Hey Michael Steel Podcast listeners, Michael Steel here with another quick take from the

Michael Steel Podcast. Check out what's going on right now.

Okay, we're back in the hot seat with the congresswoman from California. She is the chair

of the Congressional Black Caucus, Karen Bass. So the postal system has now been hijacked.

The attorney general basically says that he doesn't think that there's really

real instances of systemic racism out there. He doesn't get it. Voters are concerned about

vote by mail because the president has said to do that to vote by mail is committing fraud.

What are we to do? What are we to make of this? How do we overcome this? And specifically,

what is the Biden campaign, which to be straight up, I think they lost a moment. I think they lost

a moment during the Republican National Committee to have a Joe Biden radio silent every day.

I think I thought he should have been out there sort of counter-narrating against what was

happening. But okay, that's in the past now. What do they do to sort of strip away the fear?

Because the fear is not just about black folks. It's now about voting.

What do we do? Absolutely. Well, first of all, I do like what the vice president is doing today.

Going to Kenosha meeting with the family, one that Trump couldn't have done, even if he was willing,

he would have messed it up. So I'm glad he didn't. I would have been a hot mess.

Exactly. It absolutely would have been. I'm sure it will be very positive. The vice president is

not just meeting with the family, but he's also meeting with community leaders to hear their

concerns. And I think that will go a long way. And I absolutely think that's a counter-narrative,

especially from what happened yesterday. But I think that it's incumbent upon all of us.

At the end of the day, the only way to deal with voter suppression is to out-organize.

And out-organizing means that we all have to get busy. We might not be able to do it in person.
