Let me to an end We can we get a preview of the republican parties. Closing argument: at a pair of cultures, trump rallies in nevada and arizona, the twenty twenty four geo p front runner appeared with each state's major candidates. In a random assortment of mega goons, to focus on what voters care about most. Let's listen well. They investigate and prosecute bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton jewel We should look into what took place with george bush's father, a very nice man, the warehouse of documents and what about bureaucracy and obama day under potential prosecution? I don't think so. Meanwhile, George H, w bush took millions of dollars. I to form a bowling alley and a former chinese restaurant where they can bind them. So therein a Bali galley slash chinese restaurant. This a very the decision that was made the court, the socks decision again it had to do with bill Clinton socks. There is.

no crime. You know there is no crime, zadok cry, and They should give me immediately back everything that they ve taken from, because it's mine they lose documents they plant documents. Let's see, is there a book on nuclear destruction nor the building of a nuclear weapon cheaply? Let's put that box put that book in with trump now they plant documents, while I have to say The part where he advocates investigating a dead president, but then says he was a nice but I didn't work. I dont illegally knows that george w bush is dead. I think you're on your own and honestly, I worthy to be invited to the funeral. Others get pretty mad about a note.

And forgets who's dead, trump forgets who's dead. These guys forget who's that so so it is true, so JEB Bush later tweeted a clip of this and asked trump what the heck is up with you. What do you guys think? What's up what's up with him? This? Is it just me, or is he starting sound like someone doing impersonation. If he sounds like that, these sounds like yes around guy now he's doing he's doing that new s, an impression of himself also, I'm a little worried that trump just revealed here, a little bit more information about the specifics of the nuclear documents that he was purported to have like it. Is he exaggerating, or is he letting us know that it's actually worse than we thought? You know what I mean? Oh yeah, it was like innocent. It was very specific to cause he was like how to build a nuclear bomb cheaply like wherever they are fighting suitcase news. Nuke recipe down. There was also a candle, pinner, big babo

If anyone knows about handle, no one thinks about candle pen outside areas without any any india. Nobody knows is a stupid game, throne of maize, about bowling pen. You know your friend ass, a juicy. You know it's not really like throwing the ball as fast as you can a tiny little kansas into the big dunbar had spent his periodic hampers to bumpers. Anyhow, I gotta say: audio chinese restaurant bowling alley. Combo great idea that I get a blue gray, tasty, taste gray together, actually tell people what he is referring to buy visual. Why? Why why? Why? Because why bother with what else would also they listening to us for these wonderful jokes about what he just said? I regret that, but you can let the little now have legislation, let's debunk, with decent above our airlines that has been on our agenda. Bunking helmets, Jeff acted, could doubt debunking minds. Go let's go. Let's get some fuckin. Let's get some pinocchio here, she's trying to argue that every president has kept records and done it the same way as him describes. What he's doing is,

describing buildings that used to be used for one purpose that were converted to another. Best in trying to make it sound like they are forever and secured unsafe. So, using like you know they, the record to a former bowling alleys, restaurant river. Sure, yes, but you can. You can turn a building that housed a restaurant into a bank. By modifying it yet Tommy halts ignited what happens here? We ve ever seen a chase bank. That's shaped like a pizza, had its click. Ok, leave your money there yet another that they put a fucking Walton there, and then they and then they guarded it with people who had top secret security clearance outside that says what they did with george h, w bush's records before they moved the records per into the library which is the permanent home it, says in this webinar by the secret service is guarding mara lago, so he's trying to suggest that's even safer, but of course they weren't. The secret service, wasn't paying attention to every random office, building in broome and in monologue as basement, etc

works. It's very nice cause. They cause. The secret service also didn't know that he stole he had stolen the how to guide for nukes in a threat threat. I just in the whole thing has prepared it's prepared remarks by the way I watched at odds it's this is a whole should be even Steven miller thing and in the Clinton sucks thing was a Clinton put all of his or his his tapes for his taylor branch conversations who's a civil rights historian. They have, he wrote a book about bill Clinton. He Clinton had those tapes in his sock drawer and a court ruled that he could keep them because they were personal and didn't have the do with his presidency under the sandy burger piece of this year, the already narrow guy vondra, I think, trumpet sort of mixing mixing those together hey burdened with a clean? I sought drawer, not facade, of sandy burger socks, yet it only broader put things in his ox and that was fucked. You never really got to the bottom of it at the end, some trouble.

