CORNISH I want to ░░░░░░░░ one more question because ░░░░░░░░ Trump actually signed an ░░░░░░░░ order tasking DOGE to ░░░░░░░░ look at state voter ░░░░░░░░ This obviously looking for ░░░░░░░░ nationals I know that ░░░░░░░░ actually enacted a bill ░░░░░░░░ you authorized that prevents ░░░░░░░░ from requiring IDs at ░░░░░░░░ places MIN Yes CORNISH ░░░░░░░░ seems like this is ░░░░░░░░ to be on a ░░░░░░░░ course with federal law ░░░░░░░░ is happening with sanctuary ░░░░░░░░ This was happening with ░░░░░░░░ things So what is ░░░░░░░░ are you preparing for ░░░░░░░░ fight Like what s ░░░░░░░░ conversation MIN So so ░░░░░░░░ bill I passed would ░░░░░░░░ cities as you mentioned ░░░░░░░░ passing their own unique ░░░░░░░░ ID requirements The idea ░░░░░░░░ that the state should ░░░░░░░░ its own uniform policies ░░░░░░░░ I continually asked Huntington ░░░░░░░░ which was the source ░░░░░░░░ this problem they tried ░░░░░░░░ pass their own voter ░░░░░░░░ requirements based on the ░░░░░░░░ claim that the 2020 ░░░░░░░░ was stolen I said ░░░░░░░░ me any evidence that ░░░░░░░░ s any voter fraud ░░░░░░░░ I will CORNISH But ░░░░░░░░ those kinds of laws ░░░░░░░░ going to be at ░░░░░░░░ with the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ its push MIN Yes ░░░░░░░░ To put in place ░░░░░░░░ time voter ID rules ░░░░░░░░ Yes CORNISH That we ░░░░░░░░ say a Pew poll ░░░░░░░░ 81 percent of Americans ░░░░░░░░ MIN Yes CORNISH Requiring ░░░░░░░░ ID to vote MIN ░░░░░░░░ No and so what ░░░░░░░░ m saying is is ░░░░░░░░ we this needs to ░░░░░░░░ done by the legislature ░░░░░░░░ by the president not ░░░░░░░░ cities It needs to ░░░░░░░░ done by Congress And ░░░░░░░░ Congress wants to pass ░░░░░░░░ voter ID requirement we ░░░░░░░░ talk about the pros ░░░░░░░░ cons of that but ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be based ░░░░░░░░ false baseless conspiracies of ░░░░░░░░ voter fraud that aren ░░░░░░░░ isn t happening This ░░░░░░░░ a solution in search ░░░░░░░░ a problem that doesn ░░░░░░░░ exist And and that ░░░░░░░░ the problem right now ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump cannot pass ░░░░░░░░ types of executive orders ░░░░░░░░ powers belong with Congress ░░░░░░░░ that s the alarm ░░░░░░░░ that I ve been ░░░░░░░░ that every time Donald ░░░░░░░░ tries to do an ░░░░░░░░ order and and pass ░░░░░░░░ effectively he is stealing ░░░░░░░░ authority But Congress refuses ░░░░░░░░ stand up for our ░░░░░░░░ And my kids know ░░░░░░░░ We re taught in ░░░░░░░░ school in California that ░░░░░░░░ Congress has the power ░░░░░░░░ make laws and to ░░░░░░░░ money And that s ░░░░░░░░ the issue here is ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and Elon ░░░░░░░░ keep trying to steal ░░░░░░░░ those powers and Congress ░░░░░░░░ rolling over and letting ░░░░░░░░ do that.”
