Rep. Jasmine Crockett joins Ali Velshi to react to Biden’s debate performance, urging Democrats to avoid unnecessary panicking. 'It’s almost like we’re scared of our shadow sometimes,' Crockett says. They also discuss why the dangers of Trump far outweigh concerns about Biden’s age. “I don’t really care if he was off for 90 minutes and didn’t put on like people wanted him to put on,” Crockett says. “The reality is that he is 50,000 times better than Trump… and he has over 34 felony convictions and still has 50 pending.”

  • HEART AND SOUL I COULD DO THIS
  • JOB.
  • >> THAT WAS PRESIDENT BIDEN AT
  • A RALLY YESTERDAY IN NORTH
  • CAROLINA, ONE DAY AFTER A
  • DISASTROUS PERFORMANCE AT THE
  • FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON
  • THURSDAY.
  • JOINING ME NOW IS DEMOCRATIC
  • CONGRESSWOMAN JASMINE CROCKETT
  • FROM TEXAS, A MEMBER OF THE
  • HOUSE AGRICULTURE AND HOUSE
  • OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
  • COMMITTEES.
  • CONGRESSWOMAN CROCKETT, THANK
  • YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
  • I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT SMART
  • ENOUGH TO KNOW AND I'M NOT A
  • DECISION-MAKER.
  • I AM A VOTER LIKE EVERYONE
  • ELSE.
  • I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE RIGHT
  • THING TO DO IS ABOUT THAT
  • DEBATE.
  • I AM SURE THAT A BAD DEBATE
  • PERFORMANCE BY AN 80-YEAR-OLD
  • GUY WHO HAS GIVEN A LOT OF TIME
  • TO THIS COUNTRY, WHO IS NOT
  • CONVICTED OF ANYTHING.
  • WHO GENERALLY IS NOT THOUGHT OF
  • AS A PERSON WHO LIES.
  • WHO IS A COMPASSIONATE,
  • EMPATHETIC BEING IN THE FACE OF
  • THE OPPOSITION OF DONALD TRUMP,
  • IS A NO-BRAINER.
  • SO EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SLOW
  • THEIR ROLE FOR A MINUTE WHILE
  • WE THINK ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT
  • STEPS ARE.
  • >> IT IS SO WILD TO ME AND IT
  • 1:03
  • HAS BEEN QUITE ANNOYING IF I AM
  • GOING TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST,
  • THAT DEMOCRATS GET INTO A
  • FRENZY.
  • IT IS ALMOST LIKE WE ARE SCARED
  • OF OUR SHADOW SOMETIMES, RIGHT?
  • I THINK IT IS BECAUSE WE
  • UNDERSTAND THE STAKES AND
  • EVERYBODY SAYING WE HAVE TO
  • HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST AND
  • LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
  • THERE IS NO BETTER HEART, THERE
  • IS NO BETTER MAN AND HONESTLY
  • WHEN IT COMES DOWN -- THAT HAS
  • NEVER BEEN WHO JOE BIDEN HAS
  • BEEN.
  • I THINK THAT OBAMA HURT US A
  • LITTLE BIT AND LORD KNOWS I
  • LOVE HIM, BUT WE GOT USED TO
  • THIS AMAZING ORATOR.
  • THEN YOU HAVE TRUMP, HE IS NOT
  • AMAZING WHATSOEVER, BUT HE
  • KNOWS HOW TO KEEP TALKING AND
  • HE WILL SAY ANYTHING.
  • ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS SO
  • FRUSTRATING TO ME WHEN I SAW
  • THIS DEBATE IN ATLANTA WAS THIS
  • FOOL TRIED TO TAKE CREDIT FOR
  • INSULIN PRICES.
  • I WAS LIKE THAT WAS THE PERFECT
  • 1:54
  • OPPORTUNITY.
  • 1:57
  • HE OBVIOUSLY IS SENILE, BECAUSE
  • 1:58
  • HE IS NOW TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT
  • 1:59
  • FOR MY LEGISLATION.
  • 2:05
  • I WOULD HAVE DOUBLE DOG DARED
  • HIM TO TELL ME WHAT BILL THAT
  • CAME OUT OF.
  • YOU KNOW, THIS GUY IS CRAZY.
  • HE'S EVIL AND THEN WHEN I
  • LISTENED TO THE SEGMENT BEFORE
  • AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
  • REALLY ISSUES AS IT RELATES TO
  • PROJECT 2025, BECAUSE THEY DO
  • WANT TO INSTALL LOYALISTS.
