believe. get your space helmets and stay for that. but first of all, there is a new poll that caught my attention. it claims that 58% of americans believe democracy is in danger of collapse. collapse! i can see why they might think that. i'm not talking about the media fuel that january 6 narrative or a band of goofballs broke windows of the capital. citizens obnoxious trance. trespassing's are not a threat to the democracy. otherwise the doj would have a task force tracking down the rioters as well. the real threat is the one the founders identified appeared to an tyrannical government that forces its will on citizens. regardless of what the constitution says. a good example is the biden administration's push to secure what it calls voting rights legislation. they are in mind the democrats have introduced versions of their election reform bills for years. they brought it to a vote around flag day they might have argued the bill has to be passed or you will never see old glory again. but with mlk day approaching, they made the bill about race. the president and his supporters quickly took up the refrain. >> you want to see the sign of dr. king or the sign of george wallace? >> if they want to go down in history standing on the side of segregationist and the individuals who oppose people who look like me having access to the ballots, we will remember them slouch. >> democracy in georgia >> raymond: i didn't understand land ownership and careers are being denied to people of georgia based on race. herschel walker might want to file a breaking report. bob woodson will react in moments, but here's the truth. democrats lack the vote for the federal election in their own caucus. the only way to pass it was to destroy the filibuster in the senate and shattered the checks and balances of a branch of government. senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema wisely were not willing to injure the country and their own parties prospects in the future to ensure passing of this one bill. rather than saluting them for standing on principle in the division, progressives are on the warpath. >> why do they call themselves democrats when they refused to do what the party leader wants them to do? >> i said you're going to be with me and get rid of the filibuster or i'm gassing up the jets on your behind and i will be in arizona and west virginia to let the american people who knows what standing in the way of my entire agenda. president biden, gas of the jets. >> raymond: okay. if you're advising joe biden mentioning the word gas given his undiplomatic flatulence in the u.k. last year, it might not be the best approach. gas up the jets. in the words of the secret service, he'd never find the jet. senators are not elected to rubber-stamp a president's wishes, but those of the constituents just so you know. even as the polls nosedive, it's clear president biden cares more about his progressive wing than the voters. he's hell-bent on jamming this voting rights bill through. the question is why? after a failed meeting with the democratic caucus, he finally admitted what this is really about. note the calm controlled clarity of the message. >> is this mike on? anyway. i'm not sure either. one thing for certain like every other major civil rights bill that came along, if we missed the first time, if we came back and try it a second time, who gets to count the votes, count the vote? account the vote! it's about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote! who counts the vote? who counts the vote? >> raymond: the president's right, this is not a voting rights bill at all. this is a loose election and accounting privileges bill. it's about rigging the game from one party, his. everyone has the right to vote today. but this federal takeover of elections would deprive the states of their constitutional authority to regulate elections. it also relaxes standards. the bill, in case you want to check up on it, requires not picture ids. if four states to offer no excuse mail in ballots prohibits states from requiring witnesses or notarization on mail-in ballots. it limits state's ability to purge their own voter rolls. getting rid of unqualified voters. these bills introduce exactly the election subversion mr. biden claims to hate. it destabilizes and dilutes the votes of every citizen -- citizen, no matter your race because it will be impossible to verify who is voting or even if they are alive. i'd call that a threat to democracy. and congress will be taking more of your money. the voting rights will implement public funding of congressional campaign. that's right. for every $1 that liz cheney or nancy pelosi raises and donations, they will get six of your dollars, $6. how does it help your voting rights? don't ask me. it's politicians helping themselves. then yesterday, the biden administration's draconian vaccine mandate for businesses was struck down. the supreme court ruled that the government had overreached its authority. no worries. joe biden has another plan. >> i don't like -- you know, to outline the next steps we're taking against -- i like to outline the next steps we're taking on the omicron variant. >> raymond: here's what he meant to say i think. >> it's up to save an individual employers to put in place vaccination requirements. businesses have taken the step nearly 40% and only 100% have vaccine requirements. >> raymond: translation, we will simply bully states and private companies into implementing our unconstitutional vaccine mandate. even