1 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,200 This is Rumble with Michael Moore and I'm Michael Moore. 2 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,600 5G, right? We've been inundated with 3 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,700 commercials for the last year on 5G, Wireless from Verizon and 4 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:44,800 AT&T. While the head of the pilots 5 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,400 Union, airline pilots has said that 5G, is going to interfere 6 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,200 with a particular radio device that's in. 7 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,600 Every cockpit that tells the pilot, how close to the ground 8 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800 that the plane is, you know, until it says Okay, we're at 9 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,200 1,000 feet from the ground, where 100 feet were 50 feet. 10 00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,900 They got to know exactly how close this plane is flying to 11 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:12,400 the ground. Obviously, 5G apparently doesn't 12 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,000 allow that that piece of radio equipment to work in the 13 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,600 cockpit. So so the Air Line Pilots 14 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600 Association and others have been begging for months to slow this 15 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 5G thing down or to remove it from anywhere within a couple of 16 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800 miles from an airport. Well, of course, AT&T I'm Risin 17 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:34,800 they don't want you to not have your 5G when you're at the 18 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,500 airport. So they're risking their risking 19 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,200 a pilot, not being able to get the information that she or he 20 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,800 needs to land the plane safely. This is crazy. 21 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,500 I mean, they've already done this in Europe, you know, France 22 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,300 and other countries, you know, like you got to be at least a 23 00:01:53,308 --> 00:01:55,300 couple of miles away from the airport. 24 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,900 So it doesn't interfere with the airline Communications not here. 25 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,200 We're not here. And so just as we were, you 26 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600 know, preparing this while I was waiting for the jackhammering to 27 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,600 stop. A thing came across a bulletin 28 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,900 across the phone here saying that they're going to put a 29 00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,000 pause at some of the airports on some of these antennas so that 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,400 the planes don't crash. Some of the airport's, some of 31 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,700 the planes. Some what the where are we? 32 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:35,900 What is going on? I mean, seriously. 33 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,800 I, you know, it's and if it's if it's not that it's something 34 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,100 else. I mean they announced you can go 35 00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,700 to the this website that's connected with the US Postal 36 00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:52,900 Service. That's our, United States Post 37 00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:56,900 Office to order for at-home test kits. 38 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400 Which is an enough, but that's going to be beside the point 39 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,400 here. You can order them in the post 40 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,900 office will deliver them to you. Does anybody think that the post 41 00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:12,300 office that Donald Trump created and where we still have Trump's 42 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:16,800 Postmaster General? This loony tune of a guy who has 43 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,200 no postal experience other than he wrote a check to Trump for 44 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,900 his campaign. So Trump made him Postmaster 45 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:31,600 General. Does anybody think that that 300 46 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,300 million Americans getting a home test kit for covid? 47 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,300 Is that this is going to happen? I feel so bad for by, don't know 48 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,500 why he's even announcing this. He's announcing a depending on 49 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,700 Trump's Postmaster General, getting everybody at home test 50 00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,000 kit. We all know this isn't going to 51 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,500 happen. I mean you could, you know, 52 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:55,400 write me a couple days when you have your test kits and and I'll 53 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,600 apologize for suggesting that this isn't going to happen but 54 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,500 if we can't even get it together, To put the 5G antennas 55 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:09,200 in the right place so that a plane doesn't crash. 56 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:17,399 I mean what has happened to us? What has happened to us? 57 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,600 It's it it's just one thing after another, isn't it? 58 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,100 and what a week or two weeks, this has been I mean, the 59 00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:37,100 Supreme Court. the Supreme Court as we all know is planning to 60 00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:44,400 issue their decree, probably in June maybe before then That 61 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:50,500 women will no longer have a universal Federal, right? 62 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:56,800 To end a pregnancy that they don't want to remove a 63 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,700 fertilized egg from themselves. Not a human being fertilized, 64 00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:06,000 egg, and, and they're going to do that. 65 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,900 A lot of women are going to die as a result of that. 66 00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:11,800 We're going to go back to the old days. 67 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,300 Some of you are too young to remember the old days back in 68 00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,900 the old days. If you got pregnant, when 69 00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:21,500 abortion was illegal, you either tried to self-abort, IE, 70 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:26,300 mutilate, yourself and many women were permanently harmed. 71 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,500 Couldn't have babies after that and died. 72 00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,000 Or they want to what was called a back alley abortion. 73 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,800 In other words, somebody is not a doctor but who is willing to 74 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,900 perform an abortion on you, you know, in their home and their 75 00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:45,700 apartment on the kitchen table, whatever, that's the way it used 76 00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:49,900 to be and women died. So they're getting ready to 77 00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,600 issue this decision in a few months to kill off a bunch of 78 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,500 these women who would dare to have an abortion. 