Folks, 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: we have made it through another fucking treacherous week in 4 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: these United States, and my god, I don't even know 5 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: where to start on this fucking Friday. Honestly, I don't know. 6 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: My list is so fucking long, Like it's a list 7 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: that I have here, And let me just start off 8 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: with the obvious. For those of you who may be 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: one of the one hundred million people that were affected 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: this week by the wildfire, smog, smoke, hazardous, hazardous air 11 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: that had blanketed New York City for two days in 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: a row, making it the most hazardous air on the planet. 13 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: To be briefing in, you know, I got to tell 14 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: you that I have been having so many like outer 15 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: body experiences. It feels like where I'm I'm like, is 16 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: this a novel? Like I know that I say this 17 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: often on the show. Are we the leftovers? Like did 18 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: the rapture already happen? Because when the sky turned the 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: apocalyptic shade of yellow that it did on Thursday and 20 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, I swear to god, I was just like, oh, 21 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: this is it like this is it, This is what 22 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: the Bible had talked about, This is what like, you know, 23 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: climate scientists had talked about, Like is this what the 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: sky look like right before the dinosaurs became extinct? Like 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: these are the things that are going through my mind 26 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: and the minds of millions of Americans because frankly, you know, 27 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: for those folks, and there were many that said, well, 28 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: welcome to California. You know, California has been experiencing this, 29 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: and I want people to understand that there is a 30 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: big difference between what happens in California during wildfire season 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: and what has been happening in New York and surrounding 32 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: regions downwind of Canada. So when these fires happen in California, one, 33 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: California is in some instances not into the extreme that 34 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: the wildfires have been occurring earlier and lasting longer and 35 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: coming into more populated areas, But in the mountainous regions, 36 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: in the forest regions, like this is not new, and 37 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: the issue is that the air quality was different and 38 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: it also wasn't affecting as many people because as the 39 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: wildfires were burning, they're kind of burning over less populous, 40 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: less densely populated places. That is not the case for 41 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: what we have experienced with the Canadian wildfires. One, it's 42 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: happening in a completely different region of Canada than is 43 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: used to having wildfires. Two, it's happening because Canada has 44 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: experienced the hottest spring on record, creating the conditions for 45 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: a very dry right foliage, very dry trees and ground, 46 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: making it fertile ground right for fires that happen with 47 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: lightning strikes that happen when it's too hot, and they're 48 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: burning earlier and longer and completely out of control. So 49 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: what has happened now because of the jet stream that 50 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: is going on? And I'm getting a little meteorological for you. 51 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Did I say that word right? Probably not meteor Nope, 52 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say it because I can't say 53 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: it quickly. But the reality is that because of the 54 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: jet stream, because of climate change, because of the hotter weather, 55 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: the warmer climate, we are locked in. Over one hundred 56 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: million people are locked in to this pressure system that 57 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: is not going to be lifting for a few days. 58 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: And when folks are saying like, oh well, it's just 59 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: like a fireplace burning, like it's not a big deal, 60 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: it's just like a bonfire. Well, let me ask you something. 61 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: If you've ever lit a fireplace or have a fireplace 62 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: in your home, and one you check to make sure 63 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: that the shoot is actually cleaned out right, because why 64 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: you don't want that backed up smoke to be coming 65 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: inside of your house. You want it to be leaving 66 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: and going out of the house through the chimney. Well, 67 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: if that smoke were to come inside of the house, 68 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: what are you going to be doing. You're going to 69 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: open up windows, right, You're going to potentially leave, depending 70 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: on how much smoke is there. And with chimneys that 71 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: is burning wood. When we're talking about wildfires, you're talking 72 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: about pesticides, you're talking about chemicals, you're talking about rubber. 73 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: You're talking about a whole bunch of fucking particles going 74 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: into the air that get into our lungs and our 75 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: bloodstream that aren't good for our body. Just like you 76 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't sit inside of a burning house and say, oh, 77 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: it's warm in here, you don't sit outside during a 78 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: time when the air quality index is reporting unhealthy and 79 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: or hazardous, And it doesn't matter whether or not you 80 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: have underlying conditions. They have told us that when the 81 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: air Index says unhealthy or hazardous. It is bad for everybody, 82 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: not just people with underlying conditions. And the worst part, folks, 83 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: is that the masks that we have, unless you have 84 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: a cane nineten five mask, are not helpful right for 85 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: the outdoors. And so I just want people to understand 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: that this actually is a big deal, right, that it 87 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: isn't something to laugh out. And I think that a 88 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: lot of us laugh because we're scared because we don't 89 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: actually know what the fuck else to do when the 90 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: sky turns orange and it feels like we are on 91 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: Mars and not on Earth. And in the conversations that 92 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: I've had as of late with