1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Businesses are now being held hostage by Black Lives Matter activists. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: In fact, it's gotten so bad that there were one 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: hundred business executives that were held hostage on a video. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: They're being forced to come out and say no to 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: this new voting rules and laws. Now, this all has 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: stemmed from what happened in Georgia, and a group of 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: more than one hundred business community leaders joined a zoom 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: call to quote exports steps they could take to push 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: back against legislation being considered in state legislators legislatures across 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: the country that would tighten, as they describe it, voting laws. 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: This first being reported by the Washington Post. Now you 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: may wonder who is being held hostage and who was 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: forced to be on this call. Let me just give 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: you some of the top name brands Viacom, CBS, LinkedIn, Walmart, 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Levi's, you know the gene comp DH, 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: Shaun Company, Paul Weiss, Cybercurt Merk, you know the shipping 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: company AMC, Starbucks, American Airlines, the Atlanta Falcons, Target, BCG. 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: These are just some of the major brands that were 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: on this call.

Now, 22 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: why did all these companies come together. It's because all 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: of these companies are now being held hostage by BLM 24 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and by the extreme socialist Democratic Party. They're afraid of 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: being called racists. They're afraid of being accused of being 26 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: some sort of supporting company of racism. They're if that's 27 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: not enough, they're now saying, well, if you don't get 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: on the call, then you're maybe zenophobic.

Yes, that's what the Biden administration 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: is now selling. Mayor Pete said that racism quote is 33 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: physically built into our nation's highway That is what the 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: new transtation secretary suggested during an interview. That racism is 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: actually literally built into the nation's highway systems because well, 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: everything now in America, of course is racist, right, I 37 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: mean progressive now see think trades are actually racist. I'm 38 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: not joking. I'm gonna tell you about that in a 39 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: moment there are there is racism. He went on to say, 40 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm referring to Mayor Pete physically built into some of 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: our highways, and that's why the job's plan has specifically 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided 43 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: by these dollars. That's what the South ben Indiana former 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: mayor said while speaking to a reporter April Ryan this 45 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: week in an interview that talked about President Joe Biden's 46 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: proposed two trillion dollar government slush fund that they're disguising 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: the name of an infrastructure plan. He says, our highways 48 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: are racists. Well, if you're in Washington, I'm told the 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: history of the highway is one that was built at 50 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: the expensive communities of color in the DC area. There 51 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: are stories, and I think Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and New 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: York are most famously saw through the construction of a 53 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: lot of these highways. Mayor Pete added that there has 54 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: been a lack of federal infrastructure project in black communities 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: throughout the history and said it was just an active neglect, 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: but rather a conscious It wasn't just an active neglect, 57 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: I should say, but rather a conscientious choice, and the 58 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Biden administration is going to fix that through this spinning package. Now, 59 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Biden touted his plan saying, we don't just fix this 60 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: for today, we're building for tomorrow. Two hundred years ago. 61 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: Trains weren't traditional infrastructure either, until America made a choice 62 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: to lay down tracks across the country. Biden added, highways 63 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: weren't tradish infrastructure until we allowed ourselves to imagine that 64 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: roads could connect our nation across state lines. So there 65 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: you have it right now. This is what they're selling you. 66 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: This insanity is what they're selling you, and that is 67 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: to imagine that the roads are racists. Therefore, we need 68 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: new roads that aren't racists, because that's how we sell 69 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: you on an infrastructure plan. We're now selling this plan 70 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: to leverage racial tension in this country as a means 71 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: of justification for putting together strategies to rebuild the country 72 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: in a socialist society. Now, let me go back to 73 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: these one hundred business executives who are meeting, and we 74 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: have an administration saying that our roadways are now racist. 75 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: This group of more than one hundred business community leaders 76 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: got on this zoom call because none of them wanted 77 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: to be called racists, right. They say they're now exploring 78 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: the next steps they could push to take back. There 79 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: can unities and take back and fight back legislation being 80 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: considered in state legislators across the country that would actually 81 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: make sure that we don't have a lot of fraud 82 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: and abuse in our system. It's also now an excuse 83 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: for them to not give money to Republicans. That's right. 