Melania Actually Just Did This

Welcome to the weekend. Read a welches lemonade. Production. All right, let's get to doing what we do best. Melania Trump is in the news. She appears to be embracing. Let me check my notes here, Don. D-E-I, pop this up, Kylie. Melania Trump's initiative for women appears at odds with D-E-I crackdown. Its name and mission also overlap with a company that left the United States after the administration sought to end corporate networking programs for women and people of color. So here is Melania. This is interesting. She's entered the news a couple times. Don, there was reporting that Donald was upset because Melania was upset with him for the deportations because some of her friends were getting deported. And then my favorite during Trump 1.0, remember her B-Bass, which was like her campaign to stop online bullying and her husband's the biggest online bully on the planet. These people just, there's no self-awareness. Yeah, there's no self-awareness. And the interesting thing too for me is that I was in the Louisiana last week and remember she went to LSU and I think they were, they partnered with her or something on this initiative, which is my alma mater. And the thing is, if she's helping people, if she's all for DEI, I'm okay with that. I'm not for hypocrisy. And I'm not for her not understanding that. And if she's going to do something that is going to help women of color or women in general, she should just remember that the number one, as you know, Jen, check the facts, the number one beneficiary of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are white women. Yeah. And so she should acknowledge that and she should also explain to her husband and especially Stephen Miller and others in the administration that what she's doing is pro diversity, equity, and inclusion, pro woman, pro black woman, and that she's okay with it. And if they want to call her woke, then by all means do it, but just be open and honest about it. I want her to condemn Donald Trump. I just, I think if you're going to be a messenger on this kind of stuff, you don't get to be a member of this administration. And then all of a sudden go, oh, we're for women, when the other women in this administration, like Katie Miller and all of the others are all about, you know, have more kids than you can afford. Kids are a blessing. Women are too focused on their careers. While Melania's laser focused on her career and signing cease fire agreements. I put that in parentheses. It's just the hypocrisy of all of this stuff. Well, this whole thing is about hypocrisy. The whole entire, this whole entire mega thing. You and I, you're from Oklahoma, I'm from Louisiana. We've been through Republican administrations. We're not, we're not unused to having, um, or living in red states. And knowing how Republicans operate, this is something completely different. This is trying to ban Muslims. This is trying to remove people from the streets. It's completely antithetical to our constitution and to what our republic is supposed to be about. And all of the things that they say that they're for, or all the things they say that they're against, they're for them. Melania, Trump and others, when it benefits them, when it is politically expedient for them, when it's professionally expedient for them, they say they, you know, we, we don't believe in diversity, equity, inclusion. What do you think Katie Zachariah was? What do you, what do you think, um, cash, Sean Duffy is? What do you think cash, Patel? Do you think all of those people are there in their definition, their definition of diversity, equity, inclusion? Those people are DEI hires because they're not qualified for their jobs. And the only reason they're there is to carry out what some sort of mission or, um, or agenda from MAGA. It's exactly right. I mean, it's, it's so exhausting covering these people because it's so obvious to me what's going on with Melania. She desperately wants to be a beloved person like Michelle Obama. She plagiarized Michelle Obama. Uh, Michelle Obama has just approval ratings that just soar. She is, uh, you know, Riz out the wazoo, right? You know, she's untouchable. She's untouchable. She's Harvard law, et cetera, et cetera. And so she's trying to make her, her, stamp as being a first lady. And so she rolls out these chicken shit initiatives, but my favorite of all time is this hypocrisy right here. So Donald Trump says, you know, thanks to me, you can say Mary Christmas again. The war on Christmas is over. Nobody would let you say it. Nobody celebrate a Christmas such bullshit. You are an atheist, right? Do you say Mary Christmas to people? All the time I put up two Christmas trees in my house. I love Christmas. But my favorite part about this is there is nobody that has fought harder against Christmas than Melania. Yeah. She's on tape saying who gives who gives a fuck about the Christmas? Who gives a fuck about the Christmas Donald work on his architecture and who gives a fuck about the Christmas? Like Donald Trump gives a fuck about Christmas. You know, it's just they they they they drum up all this bullshit stuff that hits hard with the people that think Donald and Melania are smart. All