the house speaker is going to last because he's black.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: You talking about Hakeem Jeffries, baby. There's a whole, and
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: don't even get me started on him because, ooh child,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: don't even get me started on that one. Ooh, don't
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: get me started on Hakeem Jeffries because he, you know what,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: that's a different conversation for a different day. Cool, it
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: is what it is, but we did it. We did it.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I know Ann Richards, I know Governor Ann Richards is smiling,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: but I will say this. Thank you, Greg Abbott, for
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: your concession speech. Thank you for being mature in your concession.

  Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Even though you have single-handedly destroyed Texas,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for being professional when it came
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: to Gina Hinojosa. Shout out to Vicky Goodwin for getting

• 53:19
  Speaker 1: video pan out for you? You said you weren't legalizing
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: marijuana and if they didn't like it, they could vote
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: you out. Now that video has come back to bite
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: you in the behind because now you're gone. The only
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: other person we need to get rid of is Runaway Cruz.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: That's the only other person we need to get rid of.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Cause baby, that, that, again, that's a different conversation for
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a different day. We got to get rid of him.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: But goodbye to Paxton. Goodbye to Abbott. Goodbye to Patrick.
• 53:50

• 53:59
  Speaker 1: tell you something. And I said a big congratulations to St.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Bernard Parish, Jefferson Parish, what was the other parish that
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: he was real close in? Let me, let me see. Uh, Oh,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Um, I know it was Jefferson parish. I
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: know it was, uh, I'm trying to remember. I know
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: it was another, another parish, uh, that was in Baton Rouge.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: That was real close. Well, I'm with Jamie Davis. Um,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Oh God, I just cannot think of the other parish
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: because they listed them. Let me see. Uh, I'm going
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: to get it. Let me see.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe this is going to give me what I'm looking for,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: but I can't, I know, like I said, I know
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: it was Jefferson parish. Um, St. Bernard Parish.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: God, I just.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus. Come on now. There we go. I thought I
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: was going to be able to get the parishes up.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: The ones that voted. Man, let me tell you, I
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: cannot wait till we get rid of Ted Cruz. Runaway Cruz.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, sis, we got rid of Paxton, Patrick,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and Abbott. We just need to get rid of Cruz.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Colin Allred, too, for winning the 33rd district.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Colin Allred for that. He doesn't get
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: enough props, but I wanted to give him a shout
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: out as well. He's amazing. Would love to see him
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: in a higher position as well. But I just want
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: y'all to know that we're not going to stop until
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: we get all the way back to the top. And
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: we did that. Now the only thing we have to
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: do is now we have to keep these states blue.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: The ones that have flipped. And then the ones that
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: didn't flip, we knew Florida was not. We knew that.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: But we need to get Florida. We need to keep
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: pushing for Mississippi. Mississippi. Because, come on, Collin, I need
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: you because we got to get justice for Nolan Wells.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: You hear me? I need you. I need you, Collin.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: I really need him to win. So I really hope
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: they call it tonight. If not, maybe tomorrow. But I'm
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: really hoping Mississippi flips blue. But the sad part of
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: all of that is if Mississippi flips blue before Louisiana,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: then I know something is wrong. There's definitely going to
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: be a problem for me, y'all. But, hey, we made
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: it thus far. All right. But as I get ready
• 57:16

• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: let me say this. Shout out to the city of Pascagoula.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I think that was Pascagoula that marched and protested and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: demanded justice for Nolan Wells. Do not ever forget that name.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: You understand? Do not ever forget Nolan Wells. He deserves justice.

• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: is number two. Georgia's number three, Mississippi is number four.

• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: you understand, because my little businesses will be big businesses.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: And I am speaking that into existence again, from my
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: mouth to God's ears, he's going to make that happen
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: for me. Um, But I want to leave y'all with this.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Whatever your dreams, your goals, and aspirations are, do it.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Stop being scared. Do it. The worst anybody could say
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: to you is no. But remember, no matter how many
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: no's you get, there's going to be a yes that
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: comes in that. So whatever your goal is, whatever your
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: dream is, whatever your aspiration is, whether it's you're writing
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: a book, whether you're starting a business, I support you
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: a thousand percent I want to see you win. One
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: of the things about me, I will never gatekeep information.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: You understand? If there's any way that I can help anybody,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: hit me up. I don't have a problem. You understand?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: And I do it genuinely. I don't do it for monetary.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: And I tell y'all this all the time. I do
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: this because I love doing this. I do this because
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I have a passion for this. I do this because
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: I enjoy doing this. I don't care about money. And
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: I've said this before. I'm the most humble person you
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: will ever, ever, ever meet in your entire life. I
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: am so humbled and I am so grateful that God
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: continues to bless me. God keeps opening doors for me.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: So I share that with you. I encourage you. Step out.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: I don't care how many people told you no. God
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: is going to always tell you yes. You understand? He
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: may not tell you yes in that moment, but God
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: is going to tell you yes. What God has for you,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: man can't stop. No matter how many doors a man
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: tries to close, God is going to go right behind
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: him and reopen him for you. You understand? So you
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: step out on faith. Don't let anyone tell you or
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: detour you from your dreams because those are your dreams.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: You go out and you be freaking great. You hear me?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: You go and you be the best that you could
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: ever be. If you sell shoelaces, you be the best
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: shoelace seller ever. I don't care if you're just starting out.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're in the blueprint moment. I
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: want to see you win. Do you understand? Because there's
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: enough room at the table for everybody to eat. I'm
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: going to even feed my enemies. You understand? Because I'm
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: going to allow my enemies to keep being my footstool
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to get to where God has taken me. Can't nobody
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: take that away from me. This is my gift. So
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: I tell you, everybody is born with a gift. You
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: dig deep in your heart and you pull that gift out.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Who cares if somebody shoots you down over here? Somebody
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: here is going to like it. Stop worrying about the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: quantity of people and worry about the quality of your product.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: You understand? And that's where people fail because they're so
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: worried about, well, I don't have a lot of people. Okay,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: but the right people are going to gravitate towards you.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: The people that resonate with you are going to come
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: to you. You understand? God is going to show you
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: and reveal who's for you. You understand? And I want
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: y'all to always remember that. I always leave y'all with
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: something powerful. I always leave y'all with something encouraging because
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: like I told y'all, Keisha Lance Bottoms made it possible
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: for little black girls and black women's dreams to come true.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: You understand? Anything that we put our minds to black women,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: black boys, black girls, black men, we could do it.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Anything that we put our minds to, we could do it.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: And we're going to always be great at it. I
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: want you to remember that. I love y'all with everything
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: in me. I'm rooting for you. You understand we have
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: two months. We are a month and a half away
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: from 2027. Make it count, make it count. Whatever you
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: didn't get accomplished in 2026, you write it down and you,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: and you start over in 2027. But again, I tell
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: you what I said, every time you make sure you
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: have a plan A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: You understand? Because if plan A doesn't fall through, you
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: want to make sure you have plan B, plan C,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: plan D, and all of that above to fall back on.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: But I love you guys. God bless y'all. Happy Wednesday. Again,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: drink your water, take care of yourself, protect your peace,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: and don't forget to enforce those boundaries. You understand? And
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: be unapologetic in anything that you do. Hey, Malika, thank you, sweetheart.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Amen to you, sweetheart. Amen, amen, amen. And I look
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: forward to speaking with you on Sunday so we could
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: do some great things together. But on that note, I
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: love y'all so, so, so much. I hope everyone has
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing rest of the week. You understand? Remember
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: that blue wave just, I'm so sorry, that blue tsunami
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: just came through. We made a change. Our voices were heard.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: We did it big. And I say that to you.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Anything you do, you do it big. Do it real
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: big and be loud so they can hear you. I
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: love y'all. God bless y'all. And I'll see you Tuesday.
