1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty, I know he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 3: One are the top BLS staffers is actually working in 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 3: the White House to help us understand the jobs numbers. 6 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: When I saw the jobs revisions, I literally called up 7 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 3: that person and said, I think there's a typo because 8 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 3: I've been following these numbers all the way back when 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 3: I worked with Alan Greenspan for something like forty years 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: that I've never seen revisions like this. 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 4: Okay, So that's Kevin Hassett whatever he is in the 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 4: Trump administration talking about the economy. This was for your 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: Trump hating news shows, the number one story all weekend long. 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 4: That so, the jobs numbers came out on Friday, we 15 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 4: talked about them. Trump fired the person in charge of 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 4: those numbers coming out, though, as I learned over the weekend, 17 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 4: they have very little to do with computing the numbers. 18 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 4: There's a giant staff of people that do that and 19 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 4: plugged him to formulas. And then this woman found out 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 4: about him like two days before they came out, and 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 4: then she just signs off on them. 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: But there's really no discretion there no. So so as usual, 23 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: Trump does what Trump does. 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: So he came out and claimed that she is a 25 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 4: hack and political and fudged the numbers to try to 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 4: make him look bad, and that she's been doing that 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: quote today's job numbers were rigged in order to make 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: the Republicans and me look bad. And he said that 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 4: sort of thing in various forms all weekend long. And 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 4: then so there were all kinds of headlines in the 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 4: New York Times, Washington Post, those sorts of places, NBC 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 4: News and that sort of thing. There's Larry Summer, Summer's 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 4: up on the TV on ABC this week. I watched 34 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 4: him yesterday and Larry Summers actually said this is the 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 4: sort of thing Richard Nixon didn't even dream of doing, 36 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: which I was a little over the top on his end. 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: New York Times headline was Trump fired America's economic data collector. 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: History shows the perils and they go immediately into this 39 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: is what Hitler did. 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: This sort of thing Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yeah, he 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: went in there and cleaned house. As you know, Hitler, will. 42 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 4: I wish Trump wasn't claiming that this woman was you know, 43 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 4: fudging the stats just to hurt. 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: Him in Republicans and everything like that. 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 4: But the real story, at least as explained by this 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 4: Kevin Hassett person, I thought was kind of interesting, and 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: the only place I heard it was on Meet the 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 4: Press when Christian Walker asked him the question. 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 2: So here is a somewhat. 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: Lengthy but I think it might be helpful if you 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 4: end up with in an argument with a friend about 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: this explanation for what's going on here? What evidence does 53 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 4: the administration have that she manipulated the jobs numbers? 54 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: Right? 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: Well, what we've seen over the last few years is 56 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: massive revision to the jobs numbers. 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: In fact, they were. 58 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: Extremely reliable, the kind of numbers that you want to 59 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: guide policy decisions and markets through COVID. And then when 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: COVID happened, because response rates went down a lot, then 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: revision rates skyrocketed, so that the typical monthly revision often 62 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: was bigger than the number itself. And now we had 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: a number that. 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: Just came out. 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: The actual number for the month wasn't so bad, but 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: the two months before were revised down by more than 67 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: it ever happened since nineteen sixty eight, and in twenty fifteen, 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: Alan Greenspan and I were asked to attend a conference 69 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: at BLS where we were asked to give advice about 70 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: how to modernize the data. And we warned that if 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: they didn't try to let the data collection and calculation 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 3: keep up with the data that was happening in the economy, 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: that we would have problems like this. 74 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: For instance, a revised downward July from one hundred and 75 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: forty four thousand jobs to nineteen thousand jobs. The biggest revision, 76 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: as he pointed out, there since nineteen sixty eight COVID, 77 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: and since COVID businesses reporting their job numbers has changed, 78 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 4: they've stopped participating. So the numbers are all over the 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: place and not a whack. And he's just making the 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 4: argument that that the old formula and win of doing 81 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 4: things doesn't work. And he and Alan Greenspan went to 82 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: a conference as you just heard, and talked about it 83 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: and blah blah blah, And as he said in that 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 4: other clip, we're working with somebody right now from the 85 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: Bureau of Labor Statistics to try. 86 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: To figure out what the numbers actually are. 87 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 4: Because I got these on Friday and called them up 88 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: and said, is this a typo. This can't be right, 89 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: and so it's all out of whack. That explanation makes 90 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: way more sense than the way Trump portrayed it. And 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: then if you you know, I don't know if you 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: need to fire her, but if you said, we're gonna 93 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 4: we're gonna get a fresh set of eyes on this. 94 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 4: We need to they need to redo the whole system. 