though it has no impact on infection or transmission. now the biden administration is upping the ante. today we learned they have weaponized to the treasury department, threatening to pull millions of covid relief dollars from the state of arizona because the state forbids mask mandates and schools. we'll talk to the attorney general in arizona on the receiving end of this in moments. you can see the utter disregard for norms, the flagrant dismissal of the authority of congress, the supreme court, even the state. i thought respect for the other branches of government was at the center of american democracy. this mad power grab, we have an administration intent on stripping us of local power even over our elections. one that uses a virus to impose its will on all people and anyone who objects is subject to shunning, demonization, unemployment, and in some cases federal prosecution. being a good american is not doing as we are told by the federal government, and then being forced to fund our own subjugation. that's called autocracy. and might even call that the real threat to democracy. joining me now is bob woodson, civil rights activist, founder of the woodson center. i'm so delighted you joined us tonight. i want to play something for you. this is kamala harris today. watch. >> how can we talk to other countries about human rights? autocracies. if we in our own country see an erosion of rights that have been invested in the american people. >> raymond: issue really implying we are no better than china and cuba, because states have voter i.d. laws? >> absolutely. it's part of the whole process that progressives have hijacked to the rich legacy of the civil rights movement. really using it as a bludgeon against the country. as long as they can keep america in a constant state of agitation, anger, and resentment, they can easily control them. in other words, they're willing to sacrifice black bodies for black votes. even as they hijacked the civil rights movement, but what they are doing in new york for instance, they are tipping their hand. the mayor is now saying that 800,000 illegal immigrants now -- noncitizens should be allowed to vote. governor newsom is saying noncitizens, immigrants, also eligible for health care. also open borders undermining jobs and how are those three initiatives contributing to the social justice for black saying they are making these demands? the other point is voting rights, the biggest deterrent to voter suppression rather is apathy. in many other cities like washington, d.c., mayor elections and others, the turnout is under 6% in high crime areas. at the same is true with most places because they live in a banana republic. that's what they are turning to protect. >> raymond: i went to rule something for you. if you want biden to double down on the so-called voting reforms. watch. >> were concerned about voting and it's not the president's fault but as circumstance. 19 states changed voting laws while he was talking infrastructure. >> raymond: bob, is this really a major concern for black america? mail-in ballots and no i.d. checks? what about jobs and schools that their children can actually learn in person from? >> it's even worse than that. they are talking about voting rights is the most important issue the black america, that's not true. but every day, a child is shot in america. four times the number of those children are black. i know one woman who lost all four of her sons to homicide before the age of 30. that's the crisis facing low income black america. it's not voting rights. so many murderers are occurring in today's run by black politicians in the past 50 years. if racism where the sole culprit, then why are blacks failing in institutions run by their own people? why are they feeling in the political system where all the control is in the hands of black politicians? the way you can avoid having to address this dilemma, but what i called the enemy the within the black community is what we must address and concentrating on voting rights as a deflection away from that reality. it prevents us from coming up with solutions that the center has been promoting and will continue to promote. restoration from within the community suffering. if that's what we should be concentrating on. the one bob, you've done such incredible work and i think you for your clarity, ongoing witness, and you point out exactly what i was mentioning earlier. this disenfranchises everybody including black america. of bob woodson, think of her being here. i mentioned earlier, the biden administration is punishing the state of arizona for unmasking school children using the treasury department in an effort to strip the state of federal funds. here to respond is attorney general of arizona mark brnovich. mr. attorney general, thank you for being here. the treasuries threatening to recall $160 million of covid funds that they already allocated, unless you mask up schoolkids in arizona. how can they do this? >> well, raymond, they should not be able to do this and i fought the biden administration import so many times, we had a lawsuit about biden administration's attempt to impose conditions on covid relief dollars and from cutting the income taxes. if this is another attempt by the biden administration to impose the federal will on state. i know joe biden memory is bad but i assume he's around when the constitution was written and he should remember that the states created the federal government, the federal government didn't create the state. when