new drinks are now at McDonald's with refreshers like the strawberry watermelon refresher and the mango pineapple refresher with popping boba to grafted sodas like the Spriteberry blast with berry flavors and cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire. Six all new drinks are here now at McDonald's. Refreshers contain caffeine. Which by the way, have you seen she's rolling out another series that nobody wants? Nobody forgot about Melania the movie. Well, no, there's a new one now. Oh, what is it? Okay, she had Melania the movie now. Amazon is renewed and there's a Melania series coming out. I thought this was satire. I've been told that this is not satire. This is it all the time. Wait, is that okay? Wait a minute. She'll Obama have a photo like that. Is that a Michelle Obama photo that she has it with her? I thought that it was. No, she's plagiarizing somebody. You're it's not Michelle Obama. It's a white woman. It's Elizabeth home. That's what I was going to say. It's a woman. That's oh my gosh. Who advise it? Who told him that that would be a good idea? Was it the same people who like told him that it would be a good idea for him to do a press conference in front of the reflecting full of day before the election? Is it the same advisors? I don't think anybody advises them. I think Donald Trump says I'm going to do this and he's around so many idiot ass kissers that they go, sir, yes, sir. And I think Melania, she plagiarized Michelle Obama speech and I think she probably saw Elizabeth smart or not Elizabeth smart. Elizabeth Holmes is trending. And so then she was like, I like the black tartanet and then my hair up in in bun. I think it's nice image for for series. And nobody says, hey, you're going to this is not bad. You know, she's not she's a criminal. She's in jail. Yeah. Nobody says that to her. I think that's the problem. These people don't listen to other people. Yeah. It's giving inexperience and out of touch and not aware of what's happening. Actually, in the culture, do you think like, oh, that looks good, but you have to realize like, you know, where you are. Right. And if you're standing, I'm telling you, it's got to be the same advisors. If you are standing in front of the swampy thing that you messed up and you think that that's something great to do before election day, and then you get a picture and you, you know, basically do the same thing, you photographically plagiarize the Elizabeth Holmes. Yes. That's that's giving novice. It's giving desperate. It is. It's a can and what you want, you always want, you always want to when you're in that situation, you want to lead the culture. What Michelle Obama and the Obama administration were so good at doing was pushing the culture and setting their own trends, right? And and trending topics online, not just online, but in the culture. Melania Trump isn't doing that because she's following. And if you, if you look at the criticism that she gets because or her, the press that she gets for folks behind the scenes saying that they're livid or the president's livid because she's not on the cover of vanity fair. She doesn't get all the, you know, the fashion magazines and covers that other first ladies did. There's a reason for that. There's nothing that interesting about her. No, right? No, no, because what people don't, it's not just the beauty of the job. It's not just the trappings of a job, right? If you want to call being the first lady of job, and it is in a certain sense, it's what you do with it. Yeah. What initiatives, what real initiatives you have. And I think in this late stage, when he is a lame duck president, they're pushing a little bit of the press off to her. I think they're trying to set up a legacy for her because so far, she has none. Yeah. So they're sort of pushing it on the culture and it's not working. It's not. No. I mean, apparently, it's not working at all on the culture based on the fact that Texas is blue. It's a, Texas is a blue state. Texas is a, is a liberal state now. All right, let's move along. What is a two and they totally screwed up Florida? I'm telling you. We're going to get to that. All right. Okay. All right. So last week before the results, before the election, you, when I predicted that there was going to be an issue with Chuck Schumer and Hawkeam Jeffries, if the blue NAMI happened, we predicted it and we talked about it. And it has come to fruition. And it looks as though Chuck Schumer has facing massive, massive headwinds, and that more than likely, my gut is he's going to get replaced. Hawking Jeffries, it's a little trickier because nobody's running against him. Although some people are putting out Congresswoman Presley right now, and I love this woman. But nonetheless, this week, the Democrats sabotaged a vote to impeach, in my opinion, a man who's a war criminal, Pete Hexeth. They botched it. Yeah. They totally fumbled the bag, and it just makes me so fucking mad. And you mentioned last week that you thought, uh, Kim Lager-Dove would have been a great to pronounce that wrong. Yeah, Kim Lager-Dove. Kim Lager-Dove. You said, I think she would be a great speaker of the House. She's the Congresswoman from California, Sydney, Kamlager-Dove, yeah. She