All right, So we know that it is the countdown to the new year. Twenty twenty five is coming but for so many we are thinking about the countdown also to January twentieth, where we have President elect Donald Trump, who's going to make it into office. Now, this is not without a little bit of victory on the part of black women in America. We know that Delaware's Lisa Blunt Rochester and Maryland's Angela also Brooks. They're two black women who for the first time serve together in the history of the United States of America. We're going to open up by speaking with my panel about this topic. I am joined now by doctor Julian Malveaux, economist and author.

Also with us DeLanda Jones, Texas state representative and lawyer out of Houston, Texas. And Joy Cheney, founder of Joy Strategies, out of Washington, d C. Good to see all of you here too. I've got all the j's tonight. I'm out of this with my sea kid. All right, Julia and Julanda and Joy, let's go. Let me first start by opening up this victory. I mean, it is a small victory when we think about the history of black women in America, doctor melveaw, but certainly two black women serving in the Senate at the same time is Delaware.

I'm very proud of.

I'm very proud of.

Absolutely, this is an amazing moment of First of all, you know Angela also Brooks. I supported her heavily. I think I'm maxed out on dollars. She is an amazing grace. She's a brilliant young woman who I foresee great things from. Also, she's a fierce young woman. And she comes from the working class. And this is important when we look at the Senate, look at the average wealth of the Senate, which is about the average wealth about three million dollars for the average American. It's a fraction of that. So she's coming from a place where she gets us, not us black people, but US working people, US pold people. And so I think that that's really great. And then Lisa Blood Rochester, to have the two of them together as a partnership is really great. What can I say, really great tribute to black women and our work. That's our work been AEDI. They were behind both of these women. Thousands were raised thanks to Star Jones because they we want to support those women. And so here we are now we have this is a victory. So we cannot do anything as we have to celebrate this. We just have to celebrate this, and whatever else is going on, we have to celebrate this.

They are in a Republican Senate, and I think the most value that they can do for each other is to be there to support each other. As an elected official myself in Texas, and I don't need to tell you about Texas sometimes because they're fighting every day uphill with systems designed to oppress us, and sometimes we need reinforcements when we want to when we're having a bad day.

Which I respectfully submit to you.

Which I respectfully submit to you.

With Trump and the Republicans control and everything, they're going to have a lot of bad days and they will know between each other what they are going through, and so their biggest uh, I guess the most positive thing about them is that they can work and support each other and and actually learn.

But they can try to stop things. I don't know what their strong points.

Are, you know, like I know that in Texas, for example, we have points of order where we can actually stop bad legislation. I think that they need to take the time to learn those things that they need to learn in order to figure out how it works, and then be there to support each other when they have uphill pedals all day.

TV, it is a play and by the way I'm experiencing this, I'm a former Senate, she's a staff. It is a place where you have to get to know people. Give a shout out to my former boss, Senator Kirsten gillibrand get to know her. She's really great about navigating the Senate. And then and then you will build up those relationships.

Get in line and just do.

Get in line and just do.

The hard work of laying the groundwork of building a strong foundation in the Senate and making sure that you can come back in your second term. That's what the first time is all about. Making sure that you are sending money whenever you can, even though we don't we don't know where we're gonna land on earmarks as often as you can back.

Be allowed to If I could just jump in here, I think Joy is giving some really great advice one hand. On the other hand, especially about the constituent services, which are really important, you do those now. Other piece of it is that I don't think that these sisters need to go in there being mister bo jangles.

I know that's your experience, and please, you know, let me finish, because what I want to say is they came into disrupt I would encourage them to disrupt. Angel also is a brilliant disruptor. Le Rochester a little bit less, so let's disruptor and so they don't need Yeah, they should do the meetings and blah blah blah. You're giving them interesting advice. Obviously I disagree with much of it. I do agree with the whole dose of getting no people. But I think that they should not bow jangles it. They should come in fierce and strong, because that's how they were elected.

But I don't I don't think going in to learn how the body works is Bojanguin.

But I don't I don't think going in to learn how the body works is Bojanguin.

Yeah, I didn't take it like that.

No, there are one hundred senators and you know, whatever senator sees in.

Of you know that wrong.

Of you know that wrong.

Even even Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when they went in, people would ask Barack Obama, you know, what's it like working in the Senate. He's I got sharpened the pencils. I'm at the bottom of the list. That doesn't mean you cannot rise, and it doesn't mean you can't be a disruptor. But people do want to get to know you, and if you want to have higher aspirations, you will need those senators to support you.

You do want to get the rules the Senate, especially when you have a you know, a Senate where it's going to be held by a Republican majority. Knowing the rules of the Senate is really important.