So the near times has a new reporting about her trump apparently tried to make a deal with the national archives over the stolen documents. The deal was he give back the government's most highly classified secrets in exchange for documents related to the russia investigation. That trump believed would exonerate him. So me, what's your ticket? story. If you think it helps explain why he took the documents in the first place. No, I mean I thinks everything is leveraged to this guy right, whether its military aid ukraine, in these documents, it's all leverage rim. There has been a lot of we're talk by former aids like hack idiots like cash patel was at the rally, I believe in nevada, about the efforts to classify the russian best and documents in the final days of the administration and how mad all these serve national security. Muggah goons word that it didn't happen. I dont know how that folds

in here. Necessarily I I I I don't think we can soon say, though, that explains kind of what he took, whether he was holding them purposely, because we also know that the stockpile in the basement included, like information about the president of France an old kim jong and letters others. Clearly some when these enthusiasm, you know some stray dogs can it. So that's our very that's out at the time is being very sophisticated import, points. If someone steals your car from in front of your house and then says, I have an offer for you I'll give you your car back for your other car thought a negotiation of men Documents belong to him, there's nothing to trade. these are all stolen documents and he's still he's also continuing to say that they took documents that were his, but there were also planted. They plan to documents and they took his documents, neither of which is true. He said they're mine there, not yours. These are government with the kurds, their guns, the kurds and he's also saying I.

Do this just like us other backs president's, did do what I'm saying I didn't do like they? They all took their documents, they all took their nuclear secrets, but their build a bomb thing. Why should and they didn't get investigated? Why should I get investigating Adela herschel walker at in pay for an abortion? But if I did it wouldn't be a problem- and I was already given grace by god for doing so, but it's good, is zeroing in on this in the final weeks. The campaign, though, even though moral ago is now part of trump stump speech. Everywhere, as both rallies this weekend. He was talking all about it, political form, out of nearly six thousand campaign adds that have run since the f b. I read fewer than twenty. In morocco or the justice department love it? You think that is while a couple couple points one. I think it is

I really, like you know in the in the immediate aftermath of the raid. There are a lot of republicans and and pundits saying this is going to energize republicans. This is going to be their closing issue. That's clearly not the case. They don't view this as like a big galvanizing. You- and I think the same is true for democrats in part, because dom trumpets and on any ballots what it is is an issue that has been to raise money, republicans are using it. Fur for fund raising and Democrats are using it for fund raising, and there is one exception to the no mention of of marilla go lago and deo J investigations, which is that when you money against an actual insurrectionists. Some of the d o j investigations of insurrection are coming up in adds, but otherwise I think it is been more about you know small place to fund raised and actually appeal to any kind of broad brought group of others Yeah me, I think, of your john fishermen, you probably better off

in the money on fire cause at least thou generate light and heat. Then putting up t v ads about this issue because no one gives a fuck yeah. It's just a it's also eat attacking attacking republican for defending trumps criminality is. Do it just like too much of it, shot right, lay about abortion rights, its economic issues, its also not surprising at this point to people that sort of baked in people think he's p you think he's a cracker. They love em and unlike loved, said he's not on the ballot either way certain republican. defending extreme positions at other republican, have taken up much more relevant, important issues every single day, yeah right right wealth, so as ways, republican politicians are also focusing on crime and immigration, the final weeks of the campaign and, of course, in the trump error there doing the most racist way possible, for some reason, alabama centre, tommy, tub urville, was at the nevada rally in georgia representative march. taylor, green, was at the arizona, really is funny that they're just bring in all these mega goons all around

contrary to some areas where they have no connection the travelling circus. Yeah like that, usually when they go away you it's when you weigh with will they dont want american idol. Together, it's mine, for us just cynically. So here's some of what these to set at the rallies people say, while their soft don't grab another, not soft on crime, their programme, they wore crap, they won't because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want, operation, because I think the people that, due to graham r o that bullshit Joe Biden, five million illegal aliens, are on the verge of replacing you replacing your jobs and replacing your kids in school and coming from all over the world. There are also replacing your culture and that's not great for america, not subtle, not settle. This is obviously too