84 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: Leaders of Delta American United, Starbucks target LinkedIn Levi Strauss 85 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: Boston consultant group all on this call are now saying, well, 86 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't give to legislative legislators, governors, congressman, sentators 87 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: that actually support these laws. Two of the main avenues 88 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: apparently discussed. We're stopping number one, these donations to all 89 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: these politicians who support this legislation and also quote postponing 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: investment in states that approve these measures. Four people who 91 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: are on the call said that they believe that the 92 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: organizers a Yale management professor's goal is to make sure 93 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: that no Republicans get money from any of these companies 94 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: any longer. Let me play for you a little bit 95 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: of how this all was described on Fox News with 96 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: Steve Forbes, who responded, that's over the weekend on Zoom 97 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: about the new voting laws, like the one that's just 98 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: passed in Georgia. I want to bring Steve Forbes into 99 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: this because, look, Steve, whether we like it or not, 100 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: companies are now taking political sides. What do you make 101 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: of it? The key thing is on something like voting rights. 102 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: I think everyone isn't basic principles than favor of voting rights, 103 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: having fair and secure elections, or companies have to take 104 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: care of, especially with their brands. Is getting the particulars 105 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: right we learned in the case of Georgia, for all 106 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: of the emotions, George's new law is less restrictive than 107 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: the election laws of Delaware and New York and other 108 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: blue states, which, by the way, that doesn't matter of course, 109 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: right what Steve Forbes is now saying is the facts. 110 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: The is you moved a game from an area in 111 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: the country that desperately need the business because you lied 112 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: to the people about their laws, claiming they're restrictive because 113 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Republicans put them in, and they're actually less restrictive than 114 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: these other liberal states, including the state where you're moving 115 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: the game to, which brings me to another part of 116 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: this story, business owners are now ripping Major League Baseball 117 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: for pulling the All Star Game from Atlanta, saying that 118 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: this is destroying their communities. These minority small business owners 119 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: are now getting together in Atlanta and they're blasting Major 120 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: League Baseball commissioner for pushing the very group they claim 121 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: to be defending by moving the All Star Game to Colorado. 122 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: Daryl Anderson is a black man owner of a limousine 123 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: service that would have likely seen a significant increase in 124 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: business during the All Star week. He now told the 125 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon, of course, because no other news media 126 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: outlet would actually do their job and interview small business 127 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: owners minorities small business owners right, that this move deprived 128 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: minority business owners of a much needed opportunity to make 129 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: up financial losses from the pandemic. Quote, as the owner 130 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: of a transportation service in Atlanta, I know firsthand how 131 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: badly our community one of the All Star Game played here. 132 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: The one hundred million in revenue that this area was 133 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: going to see an opportunity for us to recover many 134 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: of the losses that we encouraged during the pandemic. Now, 135 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: not only is the revenue gone, we may lose even 136 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: more because now people are afraid to book conventions, people 137 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: are afraid to do big events, and they are afraid 138 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: of planning anything in the Atlanta area because of the 139 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: decision by Major League Baseball and people don't want the 140 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: negative pr Now, the Major League Commissioner Rob Manfred decide 141 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: to move the All Star Game from Atlanta after Georgia 142 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: passed a voter reform law to prevent fraudulent voting. Now 143 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: I go back to the story that everybody should be 144 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: talking about. By the way, with a commissioner, the Commissioner 145 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: Baseball as a member to gust National, I wonder if 146 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: he was at the Masters, right, If if the woke 147 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: community really wants to go after the Commissioner Baseball, you 148 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: should demand that he denounced the Masters, because the Masters 149 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: is clearly some evil, rich white man's club. Why is 150 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: it that he can still be a part of the Masters. 