Speaker 1: solo pod day, and I'm thrilled because you all will

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: get a window into the soul of my relationship.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 3: With my good brother and friend.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: I always call him my big little brother because he

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: thinks he's the boss of me, and I let him

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: do it because he's so brilliant.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: I'm such an awesome strategist.

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: A peacemaker guy says, blessed are the peacemakers, and he

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: is one of them. He is the executive director of

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: the Congressional Black Caucus. Vincent Evans is joining us today.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: Hello Vincent, Hello Angela Raie. I'm so glad you joined me.

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: We have been laboring for and with the people.

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: All week.

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like we may have a sound issue. I

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: don't think Vince can hear us. Vince, can you hear me?

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: I can hear you now, I could hear you.

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think we're still live. So we're just

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and keep rowing. This is the hood

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Native Lampard The Hood Edition.

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on all right. I blame

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: mercury being a retrogravance.

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad that you're here with me today,

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: in part because in so many ways, you know, we're

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: always working together. We don't get paid to work together,

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: but we are always going to do work for the culture.

30
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: And one thing that's just been heavy on my spirit is,

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, watching the fallout from Target. One thing that

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: I love about our friendship, our relationship and so many

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: of our comrades is we have an agreement not to

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: do harm.

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: And I think it's so important.

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Even we disagree vehemently on tactics, vehemently on time, vehemently

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: on what the end goal might be, it is so

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: important that we as a community agree not to do harm.

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: And the number of hits that I'm watching our people

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: take who we're just trying to do something, Vince, Like

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: whether we agree on whether the thing should end, what

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: the thing should be called, who's doing it, who's leading why?

43
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Like we just should commend the fact that people wanted

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: to do something. Now, the thing I wanted to flag

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: for you, Vince, is has Target said anything yet perfect.

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 3: But guess what, we all mad at each other?

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: Why?

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Vin, This is the trick of the devil. It's a distraction.

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: So I just I wanted you to be.

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Here as my brother and my friend, to remind us

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: all the most important thing that in times like this,

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: as difficult as it may be, it is most important

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: that we stick together. Then we figure out our path

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: and we remember who the actual boogeyman is. The boogeyman

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: is not just Target, it's everybody that thinks like target.

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: It is the folks who sit in corporate boardrooms who

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: are ending DEI saying we belong what are we belonging to?

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: Friends? What are we belonging to? Two friends? And Vince?

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: That goes all the way to the ballot box.

60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: So today you and I are talking about the Save Act, Yes,

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about that because it's the

62
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: mentality that is it's a mentality that is pervasive throughout

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: all of these corporations, throughout all of the cabinets, the

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: cabinet secretaries, all of these agencies and departments run by

65
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: the federal government, sadly all across states throughout this country.

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: The ones that have been putting forth voter suppression measures,

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: as you know since twenty ten. So Vince, let's back

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: right into this talk to us about what the Save

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Act is.

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. I see it as a law

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: that is all about voter suppression. I don't know what

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: the other folks out there who are pushing it seed.

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: As you know, the first thing I say is whenever

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: a bill's title is save America, that is a red

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: like what are we saving America from? We need to

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: save America from the people who are pushing this law. Look,

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 5: this is nothing more than as we first so many

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 5: leaders say, Jim Crow two point zero, it is a

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 5: bill that is designed to prevent people from casting their ballet.

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 5: You and I know that the franchise, the right to

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 5: vote is the most sacred things we have, and this

82
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: bill is set to ensure that people who get up

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: every day, go to work every day, and want to

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to engage in their democracy, want to

85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to vote for people who they believe

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 5: are pushing forward the issues that are important to them,

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: that they don't have that opportunity. So that is at

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: its core what the Save Act is. I don't care

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: what anybody tells you it's a bad piece of legislation,

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 5: it should not being acted, and it will do more

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 5: harm than good.

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: And I think this is the part right.

93
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: So we know that this bill passed the House last year,

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: and then the Senate received this bill from the House,

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: of course, which is how this normally goes. It passed

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: very narrow, with two hundred and twenty votes to two

97
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: hundred and eight votes. And I wonder what you think

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: is going to happen in the Senate. I think it's

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: important people to understand it is on the Senate floor

100
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: this week, starting today. This is the Safeguard American Voter

101
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: Eligibility Act.

102
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: So, Vince, what do you think is going to happen

103
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: in the Senate?

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see.

