increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa. the gavin newsom show is a search engine for solutions and that's the focus. we want to focus on solutions and ways of bringing people together. collective action is the only way we're going to solve the world's great vexing problems. ♪ [ recorded show playing in the background ]

unfortunately it is all about the old testament down here in north carolina. our early voting numbers are surging, and north carolinians are plugged in on this issue, but there's a lot of confusion, and the language is meant to be fusing. the pro side has rebranded it the marriage amendment. but same-sex marriage is already illegal in north carolina. and a lot of people don't know that. but all of these pro forces want more. they want it on our constitution, because we are the only southern state that does not have it on our constitution at this point. >> yeah, blake talk about -- obviously we have heard these polls are kind of scary, the last public polling survey showed they are recording the amendment by 14 points.

somebody said those who know what the amendment would do are against it but they are outweighed by the uneducated on it. >> it's all about education from this point, stephanie when people are asked the question. they will say i'm for the amendment. but when you tell them this defines marriage and prohibits civil unions and domestic partnerships, then they pull back a little bit. and even reverend billy graham who we respect very much out here in north carolina, has gotten into the fight. he has penned a letter that is running in 14 north carolina newspapers this weekend, saying this is what god wants. he wants marriage to be defined between one man and one woman. do we want god in our government anymore? because like i said we're the

only southern state that does not have this on our constitution, and it's really irritating. >> a lot of people talking about this reverend shawn harris who is from fayetteville who cold his congregation to punch their gay children. he said that's what jesus today. >> they do not want to talk about the new testament. i cannot find a person that can give a civil justification for this amendment. i bring up what about what jesus said? they don't want to talk about part two of that book only part one. and it's very frustrating, because i think christianity is a lot more than that. >> the "new york times" wrote a peace on this literally called

bigotry on the ballot. this enshrines this obvious constitution. when you look at the later pew poll 47% are in favor of marriage equality 43% against. and yet this is really an important vote on tuesday in north carolina. >> it is. i believe the whole nation is watching. and alec is more than a talking point here in our state. they have the north carolina republican leadership our spoker of the house was voted man of the year by alec. wow. >> yeah. >> but it's all about education, and that's what we're trying to do here in the last three or four days and tell people the

far-reaching consequences of this amendment is very destructive. and let me add one more thing, it's bad for business. there was a couple of companies here that wanted to make documentaries, and try to find a ceo that was for amendment one, and they cannot find one. because our largest employers already respect diversity. they know it is the right thing to do. >> this could harm all unmarried couples, and banning children's health care benefits this is really overreaching. >> here is that number on the heterosexual unmarried couples, 222,000 unmarried couples in this state, 88% are straight. this has nothing to do with same

sex marriage. it is going to be so difficult to remove if it is on our constitution. >> one of the most vocal appoints is the president of the national chapter of the naacp. it basically talked about driving a wedge between gays and blacks, but this is a black pastor coming out against this amendment, correct? >> yes, in the african american community, it is my leaf they are split. many of the ministers pushing from the pulpit are referring to the old testament, and the belief that that's what god wants. so we have moved on to other

members of the african american community, and we want to be absolutely sure that they understand that this is about discrimination and no one should be comfortable with discrimination in 2012 and i think that's the message to the african american community. but the churches are very influential. >> you bring up the point that big gotry is big got try. and one of the stories this jody who's husband is one of the sponsors of this amendment. her comments that the caucasian race would benefit to from the amendment -- >> huh? >> i know. it convinced at least two african american voters to oppose it. >> i know. i watched that video, and the last time you were down in

ashville you saw the steph pool of sin -- >> yeah i wear it proudly. >> the other sponsor that voted to get this passed but the picture of them patting him on the back i told my listeners, it was like they cured cancer in the general assembly and now we have spent 5 to $6 million which we could have utilized in another program. so, yeah it's very frustrating. >> for those people that are watching and listening that don't know this story, this woman -- the wife of the guy that is one of the sponsors said the white race is diminishing i asked her why that alarmed her and she said white people founded this country, she made no mention of the fact that

people are already here. the comments made within earshot an african american coworker. and they were going to talk to a whole lot of other people once they heard how many people would be harmed by this. and [ inaudible ] admits to using the word caucasian, but denies she was talking about race. >> and then she said heat stroke -- >> i'm sorry. was i being racist it's the humidity. >> bigotry is bigotry is bigotry. >> i agree. >> i would have all y'all's back on the trayvon martin and a lot of other issues you have to have my big gay back on other issues. >> i think they are trying to

return us back to 1887 with this, and this is the kind of thinking we're seeing right now. it involves bigotry and discrimination and i think that's the talking point here, amendment one discriminates and people that have a problem with same-sex marriage you can vote against it and same-sex marriage is still illegal in north carolina. >> i don't want to offend anybody, by saying i think this may be more evidence that god was a liberal, but the fact that this racist woman who was overheard, and this pastor who was endorsing child abuse for gay children. what disturbed me is people saying amen to what he was saying. >> that's the reality of north carolina. they are going to have a

different way of thinking. so that's the reality in our state. that video did not surprise me at all. it really didn't. because there are so many churches out there that follow the doctrine of the old testament. and that's as far as they go. i still think you can be a christian, and respect diversity. it's just a different way of thinking, and i think many people across the state agree with me. but we have lots of information on our website if your listeners want to go to 880 the revolution.com. so if you want to learn a little bit more folks you can use that. >> i usually travel undercover of night just between ashville and chapelville. [ laughter ] >> but my 89 year old mom in charlotte, i think like this isn't a partisan issue anymore. i think that's part of what

we're learning more and more in polling. look at what happened in new york that was because of a lot of republican donors. and i know my mom would desperately me to stop being a single loser. >> yeah, it's really bad for everybody. >> blake tell us quickly if people in north carolina if you are not registered -- just talk about how -- because obviously turn out is going to be key. >> yeah, we have a couple of more days of early-one stop voting today, so you can check your respective county and we're seeing a surge right now in these early voting numbers, but a lot of independents are out there voting right now. our governor is an outgoing governor now, so there are a lot

of heated races across the state including the amendment one referendum on the ballot. >> yeah. >> stephanie you brought up a really, really good point. the pro side says it's all about preservation of marriage but in reality what other people do it doesn't affect my marriage of your marriage. they should be free to have their own relationship and libertarians and leading conservatives are standing with us on this issue, because they know it is not in the spirit of the constitution the state constitution to put an amendment on the constitution that doesn't protect people but limits the rights of people and creates a second-class tier of citizens. that's morally wrong. >> i as you show am a single

bitter child lose shut in but your marriage is good. >> that's right.