was asked last night to respond to this Democratic botch under Hawking Jeffries leadership. Play this clip, Kylie. We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up the steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues. Like it. This is what people have been talking about. You know this man should not be in this position. That's why he got up at 8 o'clock in the morning with his starry self to play to the American people. Hey, this is- you can't be doing this to me. This is so scandalous. Well, you're scandalous. You're doing stuff that's unconstitutional. It's not any legal. So you need to go. So shame off folks who are not here. Lever. Love it. Love it. Get your raggedy ass up there and vote. I had her live last night as we're taking this. I had her live and she went off. I just let her talk. She was- I had my Washington D.C. correspondent was there and they were standing on the capital steps and she went off and I just let them take it because she's 100% right. She's correct. A couple of things here. Pete Hicksett was desperate. Everyone thought he was going to be impeached, including Ted Cruz, who said he's 100% going to be impeached and then the Democrats fucked it up. And then Jonathan Jackson, who was Jesse Jackson's son, he is a congressman from Illinois. He was one of the people who did not show up. I had him on my show this morning and I held his speech with the fire and he said there's no excuse. I screwed up. They were saying it was an accident so people said they had medical things. Still, Hakeem Jeffries is a speaker. He went out and said I am 100% aboard with impeaching Pete Hicksett. That's one of the only things that he's really stood on. He stood on a couple of things but things that people, Democrats want. The newer voices, the people who want accountability and he said okay, no give me this. I think Pete Hicksett should be set to be impeached and then what happens. There's enough votes for him to- for them to at least push it towards impeachment and they don't show up. It was I was shocked because I was caught off guard because I was listening to the vote and I was like and they said okay, the vote is over like the vote is over that's been quick. One thing though, they did rush it. The Republicans did rush it because some of those members who were caught in traffic could have made it but still there's no excuse. You got to get to the church on time with this and can you imagine, Jen, before you? Can you imagine what kind of message that would have sent and how much it would have bolstered the people, not just liberals, not just, you know, Democrats, how much it would just bolster the spirits like oh my god, we're starting off. We're already moving toward an impeachment vote for someone who we all agree should not deserve the job and they fucked it up. They put on a master class as to why the Democratic approval rating is so low. Because we went out and voted in spite of the corporate Democratic leaders that we have right now and in order for Hawking Jeffries who I'm skeptical of because of all of the corporate donations that he has. Lots of APAC money, lots of big tech money, lots of paddy cake, private meetings with Jared Kushner. All of these things are red flags to me because I want to usher out the era of prostitution politics. In order for Hawking Jeffries to win over my support, it's just not as a podcast or just every day, you know, Democratic voter. I want to see bold action and the buck stops with him. They knew the day before that this vote was at that time at 530. The people that missed it were at a party hosted by the minority whip, W-H-I-P. She's supposed to whip votes. The party timing was from 430 to 630. At that point, if you're the minority whip, you say we've got to cancel this event that I'm hosting because we have to go to the very important job of moving this measure forward to impeach somebody that we believe is a war criminal. This is unacceptable and this makes me say, "Hawking, you're putting on a case that confirms all of the hesitation that everybody has that you're not fit to lead the Democrats." Okay. A couple of things that I want to say first about the Democrats and then about Hawking Jeffries. Let's talk about the Democrats first. You're right. Because I always say Democrats aren't great at messaging and politicking. They're good. They're actually good when they get into. They're good at governing because all the right policies and they get things that Republicans don't usually do that. If you look at one of the members who came out the Republican guy, the guy with the cigar forget his name all the time, he said, "What did we get as Republicans? We got nothing but the big beautiful bill and what did we do with that? We did nothing about it." Right? And I was like, "Wow, for him to say that." Okay. And I think this is what I say about Democrats, Democrats, there's no excuse. I can't make an excuse for them not doing this. You asked the people of the United States, the citizens of the United States to go out and vote regardless of rain, sleets, snow or shine, whatever the weather was, whatever they had to do with their jobs, whether they had child care, whatever it is in their