1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: And now for a moment of.

2
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:09,519
Speaker 2: Clarity, there's a question of citizenship on the table. How

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:12,560
are we proving citizenship? Well, the real question on the

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,519
table is if even a question, let me connect dots. Yes,

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,359
we only want certain white people to vote.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean you can, you can come out, I want

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:31,440
to say, I'm sitting here at this tableelevision show. I

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,520
just wanted. I just wanted this conversation to marinate the

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,679
way it has, because I want America to appreciate exactly

10
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,079
where we are at this moment, and and it is

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,079
so profoundly un American what we see playing out. I

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,920
cannot believe I have greater faith in the American people,

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,560
uh than Donald Trump clearly does, certainly than any Republican

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560
in the United States Congress right now. If they behind

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,280
this crap. It's bad enough that they've kept their mouth

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,879
shut on the birth on the birthright citizenship case that

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
the Supreme Court is can be arguing tomorrow. But they

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,359
know damn well how they elect Republicans elect, how they

19
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,079
have Democrats who support them vote for them, how they

20
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:22,760
have independent voters vote for them, And they don't give

21
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:25,040
a damn about the color of their skin. Where they're

22
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,000
from They just want to make sure they get to

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280
the ballot box and vote. And ma'am, here's your ballot,

24
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,319
mail it in. And so for this crap right now, now,

25
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,439
listen to this man sit his behind in that Oval

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,840
office and pontificate the crap out of his mouth about

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,640
our system America. You got to get fed up at

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120
some point. So I was just letting this marinate for

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,959
a moment. So y'all really understand what's that risk here?

30
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,079
Because if you think somehow the order the Department of

31
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:00,959
Homeland Security working with the Social Security Administration creating the

32
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:04,599
list of verified US citizens, what if you're dumb ass

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,319
ain't on the list. What if you aren't on the list,

34
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,520
what you're gonna do? And also what if you are

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,960
and what if you want.

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Allow your information? Right?

37
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: So this is the piece for me. When when you

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,080
allow this government to do what it is doing, at

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
what point do you say, Donald Trump, we got this.

40
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:29,560
I don't am I missing something? No? But I mean

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,400
you're not missing anything.

42
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,039
Speaker 2: I mean, look again, he's trying to build it out

43
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,639
for himself. He's look like you say, when you're organizing,

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919
I spent almost my whole life organized, right, You're in

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,840
the field. You're talking to voters, and what you're trying

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,560
to do is just get them to vote. You're trying

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,159
to get them to make a plan, make a plan

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,319
to vote, you know, and get do everything that you

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,479
can to get out and vote. He's just putting up barriers.

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,439
He wants to selectively choose who gets to vote in

51
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:57,120
this country and when, and probably from his perspective, he

52
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:58,919
wants them to look a lot more like him than

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,879
he does anything else.

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,360