79 00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:01,900 But this Supreme Court thought, you know what, why do we have to 80 00:06:01,907 --> 00:06:05,000 wait till June to start killing people? 81 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,500 Why don't we start now? And so last week, they blocked, 82 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,200 President Biden's order that corporations with more than 100 83 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,700 employees have to require that those employees. 84 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,000 If they're coming to work, have to be vaccinated or they have to 85 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,700 test on a weekly basis, or whatever, which by the way is an 86 00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:33,400 isn't enough. So so that means once that, that 87 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,400 mandate was removed. And they, by the way that is 88 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,900 supported by the majority of corporations in this country 89 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,300 they some corporations have already started to order the 90 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,200 employees to be vaccinated because not being vaccinated is 91 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,900 bad for business because when they have let the unvaccinated 92 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,800 show up to work and infect other people or get infected 93 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,500 themselves productivity goes down. 94 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:09,900 Corporate America, isn't able to make the things they'd like to 95 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:15,700 make, which primarily is money because they've got all these 96 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:19,600 sick people now because of the unvaccinated coming to work. 97 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,700 So they just go on ahead, all kinds of Corporations, big 98 00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,900 corporations have gone ahead and said no if you're going to work 99 00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:30,100 here you have to be vaccinated or you have to quit. 100 00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:37,700 That has in some ways helped. In these companies helped 101 00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:43,900 prevent the deadly virus from taking hold, but the Supreme 102 00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,900 Court said that Biden. Can't do what the majority of 103 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,200 Corporations would already wish. He would do, which is issue the 104 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800 Mandate that you can't work here around other people, if you're 105 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,400 not going to get vaccinated. You know, for the people who I 106 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,300 know, you know, I know you like me, I know you like my movies 107 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,200 and you're very upset at hearing me, say this about about the 108 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,600 virus and about the vaccines. I'm, I'm sorry to tell you that, 109 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,700 I just don't think you're right. And I think you're causing harm 110 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,000 to other people. I watch this great basketball 111 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,400 player, Kyrie Irving at a press conference after the Brooklyn 112 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Nets, basketball game. And he said, look, I you know, 113 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,400 they let their let him play. In places other than Brooklyn, 114 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:37,100 New York City will not allow players to play if they're not 115 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,600 vaccinated, but you can, you can you can play the game in Phoenix 116 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,800 and you can play the game in Chicago and Detroit and 117 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,700 elsewhere. So so they let Kyrie Irving 118 00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,100 play. When they're at away games, the 119 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,600 Brooklyn Nets do. And he said last night, he made 120 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,700 quite an impassioned case as to why he's not vaccinated and why 121 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:08,300 he won't get vaccinated. I heard him and I know that he's 122 00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:09,900 trying to do what he thinks is best. 123 00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:15,100 He has a right to do what he thinks is best until he doesn't 124 00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:17,800 and you don't get to decide whether or not you're going to 125 00:09:17,808 --> 00:09:22,400 be vaccinated because we're getting close to a million dead 126 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,800 Americans, and millions and millions more around this world. 127 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,800 You don't get to say I have a right to go and infect other 128 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,600 people and if you've bought all the bologna, that's on the 129 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,500 internet about this about the vaccine. 130 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,900 This is the safest vaccine we've ever had. 131 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,700 I can understand like the old vaccines, like polio or whatever 132 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,600 they needed in order for those vaccines to work, they, in order 133 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,400 to trick your body into creating an immunity to polio or smallpox 134 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,500 or whatever, they give you a little bit of Of the polio in 135 00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,800 the vaccine, not enough, so that you'll get polio. 136 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,600 You imagine how hard that was convinced? 137 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000 Our parents that they all take us in to get polio shots? 138 00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,100 When the in the shot was going to be a little bit of polio in 139 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,400 the covid shot. There's no covid. 140 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:18,700 It's a whole new and they started working on this that 141 00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:23,400 when Trump said, let's work on this, they started back in 2003 142 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,400 probably before them, but when SARS be was a real epidemic in 143 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,500 certain countries. They started working on. 144 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:34,300 We've got to create a vaccine for the coronavirus, we're going 145 00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,600 to get more of these. And so they've been working on 146 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:43,200 this for 17, 18 years, it's mRNA and there's no covid in the 147 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800 shot. They invented a A way to again, 148 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,500 trick the body into creating an immunity to covid without 149 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,000 putting covid. In our bodies, there's never 150 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,500 been a safer vaccine and now hundreds of millions have gotten 151 00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,200 the vaccine around the world. And you don't see people 152 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,300 dropping like flies and they're still having babies. 