schedule. You said there's no excuse, you got to get out and vote and you have to change this. You didn't do the same thing that you were asking your constituents to do. You should make time on your calendar because this was a really important messaging thing. Now, I've been around long enough to know that where was it going to go? Wasn't it really going to go anywhere? This was really all about messaging, but who knows, maybe it would have changed some minds, maybe it would have pushed momentum in a different direction. But this was mostly a procedural thing because they're not in the majority yet. They're going to be in the majority in January and in January I think you will, I do believe that you'll see. I can jump in real quick, but it's important to put that on the Republicans as a failure, not on the Democrats. 100%. 100%. You're right about that. Now, think about Hakeem Jeffries that I want to say is, I saw your interview with Charles a blow, who is my friend, and I agree with him mostly, but there's a caveat for me. I do believe that Hakeem Jeffries has cover for being the first. I think the people of America gave him a mandate to be able to maybe lean forward and do more than people, and not be really constrained as much about firsts. People who have the job first where there is no road map and there's no legacy for them. I do believe that where we are in this country now, that he has more of an opportunity to lean in because people want accountability. If you look at how President Obama, I believe, has really evolved on his strategy, I think that gives him cover to do it and not to be so worried about being, I'm the first black man that have never done this, okay, we get that. Take this moment and use whatever wins you have at your back in order to be able to push forward. Now, I don't think he's going to be a bad speaker of the house. I think Hakeem Jeffries is really good at whipping people, so for that thing last night I don't know what happened. I think he's good at the mechanics of what it takes to be a leader, because he's going to have to raise money, but he's not great at messaging. He's not really that great at whipping either. His opposition whipping has not been good. There were a lot of times about funding for ICE and packages for Israel that they deployed what people refer to as the rotating villain strategy, where, and I think this is where he gets conflicted with his donors, and you see him deploying this when the vote or the resistance, the whip to vote now or yes, or whatever it is, intersects with his interest of his donors and he has had a lot of donors and here's where I am on the whole donor thing. If a politician that has been in the game a long time has taken a pack money, big tech, big oil at some point, and now they say, I'm out of that game. I played that game because I wanted to compete with Republicans. I wanted to have a war chest to get elected. Now we've shown that taking corporate money is so toxic with voters. It's the biggest gift and I'm not taking any corporate money anymore. I work for the American people. If they make that public statement and genuinely don't take money anymore because let's face it, being a politician would suck. I mean, you're always out in it. You know, always I can be, I can show that person grace and say, okay, they're willing to go to bat. Like a prime example is Chris Murphy. He used to take a lot of money and now he's said, I'm shifting more towards like the Bernie Sanders style politician now. So I'm like, okay, fair enough. And there's a lot of people in the house. I haven't seen that from Hockey. I think that, look, I can't disagree with you on that. My point is, is that I want to see if he does that. I think maybe right now he's being a bit too careful. And again, I agree with you on that, taking all money is not good money, but you do need money in politics. That's an unfortunate thing right now. And Citizens United, we can blame, that's, it's a blame for that. but I cannot as my friend. DL Hugley and I had a conversation about this and I was kind of where you are for close to where you're not exactly where you are and we had this conversation on stage at one of our events and he said, "Look, I understand what you're saying and I don't disagree with you done, but I cannot judge a person for a job when they've never had the job." He hasn't had the job yet as speaker. Now whether you think he should get the job, that's a whole different thing. So I can't judge his performance as speaker when he's never had that job. I can judge Chuck Schumer because Chuck Schumer has been the leader for a while. He's been the majority and minority leader for a while. He's been leading the Democratic Party. So I can judge Chuck Schumer, however, I think if Hakeem, when he and he should, he has the opportunity, he should say similar things to what you're saying. He should understand that's where the culture is moving, whether they realize that or not. And so I think I feel that you should give him the opportunity to be able to say that even before he has a job, excuse me, even before he has a job and if he doesn't, and then you can judge him, but he has not said it yet. And I have been pushing him, quite