Speaker 1 (00:00):
Texas Cong's woman Jasmin Crockett continuers the blast Donald Trump
(00:03):
and it's called President Elon Musk. Today, she was on
the view and shut down former Donald Trump aid Alyssa
Pharrah Griffin.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Who confronted her with Donald's approval ratings.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
For all of the criticisms that exist of Donald Trump,
here right now has a fifty three percent approval rating.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's higher than it's ever been.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Seventy percent believe that he's fulfilling his promises, and forty
five percent believe Democrats should be more moderate.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
What do you take away?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I think there's a lot to make of those numbers.
What's your takeaway from that?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
My takeaway is, just like the election, we've got to
do better at education. People don't understand, but you will
understand when those hospitals in rural America start closing down
even more. You will understand when you don't have your
Social Security. You will understand when your Medicaid, your Medicare
goes away.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You will understand as.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Planes continues to fall out of the sky. Soon you
will understand why it's important to maybe have somebody that
isn't loud and ridiculous and maybe sleepy Joe is what
we wanted because we could at least sleep at night.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, on Tuesday, Shoes on MSNBC and explain to Ali Velshi.
While the midterms are critically important to keep Elon Musk
from getting richard and raping and pillaging the American.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
People, a lot of people are talking about, you know what,
we just are looking forward to the midterms. We only
need three more seats. I'm sure everybody's tired of getting emails,
text messages, phone calls trying to raise money. But the
reality is that we have an opportunity right now. I
know that a lot of people look at these seats
that are available, which there's going to be a total
of three, and they say these are deep red seats.
(01:39):
But here's the thing. We saw that in the state
of Iowa they swung a seat twenty seven points so
that a Democrat could win.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I say, we have nothing to lose. We need to
go out.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
We need to talk to those people that finally understand
that the only mission that Donald Trump has is making
sure that he can line his pockets, line Elon's pockets
in any other build millionaire, all at our expense. It's
not just going to be the people you dislike that
are going to miss out on their Medicare Medicaid or
their social Security or down in the state of Florida
(02:12):
where two of these seats are, they are talking about
getting rid of FEMA.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It is time to wake up.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And it doesn't mean that you're a Democrat if you
vote Democratic leader.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
So this is where I want to get to. Who's
the audience to swing some of these states. Is it
progressives who understand that their priorities are being crushed or
is it people who voted Republican, to whom you say
you didn't vote for this, did you? You didn't vote
for Elon Musk and a guy named big Balls to
have your documentation? How does that message get out there
(02:42):
in a way that that entire audience hears.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I think that you're right, definitely, the entire audience. I
just don't know how many progressives exist in Matt Gate's
former districts, right, But I do think that there are
farmers in that district, farmers that are concerned because they
rely upon on monies as it relates to USAID and
other monies that are now being dismantled, and it means
(03:07):
that you may lose your family farm. It may be
bought up by a corporate organization. And so I think
just having very real conversations. We've seen people who have
talked about, well, we don't want you firing the people
at the VA, or maybe it's somebody that has to
fly all the time and they're concerned because we have
a record number of planes literally falling out of the
(03:28):
sky because he decided he was going to appoint some
guy from Fox to be over transportation. But at the
end of the day, there were those that never believed
that we could end up with two senators in the
state of Georgia, and we did. There were those that
never believed we could have a Democrat representing Alabama, and
in that special election, we did. So I think if
(03:50):
there's any point in time that the people should rise
up and figure out where should I focus my attention,
it's on these special elections, and it's having real conversations
on the doors with real people talking about what's really
happening and not the lives that they're putting out there.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Zachary, I take you luck when you heard there.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I love it every time. I'm so thankful to have
the Crocket chronicles. She is speaking absolute truth and she's
spitting pure fire, and that is exactly what we see
from more of our Democratic leaders. But beyond that, we
need to see the messaging in a way that is fresh,
that it's innovative, and that's reaching the people. And that's
what Jasmine is doing continuously. That's the level of education
(04:35):
that the candidate that we had talked about earlier about
we need more education. That is the education that we
need to have out there, and those are the kind
of people we need continuously. On the rap response, Jazz,
we can't do it all. She can't do it by herself,
and she can't reach every single American voter who needs
that mystery, but there are people in Congress who will
be underutilives that we see being put in the forefront.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Joy.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Let me tell you I have been saying it every
time I talk about her on this show, rinse and repeat.
