The Anti-Cult Club

27:19When I go up and down in New Jersey, they don't care about the fact that I took 1 % of my money from some group. They care about what are you doing to restore my health care? What are you doing to fight for my fact that I can't make rent? And in my caucus right now, we're standing up and fighting for those things and not capitulating, as you said, to Donald Trump's attempts to deny 22 million Americans healthcare, to see healthcare costs double for lots of them. Well, I think the base feels like right now, and I know that you're in the beltway, but I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect.

28:01We hear you, like when you did your 25, 25, 25 hour speech. I was like, go Corey. I love this. That is amazing. And then there's a photo shoot with you, with Benjamin Netanyahu. And I was just like, what in the actual fuck? Like, how can he do that? It was heartbreaking. I felt betrayed. And that is, hang on. And that doesn't just happen in an echo chamber. It's important when there are For Democrats like you, we're the base. We should make each other better. We need to evolve. And I love that you come on here. We need to have these conversations. It's not a purity test. It's we want credible messengers.

28:42Because when we are down the middle and beholden to corporate interests, then we leave this vacuum. And that's how fascism has flourished. And so for myself and a lot of our listeners, when I saw the picture with Benjamin Netanyahu, I felt like it diminished your 25 hours. That's how it felt to me. So a few things. One is I work in the Beltway. I live in the Central Ward in Newark, New Jersey. Streets that a lot of folks tell me, tell folks, why would you, why would you demean and degrade my communities? I came up, I keep a little picture here, the first place I represented in 28 years old, which is a black community that's struggling.

29:29And we've transformed our schools, our supermarkets, new parks, urban farms, and the like. And the wonderful thing about those folks that I serve is that none of them question where I stand and how long for more than a quarter of a century have I stood with the people in their neighborhoods. Number two, so I may work in the Beltway, but I know where I came from and I know who got me here. And it's the struggling people that our party has done a pretty shitty job for, to be honest with you. I agree. Okay. Number two, when you say things like Kushner this or whatever, I remember the people who actually, when the Democratic Party was doing things like passing crime bills, they put black people like me when I was in my 20s and stopped by the police all the time behind bars.

30:13The Democratic Party failed and fueled mass incarceration. And so the people that were there for me 30 years ago doing prisoner reentry programs, getting people jobs and housing, I'm sorry. People like Kushner who was there 30 years ago fighting for those fights, I'm not going to forget that they fought for Black people when other people seem to be gung-ho with Paul. Is this the first CARE Act? What was that act called that you passed? Well, that was only 10 years ago, the first step act. What was that? Okay. I've read about that. That's really good. Yes, it's excellent. And I'm sorry, I have to work across the aisle and Charlie Kushner was, but for him, it wouldn't have gotten done.

30:52So again, when I go home, people do know people that got out of prison because of the First Step Act and they knew the bipartisan coalition. Third, I'm sorry. I have real problems with Benjamin Netanyahu, outrageous things that he's doing. The way you fight for those things is you sit down face to face with somebody and you fight with them. I'm not going to be outside of the room screaming. I want to look him in the eye, like me, Amy Klobuchar, and a whole bunch of other people did, and talk to him about humanitarian aid. And if people want to criticize me for it, then go ahead. But I'm leading in the Senate on West Bank crises right now from their attempts to annex it or illegal settlements.

31:32I lead the legislation to sanction the people that are doing that. I can stand strong on my principles and still work to end these things. And I don't mind taking criticism, again, from folks that don't necessarily agree with my tactics. But we on this podcast right now, we share the same aim. Cease fire now, humanitarian aid now, return the hostages now. Do you think he's a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu? Do you think he's a war criminal? Again, these are questions that a lot of people think are the important litmus tests that are loaded and hot. But my urgency is to be an effective leader in bringing an end to this crisis.

32:13And I get these questions all the time that, to me, undermine my urgency. I think the thing that Democrats get so frustrated with, where we are right now, where you see like the Zoran Mamdani's and the Graham Platner's rise up, because they can go on podcasts and you can say, do you think Benjamin Netanyahu's a war criminal? And they just say, yes. And that's the end of it. It's not all of the rhetoric answering. It's like what happens to Democratic politicians, they go through this like prism and then we can't ever get like the answer to yes or no conversations like you do with Bernie and others.

