While the United Nations voted one 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.320 hundred and twenty three to three, US, Argentina and Israel 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.640 are the chumps that were confused and did not acknowledge 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.520 that the transatlantic slave trade was the gravest crime against humanity. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.640 We still at some point need to discuss the fifty 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.760 two abstentions, largely from European countries. But on another day, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.640 also a Trump appointed district court judge ruled against Evanston 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:04.599 Illinois reparation program. Meanwhile, speaking of injustice, his former National 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.560 Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn received a settlement from dj 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.760 for wrongful prosecution despite being all up and through the 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.080 Muller Report and convicted for lying to the FBI about 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.640 his conversations with the Russian diplomat. He got a one 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.159 point two million dollars settlement. Now we're gonna get into 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:26.120 this is Briannam. The reason Christy lost her job is 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:31.040 he compliment This man is the well I'm let me 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.800 just get through it, y'all, y'all, let me still throw 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.280 to it, let me talk, let me throw to it, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.960 then y'all jump in. So this man has been moonlighting 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.480 virtually with sex workers. The selfies with balloon booths are 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.880 the least of the issues here. He has been telling 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.120 family business to folks he does not know. And can 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.280 we say hypocrisy much? Let's look at what Christy has 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.200 to say about these issues. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.039 Normally, in South Dakota only girls play girls sports. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.000 Why because of Governor Christy Nomes Leadershi. 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.200 Christy Gnomes stood up for us, passing the toughest law 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.880 in the country to defend female sports. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.160 So what happens with trans athletes? 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.280 Well, if a trans athlete does make a sporting team 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.240 and keeps a biological female from making the team. That 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.760 biological female that missed out on the opportunity will get 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.040 the chance to pursue litigation to play. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.320 There is a statistic circulating around right now that ninety 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.400 percent of South Dakota's LGBTQ community is diagnosed with either 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.600 anxiety or depression. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:32.840 Why do you think that is? 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:33.960 I don't know. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.400 That makes me sad and we should figure it out. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.600 Is that a spoof for herself? 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.280 No, that was really It turns out that she's actually 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.720 a spoof now on this. I want to know what 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.520 y'all think. This is a lot happening in the GNOAM household. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.840 Maybe it explains a little bit why she's dipping off 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.200 with Corey Lewandowski allegedly, but I am curious to know 0:07:59.240 --> 0:07:59.960 what y'all's thoughts are. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.080 I do have one immediate concern about this that's been 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.960 bothering me. And one of the pictures that I had 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.320 to see of mister Brian though, the dog was in 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.200 the back, and I believe that this is why. This 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.760 is why I believe the dog got knocked off. I 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.640 think the dog saw too much, the dogs, the dogs 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.760 saw too much. She had to take it out. So 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.840 I just want you all to know that nothing happens 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:25.440 in a vacuum. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:32.959 Manager, Oh, I know it applies, yes, sir. My general 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.720 thought is is I what people do in their private 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.480 lives is their private business. The problem with all of 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:43.040 this is this woman has made it a toward to 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:49.800 forced cause to make the lives of lgb LGBT persons 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.760 and very specifically transgender individuals that make their lives hell. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.040 And then wonders, actually partly I don't even believe her wondering, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.040 but wonders out loud, why it is that depression is 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.600 so skyrocketted amongst the community that you targeted. It is 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.840 not create It is not courageous. It's not bold to 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.520 cast legislation, to pass statewide legislation and signing into law 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.040 a law that affects what three people, two people in 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.520 her state? Who does that? Who does that? 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:22.320 So? 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.080 I just, you know, I don't know the man. You know, 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.000 God bless him for sitting through that hearing while you know, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.599 he had to hear all about the Corey of Lewandowski 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.480 stuff while she was doing her testimony before Congress. But 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.959 my guess is, you know, he probably kind of knows 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.840 what the situation is she. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.880 Was telling the sex workers about it. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.120 I mean, all I'm saying is is I think they 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.080 prepared each other for their respective centerfolds. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.520 I think that they both knew what was going on, 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.719 and I think a conspiracy is a foot. Chall want 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.400 to know what my conspiracy theory. I want to hear 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.520 the theory allegedly. Okay, so here's my thing. They both 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.440 knew what the other person was up to. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:58.800 Yeah, all right. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.319 It ain't no way that you're the former director of 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.480 Homeland Security and you don't know what's going on in 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:09.440 your husband's text messages. Right, But this information got released 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.360 right around trans Day of Visibility. And one of the 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.720 main issues that trans people have with this country affirming 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.360 their identity is that people always accuse them of being 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.920 cross dressers when they're saying, no, this is my gender 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.400 identity and expression. And so I feel like this got released. