-- the promise that he was all alive. i was a student up north in the civil rights movement. i remember feeling how guilty of life. how can we all we up there, i can still picture the troopers of the batons and ones and webs. the right have i mean your vote counted, is the threshold of democracy and liberty. with it, anything possible, without that right, nothing is possible. and this fundamental right, remains under assault. conservative supreme court has gutted the voting rights act, from the 20 election, a wave of states, and thousands and van heel us, fueled by the big lie

election deniers. -- and the freedom to vote act. >> on that note i wish you a goliath night, for least a minute is in for stephanie ruhle, you cannot catch me every week on american voices, from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late. u for staying up late. we are super happy to have you here. september 29th, 1973. the vice president of the united states, flew to california to give a speech. it was a speech he knew he would be giving to some of his most die hard fans. people who would follow him to the end of the earth. and that was crucial that

moment in his life. because just a few weeks earlier, the wall street journal had -- is under criminal investigation. federal corruption charges, bribery, extortion, passive, asian omega stuff. it is very shocking front page news of the time. it was damaging news, for obvious reasons to the vice president, because he was completely enraged about it. the women are hard-core activists, as a group, they were quite right-wing, as a group there are quite devoted to spiro agnew. this has been kind of forgotten in history. but agnew was seen has been much more hard right, much more

putt, nations much more uncompromising, and i told squish president nixon was. and so the hard right, and a real activist of the republican party, they loved spiro agnew, even more than they loved richard next in. so, while agnew, their guy, those embattled by this reported federal criminal investigation. he goes up there to give a speech. and, when he told him at that speech, started off blunt but kind of normal. he says, i'm innocent of the charges against me. he then told them, this is slightly more surprising, he told the crowd that he was going to use the courts himself to turn the tables and investigate the justice department for investigating him oh you're gonna investigate me? i mean it investigate you hear the real scoundrels that got a big round of cheers for spiro agnew. but then what he is winding up to, the big climax of the

speech, the thing that actually got the republican women in that room, up on their sheriffs standing, applauding, and screaming for him the apex of the speech that is when he said because the whole process was so corrupt because the whole thing with such a witch hunt against him because they're only coming after him because he was a big deal, and he was conservative, and all of the liberals day in the deep state, we're trying to, because it is all rigged, it was all a witch hunt, who is all a hoax, so that crowd who wanted to set expectations. no matter what these policy is wanted to get on him know and to get him to resign. >> they are trying to recoup their reputation because a small and fearful men have been frightened.

into furnishing evidence against me they have perjured themselves in many cases, it's my understanding, i will not resign if indicted, i will not resign if indicted. [interpreter] -- i will not resign if indicted, exactly 11 days later. exactly 11 days later he was indicted, and he resigned. that same day. like within two minutes. he had actually done a deal federal prosecutors, where they let him plead no contest to just one of the 40 felonies and charged with, and if he agreed to that one no contest plea, and he agreed to resign from office, they would let him off, on the other 39 phonies.

just amazing. i mean, that is a political classic. i will not resign if indicted, the fact that he said it twice -- when even have to wait two weeks for buddy. that was 1973. i will not resign if indicted. this was yesterday. trump vows to, now to drop out of 2024 race if indicted. trump says he won't drop out of 2024 rates, if indicted. trump said if he would stay in 2024 race and indicted. everybody, say it all together, now i will not resign if indicted. suzanne didn't thing. --

we talk about the growing protests in israel protest against a plan by that country's prime minister to effectively take over the judicial system in our country, taken to the courts. the prime minister in israel is facing criminal corruption charges himself and so he says the court system is out of control and he's gonna bring it under control circle even bring it under his control is basically not gonna take it over salon forsman at the courts would no longer be independent he would consolidate power massively by consolidating control over that part of the government which we may know more pushback from the courts and anthony wanted to do is power who once that happens

you not worry about been dissuaded from any other now you control the legal system you control the courts you can do what you want is easy to see how this is a pillar of democracy right is one of the very basic things that prevent strongman leaders from taking complete control and becoming dictators unruly by force the courts also have authority the courts can constrain the would-be dictator from doing stuff that he'd otherwise want to do but that's what the courts can tell it is illegal. that's how we reported a few weeks ago, and the big protest against what the prime minister is trying to do. this is as we can in israel, the pressure system going, and there's still a gigantic, it's been nine straight weeks of, in fact, increasingly large and