32:50And that's the frustration for the Democratic phase with leadership. Yes. Do I think that we right now in America should be doing everything possible to bring peace, not just to that crisis, but to the ones that shock me that no one talks about, and I hope, and I don't know if you guys have or not, but crises like Sudan, where there are American weapons literally causing horrific, horrific, in fact, by double, triple, quadru, it's the biggest humanitarian crisis that we're not talking about as a country. When I was coming up, everybody was talking about Darfur. Now, the moral silence is outrageous when American weapons are being used in that conflict.

33:31And the same with Israel. I mean, our weapons and even Democratic politicians signed them before they were sent over to kill kids. This is, I really feel like if we get through this fascism, we have to have conversations like this, Senator. I think it's - But you're right. Where you're right is the Democratic Party, again, as a Black guy in America, there are so many things we don't talk about that we need to have an honest conversation about. You're right. I work in a place that corruption has been accepted. Why are people taking corporate PAC money? Why are people trading stocks? I hold myself to the standard of what I want to see other elected officials.

34:15if I was a guy in Newark that I talked to about that don't believe their politicians stand and fight for them. And so I agree with you that there are real corruptions that we tolerate that we need to do something about. Campaign finance is one of the things. This is why I do not take certain money from everything from oil company C-suite folks to pharma company C-suite folks. These are all things that I believe. But every day that I get up here, I know the people of New Jersey want me to fight for them and their interests. And so when it comes to the fights we're in right now, I'm happy to be in a trench with everybody in my caucus from Mark Warner all the way to Bernie Sanders.

34:50The whole caucus, we are united in a fight right now that I'm hoping, despite the disagreements within the Democratic tent, that we all can unify and say it's outrageous for people's health care costs to double their premiums. It's outrageous for 22 million Americans to lose their health care. It's outrageous for hospitals to have longer waits at the emergency room because people are going there to get their primary care. I go home every day, as I told you, or at least every week to my community. And a lot of the things that I often talk about on podcasts like this, they don't give a damn about.

35:24They want to know what's going on with my rising costs. What's going on with my loss of health care? What's going on with the poisoning of my communities? Because everybody wants to talk about them being an environmentalist, but nobody's talking about the toxic sites that are in communities like mine. in the community. What's going on with the fact that giving birth in this country is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have, especially for Black women? And so I hear you when I'm down here in the Beltway or get on podcasts, everybody wants to talk, well, you didn't vote 100 % this way. Nobody asks me about that in communities that I'm fighting for in New Jersey.

35:59What they want to know is what are we doing to make the American dream that I can buy a home, that I can afford health care, that I can afford to pay the groceries or pay for child care. What are you doing? I spoke to the Teamsters last week. Packed room. Pissed at the Democrats, pissed at the Republicans. By the end of the speech, I had them on their feet applauding because I was saying things that they're not used to Democrats talking about, which is screw all this stuff that talked about up here. What are you doing for me and my family to represent us? I want to get the Democratic party back to the basics that makes people believe in us again.

36:39And first it is getting rid of corruption. And corruption means that I know my politician isn't bought and paid for, that I know my politician isn't trading stocks on information that I don't have, that I know my politicians aren't playing to somebody else's tune. Second is what are you doing to make my life economically easier? Because 60 % of this country can't afford America anymore, can't afford the American dream. Third, what are we doing for families? Because raising a kid in this country increases your chance of going below the poverty line by over 100 % just by having a child because that's how expensive it is.

37:15And again, healthcare, being able to have a child without dying. These are the basics our party wants. People don't want all the bells and whistles. They don't want all the bullshit political talks that we all always get tripped up on. What are you doing for us? And the fight that we're in right now in Washington against Donald Trump, and you and I might agree on a lot of the things, threats to democracy, a lot of these things that we talk about. But when I go home, when I go home, people are just so pissed off that they can't afford America anymore. And that's what we need to be talking about.

