THERES A REASON WE LOVE IT AND
THERES NO SHAME IN THAT.
>> HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, RACHEL.
>>> TONIGHT WERE SOUNDING THE
ALARM.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PROTECT THE
RIGHT TO VOTE, EVERYONES RIGHT
TO VOTE, NOT NEXT WEEK OR ONCE
THE NONSENSE IN TEXAS IS OVER OR
THE FRAUDIT IN ARIZONA IS GOING
TO BE DONE.
BUT, IN FACT, NOW.
EACH MOMENT WASTED IS ANOTHER
MOMENT FOR REPUBLICANS TO STOP
MORE OF US FROM EXERCISING THAT
RIGHT, AND THATS HOW ITS GOING
TO GO.
IN A BRAND-NEW REPORT, THE
BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE FINDS
THAT JUST SINCE THE START OF
THIS YEAR, 2021, 18 STATES HAVE
PASSED 30 LAWS TO RESTRICT
VOTING ACCESS, 18.
WERE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THE
YEAR.
YOU CAN BET MORE ARE COMING.
LAST NIGHT PRESIDENT BIDEN
REITERATED THAT HE WOULDNT
ADVOCATE FOR GETTING RID OF OR
WEAKENING THE FILIBUSTER.
HE SAID I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
BRING ALONG NOT JUST ALL THE
DEMOCRATS, WE BRING ALONG
REPUBLICANS, WHO I KNOW KNOW
BETTER.
THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THIS, END
QUOTE.
IM SORRY TO TELL YOU,
MR. PRESIDENT, BUT REPUBLICANS
APPARENTLY DO NOT KNOW BETTER.
JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF EARLIER
THIS MONTH.
>> TO ME, THIS IS SIMPLE.
THIS IS ELECTION SUBVERSION.
ITS THE MOST DANGEROUS THREAT
TO VOTING IN THE INTEGRITY OF
FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS IN OUR
HISTORY.
>> AT THE HIT ALL THE RIGHT
POINTS, EXCEPTED HOW HOW TO FIX
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS DONT KNOW
BETTER.
MAYBE THEY KNOW BETTER, THEY
JUST DONT CARE.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEWED
THE MORE THAN 3 MILLION BALLOTS
CAST IN ARIZONA IN THE 2020
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND FOUND
182 POSSIBLE VOTER FRAUD CASES
UNDER REVIEW.
IT LOOKS LIKE VOTER FRAUD, SO
THEY PUT IT ASIDE.
OF THE 182, ONLY FOUR HAVE BEEN
CHARGED.
FOUR.
TWO REGISTERED DEMOCRATS, TWO
REGISTERED REPUBLICANS.
NO ONES BEEN CONVICTED NO,
VOTES IN ARIZONA WERE COUNTED
TWICE.
BUT REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE ARE
STILL AFTER THREE MONTHS
CARRYING OUT A FAKE FRAUDIT IN
MARICOPA COUNTY.
IT HAS NOT ENDED.
THEY DONT KNOW BETTER.
YOU CAN KNOCK DOWN THEIR
ELECTION CONSPIRACIES OVER AND
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN IN A
COURT OF LAW, AS HAS BEEN DONE,
AND THEYLL STILL TELL YOU THAT
THERE IS FRAUD.
IT IS EMBARRASSING.
IT IS SHAMEFUL.
REPUBLICANS USED TO BE AFRAID OF
SHAME BUT DO THE ENTIRE GOP
STAYS QUIET PART OUT LOUD, SHAME
BE DAMNED.
ITS WHY SIMILAR IDIOTIC FAKE
AUDITS ARE BEING ATTEMPTED IN
OTHER STATES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA,
MICHIGAN, AND WISCONSIN.
THEY WANT TO SUBVERT THE WILL OF
THE PEOPLE TO STAY IN POWER.
ID LIKE TO WAIT FOR REPUBLICANS
TO WAKE UP AND DO THE RIGHT
THING, BUT THAT ISNT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THEY DONT KNOW BETTER,
MR. PRESIDENT.
WHAT THEY DO KNOW IS THAT THEIR
EFFORTS TO KEEP VOTING SAFE ARE
WORKING.
THEYRE NOT KEEPING VOTING SAFE,
THEYRE JUST WORKING TO KEEP
PEOPLE AWAY FROM BALLOTS.
MORE PEOPLE IN MORE STATES ARE
GOING TO FIND IT HARDER TO VOTE
BECAUSE OF VOTER SECURITY
EFFORTS BY THE GOP.
AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE BY AND
LARGE PEOPLE OF COLOR, THE POOR,
STUDENTS, BUSY WORKING MOMS.
SO FOLKS, DEMOCRATS HAVE GOT TO
MEET THE MOMENT WITH WHAT THE
MOMENT DEMANDS.
NO MORE HALF MEASURES, NO MORE
WATERED-DOWN BILLS AMENABLE TO
REPUBLICANS.
DEMOCRATS MUST BLOW UP THE
FILIBUSTER.
OR IF YOURE A TRADITIONALIST
AND YOU LIKE THE FILIBUSTER,
JUST CARVE OUT AN EXCEPTION FOR
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, VOTING
REFORM.
IM NOT SOME BLIND IDEALIST.
I DONT THIS PRESIDENT THIS
MESSAGE WILL CHANGE THE MINDS OF
JOE MANCHIN OR KYRSTEN SINEMA OR
JOE BIDEN, BUT IT SHOULD, AND
THE ALARM NEEDS TO BE SOUNDED BY
YOU AS MUCH AS BY ME OVER AND
OVER AGAIN.
IF SENATE DEMOCRATS ELIMINATE
THE FILIBUSTER RULE AND PASS THE
FOR THE PEOPLE ACT, THE RIGHT OF
ALL ELIGIBLE AMERICANS TO VOTE
WILL BE PROTECTED.
IF THEY DONT, MORE AMERICANS
WILL FIND THAT RIGHT HAS BEEN
DIMINISHED.
THAT MAY NOT SEEM OBVIOUS TO
YOU.
WHAT DOES DIMINISHED MEAN?
YOU EITHER HAVE THE RIGHT TO
VOTE OR NOT.
ILL SHOW YOU WHAT IT MEANS.
OF IT DISCOURAGES PEOPLE FROM
VOTING.
IT INTIMIDATES THEM AND MAKES IT
HARDER FOR THEM TO VOTE.
YOU MIGHT HAVE NEVER HAD A HARD
TIME VOTING.
YOUVE NEVER BEEN STOPPED AT THE
POLLS.
BUT JUST BECAUSE IT DOESNT
HAPPEN TO YOU OR ME DOESNT MEAN
IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO ANYONE
IN THIS COUNTRY.
ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION.
YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED FOR THE
PEOPLE WHOSE RIGHTS ARE BEING
DIMINISHED.
AND BECAUSE IT HASNT HAPPENED
TO YOU DOESNT MEAN IT CANT
HAPPEN TO YOU IN THE FUTURE.
THE RIGHT TO VOTE, AS WERE
LEARNING, IS NOT A GIVEN.
AND IF ONE PERSONS RIGHT TO
VOTE IS CURTAILED OR THREATENED,
THE OVERALL WILL OF THE PEOPLE
IS THREATENED.
SO GET UP AND SOUND THE ALARM
LIKE I AM.
THIS COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS, ALWAYS
TRIED TO MOVE TOWARD A MORE
PERFECT UNION.