153 00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:04,600 And they're all this is everything. 154 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,600 You've been reading about this. You have been lied to by crazy 155 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,400 people. Anyways, I can and I wasn't 156 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,500 going to spend any time on this today. 157 00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:18,800 I really just wanted to say kudos to the Supreme Court for 158 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,900 getting rid of Biden's vaccine mandate which will result in the 159 00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:26,300 deaths of God knows how many hundreds of thousands of other 160 00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,300 Americans. The killer Supreme Court, the 161 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,400 Trump Court 1/3 appointed by Trump. 162 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,400 And they're going to kill women, starting in June. 163 00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:44,800 But they're trying to kill us. Now stopping this, this vaccine 164 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:51,200 mandate that even Corporate America says that we need I like 165 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,900 this just doing a solo podcast. I haven't done one of these in a 166 00:11:54,908 --> 00:12:00,400 while here in Rumble. And I like, I like I'm 167 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800 imagining. I'm really just right there with 168 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,100 you in the car and your living room, just talking to you. 169 00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,700 Is it the, the intimacy of it? I appreciate maybe we all 170 00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,300 appreciate that. A little more during these two 171 00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:19,000 years where we've had to spend a lot of time alone and not seeing 172 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,500 family, and friends. And Whatever. 173 00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:26,600 So, in the sense that there are, she's I don't know, what do we 174 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,100 have? Close to 600 700 thousand on 175 00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:36,900 this list and any given time there's 150,000 listening to 176 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:40,100 this podcast.

So back to the issue of the day 247 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,599 here and that is our voting rights in the United States of 248 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:23,400 America. They started yesterday debating 249 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800 this on the floor of the United States Senate. 250 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:34,000 And it continues today as I'm recording this, there probably 251 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,100 will be some procedural votes today and tomorrow Senator Chuck 252 00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,500 Schumer. The Authority leader in the 253 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:49,300 Senate is trying a number of workarounds so that the 254 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:56,300 filibuster can be removed for this one vote or other ways in 255 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,000 to get around this anti-democratic anti-democracy 256 00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:06,600 thing. We call the filibuster We're a 257 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,600 minority of votes in the Senate get to kill an entire bill. 258 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,200 So that's that's what's going on. 259 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,900 So what's been going on right now and not with much success, 260 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:24,800 of course all the pundits are, you know, pretty much they 261 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:32,300 pronounce this bill or bills dead for many weeks but Schumer 262 00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:34,800 in the Democrats seem to have not given up on it. 263 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:40,000 But when I say that I really want to be completely honest 264 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,700 with what I've been witnessing. Yes, the Democrats with the 265 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:49,800 exception of mansion and Cinema. Manchin of West Virginia and 266 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,400 Cinema of Arizona who are who say they support voting rights 267 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,900 but don't want to do anything to help this bill, get passed, but 268 00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:05,500 it makes it seem like the other 48 Democrats or The Independents 269 00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:11,600 who caucus with the Democrats. Like this is a, this is an 270 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,900 important bill to them that they want to get past. 271 00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:18,100 And I've watched some of their floor speeches and you know, 272 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:22,400 they've been sending out their literature to us via email. 273 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,200 You're on, sadly, one of those lists, where everybody sends you 274 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,700 everything. About how you know, much, they 275 00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:34,900 support voting rights and stopping the racist policies 276 00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:37,700 that have been enacted by the new policies. 277 00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:42,700 At least 19 states, that are going to make it more difficult 278 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:48,400 for poor people old people, and people of color to vote in this 279 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,400 year's election and in elections after this. 280 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,200 But here's the thing if and if you think I'm being too harsh in 281 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,300 just say, Oh, but I just I yes, of course, all of these 282 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:08,800 Democrats support voting rights but where where's the real sense 283 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,300 of urgency? Where is the clamor? 284 00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:17,400 Where is the demonstration? Where are the marches? 285 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,900 Where is the call for the public to take to the Frozen streets of 286 00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:26,900 America right now and all of us. Get out there and do something 287 00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,400 about this. There's none of that going on. 288 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,200 You take a Democratic senator like Dianne Feinstein from 289 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,200 California? I haven't seen her do anything 290 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:48,100 to Rally the millions of Americans who in every poll say 291 00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,300 that they support these voting rights bills. 292 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,400 I don't mean to pick on her, I'm just saying, pick anybody pick 293 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,100 Gary Peters from my State in Michigan, pick any of a number 294 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:02,200 of Democrats. In the Senate. 