So when ga makes it not only more
difficult to vote, but
specifically targets things like
people who hand out water to those
waiting hours in the scalding
sun to vote making that illegal,
it's hard to defend that but
fox and friends is going to try.
Let's take a look.
>> The water argument is what
cracks me up though,
because what line of you ever stood
in a few got a Yankee Stadium you
stand in line to get a ticket.
Do they serve you water?
Do you care?
>> just hot towels.
That's a good.
>> I have been voting for
over 40 years and
I have never thought to myself.
Okay. I'm going to go vote today.
They have snacks, right?
Absolutely.
I'm not worried about next thing.
>> I know.
>> No water.
>> Well, they certainly made
it condescending Charles.
[LAUGH] So the people might have to
wait 2 hours, or 4 hours, or
6 hours, or 10 hours as we have
seen in multiple elections, and
they're in that position by design.
The polls have been taken out of
areas to create long lines now, for
people who are in incredibly hot
conditions.
They're just complaining
because they want hot towels and
they want snacks.
Charles, what do you think?
>> I think that this is exactly
the problem when you don't have
proper contextual framing around
narratives.
I think that This is where media
becomes dangerous.And I think
that for as upsetting and
condescending as this is.This is
very problematic and very troubling
because people take these sort of
half big narratives and they run
with them.I live in New York.I've
been to Shea stadium.I've been to
Yankee stadium.Never have I waited
in line, In Shea Stadium to going
to get a ticket as the anchor said
four hours that hasn't happened.
Right? So by way of analogy,
that's just poor logic.
Let's just start there.
Like that's just a bad analogy to
start with just say Yeah,if I go
to a baseball game, I don't get
the water while I'm waiting.
First of all, you don't wait hours
to get into the stadium and
secondly if you wanted water when
you got inside you could get.
Water wouldn't be available.
>> There's probably people selling
water nearby >> and there's
probably people selling one and
let's be clear, because I live in
New York I can talk about this.
If you're outside Shea Stadium or
Yankee Stadium best believe there
are young people who are out there
with the entrepreneurial spirit on
selling water out of coolers.
>> Yep, >> The people who
are in line or
people were just walking up because
they know that it's hot, right?
>> Yeah. >> And that's not illegal,
so terrible.
>> Can I throw in?
Yeah, you're 100% right, but
I just want to throw in one
additional thing because for all
the reasons that you're laying out
will lay out it's a bad argument,
but it's also a bad argument for
something that's not happening.
Doing all of this to say they
expect water, they expect stacks is
a bad argument to defend, like if
the bill had taken away government
funding for snacks and water.
That's not what's happening here.
They banned it.
[CROSSTALK] >> They made it legal
to give people water >> What
are the bill somehow mandated class
snacks and
more to be pressure now Yeah.
>> they never went why aren't they
making the case for why you should
go to jail if you give someone
a water bottle or a hot towel or
snacks, they're not engaging with
that very much Charles.
>> I'm going to I'm going to say
something that you know people may
find to be offensive but.
It is what it is, john.
These are three white people who
were essentially laughing at
the notion that black people in
the south in rural places who may
have been caused to wait in line,
were thirsty for water and couldn't
get and now they can't get it and
it's almost like boohoo, boohoo.
boohoo, you have three white people
who on this panel Now, this is
a law that was passed in Georgia.
We know that Georgia gets hot.
From a cognitive place, it
obviously evokes a lot of imagery
that is reminiscent of civil
rights, reminiscent of what we have
seen for the struggle for equality
on behalf of black Americans.
And for them to take such
a Cavalier approach to this is
only demonstrative of their extreme
level of privilege and aloofness.
>> Yeah. >> And that's just what
it is right?
>> Yeah.
>> And these are one of these
conversations that we have to be
honest about the racial component.
That is involved here.
And the underpinnings of privilege
that these people talk from with
respect to their positioning in
order to call a spade a spade
around what we're seeing
in the media.
>> Sure.
