If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:33.120
It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:38.200
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:54.660
Remember the, and this is thanks to Speaker McCarthy,
00:01:04.600
over at the, in the new, you know, public theater there
00:01:17.400
So we really want to thank the leadership for making this happen.
00:01:26.800
which really set the stage for so much of the fights that we have.
00:01:33.900
And you look back at the small majority we got,
00:01:37.980
and this war room posse hadn't gotten to the ramparts.
00:01:40.000
You might have, still have a Democrat-controlled house.
00:01:49.860
But something's happened over the last couple of weeks
00:02:04.840
Right now, they're talking about closing the gap in the House
00:02:12.580
CNN's got a headline about Alabama's absolutely meltdown.
00:02:16.360
I want to start with this situation in Alabama.
00:02:20.140
And if Logan and the team in Memphis can get up
00:02:31.180
So we spoke about it on the war room first, actually,
00:02:35.220
But there was a map drawn by the state legislators
00:02:41.760
And the map doesn't move the numbers partisan-wise.
00:02:45.560
It does fulfill what the Supreme Court has said.
00:02:49.100
They end up moving some of the African-American population
00:02:53.180
They said they needed one majority African-American seat
00:03:06.780
and again, what we want are fair lines, fair lines.
00:03:22.220
We know the area better than Mark Elias' law firm
00:03:31.080
They want to blow the whole thing up, even Florida.
00:03:34.080
This Politico article that came out after the CNN article,
00:03:37.300
it walks through them openly discussing their strategy
00:03:57.900
The Supreme Court faces outright defiance from Alabama.
00:04:02.500
Explain what, when CNN's in this full meltdown,
00:04:15.940
and why it's in the purview of the folks in Alabama
00:04:25.920
We want fair districts, and what they want, Steve,
00:04:30.200
I mean, Alabama votes as a strong Republican seat,
00:04:35.400
They want to move from one Democrat seat to two,
00:04:59.480
And of course, they're using the Voting Rights Act,
00:05:01.680
which is something serious, and we all support that.
00:05:08.640
And that's why we believe this map, the new map,
00:05:13.900
and which we had a preview before the CNN meltdown,
00:05:28.420
the complete total meltdown that they're having.
00:05:31.900
It's like they're about to have Jefferson Davis
00:05:33.800
put his hand on the Bible down there in Montgomery.
00:06:01.000
what people are looking for are fair districts, correct?
00:06:15.640
they're changing definitions to the Supreme Court.
00:06:33.420
Now they're getting around the state constitutions
