1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael 2 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: Very Show is. 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 3: I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 3: it's a question of who bothers to show up. If 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 3: only the most radical people show up in the primary, 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 3: then I think that's going to be a challenge. If 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 3: we get a broad spectrum of Republican voters to turn 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: out in the primary, I'm optimistic about the outcome. 10 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Texas Senator John Corny. 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: I wish you all good fast and that you and 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: your friends and families stay safe during this challenging time. Ramadambara, 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: only the most radical people, the most radical people, radical people, 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 3: radical people, show up in the primary when we could 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: go today. George Floyd, a native Houstonian, was tragically died 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: in the custody of a law enforcement officer. As a 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: gut wrenching video of his death spread, so has the 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: passion and the anger among all of us who wonder 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 3: how can something like that happen. Our constitution guarantees every 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: American the right to protest injustice, and I believe we 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: all have a responsibility to stand up for what's right 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 3: and condemn what is plainly wrong. People of all color, 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: backgrounds and ages are demanding that justice be served in 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: the case or George Ford. 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: I actually don't hate Senator Cornet at all. And right 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: now what we have is a Senator who actually is 27 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: a real Republican who's doing everything that he can to 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: make it seem like he's a maga Republican so that 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: he can get through his primary. 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: But Senator Corny and this is not him. 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: This is somebody that sat on our Supreme Court in 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: the state of Texas. This is somebody who typically works 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: in a very bapartisan way. 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Unlike Senator Cruz. 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: This is somebody who is literally doing everything that he 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: can to hopefully get some of that backup age. 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: If you are a literature buff or a movie buff, 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: you know that one of the common themes throughout literature 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: and throughout movies particularly could best be seen in the 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: nineteen forties movie Gaslight. And this is the idea that 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: you simply tell someone something that's not true, that you 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: know not to be true, and you say it often 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: enough and firmly enough, and maybe with some credentials behind 44 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: your name, such that people begin to doubt themselves as 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: so maybe they're wrong. For instance, a COVID shot. Spoke 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: this morning to my own personal ear nose and throat expert. 47 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: She was my doctor before COVID and she has been 48 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: an outspoken opponent of the COVID shot, which is not 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: a vaccine, and she'll explain that, and we talked for 50 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: quite some time. We will we have edited that down 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: so that it takes less of our time this evening, 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: But in the next hour of the show you'll hear 53 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: some of that conversation. But they kept telling you take 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: the damn shot. Shut up and take the shot. You're 55 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: going to kill grandma. Are you're going to kill yourself, 56 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: You're going to lose your job, Shut up and take 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the damn shot. And a lot of people did. And 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: it killed my brother, and it killed a lot of people, 59 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: and it created a health condition for a lot of people. 60 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: There are people with chronic health conditions today. Now, if 61 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: this was the Ford pinto, you'd be able to sue 62 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: and at least there would be a fund there. If 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: this was mesathem at thelioma, or if this was the 64 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: mesh for the vaginal product, you know, people got cancer 65 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: from that. Or if this was talcum, a baby powder 66 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: that was causing ovarian cancer, cervical cancer. There would have 67 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: been a fund at those companies that were in enriched 68 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: by the selle of this product would have contributed to 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: from which you could hopefully draw and offset some of 70 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: your medical costs. But no, no, no, no, in addition to 71 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: requiring you to take this shot or you lose your job, 72 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: including folks that were in the military you can't get 73 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: back in that lived for that, or police officers or 74 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: nurses remember the nurse shortage. Oh no, no, no, you must 75 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: take the shot or you will be destroyed and shamed. 76 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: And then when we find out the shot caused all 77 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: these problems, and she'll talk about those. There are now 78 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty one studies, peer reviewed studies, so 79 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: real legit studies talking about the injuries to people for 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: taking the shot. Then there's no way for you to 81 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: sue and be made whole because oh, we gave them 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: that protection. But you're supposed to believe we can't have 83 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: the Save Act because people can't get id to vote. Really, 84 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: let's check in on our favorite NPR hippie, Wesley Cardigan, 85 00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: who breaks down the burden of obtaining identific cation to vote. 86 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: The following program is only made possible by contributions from 87 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: listeners like you. This is Wesley. 