I saw Bernie Sanders post yesterday about he likes what Trump is attempting to do with the Pentagon by auditing them.

And stuff like that, attempting let's see it happen. Here's the reality. I serve on the Oversight Committee. That's where all the drama typically happens. And we've had Department of Defense come before us a number of times. The vast majority of the waste, fraught, and abuse that we have in this country is Department of Defense. You can google and find out that at some point in time we were spending like one thousand dollars per toilet or something. So that's where we see these inflated costs. That's where we have a lot of contractors, that's where they play a lot of games. That's where Elin gets the vast majority of his money is out of Defense. And when they come before us and we ask them about their audit, they haven't had a clean audit in the last six times we've asked for an audit. So the fact that they're going to start with people that are getting six dollars a day to eat, or they want to go after the little old lady that's just trying to get her little health care and they believe that that's what the savings is. That's not where the savings is. Nor is it going after career civil servants and saying, oh, let me take your coins, let me take your job. Because when we add up, even if we fired everybody that works for the federal government, it's only maybe four or five percent of our budget, but over or approximately fifty percent of our discretionary budget is defense, and they can't pass an audit. So why we didn't start there where Elon has decided that he was going to get two new contracts just in two weeks, one for four hundred million dollars to Tesla, another for a little over three hundred million dollars to SpaceX. I don't know why we didn't start there, but it seems like we could find a lot of waste, fraud and abuse because again they've not been able to pass an audit.

There is a lot of waste for fraud and abuse in the federal government.

There is a lot of waste for fraud and abuse in the federal government.

Though I'm not going to say that there's a lot. I'm going to say that it does exist. I'm going to say that exist. I don't think that there's a lot. I think we're in debt because we decide that we're going to reduce the income. Right, So under Trump and his first administration, we went into debt eight trillion dollars. Now, he wanted to say it was because of COVID, it really wasn't. Obviously there was money that we sent out because people were in need during COVID to make sure that we didn't go into a recession. But at the end of the day, it was because he said, oh, wait a minute, that income, We're gonna stop bringing that in from the top one percenters. Well, those Trump tax cuts they expire right about now, and he's trying to reinstitute them. So here it is. You've got Elon Muss running around Tomason, I'm cutting this, I'm slashing this, I'm doing this and that and da da da, all this kind of stuff. Right. I do want to be clear that at the same time, they're saying, but we got to raise the debt limit, Well, why do you have to raise the debt limit if we are saving all this money? You know why? Because they actually want to deepen the tax cuts for all those billionaires that were sitting on stage with him on January twentieth. Those guys are looking to keep more money in their pocket. That is why it's why we ran into debt last time. It's why we're going to run into debt again. The only time that we've had a budget that was clean and we didn't have to worry about debt. You know who was in office, Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton a Democrat. You know what the tax rate was. It was what Kamala Harris was proposing. That is not the tax rate that they are looking to do on the one percenters.

School school me on this too, right, Bill Clinton did the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. He essentially elon saying he's essentially doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. As far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or more efficient. You know, what do you say to that, what's the difference between what Clinton did in the nineties and what he s So there was.

As far as, like, you know, making the government smaller or more efficient. You know, what do you say to that, what's the difference between what Clinton did in the nineties and what he s So there was.

