a focal sight ration estate, greer was determined to stop black georgians growing political power. quote, if you want to establish if i was racially prejudiced, i was. if you want to establish that some of my political activity was racially motivated, it was. quiver would say in a deposition years later. in 1963, one year after the supreme court struck down the counter unit system, gruver now back in office, proposed a new election system. the runoff. hoover explicitly talked about how even if the white votes were divided in the first election and a black bag the runoff, whites could come together as a majority to win in the runoff. in 1960, for the runoff system became law in georgia. no blacks had been elected to the senior offices in georgia, meaning governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, ever. so apparently it worked.
Jim and bianna, people running to be held of elections, they re out there essentially threatening election workers, volunteers with prison and buying into this big lie. it s quite a stark prospect. threatening our next guest as well. donie o sullivan, thanks so much. i m joined by the current arizona secretary of state katie hobbs. thanks for taking the time this morning. thanks for having me. i want to get to the threat because you re included in lake s threat in terms of imprisonment if she were to be elected. what you have here, you have election deniers, supporters and spreaders of the big lie running for most senior offices in the state, for governor, for secretary of state, someone who has enormous power over elections. what does that choice then mean for state of arizona? if they win these elections, can arizona have a fair election?
Term. as someone who studied the ideology of isis, what s your take on that? well, i come from an academic angle, used to talking about islamism as a political movement, and we talk about militant islamism. if you want to be more specific about these guys, they are jihadis, adherence to an ultra conservative form of sunni islam. i understand the politics and makes for good talking points, but it does not provide a lot of analytical clarity. one of the striking parts of the book is just learning how baghdadi in an american prison in iraq, cross pollinated with senior offices of saddam s military and isis forced this ghastly alliance between this very violent extreme version of islamism and the kind of bureaucratic know-how of the vestiges of the saddam state. that s right. it was a nasty stew that we were brewing and we didn t even know
A muslim should be president of the united states. you think there s going to be blowback there? that was frankly stunning. when you go back and watch the interview, ben carson said that unprompted. he didn t say do you think a muslim should be president? he sid that on his own. that was just startling. i think that ben carson s candidacy was always a little bit of a boomlet. i think he has the same problem that trump has in that he doesn t look serious enough to be a president. and, yeah, if you go back to the facts, to the history of our nation with the exception of the founding fathers this country has only elected victorious military jrgenerals or people w have served in senior offices. history is useful until it s wrong. that s a good indicator of where americans minds are and they aren t the type of people to take a gamble on somebody who looks unserious. jeremy, i m looking at this