honestly, his people to come on and I said, "If you come on, you got to answer all these questions. You got to answer the APAC question. You got to answer the Jared Kushner question." He's got to. You got to directly and expand not only that you have to explain to people why you're the best person for the job, what you have done in the position that you're in now. As you said, if you believe that you helped to architect this whole thing for Democrats congressional, explain to people what you did and why they are missing something by not understanding that. Maybe they just don't know, but you tell me what you've done. Yeah. So, you know, that's where I stand. People may agree or disagree. I do know Jen. I do agree with Charles in a way what it's like because for me there was no roadmap. I was the first anchor out on a major network. Rachel Maddo was out, but back then Rachel wasn't Rachel. She was a completely, it was different. Now she's Rachel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We love her. Yeah. But she was out. But then like as a black man. Yeah, yeah. She could come out and then go, oh my God, am I going to lose my job or people going to protest the network? Am I just going to have to fade off into the sunset because of coming out? So I understand that fear. But as I said, in this moment, he's got cover and I don't think he sees that he's too close to it. Yeah. And I want to be, you know, sensitive to that and I want to see people of color represent us. The things about the victory on last Tuesday is that the governing class looks like America. You know, you see there's more women than there ever has been. More people of color than there ever has been. People, Native American, all the flavor of America and that's what we need in representation. So I think that criticism, if you want to be in a big chair, criticism is good. If you want to run for President of the United States, you want to be Speaker of the House. You want to be Senate majority leader. You have to take the incoming heat of transparency. And I think the resounding victory message from this is 88% of voters are very concerned about corruption. And there's an overlap, corruption, meaning money and politics. That's what it is. Trump doing, getting a bunch of money out of all of his politics right now. So that is something that I think voters holding him accountable. He should welcome. And I hope that he gets where and you've you know this. I didn't know this before I got into this business, but you know this, it's completely different. When you have on a politician that takes a lot of corporate pack money. And then when you have on somebody who takes zero. You can just act like I'd Robert Garcia on and this week and you can just ask him anything. There's no email before there's nothing you can ask him any question on the plate. They don't have to code switch their answers depending on if they're talking to donors, the press, or the electorate. They have the same answers across the board. And it's the very same thing as us now. People who are in corporate media and people who aren't. I could never say most of the shit that I say now I could not say I'd have to, I'd have to sort of wrap it into something or because I was working within a system. And it's something very similar that I'm saying about Hacking Jeffries. He's working within a system and he needs to free himself from that. Okay. And I think that I think that I hope that he does because if you've, I don't know if you've ever been to a DL and DL show that I do, there is a video that runs of me and DL and about our relationship and it shows a lot of CNN clips and I look at that person and I go who was that? Because everything I said it was so I was, I was saying it, but I was, but I was way out in front of everyone else, but yet still I was buttoned up. And then I look at me as opposed to DL and now I'm closer to what, what I see a DL in those tapes that I am now just, look, this is bullshit. Can we just cut you a thing? When I say people are talking about Iran, right, it's the Iran war. I said, but at the bottom of the Iran war, you know what that is, they're talking about Israel and they're talking about Gaza and it's like, so can we get to that without like screwing around the issue? And you can't do that in that sort of structure. You can, their ratings would be better, it wouldn't be collapsing, but people feel that they can't because of, yeah, they're listening to the wrong people. This is why I just, in my guts, I hear you, I do too, I hear you about Hakeem and I always want to be a really good ally and I don't want to be insensitive to that, the issue of the first and his personal accomplishments to ascend, I really, I, but I, in my gut, in my intuition, we need leaders right now that can tell corporate donors to go fuck themselves that they're going to, and this is why I really like that Congresswoman, Presley, I just, she took on that rest vote, I mean, she read him for filth, she, I just, I love her. So at the bottom of what I'm saying is, whether you or I, whoever, whether we like it or not, the Democrats who are the establishment are going to decide who it has to do. Yeah, you're right. And I don't, and I think