increasingly determined protests. in multiple cities in that country now tonight multiple news organizations are reporting that important price that country's military are joining in a form of protest as well, as a way of standing up for the independent judiciary. here's the front page of the new york times tonight, biden by benjamin netanyahu to severely curtail the pies israel supreme court. it's prompted weeks of demonstrations, rabble the technology center, raised fears of political violence. protests are emerging even within the nation's military, hundreds of shull soldiers in the military reserves, how is a sign that it is, i have pulitzer emotions that they're and include 8200 division bills disgruntled cyber intelligence and was graduate work to help dry the country's tech industry, as well as early combat units.

so that's a whole of society response allowed rejection. people say no, we want the legal system left alone we won our legal system are judiciary to be left independent will not be taken over by the dear leader by the ruling party it stays independent. you know, if you care about israel itself is a country that is certainly of interest, it's very important thing in that country, as the times puts it tonight, is one of the longest and biggest waves of protests in israeli history. that's of interest on its, on terms in terms of that country, but it's also court categorically of interest to us as americans. i think, because we do sometimes see tendencies, trends, patterns, more easily and other countries that we can see them here at home slots for a second it's relatively easy for us to see the similarities

in this one effort has a political leader and his party take over the leaders and legal system. it's easy for us to see from distance how some of that effort is to what the authoritarian leader of hungry just did the viktor orban who's a big star among the american right and conservative media. he did this and hungry to. he spent let better part of last decade taking control of the courts and legal systems, so now in his country there is no real legal system, it's just part of orban's consolidated power. sort of a paper tiger. it's a system that exists only on paper. then answers to him or, rubber stamps whatever it wants, punishes this enemies, but every wants them to do. >> and again, from a distance, it's easy for us to, see in different countries the same pattern, from a distance it's easy for us to see the saying the people are protesting against israel right, now the thing that just happen in

hungry, it's very similar to what the authoritarian leader of russia during his time in russia he took power 1999 and then right after he ate the independent you share for breakfast, followed up by eating this supposedly independent parliament for lunch. now russia is neither of those things, neither an independent judiciary north into kind of parliament, and now russia is the kind of country where every significant opposition leader, who service in any capacity in the past decade or more, is either murdered, exiled, where imprisoned, or some combination of all three. , you cannot have an authoritarian government, an authoritarian cannot achieve his full potential, if you have an independent press, they have an independent legal system, if you have an independent coequal branch of government. what does it mean to be an authoritarian? by definition, remains to be an

authoritarian is yet to do whatever you want. as such, you can't buy there being any competing source of authority, in a company. nobody also allowed to state the facts as they see them, no independent source effects what he, use it as my authoritarians option go after academia, universities, higher education, even regular education. they can't bite anybody else in their country who's allowed to govern in any way, it is any competing governing authority. they can't bite anyone else who is allowed to produce any form of criticism, oversight, where accountability for the day earlier. that's how it works all over the world. it's why authoritarian leaders look like they do the same thing in every country, because they do the same thing in every country. and when authoritarians and would-be authoritarians, try to get rid of these other important institutions, in their society, institutions to do provide these kind of

challenges to them, these alternate sources of authority and credibility in truth, when authorities try to get rid of those institutions, and the way you save your democracy, that is when the people of those countries signed up those institutions and don't let the leader take them over. as crucial you do it during the first time because once the independent of those institutions is gone it's gone. >> there needed, states we've of the past few years, as our version of one of these guys, has railed against and try to delegitimize everybody who has investigated for anything. so the press is the enemy of the people, some of the people, don't believe any of them the media is trying to kill you, and we should call them first. are the fbi right,

conservatives i thought love fbi, no now it's let's defund the fbi. let's arrestee fbi leader, the whole justice department and that volume of the people. this is part of the same playbook these guys all around the world, all play from. nobody is allowed to, criticize nobody slide to tell the truth nobody lied to investigate, and the entity that does that, poses any sort of threat to the dear leader, that ngos to be attacked, delegitimized, taken, over or killed off. >> when you stand how this works. what we have been watching for next though. it's what happens after that. what's the act of furtherance beyond that. because it's one thing to come after and criticize, and delegitimized entities that

