express their ideas. at the end of the segments, we re going to do a fact-check. you are going to hear some factually inaccurate statements throughout. but they re very important so that you understand the state of democracy in america and how voters are perceiing the integrity of elections. let s go. since republicans use it as ammunition frequently, invoking that stacey abrams didn t concede, is that a problem, that she didn t concede in 2018? no. he didn t either. that s right. here we are, two years later. two years later. [ laughter ] not only that, it doesn t matter she didn t concede. no. she moved on. there s always irregularities, especially in the african-american community. you know, it took me seven hours to vote. i went in there. there were 24 machines. six of them were down. then i have a girlfriend who lives in buckhead, walked in and out. in and out. in and out.
georgia since she was in high school, i believe. you know yeah, this is really painful. the other elements of that, joe, i know you noted, not just fascist but also racist. he decided to, because she d said over the weekend that people shouldn t have to work the african-americans shouldn t have to work in agriculture and hospitality to have a job in georgia, and he said, you know he decided to attack her, saying, in some twisted sense of logic, that she was somehow demeaning her own race. the notion that david perdue should have anything to say to stacey abrams about how she decides to talk about her own race is, itself not even a dog whistle. it is a blaring air horn. look, joe, i think, you know, there s never things to say here. david perdue is about to be humiliated in this race, and so is donald trump. you know, we were having a debate on set. mika, do you think trump was in bed when he made that phone call or in the bathtub, which one? maybe in a chair, robe, gettin
the ukrainian war. translator: at first, they have to start reading some memoirs of the second world war. so what can i say to the people who think that this is just for europe, this is far away, this is not in our backyard? this is somewhere in the world. but the world is much smaller than we think. i think it is important for republicans and democrats who tend to agree with this, jonathan, that this is a fight for the safety of europe, ultimately the safety of the world, for democracy versus autocracy. it could get lost in translation and in the battles that americans are facing here between each other domestically. yeah. president zelenskyy actually flashed quite a bit of irritation at people who are making these arguments. i put to him, i haven t seen
he knew he got screwed. yeah. and and he sees the results and says, this doesn t make any sense. we have people that padded the boxes. i mean, it was a straight up, honest election, then he would have won. there was not a good enough check and balance. you vote, but like she said, is your vote going to count? is this a dead person s vote? who is this? there is no check and balance. so because if you try to check it, then you re anti whatever that person is. you re against the voter rights of other people. yeah. like the id requirement. stacey abrams is big on that. it s like, if you re doing an honest, true vote, why do you care if you show your id? you show it every place you go. airport, doctor, whatever. grocery store, buying a 6-pack of beer. everybody shows an id. to come here, we had to show an id. i don t understand that argument at all. let s separate some things. first of all, voter id, i think
that the far right wants to accomplish. that s what i was what will it mean, if and when it is overturned, and is this an issue that could galvanize voters on both sides of the aisle? yes, i think so. here s we always are running with kitchen table issues. right, and there s a lot of them now. how do people pay for food, for rent, for education, for prescription drugs and all of that? i hope we can talk about that. all of us but we also know that our democracy is at stake, what they re doing to voter suppression, in voter suppressing and also in the nullification of elections. but that doesn t really hit home as much as a kitchen table issue, the kitchen table issues do. a woman s decision is a kitchen table issue. it sure is. so they have now taken freedom, which is on the ballot,