37:49Pivoting just a slight bit, I have been so profoundly disappointed with the leadership. Like, for example, your colleague Chuck Schumer, let's just take him because you're in the Senate. I feel like every single day, Democratic leadership in the federal government should be out saying, Donald Trump has dementia. He's running around calling it the Department of War when it is the Department of Defense. He is lying about inflation. I mean, just every day he's demented. He should be impeached. He's lying. And I am not seeing that. I see sound bites a little bit here and there. And what can we do to break through to the Democratic leadership?

38:32We need every single day. And I understand talking about health care and women dying. We live in abortion ban America, or I do. And so I understand women are dying. Adversely impacted, even from that, is Black women. I have seen the research. I'm involved in an organization that we're trying to bring that to the voters. But right now, we're fighting fascism. We're fighting military masks in the streets. So why do I feel so disappointed with the federal leadership when I see Gavin Newsom and the mayor of Boston, J.B. Pritzker, they're out there fighting every day and I just, I see a vacuum. Okay, so I mean, again, I come again, I was raised in the civil rights tradition by parents that fought for it.

39:23And so these are the things I know.

39:27When I was home in January, I got cornered in the supermarket in Newark. One we brought into a food desert. and my folks know me and they get upset with me. Why aren't you Democrats doing this? And I tell them, well, we're not in the majority. We can't, why aren't you doing it? Well, we can't call a hearing. And then after going back and forth, this guy who's known me since the 90s and I had a beautiful Afro said to me, are you an American or America can't? And then he says to me, he goes, where's the guy I voted for who did a hunger strike for 10 days in the projects and made everybody in New Jersey pay attention and we solve problems?

40:07Where's the guy that moved into a mobile home and parked it on the worst drug corners in our city? He started marching through my career over 25 years and saying, this is the guy that I knew that made a way out of no way. Didn't wait for leaders, didn't wait for permission. That's why we went back. And I said to Hakeem Jeffries, we need to do an all day sit in on the Capitol steps that broke through, had over a hundred million impressions. That's why I did 25 hours on the Senate floor, which was to break through. 340 million people liked it on TikTok. What I'm saying to you right now is that I've learned in my life, in all my battles to end a corrupt machine in New Jersey, to turn around a city nobody said to be turned around, and even right now in this fight, that leadership is not a job, it's not a title or a position, it's action and example.

40:58And you say, Chuck Schumer this, Chuck Schumer this. I'm telling you right now, most people in my state do not know who Chuck Schumer is. They don't. They can't name him. They can't name Hakeem Jeffries. But I try to do things down here that are different, unusual, and that people know my, I know my name ID in my state is pretty high. People know I'm fighting for them and I'm finding creative ways to doing it. But that's not because I'm a senator. When my staff and I sat around and said, what do people know you for? What do they know you, how do they know you about? How do they know what you're fighting every day to try to get done?

41:31It's really about where do you stand in a crisis? And so I hear you guys about Chuck Schumer this, Chuck Schumer this. I do not go back and prosecute a case on Chuck Schumer in New Jersey at all. I prosecute cases for my communities that are desperately hurting right now. And if I spent all my energy on who's a leader of the Senate, as opposed to just being a damn leader myself and finding ways to let my people know what the issues are and fighting for them. Let me blunt with you. I'm on 20 social media platforms. Just pick one of them. Instagram last time, 50 million views just this last month on the content that we put out there.

42:11Most of them people are people that follow me in the New Jersey area because we want people to know what we're about and what we're fighting for. And we find crazy creative ways to break through and let people know. We've championed the issues you're talking about. I've led in the Senate and got a lot done on extending Medicaid and dealing with the maternal mortality crisis. I'm the one that called Biden up and got all the lead pipes in the ground, the funding for those things pulled out. The receipts I'm able to bring back to my communities of real things that we can point to is why I'm here in the Senate.