the people should have more of a say in it. And I think that, I think that they ignore or discount the voices of the new, the new voices in the people who don't want businesses as usual, they ignore that at their own peril, okay? And I think that I am right now, I want to, I want to make sure that we get something accomplished without becoming hysterical about every single thing. So if Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the leader and it looks like that's going to happen, Chuck Schumer, I don't know, I'm not so sure about, then we have to figure out how we push him to do the right thing because you're going to get more from him, whether he's the leader you want or not, then you are from Mike Johnson or from Jim GYM Jordan without his, so that, you know, that's just remember Republicans fall in line, they hated Donald Trump. They hated him. And they fell in line and he became the president of the United States and look what happened. So you may not like Hakeem Jeffries and I'm not saying don't voice your opinion about him. You certainly should, all of those people online calling the offices, that is your first amendment right. But also you have to work within reality and the reality is, is that he is unopposed. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, and on the Senate side, let's see what Christopher Van Holland does. Maybe he's going to, maybe he's going to do something and maybe Chuck, the other thing to about Chuck is that, give somebody else a chance. I've had it with Chuck. It just hits him right. Hit the brakes, Chuck. You remember, do you remember when, and I'm sure you were with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, oh my God, icon love, but ma'am, madam, God rest her soul. Diane Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, just give him will his, that's out there. He can't, he's not, he's nonverbal. Give somebody else a chance. It's vegetable boy out there voting in the Senate like this shit's crazy. Yeah. All right, you, you mentioned Chuck Schumer and I will never forgive Chuck Schumer for his very irresponsible, corporate aligned neglect with one Angie Nixon in Florida, a black woman, a single mother who is running for all the right reasons, who is more in touch with the American public than every member of Congress combined, who has the, you know, pull up from the bootstrap that Republicans talk about they could never do it the way this lady does. She had barely any money and the main national star Democrat that helped her was Bernie Sanders and he poured everything into this woman and barnstormed the state with her and gave her some money from his war chest. She beat a guy that was Chuck Schumer's picked, picked, named Alexander Vindman. She kicked his ass with hardly any money. Alexander Vindman had seven million dollars remaining in his war chest and it's my understanding it's customary at that point for that money to have been transferred to Angie Nixon. It was not. She was pleading with Chuck Schumer to get money. She got platitudes, and she came within two minutes. two points Florida should have 48 right 48 50 steps to live in two points within two points she and so she was on your show this week. And she spoke directly about Chuck Shimmer's failure to help her. Let's play this clip, you know, black women, especially black people are seen as the backbone of the party. And so they need to not only invest one invest in our labor. So to speak, they need to really invest in our leadership. And so again, it was just a really missed opportunity. And we need to have some tough conversations. She's right, it's, it's, to me, it's what she said there in that very short clip is so important. 90% of black women vote for everybody because they have no choice. And so their vote helps everybody and their vote is just for fucking survival, right? But it benefits talk about like a trickle up benefit. And they carry the democratic party with moral clarity. And it should have been a massive, massive, massive, when they saw her get within five, they should have rolled out the red carpet, green carpet, I should say, with money. And now reporting has come out both Republican and democratic operatives in the state of Florida have set had the National Democratic Party invested in her and Jolly, that state would have been blue. I agree. And she said to me that Chuck Schumer gave her $5,000. And I think that was his personal thing, the limit. But she said that so fucking patronizing, by the way, yeah, it should have been $5 million minimum, right? Right, right. But I think he personally from his could only get $5,000. But here, this is a thing for me, look at all the money that they, how much money Haley Stevens got. He was, you mean, maggot, maggot Steven? Yes, she was also Chuck Schumer's pick, like how much money she got, he got, she got and look how much money, binman got all Schumer's pick. I look, I do believe it had something to do with her political beliefs. She criticized Israel. Yes, let's just let's just rip the bandite off and say what it is, her stance. And he didn't, he, so he did not lean in for her. That's right. He's on tape saying my number one job as a Senate leader is to make sure Israel