=== Unequal Representation in Congress (14:37) ===

[00:00:00]  We got a damn good show for y'all.
[00:00:02]  Actually, represents pretty accurately, mathematically, how the country is divided over the question of the presidency.
[00:00:08]  But if you look at this, this is what the party pickups would be for congressional districts.
[00:00:12]  Republicans, five.
[00:00:14]  Missouri, one.
[00:00:15]  North Carolina, one.
[00:00:16]  Ohio, two or three.
[00:00:18]  Indiana, one or two.
[00:00:19]  Florida, still discussion down there, but that could be another gold mine for them if they tipped it even further their way.
[00:00:24]  Kansas, one, New Hampshire, one, and Nebraska.
[00:00:28]  Democrats, Utah, California, Maryland.
[00:00:30]  Look at this.
[00:00:30]  If you offset California and Texas, Missouri and Utah, North Carolina and Maryland, everything left over is an advantage to the Republicans.
[00:00:41]  And don't forget, the Supreme Court is considering what could really be the end of the Voting Rights Act, which would protect minority groups.
[00:00:50]  So you don't have a state that's half black, for example, that elects only one congressional member and everybody else goes to the Republicans.
[00:00:58]  The hell is he talking about?
[00:00:59]  I don't know.
[00:00:59]  What state is half black?
[00:01:01]  We only make up 13% of the population in the country.
[00:01:05]  I don't know what he's talking about.
[00:01:06]  Well, he's saying Ann.
[00:01:08]  That would represent that population in some way.
[00:01:11]  So if that is gutted, Democrats could lose 19 seats.
[00:01:18]  That would be the end of the Democrat Party.
[00:01:20]  Yeah.
[00:01:21]  It would be a huge amount.
[00:01:22]  We do start at the Supreme Court in a monumental case that could transform federal elections for decades to come.
[00:01:29]  Arguments are about to wrap up in the case over Louisiana's congressional map and whether the state can draw that map in such a way to ensure that minority voters are fairly represented.
[00:01:41]  The two likely swing votes, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, appeared likely, just in the way they were talking and asking questions, to ban states from considering race when drawing district lines.
[00:01:55]  Listen to Justice Kavanaugh and he was questioning whether the country still needs that provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
[00:02:05]  This outdated issue, as you know, is that this court's cases in a variety of contexts have said that race-based remedies are permissible for a period of time, sometimes for a long period of time, decades in some cases, but that they should not be indefinite and should have an end point.
[00:02:30]  And what exactly do you think the end point should be or how would we know for the intentional use of race to create districts?
[00:02:40]  Now, this ruling has the potential to undermine, if not completely overturn, a core provision of the Voting Rights Act intended to ensure black voters have adequate representation.
[00:02:52]  They got too much representation.
[00:03:00]  Well, look at that people just represent this.
[00:03:04]  Look what black people voting into power.
[00:03:07]  Jasmine Crockett.
[00:03:08]  Al Green.
[00:03:09]  Al Green.
[00:03:10]  What's that lady in California?
[00:03:11]  James Brown.
[00:03:12]  Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:03:13]  People call her James Brown.
[00:03:15]  What's her name?
[00:03:15]  Maxine Waters.
[00:03:16]  Maxine, yeah.
[00:03:19]  They're horrible for black people in Louisiana specific.
[00:03:22]  There is the GOP drawn map, which has one majority black district.
[00:03:27]  Look at this.
[00:03:28]  That's how they drew this.
[00:03:30]  That is crazy.
[00:03:32]  That is crazy.
[00:03:33]  That is racist.
[00:03:34]  That is crazy.
[00:03:36]  If that was written to help white people, you would call it racist.
[00:03:39]  But black is okay.
[00:03:41]  That is black supremacy right there.
[00:03:44]  That's a crazy.
[00:03:45]  That is black supremacy right there.
[00:03:49]  That is nuts.
[00:03:50]  So they want to change it to this.
[00:03:53]  I say get rid of the rest of that blue.
[00:03:56]  And we don't need that.
[00:03:58]  White people represent us just fine.
[00:04:02]  Out of the six districts, it combines Baton Rouge and New Orleans into one, and that means that Shreveport would be a Republican seat.
[00:04:12]  The current map is what you see on the right.
[00:04:15]  There are two majority black districts out of six.
[00:04:18]  And what you also need to know is approximately one-third of the population of the state of Louisiana is black.
[00:04:25]  So I want to talk about this as you do so well.
[00:04:29]  Hey, everybody, before we get back to this video, don't forget we've got a new giveaway: Ford Wrapped up Bronco and 10,000 cash.
[00:04:36]  Get in the win, just go to officialhawstwins.com.
[00:04:38]  Anything you purchase, like my Mifflin Blue, that's in pill and drop form, get you automatically in a win.
[00:04:44]  Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to imagine where the court may end up here, which is sort of gutting these portion of the Voting Rights Act that would impact this kind of congressional district drawing.