A lot that's different. But I do want to start with because I actually looked at the numbers, we really work kind of big. We actually had more people working in the federal government when Bill Clinton was in office initially than we have now, you know the differences. The country's just a little bit bigger, right, So chances are you would need more. And we're talking about the people that are delivering your mail. You're talking about the people because all y'all about to start calling us some much someone I ain't got my tax refund check? Okay, So like firing the irs, we're talking about you know, the people that do FAA so the planes don't fall out the sky, right, So we have a lot more going on, and we literally don't even have as many people as we had working when he came in, so we were a little kind of bloated when it came down to it. But also all presidents should have advisors, and that's essentially what he had, was an advisor. What they have said is that Elon is the one that cut off the spicett of money, like this is after money was appropriated and then he's like, oh no, no, no, you can't get that money. And now people are dying in other countries because USAID has stopped. And I want to be clear about something. You can shut down USAID if you want to, but that has to be done congressionally, Okay. That's number one. Number two, USAID is less than one percent of our budget. So they over here talking about something, Oh, they handing out condoms and they doing this and all this kind of stuff. It's literally less than one percent of our budget because they don't want you to pay attention to the over ninety nine percent of the budget, where yes, I would say most of the waste, fraud, and abuse is actually still at the hands of somebody like Elon Musk. Like these bootleg trucks that he decided that he was going to sell the federal government. I think maybe at one hundred thousand dollars. I don't know what the price is per truck or whatever. But he's selling these trucks at the same time that he's getting rid of all the people that were conducting investigations over him about Tesla, investigations about SpaceX. He got rid of all those people. And even in that interview that Trump just did, he's like asked by Fox News of all places, right, He's asked, well, you know who's going to oversee Elon and make sure his conflicts are good? He's like, oh, Elon, is I'm my woman in now? Like I mean, because I got a whole body of people that's over me, Like I don't just get to decide what is like right and wrong. And honestly, I'm not allowed to take any money, like I have to live a very poor life right now, right like you're getting paid, I could be getting paid. I made more money before. I will make more money up right now. I am living, not in the overflow, no, I mean, oh yeah, yeah, listen, no, no, no. And I had to shut them down because first they said that I had a husband. No husband, y'all. First they said I had a husband, and they said that I was paying him half a million dollars to keep me safe. And people were like, he should be doing that for free. And I was like, I don't know if y'all mix up the playground or if y'all just think every black girl that comes to Congress brings a husband who has to live off. That's not what it is, Okay, No husband, never been married, never been engaged, right, that's number one. So and they said, well, she's worth nine million dollars and she's got all these homes. Let me tell you something. When I first got to Congress, about two weeks in, there was a case that I've been working for seven years. It was a civil rights case, one of my last two civil rights cases, and I still got one pennant. So just so y'all know, if I got to resign, I'm a resign. But nevertheless, it goes to trial, I'm unable to participate because I'm not supposed to be. But I'm in this wine down period. It actually hits for about twenty two million dollars. All right, so ethic says you can't collect your attorneys feel that at all? Now, mind you, I worked this case before I ever ran for Congress, right, So like that gives you an idea of how far they go when it comes to the no. But here's the deal. I would have resigned and I will design. No, I'm not finna play with my money like y'all tripping, because I worked on that case for seven years. It was against a very small city that literally can't pay it. Now, if for some reason and they go find the coins, then absolutely I'm resigning, forcing a special election and I'll win, right, But I do have another one that is penning, and it's pinning against the city of Dallas, and the officer in that case actually played guilty if the City of Dallas does pay up. You heard it here. First, You're resigning, and it will be a seven figure payday for me because as an attorney, yeah, we do have cases that hit for millions of dollars. It's not really that odd. The thing is that I've always been a bleeding heart liberal. I have, so I was doing more criminal defense than anything. I wasn't really doing a lot of the big million dollar cases unless I was helping out the homies. I've got plenty of cases where I've gone into court help homies get seven figure results. But that never was me. I just wanted to be comfortable. And now I got, you know, deal with Congress.

You said you can resign and didn't run again.

You said you can resign and didn't run again.

You said, yeah, I'm let my Yeah. Billionaires in Congress that part, and they all got upset about this lie. I'm like, first of all, why y'all mad? If this what's true? Why is this a problem? It's a problem just because I'm a black woman for most of them, right, because they still not mad that Elon literally made another one hundred and something billion dollars since the election. Y'all not mad at this African man.

Y'all not mad at this African man.

A question you think a lot of the stuff that Trump is doing now is to quiet that is, well, we're possibly gonna give you guys five thousand dollars as the district, possibly gonna take the congestion prices. Say hello to the king. You think he's doing those things to say, you know what, all the rest of our stuff, these people won't even check me because I'm doing they think I'm doing this.

Say hello to the king. You think he's doing those things to say, you know what, all the rest of our stuff, these people won't even check me because I'm doing they think I'm doing this.