42:42And so I understand the politics, but people aren't concerned about politics. They're concerned about, are you making progress for my community? And that's what this fight is about. We have the leverage right now. We are standing in the right. We are right on the pain point of Americans. And if we do not fight here and fight now, you all know this, that the tsunami that's coming, the 2026 Medicaid changes, the 2026 ACA, this is stuff I don't say, the ACA premiums and subsidies. That's all gobbledygook to most Americans. But we know that if we don't do something come January next year, and then at the end of next year, between the Medicaid and the ACA, it will be a healthcare disaster like this country has ever seen, affecting everyone.

43:31Because if you don't get your healthcare through the ACA or through Medicaid, and you go to the emergency room when you have a disaster, and now suddenly the emergency room lines are so much longer, everybody is going to be affected. And so I live in, I live in urgencies. I'm not trying to pass somebody's period. I am who I am. This is where I stand. I could do no other. My, my, I've raised to stand in my own integrity and to fight in ways that I want to show my constituents nobody's willing to go to the mat as much as I am, whether it's not going to the bathroom for freaking 25 hours, which is hard, or whether it's delivering on things that are not sexy.

44:09But when we were able to double, to significantly increase the funding for sickle cell anemia, which is, talk about racism, which was a disease that affected more people, but that got less funding than other diseases. People in my community and happy to be all across America said, thank God. That's what I'm fighting for. Am I making somebody's life better? And I will stand with you on real corruption, whether it's at the Supreme Court or the crypto president that we have, or even my colleagues in the Democratic Party that still think they have to take money from PepsiCo or whatever corporation you want to do like Apple.

44:46We have work to do. And in this moment, I want to unify people. The three of us, 90 percent, we agree on. Let's put the 10 percent aside. I would actually say 98 because I listen to you guys and I cheer you in the mornings when I do. 98 % of the stuff we agree on. Let's unify because I know from the old African saying that sticks in a bundle can't be broken. Spiderwebs United can tie up a lion. We need that kind of strength right now more than ever because what's at the stake is when I go home to Newark and people are losing their health care and get their health care in hospital emergency rooms or their prenatal care.

45:24at the time that they're giving birth. Senator, the bill that you passed for the, I think it was cocaine crack disparity. My husband's a criminal defense lawyer and he said it's changed. I mean, it's changed so many of his clients' lives. So, and I know that you do really good work. You bring up a really good point on that. It immediately, over time, it's been thousands more, but immediately got 2000 people out of prison. 98 % of them were black and brown. And most people wouldn't, don't, most people, I'm sorry, they don't understand that we still live in a country where I'm four, no, forget me, because I'm a privileged African-American man, but the average black guy has a four times more likely chance of getting arrested for marijuana usage.

46:06still today, there are thousands of marijuana arrests than somebody that's white, and there's no difference in it. We live in this savagely broken criminal justice system that is targeting the most vulnerable people, the people that are addicted that need health care and not prison, the people who are mentally ill who need health care, not prison. It is so savagely unfair, and I'm grateful for your family talking about it. I think you bring up a really good point that we need to discuss as a party. And you bring up the kind of the leftist wing of the party, and then you on boots on the ground governing.

46:41And I agree with you to an extent that sometimes far, far left, it can be, they put you through the meat grinder. They put us through the meat grinder. Last Monday, we were the moderators for Kamala Harris's book tour in Los Angeles. And all the leftists were super mad at us. And we first started the podcast, all of the conservative women were mad at us because we were liberal. And so I certainly understand that sometimes you feel like you can't, it's like, well, they're pissed at me. They're pissed at me. And I imagine if you're a U.S. Senator, everybody's pissed at you. But I will say, now that we've been doing this for three years, I do think that the United States and particularly the Democratic Party, we have to be leaders on this issue with Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu.

47:27It's something that there is a big, loud beat in the base that's permeating all across the country. When you have people in Oklahoma that have never been political before start to talk about it. And here's what I'm scared about. And I've been talking to other politicians that have come on the pod about this. You have Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is an anti-Semite. She is a real Jew hater to the core. And she is starting to message now. Now, MAGA is not America first, where they've been Israel first. And for rural people and suburban people, when they hear that messaging, it allows a grifter and an opportunist like Marjorie Taylor Greene for people that don't follow the 24 hour news cycle to say, yeah, why do they have free health care?

