joining me now, sirius xm radio host joe madison. joe, hello. how are you holding up? >> hey.e way. >> it's -- it's been -- you know, it's had its challenges, but after that last interview you just did, i'm more convinced as i imagine those of us who have been involved in demonstrations and pickets and arrests are now -- we're emboldened to get the united states senate, when they get back from their thanksgiving recess, to put this on the front burner. i was just amazed at what is going on in wisconsin. you know, if this were -- if this were the late 1800s, we'd call it jim crow, but it's the 21st century. it's james crow, esquire. it's unimaginable how you would keep older people, probably the most loyal voters in our democracy, from voting. and the two bills that the senate is considering would prevent that from happening. senator johnson would be checked, and that's why, you know, i'm doing what i'm doing. so my spirits are high. there's some physical challenges, but there's been so many people that have said, what can i do? and that's what i'm hoping the senators upon thei

joe madison, host of "joe madison the black eagle."d center. and black eagle, i'm worried about you. it's been three weeks since you've been on this hunger strike. i have to start by asking how are you doing and feeling? >> you know, there are some physical challenges but nothing that i haven't anticipated. the real issue that concerns, you know, people asked about me. it's not about me. it's about what you just stated. there's another warning i got from retired lieutenant general clapper said that if the filibuster or the john lewis bill or right to vote bill isn't passed, it will be aiding and abetting our enemies, that russia and china our adversaries are hoping that these voting right bill protections aren't passed but, you know, for me, this is not just a political protest but it's immoral and so i just think that while we're looking at thanksgiving and people are enjoying their their families, i hope that the united states senate will reflect, joy, on what we will lose if they do not come back after the thanksgiving recess and pu

in the field of talk radio, he's known as the black eagle, joe madison is on his 15th day of a hunger for voting rights. mr. madison is in his 70s, 15 days without food being a serious thing. he says he will not eat solid food until congress passes and president biden signs voting rights protections. he is a 72-year-old man, a prostate cancer survivor. when he announced the strike on his radio show 15 days ago, he explained why he decided on this dangerous form of protest. >> somebody might ask and i'll say, well, why a hunger strike? my response to that -- and i'll be asked 100 times -- just as food is necessary to sustain life, the right to vote is necessary to sustain democracy. i'm adamant about bringing attention to our plight related to protecting voting rights, and i'm someone who really cares. now, again, questions will be asked, well, aren't you concerned about your health? about yourself? and i'll tell you what my response to that is. i have four children, five grandchildren, and one great grandchild. i am more concerned about what's going to happen to them and our country.

joe madison. announced he is going on a hunger strike. ow. and i want to ask you about this rad radical step you took. just as food is necessary to sustain life. right to vote is necessary to sustain democracy. please explain. >> i will add something else. if voting rights is dead, then the future of our children and voting rights for others is dead. and i'm not going to let that happen. and somebody has to be adamant. and bringing attention to this. the reality is tomorrow when the president signs and celebrates the infrastructure bill that passed, i think it was you who mentioned it to me, reverend sharpton, we put that pen in his hands. to sign that bill. >> that's right. >> with our vote. there are over 400 pieces of legislation right now, right now in 49 statings and some states have already passed laws to suppress, strip, reduce our right to vote. these folks started out with not even wanting to give water if people are on the line. or sandwiches. or whatever. and so i have taken the position and people will say, what about your heal

madison alworth, the only ones left in manhattan. joenyone in congress could justify spending additional $4 trillion and 4 trillion when you take out the gimmicks and the accounting shenanigans. it's $4 trillion on top of the roughly, it was 5 trillion and then another 3 -- north of 3 trillion this year. when you've got inflation skyrocketing, how can you not put your foot down about this garbage tactic energy policy out of the administration and also put your foot down to additional spending, concha? joe: remember, dagen, we are also talking about the trillion plus that was first passed under president trump and that administration and that congress and senate when the pandemic first began. that money still hasn't been fully spent yet we keep saying, okay, we need this other bill, this other bill but we are not saying it, the biden administration is saying it and the far-left wing of the democratic party. look, i'm not an economist by any stretch but i did take econ 101, i'm pretty sure that if you print more money and flood it the infl
