00:00The President of the United States, the current President of the United States,
00:04called the Senate race in Georgia, this Senate race in Georgia, illegitimate, he called it illegal
00:14and invalid. And then let's just fast forward to most recent history, which is yesterday.
00:22Have you all heard about that recorded conversation?
00:30Well, it was yes, certainly the voice of desperation.
00:35Most certainly that. And it was a bald,
00:40bald faced, bold abuse of power by the President of the United States.
01:00Look at that in the context of the history of the state of Georgia.
01:05Look at it in the context of the years where folks were deprived of the right to vote,
01:12who were deprived of full status of citizenship. Look at it in the history of Georgia,
01:21where one of the greatest American heroes, who is now one of the greatest of our ancestors,
01:26John Lewis, shed his blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, a great Georgian,
01:34for the right to vote. And he had to shed his blood because the forces were so powerful and violent
01:46in trying to deny people the rights of full citizenship, the right to vote.
01:52The President of the United States, the current President of the United States,
01:57called the Senate race in Georgia, this Senate race in Georgia, illegitimate,
02:06he called it illegal and invalid. Illegal and invalid, suggesting that the people of Georgia
02:17are trying to commit a crime. And I raise all this to remind us to ask a question always when
02:27we see these powerful people that are trying to make it difficult, trying to make it confusing,
02:37trying to invalidate our voice. Whenever we see this happen, I think it requires not only action,
02:44but it requires a question. Why are such powerful people trying to make it difficult for us to vote?
02:55And I think we know the answer. It's because they know our power.
03:00They know our power. They know when we vote, things change. They know when we vote, we win.