We need that kind of fire from so many Democrats.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
It doesn't have to be every one of them. People
do it differently, but.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
When people see Jasmine Crockett, they know she is fighting
for them, and she does so brilliantly.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Right.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
She understands the rules, she understands the subject matter, the policy,
but she does it in a way that communicates in
a normal way to normal humans, in a way that
it shows passion. That's what we're missing, that's what we're
looking for, and everyone can appeal to that. And so
to me, I just want more of that. I mean, frankly,
(05:40):
I don't think the Democratic Party made the right choice
and how it's you know, currently set up. It used
to be they had sort of two leaders, right, one
that was political and would be out there talking, a
forward facing person, and that one that was just sort
of dealing with party politics in the background. I think
we may need to, you know, bring back that kind
of bifurcated little.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What are you talking about, Well, all the job they
do have that what do you what do you know?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
They don't have that? They do not have.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
The Democratic Party, the DNC itself is not is not
the same two headed monster.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
It used to be.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So what do you what? What what do you mean? Okay,
explain what do you mean? It was?
Speaker 8 (06:18):
So? Hold on?
Speaker 7 (06:19):
When I was there, it was two it was a
two chairs, right. You had someone who was sort of
the outward facing public person and then someone.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Who did the work, who was behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So so so no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Who was that?
Speaker 7 (06:33):
So at the time, it was, oh my god, I
can't remember. It was an a boring guy that was inside.
And then there was a governor who was out. Who
was the external person. I believe it was the governor
who was an external white guy. My point is one
person was a communicator and one person was behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay, but but okay, here's what I don't understand. Here's
what I'm understanding. Here's what I'm confused. You just had
the election and elected the chair. They got multiple they
got multiple vice chairs.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
So oh yeah, vice chairs are not the people that
are going to be the public facing voice of the
Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Why not? Like okay, so let me hold up.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
It's an elected official.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
She is someone who knows how to communicate. She is
someone who brings her own press. She is someone who
understands how to communicate to the American people.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
We need that. It's not a knock on everyone. Everyone
has a different skills.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, So okay o, holdo, heldo. So this is what
I'm looking at right here.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Kim Martin is the chair.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Raina Walters Morgan is a vice chair for Safety well no, no,
wait wait wait wait wait raina Is Vice chair, Facilian
Engagent and ICI patient, Malcolm kN Yata Vice chair, hell
of a Communicator, Artie Blanco Vice chair, David Hogg Vice chair,
Hell of a Communicator, Jason Rays, Secretary, Jumia McGregory, Treasurer,
Chris Corge, National financi Chaer, Jane Cleeve as DC president.
(07:53):
You got Chuck Schumer, you Hakim Jeffries. So it's not
like you don't have communicators there, and so I don't.
It's not data and again that's that's that's like no,
no no, but she's not no no but but no
no but joy, but joy Joy.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They're members of Congress, they're not d n C.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Yeah, we need listen. Nobody, the American people don't know
who those people are. I'm sorry on this one.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Wait wait wait wait, I'm confused. I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay, okay, Malcolm Kenya does a ton of media.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
He's an elected official Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So I'm trying to understand the view.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
No I understand, okay, okay, hold on hold, no, no,
hold you just said the dn No no, no, I'm
saying I'm repeating your words. You said, the d n
C needs to had a public facing person and somebody
who are in the party.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's the d n C. She's elected.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So the reality is the reality is the reality is
the party. You need folks who do what they do,
but you can have people who are communicators on who
are elected.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You can have both vice chairs.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I'm not asking us to not have vice chairs. What
I'm saying is have someone out there who can communicate
to the American people, who can get on Morning Joe,
who can get on Fox News, who can get on
wherever they are needed to go, and to be able
to communicate with people.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We So is it that? I mean? Is it that?
Is it that? Ken Martin?
Speaker 8 (09:27):
We okay, Ken Martin, Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
No, I'm no, no, I'm asking you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Isn't that his isn't that his job is the chair.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Yes, that is his job as the chair.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
But he is not going to be able to get
the press, to be able to be the It may
not be his skill. Sometimes we need to stop looking
for everything and everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, no, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll
gain no. But you you specifically said the party, the
DNC Crockett is not a d NC leader.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She's a member of Congress.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
We would do better if she were a d n
C leader. We need people like that.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, hell, why does she need to be This is
what I understand. Why does she to be a d
NC leader. Well, she's a member of Congress. You don't
need a member of Congress. A member of Congress, that
is an actual job. No the wait, wait, wait, wait wait.