climatologists and environmental scientists 93 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: and what have you, is the question that I'm asking, 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: is this going to be our new normal? Like are 95 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: we going to be entering into seasons in areas, geographical 96 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: locations of the country that don't normally experience these things 97 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: where we're going to be forced indoors because the air 98 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: is going to be that unsafe. And their response was yes, 99 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: And we don't know how long it will last, We 100 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: don't know when it will happen. It's not like there 101 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: were predictors for this, you're literally following the wind. And so, 102 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: you know, just this experience over the last couple of 103 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: days had led me to my feelings around my first fucket, 104 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: which is, fuck it to the Republican Party, fuck it 105 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: to these politicians that are making drag queens and trans 106 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: athletes a priority and not the fucking air we breathe 107 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: like you know all I imagine, And somebody had posted 108 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: this underneath the TikTok video that I did the other day, 109 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: when they said, you know, they won't do anything. They'll 110 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: just hand out respiratory mass, but only right to their donors, 111 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: that's what it will look like. And the rest of us, 112 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: they'll say, let them eat cake, let them chew the air, 113 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: and send them off to work, right because the economy. 114 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: So it's just a wild fucking place that we are. 115 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: When I was reading and read sci fi novels and 116 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, watch sci fi movies, and I think to myself, well, 117 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: in reality, that would never happen because politicians and the 118 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: president and people would totally intervene in you know, before 119 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: we got to parable of the sower levels where it 120 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: never rains anymore, where like water is a commodity, and 121 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: you know where you have to go indoors certain times 122 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: of the day because of the sun, because of the heat, 123 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: because it's piercing. It's not just like oh, sun tanning weather. 124 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: It's like you're skin could actually bubble up. I folks, 125 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you some days it hits me worse 126 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: than others when I realize how far we have fallen, 127 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: just how much of a dystopia America has become because 128 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party, and until enough of us decide 129 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: that this is not how we want to live, right, 130 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: like this is preventable. You can say, like, oh, well, 131 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: forest fires happen, and wild fires happen. Uhah, yeah they do, 132 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: but they don't spread as quickly, they don't burn as long, 133 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: and they don't happen as early as they do now 134 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: because of our warming fucking climate. And I just want 135 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: to take again New York City as a microcosm because 136 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: I'm living here. You saw airport delayge, you saw school closures, 137 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: you saw games canceled, and consistent amount of reports coming 138 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: in to urge people to stay inside. Talk about what happens, right, 139 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: if you only care about the fucking economy, talk about 140 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: what happens when that becomes the norm, when travel becomes 141 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: almost impossible because you can't predict the type of turbulence 142 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: that is going to take a plane down because of 143 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the jet streams that have gotten crazier, right, and more 144 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: unpredictable because of climate change, because of the heat. Now, 145 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: scientists have been saying air travel is going to get 146 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: increasingly dangerous because of what we are seeing. So this 147 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: is going to affect everyone, everyone, and everything. Kids are 148 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: not going to be able to go to school. It's 149 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: not even going to be about oh well, no outside activities. 150 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be about you can't leave your home 151 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: because it is that unsafe. Like imagine instead of tornado 152 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: alerts or hurricane alerts that it's telling you, guess what, 153 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: you're locked inside. We're on quote unquote lockdown again, quarantining 154 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: inside for days, weeks on hand until the air changes 155 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: and is safe for people to go outside. Folks, it's 156 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: not a joke, and I know that those of you 157 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: that listen to the show and follow me recognize that. 158 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: But I just want you to feel less alone if 159 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: you're the one in your family or in your home 160 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: that's like, don't go outside, wear a mask, like, you know, 161 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: let's be safe, and everyone else is looking at you like, oh, 162 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. I'm with you. 163 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: Next up on my list of fuck it's Lord Jesus. 164 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike Pence's announcement for president, shall we? 165 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: First of all, the man makes communion wafers look delicious 166 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: and exciting, and that's saying a lot. And he goes 167 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: and does his town hall after his horrible press conference 168 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: and his bullshit video that he puts out where he 169 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: has headlines attacking drag and trans people and talking about 170 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: a return to traditional values and what God wants. And 171 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: I believe that this United States were founded on, Oh 172 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, religious freedom, not their freedom to oppress 173 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: other people with your Bible and your verses, but the 174 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: freedom for all people to live how they would like 175 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: to live. Right, that's not at all what Mike Pence's 176 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: understanding is of the constitution or of the values of 177 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: this country. And that was evident, and it was even 178 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: made clearer in his conversation with Dana Bash on CNN 179 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: where CNNs decided to platform all of these Republicans, which, 180 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: by the way, there is really no difference between them 181 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump, not even they can discern what the 182 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: difference is between them and Donald Trump, except for the 183 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: fact that maybe they're not under indictment. Dana Bash asked, 184 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, as Mike Pence is trying to distinguish himself 185 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: from his former boss, the man who tried to have 186 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: him killed by the constituents that Mike Pence now finds 187 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: himself trying to court. She says, well, if Donald Trump 188 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: becomes the nominee, even though you're saying here right now 189 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: that no one that puts himself above the Constitution or 190 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: ask somebody else to put themselves above the Constitution, should 191 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: ever be able to be president again. If he's in 192 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: fact the nominee, are you supporting him? And Pence was like, yes, 193 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: because I'll support the Republican nominee. So you've made you 194 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: opened up your entire presidential run on the fact that 195 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: you quote unquote kept your oath, but you're willing to 196 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: once again swear allegiance to a man that you're saying 197 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: broke his oath to the Constitution and to the American 198 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: people because he has an R after his name. So 199 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: that is what you call leadership, sir. I don't fucking 200 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: think so. And it's just like, it's amazing to me 201 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: when you look at the field of Nicki Haley, who 202 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: is a transphobe and a hate mongerer and a liar 203 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: in her town hall where she made up lies about 204 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: cisteen girls suicide rates having something to do with trans students, 205 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: when in fact, there are about one hundred transathletes in 206 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: the entire fucking country and somehow that's what's sending sis 207 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: teen girls suicide rates through the roof. It's not. And 208 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: let us be clear, and we've talked about it on 209 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: this show that teen emotional health and well being is 210 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: actually declining at an alarming rate and is the silent 211 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: pandemic that we're not talking about. And so it's a 212 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: real issue. And the fact that Nicki Haley would use 213 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: her ninety minutes of fame to make up a lie 214 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: about something that is very real just shows you again 215 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the character of these people. There is no daylight between 216 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: them and Donald Trump. So when the mainstream media wants 217 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: to say that a Chris Christie, who has shown the 218 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: only backbone so far in the bunch that is willing 219 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: to actually call Donald Trump by his name and call 220 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: him out when they say that, oh, these are the moderates. 221 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: You have pulled us so far to the fucking right 222 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: that you think that Mike Pence is a fucking moderate? 223 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You think that Nikki Haley is 224 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: a moderate? Are you fucking dumb? These people were inside 225 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration support every single Trump policy, are 226 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: using right the copycat terms of being anti woke and 227 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: having a war on wokeism, and can't fucking define it. 228 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: They are all right this same version of each other. 229 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: There is no one that is moderate in this bunch 230 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: because they would not make it. And many of these 231 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: motherfuckers are not even going to make it to debates 232 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: stage because they're in single digits. Right. The only person 233 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: that may in fact have some place to challenge Donald 234 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: Trump for real for the Republican nomination is rond De Santis, 235 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: and stories just broke this week that he is fucking 236 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: trailing in the polls. Since his announcement, his poll numbers 237 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: have taken a fucking nosedive over the last two weeks. 238 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: That's not what people want when they announce for president. 239 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: It is probably the highest that your poll numbers will 240 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: be because people are now excited about what it is 241 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: that you have to offer. That's not the case for 242 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Rond De Santis, who Donald Trump is leading by I 243 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: don't know thirty fucking points. So the only thing that 244 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: these motherfuckers can pray for at this point is that 245 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice does drop their indictments and that 246 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: we see justice a lot quicker than the Republican nomination process. 247 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: So for that, I say fuck it to Mike Pennce, 248 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: fuck it to the entire Republican primary field, because you're 249 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: the same fucking clown right. You just don't have the 250 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: temerity to actually take on Donald Trump to his face 251 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: because your chicken shit of his fucking vile and violent supporters, 252 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: and you're worried about what they will do to you 253 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: if you go after their fucking king, which says more 254 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: about you, and it says a lot about the people 255 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: that you have been gassing up over the last seven 256 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: years to do your bidding. So for that, fuck it 257 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: to the entire Republican field. Next up, folks, I also 258 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: want to talk about, first of all, the Supreme Court. 