You do want to get the rules the Senate, especially when you have a you know, a Senate where it's going to be held by a Republican majority. Knowing the rules of the Senate is really important.

It is right, and I think the rules, but guess what they also should have They to break them, but I mean they should learn then they should also break them. These sisters came in as disruptors, and I want them not to be influenced by you, but by me to say keep disrupted.

It is right, and I think the rules, but guess what they also should have They to break them, but I mean they should learn then they should also break them. These sisters came in as disruptors, and I want them not to be influenced by you, but by me to say keep disrupted.

And I agree, but but you've got to come in and you gotta have way play the game. You can be disruptive and people not know you being disruptive. And a perfect example of how somebody came in disrupting and now want to ascend to leadership and couldn't is uh, what's the congresswoman? Uh to New York AOC. She came in disrupting. She came in endorsing people against our colleagues. So guess what them colleagues ain't about to support her for nothing. So you've got to be super nuanced. And I think the best thing in incoming person into any elected body can can be is to go in and learn the rules, figure out which rules you're gonna master, figure out where the power resides. Go talk to peopleeople carry their briefcases, sharpen their pencils. You might even play like you don't know what you're doing, and you might play dumb, and you might flatter them to get them to feel secret to you that you will use very effectively. Once you've been there a little minute to be an effective disruptor.

All Right, I'm going to jump in here because listen, two sides of the coin there. I want to hear from the comments section what people think about the two sides of the coin before we go over to Shamara figures. Let's go down to Alabama. Listen, not since the eighteen what eighteen thirty two has someone been in the House of Representatives in this position, a person of color, certainly a big deal. But there had to be a redesigning of the district in order for this to happen, you know, doctor Malveaux, this is this is why we recognize what is happening when it comes to redlining and fighting courts to make the change. Here we have District number two. A big deal obviously, because this is someone who finally was able to cross the bridge and win.

That's what doctor Malvaux.

That's what doctor Malvaux.

I'm looking at Alabama and that district too, and the ways that had been Jared mandered, and what people have done persistently to stop the Jared mandering. And I think that this is a victory, but it's also a challenge. And the challenge is that it's a it's a it's a one off. We have legislatures changing, we have judges changing. This is a good thing, but it's not a permanent thing. And then I think we're all turned out. Jamari uh Figures is a great standidate guy, But is this it's just a sustainable victory? That's my question. Is this a sustainable victory?

Joy, I'm gonna pass the baton to you. Is this a sustainable victory? Is this just a one off? Obviously something we can all be proud of making headlining news and we'll be watching to see what he does next. Having always worked in the Obama administration, But what are your thoughts?

I texted with her to say that we would be talking about him tonight.

I texted with her to say that we would be talking about him tonight.

I think that you know, this is this is a pattern for when you know, courts work to protect black voters and we can end up here that we can actually win. And then the party supported him, and he was someone from the state who had had federal experience, went back home, was able to really advance and there was a lot of support around him.

This is sort of I think a pattern not just for him, but I think that we can see repeated elsewhere, especially when we pay attention to redistricting.

We are armed.

So I hope that we are gearing up for that when that time comes around, coming forward, which means you need to be preparing now so that we can be ready to be able to fight these battles and it's gonna be like this district by district.

Let me just also say that to Mari is a young guy. He is a family man.

Let me just also say that to Mari is a young guy. He is a family man.

He is someone who represents you know, when people see him, they see themselves in him. They feel like, you know, the Democratic Party isn't all oxygenarians, which we love them too, but we have to have intergenerational leadership.

He is someone who represents you know, when people see him, they see themselves in him. They feel like, you know, the Democratic Party isn't all oxygenarians, which we love them too, but we have to have intergenerational leadership.

So I'm just so excited about not.

So I'm just so excited about not.

Just him winning in district too and what we were able to do with the redistrict in there, but his runway, young guy running wings that we can have a long runway perhaps who knows going to President Shamari Figers.

Yeah, Jolanda, certainly she's making a good point. Listen, the younger the better in terms of how many decades of our life will he'd be potentially in office. Just a good precedent. I think in terms of how the court system works that brought us here to now. A small victory in some ways, a big victory in many other ways, but certainly more than a big star Jolanda.

So, yeah, So I think it's I think it's a big victory. I think there's not going to there's not going to be redistricting until was it twenty thirty? Right, So he'll hold onto that seat for at least six years. I think what's beautiful about Congressman elect Figures is that he comes from people who.

Can help him. His mom is a great senator. His dad was a senator.

Yes, you guys know this, but his father represented the woman I can't remember her name who bankrupted the KKK.

So, and he's a lawyer.

So as a lawyer myself, there are some skills that we have that help us figure out how to navigate systems and are able to find the right answers.