sting, but do you guys think, like being this blunt, is effective outside the maghreb base and should democratic candidates be calling it up? Yes, I think I think they should call it out I dont know how effective it I have a feeling, its surprisingly and sadly effective or maybe not surprising, effective, with the base. Beyond that, I think it some. You know I feel, like the phrase they're saying the quiet part out loud, a sort of been been over used in kind of turned into a cliche would have, but in this case It's true and I think it's valuable because it exposes the whole game yeah. This is not set. This is them saying things explicitly, but this is the message of the entire republican party in the closing it's race, not saying it explicitly, but they certainly want people to think this. They want this to be the implication they want this to be. The subject if everything there talking about on crime and immigration, and I think pointing out when it is this explicit when it is directly raises. I think it is valuable, say, look see. This is what we are trying to do it or have answers

inflation. They don't have answers on health care costs. They don't have answers on housing costs and the answers to any of the problems facing real people and any ended answers, they do offer will make matters worse. They know that they have a problem, We think the radical that people think their extreme, so their goal was to make you more afraid of crime to make you more afraid. Immigrants and you are of their extreme positions of their positions on abortion to make more salient crime and immigration. Then you know health care, education and abortion mean empty g wretches, immediate, who has never met conspiracy, She won't repeat: tommy tougher is a racist idiot who built his car, we're on the backs of black athletes, and it is really despicable and discipline, in an. We asked dumb centre warnock about these comments and eat enough.

you're. Here later in the interview buddy, you could tell he was genuinely hurt. You know like you. Could there is a real like a pain and then answer of like someone he'd worked with, they worked like look we're doing research before the new york. They work together on some provision to help he not farmers. Literally in georgia, like your classic senate thing and the esa go here. His colleagues say something. this vile, so I think, like I dont, think Democrats should shy away from responding in calling out these comments for what they are, which are overtly racist and disgusting, that But I do think these these will rally the snares owner and about a buff buff. So, like I don't know candidates. There should pivot their message to take on tommy tankerville or to take on empty because they are not running for election, and I think we learn to twenty sixteen that sometimes voters even more of color, are less motivated by pointing racism than by talking about what you're gonna do for them in this.

Also mean you're sort of on the crime and immigration ah footing for your messaging, rather than talking about whatever your gameplan is. So I would say, if asked pam, are these people for what they are and what they said, but don't necessarily switch up your gameplan yeah. I do. I think that these two examples are just so obviously racist, right like it's it's it. We do know republicans of use dog whistles for decades now, and I think it's one thing to say: the crime is a issue and to start talking about crimes he bring race into. It may make people think about race, or you need sayer immigration meeting the border and all this kind of stuff, and it's all these dog whistles stuff like that. Now we're so far past that now just I like the idea that black people are criminals and immigrants are coming here to replace, People are two ideas that are not only vile but, like just

deal very unpopular weight to popular for sure with a small percentage of this country, but still not dilma. I mean like that is its a crazy. Thank you just described fox news is programming at night like fiddle sixty days before election. I am not even being sarcastic, not even a joke, and it would be great if the media held candidates, especially united states, senator to a different standard impressed all of them on tommy t's comments and wives. Had a shitty shitty person, but I've done a lot of faith it'll happen because you know talkers Were there do to our interview with congo, where, like you know, there were there not talking about his anti semitic comments from over the weak, or you now they're, just letting him sort of spout off about all kinds of other nutty conspiracy to yeah, I think I think that masters lake

wax. All lombardo should just all be ass if they stand by what was said at their rallies and it, but I do want the americans and about immigrants- and I do think it's. It is valuable to call this out now, because your pivoting to talk about this, but because you're, using this as a validation, Something Democrats have been saying for a long time and a lot of up liberals saying for a long time that look like this is a dog whistle these. This John crime, his message, immigration, they are, they are making a coded. I had sometimes barely who now not coded races argument and that at that, that is, that is much more difficult to to debate. Have you see a clip like this? this is just a less subtle version of the thing that Tucker says every single night every day yet cause the problem with the douglas dog with remarks is not everyone. Here's the dog, whistle. That's the whole thing this when everyone can hear me out so another word: in common with the railways came from nevada secretary of state candidate Jim are shot. Who has ties to the cuban on cult