88 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: Cardigan, and today we ask a simple question, what is 89 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 4: an ID really? Supporters of voter ID say it's just 90 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: a card, a small rectangle, a photo, a name, a 91 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 4: quiet assertion that you are, in fact you. But critics 92 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: worry where does it end? First you show an ID 93 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: to vote. Next you're showing it to enter a grocery store, 94 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 4: then to pet a dog, then inevitably, to order a 95 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: Popeye's chicken sandwich, which, by the way, is delicious For 96 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: those unaware. A Popeye's chicken sandwich consists of a hand 97 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: battered buttermilk breaded fried chicken breast filet served on a 98 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: toasted brioche bun with barrel cured pickle slices and mayonnaise. Hmmm, 99 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 4: now that I've described it to you, I'm starting to 100 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: think that that sandwich may be worth showing an ID for. 101 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: But I digress. We must consider the burden. To obtain 102 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 4: an ID. One must locate documents, papers, records inconfiber, some 103 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 4: of it laminated. For many Americans, this means opening a drawer, 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 4: possibly two drawers in extreme cases, a viling cabinet and 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: what of the lines standing waiting existing in a queue 106 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 4: with others who are also standing. We spoke to one 107 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 4: hypothetical voter who said, if I can't vote without an ID, 108 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: what's next? 109 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: Remembering my own address? 110 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 4: Experts warn this could lead to a dangerous precedent where 111 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: civic participation involves preparation. For now, the debate continues. Is 112 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 4: an ID a simple safeguard or the beginning of society 113 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: where all are asked gently but firmly to know who 114 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: we are. We're at the end of our time together, 115 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 4: my friends. But I must remind you that immediately following 116 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: this program, River Moon will show you the spiritual benefits 117 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: of living in a van down by a retention pond. 118 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 4: This is Wesley Cardigan saying, so long, bring it on? 119 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: What would you do with the brain if you had one? 120 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: Bring it on? Because there is nothing here, Michael, very show. 121 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 5: We are. 122 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: We are honestly debating whether adults we're citizens of our country, 123 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: are able to get or have already identification in order 124 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: to be able to vote. The premise being if they're 125 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: not able to get identification, if they don't have identification, 126 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: they won't be able to vote, and that is voter suppression. 127 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: When I tell you, you know, I don't believe that 128 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: everybody should agree with me on every political opinion I 129 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: have just because I think I'm smarter or better informed, 130 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: or I spent more time thinking about it or whatever. 131 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I believe there is room for 132 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: disagreement on your favorite ice cream, your favorite automobile, electric 133 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: versus internal combustion, jogging versus strength training, and the vegetarian 134 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: versus carnivore. But the idea that we are not passing 135 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: a bill, the idea that we are allowing elections without 136 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: the ability to know who is voting, and that the 137 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: opposition to cleaning that up is well, people don't have ID. 138 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: It really is a candid camera moment rit large, our 139 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: entire country is going through this. And these are the 140 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: kinds of arguments that we are having in this country 141 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: that you almost have to admire the Democrats. How would 142 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: you like to wake up every morning and have to 143 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: make the argument of no, no, you can't have ID 144 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to vote, even though over eighty percent of Americans want 145 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: that because people don't have ID. How do they not 146 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: have ID? You can't adopt a dog at the pound 147 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: without ID. And you know the amazing thing about that. 148 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: The SPCA, the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 149 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: is a kill shelter, which means if they don't place 150 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: a dog, they kill the dog. Not every shelter is 151 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: a kill shelter. Among dog nuts, that's considered a bad thing, 152 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: as PCA catches hell for that, But they don't want 153 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: to keep dogs around there, so they just kill them. 154 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: It kind of strikes me it's pretty cool, pretty cruel, right, 155 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: if you're preventing cruelty, we will prevent cruelty to animals 156 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: unless y'all won't adopt them, and then we'll kill them. 157 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's better than torturing them for 158 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: a while. But in terms of you got prevention of 159 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: cruelty in your name, okay, so when you walk into 160 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: an SPCA. I have not tested this. I was told 161 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: this by a listener of Every Reason to Trust, because 162 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: he emails me every day and seems reasonable and he's 163 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: going to adopt a dog. Apparently he's done that before. 