  • THEY DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT
  • WORKERS LIKE MY MAMA, WHO HAS
  • 2:28
  • ALWAYS WORKED FOR THE FEDERAL
  • 2:29
  • GOVERNMENT AS LONG AS I COULD
  • 2:31
  • REMEMBER.
  • 2:31
  • THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE
  • 2:32
  • INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE
  • 2:33
  • SURE THEY CAN CARRY OUR COUNTRY
  • 2:35
  • FORWARD AND THEY WORK UNDER
  • 2:36
  • WHICHEVER ADMINISTRATION,
  • 2:37
  • DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN.
  • 2:39
  • THEY DON'T SWEAR THE LOYALTY TO
  • 2:41
  • AND ORANGE JESUS.
  • 2:45
  • INSTEAD THEY SWEAR LOYALTY TO
  • 2:46
  • THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY AND
  • 2:48
  • OUR CONSTITUTION AND THAT IS
  • 2:50
  • THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE RUNNING
  • 2:51
  • INTO.
  • 2:52
  • SO I DON'T REALLY CARE IF HE
  • 2:54
  • WAS OFF FOR 90 MINUTES AND DID
  • 2:56
  • NOT PUT ON MY PEOPLE WANT HIM
  • 2:58
  • TO PUT ON.
  • 2:58
  • THE REALITY IS THAT HE HAS
  • 2:59
  • 50,000 TIMES BETTER THAN TRUMP
  • 3:00
  • AND REPUBLICANS WILL NOT LEAVE
  • TRUMP AND HE HAS 34 FELONY
  • CONVICTIONS.
  • AND STILL GOT --
  • >> YOU MAKE AN INTERESTING
  • POINT.
  • JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER BEEN A
  • MASTERFUL OR GREATER AND HAS
  • NEVER BEEN A PARTICULARLY
  • STRONG DEBATER.
  • IT IS NOT HIS STRENGTH.
  • THAT SAID, DONALD TRUMP IS A
  • 3:26
  • REMARKABLY USEFUL IDIOT FOR THE
  • 3:27
  • FAR RIGHT AND PROJECT 25 --
  • 3:30
  • 2025.
  • 3:31
  • THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION AND THE
  • 3:36
  • SUPER CONSERVATIVE
  • 3:36
  • ESTABLISHMENT IN THIS COUNTRY
  • 3:37
  • HAVE FOUND THEIR TOOL.
  • 3:42
  • IF HE GETS ELECTED, BECAUSE
  • 3:43
  • GENERALLY SPEAKING HE DOESN'T
  • 3:43
  • READ POLICY, CERTAINLY DOESN'T
  • 3:44
  • WRITE POLICY, SO THEY HAVE
  • 3:45
  • GIVEN HIM THE POLICY.
  • 3:46
  • HERE'S THE PROBLEM A LOT OF
  • 3:48
  • PEOPLE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT ARE
  • 3:49
  • NOT PEARL CLUTCHING ABOUT THIS.
  • 3:52
  • WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MOVE
  • 3:56
  • FORWARD AND DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP
  • 3:57
  • IN THE NEXT ELECTION AND HOW DO
  • 4:00
  • YOU CONVINCE VOTERS WHO BECAME
  • VERY SKEPTICAL ON THURSDAY
  • NIGHT THAT THIS IS STILL THE
  • PATH FORWARD?
  • >> HERE'S THE REALITY.
  • WE HAVE TWO CHOICES.
  • YOU CAN EITHER GO WITH DONALD
  • TRUMP, WHO GAVE US A SUPREME
  • COURT THAT IS CONTINUING TO DO
  • HARM.
  • WHO ABSOLUTELY PLANS TO PUT
  • 4:20
  • ADDITIONAL SUPREME COURT
  • 4:20
  • JUSTICES ON THE BENCH, AS WELL
  • 4:22
  • AS INSTALL OTHER IDIOTIC
  • 4:22
  • JUDGES.
  • 4:23
  • JUDGES.
  • 4:25
  • MECHANIC, SUCH AS IN TEXAS, WHO
  • 4:28
  • HANDLED THE MIFEPRISTONE CASE,
  • 4:32
  • IF THAT IS THE AMERICA YOU
  • 4:34
  • WANT, ABSOLUTELY GO AND VOTE
  • 4:35
  • FOR DONALD TRUMP.
