this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. i mean, this is gigantic what they're trying to do. >> the resurgence of jim crow-style voter suppression measures across state legislatures. >> what we are seeing in georgia right now and in other states run the country in those 361 restrictive laws that have been opposed is beyond a rainstorm, it is a tsunami threatening democracy. resmed parts of our country are backsliding to the days of jim crow. >> sean: really, jim crow joe? what all these democrats are failing to mention but we will tell you the truth, delaware's jolting voting laws. joe has were presented delaware for probably 500, 5,000 years, who knows at this point. the laws of delaware are far more restrictive than georgia's new so-called jim crow 2.0 racist new rules. of far more inclusive in georgia, far more accessible for voting in georgia. the state of georgia, their new law, that mandates 17 days of in person early voting. that's accessibility. delaware has 0 in person early voting. in georgia, anybody without any r

this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. this is gigantic what they are trying to do. >> the resurgence of jim crow-style voter suppression measures. >> it is a tsunami threatening democracy. >> a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights unlike anything we've ever seen since the jim crow era. this is jim crow in new clothes. >> sean: ultimately the all-star game was viewed by 8 million people, a historically low number for that game, showing politics in sports aren't going over well with the american people. worst of all, businesses in atlanta including minority-owned businesses, they lost tens and tens of millions of dollars in revenue. why? because of the selfish political actions of the democratic party. one longtime democratic strategist has a few choice words for his own party. take a look. >> -- party of blacks and suburban women. they are not into this. all right? and you know, we are seeing it time and time again. we are letting a noisy wing of our party defined the rest of us. and my point is we can't do that.

in black history, what was going on between the end of slavery and reconstruction and the jim crow erafore the model day civil rights movement, in charge of the progress being made and it was markable progress. you saw gaps and income gaps closing. the poverty rate for example in america so by 40 percentage points 1940 -- 60. that is before a civil rights act. you had profession, social workers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, a number of them quadrupled from 1930 -- 1970. and you are right, this. is not discussed to the extent it should be and i think that's because it interferes with the prevailing narrative which is what we see, the outcomes we see today, the legacy of slavery and jim crow. if you say to them the blacks were progressing at a much faster rate than generations closer to jim crow than they are today, it interferes with that narrative that the left often pushes. >> so again, tell me if this is going against your opinion but the central monarch over conservative is please leave me alone. that's basically what we want, to be left alone. we like to make our own mi

to talk about jim crow and joe biden about why? joe biden was part of jim crow.ten to this short article from npr national public radio in 1975 number two say to you that joe biden is the most racist president in the oval office since woodrow wilson. >> those are those who think somehow that if we just secretary men, individual characteristics and traits by making sure presently heterogeneous society becomes a totally homogeneous society that somehow we want to solve our social liberals like to the contrary, the concept into the into that concept is the question just ask we are going to people so they all have the same access next line with one another is a rejection of the whole movement of life, and rejection of the entire block awareness concept with black is beautiful, black culture should be studied in the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity and individuality and i think that is a healthy, solid proposal. there are a lot of people opposed that back then who weren't racist including certain supreme court justices and others, democrats a

no jim crow is not leaving alone we will help you with that have been better? >> i don't think it is theoretical it is meant to be answered empirically by looking at trends among blacks added period of time when the government excuse my french didn't give a damn what was happening to black people and to the extent it was involved it was oppression work at again at the progress being made among blacks with educational attainment and look at the trendlines you can see tremendous progress in the first half of the 20th century and then with the welfare state expansion in the sixties come along and the great society, well-intentioned but that was going on among blacks at that point all of these things were slow or stall the start to reverse course with a quick statistic filing crime among blacks today is front page news. it was declining in the first half and in the 19 forties it fell by 18 percent. nineteen fifties fell by another 21 percent all the while remaining slack among whites and this was remarkable because this was the time a lot of blacks moving from rura

once -- what is jim crow 2.0? the latest effort by democrats to write laws and preventen -- before the senate s pending what the authors have entitled for the people act many are rightly calling it the corrupt politicians act are the only objective in the corrupt politicians act to keep politicians and to take away the right of american voters to vote democrats out of power. grub politicians act would strike down every voter i.d. law in the country. 80% of americans support voter i.d. at 60% of african-american support voter i.d. and repeal every one of those laws. mind you democrats are saying we support the right to vote so we are going to take away the decision made by the voters to enact voter i.d. laws. what does the corrupt politician next to? 29 states that prevented valid harvesting. dallas harvesting is the practice where you send operative collective ballotsce f others so a paid operative for example from the dnc will go into nursing, collect hundreds of ballots from seniors, some of may no longer be com

that's jim crow laws. i brought with me a six-page test from 1958 in georgia, had you to pass this test to register to vote. i was head of cis. we gave citizenship test that's were a cake walk next to this. i wonder if everybody in this committee could name every judge in the judicial circuit you live in. i can't and i was deputy attorney general attorney general. i'd submit this as well. this is a jim crow impediment to people voting, literacy bar and these kind of tests, you can find this in california, connecticut, delaware. these are real jim crow laws. sen. cruz: which party wrote the jim crow laws? >> almost universally written by the democratic party certainly in virginia and across the south. sen. cruz: which party enforced the laws? >> democratic party universally. sen. cruz: which party benefits? >> one party maintained for decades about the democratic party. sen. cruz: and jim crow laws were designed to keep which party in office? >> the democratic party. sen. cruz: so today, the democrats are a