295 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,400 And where have they been? Where are they today? 296 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:14,000 Where is the call for action? Where is is the the spark for 297 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,200 people to rise up non-violently? So that our voices are heard on 298 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,300 this issue of voting rights. I don't see it. 299 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,400 You see it? I see speeches, I see pundits, I 300 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400 see them going on cable news. All good. 301 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,500 But something like this is never going to pass, unless unless we 302 00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:41,200 have the fever. The desire. 303 00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,800 And that, that is heard all around the country. 304 00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:50,400 That's not happening. Why is it happening? 305 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:54,900 Are Democrats just sort of taking the position they're 306 00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:58,200 supposed to take, you know and they of course have no. 307 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,000 They believed it and all that but they don't. 308 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,400 Nobody seems to really want to risk anything. 309 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,100 To get this passed. Well, when I say nobody, I'm 310 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,800 talking mostly about white people, I guess. 311 00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:21,300 I've seen a lot of people of color, especially black 312 00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:24,700 Americans. Over this last week or two. 313 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,300 Out in the streets. In front of the capitol. 314 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,100 In front of federal buildings. Demanding. 315 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000 That the Voting Rights Act be reinstated. 316 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,400 This all began in 1965 when Congress. 317 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,800 That's the house and the Senate, both voted to pass the Voting 318 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:55,900 Rights Act of 1965 the first time that it was ever legislated 319 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,900 and made into law. The fact that everybody, 320 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,200 everybody had a right to vote and nobody was supposed to come 321 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:12,400 up with any rules or methods. Or Shenanigans to keep them from 322 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:20,400 voting. 1965 and I wrote in my sub stack letter this week, the 323 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:26,700 story of how I was present as a little eleven-year-old kid, my 324 00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:30,000 mom and taking my sisters and I down to Washington, d.c. because 325 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,400 she wanted to show us our government and how it worked. 326 00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:38,400 And so yes, that was summer vacation for us, I know. 327 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:44,900 But little but how cool though. He had a mother and 1965 But 328 00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:49,300 load her 11 year old ten-year-old and eight-year-old 329 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,500 children into the car. Our dad had to had to work, 330 00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:56,500 couldn't get off from the factory. 331 00:23:57,100 --> 00:24:01,300 So she took us down there and didn't really know what was 332 00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:04,300 going to be happening. But, you know, back then just as 333 00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:08,600 you can now, you can go to your, your member of Congress has 334 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:14,300 office or your Senator's office and can get these free passes. 335 00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:17,100 Where you can get seats in the gallery. 336 00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:20,200 The little balcony, that looks down over the house in the 337 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,000 Senate and watch what's going on. 338 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,500 And she did that. And she took us in there and in 339 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,800 one of the galleries I believe it was the Senate. 340 00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:40,300 In this particular week in July, we was July of 1965, the Senate 341 00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:46,000 was debating, a new bill and idea that people have come up 342 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,300 with called Medicare Medicare and Medicaid. 343 00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,800 Where the federal government would. 344 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:58,800 Make sure that the elderly and the poor Would not go bankrupt 345 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,200 and not lose their home. From now on their medical bills 346 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,400 would be paid most of them. By the federal government. 347 00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:13,000 It was an amazing idea. And there are many people that 348 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,900 didn't like it called, it socialism, communism, whatever. 349 00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:20,200 But here we were in the summer of 1965 and I was kids, were, 350 00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:25,700 were there in the Senate watching this debate and this 351 00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:29,400 bill being passed? That gave us Medicare and 352 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Medicaid. It was it was really it was 353 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:40,000 really something and and in that same week or so week or two, we 354 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,600 were there. There was also a debate and 355 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,200 votes being taken on whether or not to pass the Voting Rights 356 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,500 Act of 1965. And we watch that I'm an 11 year 357 00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:55,500 old kid up there. Leaning over the balcony 358 00:25:55,500 --> 00:26:00,300 railing. Watching these Congress people 359 00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:06,000 debate, whether or not everybody had a right to vote and asking 360 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,200 my mom, a lot of questions, like, why, why are we even 361 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,500 talking about this? Well, she explains. 362 00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:18,000 This is a lot, a lot, a lot of bad treatment for a lot of 363 00:26:18,008 --> 00:26:23,000 people when they try to vote. and so my sisters and I were 364 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,200 Witnesses, To the Voting Rights Act of 1965 being passed. 365 00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:35,100 And you can read all about. I wrote, I wrote a letter about 366 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:43,100 this column and just go to Michael more.com and the piece 367 00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,400 is called. I was there. 368 00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:52,800 And I am here, and you can read the story of our trip to 369 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,500 Washington. D.c. so every 10 years or so, 370 00:26:55,500 --> 00:27:01,100 after 1965 Congress had to renew, The Voting Rights Act and 371 00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,600 they did. They did they renewed it four or 372 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,500 five times? And I'm I'm talking about 373 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:11,600 Republicans, renewing it. Some of these votes were near 374 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,400 unanimous. Over the years. 