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 5: The Senate I think started debating this within the last

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: couple of hours or a set to. We'll see about

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 5: the debate this week. What we do know is this,

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: the Save America Act, as the so called Save America Act,

109
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 5: is going to make it harder and more difficult for

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 5: people to be able to cast their valid If you're

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: a woman who's ever changed your name, which a lot

112
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 5: of women who have been married have done, it's going

113
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: to make it almost impossible. If you're an individual who

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 5: does not have access to a passport, and you've got

115
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: to now either go buy a passport, or you've got

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: to go get your driver's license per plus or birth certificate.

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: That's not always easy for folks. There are a lot

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 5: of hurdles. If you're a college student who's ever moved

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: away from home to go to college and has a

120
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 5: new address, it's going to make it more difficult, difficult

121
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: for you. So there are a whole class of groups

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 5: of individuals out there across the country who would be impacted.

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: And you know, the Republicans are saying that this is

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 5: going to ensure that there are no non citizens voting

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: in American election. Here's the facts. We all know the facts.

126
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 5: You know the facts, Angela, I know the fact. Everybody

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: knows the facts. There is not widespread fraud in our

128
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: elections today.

129
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: There just isn't.

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 5: Every single audit and study out there has come back

131
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: and said the same thing. The amount of non citizens

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: voting in American elections is like er point zero zero

133
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 5: zero one percent. It's small, it's negligible. And the fact

134
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 5: of the matter is this, it is already illegal in

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 5: this country for non citizen to vote. So this is

136
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: nothing more of the say back is nothing more than

137
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 5: a stoke called set of solutions in search of a problem.

138
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: That's it.

139
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: And they've been saying that same phrase since the first

140
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: version of voter ID bills, since the first version of

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: voter ID bills, more than one hundred past House I'm sorry,

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: state based legislatures starting in twenty ten and twenty eleven.

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: And what I think is so important for our audience

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: to know, Vince, is that all of this changed after

145
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight.

146
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: What happened in two.

147
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: Thousand and eight, What happened? What happened? What happened? You

148
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: know what happened. I know what happened. I know about president.

149
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: And they said, you know, this whole idea about bipartisan

150
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: voting rights, Hell with that.

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Actually, we don't want to see this happen anymore.

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: And so what used to be the Voting Rights Reauthorization

153
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: Act every Congress that would pass overwhelmingly with both sides

154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: of the House supporting, All of a sudden, it became

155
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: a democratic idea all of a sudden, voting fraud.

156
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: Voter fraud was an issue, all of a sudden.

157
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: People need needed to be ID in the voting booth,

158
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: and these voter ID measures have become even more restrictive

159
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: because what they're saying now is that your license is

160
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: not sufficient. Let's roll this clip from Representative Teresa Fernandez,

161
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: who represents New Mexico's third congressional district.

162
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 6: Can you take out your driver's license? Mister Scott has

163
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 6: his out. If you took your years out, I'm looking

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 6: at mine. What we're talking about here is does your

165
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 6: driver's license tell us where you were born? It does not?

166
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: Does it?

167
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 6: No, mister Scott, youwards doesn't either. Because what we're talking

168
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: about is registration. You cannot use this ID to register

169
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 6: to vote under your bill?

170
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: Is that correct? You could not use your ID?

171
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 6: That would be an accurate sayment, Chairman Styles, Do you

172
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 6: have a passport?

173
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: I personally, do you do have a pass pas? Part

174
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: of the rough Americans?

175
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 6: You're roughly fifty percent of Americans have a passport. Because

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 6: you try, about fifty percent of Americans don't travel internationally.

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: They don't have that money. Is that right?

178
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 6: One of the reasons you have to have a certain

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 6: amount of money to be able to travel internationally. To

180
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 6: get that passport, to pay for that passport.

181
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

182
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: There is a charge there.

183
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 6: There is a test passport. Twenty point twenty one point

184
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 6: three million American citizens a vote in age don't have

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: ready access to citizenship documents. This is ready access. We

186
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 6: already discussed earlier the fact that this bill. You have

187
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 6: changed the enactment day of this bill to go infect

188
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 6: as soon as it is signed into law. And if

189
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 6: that happens, then this twenty one point three million American

190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 6: citizens who might not be prepared for a future in

191
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 6: a few weeks. In terms of Texas, who might want

192
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 6: to They're excited about the race, they're excited about the

193
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: Republicans senators who are wanting to at each other. I'm

194
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 6: battling it out. They're excited about the Democrat primaries. They

195
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 6: want to get involved, they want to register to vote.

196
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 6: They might be on one of the twenty one point

197
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 6: three million Americans who don't have ready access to citizenship documents.