  • 4:35
  • IF YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR AMERICA
  • 4:37
  • WHERE REPRO IS A REALITY, IF
  • 4:39
  • YOU WANT A REALITY WHERE YOU
  • 4:44
  • CAN LOVE WHO YOU WANT TO LOVE,
  • 4:46
  • THAT IS GOING TO BE JOE BIDEN'S
  • 4:47
  • AMERICA.
  • 4:48
  • LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT
  • 4:49
  • THIS FOOL WANTED TO TELL US
  • 4:50
  • ABOUT BLACK JOBS.
  • 4:51
  • LET'S BE CLEAR.
  • 4:52
  • DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT
  • 4:57
  • UNDERSTAND BLACK CULTURE.
  • 4:57
  • WHAT HE IS DOING IS PLAYING IN
  • 4:59
  • OUR FACES AND HE HAS GOT PEOPLE
  • 5:00
  • HE WANTS TO SIT UP THERE AND
  • THROW OUT HIS LITTLE TOKENS AND
  • BE LIKE, HEY, LOOK AT MY LITTLE
  • BLACK FRIEND. THAT IS
  • ESSENTIALLY WHAT HE DOES.
  • AT THE END OF THE DAY, I NEED
  • PEOPLE TO CHOOSE THEMSELVES.
  • IF EVERYONE IS SAYING, THE
  • ECONOMY IS NUMBER ONE, PLEASE Y
  • TELL ME WHY YOU WOULD VOTE FOR
  • DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE REFUSED TO
  • ANSWER ANY ECONOMIC QUESTION.
  • HE HAS NO PLAN COME HE NEVER
  • HAS HAD A PLAN, AND THE ONLY
  • PLAN HE PLANS TO FOLLOW IS THE
  • 5:25
  • MANIFESTO THAT HAS BEEN LAID
  • 5:26
  • OUT IN PROJECT 2025, THAT
  • 5:28
  • BELIEVES THAT THE EI IS THE END
  • 5:31
  • OF US. THAT MEANS PEOPLE LIKE
  • 5:33
  • ME, PEOPLE OF COLOR, WOMEN,
  • 5:34
  • THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR THEM.
  • 5:36
  • THEY WANT TO EXCOMMUNICATE US.
  • 5:40
  • THEY ARE TRYING TO GIVE THE
  • 5:41
  • KEYS OVER TO THE WHITE
  • 5:43
  • SUPREMACIST, AS WE ALSO SAW THE
  • 5:44
  • SUPREME COURT TO DO EARLIER
  • 5:46
  • THIS WEEK, AS IT RELATES TO THE
  • 5:48
  • INSURRECTIONIST.
  • 5:49
  • I NEED PEOPLE TO WAKE UP.
  • 5:50
  • I KNOW THAT THEY SAY THEY DO
  • 5:52
  • NOT WANT US TO BE WOKE, THIS IS
  • 5:54
  • EXACTLY WHY. BECAUSE THEY WANT
  • 5:56
  • US TO BE SLEEP WHILE THEY
  • 5:59
  • CONTINUE TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS,
  • 6:01
  • WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO REFORM
  • OUR COURTS, THEY CONTINUE TO
  • SAY THAT WE DON'T WANT YOU TO
  • HAVE ACCESS TO THE BALLOT BOX.
  • THIS IS ABOUT ALL OF US.
  • IF PEOPLE WANT TO BE HONEST
  • WITH THEMSELVES, WHAT THEY NEEDS
  • TO DO IS LOOK AT WHICH TEAM
  • DELIVERS FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE
  • HAPPY ABOUT THE DOLLARS FLOWING
  • INTO YOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF
  • THE INFRASTRUCTURE, BECAUSE OF
  • THE CHIPS AND SCIENCE BILL,
  • BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTION IN THE
  • COST OF INSULIN, THAT WAS DUE
  • TO THE DEMOCRATS, HOUSE
  • DEMOCRATS, SENATE DEMOCRATS,
  • AND DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION,
  • IT IS TIME TO CHOOSE YOURSELF
  • AND FIGURE OUT WHICH TEAM IS
  • RIDING WITH YOU. IF YOU WANT
  • MORE OF THE CHAOS WE HAVE SEEN
  • OUT OF THIS HOUSE, THAT IS ALL
  • YOU ARE GOING TO GET, TIMES
  • THREE, IF YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH
  • DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE HE IS
  • LOUD AND WRONG.
  • >> DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE
  • JASMINE CROCKETT BRINGING IT
  • THIS MORNING.
  • THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. AS
