Fake nails, fake lashes, and a fake ghetto accent. Welcome to the new star of a Democrat party.
So Representative Jasmine Crockett has officially launched her bid for Senate. And so today I am dedicating this episode to her. I feel like all of us, just the Internet world in general, we've just written her off as dumb. But I don't think everyone knows just how truly dumb and fake she actually is. So today we're gonna get into that. Before we do though, make sure you guys go to check out cooperconfidential.com. that is where you'll find all the farm vlogs and the behind the scenes content. We just had 10 baby piccolos born on the farm, so we're gonna be uploading videos about that very soon. Plus ad free episodes. All of that good stuff. Anyway, let's just dive right into this with a little bit of backstory because Representative Crockett burst on the political scene back in 2021 when she was elected to the Texas House of Representatives. And then in 2023, she was elected to Congress. But for some added context, in case anybody has forgotten or just didn't know, she. She really staked her claim in the political landscape after this now viral infamous altercation with AOC and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Just watch.
D
Do you know what we're here for? You know we're here about aoc.
B
I don't think you know what you're here for.
D
Well, you the ones talking about. I just.
B
I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your. Hold on, hold on.
D
Listen.
B
How dare you eating with suspicion of another person. Are your feelings hurt? Her words down.
E
Oh.
D
Oh, girl. Baby girl.
B
Oh, really?
D
Don't even play baby girl.
B
I don't think we are going to.
F
Move and we're going to take your words down.
A
I second that motion.
D
Crockett, I'm just curious just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities. Correct.
A
A what now?
B
So first of all, you have Marjorie Taylor, who, like, obviously she is slinging an ad hominen attack. She's fun of Jasmine Crockett's physical appearance, but she says it so casually, like a throwaway comment. AOC takes it so personally. That's who's talking next. Oh, baby girl, she is snapping, she's angry. She's not playing about Jasmine Crockett. And then Jasmine Crockett claps back with the bleach blonde, butch bodied, whatever that comment is. But my favorite part of this entire altercation is you have these women, they are clawing at each other. It's a cat fight. And you have these two old men. I mean, I don't even know who these people are. Like, I talk about politics, but I don't even. Like, these people are boring to me. You have these men and they're just sitting there like, what? Like the brunette man looks over and is like, what did I just hear? What happens later on in the clip is that the white hair man again, who. I should figure out who these people are. I'm not going to. You have these three women, they are just cat fighting at each other. And then it cuts to these two men who are like, I'm sorry, what just happened? And then fast forward a few seconds and one of them is like, I'm sorry, could you just repeat that? I have two hearing aids.
E
And.
B
And Jasmine Crockett is like, okay, nevermind. Anyway, this went viral back in 2024. There were snaps, there were applause. Everybody was like, queen Jasmine Crockett going up against the evil Marjorie Taylor Greene. All the things the women were fighting online, it was hysterical. But again, it staked her claim in the political landscape. Somebody commented and said, who needs TV shows when I can watch this in real life? Exactly. That all took place back in 2024. And from there, she just became a lightning rod for the Democrats. And you could not criticize her or her eyelashes, obviously, because of racism, you couldn't touch her at all. And so since then, her very short political career has consisted of more yelling spats in Congress and ghetto mic drop moments. And that, of course, got the attention of none other than Kamala Harris, who just A couple of months ago, went on Jon Stewart's podcast and called her a superstar in the Democrat Party. Just watch. We have so many stars in our party. There are so many stars, and let's not be afraid of them. You just look at the range of what we have. So many. Jasmine Crockett, who I just talked to recently, I mean, we have so many stars. So my favorite part of this video is Jon Stewart at the beginning, and he's kind of doing this. And Kamala's like, no, we have lots of stars. And I feel like John Stewart is looking around and going, ugh. Kamala. I feel like we don't. I feel like we just watched your absolute bust a political race. Well, who do we have? Pete Buttigieg on his bicycle, Tim Walls and the jazz hands? Like, we really don't have any stars. And Kamala is like, yes, we do. Jasmine Crockett. It's the only name that she is able to cough up. Let's just say that Jasmine, she took that to heart. Because even though Jasmine Crockett has the highest unfavorability rating of a candidate in the entire state of Texas, she decided that she is a star and that she was going to run for Senate. From there. She decided that the world needed more of Jasmine Crockett. And that, unfortunately, is how we have ended up here today. So I'm just going to go ahead and blame Kamala Harris for putting us in this situation. And, guys, I'm not putting words in her mouth that she thinks that we need more of her, because when she announced her candidacy, when she came on stage and did her speech, she said that we needed her voice to be louder.