congress passed the relief bill, they didn't impose conditions. he's the president, not a king. he started posing conditions of policies. >> raymond: we should remember, this is your money. this is my money that they threw out it's up to the states willy-nilly, not that they would add conditions to them. attach strings to limit a child's freedom in a school in arizona. the governments covid sparked mass fraud. michigan paid $8.5 billion in fraudulent jobless claims, and california's unemployment fraud hit $20 billion. the feds are coming after you, mr. attorney general? >> it's absolutely ridiculous and i would say one thing differ buddy watching tonight. let us never forget that any government whose big enough to get anything is big enough to take it away. in this country we have seen the biden administration progress the left and try to nationalize every think about whether it's socializing the economy, nationalizing the election, and trying to take control of the local schools. there is a fundamental question about why do we even have a federal deferment of education? why is the federal government dictating places like phoenix, arizona, or tucson that they have to teach critical race theory or have this policy or that policy. on the mentally, we have to get back to the notion that local issues should be left up to people in the states. it's not up to the federal governments to solve every one of the problems. we send tax dollars to washington, d.c., the federal government gets bigger and bigger. this is why they wanted the federal government to be limited. if that's what the constitution was designed to do because the framers understood government gets bigger, it becomes unresponsive, it becomes oppressive, and that's why you end up in situations where joe biden and aoc want to dictate our schools in arizona that they should teach this or that. they should have this kind of policy. it's fundamentally wrong. get back to the states looking for control. >> raymond: attorney general brnovich, it such a wise and important context because people lose sight of the message. when other municipalities and states across the country use this money which was relief money to pay off debts, help people with their runs, and now you all get penalized and targeted. it's outrageous. thank you very much attorney general brnovich. we will check and in the days ahead. the federal bullying does not stop there, and a federal agency has proposed creating -- listen to this -- a database containing the personal religious information of government employees seeking religious exemptions to biden's vaccine mandate. it gets worse. according to the heritage foundation, at least seven other federal agencies are setting up similar databases. joining me now is wesley jay smith, chair in senior fellow at the discovery institute center on human exceptionally shalom. you warrant how the databases will be maintained and in this case abused. what's your reaction? >> looks like joe biden's making a list and checking it twice. he'll find out whose religious and nice. it's really an obnoxious and outrageous and chilling free expression of our religion. the point of keeping the records is keep record of people seeking religious exception and perhaps punish those who do. >> raymond: they've been running down so many of the religious exemptions. in the military, there have been sent out to dismiss them. not granting religion exemptions right now and i imagine this will proliferate throughout other parts of the federal government. how do you see the information being used or possibly used down the line? >> it's seems to me that there is a great potential here that an employee of the federal government could think if i create -- ask for religious exemption, this could come to harm the leader in terms of my professional advancement. secondly, it seems to me that your violating people's privacy. it just seems part of a broader attack on religious freedom that we see coming from the secular level. >> raymond: i need to get your reaction to this. earlier this week, quebec's premier announced a new way to punish the unbacked. watched. >> we're looking at the contribution for adults accused to be vaccinated for nonmedical reasons. those who refuse to receive the first dose in the coming weeks will have to have a new health contribution. >> raymond: want a new health tax basically. how long before we see several policies crossing the border? >> i've seen discussion that if people do not get vaccinated, they should pay more or perhaps not even receive treatment. there was outrageous discussion of putting people at the back of the line in terms of receiving intensive care unit -- care if they refuse vaccination. you get the priority over somebody who has not received vaccination. the whole mandate issue and as you said in the opening segments, people who are vaccinated can still catch covid and spray to covid. i have friends and family were vaccinated that have covid and having to quarantine. the fact that we will punish people who are unvaccinated and turn them into so many lepers is truly an outrageous thing. if joe biden says he's a president uniter, he's actually tearing the country apart. >> raymond: we believe -- thank you for your insight. it nearly 300 scientists wrote a very angry letter calling on spotify to censor joe rogan sho. involving my next guest, dr. robert malone. he is here next on the new information overlords. stay there. ♪ ♪ welcome to silversneakers. are you ready to get moving?