151 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: And Augusta, wouldn't you have to announce the Masters and 152 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: quit your membership? Resigned from the Masters? Of course not right, 153 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: because it's too much fun to play golf with the 154 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: greatest golf course in the world, and it's okay at 155 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: the same time to attack a community which on every 156 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: other day of the year when baseball season's end, you 157 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: have no problem with him spending their money with Atlanta 158 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: Braves in the same damn stadium that you just pulled 159 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: out of saying it's racist. The amount of hypocrisy from 160 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball here is just purely disgusting. They are 161 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: And again, I wouldn't support Major League Baseball if I 162 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: lived in Atlanta at this point, no way. I wouldn't 163 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: go to the game. I wouldn't give them a dime. 164 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't watch the Atlanta Braves. I would make it 165 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: hurt because they don't believe what they're doing right now. 166 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: They're just playing to the lowest common denominator. Right they 167 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: saw an opportunity to scream, you know, BLM and did 168 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: not be a target of BLM. So they want your 169 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: money every day to support the Atlanta Braves and Major 170 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: League Baseball and to make them money. But except one 171 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: day of the year when they were gonna have the 172 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: All Star Game, and they want you to go that 173 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: stadium the weeks ahead of time and support every team 174 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: that plays they are in that stadium and the Atlanta Braves, 175 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: and every game after the All Star Game, they want 176 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: you to come there spend your money. But they said, 177 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: on this one day, we can't do it. We are 178 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: going to stand up because of these voting laws. And oh, 179 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: by the way, after I'm done watching the game, the 180 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: commissioner will go to Augusta National and play golf, not 181 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: denouncing the masters are Augusta National, of course, and having 182 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: no problem saying part of that club. After he says 183 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: the state is racist and we must pull our business 184 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: from the state. This all coming because Georgia passed a 185 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: voter reform law to prevent fraudulent voting. That's it. The 186 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: law's chief features include a provision requiring roof of ID 187 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: for mail in voting and limits of time period for 188 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,119 Speaker 1: requesting an absentee ballot. Though despite criticism from Democratic politicians 189 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: and activists, the law significantly expands voting opportunities. The Job 190 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: Creators Network, a group that advocates advocates for small businesses, 191 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: and a letter to the Commissioner Mansfield, highlight the damage 192 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: done specifically to minority business and asking him to move 193 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: the game back to Atlanta. Quote. Your decision is punishing 194 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: the very groups you claim to be defending, is what 195 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: the Job Creator's Network. Alfonso Ortiz wrote, small businesses and 196 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: George are hurting and you pulled a multimillion dollar rug 197 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: out from underneath them. Don't let activist groups weaponize America's 198 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: pastime to push radical ideas that Major League Baseball fans 199 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: don't support. Anderson blasted the Union of Politicians and Corporations, 200 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: stating that nothing good can happen when politics mixes with sports, saying, quote, 201 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: when big business teams up with politicians, they make bad decisions, 202 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: and small businesses and their hard working employees suffer the most. 203 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: He's right, by the way, politics should be decided at 204 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: the ballot box. There's no place in making business decisions 205 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: like where to hold the All Star Game, and a 206 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: recent Rasmussen poll, by the way, a plurality of black 207 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: voters said they opposed Major League Baseball's decision to move 208 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: it's All Star game from Atlanta. A majority almost sixty 209 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: percent said it was a bad idea for sports teams 210 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: and athletes to get involved in politics as well. Nevertheless, 211 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna hurt minorities and then we're gonna have a 212 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: hundred companies being held hostage. Getting on a zoom call 213 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: saying now we've got an opportunity to stop giving money 214 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: to Republican candidates. Delta American United, Starbucks Target LinkedIn Levi 215 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: all on this call. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank was 216 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: also on the call. And then what they're gonna do 217 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: is they're saying we're gonna stop donations of politicians who 218 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: support this legislation. Let's go back to Forbes real quick again. 219 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Listen to this from Fox over the weekend on zoom 220 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: about the new voting laws like the one that's just 221 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: passed in Georgia. I want to bring Steve Forbes into 222 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: this because, look, Steve, whether we like it or not, 223 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: companies are now taking political sides. What do you make 224 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: of it? The key thing is on something like voting rights. 