That's exactly right. He knows that they're not going to check them, right, Like, I mean, you can go back and play the clips of him talking about how he loves the uneducated. Right if you would ever run for president, he was runn as a Republican, like and we know, like, this isn't me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts when you look at who's voting for who the less educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm not even talking about formal education. I'm talking about people that literally don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans. And it's one of the reasons that we have to stop writing in theses as Democrats, right, Like, we want to give you every single little detail that we can find so that you can have all the information. But the reality is that the average person that is going out there and voting, they're not paying attention to that. And we fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out and they vote in their own self interest, right, And so you had all these races that showed up and decided that they were going to vote for the other races because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay, and so when he decided that he was going to look out for somebody, it was only going to be other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all. So as you're losing your job, as you're losing your medicaid, as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because you're like, wait a minute, you were supposed to go after the others, not come after us. And now they're saying, oh, well, we'll give you a five thousand dollars check. I don't see it happening right now. That is not a part of the budget that they have proposed, that is for sure. So they just had a markup. So this is the first that they're ever talking about this. The budget that they proposed where they went through a thirteen hour markup just the other day, proposed getting rid of Medicare. So I mean, theoretically, they should have the money if you decide that people won't have healthcare in this country, which costs a little bit more than five thousand dollars a person. But the reality is that they're not going to do that.

You know, it's so interesting I said that eighteen months after he got sworn in. I felt like, you know, the economy was just going to be in the toilet, and I felt like that's what they were going to do, Like they were going to do either the tax credits or the stimulus checks just to pacify all of the people that's going to be out in the street complaining. I mean, you got twelve dollard federal workers already fired and haven't been.

You know, it's so interesting I said that eighteen months after he got sworn in.

I mean, you got twelve dollard federal workers already fired and haven't been.

Been a month.

Been a month.

No, I mean, what's today the nineteenth He's wearing January twentieth. So yeah, we are. And what I need people to understand is that five thousand dollars, even if you get it, it's not going very far because we are headed to a recession. It is the bottom line, and you know, people talked about how terrible the economy was, and that was more so, like things were expensive, but people were absolutely able to still enjoy all these playe rides because every time I called a flight, it was absolutely packed, right, And so yes it was expensive, but you could pay for it. You're gonna end up in a situation where you're not gonna be able to afford the food. Right now, you're getting rid of the people that labor in the fields, right because here's the reality. When you look back at the history of this country, they have always relied on some person of color to labor. That is why they needed slave labor, right, Like we were the ones that they took onto the plantations to work the fields. And so we know that we have so many immigrants that come into this country and the only thing that they're looking for is a way to survive. And so they will work for the pennies that is paid to actually work the farms, and that keeps the cost of our food down. But when they send their money home, it goes a long way, and so their family is able to live a better life than they would have been able to live if they were still there where they didn't have the job opportunities, right, But these are also the people that are building our houses. As you're complaining about the cost of homes, now we have another input cost that's about to go up because listen, these people aren't showing up. I just talked to contractors down in Atlanta, Georgia that talked about the fact that their workers are not showing up to work because they are concerned about whether or not they are gonna come and try to take them away. And this is even if you are a citizen. Because Ice is so ignorant. They rounded up everybody. They rounding up Puerto Ricans, they are Americans, right, They are rounding up Native Americans. They are the most American that you can find, right, Like, they are rounding up everybody. So people of color are like, yo, I am not even going to work. Right, So now you're talking about costs going up, but you're also talking about less people working. The United States is the fifteenth largest employer in the entire world. Right, So now they're like, oh, yeah, all those people were firing. They can just go to private industry. The jobs don't exist, and private industry is signaling that they know that the recession is coming. Southwest has never done a layoff like what they did in the entire existence of Southwest, and they just cut fifteen percent of their workforce. So we're seeing where private industry is starting to collapse and starting to actually reduce their workforce instead of increase it. So where are these people going to go? And people don't realize how many organizations, private or otherwise rely on federal dollars in some way. And now you're saying, we're going to take those federal dollars out, but we're not putting them back into people's pockets. We're putting them into the pockets of my friends. So now Elon is going to get more money. Now I'm going to figure out how to serve myself because he also told his Department of Justice, do not enforce not, do not enforce the marijuana laws right on the books, not do not enforce the fact that there's this disparity between crack and cocaine on the federal level, but do not enforce foreign influence laws. Okay, well, I'm sorry I had nobody from the hood get caught up because they were engaged in some kind of foreign influence as fuck. I mean, so who is it that typically gets caught up. It's people with access and so now basically he's signaling to all of these people that have tried to corrupt our government, come on through, drop off a bag. In fact, y'all just had a senator nearby that just went down. They just gave Menendez eleven years. But the exact thing that he's telling his Department of Justice, do not enforce this. That's where we are.