164 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: And they say to him, all right, we just need 165 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: your ID, But why do you need my ID? Well, 166 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: who doesn't have ID in the first place. Everybody has ID. 167 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: We know this. So without that ID, he's told he 168 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: cannot adopt a dog, but the dog's going to be 169 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: put to death. Again. I haven't verified this. Maybe SPCA 170 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: does not require, but I'll tell you this. I learned 171 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: a lot about this issue because my wife was the 172 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: secretary of State in Texas for the twenty fourteen election, 173 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: and that was the election where we passed our voter 174 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: ID law, our voter integrity law, and the secretary of 175 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: State's job is economic development and administration of elections, and 176 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: so there were all these concerns about the where other 177 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: people would be able to vote. So she traveled to 178 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: all two hundred and fifty four counties. She spoke to churches, colleges, businesses, conventions, 179 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: chambers of commerce, anybody and everybody. She literally traveled the 180 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: state for an entire year. It was exhausting because I 181 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: had boys who were twelve, eight, eight and nine years 182 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: old at the time and sorry seven and eight years 183 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: old at the time, so second and fourth grade or 184 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: first and third grade, and they needed mommy home, and 185 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: she was on the road for a year, and we'd 186 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: go meet her in places where we could, but it 187 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: was rough and it was amazing because traditional white people 188 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: never believed it was a problem to have an ID. 189 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: But she'd go into black churches and she would explain 190 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: it and they would say, you know, we were worried 191 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: this was a voter suppression. But this makes all the 192 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: sense in the world. And she would go through the 193 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: different forms of ID that you could get and the 194 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: seventh form of ID because there was military, there was 195 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Texas Driver's licensed Sexist identification. The seventh form of ID 196 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: is if you don't have one of the first six. 197 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: Everybody does, but if you don't have one of the 198 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: first six, you can go to a DPS station and 199 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: get a free one. Everybody needs a means by which 200 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: you show this is who I am. Okay, But here 201 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: was what was amazing when you learn that in order 202 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: to get welfare, which assumed which presumably is for the 203 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: poorest people and the Somali's running frauds, but in order 204 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: to get welfare you have to show an ID. Well, 205 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: if poor people don't have IDA, that means poor people 206 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: can't get welfare. Well, that's crazy. Then why didn't we 207 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: ever do away with the ID for welfare? Right? But 208 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: poor people do have ID? Poor people need ID more 209 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: than rich people do because poor people pull it out 210 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: more often because they're at government offices. Every government office 211 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: requires an ID. Everywhere you want to tour a property, ID, 212 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: you want to get welfare, food stamps, ID, you want 213 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: anything ID. Poor people keep that ID, and they keep 214 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: it handy because you need it. So how on earth 215 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: would you claim that people don't have ID? Do you 216 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: know why you have to do that? Because you cannot 217 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: argue that having idea to vote is a bad idea. 218 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: The only argument you can make is that's not fair. 219 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: I people don't have ID. You can't say we wouldn't 220 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: ever want you to have to show who you are 221 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: before you vote to make sure that you're eligible to vote, 222 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: and this is fair? Okay, Well I tell you what. 223 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: I tell you what. I've figured this one out. If 224 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: we have decided that you should be able to vote 225 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: without having an ID, then I suggest that you should 226 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: be able and you shouldn't have to be in person. 227 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: You can mail it in. I suggest that your company 228 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: for your next drug test should allow you to pee 229 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: in a cup and mail it in and say it's yours. 230 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: And why on earth wouldn't they? But they don't do they, 231 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: And that explains everything some of you have let me know. 232 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: You have heard just about enough of the Republican Senate 233 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: primary runoff in Texas, and I'm mindful of that. We 234 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: are living through it right now. We are trying to 235 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: beat the swamp, the establishment in John Cornyn through Ken Paxton, 236 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, and we're trying to send a message 237 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. In the process. So I'm not 238 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: going to go into that race other than tell you 239 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: that the person who wins out of that, which is 240 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: going to be Ken Paxton, is going to get the 241 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: joy of campaigning against an absolute freak who won the 242 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Democrat primary. Now. His name is James Tallerico and he 243 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: beat a black woman named Jasmine Crockett. And Jasmine Crockett 244 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: came into Congress a few years ago as this young, 245 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: bright eyed, bushy tailed black woman from the Dallas, Texas area, 246 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: Northeast Texas, and she wanted she was for good government 247 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: and good representation and a high quality of life and America, Yay, 248 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: here we go. And then she got there and she 249 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: realized nobody cares about you. When you do that, you 250 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta do something