>> no but i did not hear stacy abrams speak in that way.t she talked about how black men do vote and support kamala harris and a lot of the democrats and she's right about that. you know i spoke against president barack obama, who i know you don't like, but i admire and respect his man. i did not like what he had to say at that particular clip that you showed and i spoke out about it on my show and i'm unapologetic about that because i know by and large black men have always supported black women, that's a point of fact. that does not mean that there isn't some misogyny that does exist amongst a few, but i think that when we look at this election that's forthcoming and we see kamala harris going up against donald trump, i don't think it's right to point to that as a reason why it's eight nip and tuck race and why she isn't receiving the support that she deserves. and that is why i spoke out against what he had to say on that particular issue because i was refuting what he was saying. i don't believe that to be the case at all when it comes

stacy abrams will tell us. >>> later the former president is once again pushing false claims about the election. what he is saying now and how it is even more dangerous. the 11th hour is just getting underway this thursday night. s >>> above all else, i note the most conservative of conservative values is fidelity to our constitution. i tell you i never voted for a democrat but this year i am proudly casting my vote for vice president harris. >> former republican congresswoman liz cheney is making her full throated appeal to republicans who are not sold on trump to vote harris instead. the next guest says it may not be that simple. i am joined by stacy abrams, host of the crooked media podcast and author of the children's book stacy speaks up. it is a honor to speak to you. so much focus has been on convincing swing voters to vote for harris. is that the most effective strategy? yuma once told me something about swing voters that stuck with me, they are harder to get than people think. >> we are talking about a different category this time, swing voters are swapping from one system to

i was just talking with stacy abrams about this. listen to what he has to say, he's telling us what he wants to do. and the problem is far too many people are not taking them seriously. many voters are rationalizing trump's rhetoric and affording him a benefit of the doubt, the new york times put it this way. a lot of people are happy to vote for him because they simply do not believe he will do many of the things he says he will. too many voters have been lulled into a form of justification in supporting trump. but there is a whole lot of evidence that trump actually does what he says he's going to do. he said he might not accept the election results in 2020 and when he lost, he refused to accept the results. he pledged to investigate his political opponents and he did weaponized the department of justice. he said he would put in place a muslim banned at institute a muslim band. he said he would appoint justices to overturn roe v wade and he did and they did. all of the evidence from the last time he was president points to the fac

a run through at a lower level elections in 2018, georgia democratic gubernatorial candidates, stacy abram said that there had been systematic, deliberate, disenfranchisement for years in the state of georgia. do you think that there was deliberate interference in the election? yes, and i believe it began 8 years ago with the systematic disenfranchisement of more than a 1000000 voters. it continued with the under funding and this investment in polling places in training and in the management of the county delivery of services. and i think it had its pinnacle in this race, but few months before in may of 2018, a republican primary had to be called for do over because a number of voters did not receive accurate valid. meanwhile, on the other hand, 15 the american states allow any wants of gas to balance with valves, embroider id, no need for any documents. just trust me. i can vote. that's a major point of disagreement between the democratic and republican nominees. first of all, we should have voter id. when you vote, you should have voter id and if you send something in, you should be sure

bush and in the game more addictive with their excuses is stacy abrams is playing the trump is the racistlie reidac is blaming white men and shef doesn't believe thatco young blk men should have access to capitol. >> it's far too close as unfortunately we have a fascist groundswell in parts of the country. mainly among white men let's be clear but in small pockets among black and brown men as well. it becomes a phenomenon as women are more economically independent and assume positione of j power. >> she got me, m i'm behind the whole thing how did she know?ea >> the quest -ni- the thing iss she's losing ground and everybody knows it and something to taken for granted for the longest time and when you see individuals as groups you only go toward them when you need them her proposals include forgivable loans andhe legalization of weed.om that's umop appealing to thebr lowest common denominatoibr essentially bribing them.? if you pay off a forgivable loan you are done ms. harris. free money and free weed. that's kind of racist you wait another week offering 40s of old english and new ports.

she hosts a new podcast, assembly required with stacey abrams and stacy. i'm so me ask you about what we're seeing in georgia harry was just talking about your state just passing already more than 1.5 million people have voted early in this election, breaking turnout records left and right yesterday, the most voting ever on a sunday and turnout keeps usually goes up as you get closer to election day. i mean, you could be looking at 25% or more of the entire state already voting before even election day. it is incredible does it, does it feel that way to you and do you have a sense on the ground of who is turning out? >> we are excited about the turnout. let's be clear about that however, we need to caveat that by recognizing that one of the reasons we are seeing so many people in-person standing in lines this early is because republicans constrained access to vote by mail, because in 2020, voters that they found inconvenient that brian kemp said he wasn't pleased he used with their participation. they made it harder for those voters to vote by mail. but th

forced for change and of course, the presidential race stacey abrams, melissa etheridge, welcome to the program thank you so much okay. so stacyi want to ask you first, this is called louder. it's about women making change in music. i get why melissa is doing this, but why you, politicians stacey abrams well, it's politician stacey abrams became friends with musician selena gomez in 2020. and our mutual love of not only the arts, but how the arts impact activism became part of the genesis of this project. when she approached me about co-producing with her, i was ready to do so part of fruit, part of it for me. is that we have the opportunity to tell stories through the arts and music is one of the most compact ways to tell the stories, but it is also one of the most effective and transformative ways to engage asia community to call them to action, and to give them direction about what is possible. >> and let me just ask you, stacy, is that some was that one moment if odds and activism, music and activism, that sort of triggered you to make you feel this way. >> i grew up in the deep south where music has long been a part of bo