375 00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:19,100 In fact, the actual Voting Rights Act of 1965. 376 00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:27,600 I think the first vote on it in the Senate there were 77 votes 377 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,000 in favor of It. Ultimately 79. 378 00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,700 Only two Republicans voted against the Voting Rights Act. 379 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:40,300 The original one 1965 in the in the United States Senate. 380 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,300 That is how far we've come and how far we've sunk. 381 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,200 So when Barack Obama was elected president, the Republicans 382 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,700 decided on day one that they would support nothing. 383 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:05,200 Of what he wanted to do. And it was very difficult for 384 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Obama to get anything through the senate or the house. 385 00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:13,600 And in 2013, United States Supreme Court, essentially 386 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,500 throughout much of the Voting Rights Act. 387 00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:21,500 That had been in place since 1965. 388 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:29,500 And said it's up to Congress to pass this again or or to fix it 389 00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,100 or whatever and so since then we we really haven't had a Voting 390 00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:38,300 Rights Act and all attempts to pass one have failed because the 391 00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:44,400 Republicans have come together here over these last eight or 392 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:50,700 nine years to stop any kind of Voting Rights bill from being 393 00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:53,500 passed and they are doing it right up until this moment. 394 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,700 Moment that I'm recording this right now. 395 00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:00,300 They're there in the United States Senate and all of them 396 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:07,100 all 50 Republican US, senators. Have decided to stop this to 397 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:11,900 block this bill. Every single one of them. 398 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,000 It's stunning, isn't it? You'd think at least one. you 399 00:29:17,008 --> 00:29:21,400 know, people like to hang on to this belief that there are some 400 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,600 good Republicans certainly you know Mitt Romney will stand up 401 00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:31,800 for black people and people of color poor people, certainly 402 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,500 Susan Collins, we'll certainly the senator from Alaska will And 403 00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:42,400 then, they don't. And they are all planning to 404 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,300 vote against this bill. And even though we have 51 405 00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:53,000 votes, if you believe Cinema and Mansion are for, The Voting 406 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,800 Rights Act. So we have 50 and we have the 407 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,600 one we need because the when it's a tie vote, vice president, 408 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,200 United States is she's also the considered the president of the 409 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,300 Senate. So she gets the vote and it 410 00:30:06,308 --> 00:30:10,600 would be a 5150 vote. But that's not going to happen 411 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,000 because mansion in cinema aren't going to support majority. 412 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:22,700 Rule 51 250 is called, that's majority 51 is the majority and 413 00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:24,000 they're not going to support that. 414 00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,100 They're going to back the Republican position on the 415 00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:32,200 filibuster. And so here we are 50 416 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,200 Republicans and these two Democrats call themselves 417 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,300 Democrats. And it's so infuriating. 418 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,400 I'm I can't believe I've gone in my lifetime as an 419 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,600 eleven-year-old seeing this. Incredible bill pass, only two 420 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,700 Republicans against voting rights. 421 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,400 Some 57 years ago. And then this, I've lived to see 422 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:07,100 this We're not only that the ACT is gone, any attempt to create a 423 00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:11,600 new act calling it, The John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the 424 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,800 other. I mean, and oh man, if you've 425 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,700 read this bill, they've combined them. 426 00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:21,000 Now, is one bill, so many great things in terms of what we did 427 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,500 this in Michigan, in 2018, we passed a constitutional 428 00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,600 amendment that allow for same-day voter registration. 429 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,000 You could show up to vote on election date. 430 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,300 If you weren't registered, you could register right then That 431 00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:37,700 allows for, you know, a few weeks of early voting because 432 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,900 we've, we've doubled the number of people in this country since 433 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:46,100 1965. So the lines are long and 434 00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,200 they're longer in places that have black Americans there to 435 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:56,500 vote the this one. Think Tank did a survey and 436 00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:02,900 found that in Black precincts. The wait in line is 10 times as 437 00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:07,000 long as the wait in line in white precincts. 438 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,900 Ten times, this is crazy. That means, if you're a white 439 00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:16,400 person, let's say you do have to stand in line for an hour, it's 440 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,800 a long line. To vote on voting day. 441 00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,900 Black Americans have to stand in line for 10 hours, that's not 442 00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:30,400 unusual. That, if you're African-American 443 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,700 that, you will stand for five, six, seven, eight, nine hours. 444 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:39,300 And just to just to punish These communities of color. 445 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,900 They've, they've, they've insisted that. 446 00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:47,900 Not only the number of days you get to vote be shortened. 