He's smart. He showed that he could win in a big field. There was a big field that he had to win, and he won in a runoff against the very I guess respected state representative in Alabama, And so.

He's smart. He showed that he could win in a big field. There was a big field that he had to win, and he won in a runoff against the very I guess respected state representative in Alabama, And so.

I'm excited for him. I'm excited to see a black man be in Congress. I think representation matters. And again, some people get elected and they are the first person in their family and they're not from a political environment, and so they have they're there by themselves. And I think the beautiful thing about him is he has the right degrees, he has the right life experiences, He's got a family to keep him grounded. He's got six years before he has to worry about redistricting, and he's got some people who can help him navigate the system. So I am excited, and I believe that in DC, under these very difficult circumstances, that Democrats are going to stick together. I hope, but Black Democrats are going to stick together because they know that the target is on us.

And I told him I wanted to be a rapper, And they said, okay, well, I don't know anything about the music business. So what you should do is learn everything there is to know about the music business, and I make sure that you have the resources to push you through. And so I went and bought books. All you need to know about the music business hit me in. I just wanted about a bunch of books to start reading as a ten year old green reading. And so I learned, you know, I'll think licensing, mechanical rights. I learned the bad publishing and learned about how composition is broke up into two pieces, the writer's portion and the producer's portion. But by the time I actually learned, I came back and I was rid of it, like, okay, I got it.

So I served with Congressman Crockett for a small sex segment when she was in the State House. And the thing I love about Congresswoman Crockett is this she literally uses her street skills because up in the hood is really important because you got to be able to come back. She uses her legal skills, i e. She challenged them on a point of clarification using their parliamentary procedure after the House, let Marjorie Taylor Green be disrespectful and talk about her eyelashes. And sometimes you need to say stuff to get people's attention. And what's important about that is it challenged the notion. Because four people consistently say that politicians are not in touch with their constituencies, they talk over their heads.

But what it did most importantly is it pushed back on bullies who were who are not accustomed to being pushed back on because the Republicans seem they can out yell you, out, shout to you, and because they have the numbers, then they can just bring you down. And I thought the Congressman Crocket was brilliant. I also believe that black people felt empowered because people culturally appropriate us, they never listened to us.

No, If my kids had been watching that day, I would have been humiliated that they were watching, you know, this whole display that said I mean to be wrong about that. Many people are looking at and feeling like, you know what, when people challenge me like Marjorie Taylor Green did, when they talk to me like she did, sometimes you got to growd back, take it to them, let them know that that's not acceptable and it won't be tolerated, and they need to feel that people are willing to kind of get get in the muck a little bit on their behalf. And that's what Jugamind Crockett does, and she does so brilliantly. So even though yes, I already discussed that I'm a senate person and we don't like that, but it is sort of how you have to mix it up sometimes in the house. And frankly, it reminds people that no one denies that if you are a constituent of hers and she is fighting for you.

First of all, it was a brilliant alliteration. The BBBBBBB which built whatever it was a brilliant alliteration and showed her chops as an orator and as a sister in the struggle Number two, Marjorie Taylor Green, what can we do with her? Folks? Can we figure something out? Can we like have a paper bag party on the mill behind? Y'all know what I mean. But because she's just out of order, out of line, she's talking about people's eyelashes because she can't read. Because it if you could read, you would understand these people are reading the same documents you are. So just Marjorie Taylor Green, good bye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. But most importantly, what Jasmine Crockett has done, as I think both of my colleagues have said, she has empowered black folks to push back. And there has to be a pushback because too much up these days, we're hearing about a little boy in Cape cod who tries to drown a black child. We have Roland regularly features these Karens and crazy people who refuse to allow people full to have access to their own space. And so then we have this woman who's a congresswoman who disrespects other congress people. But we have one who pushes back, and that's a blessing and that's a lesson, and that is empowerment for our young women and men. We don't have to take this spit, and we won't and we simply won't. Hey tomorrows retailer Green, May she live in Congress for a very long time.

Ultimately, I think a lot of people would argue joy that Trump was a winner in all of this. I mean, not only was he on the cover of Time magazine, but when we look at what the Supreme Court said and their decision about Trump and whether or not he was immune official lax versus unofficial lax, there was a lot of leverage that he was given. What are your thoughts about Trump his immunity and where we see that going in twenty twenty four because these charges perhaps could come back once he's out of office.

Time magazine, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Hitler was on the cover of Time magazine once. The Person of the Year can be a negative thing or a positive thing. So would I wouldn't take that, you know, take that from it what it is. Yeah, I mean he did. He lost some, but he won some. That is the nature of courts, right. Ultimately he won the ultimate prize, which was he was able to be re elected.

