the majority of people in ou country. not just in michigan and voters in michigan are really the heroes of our story they are the ones who ensure that not only we had these fundamental protections fo reproductive freedoms that our constitution, but also votin rights as well they have expanded our democracy to ensure we hav citizen led redistricting, and more ability to access the voting registered to acces voting as a result we see policie that reflect the majority will of the voters. we as their leaders as elected officials, our job is to stand by and protect and enhance and enable the voice of the people to be heard and to com fruition in policies throughou our state. and that again is a real contrast between what you ar seeing in michigan and i states that are advancing more restrictive policies that ar not favored by the majority of the people attorney general, we talked about everything that you have done up to this point, i wonde what do you feel still remains to be done, espec
all the incentives aligned for the worst behavior, which is why we see this downward spiral towards extremism against democracy and pushing forward bills that are deeply unpopular. that s another really important point here. paul show us that tennessee and support the very common sense reforms. those protesters and those legislators who were kicked out support. so much of this activity done by these right wing legislators legislate chores are done against the majority will of the citizens of their states. so these are institutions that are locked up and they re advancing an extreme agenda, ignoring the people. they re very states are in all of this happens once you have a world like the state houses become zero accountability because of districts these people that can t lose david how much of this has to do with local media and the fact that it is shrinking? on what s like a daily basis. my home state of alabama. the three major papers aren t publishing. this happened recently, in the
washington is going to fix this problem? you re wrong. they re not going to fix this problem. they are the problem. the laws don t work until people change their hearts were not going to see a change. what did you think? when you saw that? that we need to get these people out of office right now. we need to get out and voting and we need to run people against them. and on top of that, he there is a kernel of truth. and but he said, this is not going to change in congress in the first place. this is going to have to come from our state legislatures, young people, old people, people, all ages need to show up every single year. not just after a parkland not just after nashville or you baldy but show up before the next part center in nashville at your state legislature every single year and be just as angry as the gun extremists art that s the birth of majority will of the american people that say that we want our kids to be protected and safe at schools, because when we don t show up, tho
work to reflect the majority will, and that is a uniquely american president bush. problem. eugene robinson, we heard from a congressman on capitol hill, and we hear it after every shooting, what are you going to do? there are bad people who want to do bad things. you can t stop all the shootings. that can t be an acceptable answer. we can t say, sometimes a 9-year-old is going to go to their school in nashville and not come home because somebody charges into the school with an ar-15 and kills them inside their school. how do we break this conversation? how do we get through, that this can t be the way it is in america? willie, it is sickening. when you hear remarks like that, it makes me want to throw up. we re going in the wrong direction on guns in this country. and that s that s absolutely
allow 70% of americans to have their voice heard. i think it s pretty clear where certain candidates, almost all candidates stand on this, and it s a pretty dramatic difference. one opposed to all gun reform and the ones that want some gun reform. but our system is not allowing the majority will of the country to be imposed in our country at this point in time. the other part of this that worries me, and i was thinking as you were relating this, you know, probably the hardest working person in america today is the guy or gal that raises the flag at half-mast at the white house, because they have to keep raising and lowering the flag at half-mast, because every time we turn around, there s another mass shooting. i think that finally, we have to get to an emotional place and finally have to get to a place and ask what are the systemic