447 00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:51,100 The early voting gets shortened in these new laws in these 448 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:55,400 states. That nobody can bring you water 449 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,600 or food while you're in line, you can't leave the line. 450 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,300 To go get water or food or pick up the kids from school and get 451 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:07,000 them home than just, somebody saved your place in line. 452 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,500 You could back to it know, it's illegal now in these states. 453 00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:19,600 Wow, it's just it goes on and on like this and it's all intended 454 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,200 of course for the Republicans to hold on to what little power. 455 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,900 They have left, because more and more Americans have decided they 456 00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:32,300 don't want Republicans, running the country. 457 00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:39,600 As I've pointed out before there have been eight elections since 458 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,700 the election of George Bush. The first in 1988 eight 459 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:50,300 elections since then that's 34 years ago, Presidential 460 00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:53,500 elections, eight of them, in seven of them. 461 00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,000 The majority of the American people have voted for the 462 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Democrat. even though two times because of are racist Electoral 463 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:10,400 College set up, Two of those times with bush and Gore, the 464 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,800 Republican, who lost the election. 465 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,400 Got to be seated in the white house as president and then 466 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,900 again in 2016 when Hillary won the popular vote and Trump 467 00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:25,600 though when's the Electoral College and he gets to be 468 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,600 president. So take those two popular votes 469 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,900 where the Democrat didn't get to become president. and then add 5 470 00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:41,600 more of these elections since Bush the first, You've got seven 471 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,800 elections where the Democrat has won the presidency of the United 472 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,500 States according to the American people voting. 473 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:55,699 And the Republicans won at once 2004, and they want to just buy 474 00:34:55,699 --> 00:35:01,300 one State, Ohio, and only by 100,000 votes or so, that's it. 475 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,100 Clearly, the American people have spoken when you look at 476 00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:08,600 the, the population of the states that Democratic senators, 477 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,500 represent millions and millions more. 478 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,300 People in the United States have voted for a Democratic senator 479 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,000 than a republican one, same thing for the House of 480 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,700 Representatives. I think it's about a seven 481 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:28,900 million vote difference between those who voted in Democratic 482 00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:32,500 districts versus those who voted in Republican districts. 483 00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:37,000 And yet, here we are, Democrats can't get things passed in 484 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,000 Congress. Biden is stymied every step of 485 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,000 the way and we have an outrageous Supreme Court. 486 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,000 That's republican-dominated. A third of the court appointed 487 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,700 by Donald Trump. It is disgusting. 488 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,900 It is embarrassing. What does the rest of the world 489 00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:01,600 think of us? we call ourselves a democracy 490 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,700 but those who have the majority of the votes, don't get to have 491 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:11,500 a say, We have a majority in the US Senate that say therefore the 492 00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:15,000 Voting Rights bill and yet there won't be one this week. 493 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:21,200 The Democrats, look defeated. I mean I don't know by the time 494 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,900 you're will see this. You may or may not be able to 495 00:36:22,908 --> 00:36:26,300 turn on C-Span and watch some of this but it's and our poor 496 00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:32,900 President, Joe Biden. Is has already admitted defeat. 497 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,600 And he's more hunched over. He's more dejected. 498 00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:46,400 His tone is not one of rallying the troops, but rather 499 00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:55,200 acknowledging the place of defeat that he's in And and the 500 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,400 Republicans are talking like they're going to win the midterm 501 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,300 elections. This coming November, And they 502 00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:07,300 may I don't think they will if if we the people all show up and 503 00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:13,100 if we the people are willing to tolerate the roadblocks that are 504 00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:16,600 going to be in front of us, in order to vote, right up into an 505 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,900 including election day. If we're willing to do that, 506 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,200 we'll pull this off in November. but that's only going to happen 507 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:31,300 if we run the right candidates, If we get out there and get our 508 00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:35,000 neighbors and friends and family and co-workers, and Co students 509 00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:42,300 to get out there and vote. And as I've suggested the states 510 00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:45,200 that will put a ballot measure or two on the ballot, that will 511 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,500 help bring out the base of the democratic party. 512 00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:50,500 If you have a ballot measure, this November sign the 513 00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:55,900 petitions, get on the ballot. There's still time for it to 514 00:37:55,900 --> 00:38:00,300 legalize marijuana to Outlaw gerrymandering to raise the 515 00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:05,800 minimum wage to pass again. The Equal Rights Amendment. 516 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000 I mean, there's a whole bunch of things that we will win, if that 517 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,800 ballot. It measures on the ballot. 518 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000 And then once in their people more than likely will vote for 519 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,700 the Democrat for Senate for congress for local offices. 