organize: an entire slate of mega secretary of state candidates willing to overturn the election, but listen president. prompt. I lost an election at twenty twenty, because, if a rigged elections and what our coalition of secretary of state, canada's around the country get elected, we're gonna fix it whole country president there's, gonna, be president again: twenty twenty four march on an mark: finches who's, the magazine secretary of state candy, there arizona only or both leading their democratic opponents in the polls, tommy. What if they win, and what can we do to stop that from happening? Yemen? these, too, are very bad news mean just you. You had some of the highlights, but I know she went on loving, oath keeper, see my very bad about vision that is, wants decertify the twenty two elections victim as all oh spent almost no money but is winning because of the national had headwinds Jim are

It is also an election denier who says trump won nevada and that he wouldn't have certified the election results in two thousand and twenty also wants to end early voting and vote by mail. So these guys could completely radically change the way voting happens in those states and imperiled the ability for us to have fair elections in the future. So it's a big big deal and in both cases the republicans are winning just be as no one is paying attention to the race. They're not focused on down ballot races. So it's very important for us to in gear. Here yeah I mean it. Is it's terrifying to think that the top elections official in both arizona and nevada, two very competitive states could be people who could either refused to certify the election or could fuck up? count in a myriad number of ways, not least of which is sort of.

washing early voting in and mail in voting in august of that, you mentioned, but also just that that person is in control of the count of the vote count and they can make all sorts of mischief outweigh its pretty. It's really scary love it, what are you wearing anything about these wackos? I love that I think is fantastic, that there are really coming before doing things up. No, I look at you know stepping back it is, I think. Sometimes you know, why is a person like this close? How is a close and the reason is closest because something we complain about all the time. It is why we're all frustrated as news consumers is why we started Doing this show that, like they're, just very few very few media outlets is very little. Local journalism does very little national journalism that clear and reliably inconsistently showing people the stakes in this election If you are in nevada, there is very little information that is helping you understand. Just to these people are

there's a lot of misinformation from dark money from propaganda from fox news from facebook that is trying to mislead and distract you from what's at stake, and so what do we do to fill in that gap? Well, the only way people are going to get accurate information or really come to understand. The stakes is through politics, through campaigning through people knocking on doors to people calling them on the phone and so like the the the the harder it is for people to get information through just basic basic reporting, the more it is incumbent on people to sign up and volunteer and be the person that brings that information directly to voters, because of where the only stopgap, because this shouldn't be close, this shouldn't be hard. Nobody knows if, if, if people had accurate information, if people understood what was at stake, it wouldn't be close. Yeah, there's some good candidates running against these psychopaths. Adrian photos, cisco Aguilar they're both down between sort of like three

at eight percent. But again no one pays attention. These races till the very end, so they spent way more money than their republican opponents, but not that much. Yet. If you go to votive america, dotcom crash of a fund for secretaries of state and attorney generals in key states, you can do to it. So we just hit our three north island got it. So I summoned very smart jacked up to three fifty while we weren't looking but anger stretch goal. That's great know that, as a very very important and we loved to your point, media matters I wrote a piece about this, like not one. Local nevada tv station included martians comments in their coverage of the rally and just about most of the outlets. The the the newspaper outlets didn't either so like. We cannot complain like. Why would these voters vote someone like that. What's wrong with them, don't they re twitter like we do and see how crazy like? No, they don't. They watched their local news and read the newspapers and it's not fucking in their. So that's why they don't that's why it's important

Let's talk about dank Brandon boy. rigour fulfilling his campaign, promise to pardon everyone convicted of possessing marijuana under federal law, since it became a crime. Early seventys. The president also asked the attorney general. review whether marijuana should still be in the same legal category as drugs like heroin and lsd. how big a deal of this and who will help it's a huge deal. It's a massive deal for inform us. It helps a lot of people that have this this criminal record possessing marijuana that makes it hard for them to get a job. It makes them hard for them

live a normal life and get past which ultimately likud, unjust and unfair conviction and then rescheduling this would like transform drug policy in this country. I do think that, like there has been something really ugly and feckless even in the last few years. There is in this this us there's been this way. Talking about marijuana, if it's already legal, like oh you know, we left it up to the state legal here, legal there. No, it has never been legal. It has been a serious federal crime even some their summer, instead of kind of that had been willing to praise by them for doing this, but some of but some others that have in part of the reason they haven't is they're kind of playing a similar. came to tougher bill, which is saying it's already legal for you. This is just something that's illegal for poor people and black people and people that get caught up in the legal systems. Oh, you know it is eight. It's it's! It's transformative what what? What? What do we know about the?