D
There are a lot of people that said, you got to stay in the House. We need our voice. We need you there. And I understand.
But what we need is for me to have a bigger voice. What we need is not only a voice, but we need to make sure that we are going to stop.
B
This is so great, because it completely sums up her ego. You have her advisors. You have people in Congress. Whoever's speaking to her saying, please don't do this. Please do not run. It's a miracle that you were elected to the House of Representatives in the first place. We need you there. The Democrats are like, please don't move anything around. She's like, no, no, no, thank you. My voice needs to be loud. The people. The people need me in the Senate. And everyone around her is like, please, look at the polls. We are begging you not to do this. But it's Jasmine Crockett, she was not going to be deterred. And in thinking about what she just said there, I have to say, it feels like a common trend of just saying that, you know, these women, their voices need to be louder. Like her, Michelle Obama. Like Michelle Obama. On her podcast earlier this summer, she was like, black women are always having to be silenced. We need to be louder. Okay, again, Michelle, you were the first lady. You have written countless books. You get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to go speak. You just published a book of photos of yourself. I think you are loud enough. Like, are you seriously telling us that black women need to be louder? Do we live in the same society? Anyway, moving on from that, somebody commented and said, bigger voice is politician speak for I want more cameras pointed at me. Like, literally. That is exactly the reason why Jasmine is doing this. Matt Walsh had a great post on this this morning. It he said that people used to get into politics because of power. And that's kind of the colloquial thing to say. It's like, oh, they just want more power. They want more power. But now in 2025, Matt is arguing that it is not for power in that sense, but it is for attention. I have his tweet here, and he said, what most of you have to understand about the majority of politicians in 2025 is that most of them actually aren't hungry for power. That was the vice of politicians in the old days. These days, they just want attention. They want to be influencers. They would trade their political office for 20 million Instagram followers in a second. The Jasmine Crocketts of the world aren't scheming to become president. They are scheming to become podcast hosts. Everything starts to make sense when you understand this point. Now, I love everything Matt said right here, but it reminds me of something that I read about Kamala this morning. Not to bring Kamala back into this episode, but somebody did an interview with her and they took away from that conversation that Kamala has a lot to say, but she just doesn't know what she wants to say. But she definitely wants to be speaking like that basically sums up the entirety of Matt's tweet. These politicians, they want the cameras, they want the press, they want the future podcast microphone, which In 2025, we could argue is the new type of power. So maybe they do want the power. They just want it through attention. Influence is power, and Jasmine Crockett desperately wants it. And I realize the irony of me talking about all of this as I sit behind a YouTube and podcast microphone. But let's be real. I do not want the power. I just want enough money to be able to have millions of Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle blankets.
E

All right, now back to our friend Jasmine Crockett. I mean, she is so self obsessed that in a recent Atlantic profile, the writer said that her lock screen is a photo of herself. The line reads she was highly conscious too, of her self presentation. During many of our conversations, Crockett wore acrylic nails painted with the word resist and a set of heavy lashes over her brush brown eyes. The lock screen on her phone is a headshot of herself. And all of this makes me think like, okay, you know, maybe finally Trump has met his match. But the thing is like there is no smoke and mirrors when it comes to Trump. When it comes to his personality, his ego, his humor. We all know what we're getting. Whether you love him or hate him, that is out there, we all know. But it is all smoke and mirrors when it comes to this woman. And we're going to talk about that in a little bit. But back to Trump. Even though Crockett is saying that she wants her voice to that we all need her voice. We need to hear her. She really seems to care more about Trump's voice, which is very common in 2025. And that must be why the only thing that was playing in her very first campaign ad was his voice. Just listen.
A
How about this new one? They have their new star, Crockett. How about her? She's the new star of the Democrat Party, Jasmine Crockett. They're in big trouble. But you have this woman, Crockett. She's a very low IQ person. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. Crockett. Oh, man. Oh, man. She's a very low IQ person.
