Hello and welcome to 2021. This is episode 304 in my podcast. Who's Paying Attention? I told my friend Marcus

Miller, the composer and artist who does Detroit, the theme song for the podcast to get ready to kick

ass in 2021. And he said, I'm shining up my ass kicking shoes. I love that. That's how we start this year. I'm

party, like there is zero evidence of voter fraud. But besides all of that, the Republicans,

these are the ones who are always talking about states' rights, the state's rights to ban

abortion, the state's rights to ban gay marriage, the state's rights to legalize any form of

gun or weapon you want. Oh, states rights, states rights, states rights, what about the state's right

to vote for president? Oh, no, no, we'll handle that. We'll, we'll handle. That's basically what they're saying.

They're saying that the Congress and the Senate can take away a state's vote,
