00:00But as we all here know, the Constitution will not defend itself.
00:06And while many of us have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, what is of equal
00:14importance is the action we take to defend the Constitution of the United States.
00:25And what do you say to a room full of lawyers and advocates who are going to have to figure
00:31out what comes next?
00:33Okay, being very candid.
00:35Please.
00:36This was supposed to happen in June.
00:43That honestly is the first thing I said when I found out.
00:47If you are one of the 60-plus million women in America who changed your name when you
00:54were married, you are going to find it much more difficult to prove your identity when
01:00your birth certificate doesn't match your driver's license and have to go through the bureaucracy
01:05of that, obviously trying to make it more difficult for people to vote.
01:09The man comes down with an executive order around voting by mail.
01:13By the way, who votes at his spa at Mar-a-Lago consistently?
01:19And then there was the issue that I would discuss in each one of these events about Section 2
01:24of the Voting Rights Act.
01:25No, they have had an agenda that has been in place for decades to get to this very moment
01:33and beyond, which is to make it so difficult for the people to vote that they won't, because
01:41they know the people are not stupid, and see the corrupt, incompetent, callous administration
01:49that is in the White House right now.
01:56And they're so damn scared, they're so damn scared of losing the midterms.
02:01But one has to ask, why did they do it this quickly?
02:04And I will tell you, my suspicion is they wanted to give Mississippi and Florida and all the
02:12other states that have already started talking about what they're going to do enough time
02:15to print up their maps and print up those ballots to impact the midterms.
02:22In politics, you know, we've dropped the ball in a variety of ways, although we've done good work also.
02:31But we took our eye off the states.
02:37The lawyers didn't, but the electeds, especially in my party, some did.
02:45Meanwhile, this agenda has been decades in the making of building up these states
02:53around gerrymandering, so that as soon as you could then get the Supreme Court that was their fever dream,
02:59then have the Supreme Court, after all that they did to build up this case,
03:05toss it back to the states, and the states are now strong enough to catch the ball and run with
03:09it.
03:09This is how they play.
03:11They are strategic, they think long-term, and they are ruthless.
03:17And part of what I am saying tonight, and if there is press in the room, I don't care if
03:22you quote me,
03:22we have to be ruthless, too.
03:27Well said, well said.
03:29Thanks.
03:29We got back to the taillons.
03:30You