She has to serve the.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Seven hundred thousand constituents of her district. I'm one of them. Okay,
my homestead is there. That's her job.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Why can't you have her here and other people over
here on the DNC. Why does she need Why do
you need a member in both?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Look?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When Tim Kaine was a chair, I thought that was idiotic.
When Debbie Wasserman Schultz was a chair, I thought that
was wrong. I don't think you can be a member
of Congress and be the party leader at the same time,
because that's two separate jobs.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
But but ps I didn't say that they would be
only one of them. I said too. I've been saying too.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
I'm saying someone that runs the party on the inside
and then the person who's out there speaking.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
That's the way it used to be. Go back and
look it up. So I'm just saying, to me, we
ought to revert.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
We ought to have some kind of system where we
can draw on people to have different skill sets.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The reason, the reason I don't understand that to.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Be Jasmin Crockett.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
No, I'm just saying, she's the kind of She's the
kind of person and the kind of voice that when
people are looking to the Democratic Party and they're saying,
I want someone who reminds me of myself, who can
speak for me, who can fight for me, they're looking
for someone like that.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
So kudos to her.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
I love your Jasmine chronicles. More of it and we
need more. We could have an AOC Chronicles. We could
have a couple of different people who are out there
speaking to the American people in a way that they
can receive it in a way that is sustinct and
that we understand. And those are not always the people
who are leading us and who are sort of the
party movers and shakers.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Okay, Zacher, go ahead, takeaway from this is exactly what
everyone is saying. But I think it's like the nomenclature
kind of like who it should be. But the bottom
line is we have got to have more diverse voices
across the party being platformed. I personally don't believe that
legacy media outlets are going to be of any help.
They have chosen to not be. They have made a
(12:33):
choice at MSNBC and CNN and places that used to
be committed to truth and oppodium democracy to go in
different direction. There is nothing that I think Democrats like
Malcolm Kanyata can do to garner more good press, even
if his popularity rose to the level of Jasmine, because
they're going to platform with you on a platform. But
it doesn't mean that the Democratic Party can't put those
(12:55):
kind of voices out there. We have our jazz, we
have our aocs, but we have to have more people
in leadership positions get out in there to make those
rounds on independent press and all throughout the whole entire
stratosphere to get the missjail. I think that's kind of
what I'm hearing is that we need more people. One
person isn't enough. We need more Jazmines out there being
(13:15):
spread around and really, to be honest with you, using
platforms like this to get the message out. But as
millions of followers to DN right now. They need to
be here.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Political says titles are irrelevant to me. Three relevant. At
the end of the day, I don't care if you
are a labor leader, if you are a member of Congress,
if you're a DNC vice chair, or I don't care
if you were to pack or whatever. If you have
a coherent message that resonate with people, it doesn't matter.
(13:51):
The point I'm making is I think you need you
need Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett doing exactly what she does when
she's doing when she has her five minutes in a hearing,
when she is being called to do national shows.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's great. But here's the other thing that we just
got to understand. We understand television.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You gonna book who brings ratings, and the reality is
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Matter where they're coming from.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You. If congress Woman Jasmine Crockett wasn't in Congress and
she was bringing the heat and she's on the DNC,
she gonna get a booked. And a member of Congress
is not gonna get a booked. Hell, there members of
Congress who are boring as hell. Who I'm not gonna
book because they not bringing it, so it doesn't even
matter to me. I'm not just being straight up to me.
(14:39):
What we're dealing with here is you have to have
multiple voices, but you need people who are doing the work.
And what I'm saying is the work of the party,
whether it's DNC or the GOP, it goes beyond a
television appearance.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's actual work.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How are you organizing, how are you mobilizing, how are
you building up, how are you winning special elections? How
are you fundraising? So the jobs to me are totally different.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
So names are irrelevant to a lot of people. I
know names are relevant to us because we know all
these people, But when it comes to boots on the ground,
they don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
They just want to be They just want to know
that everything is going to be okay.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
We need Look if jas mccroft, if you're listening, not
just damn if she's listening. I just truly wish that
she was my congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We need more congress people like her.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
The DNC, I assume that their thing is to get
the boots on the ground, to get people motivated out there,
round people up.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's what I'm.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Assuming that their goal is, but again, people are not
going to recognize it too.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
They're not. They just want to be able to hear
the mesters.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
They want to know what's going on, and they want
to know that somebody's there to represent them and that
everything is going to be okay.