48:14And we don't. Why are we sending them all of these bombs and they're killing kids and we don't? I think in order for us to come together as a party in 2026, it's going to take leadership saying things like Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. We have to stop funding the war. And we've evolved on the issue. And I think it's OK. I think we're all at a place right now where we can we can accept that we have the leaders that we have. And I agree with you that we agree on 98 out of 100 things. And if we agreed 100 out of 100, we'd be in a cult, we'd be MAGA, and we're not that. We're always going to disagree on things.

48:52And I genuinely hear you when you say people don't know who Chuck Schumer is. You're exactly right. So many Americans do not know who that is at all. We all do, obviously. And I think the economic messaging. But I do think that if the Democrats leave this vacuum there, it's going to get filled by the people in MAGA that are seeing a post-Trump America. And it's super easy messaging with the America first thing. It's just something I want you to think about because I think it's a political liability for our party right now. You're calling me for a vote. Let me just say this. So, first of all, why aren't people talking about when Obama was using American jets to bomb, to refuel Saudi planes that were dropping bombs on Yemenese children?

49:42Why weren't we yelling and screaming? I spoke out against it. It was bad, but we have to talk about current. Please let me finish. Please let me finish. They're going to pull me away. Okay. Why? And again, I've been fighting for more funding from the Horn of Africa to the Congo to Sudan. Why can't we get people to care in this country enough where our top podcasts are saying it's wrong that we are implicated in so many things, people dying on the continent of Africa? Why Haiti? Why can't I get top mainstream media people to give a damn about the atrocities there? The International Criminal Court singles out Israel, but not Iran, not Syria, not other folks.

50:39I don't understand. I'm with you on the ending of the nightmare and the ceasefire. I'm with you on criticizing the Antonyahu administration, which I think is worse than the Trump administration. But as a guy who is focusing so much of my effort on ending human suffering on the planet Earth, on the biggest humanitarian nightmares, I can't get people with powerful platforms to speak even once about the nightmares that are going on. It drives me nuts. And it makes me feel like I felt when I was representing Newark, New Jersey, to get people in our country to care enough. Why do I stand out and support people that you you and others criticize me for voting for, because I will never forget when nobody cared about mass incarceration of black and brown people who stood up for them.

51:34Why am I get so angry sometimes about my own party who seems to be distracted by issues that don't matter and not to the core of people who cannot afford to pay rent and buy groceries? That's why I've chosen to live where I live, because every day when I come home, I get snapped back to reality, to people who want me to focus on what matters to them. And so I hear you about what the causes are that are most making headlines. But my entire career, I've cared about the issues that aren't the popular issues, but are the ones that are affecting the most people that are often forgot about or marginalized.

52:16And that's what I want to say with urgency. So you and I are going to agree on the big ticket items. But I want to come back on this show. I beg of you. And I'll send them to you beforehand. Three things that we should be talking about that we're not talking about that are affecting millions of either Americans or hundreds of millions of people or tens of millions of people on the planet Earth. Senator, I want to thank you so much for coming on this podcast, because this is the difference between the left and the right. You come on here. We have conversations. We grow, we learn from each other and we're not, it's not like Fox news or the right wings.

52:57We disagree and we embrace the disagreement to make a better country. And thank you so much for coming on. We respect all of the work you do. And we're here to fight this fight with you and find compromise and unity where we can. We are unified, the three of us, and you all are voices that, again, the tradition of Black radio in America, you all know this. It was people like you all that have platforms that would entertain people, that would inform people, that would engage people, but most of all would help to heal the hurt, to inspire people to act even when they were starting to feel despair.

53:35I believe that hope is the act of conviction that despair will never have the last word. And you all are speaking up again and again and again, And trying to make sure people know that as dark as things are, as challenging as things are, we still have fight. We still have strength. And we still, like my parents said when they marched, we still believe that we shall overcome. Senator, good luck. Thank you. And please come back on. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye. Bye-bye. Okay, here's my thing. Okay. They just cannot criticize Israel. it there's really something to that i mean it's just it's kind of wild when you when you're in it that the deflection what he deflected to obama he deflected to other other places it's interesting that he can't just stay in that i mean there's a little bit but it's kind of the deflection involved in not just staying on that subject was wild to me.