225 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: I think everyone isn't basic principles in favor of voting rights, 226 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: having fair and secure elections or companies have to take 227 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: care of, especially with their brands. Is getting the particulars 228 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: right we learned in the case of Georgia for all 229 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: of the emotions, George's new law is less restrictive than 230 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: the election laws of Delaware and New York and other 231 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Blue states. So if a company wants to weigh in 232 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: and put its brand on the line, get the facts right, 233 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: and weigh in saying this particular thing we don't think 234 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: is right, is wrong. But don't do these broadsides until 235 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: you get the particulars of each case. And so you're 236 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: going to see this around the country. But the key 237 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: thing is get the facts right before you weigh in. Okay, 238 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: Chris Wallace on fault, get the facts right. I don't 239 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: think the facts matter anymore. Right, it's not about the facts. 240 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: Eugene Daniels. He went on MSNBC saying not true that 241 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: they're dem controlled states with more restrictive voting laws than Georgia. 242 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: This is how much they'll lie on the other networks 243 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: to try to get you to believe this. Listen to 244 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: this and right now, the fact checkers could fact check 245 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: what was just said on MSNBC and they would immediately 246 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: know this a lie. But they're pushing these lies. That's 247 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: why you got a hundred businesses on a zoom call 248 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: saying all right now, we can use this as a 249 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: catalyst to stop giving money to any republic As or 250 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: conservatives that are in Congress or the state legislator or governors, 251 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: because we say that if you support these laws to 252 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: protect everyone's right to vote, protect the integrative vote. You're 253 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: a racist? Or were you when it made a difference? Eugene. 254 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: A Republican argument here is that voting laws are actually 255 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: more restrictive in a number of Democratic controlled states than 256 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Does that argument have any truth to it? 257 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: Not really there as for you, I love that? Not really? Okay, Well, 258 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: then tell me what is where they're law lying here? 259 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Do you have more days to vote in Georgia than 260 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: you do in Colorado where they move the age of 261 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: league baseball game? The answer is yes, you have more 262 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: opportunities to vote and more ways to vote. Yes. Is 263 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: it easier to get an absent de ballot in Georgia 264 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: than it is in Colorado? Yes? So again, tell me 265 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: as you have two hundred companies speaking out against subs 266 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: restrictive quote voting laws, that's what they say, and a 267 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: hundred companies on this zoom call this weekend trying to 268 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: figure out how they can take money away from Republican candidates. 269 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: Eugene Daniels, Please tell me, and she asked a question, 270 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: a loaded question, and you lied. Tell me how it 271 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: is easier to vote in Calorado than it is in 272 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: Georgia under the new laws. The Republican argument here is 273 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: that voting laws are actually more restrictive in a number 274 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: of democratic controlled states than in Georgia. Does that argument 275 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: have any truth to it? Not really, there's as per 276 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: usual with politics, it's not as easy as the side 277 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: wants it to be. And depending the part of the 278 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Georgia law that would prevent people from getting food and water, 279 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: they point it to Delaware as having kind of a 280 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: similar law. It does not. That section of the state's 281 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: law is specifically tied to bribery. It doesn't even mention 282 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: food or water. New York does have a clause about 283 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: people not handing out food and drinks in near polling places, 284 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: but the caveat is that it has to be It 285 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: can happen if it's of little value, so less than 286 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: one dollar, which water certainly falls under. They also point to, 287 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: by the way, this is where they're just making up crap, 288 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: and I'm going to call them out on it. The 289 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: law in Georgia does not say that you can't give 290 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: somebody water. What it says is you can't give somebody 291 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: water and be doing it for a political purpose to 292 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: influence that person's vote. So, in other words, a candidate 293 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: or an advocacy group is not allowed to hand out 294 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: water or food under a dollar, because you could argue 295 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: that a slice of pizza is under a dollar. Right, Well, 296 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: if I'm sending in a line, you hand me a 297 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: piece of pizza, and then a few minutes later you 298 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: hand me a diet coke, or you hand me a 299 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: bottle of water, and you're with an advocacy group is 300 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: which is to defund the police, or be anti gun 301 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: or anti whatever, or to support a certain candidate or 302 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: a ballot initiative that is trying to influence the voters 303 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: while they're in line. We have laws against that. There 304 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: is nothing in the Georgia law that says that you 305 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: cannot have self serve water or have nonpartisan people that 306 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: give out water or food. Democrats keep pushing the narrative, however, 307 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: that we're wanting to starve people in line with these 308 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: new voting laws, which is just so dumb. A nonpartisan 309 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: individual can give out food or drink to somebody in line, 310 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: or they have no one standing at a place where 311 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: you can get water. If you are standing in line 312 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: to vote. The law is very simple in Georgia. You 313 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: can't be wearing a T shirt or supporting a certain 314 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: candidate or cause or ballot initiative and trying to use 315 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: someone wanting water or food in line to then secure 316 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: their vote. That is the problem. I think everybody should 317 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: understand that the NARA shouldn't be able to give out water. 