to be they had sort of two leaders, right, one
that was political and would be out there talking, a
forward facing person, and that one that was just sort
of dealing with party politics in the background. I think
we may need to, you know, bring back that kind
of bifurcated little.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What are you talking about, Well, all the job they
do have that what do you what do you know?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
They don't have that? They do not have.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
The Democratic Party, the DNC itself is not is not
the same two headed monster.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
It used to be.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So what do you what? What what do you mean? Okay,
explain what do you mean? It was?
Speaker 8 (06:18):
So? Hold on?
Speaker 7 (06:19):
When I was there, it was two it was a
two chairs, right. You had someone who was sort of
the outward facing public person and then someone.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Who did the work, who was behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So so so no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Who was that?
Speaker 7 (06:33):
So at the time, it was, oh my god, I
can't remember. It was an a boring guy that was inside.
And then there was a governor who was out. Who
was the external person. I believe it was the governor
who was an external white guy. My point is one
person was a communicator and one person was behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay, but but okay, here's what I don't understand. Here's
what I'm understanding. Here's what I'm confused. You just had
the election and elected the chair. They got multiple they
got multiple vice chairs.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
So oh yeah, vice chairs are not the people that
are going to be the public facing voice of the
Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Why not? Like okay, so let me hold up.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
It's an elected official.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
She is someone who knows how to communicate. She is
someone who brings her own press. She is someone who
understands how to communicate to the American people.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
We need that. It's not a knock on everyone. Everyone
has a different skills.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, So okay o, holdo, heldo. So this is what
I'm looking at right here.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Kim Martin is the chair.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Raina Walters Morgan is a vice chair for Safety well no, no,
wait wait wait wait wait raina Is Vice chair, Facilian
Engagent and ICI patient, Malcolm kN Yata Vice chair, hell
of a Communicator, Artie Blanco Vice chair, David Hogg Vice chair,
Hell of a Communicator, Jason Rays, Secretary, Jumia McGregory, Treasurer,
Chris Corge, National financi Chaer, Jane Cleeve as DC president.
(07:53):
You got Chuck Schumer, you Hakim Jeffries. So it's not
like you don't have communicators there, and so I don't.
It's not data and again that's that's that's like no,
no no, but she's not no no but but no
no but joy, but joy Joy.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They're members of Congress, they're not d n C.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Yeah, we need listen. Nobody, the American people don't know
who those people are. I'm sorry on this one.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Wait wait wait wait, I'm confused. I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay, okay, Malcolm Kenya does a ton of media.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
He's an elected official Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So I'm trying to understand the view.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
No I understand, okay, okay, hold on hold, no, no,
hold you just said the dn No no, no, I'm
saying I'm repeating your words. You said, the d n
C needs to had a public facing person and somebody
who are in the party.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's the d n C. She's elected.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So the reality is the reality is the reality is
the party. You need folks who do what they do,
but you can have people who are communicators on who
are elected.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You can have both vice chairs.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I'm not asking us to not have vice chairs. What
I'm saying is have someone out there who can communicate
to the American people, who can get on Morning Joe,
who can get on Fox News, who can get on
wherever they are needed to go, and to be able
to communicate with people.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We So is it that? I mean? Is it that?
Is it that? Ken Martin?
Speaker 8 (09:27):
We okay, Ken Martin, Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
No, I'm no, no, I'm asking you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Isn't that his isn't that his job is the chair.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Yes, that is his job as the chair.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
But he is not going to be able to get
the press, to be able to be the It may
not be his skill. Sometimes we need to stop looking
for everything and everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, no, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll
gain no. But you you specifically said the party, the
DNC Crockett is not a d NC leader.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She's a member of Congress.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
We would do better if she were a d n
C leader. We need people like that.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, hell, why does she need to be This is
what I understand. Why does she to be a d
NC leader. Well, she's a member of Congress. You don't
need a member of Congress. A member of Congress, that
is an actual job. No the wait, wait, wait, wait wait.