198
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 6: That's what we are concerned about, is that by rushing

199
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 6: this into law, you were going to prevent so many

200
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 6: people from being able to register to vote.

201
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: And that's been acceptable.

202
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 6: When you say how many immigrants are too many voting?

203
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: I would ask.

204
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 6: I'd flip the question and ask you how many eligible

205
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: citizens are you worried about being turned away because you

206
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 6: were rushing something like this into law.

207
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 4: You care.

208
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: So good now viz.

209
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Twenty one point three million Americans, and I think that's

210
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: probably really conservative.

211
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: I want to give you this one example.

212
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: So my mom was renewing her passport and something came

213
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: up where she like however her birth certificate was initially written,

214
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to work. And the reason why it

215
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: wasn't going to work for her to get her passport

216
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: again is because her they had inverted her middle name

217
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: and her so her middle name was first, her her

218
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: first name was her middle name. That for whatever reason,

219
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: it was fine the first time she was getting her passport.

220
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: The second reason the second time it wasn't. So we're

221
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: not considering the people who may be going back to,

222
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, get a passport again their passports York expiration.

223
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Normally they tell you six months out it's time to

224
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: get a new passport, and Vince, we're also not thinking

225
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: about the people who are terrified to go to this

226
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Department of State under this authoritarian regime, worried that if

227
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: they bring a passport to get renewed, that they may

228
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: not get the thing back and be stuck here or

229
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: be told they're not a citizen if they don't have

230
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: the proper documentation. The other thing that I think is

231
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: as jarring is I don't think folks realize for our

232
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: elders in the South who are eighty and older.

233
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: In certain parts of the South and real parts of

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: the South.

235
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: The birth certificates don't even match the standards for what

236
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: you need to be able to get your passport. Vince,

237
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: I have a copy now of my Social Security card.

238
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where the real one is. My mama

239
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: didn't trust me with it. So how long does it

240
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: take to get a Social Security card under this regime?

241
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, Do you know what I mean? Yep.

242
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: There are a number of hurdles that they could throw

243
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: up at any point. I used to work for someone

244
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: who because of the year they were born and where

245
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 5: they were born in the rural part of my state

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: in Florida, it was unclear whether the birth certificate they

247
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 5: had because it was written down in a bible. That's

248
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 5: how they actually found out when they were born. It

249
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 5: was unclear when they went to get documents. They always

250
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 5: had troubble making certain that it couldn't get verified, and

251
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: they had to go to this lineage process. It was

252
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: rife with complications. There are so many to the point

253
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 5: that you just made, particularly in the South, but frankly

254
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: across the country who have similar stories, who have similar

255
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 5: stories like that of your mom, who even if they

256
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 5: are all well intended, they do everything, they are waiting

257
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 5: at the mercy of the government to give them the

258
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 5: things that they would need. So if the Department of

259
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 5: State or or agencies across the government said, well, you know,

260
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 5: we're gonna get it to you, but we're not gonna

261
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 5: get it in time for you to vote, that obviously

262
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: presents a problem. And again, like the congresswoman said, they're

263
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 5: trying to do this before the November elections.

264
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: Why why would you need to rush it so fast?

265
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: And that's the thing too.

266
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: My biggest concern is because Donald Trump would like to

267
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: sign an executive order where he federalizes these midterm elections,

268
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: to federalizes elections period. He would then have all the

269
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: power if the Supreme Court doesn't do the right thing.

270
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: And it's a fifty to fifty, maybe a sixty forty

271
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: if they'll do the right thing or not. If they

272
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: don't take action, then that means all of that power

273
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: and control all of his.

274
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: Cabinet and go to all of the departments. That is scary.

275
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 5: He has made clear in recent days that this is

276
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: his number one priority. The President of the United States

277
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 5: of America has said he will not sign anymore legislation

278
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: until he gets the Safe Act to his debt. And

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: as you know, Angela, this is bigger than just one bill.

280
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 5: This is about to your earlier point, who was elected

281
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: in two thousand and eight, what we've seen since then

282
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: shall be the older gutting Section five of the Voting

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 5: Rights ACK. Now Section two of the Voting Rights ACK

284
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 5: is being considered before the United States Supreme Court. We'll

285
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 5: get a ruling, hopefully here in June. I'm worried about

286
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 5: what that ruling will say. And all of this is

287
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: an attempt to roll back progress that we've made. It's

288
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: all calculated, it's all been thought out, no question about it.

289
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: This is just another step and what they've told us

290
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: they were going to do.