No, I mean, what's today the nineteenth He's wearing January twentieth. So yeah, we are. And what I need people to understand is that five thousand dollars, even if you get it, it's not going very far because we are headed to a recession. It is the bottom line, and you know, people talked about how terrible the economy was, and that was more so, like things were expensive, but people were absolutely able to still enjoy all these playe rides because every time I called a flight, it was absolutely packed, right, And so yes it was expensive, but you could pay for it. You're gonna end up in a situation where you're not gonna be able to afford the food. Right now, you're getting rid of the people that labor in the fields, right because here's the reality. When you look back at the history of this country, they have always relied on some person of color to labor. That is why they needed slave labor, right, Like we were the ones that they took onto the plantations to work the fields. And so we know that we have so many immigrants that come into this country and the only thing that they're looking for is a way to survive. And so they will work for the pennies that is paid to actually work the farms, and that keeps the cost of our food down. But when they send their money home, it goes a long way, and so their family is able to live a better life than they would have been able to live if they were still there where they didn't have the job opportunities, right, But these are also the people that are building our houses. As you're complaining about the cost of homes, now we have another input cost that's about to go up because listen, these people aren't showing up. I just talked to contractors down in Atlanta, Georgia that talked about the fact that their workers are not showing up to work because they are concerned about whether or not they are gonna come and try to take them away. And this is even if you are a citizen. Because Ice is so ignorant. They rounded up everybody. They rounding up Puerto Ricans, they are Americans, right, They are rounding up Native Americans. They are the most American that you can find, right, Like, they are rounding up everybody. So people of color are like, yo, I am not even going to work. Right, So now you're talking about costs going up, but you're also talking about less people working. The United States is the fifteenth largest employer in the entire world. Right, So now they're like, oh, yeah, all those people were firing. They can just go to private industry. The jobs don't exist, and private industry is signaling that they know that the recession is coming. Southwest has never done a layoff like what they did in the entire existence of Southwest, and they just cut fifteen percent of their workforce. So we're seeing where private industry is starting to collapse and starting to actually reduce their workforce instead of increase it. So where are these people going to go? And people don't realize how many organizations, private or otherwise rely on federal dollars in some way. And now you're saying, we're going to take those federal dollars out, but we're not putting them back into people's pockets. We're putting them into the pockets of my friends. So now Elon is going to get more money. Now I'm going to figure out how to serve myself because he also told his Department of Justice, do not enforce not, do not enforce the marijuana laws right on the books, not do not enforce the fact that there's this disparity between crack and cocaine on the federal level, but do not enforce foreign influence laws. Okay, well, I'm sorry I had nobody from the hood get caught up because they were engaged in some kind of foreign influence as fuck. I mean, so who is it that typically gets caught up. It's people with access and so now basically he's signaling to all of these people that have tried to corrupt our government, come on through, drop off a bag. In fact, y'all just had a senator nearby that just went down. They just gave Menendez eleven years. But the exact thing that he's telling his Department of Justice, do not enforce this. That's where we are.

How do you feel about that, because you know, it seems like if you cool with Trump, you get a party. If you cool with Trump, he'll tell you don't prosecute him. Recently we've seen Eric Adams not being prosecuted. What's your thoughts on that, cool.