She has to serve the.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Seven hundred thousand constituents of her district. I'm one of them. Okay,
my homestead is there. That's her job.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Why can't you have her here and other people over
here on the DNC. Why does she need Why do
you need a member in both?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Look?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When Tim Kaine was a chair, I thought that was idiotic.
When Debbie Wasserman Schultz was a chair, I thought that
was wrong. I don't think you can be a member
of Congress and be the party leader at the same time,
because that's two separate jobs.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
But but ps I didn't say that they would be
only one of them. I said too. I've been saying too.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
I'm saying someone that runs the party on the inside
and then the person who's out there speaking.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
That's the way it used to be. Go back and
look it up. So I'm just saying, to me, we
ought to revert.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
We ought to have some kind of system where we
can draw on people to have different skill sets.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The reason, the reason I don't understand that to.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Be Jasmin Crockett.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
No, I'm just saying, she's the kind of She's the
kind of person and the kind of voice that when
people are looking to the Democratic Party and they're saying,
I want someone who reminds me of myself, who can
speak for me, who can fight for me, they're looking
for someone like that.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
So kudos to her.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
I love your Jasmine chronicles. More of it and we
need more. We could have an AOC Chronicles. We could
have a couple of different people who are out there
speaking to the American people in a way that they
can receive it in a way that is sustinct and
that we understand. And those are not always the people
who are leading us and who are sort of the
party movers and shakers.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Okay, Zacher, go ahead, takeaway from this is exactly what
everyone is saying. But I think it's like the nomenclature
kind of like who it should be. But the bottom
line is we have got to have more diverse voices
across the party being platformed. I personally don't believe that
legacy media outlets are going to be of any help.
They have chosen to not be. They have made a
(12:33):
choice at MSNBC and CNN and places that used to
be committed to truth and oppodium democracy to go in
different direction. There is nothing that I think Democrats like
Malcolm Kanyata can do to garner more good press, even
if his popularity rose to the level of Jasmine, because
they're going to platform with you on a platform. But
it doesn't mean that the Democratic Party can't put those
(12:55):
kind of voices out there. We have our jazz, we
have our aocs, but we have to have more people
in leadership positions get out in there to make those
rounds on independent press and all throughout the whole entire
stratosphere to get the missjail. I think that's kind of
what I'm hearing is that we need more people. One
person isn't enough. We need more Jazmines out there being
(13:15):
spread around and really, to be honest with you, using
platforms like this to get the message out. But as
millions of followers to DN right now. They need to
be here.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Political says titles are irrelevant to me. Three relevant. At
the end of the day, I don't care if you
are a labor leader, if you are a member of Congress,
if you're a DNC vice chair, or I don't care
if you were to pack or whatever. If you have
a coherent message that resonate with people, it doesn't matter.
(13:51):
The point I'm making is I think you need you
need Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett doing exactly what she does when
she's doing when she has her five minutes in a hearing,
when she is being called to do national shows.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's great. But here's the other thing that we just
got to understand. We understand television.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You gonna book who brings ratings, and the reality is
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Matter where they're coming from.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You. If congress Woman Jasmine Crockett wasn't in Congress and
she was bringing the heat and she's on the DNC,
she gonna get a booked. And a member of Congress
is not gonna get a booked. Hell, there members of
Congress who are boring as hell. Who I'm not gonna
book because they not bringing it, so it doesn't even
matter to me. I'm not just being straight up to me.
(14:39):
What we're dealing with here is you have to have
multiple voices, but you need people who are doing the work.
And what I'm saying is the work of the party,
whether it's DNC or the GOP, it goes beyond a
television appearance.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's actual work.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How are you organizing, how are you mobilizing, how are
you building up, how are you winning special elections? How
are you fundraising? So the jobs to me are totally different.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
So names are irrelevant to a lot of people. I
know names are relevant to us because we know all
these people, But when it comes to boots on the ground,
they don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
They just want to be They just want to know
that everything is going to be okay.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
We need Look if jas mccroft, if you're listening, not
just damn if she's listening. I just truly wish that
she was my congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We need more congress people like her.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
The DNC, I assume that their thing is to get
the boots on the ground, to get people motivated out there,
round people up.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's what I'm.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Assuming that their goal is, but again, people are not
going to recognize it too.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
They're not. They just want to be able to hear
the mesters.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
They want to know what's going on, and they want
to know that somebody's there to represent them and that
everything is going to be okay.