crazy. See the media doesn't. 251 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: A dog bites man, that doesn't make news. Man bites dog, 252 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: now that's news. So she started realizing that if she 253 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: would say crazy stuff, she'd get more attention. So the 254 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: more crazy she said, the more attention she got. AOC 255 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: learned this, ilan omore learned this, the whole squad learned this. 256 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: So Jasmine Crockett decides she's going to run for the Senate, 257 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: and she's going to run for the Senate as the 258 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: poster child of a ghetto woman, and she's gonna she 259 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: just she's gonna lay it all out. And it was 260 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: it was like aunt Esther on Sandford and Son, or 261 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: maybe Wanda Sykes. It was. It was this sort of 262 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: caricature of a human being that, by the way, maybe 263 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: that's who she is, but it never was who she was. 264 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: She all of a sudden took a thirty point drop 265 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: in IQ. She all of a sudden undid the English 266 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: that she spoke and went completely into section eight housing. 267 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: It was the weirdest thing. It was very weird. And 268 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: then after the first round she doesn't win the primary. 269 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: James Tallerico does. But she had a guy who was 270 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: with her all the time, and there were questions about 271 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: how much she was with her, and he was a 272 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: police officer. He was her security details. A big hulking 273 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: black guy, tough looking guy, and a lot of swagger. 274 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: He was a police officer. Well, it turns out he 275 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: wasn't a police officer. He had been he'd been faking it. 276 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: And he was also running a service where he would 277 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: send an officer to protect people, except they weren't officers. 278 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: They were pretend on fake officers, just like Jazzy Crockett 279 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: is a fake or her eyelashes are fake or her 280 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: wig if everything is fake. Well, it turns out so 281 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: too was her security detail. So he was being approached 282 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: by the Dallas Police Department, I believe was the department 283 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: and the DPS about the fact that he was running 284 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: a criminal Scheme's right after the election, and he decided, no, no, no, 285 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: I ain't going down. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna 286 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: suicide by cop, which cops never do. This is crazy, right, 287 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: one more example, He's not a cop, so he starts 288 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: trying to kill the cops who are just doing their jobs, 289 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, he ends up dead. Right, So 290 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: that's where the Democrats are the guy who won is 291 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: an unmarried We easily this guy makes Lindsey Graham look straight? 292 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 1: How about that? So this is the latest thing this 293 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: guy has done. He's put out a photo of him 294 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: eating meat to prove that, contrary to his twenty two 295 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two claim about being vegan in order to 296 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: fight global warming, he actually likes meat. But he's been 297 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: talking about being vegan, and now he got a bunch 298 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: of blowback for being vegan. So now his campaign says no, no, 299 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: he eats meat. He declared that they were the first vegan, 300 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: entirely vegan campaign, because that's what Texans care about. Right. 301 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: I have to decide who I'm going to vote for, 302 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: which one of you is completely vegan. This is him 303 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, completely masked up. That's one of 304 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: the sound is so bad touting his campaign being vegan. 305 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 5: We have, I think, heard more and more issues of 306 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 5: animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right 307 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 5: thing to do and the moral thing to do, but 308 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 5: also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight 309 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 5: climate change. It is now existential that we try to 310 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 5: reduce our meat consumption and then we try to respect 311 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: animals in all aspects of society. And so I am 312 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 5: proud to say that our campaign has officially become a 313 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 5: non meat campaign. 314 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: So we. 315 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 5: Are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses. 316 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 5: Some of you may know big nonas. They were little 317 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 5: nonas and then they opened up brick and mortars and 318 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 5: they're big nonas. But we just got our pizza from 319 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: there today. And so the point is that I think 320 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 5: all of us, not just policymakers, but everyone has to 321 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 5: take personal responsibility in this effort. 