politics of marijuana, legalization, tommy legalization in in. Would you make this part of your closing message? If you were a democratic canada? I would I mean it's wildly popular sixty. One percent of voters approve the decision to pardon people convicted of possession in sixty eight percent support legislation. We're legalization, sorry and lovett said earlier. Nineteen states have legalized small quantities of weed, so I think the politics are in her favor. It's worth pointing out that trump at the same rallies were just talking about is now calling for the death penalty for drug dealers. I dunno that he specified what drug but, like the republican message, is going hardcore in the other direction. He's he's emulating like the philippines yeah in other countries, and I you know the the interesting thing about this decision. I mean look, you you can pardon people convicted of possession federal law. You can urge states to follow suit. Your most democratic governors are the ones who are likely to do so, but, ironically, reviewing how marijuana scheduled under federal law, could actually forced the industry to be more responsible because if they

regulated by the FDA, they would have to actually think about and be honest about their advertising and then also liquor mean there is one of like than there are one or two people smoke casually and in theirs. Edibles is often in there's like the ninety percent pure stuff, that, as a whole different How came then, what we all came up on You know, and so weak for years, a little more common sense regulation around the range of of products. being sold to people like us, but also young kids. I think, would be a very good thing. I think it's a very simple message to write, like republicans, want to throw you in jail for smoking. We Democrats down it, doesn't get meeting then get much easier than that. Republicans, like you know, they think anyone should be able to get naked forty seven, but they want you to go to Well, us must ensure that the money, the roots of policies, are richard Nixon, trying to lock up black people and anti war activists. They they set it on the record, so it all out

history of these idiotic drug pals and John. I don't think lsd should be schedule on either by the way, I think lsc absolutely should be reviewed. The way it's scheduled because there there was tons of research. I mean we all watch the same michael pollen documentary, I'm sure netflix but like there was a ton of research before the panic over. You know people's kids becoming hippies in the sixties, about the additional benefits of some of these drugs in their doing studies and tests. And then, when you schedule one in order to do that anymore, have via have a silicon valley, is micro, dosing, mushrooms and Alice D, and look out They are for everybody, but look at all that they're doing song it has under the ads.

Look, you can have your disappointments with

like Joe mansion and cares and cinema for not like letting us do a bigger if you now fuckin reconciliation package and not getting rid of the filibuster for sure, but Joe Biden has now shepherded through all the legislation he could possibly get through this congress and now used a ton of executive power to get a lot of other things done that he can get through in congress. it's pretty a pretty good track record yeah and it does seem like they are clearly waited to do some of these big executive actions into closer election in the hopes that people would notice them learn about the and remember them yeah, that's a cynical memories are about it's not that sell.

Is the democratic senator from Georgia he's running to keep his seat in one of the closest and most important, mid term races. Election season, senator rapid warnock. Thank you for four join us in the pot. Thank you. So much is great to be here. So what letters jump into that the latest news in the race. There have been several reports that europe honan herschel walker paid for an extra friends, abortion and then urged her to terminate a second pregnancy a couple years later. Several, that would have now seen a czech written to this woman by herschel walker. There was a get well card in his hand. Writing herschel walkers own son seem to confirm this story, yet herschel walker,

is still denying it. My question do you believe him and if not what is it say about his candidacy that he would lie about some like this one. I will leave it up to the people of georgia to decide whether they believe him. Here's what I leave? I believe in a woman's right to choose- and I have inconsistent on this point, my view has not changed. I have often said that I think that a patient room is too small and two crammed with a space where woman adapt her doktor and the government as too many people in the room, the women of this country and women of georgia woke up one summer morning and saw that core constitutional protection and able to count on for half a century had been completely undermine by an act of the supreme court and My opponent thinks that apparently ass not far enough, and so he wants.