gets every cent they can get at the expense of an American woman working her fucking ass off down in Florida, barnstorming the state. It makes me so insane. But it's not just that the expense of an American woman. It's at the expense of Americans in general at large because if they're going to say, you know, that we, we live here and our allegiance is here, then it should be about the American people and about how much money we're spending on a war and what and the reasons behind that war. And I think that Americans tax paying Americans have the right to be able to question where their tax money is going. And whether you agree with it or not. And that is not anti-Semitism. Now there is their anti-Semitism. Of course, you and I know that. There are a lot of anti-Semitic fuckers in this world. Of course. But people have the right to be able to question that. And look, Chuck Schumer is very aligned with a pack. And very aligned with Jewish causes. And she was critical of that. And I do, I do personally believe that it had influence over how he supported because he didn't initially obviously support else I had, right? So, um, look, Angie Nixon told me personally, if they had even just Wednesday before the week before or a couple of weeks before, no, I'm sorry. She said in September, so she said they got money. Maybe the day before like the Wednesday before something like that, they started giving her some money. She said, had they started giving us money in September, they would have won. Think about what she did without that support. She came within two points. If that doesn't show them that they fucked up, then I don't know what will. And look again, I, I think it's time for Schumer to, I don't think he should leave office because the people voted for him in his district. But I think it's time for him to let somebody else can't he just cannot he cannot he's so out of touch. I can't even believe it's even a conversation. I think it's selfish of him. When he knows he has a 13% approval rating, I think it's selfish and arrogant for him to not say, I get it. This is a different thing. This is a different beast. You all want more than somebody who can write a strongly worded letter. Think about how rigorously maggot rolled Schumer and Hakim when they go in and sit down in the oval, thinking they're going to make some deal. They just baited a man so they can make memes about him and put some braero hats on him. This is different. You cannot show up with a pen and paper and fight these fascists. You cannot take money from the same people that are funding these fascists. Chuck Schumer is a fascist collaborator. And Angie Nixon is the opposition. She's a she's a fascist collaborator exposure. She exposed it. She puts shines the light on it. And Chuck Schumer doesn't want that because he wants to protect and preserve this fucked up system that got us here. Numbers don't lie. As much as maggot wants to tell us that one plus one equals four, it does not. The numbers in Florida don't lie. If Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party would have given more assistance and resources to Angie Nixon, there's no way that you can tell me that she would not have won a black progressive liberal Democrat in Florida coming within two points without the assistance of the party. Come on. And what it says, it sounds to me, it's giving. I would rather somebody else win. I don't know if that was his intention, but I would or their intention. I would rather somebody else win than someone who doesn't have my my ideological beliefs. I would rather someone else win. Even though it may be suggesting that maybe they're not the blue no matter who. I don't know. I'm just saying because if I'm not anywhere near a politician or a Democrat or whatever. And I can see the writing on the wall as an independent like damn, this woman is working her ass off. She is making things happen there. There is she has momentum there. I just I should have jumped in. I should have even more so. This is the time where you lean in and you look at somebody's color and you look at somebody's gender. And this is the time, you know, where you hear a lot of white people will say, well, I never see color. No, look at that and see and see her color and see her gender and hear her story and see her pulling herself up by the bootstraps in a minivan barnstorming estate, getting that much support, getting that much national attention with zero dollars, comparatively speaking, the Democratic Party, especially, especially audit to black women to have Angie Nixon's back. Let me tell you just a disconnect for this. When she was on the show, she said that she got criticized for dancing at a rally. Oh, we love it. We love it. Okay, he doesn't get criticized for dancing. I mean, people make fun of him, but they don't go, okay, whatever. She got criticized for singing a rap song. In the meantime, Vivek Wal-Maswami is out singing Eminem. That doesn't even a rapping Eminem. And when I saw it, I was like, well, maybe he is white because he's fairly terrible. And then you got what's her name? Hyde Smith, sing it out on a campaign trail. And they're not criticizing her, but they got Marsha Blackburn acting like she's fucking what's his name? Kendrick Lamar. Right. And not there. So they don't see it. So you see the racism there. 