291
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: There's a video that I want you to see from

292
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa, and she says something that many of us

293
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: say often, but I think it's important for us to

294
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: remember it in this particular moment.

295
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: Let's roll that clip.

296
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: Well, if the vote wasn't worth something, they wouldn't be

297
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 7: trying to keep you from voting. So I feel the

298
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 7: same way about womanhood. If we weren't so powerful, there

299
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 7: wouldn't be.

300
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 8: Such a push to keep us in a place.

301
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: I think that's important too right now, Vince, because one

302
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: of the key groups, key constituencies that will be impacted

303
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: by the Save Act, by Make Elections Great Again.

304
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: Act are women. And what's crazy about it is, what's.

305
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: The percentage of women that voted for Donald Trump?

306
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: White women?

307
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you hadn't see this coming.

308
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna hurt their own voters.

309
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: This isn't a bill that's going to affect Democratic women

310
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: or black women. It's going to hurt their voters. I

311
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: think I heard members say earlier today that the top

312
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 5: ten states of individuals who do not have passport are

313
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 5: what we call quote unquote red states. So this will

314
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 5: hurt their own voters, no question about it.

315
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: It blows me away.

316
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: I got to say that one of the things that

317
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for is that people will find the energy

318
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: to reach out to the senator, their senators. I know

319
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: it's really hard, and I'm saying this as someone who

320
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: worked on the hill who has struggled to see the

321
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: impacts of the calls we're making, have making a difference,

322
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: because the Republican senators are so terrified of Donald Trump

323
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: that they're not seeming to do the right thing. So

324
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: what is the thing that you would recommend, you know,

325
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Joe blow from down the street, or remember Joe the

326
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: plumber would what would you tell Joe the plumber to do?

327
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: What about let me think of John Tay, John Tata plumber.

328
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: What would you tell him to do if he was

329
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: making that call to his senator?

330
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 6: Ben.

331
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 5: Look, I think all of us have to pick up

332
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: the phone on this one to call lawmakers and tell

333
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: our very own lived experience. But we saw what two

334
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 5: or three two days ago, and Dallas is unacceptable. I

335
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 5: was so struck by the people who were going into

336
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 5: the polls, trying to cast a ballot, trying to do

337
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 5: the right thing, walking out and being told that they

338
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 5: could not. That is not an anomaly in this country,

339
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: to be clear, even without the say back, we already

340
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: have voter suppression in this country. Hundreds of bills have

341
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 5: been passed over the last couple of years in state

342
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 5: legislatures across this country, as you rightly point out, that

343
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: are already making it more difficult for people to vote.

344
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 5: So folks just have to call and tell their own

345
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 5: real experience. This is one of those times where we

346
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 5: probably all have our own experience at the voting boot

347
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 5: where we show rowed up something wasn't right. We were

348
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 5: told one thing, it was really another thing. So folks

349
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 5: really should that. There are a lot of times we

350
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 5: tell people to call their legislation. This is one where

351
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 5: you've got a personal story, you can pull it up

352
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 5: really quickly and tell people how it would directly affect you.

353
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: It's so important, and Vince, I'm so grateful for you

354
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: taking the time today to come and explain this. I

355
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: do worry that this bill may pass the Senate, and

356
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, based on what we saw.

357
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: With the big hella ugly bill, that people.

358
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Just lack courage in this moment, and so I want

359
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: us to also not just call, but for those of

360
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: us who pray and our spiritual people like believe that

361
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: something bigger and greater can happen. Especially, my heart goes

362
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: out to these tsos, the TSA workers who are at

363
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: work right now.

364
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: When I was.

365
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: Traveling just this past week, Vince, I told I, try

366
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: to make it a point to tell them. Sadly, I've

367
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: had to do it a lot lately because it's been

368
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: shut down after shut down after thak So. I told him,

369
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: I said, I just want to thank you all for working.

370
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: I know you don't have to. And one of them,

371
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: the gentleman, looked at me and he said, I'm not

372
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: going to be here much longer. I just can't afford

373
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: to work and not be paid. I have to go

374
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: make money to pay my bills. So when you see one,

375
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: you know, give him a love offering, and give him

376
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: a love offering.

377
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: Don't just say thank you.

378
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: Maybe you got an extra hundred dollars in your passion,

379
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: an extra twenty like we need to be loving on

380
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: these folks.

381
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: Should it be our responsibility?

382
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 4: No?

383
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: But is it? Absolutely?

