Speaker 1: the Voice of Boston WRKO.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: Joining us now as she always does at this time,

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: Doctor Grace putting liberals in their place. Grace Vuoto full disclosure.

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I married up. I mean really, I gotta tell you,

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: I really married up. Grace. So much to talk about.

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Let me ask you right out of the gate, what

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: do you make of the Save Act? Should the Republicans

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: pass it? And why are the Democrats now they're going

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: to fight this to the end. Schumer says he's gonna

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: shut the whole damn government down for the whole year

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: if need be. This is going to be the mother

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: of all filibusters. Why what are the Democrats so afraid of?

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: Jeff, honestly, amazing coverage of this topic today. You are

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: on fire and I couldn't agree with you more more

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: on so much of your analysis. So first and foremost,

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: what is the point of the Republicans having majorities if

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: we're not using these majorities to enact permanent change? The

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: House voted for this almost three hundred days ago. What

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: has taken the Senate so long? This should have been

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: done last year? And of course, he should be putting

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: it to the floor vote, and let's take it to

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: the people. Let Humor do whatever he wants to do.

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: Let's fight it out. The majority of Americans, as you

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: have said, clearly, support this legislation and think about it.

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: It's good for everybody. It's good for both parties, whoever wins.

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: We want to have confidence in the results, and I

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: think that's going to go a long way towards promoting

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: more unity in this country. We shouldn't be fighting about

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: who actually won an election. We should be moving forward

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: to discuss the content of that election. So this is

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: elementary stuff. And as a republic, we're failing miserably if

33
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: we don't have confidence in elections. So the Save Act

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: is a step in the right direction, and it would

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: definitely help to also have the results sooner. That's one

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: of the big things that needs to be reformed, as

37
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: well as the voter ID provision.

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more. I could not agree

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: with you more, Grace. I've got to ask you, what

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: do you make of the argument Schumer and the Dems

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: and the Rhinos. Now like John Thune, the Senate Majority leader,

42
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: that this is Jim Crow two point zero. That's what

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: Schumer and the Dems are saying. This is going to

44
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: impose Jim Crow style laws, voting laws across the entire country.

45
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: Blocks will be disenfranchised, minorities will be disenfranchised. And also, well,

46
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: now you're gonna have to have two voting roles, a

47
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 2: federal voting role and a state voting role. So you're

48
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: expanding a federal bureaucracy. And we Republicans, you know, we're

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: all we're so against the federal bureaucracy and big government.

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: What do you say to those arguments, Jeff.

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Listen, it's really insulting. It's really insulting to everybody.

52
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: You have.

53
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: The studies have shown it's eighty six to ninety four

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: percent of African Americans currently have photo IDs already. So

55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: the vast majority of African Americans are ready to roll.

56
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: And those that don't, well, let me remind you the

57
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: Democrats have a vast apparatus to turn out the vote,

58
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: to harvest ballots to you know, they go everywhere to

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: get ballots. You know what, shake your re rand if

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: you're concerned about it, go out there before an election

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: and get whatever remaining percentage of voters that you don't

62
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: think have the ideas. Get them to get their ideas.

63
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: It's actually very very beneficial for them on many fronts,

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: not just to vote. So if you really care about them,

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: help them get it done. That's another counter argument. Whatever

66
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: percentage that you're worried about that currently doesn't have the

67
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: proper paperwork, why don't you invest the money and help

68
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: them to get.

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: Federal bureaucracy that it's too much, it's federal overreach that

70
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: every state now because some states don't you know, they

71
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: don't allow voter ID so they're going to have to

72
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: have a state voter role and a federal voter role.

73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: What do you say to that, Jeff, You know, these

74
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: people are always ready to roll out of a government program.

75
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: I mean that's their modus operendi. They're always ready to

76
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: support any government program. And now when we ask them,

77
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: you know, help make sure that the elections are governed effectively,

78
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: now they're afraid of government programs. This is clearly a lie.

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: And what we have to tell African Americans is listen,

80
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party consistently doesn't actually care about you. Whenever

81
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: they're in power, they put on their minor alorait these

82
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: interests ahead of yours. Hispanic interests precede yours, the interests

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: of Muslims preceded yours during the Obama presidency. The more

84
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: African Americans get photo IDs and are ready to roll

85
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: and go vote, the more they have a chance of

86
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: actually being respected as voters, not just in the moment

87
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: that they come out to support the Democrats, but in

88
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: the long term. So empower them. If you're concerned that

89
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: they don't have enough power. Empower them. I mean, think

90
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: about how many government programs they have previously rolled out.

91
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: So do another one if necessary, ten more if necessary.

92
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: It's we on the right that's say, reduce government programs.

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: Not that.

94
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm just curious. I don't know if you heard my

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: exchange with Bill and Sudbury, but and I'm just asking

96
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: this from an honest point of view from you, how

97
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: do you explain the mind of a Democrat activist who

98
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: looks at the Democratic Party and they're never wrong, no

99
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 2: matter how outrageous, how outlandish, how offensive, how insulting, how

100
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: disconnected from reality. It's always the Democrats are right, no

101
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: matter what they say. And it's not just to be

102
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: fair Bill and Sudbury, it's so many moonbats and liberals

103
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: across the entire country is ultimately is Michael Savage? Was

104
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: he right when he said liberalism is a mental disorder,

105
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: that we're dealing with people who are mentally and spiritually

106
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: warped and they're just unable to grasp objective reality.

107
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: Ernest, I think you get this group of people that

108
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: are immune to logic across the political spectrum. I thought

109
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: Aramtara once said it brilliantly in a book I read.

110
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: He said, the world is ultimately divided between rational and

111
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: irrational people. And in any give in circumstance, you've got

112
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: to make a decision who are you talking to? Because

113
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: sometimes I'm talking to people on the right and I'm thinking, Okay,

114
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: this person is irrational on a couple of topics right now.

115
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Right Let's say I'm saying, hey, this is a globalist policy,

116
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: and they're saying, no, no, this is America. I'm thinking,

117
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, okay, I'm dealing with an irrational person

118
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: that now this conversation is not going to progress because

119
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: there's a certain fanaticism that is set into their minds.

120
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 3: So this is a mental ailment that affects a wide

121
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: variety of people. It's particularly acute, yes, as you say,

122
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: it's particularly acute on the left. But irrational behavior, you know,

123
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: I come across it in many different areas, and so

124
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: you know, I just ignore them because I think that

125
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: the vast majority of Americans are rational, and that's why

126
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: on this issue, there is a consensus. There's a national

127
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: consensus on this, and so that's what we have to

128
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: keep saying and keep appealing to the rational people.

129
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: Grace, we have literally thirty seconds over eighty three percent

130
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: of Americans support to save Act Whites, Latinos, blacks, all races.

131
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Will it pass or will the Rhinos in alliance with

132
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: the Democrats blow it up super quick?

133
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: I'm really worried that they're going to blow it up.

134
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: I do not have any confidence in tune. And the

135
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: fact that it's taken them this long tells you everything.

136
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: You know, When do the Democrats wait this long when

137
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: something passes the House? Boom? If they're in office, boom,

138
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: it goes right to the Senate and it gets passed.

139
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 3: Why do we not get these results after we vote

140
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: for certain provisions, We never get the same.

141
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: Treatment, doctor Grace. Putting liberals in their place, Grace, Voto

142
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: as always dynamite stuff. We will talk to you next Wednesday,

143
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: nine o'clock right here on WRKO. Have a wonderful day, Grace.

144
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it.

145
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: Jeff doesn't get a day off. This request came from
