• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a federal judge in California has denied an attempt to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: force a review of 20,000 ballots from possible non-citizens. According

  Speaker 1: to the judge's decision, the request by the Trump administration
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: violates longstanding constitutional principles mandating that states have control of

  Speaker 1: their elections. And denying the application for a temporary restraining order,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the judge went on to say if the plaintiff's last-minute

• 2:28
  Speaker 1: service last weekend.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Prophet and I, you know, we are living even right
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: now in what we would call a polygynous marriage. My husband,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: our prophet, he has a second wife. Y'all know her.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Y'all love her. Y'all benefit from her ministry every week.
• 2:48

• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Prophet's wife and my sister in marriage, Minister Shikala.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Minister Shikala.

  Speaker 1: While some social media users are supporting the marriage, others

  Speaker 1: are calling it immoral. During an interview on a podcast,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Ford said he began developing feelings for the woman who
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is now his second wife when she was assisting his
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: first wife during a period of recovery from surgery. The
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: couple said they prayed over the idea before acting on it.

  Speaker 1: They've been together now for three years. Senator Raphael Warnock,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: often weaves themes of morality into his messages. Well, such
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was the case last night at a rally in Metro Atlanta.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: This is a moral moment.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: In America.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: This is about the character of the country. This is
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: about who we are and whether we are here for
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: one another. And there are demagogues at the highest levels
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of our government who are trying to divide us and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: distract us in order to dominate us. But we've come
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: here tonight to say the jig is up.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: We'll have more from the rally throughout the afternoon. For now,
• 4:08