Somebody said the other day, she's one of the leaders of the party. I said, you gotta be kidding. Now they're gonna rely on Crockett. Crockett's gonna bring him back.
B
God, I love it. Crockett. Crockett. That low IQ person. Where did he lie? Everything he said is completely accurate. Now, I did say that we need to blame Kamala for running for Senate. Maybe we also need to blame Trump because he was also gassing her up here. Like, maybe she thought, oh, he actually thinks I'm a star. I must really be a star. You are not. You are. Crack it. The low IQ individual. Trump was not exaggerating there. He was not telling lies. She is, in fact, a low IQ individual. This right here is all the evidence that you need. Just watch.
D
And so I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset, guys.
B
It's all just a mindset. I can't. I can't believe I didn't think about that. Oh, my gosh. All these criminals, they just had the wrong mindset about that. What is going on here? Okay, now, if you didn't know, the podcast host that she's speaking with is Jonathan Van Ness. He's from Queer Eye. From the Straight Guy. Well, that was the original show, but Netflix is Queer Eye. He has a whole slew of issues. He has been canceled time and time again. So many people hate him. Apparently, he's, like, not a very nice person. He has insane political takes, but that is who is interviewing her. And my favorite part of the video is not just the things that she's saying, which are so asinine, but it's his validation and affirmation. Like, the camera cuts to him and he's like, that might be one of my favorite genres of content on the Internet is watching the most insane interviews. Like, whether it is the Meghan Markle thing where she's talking about how she's some oppressed victim and. And all the podcast hosts are like, yes, tell me more. Like, how are we sitting here pretending like all of this is normal, like, this is honest, like, this is intelligent? I mean, it is so insane. Somebody commented and said, she is a blessing to the political right. I certainly hope so. If she wins, we have a major problem. Somebody else said, crocotisms are stupidity delivered with confidence. And that's so key. That's really astute comment, because if you say things like that enough that, you know people who commit crimes are not actually criminals, if you say it confidently enough and loud enough, people will start to believe that they will say it with their chest. And then it makes it harder to fight back against that because you're like, man, all these people really seem to believe this thing. That sounds so insane, but it's because they've tricked themselves and you into believing it. Anyway, going back to her campaign ad, what stood out to me the most is the completely obvious obsession with Trump. Like, love him or hate him, he is still dominating politics. I mean, Republicans are running campaigns purely based on his endorsement. That's what we just saw in Tennessee with Matt Van Epps. Thank God he won. I'm so glad he won. But his entire website, his entire campaign was just, I'm maga. And on the flip side, Democrats are running on how they're gonna fight him or how much he hates them. Like, what about crazy idea? What about the American people? Do our ideas count? Do you want to speak to us? Do our voices matter? Apparently not to Jasmine Crockett, because it's only her voice needs to be loud, needs to be bigger. And obviously she does not care about that. Glenn Greenwald summed this up well, and he tweeted and said, if someone were to ask me to show the emptiness, the pointlessness, the vapidity of the Democratic Party in one short video, I would show them this Crockett ad. She says nothing. She expresses no views, no policies, just a Trump centric ad with poser. Resistance. And poser is the key word there. That is incredibly important. Because the one thing, if you take one thing away from this episode, what you need to know, it should be that word. Because the big thing that Jasmine wants Americans to know about herself is that she wants you to think that she's just a normal Girl from the hood. If you listen to some of her videos and I come across your social media, you, you might be convinced. I mean, just take a look at this one.
D
These people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is. Yeah. I don't know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with their co workers, staffers, interns, all the things. Yeah, you ain't got to believe me. Just go Google. You'll find some of it, I'm telling you. And the wives is being messy and petty. They putting it in the divorce. I'm like, ooh, that's gotta be true.
B
I mean, woo. How Christian they is. What is happening? Like, genuinely, what is going on? Like, this might be worse than Kamala saying that she's washing her collard greens in the bathtub. Her drunken slurred conversations when she's out campaigning in the hood. Like, this might actually be worse. I mean, it is almost as bad as son of the Getty family attorney, gelled hair, Burberry scarf wearing Gavin Newsom telling us that when he was a teenager he was out there hustling in them streets. Like, I'm sorry, it is all fake. It is all fake. It's all made up. And I'm proving it to you because now watch this.