54:39Well, I mean, because saying, he didn't say he's a war criminal. He said, I disagree with him. I think he's worse than Trump. So it's like, well, just when I brought it up again, he said, nobody's talking about Obama. And it's like, he motherfucker hasn't been president in 10 years. And, and I remember people calling Obama war criminal. I remember it. He was a, he was the drone president. He dropped drones and killed civilians. And I distinctly remember it. And he's right. It was, I mean, there's a lot of criticism to be made and an accusation that could be made that Obama was a war criminal. It's interesting that he couldn't call Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal.

55:19It's, he's so good on so many subjects, truly. Like when he made the message about nobody knows who Chuck Schumer is. Brilliant. Excellent. The civil rights stuff, the healthcare issues affecting black women so much more than it does. That's why I think with Corey, with Senator Booker, it hurts me the most because I like him. The stuff that I agree with him on, I really agree. And I think he's an effective, compassionate communicator. When it gets to, it's kind of like the whole Israel thing. It's like, once you open your eyes up to it, oh, my light just went out. Sorry, guys. Once you open up your eyes to it, it's difficult to unsee it.

56:08Yeah, it's difficult to unsee it. And we're going to have a disco, you guys.

56:16But anyway, here's the thing. He has a good point that we have to focus on what we agree upon, but I'm trying to tell these certain politicians, you're creating a huge vacuum. The Israel thing is a huge issue right now. We have funded that country. And I want to be crystal clear that I love, support, and respect Jewish people. and I see the criticism of Israel and their leader and their government, this same way that I hope that Europeans and other first world countries criticize the United States right now. If people that don't live in this country who aren't American only say, oh, that's great.

57:04It's so great that they have Trump. It's so great that they're doing away with democracy. That doesn't help me. So it's not anti-Semitic to speak out against a war criminal that is making Jews less safe worldwide. Yeah. Annihilating Palestinians. And I just wish that the Democrat Democratic leadership. I mean, like if Corey could just go a notch more on this, because I don't think he has any idea what a sticking point this is, how much bigger this issue has become since Kamala's election. And I completely agree with him on everyday people, like the people we were talking about in the beginning, driving in their car.

57:47They're more worried about why can't my child get a job? I understand that. But just on a macro level, it is so important that we have a line in the sand. Like we will not support this full stop. We will not. just it's a it's a layup to say netanyahu is a war criminal it's just there's no question he's a war criminal he is even israeli human rights groups yeah say it's a genocide i mean it's not some people in benjamin netanyahu's government are talking about the real estate development yes and not even to mention that benjamin netanyahu funded hamas so that he could stay in power. Right. It's like a true situation.

58:30He was going to lose his. But here's the thing I want to say about Corey that I think is important. It's a big difference that he came on here because he knows we're critical of him and he came on here. So the far left leftist listeners, we can't just rip up the politicians that we have and discard them because we have him. He is a major senator. He's going to have more and more terms. So when he will come to places and openly communicate with us, then we have to have our disagreements. And then I will invite him back on because it's going to take a big tent to overcome this. And so and he answered the questions.

59:07I mean, I wish he would tell it, cut the crap and tell us, you know, why he won't call him the war criminal. But maybe he'll get there. Right, pumps. Right. I just want to say that's when he said they're calling me for a vote. I wanted to say the government shut down. But you know what? I respect it because we gave him, he said, you can have this much time. And we went over. I'm all in on it. But yeah, I just thought that was funny that the government shut down. But you know, he's a very, no, he's a very likable person, but I see what the far left is. I see what they see now. Sure. that there are certain politicians who are seduced, beholden, completely, I don't know if they're propagandized themselves or being paid off or what the deal is, but there is a lack of moral clarity and a lot of deflection.

59:59The fact that he was bringing up Obama, which is a very valid thing, but we weren't talking about Obama. We're talking about currently right now, Benjamin Netanyahu bombing the shit out of everybody all the time.