520 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:29,900 And it's it's in our hands. I mean, if we wait, if we wait 521 00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:32,300 for the official Democratic party. 522 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:38,400 If we wait for Biden to come out of his Funk, this won't happen. 523 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400 We have to do this, we have to do this in our neighborhoods, in 524 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,500 our schools, and our workplaces. We have to organize people, we 525 00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,300 have to make sure they're registered to vote. 526 00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,600 We have to support and do whatever we can do. 527 00:38:55,900 --> 00:39:00,000 To make this happen in November. I mean there's still time if you 528 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,600 want to call your Senator and and tell her or him how you 529 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,400 expect them to be voting or call any Senator? 530 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,000 Let them know there's a live operator right now on duty. 531 00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:18,800 He or she will connect you to your Senator. 532 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,500 If you don't know the name of your Senator just tell him your 533 00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:25,500 state will connect you and they'll either be a live person 534 00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:28,000 in the office or if there's too many calls coming in, you'll get 535 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,000 a tape recording and you'll avoid mail and you'll be able to 536 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,600 leave a message.

This this is a dead party. 570 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,100 This is a party. That hates this country. 571 00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:09,100 That favors all the wrong things. 572 00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:12,900 Republicans weren't always like this. 573 00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:16,400 I mean, I didn't agree with them on anything. 574 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,100 Well, I don't agree with the Democrats on a lot of things, 575 00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:27,200 but these Republicans on such a basic issue in a democracy, the 576 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,600 right to vote, and to make voting easy and to end to make 577 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,500 sure that every voice is heard. What is more important. 578 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,500 I mean you could say well the defense of the country is more 579 00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,200 important. And yes of course we were 580 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,600 attacked. T', you want to be defended. 581 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,600 But if you're if while you're defending the country, if you 582 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,800 ever have to stop and ask exactly what is it, I'm 583 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,800 defending because this is a country that won't even support 584 00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:04,100 the right of everyone to vote and to vote without harassment. 585 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,500 I mean, really, if that's what we've come to, if that's what 586 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:12,400 we've sunk to And if it's the Republicans that have brought us 587 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,900 down and I know some of you listen to this, you know, you 588 00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:19,100 voted for Republicans. You've thought of yourself is a 589 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:21,700 liberal Republican or whatever that is. 590 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:27,100 Those days are gone. This party really has to go. 591 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,500 This is the anti-American party, and for those of you who still 592 00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:35,600 love this country and you say disagree with me, you disagree 593 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,600 with the positions that I take or that I fight for it. 594 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,700 Great, but go and form a new party form. 595 00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:44,900 Something that supports your belief system. 596 00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:51,100 But this party that is still beholden to the defeated former 597 00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:54,100 president. Hopefully the defeated soon to 598 00:43:54,107 --> 00:43:56,500 be in. Aided former president. 599 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,100 If that's all the Republicans have become now where they just 600 00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:06,000 kowtow to him. Why are you part of it? 601 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,600 And if you are a part of it, then that means you believe in 602 00:44:10,607 --> 00:44:12,800 the racist things that they now believe in. 603 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,000 It means you're a climate denier. 604 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,400 It means now don't say to me. Oh no, no Mike. 605 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,300 I believe it that the the environmental issue here. 606 00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:23,900 This is real. I believe in it. 607 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,400 Yeah. Okay sure. 608 00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:29,700 Well y-you still voting and supporting these people. 609 00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:36,100 That are killing the planet. That are making life difficult 610 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,000 for people. We can't get through covid 611 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,400 because of all this nonsense that's going on. 612 00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:46,600 Did you see that report? This week that Oxfam the 613 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,800 charity, they put together that since the pandemic began in 614 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:57,400 March of 2020 almost two years now that in these two years, the 615 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:05,700 10 wealthiest humans on Earth. Their net worth has gone from a 616 00:45:05,700 --> 00:45:10,600 combined seven hundred billions just 10 10 guys, mostly 10. 617 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,800 I think they're all guys, 10, guys. 618 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,800 And at the beginning of the pandemic, they were worth 700 619 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:23,300 billion together and now their wealth is gone up to 1.5 620 00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:27,800 trillion. The pandemic has been very, very 621 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,400 good to them. It's been very, very good to 622 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,900 real estate. and and and what has happened to the rest of the 623 00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:43,700 people, 99% of the people on the planet, their income their 624 00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:52,200 wealth, their worth financial worth, Has gone down. 99% have 625 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,400 seen the drop. This amazing. 626 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,900 That during a global plague, the wealthy the rich got richer. 627 00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:09,200 And everybody else. Is in a struggle. 628 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,200 All kinds of stroll, Financial struggle, struggle with her kids 629 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,100 schools. Everything in the midst of all 630 00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:23,300 this, these Republicans They've done everything to block. 