D
First of all, it's good to see you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now looks like a little bit over a year ago that I would be running for Congress.
B
I mean, in that video, she seems intelligent, she seems sweet, she seems humble. She's like, I just, I really can't believe it. Her voice is, you know, endearing and, and soft and kind. A far cry from the woman that we now know since the viral beach blonde, butch bodied Marjorie Taylor Greene viral video. But that right there is who Jasmine Crockett really is. Jasmine Crockett is not actually from Texas where she's running. She is from one of the most affluent and Republican, I might add, suburbs of St. Louis. But what is even more interesting is that Jasmine acts like she was educated out in the streets, that she was out hustling in the hood as a, a young woman. But actually she was educated at the number one private day school in the entire state of Missouri. Actually one of the top private schools in the United States. It's the mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School. It is a private school with a hefty $35,000 price tag. And you would think that if you're charging parents that much money, you would actually be teaching these young people how to speak. But I guess not, considering what we are seeing in the halls of Congress on a daily basis. Or. Or maybe Jasmine just knows that it pays to pander to the black community. It pays to be a token angry black woman for the Democrat Party, because that is exactly what she's doing now. Moving on from the private day school in the suburbs of St. Louis, Jasmine then went to school at Rhodes College, one of the most expensive universities in the country. It's a small liberal arts school here in Tennessee, actually. And I don't know what happened there. Maybe they taught a class on code switch switching and political pandering, because that is really what we are seeing every single time Jasmine opens up her mouth. But even with all of these opportunities, with the expensive, renowned education that she received, Jasmine Crockett is so hell bent on peddling oppression every single day. And one of her big ideas is that we need to send reparation checks to black Americans. And, you know, she would have them just not pay taxes because that would save them money. But so many of them already don't pay taxes. So she has to come up with an alternative.
D
Black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time, because then again, that puts money back in your pocket. But at the same time, it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars. But obviously then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that. And that's one of the reasons that, you know, we argue the reparations make sense because so many black folk, not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the other things, right? But the fact is, like, we end up being so far behind. Right? And so it's like, how do you bring forth people? Exactly. And so it's like if you. If you do the no tax thing, for people that are already, say, struggling and aren't really paying taxes in the first place, it doesn't really. Exactly.
B
Okay. You know, we just talked about the interviewers who are just affirming everything. This might be the most perfect example. Like, what is this girl doing? She's sitting there holding them, like, oh, oh, yeah, that. Like she's finishing Jasmine's sentences but not actually saying anything, while Jasmine also isn't really saying anything. Like, what was she saying about reparations when they need money for the labor and the killing and the other stuff like that sounds really profound. That's very intellectual, Jasmine. Thank you so very much for sharing that. I mean, like, listening to her speak makes me feel like I just put my brain in a blender. Somebody commented and said being this stupid all the time has to to be a full time job. Well, that's the thing. It is. It's literally her full time job. And unfortunately, we are the ones footing the bill now. Actually, I will say Jasmine did make a good point there. She was like, if we reduce taxes, if we didn't make them pay taxes, it'd be more money in their pockets. I love that idea. Maybe you could let me do that. For having to sit through your insane rambling, for having to pay for your salary, I deserve reparations for that. Jasmine Crockett, thank you very much. I look forward to receiving my check in the mail. Now, moving on from that, while she is, you know, hell bent on reparations for black people and freeing them from slavery, she is also, ironically, trying to put Mexican Americans onto the plantation because she literally said that Mexicans who voted for Trump have a slave mentality. Greg Price posted about this in light of her new campaign and said flashback. Jasmine Crockett on Hispanics who voted for President Trump and opposed legal immigration. Quote, it's almost like they have a slave mentality. Hispanics are over 40% of the population in Texas and President Trump won them in 2024 by 11 points. So because they voted for Trump, because they don't want people flooding into our country illegally, taking their jobs, ruining their reputations, they hate themselves and they have a slave mentality and need you, the benevolent Jasmine Crockett, to free them. No, I'm sorry. I think you need to focus on freeing yourself from that godforsaken accent and therefore freeing us from ever having to hear that again. Again, it is all and act. But the good thing is the facade is starting to crack. I mean, even the rapper at her campaign rally couldn't even get it all together and get it right. Just watch, okay?