322 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: I want you to understand you don't want the government 323 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: in your life because they mess everything up. Right. They 324 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: can't even put enough staffing at the airports for you 325 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: to get on a plane and get where you need 326 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: to be on time. After they passed laws requiring TSA, 327 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: now they don't staff the TSA and there's really nothing 328 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: you can do about it other than suffer. And then 329 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: out of nowhere the government that is not securing your border, 330 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: taking too much of your money, giving it to the 331 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: Somali fraud network in Mogadishu, Minnesota. Now you've got somebody 332 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: who wants to join that government, and he says we 333 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: need to all not eat meat and we're all sitting 334 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: over here going, well, man, I don't have much left 335 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: to me. I survived your COVID era craziness because I 336 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: didn't take your clot shot. I can't fly anywhere because 337 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: I'll be stuck in the airport for hours. You have 338 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: harassed and harangue me. My taxes go up constantly while 339 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: the politicians, including the Republicans, tell me they're cutting them, 340 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: and all I want to be left. I just want 341 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: to be left the hell alone to eat a hamburger 342 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: in my kitchen, and you want to take that away. 343 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: We call him Beto with the Bible because he's like 344 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: Beto O'Rourke, the guy who ran before him, because he 345 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: quotes the Bible comply to justify every sinful thing you 346 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: can imagine. He was on a program called Raging Moderates 347 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: when he was asked about some of his past statements, 348 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and it should be noted he doesn't actually walk them back, 349 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: but rather how he presented them. So he gives a 350 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: lot of thought to how he's going to flip flop. 351 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 6: So we've got white skin gives me in every white 352 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 6: American immunity from the virus, but we spread it wherever 353 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 6: we go through our words, our actions, and our systems. 354 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 6: We don't have to be showing symptoms like a white 355 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 6: hood or a Confederate flag to be contagious. 356 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think it's an important thing to recognize 357 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 5: with all the attacks that are coming from MAGA toward 358 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 5: our movement right now, all of them depend on taking 359 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 5: these things out of context. All of them depend on 360 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: cutting some of the quotes before the end, or cutting 361 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 5: them at the beginning to kind of paint them in 362 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 5: the worst possible light. 363 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: And so fat In that case, it was a tweet. 364 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 5: That was part of a larger thread about how we 365 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 5: all have a responsibility to combat racism, and so would 366 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 5: I word it differently when I use a different metaphor maybe, 367 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 5: But I still believe that racism is wrong, and I 368 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 5: still believe that we all have a responsibility to combat it. 369 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 5: And I think it's telling when some people are triggered 370 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 5: by that. And so I, of course, looking back at 371 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 5: some of these old statements from years ago, would maybe 372 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: word them differently or communicate them differently, but. 373 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: The values that I hold are still the same. 374 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 4: Michael vary. 375 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: So it's important to understand the distinction here because it 376 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: tells us a lot about truth in the myths that 377 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: are created, So says our Chaves became the focal point 378 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: we have, says our Chav as school says our job 379 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: as everything and the real reason is, says Chavez, was 380 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: chosen to be the hispanic Martin Luther King Jr. We 381 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: got we gotta show the black people that we respect them, 382 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: that we like them, to calm them down so they 383 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: won't be revolution We'll just we'll name the worst road 384 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: in every street MLK, and we'll name some awards just 385 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: MLK everywhere overnight. Well, is he the only black person 386 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: of note, it's as easier MLK. And we'll have every 387 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: white politician say and puff their chest out as they 388 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: said as the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior said in 389 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: their speeches. It'll be real cheesy, but hopefully nobody will notice. Okay, 390 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: as if they were just perusing their notes on MLK 391 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: and came across that particular quote. Ah Yes, good times, 392 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: So says our Chavez became the name that was invoked 393 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: on behalf of illegal aliens. But says our Chilve has 394 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: hated the illegal aliens. He abused and allegedly murdered the 395 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. We're going to play a clip from nineteen 396 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: seventy four. It's clip number fourteen. Now we have not 397 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: deleted it because there is a fair use exemption. Apparently 398 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: some white liberals somewhere is going to be very offended 399 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: by this. So I'm going to tell you right now 400 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: there is a word in here that will be offensive, 401 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: not actually to you, but you'll claim it's offensive for 402 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: other people. You've been warned. The segment is a minute 403 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: in seventeen seconds long. We have not altered anything. This 404 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: is says our chives talking about illegal aliens. 405 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 7: Of some of the crews where it's now strike making. 406 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 7: Some of the scows are one hundred percent of illegals 407 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 7: right oftenly with no attempt to disguise it. 408 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 8: And so it's so so bad now that we estimate 409 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 8: sixty to seventy percent of the farm workers in California 410 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 8: of the resident worker as the citizen is out of 411 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 8: a job because of the web back. They're coming by 412 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 8: the thousands, just undelievable. See they're coming in with a 413 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 8: consent of the Immigration Service, which is part of the 414 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 8: Department of Justice. 