have investigated you. at, is in, fact something we've seen before here from the hard, right in the united states. that republican women's convention in 1973, where they all got up on the chairs to scream for spiro agnew. he told, them while they were screaming, he told them that the justice department was to corrupt, it is coming for, them that you get those lousy right past rates. of course, these guys all criticize the entities that are investigating them, then the cases spiro agnew, when he did get indicted, a few days after the speech, he did resign. he showed up in court, as he was commander, he pled no contest, he resigned like you said he would, in his plea agreement. yes, he criticize the legal system. yes, he threatened. when the weight of it came down on him. he followed the courts order's. he played the way he said he would plead. the legal system stayed, the

legal system state. what happens when the dear leader, and his party, decide that if illegal system is gonna be is to get there, later than legal systems gotta go. what happens when you take it further. when you take a beyond criticizing, you take it beyond criticizing those who are investigating, you and instead decide the systems gotta go. >> we know what this looks like in other countries. what does it look like here? would anyone try that here in united states, in our era, in our time? well, it is tonight, on the front page of the atlanta journal-constitution, as we speak. quote, republicans demand oversight of prosecutors, image trump probe. >> here's part of the lead from reporter greg bluestein at the agency. the georgia house tonight approved a measure to get a new state board that would punish or oust district attorney's.

a little step in an ongoing campaign by republicans to exert oversight over prosecutors, they see executing their duties. the measure passed the house 90 to 75 today, over the objections of democrats, and prominent prosecutors, among them fulton county district attorney fani willis, who was leading an ongoing probe of donald trump. republicans have rallied around the overhaul as a way to rein in, quote, rogue prosecutors, powerful public, and so on the fast-track the georgia senate has passed a similar version of this legislation and the overall effort is backed by both governor brian kemp and lieutenant governor bert jones. from an ancient lieutenant governor vergennes, in georgia, it's one of the people who's been notified by the fulton county district attorney's office, that he himself is a target for potential prosecution, and the investigations trump's efforts to throw the election results in georgia, and have election results in that state falsity clarendon winner, the lieutenant governor is facing potential charges himself, in

that investigation, he not least one republican state senator, who is also facing potential charges in that investigation, turns out they are strong supporters of this new measure. that would give republicans and the legislature, effectively the power to remove prosecutors they don't like, facing criminal charges how about you vote yourself the power to fire the person who's going to charge you? >> the former president himself, donald trump, as of today is urging republicans in georgia, they must pass this legislation. so republicans will have the power to remove prosecutors, in a metal their investigations, and the middle of prosecuting any particular case, the republicans may not like for any particular reason. >> and to be clear, this is now passed the georgia legislature, as of tonight, a version of this bill passed the state senate, and the house just

passed tonight. and the republican governor there, he says he will sign it, he's a strong supporter this. so, they're doing it. and i don't know maybe this would be easier to see if i was having another country. and you know, maybe the leader of their party is still going to face criminal charges, and other jurisdictions where he's under colonel vest again, like federally, where he's under novesta geisha, win or stay worries undercurrent of estimation, if you, will maybe won't, none of us now, but in the one place where he is under colonel vest, again and his party is in full control the state government, they have just decided for the first time in that state's history, that is, now for the first-time, within their own power, to remove prosecutors in the middle of their duties on their own say so and yes, this is a story about georgia, and yes this is a story about trump, and potential charges he was facing, but this whole new stuff for us as a country, this is a new thing for us, as a

democracy. as is not ranting against the investigators, we've seen it before, and calling people names, and even picking off individuals and the law enforcement system, to try to tournament anomie's, as bad as not all is, we've seen that before. this is not just trying to verbally and politically delegitimized investigating entities, those are all between about things to do, but this is more. sticks and stones, right? but this is dismantling the way the legal system work, so presumably, it can no longer work against him. >> this isn't a resolution denouncing a prosecutor might bring charges against donald trump. this is giving republicans, and says republicans voting to get themselves, the power to move process or move a prosecutor glass and the way they do not, like as she's on the precipice arges against them. this past the georgia state legislature tonight, it'll soon

be on its way to the governor. for georgia, yes, for us as a country, this is a benchmark moment. this is new. joining us now is greg bluestein, politics reporter at the atlanta journal got institution, mr., bluestein thank so much making time for us tonight. i know you are a reporter, and not a columnist, i appreciate you being here to help us cover these facts. >> of course. this, it is passed the house, it's likely to be passed by the governor. >> some minor disagreements over, language it's fully expect to be hidden dale, within the next couple of weeks, and governor kemp is very likely to sign it. >> in terms of the effect that this would have, the different

