00:00Party B has a few choice words for people who are criticizing her step into politics.
00:06More than a few, actually.
00:07Yeah, more than a few.
00:10As usual, she has several choice words because she spoke at a Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee
00:16over the weekend and delivered a speech under duress.
00:19I say under duress because the teleprompter went out and suddenly she had to read the
00:24speech.
00:25She couldn't remember it.
00:26She said that she had written it all out.
00:27I get this.
00:28Right.
00:29Because when you expect the teleprompter is going to work and you have a speech, you don't
00:33try and memorize it.
00:34Right.
00:35And then all of a sudden, it's like…
00:36And then the teleprompter goes out.
00:37Yeah.
00:38I get it.
00:39So, here's how she handled it and then we'll get into the criticism and how she is firing
00:44back at that criticism.
00:45So, I don't take lightly the call.
00:48Sorry, guys.
00:49I'm a little nervous.
00:50I'm a little nervous, guys.
00:51I've been waiting for this moment my whole life.
00:52My whole life.
00:53I need patience over here.
00:54Patience, where are you, girl?
00:55Are we ready to change these four years?
00:56No.
00:57Are we ready to change the next eight years?
00:58Because we're going to make sure we have…
00:59Kamala Harris in office for eight years.
01:01This is the funniest part.
01:02Yes.
01:03It sounds like she's asking the crowd to be patient with her.
01:04Her publicist name is Patience.
01:05Patience.
01:06Patience.
01:07Patience.
01:08Patience.
01:09Patience.
01:10Patience.
01:11Patience.
01:12Patience.
01:13Patience.
01:14Patience.
01:15Patience.
01:16Patience.
01:17Patience.
01:18Patience.
01:19Patience.
01:20Patience.
01:21Patience.
01:22Patience.
01:23Patience.
01:24Patience.
01:25Patience.
01:26Patience.
01:27Patience.
01:28Patience.
01:29Right.
01:30You saw Patience walk up there with a phone.
01:31Yes.
01:32Exactly.
01:33So, that's why she said that.
01:34And then she delivered her speech, reading it off her phone, and there were people like,
01:35oh, you shouldn't be reading your speech.
01:36Anyway.
01:37But the reason that's so unfair is that both candidates have teleprompters.
01:40Right.
01:41They use teleprompters all the time.
01:43And so there shouldn't be criticism, but there was.
01:45Yes.
01:46But don't worry.
01:47Cardi can handle the critics.
01:50Here's what she had to say.
01:51I work so hard bro, I work so hard on my speech and a lot of y'all talking about like, oh
01:57why you reading it from your phone.
01:59Bitch I had to write it down because I had to make, bitch I'm 32 years old bitch and
02:07I have three kids, my mind is racing the whole day bitch.
02:10Like it's like sometimes, sometimes bitch I be arguing on my shower, like rehearsing
02:17what I'm going to tell when I see them.
02:19And you know what, I forget what I be telling, I'm like damn I was in the shower for 30 minutes.
02:24So you know when it comes to the shit I hear, I been knew what I been wanting to say but
02:28I had to make sure I didn't forget so I wrote this shit down because y'all going to hear
02:32the shit I wanted to, y'all going to hear the shit I had to say.
02:37I think that is the perfect reason why she needs to have it written down.
02:42Do you want that?
02:43That was so entertaining.
02:44Yes, yes.
02:45That is the Cardi we know and love, raw and unfiltered.
02:49I thought she did a great job with the speech.
02:51You know this is actually in response to Elon Musk tweeted that she was another puppet being
02:55fed words.
02:56I think they're trying to draw a contrast between the way Donald Trump uses a teleprompter
02:59which is he uses it but he veers off and he weaves things together.
03:03She stayed strict to a script that she was reading off her phone but I think it's because
03:07she wanted to stay on message and she viewed it as an important moment to deliver a message
03:11about turnout for the election.
03:13Yeah and she had, she spent time thinking about what she wanted to say and she wrote
03:18And you want thoughtful speakers at these things, not just people who are showing up
03:21because they're a celebrity.
03:23Like if you're going to show up, have some substance and she had it, she had to read
03:27it off her phone.
03:28Which is fine.
03:29Yes, totally fine.
03:30My gosh, it's like this is what we're arguing about now.
03:33I'm Janelle Hicks, I'm from Felton, Delaware and honestly I feel like people forget that
03:38Cardi B loves political science.
03:41She loves getting into politics and I feel like people really just take what she says
03:48for granted because she's a girl from the hood and she used to be a stripper but I love
03:53Cardi B and I think that honestly her speech was one of the most relatable speeches at
03:59a Kamala rally thus far so I think she did awesome.
04:03I'm sure that's what the Harris-Waltz campaign is thinking also.