With Trump you get paid?

Listen, my thought is that I'm still black in America and I ain't gonna play no kind of games like so, I am gonna walk the straight and narrow for a number of reasons. Number one, I have some rols about myself. In number two, I know that they would love an opportunity to lock me up right like I would be the exception to the rule. But you're absolutely right. I mean, Canada has really been the one to call it out, the fact that I'm rooting for Canada and I'm rooting for Mexico. A lot is really wild, but they are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now. They can see what it is and they were like, we are not messing with this crazy regime from marer Lago and basically calling them thugs. That's what it is. But I'm like, y'all knew who he was when y'all elected him, So don't act surprised. You elected somebody who was actually convicted by a jury of his peers of thirty four felony convictions. Again, if it was me, there's no way. I mean right now, I ain't got no convictions, no arrests, no nothing, and I would never be qualified for president in this country in the eyes of the vast majority of them. But a guy who literally not only ended up becoming a convicted felon but also had other cases that were pending in other jurisdictions, Oh yeah, he's good to go.

You just said something that I've been thinking about. Why do people still talk like Donald Trump is campaigning as opposed to like he's actually here right now in the flesh doing what it is that he's doing. Like they still talk like you know, they stopped like they talk like they can stop this, Like.

I saw governor governor of Illinois JV. What's his name, David.

I saw governor governor of Illinois JV. What's his name, David.

Yes, he was talking, but I'm like, yo, that should have been said four years ago, the things that he was saying, like like why are they talking like he's still campaigning.

Yes, he was talking, but I'm like, yo, that should have been said four years ago, the things that he was saying, like like why are they talking like he's still campaigning.

I'm gonna say this. I think that there's two things. I think that again, Democrats are so cerebral that we were like, of course, nobody's going to vote for him again. They'll remember the dead bodies they were piling up in freezer trucks in New York. They'll remember that he was selling people the in Jake Bleach. They'll remember that, you know, they were losing their jobs. They did not know if their family members were going to live or die. They will remember. We thought he like people would remember, and then we started to realize way too late that a lot of people forgot all they remembered. It was almost like our brains would not remember the bad. All they remembered was like things like a twelve hundred dollars check, but they didn't remember how they got it right, Like they didn't remember Pelosi. They didn't remember the Democrats were controlling the House at the time, like they didn't remember that part of the story.

The Democrats messaging and marketing.

The Democrats messaging and marketing.

Well, you know, we're still working. But I will say the other part of this though about Pritzker, is that I think what we're trying to do is at least make sure that people wake up because there are things that we can do. I don't accept defeat. I mean, if I accepted defeat, here's the reality, I wouldn't be sitting here before you. My ancestors never accepted defeat, so I won't either. Did he win? Absolutely? Are we defeated? Absolutely not? And so right now costitution? Absolutely? I liked that. Look at you with your alliteration. Okay, there we got. So here's the deal. We know that the House is only a three member to friends, three members going to the Democratic side means that we control the House and we start slowing things down. We have three seats that are about to be up. We have two seats that are up right now. We have another run that will be up in New York. And so I'm telling people put all your energy into these three seats because I can't wait two years. Like I'm tired of him already, so we need an opportunity to start stopping him. So I do want governors like Pritzker to give people this belief and this hope, and I want people to go out and say, you know what, I don't have very much money, but I think that it's worthwhile for me to give my ten dollars to these people that are running in Florida, to give money to whoever is going to ultimately run here in New York. I think it's worth my time to show up and actually knock on some doors and talk to people and listen to people and ask them why did you vote for Trump? And Trump would still be your president? But don't you want this to slow down a little bit. Don't you want somebody to say, hey, wait a minute. We think that it's important that social security still exists, and the only thing that will stand between you and your social security is potentially having a democratic House. And it doesn't mean you're a Democrat, but it does mean that you believe in a democratic republic. And so I want us to work these three seats right now because one of the elections Florida will take place on April.

First, So those are the guardrails that are in place to protect you know, people like the federal workers from what Elon Musk and Donald.