punctuation, bathed in terms of doesn't usually matter all that much under the new laws, but the kids like this maybe motivated that republicans don't see this, from the outside. -- including a new five member panel, depending on the legislation can even be appointed by the georgia supreme court, or republican leaders themselves, that the governor and the lieutenant governor. so they start the side of this panel, but certainly can have an impact very shortly, in georgia law. >> because any discussion of individual members of the

legislature, or somebody like the lieutenant governor, having a conflict of interest, potentially having a self serving motive, in supporting a proposal like this, given that so many prominent georgia republicans have been notified that they are targets for potential prosecution in this one investigation related to the 2020 election? >> yeah, it's a good question, because state republicans have been very careful not to bring up the trump case. right? it's impossible to disentangle fani willis, and her investigation, from this overall debate, but one state republicans bring out these measures may bring up a number of other prosecutors around georgia who have been in hot water for misconduct and other grievances. another district attorney out in governor kemp's backyard of athens is often invoked because she refuses to invoke and force low-level drug offenses. they believe she's an apt and ineffective as a prosecutor. there's also a white republican,

from out west, georgia former district attorney from my county, who pleaded guilty to misconduct charges, and it stepped down, so he is often invoked. they're very careful about not bringing up donald trump, that, again it's impossible to disentangle him for this entire debate. >> it's presumable that our rules instructions place. they handle prosecutorial conduct, violate georgia has an unusual acuña, is legal system, where prosecutors are less comfortable, or things that they legitimately do law wrong, compared to other states, right? >> that's exactly right, district attorneys are, democrats and other critics, they know that there are already in pieces embedded in georgia, law they count for prosecutors, when they're doing the job, this unit ability from the general assembly, to impeach now senators that are very rarely is that he was last in the 1960s, there's a georgia

bar there's a supreme court those the judiciary is a number of other steps that could be taken before creating this new panel so critics of this measure say that's already parts of this invented in georgia law. why are we using that. >> greg bluestein politics reported a lie to join our constitution as very much virulent happiness and desantis. and spies that this is in a bigger national story. we may just be a matter of getting down from before people realize the seriousness of what's happening here. thank you for helping us understand it. >> all right, the georgia state legislature about the senate in the house, have now passed legislation that will effectively give republicans in the legislature the power to remove prosecutors. and they don't like how are pursuing cases that they don't appreciate. this happening just as fulton county district attorney fani willis approaches her own to station, but whether or not to recommended diamonds against

multiple georgia prominent republicans, who have been identified that their potential targets of investigation. and also former president on trump. we talk about the rule of law and accountability issues embedded in trump's potential legal liability all the time this is effectively at dismantling. have the judicial system in one state in an effort that seems, i think, it's in arguable seems designed to dismantle the legal system rather than allow him to be subject to. just astonishing, this is new. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. car's advanced safety system.

written exam to get a teachers license, she has that world sam, the board of education nevertheless turned her down, specifically because she used a wheelchair. judy human had gotten polio when she was 18 months old, it had to spend months in an iron lung, she survived polio, she had used a wheelchair for the rest of her life. then she face not just challenges, or difficulties, she faced discrimination because of it. when she was five years, old her mom's try to sign up for kindergarten, therefore shouldn't be allowed to enroll in school. with basically the same excuse got on the board of education as adults, when she tried to become a teacher. a 1970, when they told are now, you're otherwise qualify, but because use it wheelchair, you can't be a teacher. she came in and sue the board of education in new york. and she won.

she became the first new york teacher ever, whose wheelchair user ever, and that her fight was the first disability so the rights case, ever brought in federal court. first disability civil rights case ever brought, and she won it. judy human new had a fight, and she knew what it took to win, even the most difficult fights, she didn't over and over and over again, 1973 richard nixon signed a law, he said that any organization to god federal funding, can discriminate against disabled people. i meant schools, at all levels. candidates going against disabled people, yet to make accommodations, so the people can with disabilities can use those facilities, can use those agencies, can get into those balloons. now, that law was signed in 1973, unaccounted for us now,

law -- hospitals who complain about having to put in ramps or accessible bathrooms and so disabled activists realized this law was in the books but the regulations implementing a lot were not in the books and it is time for the government to actually do what they said they're gonna do passionate about the law require them to do. to act actually pursue the civil rights legislation. and shooting him in among, them they started demonstrating, a federal buildings all across the country. and they organized demonstrations and federal agencies responsible in washington, and then they organize them at the regional offices, the protests organized despite wasn't san francisco, and that actually ended up in the biggest and longest peaceful occupation of a u.s.

