Racial injustice. Here in Congress Democrats sought to turn anger and frustration and sometimes despair in ourl country. Real and meaningful action. Democrats wish to seize the moment in three weeks ago democrats announced to build and finally bring strong comprehensive and lasting change to Police Department across america. Injustice and policing act led by senators booker and harris. The house of representatives, will pass that bill this week. But here in the senate, we have a much different story. Senate republicans responded to our comprehensive legislation that proposes the belt that is so much weaker innd nearly every single count. And worse still, is completely silent on so many issues that screen out for action. Should Police Officers be held to greater accounts and they violated americans constitutional rights. The republican bill is silent. He should Police Departments continue to have easy access to military equipment and the republicans had silent spring should Police Depar
Insurrection clause which bars officers of the United States who stage Instructional Rebellion from serving again. Democratic congressman adam schiff this week. The 14th amendment section 3 is pretty clear, if you engage in rebellion against the government, or give pain and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running. Doesnt require you be convicted of insurrection. It just requires you have engaged in these acts. Its a disqualification from Holding Office again and fits donald trump to a t. Paul joining me is the former Attorney General of the United States, general casey. You wrote about the 14th amendment issue arguing there are problems with the argument one of which is the president may not be an officer under the definition of that amendment.

And it could result in lives lost unless we have enforceable rules and regulations that protect the traveling public, not just the folks who may be behind the wheel but also passengers in vehicles out on the roads today.

If i never saw my parents vote t, ite never talked about i is not important. But we are trying to do is reach out to first and second time voters by going out to come college campuses, speaking to stu
