00:00I can't fathom that people are letting lies lead them, and then I can't also see why people
00:06aren't using those same lies against the liars. We need to use all these things against them.
00:12We need to fact check. We need to present for every lie that's posted. We need to post the truth.
00:17And we got to get on our job. We're under 30 days away. It's unbelievable what's at stake.
00:22You won't have a democracy. You won't have a presidency. You won't have nothing in Georgia.
00:25Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourself. Today, the federal judge tried to overturn
00:30the abortion laws here in Georgia so that you could have freedoms and rights to your bodies,
00:36women. And I want to say that every race, I was about to say something crazy,
00:40but I know y'all getting on me because I was going toothless next and rural next.
00:44But y'all have everything to lose because the Supreme Court came in today and said no.
00:50And that's exactly why Donald Dump, I'm sorry, Trump put these people on this court.
00:57It's unbelievable. Y'all are accepting this. And you have to really, ladies and gentlemen,
01:01I don't know if you saw the insurrection on January 6th, but they bought that life.
01:06You need to be about that life too.
01:10That'll teach. I do want to say this though, when we talk about
01:15the lies, I don't think it's that people don't know that he's lying.
01:19I think it can go deeper than that because many have said they don't believe everything that he
01:25says, but it is what he represents to them. So I will take your lies and just whatever,
01:31but why is it, why so badly do some really want to see certain candidates in office?
01:37What is it that they're offering them? Is it the white supremacy tropes that they like?
01:42For others, it may be blackness. What is it? Because people will take a lie if it moves
01:48them closer to what needle that they want to get to. And for some, they think it may be moving them
01:53to whatever rationale that they have he's going to bring to them.