[00:04:59]  You could, it is not unreasonable, Dana, to say that Republicans may be able, in the South where this has been applied, maybe gain 12 seats out of this whole region.
[00:05:13]  On that note, we have from the sources, the Fair Fight Action Black Voters Matter Fund, they think that Democrats could lose up to 19 seats.
[00:05:22]  I mean, there are projections that are that high.
[00:05:24]  So, what you're talking about is this doesn't necessarily mean to apply next year.
[00:05:27]  It'll depend on when this ruling comes down from the court, because if it comes in June, primary season will have already begun.
[00:05:33]  The idea of changing for 2026 would be tough.
[00:05:35]  But for generations thereafter, I mean, this could be a permanent advantage for Republicans in building an enduring majority in the House of Representatives.
[00:05:43]  Right.
[00:05:44]  I mean, there's so many critical angles to this, and the way that the House of Representatives would look would be different in terms of numbers, but also the way it would look in terms of race and representation.
[00:05:58]  It would look different if y'all stopped counting illegal immigrants on the census and giving Democrats House seats.
[00:06:04]  Y'all have been cheating two-fold with these maps that it was drawn to help black folks be fairly represented.
[00:06:10]  That is unconstitutional.
[00:06:12]  That is racist.
[00:06:13]  And on top of that, with how y'all use illegal immigrants for the census to draw even more representation, it's just unfair.
[00:06:20]  And I'm perfectly fine with this.
[00:06:23]  Representation would be very, very different.
[00:06:25]  And Tia, David mentioned Chief Justice Roberts.
[00:06:29]  If you go back to 2007, and one of the opinions that he wrote, he said, the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating based on race.
[00:06:42]  Thank you.
[00:06:43]  Leave it up to a white man to say something smart.
[00:06:45]  You lay that's a great white man, too.
[00:06:47]  That's going to go down in history.
[00:06:49]  He's kind of liberal, though.
[00:06:50]  But that sounds conservative.
[00:06:52]  Yeah, I love liberals.
[00:06:53]  I just can't stand a progressive.
[00:06:57]  I mean, there's a negative connotation when it comes to that term liberal nowadays because that term's been hijacked by the people.
[00:07:04]  But it's been conflated with progressive.
[00:07:05]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:07:06]  I mean, that is a lovely thought.
[00:07:09]  And the question before the court is whether the United States of America is there right now.
[00:07:14]  And our question is: is the court, how do you find evidence that states, and of course, this is going to have a trickle-down effect all the way down to local governments, but there's repeatedly evidence that race, you know, black voters are not, are being disenfranchised.
[00:07:36]  They're not getting equal representation.
[00:07:38]  We make up 13% of the population.
[00:07:41]  How much representation do we really need?
[00:07:43]  Y'all actually overrepresented.
[00:07:45]  If you look at the elected officials, that's way more.
[00:07:48]  It's more than 13% of blacks in Congress mayors, governors.
[00:07:54]  Yeah, maybe.
[00:07:56]  Yeah, no, they're overly represented because these maps, how they're drawn, unfair towards white people.
[00:08:01]  Yeah.
[00:08:02]  So even at that Louisiana map, when you're talking about a state where one-third of the voters are black, but that is not reflected in a lot of these governing bodies, particularly in Congress, until they were mandated to draw that second majority black district.
[00:08:22]  So how do you now argue?
[00:08:23]  Well, we think if left to own their devices, the legislators in Louisiana are going to do the right thing.
[00:08:30]  There's just not evidence of that.
[00:08:32]  See, that's also a problem like in Charlotte, like what happened to that white girl that black got on the live train on that train.
[00:08:38]  You see all these just black people being released when they shouldn't be released.
[00:08:42]  They're dangerous and they're like a menace to society and they do horrible things to innocent people all the time because of this power that they have that they should not have.
[00:08:51]  Drawing these districts just to make it blue, just to represent black people.
[00:08:55]  But look how black people vote.
[00:08:57]  Look how they govern.
[00:08:58]  They suck.
[00:08:59]  Right.
[00:09:00]  And not only what happened to that Ukrainian refugee here that came here, I mean, it happens way more often to black folks, but you never hear about it because it's black on black.
[00:09:11]  Nobody really cares.
[00:09:12]  But when it happens to a white girl, then these things are brought to light how horrible black people are when they're trying to govern their districts.
[00:09:19]  Yeah.
[00:09:19]  It's just asinine.
[00:09:21]  And I know that there are a lot of people who say we're past that.
[00:09:25]  We're past the Jim Crow era.
[00:09:27]  We're past the era of just drawing maps just to disenfranchise black people.
[00:09:32]  But there is evidence.
[00:09:33]  Black Voters Matter.
[00:09:34]  They put out a really good primer on this case.
[00:09:37]  And they talked about that there are, you know, Republican operatives that were helping draw maps in multiple states that talked about using race as a factor in how they drew lines in certain states.
[00:09:50]  So the evidence just, I know that there are a lot of people who want it to be, you know, want it to be a certain way, but the evidence is not that the U.S. has got there.
