| Is there a junior legal fellow there? | |
| Well, we have some people that aren't quite as senior as me. | |
| Are you a rising senior or actually a senior? | |
| My wife tells me I'm a rising senior. | |
| That was very witty, my friend. | |
| I won't go any further. | |
| But I loved it. | |
| That was really swift. | |
| God, I have so many great comments to make. | |
| But I will return to our subject. | |
| So, people need to understand, there's nothing true about the voter suppression. | |
| So now, Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States, is having the Department of Justice investigate Georgia, is that what you were up to? | |
| Yeah, they actually filed a lawsuit claiming that all these changes were racially discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act, and the claims, they're just... | |
| They're nutty claims, and I'll give you an example of one. | |
| Georgia never allowed drop boxes for people to put their absentee ballots in. | |
| Well, during last year's election, the state election board issued an emergency regulation because of COVID, allowing drop boxes to be used in the counties throughout the state. | |
| So as part of this election reform bill, The Georgia legislature actually legalized drop boxes, and they set up a formula for it. | |
| You can have one drop box in each county, plus a certain number of extra drop boxes for every, I think it was 100,000 people of population. | |
| So it's a strict mathematical formula, just depending on how many voters you have. | |
| Well, in the lawsuit DOJ filed, they claimed that this wasn't enough drop boxes. | |
| And not having more drop boxes would somehow discriminate against black voters. | |
| That's not obvious to you? | |
| No, it's not. | |
| But it is to them. | |
| And that's how absurd the claims are. | |
| I mean, another one, just very quickly, is in Georgia it used to be you had up until four days before Election Day to request an absentee ballot. | |
| Well, they changed that to 11 days. | |
| Before Election Day for a voter to request an absentee ballot. | |
| That supposedly is now racially discriminatory. | |
| What they failed to mention was that last year, Dennis, the U.S. Postal Service sent a letter to all 50 states saying, we strongly recommend that you change the deadline for a voter to request an absentee ballot to conform with our delivery standards for first-class mail, and we think you ought to... | |
| Have the deadline be 15 days before Election Day. | |
| So Georgia was actually trying to accommodate what the Postal Service said and make sure that folks didn't request an absentee ballot too late so that it would arrive too late to be counted. | |
| That supposedly is racially... | |
| Okay. | |
| Give me a moment here, Hans. | |
| I want to just say to you and to my listeners... | |
| There are two very important rules to be learned from all of this. | |
| One, the contempt that the left has for blacks. | |
| Utter contempt. | |
| An ID law is anti-black, is as anti-black a sentiment as a human can come out with. | |
| It is truly to say blacks are less competent than all other people. | |
| Number two, this is another proof of how little racism there is in the United States. | |
| That this is what constitutes racism. | |
| Two huge lessons to be learned from the gigantic lie of Joe Biden last night. | |
| No, that is absolutely right. | |
| And, you know, what's interesting about it is the polling shows the American people don't agree with any of this. | |
| You know, one of the latest polls by, I think it was Monmouth University, showed that 80% of Americans think voter ID, of course. | |
| That's a common sense reform. | |
| They support it. | |
| The number of minority voters, including blacks who support it, is 84%, an even higher percentage. | |
| So clearly, black voters don't agree that they somehow are incapable of having an ID. Black voters don't agree that blacks vote Democrat is the biggest political riddle in the United States. | |
| The Democrats hurt blacks. | |
| Blacks don't believe in defunding the police. | |
| They don't believe in not having an ID for voting. | |
| They don't believe in not having school choice. | |
| They don't believe in almost anything the Democrats stand for. | |
| But they vote Democrat. | |
| It's a scandal that hurts the black community. | |
| You do great work, Hans. | |
| And say hi to your wife. | |
| I will do that. | |
| Thanks for having me. | |
| Thank you. | |
| One of the great moments. | |
| We will continue. | |
| You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show. | |
| Remember my two lessons, the contempt for blacks and the fact that there's so little racism. |
