Trump is Panicking as Californians Vote to Shut Him Down

0:04Welcome to IHIP News. As we continue to fight for democracy, I am so privileged and proud to welcome Assemblywoman Tina McKenner from California, who is heading up Prop 50. Assemblywoman, how are you today? I am fantastic. It's early in the morning here in California on the West Coast, and we are up early because we're ready to go fight Trump. Bring the fight to California. We'll bring it to you. I like it. I mean, it is all hands on deck at all times to fight this man and his insanity. And let me just ask you this, Congresswoman, let's gossip for just a second. I like that you call me Congresswoman.

0:48I'm sorry, not Assemblywoman. You gave me a, that's okay, you gave me a promotion. We're going to manifest it, girl. We are going to manifest that. Okay, listen, let's gossip a little bit. Did you see, you know, I call President Trump Kanks, short for Kankles McTaco tits. Yes. Did you see Kanks being escorted around by the Japanese prime minister on the global stage and getting lost? And what I'm thinking when I see this is I remember Jake Tapper writing a whole book about Joe Biden. And fair enough. I mean, you know, you run for president. You're on the big stage. You're going to get a lot of criticism.

1:22Every single thing you do is going to be critiqued. You want a big boy job. You have to have big boy criticism. You have to have thick skin to take it. why does this man get away with so much shit assembly woman it makes me insane that there is never any accountability with this man it makes me insane as well he has lost all decorum you know i've been in this business for 30 years and i've never seen anybody like this guy like kanks he is he's a mess no seriously he's a mess he gets away with everything he says anything he wants he's brought decorum for elected officials down. I remember when I was a kid and you looked up at your elected official, they had class and grace, not this fool.

2:05He just does whatever he wants. He's full of theatrics. He put on a whole show as he went over there. He's just embarrassing. He is humiliating. And I think Prop 50 could offer some accountability for kinks. I do. And I really like this idea because what I have seen the last several years has made me so mad. And I feel like we're playing two different games here. I feel like the MAGA regime is like, we're going to do what we want to do. And we don't care what the rules are. We don't care what the laws are. We barely eked out a victory and we're going to cram it down everybody's throats. And we're going to take away rights from people.

2:45And we're going to browbeat black and brown people. And we're just going to be complete assholes. And you're going to have to like it. that's their rule book. And then ours sometimes seems like we're tiptoeing and playing integrity politics. And I think we got to get up in that ass. Well, I'm done. Prop 50 is doing that. If you go, you know, Michelle Obama said, if you go low, I go high, not me, you go low, I go lower. And so, and everybody knows that about me. It's like, you know, and that's what I'm loving about our governor right now is that he is fighting him back. At least he's standing up to him.

3:18He's not being afraid. He's not being timid. He is fighting back. And with our help, we're going to kick his ass from California. We're going to make sure that this midterm election is fair, because we all know that in the midterms, Congress runs every two years. And everything he does has to come through Congress. Right now, this experiment that we call America is not working, because this guy has the Congress, the U.S. Senate. He has a presidency and has the Supreme Court. And so it's just not working. And when it came to California and it came time to run this proposition, the legislators, we were unanimous on the Democratic side.

3:56We don't have that many Republicans in California. California is a great place to live. You might want to come find a house here because we at least have, it's full of Democrats. And we decided we would fight him back with Prop 50. We'd make sure that we had an even playing field when we get to the midterms and we're going to kick his ass. I love it. And I think your governor is doing a really good job confirming for people what you're seeing is real. This guy is serious and the people surrounding him are dangerous. And to quote your governor, he said they are not fucking around. And he is 100 % correct.

4:34They are not fucking around. And historically, we know that when you see a dictator. They get into power. They do a lot of illegal shit. Then they get fearful of the things they've done. And then they shift to, we're going to do everything in our power to keep power at all costs. And they're at that stage right now where they are going to try to do everything they can do to keep power. But what's so interesting to me about California and other diverse big blue states is the following. Multiculturalism is a worthy fight. Fighting for your neighbor and your sisters and brothers of color is a worthy fight, and it is the most patriotic and American fight in which you can engage.

5:21And I just was thinking about this a lot, this attack on blue cities and this attack on blue states, Assemblywoman. And I can't think of one big red city. Can you? One big red city that pays a lot of taxes that is a donor city. And I can't think of one. I can't think of one. They're all - No, I can't either. You know, and we sometime in California, we talk about what if we keep our money? You know, you keep fucking around and find out Trump, we might keep our money. Wouldn't that be something? Because we are a donor state. We give way more money than like Texas, right? The people who he called and asked for, who started this, by the way, he called Texas and said, I deserve five Republican seats.