For us, we were engaging in the rule of law and doing you know what was this, you know necessary? A person was violating the law with impunity, given many opportunities to find some kind of plea deals, some kind of out chose not to take any of those. He wanted these things to go to trial so that he could have verdicts, so that he could use them as fund raising mechanisms, so that he could use them to rally his base. And it worked. Some of these cases will come back. He will probably commit more crimes that will have to be investigated. I think the Supreme Court has made it very difficult to consider doing that. They've made being president really above the law, and so I think we're gonna see those those laws though tested the bounds up.

Interestingly enough, you know the door is open for charges to be potentially brought back. But like Joyce said, statute of limitations and will anybody be interested in bringing those charges? But at this point, right now, we know that Jack Smith has dropped those four charges, and so Trump.

He's smiling, and he's pictures for a reason. He's smiling for a reason. He's off the hook for a number of things. And I think that if we go back, it's not likely that four years from now. First of all, Denmnd, I'm not going there. But four years from now, really is there gonna be an interest or is he going to be alive to basically deal with what goes on? So we look at that, I think basically he's off the hook. But that doesn't mean he's off the hook. Hook hook, because what we have is a person who has been convicted of thirty four felonies. We have a person who is liable for at least five million dollars and perhaps more for a sexual sexual assault. Yes you have sexual assault of e. G. Carroll. We have a person who is on the record talk at all kinds of major spit and so while he may be off the hook in the shortest run and the longer run, we have as a flawed president who basically this is his legacy. His legacy is that he's a liar, a crook, a loser, and whatever else we have to say that there it is. So you know, I think Joy is right. We're not going to see in four years people are going to go after if he's even with us in four years. But I do think that there's always gonna be an asterisk behind his name when you talk about what he said president. And that's that's about the line he's he's never gonna be free of what he did, although he'd like to be.

Is the rule is what the rule is, sort of like we had a right to abortion, sort of like black people had civil rights and the Supreme Court said screw all that, and whatever Trump does is okay. They absolutely vote on very important issues along party lines. And I fear that Trump is going to put more people on the Supreme Court, which is why he appeals everything, because he knows if they can find a federal question in there, because there's got to be a federal question before to go to the Supreme Court, that he's going to get off. And it terrifies me. And yes, people will fight, they will, but Trump has really stacked the courts for the rest of his life and probably for his estate when he dies, to protect it for his children, and he is going to do everything he can do in all of his cronies to put America in a place in a space to go back. I'm telling you this. It terrifies me as a lawyer. And if he dies in office, he's setting the stage for JD. Vance, who's worse than him, to take office. I worry again as a lawyer, if we'll even have the right to elections, to free elections. So he trusts me. Trump with the one thing I can say about that man, and he is an evil man. The one thing I can say about him is he didn't playing chess when everybody else has been playing checkers. He has been putting young people in office. The Republicans really have been doing that, and they are trying to figure out what laws they can undermine. They take these little laws, suits and little obscure places nobody's paying attention to get them up to the Supreme Court.

Is the rule is what the rule is, sort of like we had a right to abortion, sort of like black people had civil rights and the Supreme Court said screw all that, and whatever Trump does is okay. They absolutely vote on very important issues along party lines. And I fear that Trump is going to put more people on the Supreme Court, which is why he appeals everything, because he knows if they can find a federal question in there, because there's got to be a federal question before to go to the Supreme Court, that he's going to get off.

And he is going to set us back. And I don't know how long it will.

Be before the Supreme Court granted him immunity. Has put him in a position to be the most dangerous man in the universe, and he absolutely is.

Jenanda, I'm going to stick with you because you mentioned the court system, you mentioned how he stacked them, and when we look at twenty twenty four, we cannot not talk about Justice Clarence Thomas and the ethics violation. The fact that it was only twenty twenty three where there were first a set of guidelines that were applicable to the United States Supreme Court of America. Here we are, investigations have just finished up, and we're looking at somebody like Clarence Thomas. So they're saying tech took many, many, many, many trips. What do you say about the Supreme Court and these ethics violations that they have been running from for quite a while. In fact, the guidelines that they have to follow in terms of what they've what they've gotten, they're voluntary.

Still, all I can say is this Class Thomas is the epitome of Steven On Jango unchained and as a consequence, absolutely hates being black.

He has benefited and those other types of black people that Republicans and Conservatives like to put in places of power, and they're going to continue to make excuses for him taking luxury trips, getting private tuish and paid for his family members. Because you know what, black people would have never got sold into slavery if it weren't for people who look just like us, validating the slave catchers. And Class Thomas is that person, and I.

I wish that he would be impeached it's not going to happen again.