631 00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:27,200 The other parts of Biden's, human infrastructure, Bill, the 632 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:33,100 things that will help parents families kids, Old people, poor 633 00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:35,600 people. All those things in his what he 634 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,800 calls his build back better. Bill, they've essentially 635 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,000 blocked. That that's seems to be Gone 636 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,700 With the Wind at this point. And they're going to try to hold 637 00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:49,600 onto the power because they know the American people no longer 638 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,300 want them, the majority don't vote for them anymore. 639 00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,100 So the only way they could hold on to power is to stop as many 640 00:46:56,100 --> 00:47:01,000 black people. Hispanic people other people of 641 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,600 color. Young people, old people, all of 642 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:12,000 that it's they know their days are numbered these Republicans 643 00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:14,600 and they're not going to, they're not going to go down 644 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,000 without a fight. In the fight is to try to 645 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,800 prevent people who usually vote for Democrats. 646 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000 To make it harder for them to vote. 647 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,800 And that's what we're facing here today and tomorrow. 648 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,700 And this is what is so disgusting and appalling that 649 00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:33,400 they would debase our democracy like this. 650 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,300 My friends, you know, we're just all going to have to be more 651 00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:43,100 active, more busy, we're going to have to raise money to help 652 00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:46,200 people in these poor communities, to be able to vote 653 00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:47,900 come November. We're gonna have to get out the 654 00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:50,900 vote. I know a lot of you are sick and 655 00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:55,000 tired of all this, the fight has gone on too long now, we're just 656 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,400 trying to stay alive, so we don't get this virus. 657 00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:02,600 Trying to raise kids in this era, it's all I know. 658 00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:06,200 I know, I know. But what's the choice? 659 00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:09,900 I can't tell you how many people have said to me, they've turned 660 00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:11,800 off the news and I don't blame them. 661 00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:15,600 They're just trying to get a little bit of peace and Sanity. 662 00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:22,300 But while we're looking for peace, and Sanity, and a break. 663 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,000 The enemy, the people who are, who hate this constitution, who 664 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,900 hate people that are not white, the old way, the Old Guard, 665 00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:39,600 they're very active and they're very busy, and they're spending 666 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,000 a lot of money. And they're going to try to do 667 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,300 everything they can. It's the only way they can win 668 00:48:46,700 --> 00:48:51,200 is to cheat. You just every time they talk 669 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,800 about the this last election being rigged, you're cheating or 670 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,900 whatever, when it was the, it's so many different groups and 671 00:48:57,900 --> 00:48:59,700 judges and everything have determined its. 672 00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:05,400 The, it was the most honest election where all the votes 673 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,300 were counted correctly and when they've done a recount, all they 674 00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:12,500 have found Really are more votes for Biden. 675 00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:21,200 It's they know their time is up. People who do demographics and 676 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,400 studies and all this are predicting our around 2040. 677 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,200 To the majority of this country will no longer be white. 678 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,700 The majority will be people of color. 679 00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:35,600 We're just 20 years away from that, from the year that we're 680 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,500 in right now. And, and the people who are 681 00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:45,200 frightened by that, they are working overtime to hold onto as 682 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,500 much power. And as much money as they can. 683 00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:55,700 And the only way to stop them is for us to stop them, get 684 00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:59,100 involved, get involved form your own neighborhood group. 685 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,900 Do whatever it is.

I don't want you to fall into 716 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,100 despair here. Our history is full of taking 717 00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:26,900 two steps forward and one step back. 718 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:33,800 Sometimes three steps back but in the end, we've come out in 719 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,500 better shape that has to continue. 720 00:52:37,500 --> 00:52:42,900 We're lucky that we have a younger generation that is 721 00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:46,200 active. That is educated, that is 722 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,400 concerned and they will not tolerate. 723 00:52:50,900 --> 00:52:55,400 This kind of behavior anymore. So to the younger people who are 724 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,300 listening teenagers and young adults, thank you for everything 725 00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:01,800 that you have been doing in these recent years. 726 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,800 It's your voice that must be heard. 727 00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:07,500 It's your voice that we must all support. 728 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:18,800 And I'm I have I have a belief. That we will beat back. 729 00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:25,400 This bigotry will beat back ignorance when it comes to our 730 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,500 environment will be back. A lot of these things and we'll 731 00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:33,300 make it better for all of us. And for the generations to come, 732 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:39,100 it will not happen on its own. Everybody has to play a part 733 00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:42,900 even a small part. I will continue to do that. 734 00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:45,900 I thank all of you who listen to this. 735 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,100 Podcast.
