37:04Now PlayingHouse Majority Leader Mike Johnson has never been a part of a competitive election. Think about that. The third man in line for the Presidency, one of the most powerful men in America, was installed, not elected.
He is the product of redistricting, gerrymandering, and an essentially rigged system. And now he’s raging at Governor Gavin Newsom for his effort to fight back in California.
In other words, when Mike Johnson does it, it’s great. When anyone else does it, it’s out of bounds. But this is how the far-right wants to rule in all matters, great and small. Do you think any member of the Trump family will ever lose access to health care? If Donald Jr. accidentally gets someone pregnant, do you believe his access to abortion will be limited?
They are creating restrictions that do not apply to themselves. They want to write laws that only you have to follow. And, through redistricting, they want to make sure that no matter how many of us vote against them, they simply cannot lose.
But as David Pepper and Lisa Senecal discuss, there are more of us than there are of them. Will their efforts awaken the beast?
Watch to find out.