100% too. So it's obvious. Like I said, the numbers are obvious. And that is obvious. And by the way, do you know the toll it took on her? You ever watched my entire interview? I did. She. I know. It was, I felt like she was in therapy. I will never forgive Chuck Schumer for this. She said, she said, I was at a CVS today, Don. And she said, she said, I'm in New York. And I was at a CVS today. And I saw this man laying on the street. He was an unhoused person in his own urine. And she said, and people were just walking by in the cops are standing there. Like it was just normal any other day. And she said, that really touched me. She goes, that's why it works all hard for that. And I said, yeah, because people just were anured to it. I'm not speaking for it. Sometimes I am too, right? And then she said, this is running. Cause trouble for my relationship. She said it was touching go for my marriage for a while. Yeah, child care. She said, my husband is running a business. She said my friend or someone in her family or someone tried to commit suicide. And she said, I was dealing with all of that. And then I have someone like JD Vance out there saying that I should get out of America. And she's running to try to help people in America. They're rich people. She's not rich. She's, she's in debt now. And so I just, so let's talk about you. You wouldn't forgive him. I can understand why I just I can't because I feel like that should have been a major investment when she get, if somebody's, you know, 12 points behind or whatever I get that, I understand the politics of putting the money where we, where you can get a w when she gets within five and you see our real party leaders like Bernie Sanders, who's never had to income on any interviews because to any crowd, any participants who change his opinion, he doesn't have to code switch as politics, down there working his ass off for her, endorsing her. It just, it makes me so upset that how neglected she was. And especially, I think that the Democratic Party needs to invest in the people that consistently save us. And black women rolled out and saved us. I'm glad you said that because I've been saying the same thing. Well, I've known it, but I've been more vocal now. Stop discounting and underestimating black people. Stop coming around to, and I guess what, at their own peril, because people have figured it out now. Stop coming around when you have a campaign and when you're running for things and you're trying, you want the black support and you're like, you're in the black church and you're swaying, you're going to all the the cookouts and you're doing the whole thing. Stop it because without without the black vote, the Democrats would not have won. No, not have won. No, the black vote, you would not have won. So have some respect, I say, not only for the for black voters, especially for black women, but also in this time, the folks are us who are in the independent space, also for black media, especially independent. Yeah. Everyone wants to use everyone wants to use our platforms to come on and talk about their issues and do and no support, no sponsorships, DNC doesn't do ads on our networks. They go to the corporate networks and they do them. And many times they do it on the on the broadcasters or even on the right. They'll put ads. They don't do it for us. And so for us, a giving them a platform because this is independent. We don't have to. We're not bound by the same rules or whatever that corporate media are bound by. And so for you to come on and then go, okay, great. Thank you. And then go away. It's like, okay, then where's our support? Because we certainly don't have the support that the folks who are on the right, you know, just out there, we don't have that support. And Democrats don't work that way. They're not cultish like the right. So, you know what I'm saying? Which within that, I'm glad you kind of closed on that because we were running out of time. But this is what I think is so important is that we, as we continue with Welch's lemonade, it's as the Democrats take the majority. It's our time to shine a light on things that they can improve upon. If Hockiem gets the gavel and he's not whipping votes, we're going to call him out on it. We're not going to be like the cult. And so I think that obviously it's incredible what happened in the country last Tuesday. And I want to see Democrats say, oh my God, we've got to hold Texas. We need to eliminate Ted Cruz. He can no longer be the lone Republican in the lone star state. Crickets for Rafael. And we need to figure out Angie Nixon needs to run for Senate in two years and snatch that other seat and keep start the pressure campaign now because she needs to be in the Senate. She needs to be in politics. And we have to start now for what happens two years from now. She said that she wasn't sure she's going to run. Maybe she would organize on my show and I said, no, no, no. She got it right. We need you. You have to run. She's exactly what we need. She's the exact country. I agree with you. All right, we love you guys. Well, just eliminate. See you next week.