318 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: Neither should the Brady campaign that's anti gun. Black Lives 319 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: Matter shouldn't be able to give out water. Neither should 320 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: the KKK. We don't want people being able to hand 321 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: out food and water, bribing people to vote for them, 322 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: or any other gifts. That's something we definitely do not 323 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: want to happen. That's something we don't want to happen period. 324 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that we don't want 325 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: that to happen. I think it's pretty important that we 326 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: make sure that that doesn't happen. That's part of securing 327 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: how people vote, making sure that people can't have too 328 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: much influence on how you vote. But again, MSNBC out there, 329 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: Eugene Daniels just lying about this, making it up on MSNBC, 330 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: telling you things that aren't true that it's easy to 331 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: fact check. But they don't stop him, because as long 332 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: as you put out bad information. You get people to 333 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: declare that somehow these voting rights bills are racist, then 334 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: all these companies can say we're not giving money anybody 335 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: that supports them. Yeah, is that it has to be. 336 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: It can happen if it's of little value, so less 337 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: than one dollar, which Water certainly falls under. They also 338 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: point to Colorado state where I went to college and 339 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: worked in for three years, as having voter ID laws. 340 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: But Colorado has been looked at as the gold standard 341 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: give me more access, boosting turnout by both Democrats and 342 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: Republicans for years. They have a universal vote by mail system, 343 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: and more importantly, when it comes to voter ID laws 344 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: of the state, they require some type of identification. However, 345 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: they don't require a picture to be on it. Right, 346 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: So someone can take a utility bill, a bank statement 347 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: of paycheck, or really any other government document that shows 348 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: their name and address. And I think, by the way, 349 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about that real quick, Okay, if I 350 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: want to create commit voter fraud, what Eugene Daniel's MSNBC 351 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: is saying is you should be able to take somebody's mail, 352 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 1: steal their mail, grab anything in their mail that has 353 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: a name and address, and you should have walk in 354 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: and vote on that person's behalf and not have to 355 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: show any other form of ID. Okay, So if I 356 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: want to really get into this and I want to 357 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: early vote on day one, I guess I could just 358 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: drive around town and go through mailboxes and just grab 359 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: all of their mail, or grab one piece of their mail, right, 360 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: just slip one piece and go here it is. I'm bob, 361 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote today, and they can't stop you 362 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: from voting. That's what they're advocating for, which is how 363 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: you get absolute voter fraud. This is how you do it. Well, 364 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: if I say that, then now apparently I'm racist. I'm 365 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: not allowed to say that. That's something that is inappropriate 366 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: to say. That's a racist line, all right. So somebody 367 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: goes to minority community and takes a whole bunch of 368 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: mail out of that minority community, takes a whole bunch 369 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: stuff out of that minority community, a bunch of mail, 370 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: and goes and votes in their behalf. Is that not 371 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: taking the rights away from minority voters? I would say 372 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: it probably is. I would say it probably is. That 373 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: would be my I think most people would agree with 374 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: me that that is taking away the right of a 375 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: minority individual to vote, and that is a problem. But 376 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: let's just keep going. Let's just keep you attacking, Let's 377 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: keep moving forward with these lies. And that's why these 378 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: one hundred businesses are together discussing how they can stop 379 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: donations to politicians they call it's truly just to Republicans 380 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: who support this legislation. The goal of the call, they say, 381 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: was to bring together companies that have issued their own 382 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: statements following the signage of Georgia's voting bill. The participants 383 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: didn't set on any final steps. The meeting was the 384 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The meeting comes 385 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: as backlash crows against Georgie's recently passed voting law in 386 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: the GOP battles with companies that have expressed opposition since 387 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: Governor Kemp signed the bill. Companies including Cocola and Delta 388 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: have spoken out against the legislation. Then Major League Baseball 389 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: pulled their All Star Game from Atlanta and protests the legislation. 