259 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: So the Supreme Court has come back with the decision 260 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: this week where they surprised everyone in holding up this 261 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: status quo. So again from mainstream media that wants to 262 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: hail this as a victory for the Voting Rights Act, 263 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: which they completely and totally hobbled right with gutting preclearance 264 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: in saying Chief Justice John Roberts saying that you know, 265 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: America is passed preclearance and apparently pass racism. And then 266 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: the minute that that came out, every single racist state 267 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: that was required to get pre clearance before creating new 268 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: voting rights laws, right went straight back to racism in 269 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: the blink of a fucking eye. So fuck you, Chief 270 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: Justice John Roberts, all the way to hell for that 271 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: and so many other fucking things that you've done during 272 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: your tenure. But more importantly, in this case that was 273 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: brought up by went through the lower courts in Alabama 274 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: because Alabama decided to change and jerry mander their congressional maps, 275 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: taking those seats for Democrats from to one and condensing 276 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: all black voters essentially into having one representative, essentially erasing 277 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: their voice and their power in the body politic. And 278 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: so this case was brought by the NAACP, LDF and 279 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: others right and basically stating that the decision was racist 280 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: and that it robs black people of their vote and 281 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: of their power. So, in a surprise five to four decision, 282 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: with Kavanaugh and Chief Justice Roberts siding with the progressive 283 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: side of the bench, they decided to uphold the lower 284 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: court's decision and basically tell Alabama you need to go back, 285 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: literally to the drawing board and try and leave your 286 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: racism and the wide out out. And so people are 287 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: hailing this like, oh my god, this is so wonderful. Folks, 288 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: don't fall for the fucking ropodote. Why do you think 289 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: that Justice Kavanaugh and Chief Justice Roberts decided to side 290 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: with the liberal side of the court. Maybe it has 291 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that their poll numbers and 292 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: people's you know, sense of the Supreme Court is in 293 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: the fucking toilet. Maybe it's because every time that we 294 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: have uttered the word the Supreme Court these days, and 295 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: it's followed by Arence Thomas, and we're thinking about just 296 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: how fucking criminal and grifting that court is and how 297 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: it has been bought and sold by Republican and conservative 298 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: billionaires over the last few decades, and that there is 299 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: no check and balance for the court. And so guess 300 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: what in the perception of the people's eyes in this country. 301 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court no longer should have the kind of 302 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: power that it does. And so in order to do 303 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: a little pr spin and give the perception, not the reality, 304 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: that this court is being dictated by the law and 305 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: the law alone, I think that Chief Justice Roberts and 306 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: Justice Kavanaugh decided to throw the American people a bone. 307 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: You see, we're not that bad. We won't gut everything 308 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: because now people are hipped to their fucking tricks. So 309 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: if we think that somebody had a change of heart 310 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: or that this is signaling a new path for the 311 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, wake the fuck up. That ain't it. This 312 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: was a cya move right and so so, as Melissa 313 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: Murray said to me on Twitter, and you see her 314 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: as an MSNBC legal analyst and has joined this program 315 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: many times, she said that we shouldn't have to settle 316 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: for shards of freedom, right, we shouldn't have to settle 317 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: for chards of justice. And that is exactly what the 318 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court just doled out. So for them, and for 319 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Roberts and all of the grifting motherfuckers that 320 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: are on the bench, I say fuck you and fuck 321 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: them for this week. To round it out, my dear friends, 322 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: let's turn to sports for a minute, which I never 323 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: really talked about on this show at all, unless it 324 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: has to do with politics, which in this case, of course, 325 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: it does. Saudi Arabia, a Saudi backed sports company, Live, 326 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: has decided to merge with the PGA, and there was 327 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: incredible backlash to that on social media that the PGA 328 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: would dare to enter into a partnership with this authoritarian 329 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: and fascist regime that we know, you know, kills journalists 330 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: like Jamal Kashogi, you know, Rob's women of their bodily autonomy, 331 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: civil liberties, and you know, hates the gays, and the 332 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: list goes on and on and on. But you know, 333 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: their pockets are deep, so our values go out the 334 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: window because we're capitalists and fucking greedy. So the PGA 335 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: is now linking arms. And you know, all I can 336 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: say is, you know all of the things that I 337 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: listed out, and the human rights violations and the murders 338 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: of journalists, and you know all of those things. I 339 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: think that the Saudis not only are playing the long 340 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: political game in the United States, I also think that 341 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: they no longer see the United States. I think that, 342 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: based on the movements of the Republican Party, that they 343 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: see America these days more aligned with their values than 344 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: with our founding values. Right, we are sitting around here 345 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: persecuting gay people, criminalizing transgender folks, erasing black people, taking 346 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: away the body, the autonomy of women and people with uteruses, 347 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: overturning voting rights, instituting fascist book bands. We have more 348 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: in common with our supposed enemies in terms of how 349 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: our policy and our politics have been moving, then we 350 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: have differences. And I think that the Saudis see that 351 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: if they come in and they start to buy up wrestling, 352 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: buy up golf, and probably buy up you know, the 353 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: NFL and other American pastimes, then they're going to be 354 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: able to, little by little, right gain real clause into 355 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: our political system, into our American system, right by using 356 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: sports as a way to sports wash their fucking bad policies. 357 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: But again, their policies seem more aligned with today's Republican 358 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: Party and what they're doing around a majority of the 359 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: country than anything else, and that should scare the shit 360 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: out of us.