a nation wide ban on abortion, no exceptions, no exceptions. He says Which would include right answer the life of the matter. I think that Stream is out of touch with the women of georgia and I think the people of georgia. Deserve some one in the senate. believes that when it comes to reproductive health care, women. A doctors are wiser and far more principled than politicians You mentioned that they want a ban than hers. Walker proposes a ban with no exceptions. He seems to think there's an exception for when the situation involves herschel walker, like do do you It's fair that republican politician seem okay with abortions when they involve republican politicians, but want to ban them for every one else. I think that my view has been consistent.

and I believe in reproductive choice and you I sometimes get pushed back on this point as a person of faith. I think the issue when it comes to partly squares was choices. If you really are someone who reverences life- and I certainly do. It seems to me that you should be deeply offended by the high rates of infant mortality and maternal mortality in this country, We have the dubious distinction in america far outstripping our western and wealthy counterparts when it comes to maternal mortality too many women in georgia are dying in a rich country trying to have babies and for black women. It's three to four times the rate of whites and even when I had the insurance and com. and so I think that something a government can actually do something about.

It is something that I have worked on throughout my career way before I came to the Senate little little change. theater. So you know you're, as you mentioned earlier, you're a pastor that involves finding no grace in challenging moments, light and in darkness. Is that what prepared you to work with ted cruz? listen up. The thing about building a pastor, as you point out, is that we have to receive and were glad to receive comes through the door and it is never too late to git religion. If you will and so take crews, and I on the commerce committee. We all agree on much in fact out I'll admit that most days, I'm sitting there in committee. Listening to him.

I'm wondering to myself. Man is that which you can't get to do as I got arrested this morning, but did you put out a tie to do that one day one day he had something he wanted to get done. That made sense to me. He wanted to have interstate fourteen mean to pry court or The role that he wants to see really built out as an interstate is, is an interesting one. Stop at the text border would run through georgia, and it would revitalize parts of of our state. And now so I joined with tech, crews and a war, not cruz amendment as part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill to get back the amendment done, but I'm prepared the the the you know, the stand where I stand and take on the issues that I take on and back contrast to him the very next day I'll do I'll work with member. I can work It's while I can work with them. If it'll help me do some good work for georgia,

that's great soaring when, when this is all over knew when the race, he can hardly tell you some spots in cancun. To get some iron aria took great break so that, as a good thing to do now, You know he had both. He don't use it much better. Name is also rapidly so that at all it threatened betray you know, may we formed around the coffers and get some of the things that perfect while perfect. I want to ask about one of your other senate colleagues, tommy top of who I know you, you know you work with his well, he said over weekend that that Democrats want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed, that into blasi p called the remarks flat out racist was your reaction is deeply disappointing. And I think he is one more example of the ways in which up. We are in the moment where

here, the those in office who were trying to appeal to the workers Dennis what political gain and not only This rhetoric and appropriate, quite frankly, is dangerous. And down. Should apologise, make amends for that kind of a rhetoric. Look I've spent my whole career trying to bring people together, Grab unease about was church reminded the king, jr preached and part of that tradition is that big the king found ways to as he challenged people to to try to convert his adversaries. If you will, and sole. George said, a passage to the senate and

they used to call job louis math revision or that the conscience of the set the conscience of the congo's. What I've been in the Senate now for about twenty two months, and I that is the congress on outside these a conscience. The senator the souls and so I will continue to try to speak to the best in us, embodied in an american continent. It almost all about many one that that is done Refreshing to here- and I think we all miss- that old playbook of people trying to work together and forces that there's some candidates this goal, including herschel walker Following the trump playbook in so many ways, including his relationship with the truth, and the reality he knows a lot about, as I can Iraq already lied about his business record, lied about being a cop. That was a weird one lied about paying for an abortion I could go on, but despite that, the race is still