384
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: Because we have an irresponsible president in the White House,

385
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: and I just you know, he's a He regularly is

386
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: engaging in a dere election of duty, and sadly, his

387
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: cabinet is a bunch of yes folks. Who will not

388
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: challenge him back. So here we are in a war

389
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: that is not ours. Here we are defunding people who

390
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: need that paycheck, who are hourly workers. Here we are

391
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: ready to snatch people's voting rights away in the two

392
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country, returning back to

393
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: what it knows best. Jim Crow, disenfranchisement and oppression. I

394
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if we ever left that, So mint

395
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: any party words before we've closed.

396
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: I appreciate you everything you just said. It's so true,

397
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: and I know it comes from a place of love.

398
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 5: We've got a lot of work to do. You know,

399
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 5: when people say to me America is better than this

400
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 5: these days, I say, I'm not certain that she is.

401
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 5: I'm not certain that we are better than We can

402
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 5: be better than this, but right now we are not

403
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 5: better than this. So people of good will got to

404
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 5: keep fighting. I'm keeping the faith like you are, and

405
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: we just keep pushing every day. It is a fight

406
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 5: every single day.

407
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: As Reverend Jackson would say, Vincent, keep hope.

408
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: Alive, Keep hope alive.

409
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: We got to say, well, I appreciate you, thank you. Mention.

410
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: We are going to close out our show with a

411
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: woman who is brilliant. It is Women's History Month, and

412
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: for that I will be celebrating black women every day.

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: All day.

414
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: And there is a woman who is a mentor to

415
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: one of my mentors, Congressman Benny Gordon Thompson. She is

416
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: the legendary and fearless Fanny lou Hamer. She reminded us

417
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: of the importance of the black vote representation, ensuring that

418
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: our voices were heard even in the face of difficulty

419
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: and against all odds.

420
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: She will close out our show today.

421
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 9: Welcome home, y'all, mister Chalmer, and to the Credentials Committee.

422
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 9: It was the thirty first of all us in nineteen

423
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 9: sixty two that eighteen of us travel twenty six miles

424
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 9: to the county courthouse in Innonola to try to registers

425
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 9: to become first class citizens. We was met in Indanola

426
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 9: by policeman.

427
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 8: The President Ndon Johnson. He's not afraid of Martin Luther

428
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 8: King's testimony. He's afraid of fame this testimony, and so

429
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 8: he decides that the country should not see her testify alive.

430
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 10: Johnson is in the White House and he convened an

431
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 10: impromptu press conference to will return to this scene in

432
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 10: Atlantic City.

433
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 6: But now we switched for the White House, and NBC's

434
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 6: Robert Carewski.

435
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: Nows and gentlemen, the President of the United States on

436
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: this day nine months ago.

437
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 10: He did it knowing that they would break away, thinking

438
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 10: he might announce who his choice of vice president was

439
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 10: going to be. Instead, he gets up there and he announces.

440
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 10: Get this, he announces that it's nine months to the

441
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 10: day since since Governor Connolly, who was there, was shot

442
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 10: along with President Kenny. So he announced a nine month anniversary,

443
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 10: and everybody's scratching their heads, thank you very much, and

444
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 10: then he leaves. By that time, Vanny lou Hamer's testimony

445
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 10: was over. However, it backfired on Johnson because it became

446
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 10: a story that she had been taken off television and

447
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 10: in the news that night and for days afterwards, they

448
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 10: replayed her testimony.

449
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: I was carried to the county jail and put in

450
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: the booking room. They left some of the people in

451
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: the booking room and began to place us in sail.

452
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 8: She had Mississippi in her bones. One of the king

453
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 8: or the Snickfield secretaries. They couldn't do what Thanheima did.

454
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 8: It couldn't be a sharecropper and express what it meant right,

455
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 8: and that's Whatheima did.

456
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: And it wasn't too long for both three wife men

457
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: came to myself. One of these men was stayed highway

458
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: for throat.

459
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 9: He said, we got to make you wish.

460
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: You were dead.

461
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 11: I was carried out of that cell into another cell

462
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 11: where they had two Negro prisoners. The state Highway patrolman

463
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 11: ordered the first negro to take the black jack. The

464
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 11: first Negro prisoner ordered me by orders from the State

465
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 11: Highway patrolling for me to lay down on a bunk

466
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 11: bed on my face, and I laid on my face.

467
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 11: The first Negro began to beat, and I was beat

468
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 11: by the first Negro until he was exhausted. I was

469
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 11: holding my hands behind that at that time on the

470
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 11: left side because I suffered from polio when I was

471
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 11: six years old. After the first negro had beat until

472
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,359