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: So I've got somebody in there that's going to take 96 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 4: a look at it. I think that would have landed 97 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: a lot better than claiming it's a rigged system to 98 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 4: try to hurt Republicans. 99 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: Right right, I would agree this is the twenty percent 100 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: of Trump's that even most big Trump fans wish he 101 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: would rein in a little bit. Yeah, because Hassett makes 102 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: an excellent point, and this does not smack as trying 103 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: desperately to make sense of what Trump said to me 104 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: like some other things do. If that makes sense, that okay, 105 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: So these revisions are now I mean, like an enormous 106 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: percentage of the total number. 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: The original total number is is. 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: Useless, correct if it goes from one to nineteen, why 109 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 4: make any economic. 110 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: Decisions or markets react to be regional number? What are 111 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: we even doing? 112 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: Here right exactly, and so yeah, you know the fact 113 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: that the system was exposed as antiquated and no longer adequate, 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: Trump reacted in a childish knee jerk fashion. Not all 115 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: that shocking, but yeah, this this rings true to me. 116 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: The revision should not be nearly so enormous, or the 117 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: system is just completely broken. 118 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: We need a new one again. 119 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: Whether miss Mackinharfer or whatever his name, her name is 120 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: needed to be Macintarfer, whether she actually has got kind 121 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: of a velma of the Scooby Do gang look to 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: her anyway. 123 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: Find alluring or I'll just say intriguing anyway row. 124 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Oh so anyway, but yeah, whether she would have been 125 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: a good person to be in charge of the turnaround 126 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: or not, I don't know. It's entirely it is possible 127 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: to do the right thing in the wrong way. 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 4: Or it's possible that she'd have said, yeah, it's ridiculous, 129 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: I'm all for redoing the way we come up with 130 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 4: these numbers. Put me in charge of it. I'd love to. 131 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: But who knows. It's possible this was to bump Epstein off. 132 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: I mean, it ended the Epstein thing. Not I heard 133 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: near the word once yesterday on the Sunday shows, and 134 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 4: from all reporting, the Trump White House was pretty desperate 135 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: to finally end that damn scandal once and for all. 136 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's what happened here or not. 137 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: It seems like I had one more thing to see. Well, 138 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: you know, it's funny. 139 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm less likely to believe that just because of Kevin 140 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: Hassett's explanation. 141 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it makes perfect sense there. 142 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: Well, what are we even doing here with these statistics 143 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: that they're that wildly wrong? 144 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 4: But Trump's portrayal of it could have been to get 145 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: everybody's attention, which it certainly did well. He is parlayed 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 4: being under attack to his advantage now his entire on 147 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 4: the political scene, and it's been helped along by the 148 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 4: fact that, well he's been under attack for most of 149 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: the time. Everybody overplays their hand, and I've been complaining 150 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: about this for years. If people would stop doing that, 151 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: it would be so much better. So I generally like 152 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 4: Larry Summers, who was president of Harvard and Obama's economic guy. 153 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: He's a generally pretty reasonable Democrat for a Democrat. I 154 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: like him better than most people they put out there. 155 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: But so he did a list of Trump of what 156 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: we're headed now into now is authoritarianism. Trump did this, 157 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: and he mentioned a couple of other things that were 158 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: a little uncomfortable. I'm on with that Trump has done. 159 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 4: And then he said in the way Trump has gone 160 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: after the colleges, Okay, why did you say that? 161 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: Why did you say. 162 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: That Harvard had ranked last in free speech Columbia was 163 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: not allowing Asian kids or Jews. I mean, come on, 164 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: so everybody overplays their hand and then they lose all credibility. 165 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: And how desperate is Larry Summers to have status among 166 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: his peers or whatever. 167 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's inside the guys. He he's a 168 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: smart guy, but. 169 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: He was fired by Harvard for daring to suggest, you know, 170 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: some of the imbalance in the stem fields is just 171 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: men tend to be, on average better at this stuff 172 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: and more interested in it.