6:05Can you go in? Can you draw the maps and cut me five Republican seats? Well, there's no other place like California, because as soon as our governor heard that, he made sure that we put three issues before us to vote. And we voted for three bills that made us go back into the redistricting. We're different than Texas. We're not going to just draw a map. We're going to go back to our voters and say, is it OK if the state legislator draw the maps only until 2030 when we'll bring back the Independent Redistricting Commission, which no other, these red states don't have that. You know, the Republicans here in California is talking about gerrymandering.

6:45They don't believe in anything that we're doing. They don't believe in fair redistricting. Of course they don't. They just want to go in and bulldoze and do what they want to do. But here in California, we're taking it to the voters on Tuesday, November the 4th, and we're asking, please let us redraw these maps so that we can get five on it. We can put five on it. They get five, we get five. They only have nine Republican Congress people in California. They fucked up, and now they're only going to have four, because we're going to pass Prop 50 on Tuesday, and we're going to kick Donald Trump's ass in the midterm.

7:18Selfishly, I want to ask the following question. Is there any chance Kevin McCarthy would lose his seat in this deal? We're going to try. And I mean, when we try, usually we, during the midterms and presidential elections, we go to other states because it's so democratic here. But we've decided we're going to stay home in 2026 so we can kick these five Republicans out. We would love to get rid of him, love to get rid of him. And so we're going to fucking try. I love it. And you know, when you think about Kanks calling after the 2020 election, when he lost by from Joe Biden, and he called that governor in Georgia and the secretary of state in Georgia, and he said, please find me 11 ,000 votes.

8:01There's no integrity. These guys don't want to run on their policy and win because he knows he's really, really unpopular. And here's how I know about it. you remember when he won in 2016 and he had that really small showing for his inauguration it was like and then and then they did a side-by-side of Obama's inauguration you couldn't see anything you couldn't see any bare ground not even a piece of grass on a shoulder to shoulder everybody's there for Barack Obama and then his first inauguration it was just this abysmal impotent crowd size right so then of course you know he lost in 2020 he tries to pick a fight He tries to have his supporters kill Mike Pence.

8:42It was a big shit show, right? He should have been in prison. Tries to cheat, all this stuff. Packs his toys up, leaves. Is not a big boy enough to go to the peaceful transfer of power. And then he wins again. And they moved his inauguration indoors because I think that everybody governs for this man and makes decisions for this man based on his fragile ego. And this is what I like so much about California right now. because y 'all are going right at the heart of this pathetic fragile ego of this pathetic wannabe strong man and here's what we have going for us assembly woman the strong man is frail and the strong man has dementia and it isn't is as obvious as the nose on my face and this is when these movements start to fissure and california has the chum in the water and you guys are moving right in and I love the fight.

9:39So tell our listeners about Prop 50, how they can support Prop 50 if they don't live in California and to all of the Californians, how they can make a difference with Prop 50. Well, see, voting for Prop 50, again, will help us to equal the level the equal field, right? Like we will be able to go on and we would be able to help with them in terms. We've done this before in his last election in 2018. From California, we were the one that elected all those Congress people that made us get Congress back. And so we want to do it again. We want to make sure that we level the field. If we win in 2026, it's going to do a lot for us in this country because Trump's been trying to erase our history.

10:25He wants to, all those, a lot of those federal jobs were black jobs. He's right. Those federal jobs were black jobs because like black Black women in the 70s and 80s, they couldn't get big jobs after college in corporate America, so they went to the government. He laid all those people off. We look at Medi-Cal and Medicaid, that's going to be a problem. People are going to die in pain if they don't have insurance with this guy. Food and gas is going through the roof. Mentorship, my brother's keeper, they have already gotten rid of abortion, and now they're trying to defund Planned Parenthood, LGBTQ rights.

11:00Everything we have done and fight for it together, brothers and sisters. This guy is trying to roll back. This is extremely important. And so what we need people to do in California is get those ballots, fill it out, vote yes on Prop 50, drop them in a drop box. Don't put them in the mail. Go in the call center or drop them in the drop box. At this point, we want to make sure that we get those ballots. We don't even want to take chances on the mail. If you don't live in California, There's a place if you go to stoptheriggedelection.com, you can donate. Go and donate and help us get out the vote.

11:33We have a couple of days left, and we want to make sure people go to the ballot box. I'm running a phone back here in Westchester, California, and we have 71 % yes rate. 71 % of my communities are voting yes. And so we want to make sure that we continue that trend. We have to win in California. this helps the rest of the country. Because you know, once goes California, goes the rest of the country. And so get out, cast your vote, go to StopRiggedElection.com and donate and help California help you. I love it. I love your energy. I love how feisty you are. I love the fight. I am so happy to partner with you and to spread the word that this fight is right now happening in California.

12:22and we have power together and multiculturalism is our strength. And that is a hill I will die on with every fiber in my body. Assemblywoman, thank you so much. Thank you for your work.