federal building, in u.s. history, more than 100 disabled activists, stay there, for four weeks straight. they didn't have hot water, they didn't have beds, many of them didn't have access to medicine they needed. we catch a week, they say, demanding to be heard, demanding that these legislations go into place. to finally get the leaders of the agency agreed to meet with them. and that, munich meeting she raised a signal point, from another movement in american history. >> i can't tell you, at that every time you raise issues of separate but equal. the outrage of disabled individuals, across this country, it's going to continue, that's going to be ignited, there will be more takeovers of buildings, until finally, maybe you begin to understand our position.

we will want to line forest. we want no more segregation. we will accept no more discussion of segregation. and i would appreciate it if you would stop shaking their head in agreement, when i don't think you understand what we are talking about. >> judy him, and tell the world what she nfl activists, we're talking about, their willingness to show up and stay there, it worked, i said genuine fights, she knew how to win big difficult wins. that fight in 1977, when this country's first real protections, for people with disabilities. and it laid the groundwork for civil rights legislation to come, and 1990, judy human was

instrumental in getting the americans with disabilities act and into law. that was about a schools in the hospital, south the nba, mayor americans with disabilities act, also standing the same a civil rights protection to private entities, anyone or the sort of public accommodation, people with disabilities, need to be able to access the things that other citizens can access, and reasonable accommodation for the needs, so they can do so is a matter of civil rights. judy came in and then served in government herself, ultimately, both the clinton administration, and the obama administration. this is from the head of the american association of people's disabilities. quote, judy really has helped people except today were and take hiding the identity shield so heumann many people understand their own power is disabled people. most simply as judy heumann put it in a memoir, some people say what i did change the world.

really, i simply refused to accept that i was told about what could be. and, when she says, quote, i was willing to make a fuss budget. i was willing to make a fuss about, it was delivered by. because heumann -- life not just here, and so many places is, better for everyone, even for the people that should be done all those flights. it's one thing to five yourself, it's another thing to five years of in a way that leaves or country in the world, better off. not only for you, and people like you, who come after you, but literally for the people who you fought. who won the argument against, you prevail over in the fight for -- duty heumann is often called a mother of the disability movement, she dies it this weekend at the age of 75. sorry. judy heumann, dead at the age of 75, we'll be right back. 75, we'll be right back what causes a curve down there? can it be treated? stop typing, and start talking.

side of the, road they handed out missing person, signs both senators who refused to show up and answer questions, and one at memorable, instant someone in a chicken suit, led a group of protesters, through the chicken dance, outside a congressman's office in the rain, which honestly makes everything look way more fun. in the wake of the 2016 election, when republicans

learned that they would have control the house, and the senate, and they took the white house. a pair of former democratic congressional staffers, started up a google doc first strategy in that era, they typed up this instruction manual for how people opposed to what trump in the republicans wanted to do, how they can most effectively put pressure on congress, and the key insight which i think was new to a lot of people to time, was that your best route to effectively pressuring congress, is to only pressure your member of congress. whether you are a member of congress, and your senators are good, that, or somewhere in between, you target them. because they have to listen to you, when you are their constituents. they call that google doc, the indivisible guide. to surround a host, relative got on the side of the, road example on page 20. notes on how to interact directly member of congress, when they won't respond recalls. it's on page 21, indivisible

ballooned quickly from you now, again chicken suit, to a full-fledged, well organized, grassroots progressive movement. by the time the trump administration was only a few weeks old, who are already more than 7000 different indivisible groups, organized in all 50 states. well, now it's 2023, and republicans have once again, taking control of the house of representatives, and that's breathed new life into the kind of grassroots organizing the launched indivisible so effectively, back in 2017. and so, now, for 2023 there is an updated indivisible guide, and just like the first, one it is very very not symbols. it is practical, actionable advice. check this out, this was a joint protest held by indivisible members and members of the working families party who live in mike lawler's

