What? What was one six like for you? What happened to you that day?

When I saw the noose hanging up there. It was really strange for me because I just worked with Lee

Daniels on the United States versus Billy Holliday where she was singing you know strange fruit

based on the lynchings that she had seen and then I also thought about I just

read the book the devil you know and that the lynchings that he talked about the

five thousand or so lynches before the Civil War and I'm thinking and looking at

that noose and looking at them I said well they say that that's supposed to be for

pence that they're gonna hang him but I wonder I wonder first of all if they're gonna

hang a white man and secondly I wonder how many of us

they would hang if we showed up and got in the way.

I just thought that, yeah, certainly I would have been killed.

Maxine Waters has been an incredibly important Congressperson for a very long time.

I could not wait to talk to her about raising the minimum wage, getting COVID relief out to people, and just how she is able to find success as a Congress person.

Couldn't wait to do this conversation.

It's Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Torrey Show.

One of the things that people have been talking about since the beginning of this is what are we going to do for renters?

How are people who are renters going to survive when a lot of them are not able to work or

they're working at far lesser wages and a lot of homeowners have been helped.

We were able to pause our mortgage for three to six months or

more last year and now you're trying to get something done for renters. What have you been able to do and how did you do it?

Did you have because I know there's horse trading that goes on. Did you have to

give away certain things to get the protection for renters?