First, So those are the guardrails that are in place to protect you know, people like the federal workers from what Elon Musk and Donald.

Trumpet well, as it relates that to that part, the guardrails are the courts. That's the only thing that we have standing right now. And I'm concerned that ultimately the High Court belongs to him. So I know he's trying to get those cases up to the Supreme Court again, get them to dismantle the constitution a bit, dismantle laws a little bit. But the fact that they push back on TikTok of all things like just forget the subject matter. But ultimately, in a nine to zero decision when it came down to TikTok, they said, oh, never mind, Like, no, you can't do that. That will signed into law whether you like it or not. It will sign its law, and you can't just unilaterally overturn that. So I think that we may have a little hope from them when it comes down to things like once Congress appropriates something, you can't do anything about it. Now here's the thing. It'll never make it the Supreme Court in time because this last funding bill runs out on March fourteenth. We won't get to the Supreme Court by March fourteenth to get a decision. But we potentially will have a new budget, and that budget should be done because he does have a Trump trifecta. It should be done in the image of what it is that they want to deliver. So we'll see if they can get it done. I don't know. I think we're shutting down on March fourteenth.

On March fourteenth, you think the government's gonna shut down?

On March fourteenth, you think the government's gonna shut down?

Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was under Trump. When we shut down I think at least two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in the history of this country came under Trump. And right now they have a slimmer majority than they had when I was in the hundred and eighteenth session. So right now they only have they can only lose one vote. One Republican vote can vote against it, So if all Democrats show up and vote against it, which we should, they can only lose one. Right now. I don't see how they get it past, but we'll see they can get it past the Senate. I don't see how they get it past the House. Why do you think people still love him so much?

Yeah, I mean the last time we shut down was under Trump. When we shut down I think at least two times, and the longest shutdown we've ever had in the history of this country came under Trump.

And I'm not talking about that I'm talking about, like us, Like why are there some of us that still favor him? Like why is he still so like he he has such a high approval rate Trump.

And I'm not talking about that I'm talking about, like us, Like why are there some of us that still favor him? Like why is he still so like he he has such a high approval rate Trump.

I don't know that. Well, I ain't gonna say you got a high appropri rate. He is doing better in his approvals than his people typically, like a lot of black people.

I don't know that. Well, I ain't gonna say you got a high appropri rate. He is doing better in his approvals than his people typically, like a lot of black people.

Mean literally, they put out a poll and I think his approval rating was fifty three percent.

Mean literally, they put out a poll and I think his approval rating was fifty three percent.

Talking about black people though, right, Yeah, so many that I can't I can't.

Talking about black people though, right, Yeah, so many that I can't I can't.

I can't explain it. I have no explanations. The only thing that I can say is that Number one, I'm happy to know that Trump is an anomaly. People continue to try to be the next Trump. They are not right. Like we've seen it with Desantus, he's not. We've seen it with Vek Ramaswami, he's not. Elon Musk. His numbers continue to drag him down. Right, for whatever reason, Elon's numbers go down and Trumps still kind of linger about the same orgo a little bit higher. I will say that there is a cultural aspect to Trump that is unique and unlike anything we've ever experienced. And I think that was another failure that we had in the campaign overall is to understand that he's different. He's different. This is a guy who's had his name on buildings forever, sure, and people have been like, oh, he owned it, Not really, his name is just on it, right, And so he's very good at creating this perception. He's created this perception of I am that guy, right, and he literally became the closest thing to Teflon done that we have seen, right, like who has this many cases in this many jurisdictions? And yeah, I know, but I'm just saying so, I think that from a cultural aspect, like he used to be talked about in rap songs and things like that, I think it's hard for you to then say, oh, no, he's a terrible person because there's been this kind of aura around him that was created, which may have been okay for TV, may have been okay for music, may have been okay for casinos, but it ain't okay in the Oval office. Like I need y'all to separate the two, like I don't need it to be that everybody that kind of walks in that lane is now somehow qualified to be president of the United States, because that's it takes different qualities, and I think that that's why it's been so hard to kind of tear him down, is because he's different. I don't think these people are necessary Republicans. I don't think they're necessarily going over to that side. I don't think they're necessarily MAGA. I think that they are just Trumpers, like period. And I think Maga's is supposed to be a movement. But I believe that once he is out of the way, right like, once he's out of the presidency, if he leaves, if he leaves Jesus, because he decided he a king now. But if he leaves the presidency, I don't see anybody else being able to take up the mantle he already said. Jd Vance ain't the one, Like I mean, there's nobody else that will be able to take up that mantle because he is unique. Child.