Laos and my question is: there is annoying narrative in twenty? Sixteen when trump lied, enlightened lied, so got elected and peoples. to think I may be lying in truth and these skin It don't matter anymore. Do you think that your election can help us re that theory or you hearing from people that are concerned about these lies. Look, there's no question at my opponent has a problem with the true and do These relations are close and many of the false for watching us probably feel like it shouldn't be closed, but I think it's a reflection aware. We are politically and tree- and here is a chance for us- the try speak to the highs and best in us. and the reason why we need all hands on deck right now,

georgia did an amazing thing. It says its first african american at its first, you decided to the senate in one fell swoop, made a difference if it at me and my brother from another mother, like the college on us off it, not got an elected. I we wouldn't have had the majority in the senate, which means we wouldn't have confirmed tansy brown jackson, the first black woman to the supreme court. We women pastor such important legislation this those congress, but what I recall is that it took all hands on deck

it took a lot of hands, and so I would appeal to the false were watching those right now. Don't sleep through this election I'll, take it for granted. Don't look at the obvious difference between me and my opponent and assume that we have it in a bag week. We need you to knock on doors. We need folks to give go to my website, worn out for georgia that calm and we need the folks were watching me right now from georgia to start voting on october. Seventeen, we often talk about election day. I've been telephones, folks, there's no such thing as election day as election season. We cannot wait until november that, if anything can happen election? They may rain, and I can tell you that that does it back turnout and on election day we know from from the past. Then last tend to be very long, not in all communities, answering communities

So we need people to turn out on october, seventeenth through November fourth all hands on deck. The soul of our country is on the line. I sat down with a focus group of young black voters in atlanta back in august, And most of them described themselves is moderate, they were not fans of her walker, not friends, of brain camp, but I was struck by how disappointed they were in our political system, especially We're talking about race and one young man said this might sound a bit radical, but for black people to get what we truly want. I don't think there's altering of the system we're going to have to tear the system down and that view sort of reflected in the group. And what do you say to voters who might be feeling that level of frustration right now? Look I feel frustrated. Some

times myself and that's when you know you're doing important work. If it were easy, it would have been done a long time ago and do you know when I would get discouraged? I think about somebody like John Lewis, who for me is not just the historic figure out was his pastor. Although many decades ago, when I was a college student and I'll, tell you what I was thinking the night I was preparing to fishing his funeral the next morning. Was looking at that old, classic footage of John louisen, jose Williams crossing the evident tat. His bridge wherein all strange codes each with a backpack on, and I ask myself what was louis thank it net days they crossed a bridge with police offers and billy cloud. You talk about brute force, an recalcitrance to change and inclusion. I mean that

by men of it, and yet he kept marching across the bridge. I'll tell you, I don't know he's thinking but I'll, tell you what he was not thinking you now thinking that he would one day be remembered as a hero. That's three presidents from both parties show up at his funeral that he'd be the recipient of a presidential medal of freedom. He couldn't have predicted that and quite frankly, to John lewis that I didn't care about any of that I think he was just trying to stay alive to fight the next day and yet, by some stroke of faith and human resilience, he bent the arc a little bit. Closer towards justice and as the nature of our historical arc, the country, our democracy, this grand experiment in self government

inclusion. These are the ideals, these jeffersonian ideals that are talked about by forefathers who who fell short, who did not live up to the ideals but put it on paper that that work moves forward in fits and starts. Sometimes a democracy expands. Sometimes it contracts would even contractions painful contractions open up the possibility to new born. There is no new without contractions, and so I would. I would encourage us to find a way to channel our frustration into what that became called the fierce presidency of now and keep fighting. it's a beautiful place to close down a ruin it with a quick follow up, which is to say what is it like to have two to preach in front of jean louis one of the greatest americans, maybe who has ever lived and you're supposed to tell him what to do think or preach to him. How does that work

well, you know John Lewis himself thought at one point that he would be a preacher. He often would tell the story how, as a farm boy, he started preaching to the chickens and pray and one and one day he gave what we call him and and my baptist tradition a trials tournament, which means you believe you been called, but the community needs to affirm it, but instead of preaching sermons, he became one and all of us about it because of it and so yeah it it is. It was quite an experience to preach, with the likes of John Lewis, sitting in my congregation and christine king Farris, the only living sibling of martin luther king junior, who is still at my church, she's ninety five years old and when I tried to do is embody the ceremony, even when the ceremony falls short- and I hope all of us will do that in this moment,

There is a way in which what we do. What each of us does right now is the message sent a message to the future and I hope you will think about what we want is a message to say farewell, and I thank you for your inspiring words and thank you for spending some time with us at good luck out there in the campaign to govern the thank everyone sign up, knocked oars volunteer, donate Thanks assented warnock for joining us today.
