  Speaker 1: to donald trump and MAGA republicans um if you're just
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: joining us on this planet yesterday was election day and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: america sent donald trump and the MAGA movement a message
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and that message is simple your services are no longer
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: needed okay democrats took back the house and the senate
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs for the democrats okay they won
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: senate races in places i never thought was possible All right. Texas,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, Kansas.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina. Can you imagine Texas, South Carolina, Kansas?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: I'm South Carolina born and raised. Eight, four, three all day.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: I campaigned for Jamie Harrison when he ran for Senate.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I executive produced his documentary in the bubble when he
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ran against Lindsey Graham. And he raised the most money
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and had endorsements from the state newspaper.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: And he still lost.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: So.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't think Annie Andrews had a chance, but the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: voters said otherwise.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Now, I'm not here to.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Say MAGA is officially dead, but I know what we
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: witnessed last night felt like a political funeral. OK, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, you cannot distance yourself from these results because
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you told people to treat this election like you were
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: on the ballot.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Well, congratulations, sir. They did. OK, this was a referendum
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: on 10 years of MAGA politics.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Don't just look at the last couple of years. Think
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: about what we.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Felt the last decade for 10 years. Donald Trump has
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: been promising to make America great again. Lower prices, better jobs,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: more money in your pocket, safer communities.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: No more endless wars. 10 years later.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: People are still struggling to afford groceries, their rent, their housing,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: their health care. Gas prices are hurting families.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: And we're in a war with Iran.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: OK, at some point, people stop listening to what you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: promising and start paying attention to what they're actually experiencing.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: And I believe that's what happened yesterday.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: OK, Republicans spent years telling Americans to be afraid of Democrats.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: OK, they're woke.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: They're radical. They're socialists. The transasauruses are coming to eat
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: your children.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Americans are looking at their bills, wondering how they're going
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to make it to the next paycheck. OK, you can't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: pay your mortgage with a culture war. And this is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: where Democrats deserve some credit. I, for the first time
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that I can remember, have so much faith in the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Democratic candidates all across the party.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: OK, from Dr.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Abdul Syed to Keisha Lance Bottoms, from Josh Shapiro to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Wes Moore, from Tyler Rico to even people who lost
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: like Angie Nixon. OK, Dems stopped talking about culture wars
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and started talking about affordability, health care, housing, public safety
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and the issues people deal with every day. OK, progressives won,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: moderates won, Democrats with different political philosophies won all across
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the board. So maybe the lesson isn't that Democrats have
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to abandon their principles.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's that they have to stop.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Letting Republicans dictate what the conversation is about.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: But.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Here's why I need Democrats to pay close attention.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Don't get comfortable because, you know, Democrat victory is not
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: proof that they've earned lasting trust. Americans rejected MAGA and Republicans,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't automatically mean they trust Democrats.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear another two years of Democrats
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: telling us how dangerous Donald Trump is.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: That's why there was such a rebuke of Trump last night.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: We know he's dangerous.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: That's why y'all won. I have one question. Okay.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: What the F are you going to do with the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: power that we, the people just gave you Democrats?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You got the house, you got the Senate. So come January,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I want to see an actual agenda. What's your plan?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: The lower housing costs. Are you going to build more
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: affordable housing? What about healthcare? Are you going to fight
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the lower premiums, protect Medicaid? Are you going to stop
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Americans from growing broke because they got sick? What about wages?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: People are working two and three jobs and still can't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: afford to live. What are you going to do to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: make sure a full-time job can actually support A family.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And while we're at it, what about all this corruption
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we've seen? Are we going to get real investigations into
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: conflicts of interest? Government contracts and politicians using public office
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to enrich themselves?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I hope so.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And Mr.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Hakeem Jeffries, you're about to have an opportunity to lead
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: the House.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: You have to prove you represent voters, not just the
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Democratic establishment. You have to prove.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You know that you have the interest that you're that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that you're that the interest of the voters. OK, comes
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: before those of wealthy donors and lobbying organizations. OK, I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't need another speech about defending democracy. I need to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: know what bills you're bringing to the floor and your
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: first hundred days. And don't just tell us what Republicans
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: are blocking. Show us the legislation. Put it up for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a vote. Let the American people see exactly who stands
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: where and Chuck Schumer.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: The same goes for the Senate.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Don't let good legislation die because leadership is afraid of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a difficult vote. Now I understand at least for two
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: more years, Donald Trump is still president. He can veto
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: legislation and Democrats won't have the votes to override every veto,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but that's not an excuse to do nothing. If you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can't get something passed, show us what you tried to pass,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: who oppose it and what you're going to do next.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And one more thing, Stop treating the people who challenge
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Democratic leadership like they're the enemy because we on your ass.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: All right. Young voters, working class voters, progressives, independents, they
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all deserve to be heard. You can't ask people to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: show up every election and then ignore them once you win.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I want Democrats to give the country something we can
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: actually measure, because by the time 2028 rolls around, when
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: we ask, what have you done about housing and affordability
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and health care and wages and public safety corruption?
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: We should have answers.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I don't care about how many times you went viral.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I don't care about how much money you raised.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What did you do? Democrats need to understand one thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You don't get credit for caring about working people if
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: working people never see the results.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: And Republicans? Y'all made a choice, okay?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So when the indictments and impeachments start rolling, remember what
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: your leader Donald Trump said, okay?
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: We got that clip in there about the gas prices?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Oil prices are temporarily high and will be falling dramatically
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in a short period of time as soon as that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: war is over because there's so much oil. The United
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of dollars.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: So our country is making millions hundreds of billions of
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: dollars because of what's happened in the Middle East, because
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: they're coming to Texas and they're coming to Oklahoma and
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: they're coming to Louisiana and they're taking that oil. They're
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: making hundreds of billions of dollars. Our country is on oil.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: And then on top of it, we have Venezuela and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: we have Greenland because Greenland has a lot of oil.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: So we're making hundreds and hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: But my people said, please don't mention that, sir. Because
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: people are paying a little higher. That number is going
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to come way down. But what we've done for this country,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: we're making money like this country has never made before.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: F that gas prices are high and kicking your ass,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we making a fortune, okay? Trump's been working for the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: billionaires the whole time. He don't care about y'all, okay?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The billionaires are going to be fine. It's the working
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: class people who believed all those promises. Those are the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: ones who have to live with the consequences of Donald
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Trump not giving a damn about anyone but himself and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: his billionaire friends.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: That's why elections matter.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And that's why neither party should ever confuse winning an
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: election with having the unconditional trust of the American people.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Republicans just got reminded that political power belongs to the people. OK,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: so Democrats, now that you have the power, don't make
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the mistake of thinking it belongs to you because it doesn't.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It belongs to us. We the people and Trump and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the MAGA Republicans learned that last night the same way.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: voters can put you in power, they can take it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: right back. Please give the MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the biggest hee-haw.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: We just got to keep everybody honest here. That's right. Okay.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: That's all. We just got to keep everybody honest here, guys.