Yeah, 345 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: you know, it's funny. 346 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: I was just reading that according to several organizations, companies, 347 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: people that would know, American consumers are going way towards 348 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: thrifty now. A lot of luxury buying is down, generics 349 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: are up, bulk buying is on the rise. Even your 350 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: fancier burritos are going unordered in your eateries. 351 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: Your fancier burritos. 352 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, trust me when I tell you, Like Chipotle, 353 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: they keep very, very careful track of what is being 354 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: ordered and what's not, and they're seeing a trend. 355 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: Toward lower dollar orders. Wow. 356 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 4: So matched out credit cards, student loan payments coming back. 357 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 4: Probably a certain amount of uneasiness about the future. That'd 358 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 4: be I'm terroristed with the center. I would never buy 359 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: that bed anyway, but I would never be able to 360 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: sleep because I'd be thinking, God, if the economy early crashes, 361 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to feel like an idiot on this eighty 362 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: three thousand dollars bed. 363 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 7: She Many, Armstrong, and Getty. A high stake showdown in 364 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 7: Texas as House Democrats flee the state to delay a 365 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 7: controversial Republican led push to redraw the congressional map in 366 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 7: cities like Austin, Houston, and Dallas. The proposed map could 367 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 7: flip five seats from likely wins by Democrats to Republicans. 368 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 7: The move could help them keep their razor thin House 369 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 7: majority by carving up cities like deep blue Austin into 370 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 7: multiple red districts, leaving just one Democratic stronghold in the center. 371 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: So this is controversial, and it's not usually done midway 372 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: between censuses. Usually redistricting is done every ten years when 373 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: the census comes out. But if there is probably no 374 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: other topic in politics that has more hypocritical posturing than redistricting. 375 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: As each side yells at the other that, well, we'll 376 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: show you what they're yelling in a moment or two. 377 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: But the President of Texas, Greg Abbott, has told the Democrats, 378 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: you got to come back to the session or you're 379 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: maybe committing a felony and we're gonna get you. And 380 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats reacted by quoting a famous line from Texas history, 381 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: come and get it, meaning us or something. 382 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: Well, and how do they teach us when we're seventh 383 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 4: graders that jerry mandering is illegal? And then you grow 384 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 4: up and you realize, like practical everything in the country 385 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: is jerry mandered. 386 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Right exactly, It's just called redistricting. And the sad and 387 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: pathetic state of jurisprudence on this is actually the interesting part. 388 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second or two. But 389 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: here's some of the heated rhetoric. Seventy two Michael. 390 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 6: If Donald Trump is allowed to do this, if he 391 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 6: is allowed to once again cheat and get away with it, Wow, 392 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 6: there's no stopping this. 393 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: This will spread across the country. This is an American 394 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: and this is undemocratic. 395 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 8: Republicans are stealing our democracy right before our very eyes. 396 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 4: So if you ever look at the map of districts, 397 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: you see how and the Republicans and Democrats work together 398 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 4: oftentimes on these so they can not battle over very 399 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 4: many seats. It's really ugly. But they'll like, you know, 400 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 4: the lines go, see, grab this part of a town 401 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 4: that's all going to be blue voters, and then this 402 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: little part of the country that's going to be all 403 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 4: red voters. Are separate even though the town like this 404 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 4: is the way it used to be in the town 405 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 4: I'm in now, I don't know what the lines are now, but. 406 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: They had carved it out. It should be the whole town. 407 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 4: We all live in this town, so we should be 408 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: a voting block people in this town. 409 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: But they didn't. 410 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: They grab part of the town where the liberals lived 411 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 4: and the other part of the town for one district, 412 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 4: another part of the town for Republicans, and just yeah, 413 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 4: it's ridiculous, right, yeah, do you being. 414 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: That they want mostly safe districts so they don't have 415 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: to spend any money in them, and then they're a 416 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: handful of up for grabs districts that have great fights 417 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: in them. One more bit of heated rhetoric. This from 418 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: fat immoral child mutilator JB. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois. 419 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 8: We know that you are making great sacrifices to resist 420 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 8: the power grab that's being perpetrated by Donald Trump, by 421 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 8: Governor Abbott, and by Texas Republicans. We will not let 422 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 8: power go unchecked for, or let your voices and their 423 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 8: voices go unheard. 424 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: In a hilarious and soon to be forgotten aspect of this, 425 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom came out and said, essentially, this is thieving democracy, 426 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: this is aut American, this is immoral. 427 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 2: We need to do it. 428 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: So he's threatening to re re redistrict to California to 429 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: squeeze out the few Republican seats. Actually they're a pretty 430 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: good number, but anyway, so I thought that was interesting. 