I can't explain it. I have no explanations. The only thing that I can say is that Number one, I'm happy to know that Trump is an anomaly. People continue to try to be the next Trump.

Yeah, right, So d e I helped her just f y I okay, because it didn't exist, and there were people that did not want a woman in the institution. But her father actually taught at the institution, and so she wanted to be just like her dad, and so they sued, they went to the courts so that she could get in as a woman. And now she is the very same woman that wants to do like a bunch of the same immigrants to somehow get over here, get their citizenship and then they like, forget everybody else coming behind me. She is the same. And so she claims that she's been a champion for women and that's why she's against trans people. But she forgets that she benefited from diversity, equity and inclusion like most white women, because white women are the vast majority of the beneficiaries of DEI policies. But that's all they is she But when she said let's take it outside, you know, I really want to be like, let's go now, I knew that I couldn't because again they would have been trying to expel me. And if the tables were turned, if I had said that to her, oh oh, the Karen would have been calling everybody to come through and come grab me, and they would have had me on the floor for an explosion for trying to incite violence against another member of Congress literally in a committee hearing. But instead they said, well, maybe she meant go outside for coffee. I do be thinking that's what they said.

We went to high school together.

We went to high school together.

No, well she's anyway. I'm not gonna cuss you said the economy she does, because South Carolina about to catch it, just like all these other ones, all of them, they're about to catch it the hardest. Like you think you're quote unquote owning the Libs. But guess what New York has money. Okay, guess what California has money? Right, the ones that are broke and need the money, the New York and California Bay into is you little red states down south? The vast majority of y'all. Y'all are the ones that are broken. Y'all are the ones that are constantly bleeding population as well. Right, Like, we know that these small states, like people are moving to the big cities, which tend to be in the bluer states, right where there are more opportunities. So but Nancy, you know, she now wants to want to take it outside because they going through all of that. No, she she just wants to try to elevate her name and her status. So she's allegedly talking about running for governor. Don't do it. Don't do it, South Carolina. But if you look into her, like she says so much staff that has resigned, she is consistently being accused of all types of inappropriateness when it comes to like sex stuff in general. So beyond her, well, i'll just say that in committee right in that same hearing, she was talking about quote unquote dicks with or chicks with correct. Yeah, so she was doing like all that kind of stuff. So she constantly like throws the word around and committee and that kind of thing. But she's also been accused of talking to staff about her sex life and making them uncomfortable, and so she's had staff resign alleging that she is very inappropriate.

He also did that with a lot of protections. So people don't know that if you go on the house floor, you can pretty much say anything and people can't suit you. It's the debate clause. Yeah, the the oh, I forget the other part of it. But anyway, what do you mean speech and debate? Speech and debate clause means that when you are in the chamber and you're on the floor and you say certain things, I can say something defamatory and I can't be sued.

Oh.

Oh.

So the theory is this is that she decided, now that she's getting ready for this gubernatorial she decided to kind of head off some potential bad headlines by going onto the house floor and accusing not one, not two, but three men of sexually abusing her and recording it and drugging her. So the thought is that maybe there's a sex safe that's about to come out, and so if she went on the floor, they can't do anything about it. Now she's not filed charges against any of them. She just went on the floor, made these accusations, but did not go and file a case against anybody. Now she files a case against somebody and she's found to be lying, that is a crime. But she could go on the floor and accuse them of whatever and they can't sue her. So interesting place to go and report, most.

