douglass plan that he put out. he s got a concrete plan to make african-americans lives better, to address systemic racism in our communities and our cities. to address economic empowerment, not just a government program but to make sure they become entrepreneurs and let their kids and families succeed and live the american dream. that s the authentic leadership people are saying with mayor pete and that s why he s the one with momentum going into tonight. you got into politics, state of pennsylvania. pennsylvania perhaps one of the three most important states in the 2020 race, given that it was one of the reasons why president trump got into the white house. how did trump win pennsylvania in your opinion, and how does how does whether it s buttigieg as the nominee or the next democratic nominee beat him next time? you have to be fearless. you can t just throw jabs back, verbal jabs back. you have to get out in front of
raised. let me tell you something, if you want to change washington, you have to change who you re sending to washington. when we re watching the debate tonight, and we all love politics and want the best democratic nominee to take back the white house. tonight when we go to bed there s 190,000 troops that are deployed overseas on our behalf. only one candidate in this race, mayor pete buttigieg is one that a decade ago was leading those men and women in afghanistan and actually called for a plan to bring him home for a national call for service, to make sure we repeal the aumf, to repeal and replace it because we can t have these endless wars going right now. that s the momentum with over 400,000 folks getting behind mayor pete today. in a recent poll, mayor pete had 0% support of african-americans. obviously you can t win a democratic nomination without a significant chunk of african-american support. the last debate happened just
the 14th amendment section 2 that you just read talks about and further clarifies that that citizens of the several states. so we look at this mandate that is given to the federal government. but, importantly here, pete, the constitution does not tell specifically to the states or to the federal government how exactly the process happens to count the people in the states. and so that s left up to the political branches. pete: why does the supreme court step. in if there is rationale. why are they stepping in and creating confusion here? it s a ridiculous act of political activism. the constitution clearly leaves the process up to congress which will will since 1790 implemented carry out the census. other executive orders. and the executive branch is required to conduct the census and count the people so we can participate in the franchise and have elections.