431 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. They're all grand standing in Sooner or 432 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: later the Democrats will come back and there'll probably be 433 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: some sort of compromise. But that's not the interesting part. Oh, 434 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: And that's all you're gonna hear all day long is 435 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: they look they're fighting. 436 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: They're fighting. But that'll get it, that'll get worked out eventually. 437 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: What the interesting part to me is that, and this 438 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: is such a failure of our system. The status of 439 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: law about redistricting is one of those parts of the 440 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: law that everybody just kind of says, nothing to see here, 441 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: don't look too closely. So you got your Voting Rights 442 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: Act pasted a number of years ago. Supreme Court is 443 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: going to take on a major, may truly historical case. 444 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: They announced on Friday during the October session they're going 445 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: to rehear a redistricting challenge, and they broadened the case 446 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: even more by asking the parties to address the question 447 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: of whether the state's creation of a second majority minority 448 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: conjectural district violates fourteenth or fifteenth Amendments. I know this 449 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: is a little bit thick, but here it is. The 450 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution says you can't change 451 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: what you do government because of the race of the 452 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: person involved, or the religion or the creed, or who 453 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: they sleep with or whatever. You can't. But Section two 454 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: of the Voting Rights Act says, yeah, actually you can 455 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: if they're. 456 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: Black or brown or white. 457 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: In fact, you can draw these crazy ass districts to 458 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: make sure that there are the right number of what 459 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: they call majority minority districts, meaning, for instance, I don't 460 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: know when Kansas a lot of Hispanic people, they got 461 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: to get a district and I'm about to black folks 462 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: over by Kansas City. 463 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: It ain't gotta have a. 464 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: District over there, and I don't care how crazy quilt 465 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: weird looking it is, you gotta drawma district. Well, obviously 466 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: those two things are not compatible. And the Supreme Court 467 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty six unleashed a ruling that satisfied 468 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: no one, and nobody can figure out that it requires 469 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: states to draw these majority minority districts if the minority 470 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: populations are large, compact, and politically cohesive, but the white 471 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: votes sufficiently as a group could defeat a minorities preferred candidate. 472 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: So it's to be it's got to be a community 473 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: of the racial minority people. It can't be a crazy 474 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: quilt boa constrictor you know, laid across parts of the state. 475 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: And those two things have been completely at odds for 476 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: the longest time now, since nineteen eighty six. Nobody knows 477 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: what the law is. States think, well, we can't be 478 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: run a fellow of the Equal Protection Guarantee. Yeah, we 479 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: can't get in trouble unders two of the voting right tack. 480 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: So what do we do. I don't know. 481 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: Let's kind of just half ass these weird districts. 482 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 2: So it's long overdue. 483 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: The Scotus is gonna say, all right, here's the deal, 484 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna be one or the other. 485 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: Boy, it'd be something if they. 486 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 4: Had a ruling that would cause us to redraw districts 487 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: all across the country and get it back to well something, 488 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 4: not what it is. Like we were just explaining, the 489 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 4: two major parties have worked together to make most of 490 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 4: the seats safe. Do you know that that's why third 491 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 4: parties can't ever get anywhere? They've gone out of their 492 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 4: way to make sure the Republicans and Democrats will have 493 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 4: a certain giant number that are almost impossible to dislodge 494 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 4: people from, and then they'll fight over the other fifty 495 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: or whatever number they've decided on that they'll make competitive. 496 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 4: And if you drew all these lines in a more 497 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 4: normal way, like this town is represents a group of people. 498 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: All the people living a rural lifestyle outside of it 499 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: are a different group of people like that, which would 500 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 4: make more sense. We'd have way more competitive races. And well, 501 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 4: does anybody think the way things are going right now 502 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 4: is a good thing? 503 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: No?

But it was just a little while 510 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 4: back that Clarence Thomas was commenting on this Louisiana case 511 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 4: and said, look, Court, you've got to figure this out, 512 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 4: because this is absurd. This is exactly what we're supposed 513 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: to do, and we're not doing it. Figuring out whether 514 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: the Section two or this stupid case run a foul 515 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 4: of the Constitution's Equal Protection clause. 516 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 2: So there could be a. 517 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: Giant change coming in the way these maps are drawn 518 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: coming up in Uh, well, the session is in October. 519 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: Then when do they at least those decisions.

That is going to be a 539 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 4: big deal. 540 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: This and they've gone back, and this varies like every 541 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: week after week.

So the government 576 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: class can spend lots of money and accumulate more power 577 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: and wealth themselves.