415 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: How else did they come with? 416 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 8: For instance, know that if you go to Coachella, you 417 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 8: go to around the al Tassel area, the second day 418 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 8: immigration checkpoints. 419 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: I have been I have been amnned now for oh 420 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: at least three four weeks. 421 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 8: They're closed, they're at night, they're they're dark, there aren't 422 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 8: any patrol in there. 423 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's again. 424 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 8: We think that as they've preluded the beginning to a 425 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 8: big drive on a part of the administration in the 426 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 8: Mexican government to bring the bressero program again. It's a 427 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 8: vicious attack on the on the local worker, and it's 428 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 8: just one of those things that every business thing they 429 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 8: can get away with it. And I got this in 430 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 8: front the whole country what's happening together with a boycott, 431 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 8: and saw it that way. 432 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: So to be clear, the position of the United farm 433 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: Workers was, we do not want what he called his 434 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: work coming in and taking farm worker jobs. That's also 435 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: the word that was used by the Eisenhower administration for 436 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: the policy of removing illegal aliens from Arizona, which was 437 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: where the illegal alien issue first became such a big deal. 438 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: In New Mexico and Arizona, the illegals, the farm workers 439 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: would come up from Mexico and these guys were Actually 440 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: a lot of them were cowboys, ranch hands, and they 441 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: would come into the town they had nowhere to stay, 442 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: and they would smoke marijuana, that their drug of choice, 443 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: and they would sit with their back to the wall 444 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: in the town square and that was the modern day 445 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: Low's or home depot, and ranch owners would send their 446 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: ranch manager down to the town square and they'd pick 447 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: them and have them come out and bring them out 448 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: to work, and then they'd be done with them. And 449 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: so it was a temporary, very fluid labor situation. But 450 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: the townspeople didn't like them sitting around the square and 451 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: napping all day and smoking marijuana because marijuana has an 452 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: awful smell to the non user. So marijuana smokers have 453 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: been making people want to make marijuana illegal for a 454 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: long time because they can't just go inside and not 455 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: have to smoke up everywhere. They're their own worst enemy 456 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: and always have it. That was when you had the 457 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: huge craze and you had a young I think it 458 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: was twenty seven, director of the New Dea Drug Enforcement Agency, 459 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: who wanted to be the next j Edgar Hoover, and 460 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: so he makes this film Reafer Madness, and if you 461 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: smoke marijuana it'll kill you, but first it'll make you 462 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: kill everyone else and you'll become a zombie. And ah, 463 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: it's horrible. And there are still people, older people who 464 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: are operating under the scare tech tactic of that era. 465 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: They probably still think it was a good idea to 466 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: take the COVID shot because they were scared into that too. 467 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: But that's for another day. So now after after, but 468 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: nobody cared about the truth about Caesar Chavis. Nobody cared 469 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: that his position was actually really no different than your 470 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: average working class American today, white blacker spani If you 471 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: bring in this cheap labor that doesn't have to comply 472 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: with the labor standards, they're going to work for less. 473 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: The businesses can cut labor costs and they're not going 474 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: to pay taxes on it, and we're going to be 475 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: left without a job. And that's still happening to this 476 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: day a lot less than it used to. And that was, 477 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: Sayzar chov As. His position. His position was not to 478 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: end he was. It was not brown pride, as people 479 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: have you believe that's all a lie, but it wasn't 480 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: until it came out allegedly because we don't know that 481 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: he abused this young woman, and she comes out and 482 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: says it, and apparently there was a lot of abuse 483 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: of a lot of women. And so here we are, 484 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: thirty three years after he's died. They in twenty fourteen, 485 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: they created a federal holiday under Obama because this was 486 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: all the way. We got to tell his Spanish we 487 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: like him, right, his Spanish, we like you. And so 488 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: that's how all of this started. So here's the United 489 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: farm Workers now saying, oh no, no, no, we ABC seven 490 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: out of la. 491 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 9: Late activist Caesar chov is facing abuse alligators accused of 492 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 9: abuse of young women and girls. The allegations are now 493 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 9: conflicting within the United farm Workers Association that he co founded. 494 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: UfW says it does not. 495 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 9: Have any firsthand knowledge of any of the allegations. News 496 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 9: of the allegations comes just two weeks before states across 497 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 9: the country observed Caesar Chaves Day.
