Jasmine Crockett: After Mike Johnson Blew up CR Because of a Tweet, He’s Not in a Position to Ask Help from Hakeem Jeffries

Velshi So it is ░░░░░░░░ to see how that ░░░░░░░░ goes down There s ░░░░░░░░ there are a couple ░░░░░░░░ coming up The continuing ░░░░░░░░ that does have to ░░░░░░░░ dealt with That s ░░░░░░░░ that s about 96 ░░░░░░░░ cycles away There is ░░░░░░░░ issue of the debt ░░░░░░░░ which Donald Trump has ░░░░░░░░ flopped on in the ░░░░░░░░ but now he wants ░░░░░░░░ done with it What ░░░░░░░░ the priorities as Democrats ░░░░░░░░ you re looking at ░░░░░░░░ are the things that ░░░░░░░░ d like to see ░░░░░░░░ in this Congress that ░░░░░░░░ participation can help get ░░░░░░░░ Crockett So I absolutely ░░░░░░░░ to make sure that ░░░░░░░░ is done in a ░░░░░░░░ way I don t ░░░░░░░░ that Mike Johnson will ░░░░░░░░ be able to guarantee ░░░░░░░░ entire caucus He wasn ░░░░░░░░ able to do it ░░░░░░░░ he had a larger ░░░░░░░░ And so what does ░░░░░░░░ look like It looks ░░░░░░░░ making sure that the ░░░░░░░░ that the Democrats have ░░░░░░░░ are really the priorities ░░░░░░░░ everyday working folk making ░░░░░░░░ that we ve got ░░░░░░░░ know obviously there was ░░░░░░░░ fight about the funding ░░░░░░░░ child cancer research you ░░░░░░░░ making sure that we ░░░░░░░░ protecting Social Security Medicaid ░░░░░░░░ making sure that we ░░░░░░░░ doing the smart things ░░░░░░░░ will take care of ░░░░░░░░ is what we want ░░░░░░░░ do What we re ░░░░░░░░ looking forward to is ░░░░░░░░ trying to ram through ░░░░░░░░ Trump tax scam again ░░░░░░░░ tax cuts they expire ░░░░░░░░ 2025 And so that ░░░░░░░░ why he wanted to ░░░░░░░░ sure that debt ceiling ░░░░░░░░ raised And so this ░░░░░░░░ where we will be ░░░░░░░░ to use our leverage ░░░░░░░░ that they only have ░░░░░░░░ two seat majority when ░░░░░░░░ comes down to it ░░░░░░░░ means that they will ░░░░░░░░ be allowed to lose ░░░░░░░░ vote on anything that ░░░░░░░░ want to pass through ░░░░░░░░ House Velshi Are there ░░░░░░░░ you can see in ░░░░░░░░ Mike Johnson reaches over ░░░░░░░░ Hakeem Jeffries and says ░░░░░░░░ are things that have ░░░░░░░░ get done We did ░░░░░░░░ that a little bit ░░░░░░░░ the last House You ░░░░░░░░ t see much of ░░░░░░░░ going on this time ░░░░░░░░ I mean he may ░░░░░░░░ but let me tell ░░░░░░░░ he s going to ░░░░░░░░ these reaches because when ░░░░░░░░ allowed Elon Musk and ░░░░░░░░ to jump onto social ░░░░░░░░ and blow up what ░░░░░░░░ been you know days ░░░░░░░░ months long negotiations between ░░░░░░░░ and Republicans and you ░░░░░░░░ a tweet to blow ░░░░░░░░ all up well first ░░░░░░░░ all the only currency ░░░░░░░░ we have when we ░░░░░░░░ lawmakers whether it s ░░░░░░░░ state or federal level ░░░░░░░░ our word And so ░░░░░░░░ you will not honor ░░░░░░░░ word because somebody randomly ░░░░░░░░ s not elected sends ░░░░░░░░ a tweet that s ░░░░░░░░ way to govern and ░░░░░░░░ can t trust you ░░░░░░░░ was the same issue ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy had Democrats couldn ░░░░░░░░ trust him nor could ░░░░░░░░ own party trust him ░░░░░░░░ so therefore he got ░░░░░░░░ out I think Mike ░░░░░░░░ is in a real ░░░░░░░░ pickle I think if ░░░░░░░░ had actually just went ░░░░░░░░ pushed forward with the ░░░░░░░░ as it had been ░░░░░░░░ then he would be ░░░░░░░░ a position and say ░░░░░░░░ Hakeem if I got ░░░░░░░░ problem can you help ░░░░░░░░ out But he s ░░░░░░░░ in that position right ░░░░░░░░ Velshi Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett ░░░░░░░░ good to see you ░░░░░░░░ you for joining us ░░░░░░░░ evening Jasmine Crockett is ░░░░░░░░ member of Congress from ░░░░░░░░