districts. and you can see even there are signs that what they're protesting here either very very unpopular republican plot puzzles to cut medicare and cut social security. and what mike lawler's constituents are doing here, tracks with the advice from the new indivisible guy page 13 what to do if you have republican member of congress stepan focus on that unpopular ideas, and relentlessly tie them to their least appealing physicians or controversies. a guy goes on to, say you should use every possible opportunity to get your member of congress, on the record on those issues and try to form as the individual guide explained, in response to the -- had to go really sun on the record statement in local news now, work sane he opposes any cuts to social security medicare. there it is, in black and white, i got him on the record. congressman all, are now on the record opposing house of those programs as a form of progress,

and trying to save those programs. indivisible has now, in, marshall ochoa new campaign, targeting 18 republican members of congress, including michael all, or represent districts that president biden won in the 2020 election. so republican members, but their district voted voted for biden. the reason the 18 being targeted, by invisibleness new campaign is because practical as ever, indivisible believes that, that's the start of the road for democrats to take back the house in 2024. sort of taking those 18, and go from there. >> joining us as well, loving who is cofounder of indivisible, who's joined us time to time to talk about the progress of this group, and how it is very practical push organizing is working in a divided easily distracted society. it's nice to see, thanks for being here. >> good to see rachel.

>> not a good way to describe the trajectory, there's a new individual try for 2023 but specific to the fact that republicans are in control of the house as about sort of protecting progressive priorities, but also trying to orient democrats towards taking back control, gosh, rachel you did such a good job in minnesota they had to, it but i'll try. as this, we have a top level, i'd like to see us retake the house, hold the senate hold the presidency reform the filibuster, codify roe, as snow start with indivisible, all throughout the country. the theory is exactly as he laid out, we are not gonna take every single one of the 435 house districts in 2024, that's not the pathway to victory. the pathway to victory is where is the low hanging fruit, and turns out just as you said, there are 18 republican members of congress, who represent

districts that biden won in 2020. so what do you do in those districts? how do you take on these folks. this is guy mike, lawler who just covered. i'm going to limit say probably 99% of people and not heard of representative mike lawler, the fort myers retailer green, they've heard of matt, gates effort of lauren boebert, why even ahead of malawi? as because this guy, who represents a biden one district, knows that he's got one path to reelection, and that, is you've got to raise a whole bunch of money from donors, like he was, i've gotta vote more or less the way those voters want you to vote. it was 94% of the time for marjorie taylor greene. and, three this is the tricky, part you've gotta convince your constituents, we are not one of the bad guys in congress. and so that means keeping your constituents in the dark. trying to not say that you vote 94% of the time with marjorie taylor greene. and the good news this,

sunlight is the best disinfectant, and produces base in that 17 congressional district, if they want to show up and say hey, you gotta represent us, don't start with my detailing. and the side, we are able to help limit the harm from this member of congress. >> sometimes we can get them to go on the record, sometimes they're gonna vote against us. so it's gonna depend on constituents in those districts, to hold them accountable, and make sure this vital price to pay. >> as, right over the past six years, that you've been involved in this organizing effort, which turned into this big thing, do you think those big lessons learned in terms of what i think so you've steered more towards because they have had multiple multiple could've effective and more effective than you thought.

>> when we saved pictures or didn't happen, you have to call one of these 18 and they have dig down your message and say we're really concerned with what you have to say. but if that doesn't go anywhere, then there will be no accountability. so seen what these constituents actually, did in the districts, to get local attention, they got local press coverage rather event. they got him on the record. that's what moved him. so as much as possible, i do think it's important, to lean into public pressure, as one member of congress warning in the district really cares about. it's one of the reasons why if you go to invisible dog, we're getting at the resources we've got, if you're in district you can connect with other local groups, who are doing this work and do the work in realtime. if you're out of districts. so i hope everybody knows that it doesn't mean, we've got to be in a district to be supportive of this effort. we think everybody has a role

to play but trying to hire everybody to make sure congress is really representative. >> ashley limit the cofounder of indivisible, as well as doing some of the most strategically interesting organize in the country. it's been, with a nice to see you. >> if you see rachel. u see rachel ♪ ♪are you ready for me♪ ♪are you ready♪ ♪are you ready♪
