What happens when a razor-sharp elected official and a relentlessly curious host sit down to discuss what it takes to make lasting change? This week, JVN is joined by the unstoppable Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett — U.S. Representative from Texas, lawyer, lay it on the line truth-teller, and rising voice in the Democratic Party. Together, they unpack how to maximize our impact by understanding our political systems, tackle the messy reality of party politics, and hypothesize where Democrats are headed next. They also dive into Rep. Crockett's background as a public defender and evaluate the difference between committing a crime and having a criminal mindset, how racism shows up in redistricting battles from Texas to California, and yes — Rep. Crockett breaks down her now-iconic “bleach blonde bad built butch body” clapback.  00:00 Welcome Congresswoman Jasmine Crocket 06:00 The Future of the Democratic Party 13:00 Understanding Systems for Max Impact 17:00 Committing a Crime vs. Criminal Mindset 26:00 Racism & Redistricting 37:25 Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body 38:40 The Impact 40:00 Action Items 44:30 Political Gaslighting https://www.instagram.com/repjasmine https://www.instagram.com/jvn https://www.instagram.com/gettingbetterwithjvn Check out the JVN Patreon for exclusive BTS content, extra interviews, and much much more - check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/jvn Take the online quiz and introduce Ollie to your pet.