[00:10:00]  Yes, we have.
[00:10:01]  Yes, we have.
[00:10:01]  We've had a black president in the historical context.
[00:10:04]  We already should be.
[00:10:06]  But 1965, the year of the Voting Rights Act, there were six black members of the House of Representatives, zero from the South.
[00:10:15]  Now, there are 59, 27 from the South.
[00:10:20]  And before I bring you in on that note, I just want to listen to a little bit more of what happened in the Supreme Court this morning, which again, these arguments are still going on as we speak.
[00:10:30]  Elena Kagan asked a representative who was arguing for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund what the impact would be to eliminate the Voting Rights Act provision that they're talking about.
[00:10:44]  It would be great for this country.
[00:10:49]  Black people, like in the areas that black people live, right?
[00:10:55]  These places are like Gotham.
[00:10:58]  You look at Memphis, Chicago, Charlotte, Baltimore.
[00:11:03]  You look at these places when you leave black people to their own devices.
[00:11:08]  And it's the crime rates.
[00:11:10]  Yeah, sure, they're represented more, but is that represent, does that representation actually help black people?
[00:11:18]  It doesn't.
[00:11:19]  We're still the lowest when it comes to earning.
[00:11:21]  We're the lowest in every category in this country.
[00:11:24]  That black representation have not served us well.
[00:11:26]  I think white representation, I just, you know, I don't even care.
[00:11:33]  Black people, the way they vote and govern, they cannot help the black community.
[00:11:39]  So I just want smart people.
[00:11:40]  I don't care what race you are.
[00:11:42]  Right.
[00:11:43]  If black people, when they're left to their own devices, if they didn't vote for people like Jasmine Crockett, I'd be like, all for it.
[00:11:48]  But that's who they vote for.
[00:11:50]  Yeah.
[00:11:50]  That's who they praise, applaud, celebrate.
[00:11:52]  They love that woman.
[00:11:54]  That woman is detrimental to our country.
[00:11:56]  Yes, they think she's a genius.
[00:11:59]  There's people comparing her to Obama.
[00:12:02]  Yeah, that's, I mean, come on.
[00:12:08]  I think the results would be pretty catastrophic if we take Louisiana as one example.
[00:12:14]  Every congressional member who is black was elected from a VRA opportunity district.
[00:12:20]  We only have the diversity that we see across the South, for example, because of litigation that forced the creation of opportunity districts under.
[00:12:30]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:12:31]  Of course, it's going to be detrimental to having black representation.
[00:12:34]  But if you do away with this, you're going to have better representation.
[00:12:39]  Yeah.
[00:12:39]  Actually, maybe the crime will go down.
[00:12:41]  Maybe we can lock up these criminals.
[00:12:44]  You know?
[00:12:44]  Yeah.
[00:12:45]  I mean, the representation that blacks have now, y'all haven't went about it the fair way.
[00:12:51]  This is racist, which y'all are doing.
[00:12:54]  Of course, this had some purpose back in the day when this country was systemically racist.
[00:13:00]  Yeah.
[00:13:01]  Right?
[00:13:01]  But we don't need it anymore.
[00:13:02]  We've had a black president.
[00:13:04]  We can have...
[00:13:06]  Yeah, when you get black representation, what do they fight for?
[00:13:09]  Reparations.
[00:13:10]  Yeah.
[00:13:11]  Stupid items like that.
[00:13:14]  It doesn't help.
[00:13:15]  That's not helping black people.
[00:13:16]  The black representation in our country is the major reason why majority of the things we have wrong that's wrong in our country.
[00:13:24]  Like the border couldn't be fixed.
[00:13:26]  You got men participating in women's sports.
[00:13:29]  You got these criminals roaming repeat offenders.
[00:13:32]  That's why we're in the problem.
[00:13:34]  That's why we're having the problems we are.
[00:13:36]  It's because of the black representation that we have in this country that y'all got unfairly.
[00:13:41]  This is unfair to America to continue to draw these crazy looking districts just so black people have representation.
[00:13:47]  Yeah.
[00:13:48]  Like 96% of black women voted for Kamala.
[00:13:51]  Yeah.
[00:13:51]  For the simple fact that she's supposedly she's black.
[00:13:55]  And look how horrible this country was ran under Biden and under Kamala's.
[00:13:59]  Look at all the resources that went towards illegal immigrants instead of black people.
[00:14:04]  Yeah.
[00:14:06]  If black people haven't opened eyes by now, I think it's impossible for them to see.
[00:14:10]  So you need more white representation.
[00:14:13]  You need the white man to take over.
[00:14:19]  Need the white man.
[00:14:20]  Imagine if this country was ran by black folks.
[00:14:25]  Based on what I see in Baltimore, Chicago, Charlotte, Memphis, Tennessee, all these black areas.
[00:14:32]  Like I said earlier, it's like Gotham.
[00:14:33]  This is not even a theory.
[00:14:36]  It's a fact.
[00:14:37]  Yeah.