G
She ain't never scared and she ain't never been. Who was willing to go toe to toe against the President. I can't wrap my head around someone who votes Republican. She advocate for feeding kids, they protect folks, touching them. Trump invading his own country with her army. What a change. We remember Pearl harbor by illegally bombing boats, which I thought we wasn't gonna do Nothing, buddy. Think again. They only trying to scare out her running cause they think she'll win. Listen. Thought I told y' all we ain't never scared. Now look who name on the docket got Two words for every racist bigot. Jasmine Crockett.
B
Y' all hear the words. So he literally cannot even remember the words to his own rap. He has it playing in the background. He's reading his lyrics of his rap and he cannot even get the words out. So that's one point that we need to make. Second point like, of course she has a rapper. Of course she has a rapper opening for her. She's like, alright, so I'm gonna put on my black set, I'm gonna have a rapper come out. Everybody in the hood's gonna vote for me. Cause I'm a hustler. I didn't go to a day school that cost $35,000. I didn't go to Rhodes College which costs $75,000 a year. I'm just a girl from the streets with a rapper who cannot even sing the right lyrics, rap the right lyrics, don't even know what I'm saying. It's days like these when I really am grateful for Donald Trump. I'm grateful for him and his big ass iPad with his Spotify playlist opened up with Ave Maria Hallelujah gracing the halls of the White House of Mar A Lago. Like that is what we need now. I will say, I don't know which rap is worse, this one or this one that we all had to endure this summer.
Yes. In case you forgot, Mamdani, before he decided that he wanted to be a politician, he was a shirtless rapper rapping out of the back of a New York City burrito truck. Hot dog truck. Don't know what it is, don't really care. Just make it all end. I wish that I never had to see one of those videos ever again. I mean, who am I kidding? Obviously I want to see them again because they're funny, but you get the point. Like I waver back and forth between loving things like this and laughing at it. You know, all the Trump memes we've talked about, the viral moments, because it objectively is hilarious. It makes good content, it makes my day. And then I flip over to just being flat out depressed and black pilled because all of it is just so absurd. It's so upside down, it's so out of touch. I'm like, is this really the legacy of America? Like, is this really what the Founding Fathers wanted for us? Obviously not now, thankfully. I will say I feel like Jasmine Crockett doesn't really have a shot. And I know, I know you're going to be protesting, but just hold on. Because if a Democrat is going to win Texas. I don't think it will be her. There are other Democrats who are running that are a little more centrist, that are speaking to both sides, that are moderate, reaching out to Trump voters. And that is something that Jasmine has said that she flat out does not need to do.
E
How you make voters who previously have voted for Trump, particularly given that you have been an outspoken critic and he has inserted himself. Just take your campaign video as is. He has inserted himself at every turn when it comes to your commentary. How will you convert those who are supportive of him to voters for you?
D
Yeah, I don't know that we'll necessarily convert all of Trump's supporters. That's not our goal.
E
Do you need to?
D
Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No, we don't. We don't need to.
B
She's not going to convert Trump voters and she does not need to. It reminds me of Katie Porter in California who was like, I don't need you. I don't want you. Really? That does not seem like a great way to win an election. Like Ma' Am. Jasmine Crockett. It is Texas. You actually kind of do need them. I know that Texas is kind of purple, it's kind of squishy these days, but still, you do need them. But also, we have to acknowledge that we just saw Jay Jones sweep the election in Virginia after he literally said that he wished he could see his opponents, his Republican opponents, children die in their mother's arms. That was something we witnessed. That is something he admitted to. That was all over social media and people stood still, voted for him. So it could be a toss up. But the one hope is that it is Texas. And so when push comes to shove, I hope that the Republican voters of Texas show up for this election when the time comes, and that the Republican candidates, possibly even more importantly, actually campaign that they campaign on something that is not just an endorsement of Donald Trump, that the GOP actually throws their support behind them. Because we need that cannot be playing games anymore. We cannot just be laughing and pointing fingers. We need real work and focus, please, God, on the people. They want their voices heard. They are tired of the shenanigans.
Host: Brett Cooper
In this episode, Brett Cooper delves into the Senate campaign of Representative Jasmine Crockett, interrogating her qualifications, political persona, and the broader cultural themes shaping American politics.