390 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: Lawmakers and Texas of advanced legislation on April the first 391 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: that would implement new voting restrictions in the state. There 392 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: including limits on pulling place ours and reducing options for 393 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: voters to cast ballots is what the left is now saying. 394 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: These states need to understand and these governors that you 395 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: don't stop, you keep going forward, and you keep moving 396 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: to protect the integrity of the vote. And any of 397 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: these companies that are in your state getting tax breaks, 398 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: who are now calling you and your citizens racist, kick 399 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: them the hell out, take away their tax breaks. I 400 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: dare you. I know we're right by the way, and 401 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: I know that they're wrong. Look at look at the 402 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: new data we have coming, for example, from San Francisco. 403 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: San Francisco is where Nancy Plosi's from. More people are 404 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: moving out of San Francisco than any other major city 405 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: in America in the last year. You won't know why, 406 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: because of government overreach and the psychotic nature of the 407 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: government san Francisco, the socialist government in San Francisco. You 408 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: have overly tax people, you have terrible laws that like 409 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: they fund the police. You have crime out of control, 410 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: and people that have a brand and are leaving. They're done, 411 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: They're leaving. And don't think for a moment that these 412 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: that these democrats actually care about your right to vote. 413 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: They care about manipulating in the elections. That's why they're 414 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: doing this. Look a look at now how they're wing 415 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,479 Speaker 1: to attack companies. Joe Biden's economic advisor says, quote, I'm 416 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: not going to negotiate tax rates on TV as they're 417 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: going to come after these companies because they want a 418 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: lot of these jobs to disappear. So the President has 419 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: proposed raising the corporate tax rate to twenty eight percent. 420 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Senator Joe Mansion of West Virginia says he wants 421 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: to see the number at twenty five percent. You open 422 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: to that. Look, the President himself said he's going to 423 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: be talking with members on both sides of the aisle. 424 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: Quoting the President to compromise is inevitable. So I'm not 425 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: going to negotiate tax rates on TV today. I think 426 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: the critical point from President Biden is that the plan 427 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: pays for itself over fifteen years, and that is extremely important. 428 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: You know, one of my main areas of research and 429 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: economics is fiscal policy. And when you're talking about the 430 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: relief plan a temporary measure, it's perfectly fine for that 431 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: to be deficit finance. But when you're talking about longer 432 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: term investments and water in bridges in standing up key sectors, 433 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: that don't exist in childcare. I mean, it's amazing. This 434 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: is this is where they go with this. We're not 435 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: gonna We're not going to negotiate on TV. Well, you're 436 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: about to do it to all these companies. You're about 437 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: to hurt all of these companies by raising their taxes. 438 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: You go, I'm not negotiate on TV. Well, where are 439 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: you going to do it? In a dark room? So 440 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: no one knows what's going on here? Right? What are 441 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: you gonna do? Now? These African American small business owners 442 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: that are ripping Atlanta and ripping Major League Baseball for 443 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: pulling the All Star Game from Atlanta, that's the story 444 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: that the news should be covering. You have the Job 445 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: Creators Network, a group that advocates your small businesses, sending 446 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: a letter to the commissioner highlighting the damage being done 447 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: to minority businesses and ask them to move the game 448 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: back to Atlanta. They should move the game back, and 449 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: they won't. And the reason why is because of politics. 450 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: These hundred plus business executives that talk about going after 451 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: these places that do this with their voting laws, they're 452 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: just looking for an excuse to never have to give 453 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: a dime to Republican candidates. Ever, again, it's your choice 454 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,239 Speaker 1: if you decide to continue to support these companies. I 455 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: personally am not going to. I'm going to do everything 456 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: I can to not support these companies because this is 457 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. They're trying to shut silence 458 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: and shut down Republican leaders all over the country, and 459 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: they're doing it now in the name of the voting 460 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: rights laws, which are actually about your right to protect 461 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: your vote, your rights to protect and make sure that 462 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: your vote is not being taken away from you.