if you say at this work progressing at a much faster rate in generations much closer jim crow than they today, it is that narrative the left often pushes. >> so again, please tell me if this is a wrong reading in your opinion but one effect, if not by central model of conservative is please leave me alone, basically what we want, to be left alone. we like to make our own life, make our own mistakes, fall on our faces, pick ourselves up, is it at all fair to say that had -- if fox had been left alone with no jim crow, that's not being left alone and no will help you immensely, with the have been better? >> i don't even think it's a theoretical question, something that's the answer comparatively by looking at friends among blacks and appeared of time when they didn't care what is happening to the extent that the government wants involved and if you look at the progress being made on the left in terms of income and profession, educational attainment not only in those terms but relative., you see tremendous progress on the 20th century and went welfare expansions of the 1960s, long with gre

so what's jim crow 2.0? it is the latest efforts of democrats to write laws to prevent the voters from voting democrats out of power. before the senate is pending s-1. what the authors have orwellianly entitled the for the people act but many are rightly calling it the corrupt politicians act. the only objective of the corrupt politicians act is to keep democrats in power for the next hundred years, to take away the right of american voters to vote democrats out of power. how does it do that? corrupt politicians act would strike down every voter id law in the country. 80% of americans voters support voter id, 60% of african-americans support voter id. what would the corrupt politicians act do? undermine every one of those laws. mind you, the documents say we support the right to vote. so we are going to take away the decision made by voters to enact voter id laws. what else does the act plan to do? 29 states prohibited ballot harvesting. that's a corrupt process where you send operatives to collect the battl

obviously there was the evil of jim crow. we all understand that. but jesse owens who was a hero in 1932 or 36 i don't remember which olympics it was in berlin where to hitler's great chagrin it was a black runner that a beat all of the other runners. people don't know that though, do they. >> they don't. thomas spent quite a bit of time writing about this period that is often overlooked. they chartered the progress that was being made and it was remarkable progress. we saw the gaps closing, income gaps closing. the poverty rate, for example, in america fell by 40 percentage points between 1940 and 1960. that's before the civil rights act and before the voting rights act. you had middle-class professions, social workers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, accountants. a number of them quadrupled between 1930 and 1970. that is before the affirmative affirmative-action and you are right this period does not discuss what it should and i think that is because it really interferes with the prevailing narrative which is that what we see these outcomes today amon

imagine jim crow, states do what they do. they went back and said i want this to be done and that to be done. there is nothing you can do about it. the only thing we can do is get your id, make sure you get to vote. the thing is that i give it another 10 years, that is probably as long as republicans have. thank you. guest: your prognostication on the future of the republican party be interesting to see. your point that getting an id and putting is important. one of the things that has happened is that partisans have tried on both sides to manipulate the voting process to their advantage. that is wrong. campaigning and seeking to get votes for a candidate is a very different exercise than the voting process itself. in my view, we should look at the voting process, the casting of ballots as sacrosanct and we should respect it. it should not be manipulated for political purposes. the caller is right that we have a sorry history, particularly in the 19th and early 20th century of keeping people particularly -- keeping people, pa

that was the great achievement of the civil rights movement in busting jim crow.o the extent that the government has tried to play a positive role, affirmative action, has had a deleterious effect. you can chart the rise of the welfare state with the rise of fatherless homes in the black community. so yes, the leave us alone strategy i think was the better strategy. and blacks at the time said so. that's your frederick douglass and booker t. washington, that was their attitude. >> host: so with regard to know community, is it probably as true as it is with regard to black americans? ronald reagan's famous statement, the government is not the solution, it's the problem. >> guest: yes, i think so, and that was sort of, thomas sowell started out as as a marxist. you started out thinking that the government did have a positive role to play. through his 20s. he remained a marxist even after studying economics under milton friedman at the university of chicago, sowell are still a marxist and he says what changed his mind was working in the government, and the department

popper refer to the history of jim crow. we all know about grandfather taxes and poll taxes and character tests and so on. do you agree with ms. fischbach's suggestion that the discrimination against people who voted ended at some point? or did that continue until today? mr. rosenberg, i think it continues. -- mr. rosenberg: -- professor stephanopoulos: i think it continues. rep raskin: is it not out of racial animosity but because of their prediction that they will disproportionately support the other party? is that discrimination within the voting rights act? professor stephanopoulos: whether or not it is a discriminatory intent, it is a disk -- disproportionate racial impact. it is complicated when the true motivation is part of it and whether one can able that has racial intent. rep. raskin: mr. rosenberg, let me come to you. this ranking thing to me today is that voter fraud is the slogan of people trying to commit voter fraud. donald trump's famous hour long phone call with the republican secretary of state of georgia