Oh yeah, they wanted to see it like that. I don't know who it was, but we have Capitol police. We have the Capitol police following up on that because they called during working hours on a house phone and they were so smart that they didn't realize that all calls made on house phones are recorded, so it is recorded. We know which member's office it came from. It was a Republican out of Texas whose office it came from. And they they yeah, so they called my office and was like, yeah, this is what we want to see. Blah blah, blah blah blah. We're trying to place a bet. Some random staffer called my office. It's the audacity for I can see why.

They would want to see it, But this is what I'm saying.

Right, Do you think that Congress could get more done if y'all actually did their hands every now? Andy, No, just real quick, real quick, thirty seconds then get it out.

No.

No.

I do want to ask you this guy. I know you got to go. Why don't Democrats sit down? Chuck Schuman and Hakim Jefferies. They all represent the old way of doing things that don't work anymore? People like yourself, AOC, y'all know how to communicate, y'all know how to message. Why don't they let y'all be front tracing in the party? What are they holding on to? I know their positions, but forget the position. If they're not connecting with people, why are they the ones that are out front but not y'all?

What do you mean outfront? I think that I think you're you're referencing myself and AOC because we have been out front.

No, definitely, But when they talk about actual democratic leadership and who the leaders are, always always point to them because of the position that they're in.

But to me, that's just the position.

But to me, that's just the position.

I get it. And and both of us ran for leadership positions and we were rejected by our but.

That's because of those that's because of those people who represent an old way of doing things.

If they open their eyes and actually see what's going on in the world and who's connecting, who can lead us into the next generation.

Clearly it should be you. When people like AOC and leadership, I get it.

I will say that Hakim decided that I can't speak for the Senate because I don't know what all was going on over there. But Hakim decided to start a rapid Response team, which is something that I proposed when I was running to become our communications director, and so I am a part of that rapid Response team, and so it's just now starting to kind of take shape. And so basically my job is to officially kind of get out there and do some videos. I'm really supposed to do some lives with some other people that are on that rapid Response team, so that like when things happen in real time, we're responding. But another thing, I mean, there's just a lot that we could be doing. And I'm hoping that we get a lot more aggressive, right because I.

Think them, well, the need to get more aggressive.

Think them, well, the need to get more aggressive.

Well I'll say, well, well, I'll say, is that like, for instance, you know, there's been this kind of attitude of we can't deal with all the stuff that he got coming out, like we're not gonna be able to And I get that to a certain extent, but I do think that at a very minimum, it provides some semblance of comfort and confidence for the American people when they see us pushing back every single day. Yes, sure, and it may not be every single thing that he does in a day, but pushing back on like the thing of the day, right, Like we literally need to be like, okay, so this is the dumb thing for the day, right, Like just so a little even if it's five minutes, like this is the big one for the day, right, and we go after it. And so I think that we do have to get more aggressive and decide every single day like this is just what it is. Like I told my staff, I'm like, y'all had it good last term. I know y'all thought y'all didn't, but I'm like, we actually now have to work ten times harder than we did before, because we've got to make sure people understand how bad these policies are and what's happening. If we don't communicate it in real time, then we're doomed. That was the problem even when we were trying to get the White House back, is that we did not communicate in real time the good things we were doing. Now they're like, oh, wait a minute, those wait minutes. So the overdraft fees, that was Joe Biden that reduced it so it wasn't more than five dollars per overdraft. And now the Republicans have filed a bill saying, you know what, we want those overdraft fees to go back up, because again they're looking out for the rich people, not the people who was struggling. Who has overdraftees? Is it the rich people or is the people live in check to check? So the people they kept saying, oh, no, he's for the middle class. No he's not, No he's not. And they tried to convince you that the Democrats had done nothing, but they had. They had consistently done things for the middle class. It's just that. And so when even when Democrats are like, oh, we're not the party of the middle class anymore. Yes we are. Our policies are clear because overdraft fees, that's not for rich people. But now it is about to be for rich people. You know why because again we're seeing a government that wants to prey on those that are struggling so that others at the top can benefit to some ridiculous amount of money. And that's what we're about to go through. So I'm just like, listen, if you were broke and thought he was your guy, well God bless you.