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.320 She knew it was coming, and she said, let me 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.240 go ahead and put this out and continuously undermine the 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.040 very community that I continue to rel Again, that's my 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.439 conspiracy theory, and I'm very much sticking to it. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.560 I think one of his showns put it out. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.160 Maybe, but let me tell y' all. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.480 This this is only beginning of trans issues, not just 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.080 in the country but in the world. International Olympics Committee 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:54.360 banned trans women from competing. According to BBC, the IOC 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.360 has not published the scientific research it based this decision upon, 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.040 but has stated that at the elite level there is 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.640 a ten to twelve percent male performance advantage in most 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.280 running and swimming events, and that rises to twenty percent 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.040 in most throwing and jumping disciplines and one hundred percent 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.320 in sports such as boxing that involves explosive power. Again, 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.320 they said this is their scientific research that they base 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.679 their decision upon. The problem with their decision is this 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.400 band doesn't just keep trans women out of sports. Let's 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.080 hear from Olympic medalist caster Samenya herself. 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.480 Of course, you always know it's nonsense. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:34.160 For me, like I said, I've mentioned that it's about, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.040 you know, women integrity. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.480 For you, as a woman, why will you be tested 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.400 to prove that you fit? 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.560 You know, It's like now we need to prove that 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.560 we are worthy as women to take part in sports, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.360 not the disrespectful women, but for anyone. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.880 Everyone has their own opinion. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.240 But for me personally, say, why will you allow women 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.640 to take part in sports if you're going to question them. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.640 And I'm surprised here Donald Trump is taking credit for 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.640 the decision of the IOC. Last February, he signed an 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.400 executive order that prevents transgender women from competing in female 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.160 categories of sports here in the United States. He stated 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.120 in addition that he would deny visas for any transgender 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.199 Olympic athletes trying to visit the United States to compete. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.480 In the games in Los Angeles. What are you all thoughts? 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:30.560 So, my fundamental issue with this is that politically, practically 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.560 and legally speaking, I think it's more of a red 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.120 hearing than anything else. I think it's a cultural war 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:40.160 that Republicans like to fight. There are more bills filed 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:45.000 in state legislatures across the country banning trans athletes from 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.680 playing in sport. Then there are trans athletes playing in sport, right, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.800 So it's meant to get you riled up. And Donald 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:57.920 Trump actually ran probably the most divisive, evil ingenious ad 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.280 we've ever seen, well recent and recent political history, when 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.360 he said, Kamala Harris is for they them, I'm for you. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.880 That ad pierced through and affected the conversation. It hit 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.880 a message that they were honing in on, that they 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.959 were hammering on. And what I don't see is Democrats 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.079 fighting back on grounds they can win on. For example, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.720 all right, you want to ban trans athletes, why don't 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.480 you make sure that you increase budgets for mental health 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.800 young people who are struggling. Because although I don't see 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.400 an increase in trans athletes playing sport, I do see 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.480 the number of young people committing suicide rising daily. And 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.320 no one's having that conversation. And so let's get in 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.239 a room and hash this out, I think. But Democrats 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.679 have to reframe the argument because right now they're losing it. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.520 Yeah, I'll pick up where you where you ended, because 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.640 I think that's that's that's where that's the crux for me, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.920 which is, while you are one thousand percent correct around 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.960 the advertising that was done, the red herring that Republicans flow, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.000 we still have to acknowledge that this shit is having 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:08.520 impact in a diletarious effect on the community itself. Those 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.439 you know, the parents. I mean, I think about the 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.520 ways I agonize around. I would throw myself in harm's 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.760 way for any one of my children any day of 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.560 the week, multiple times, so long as I had non 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.600 lives to live, right, think about the agony parents must 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.160 go through when they're saying, look, I don't know about 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.280 everybody else, but I know about my child. And when 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.920 you do something that is going to put my child 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.680 in harm's way, not your ability for your story to 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.760 compete and compete with other athletes and whatever, but the 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.280 life of my child, it just takes us to a 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.360 whole you know, it takes us to a whole other level. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.680 And I'll just say again, whether Democrats get it on 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.400 this or Republicans get it on this, we all need 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.840 to get it on this, which is, there's nothing bold 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:57.480 or courageous about attacking the smallest minuscule set of a 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.560 population that exists in our society. Wh will we be 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.960 creating countless laws going after the extreme minority of people 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.360 in our community. I just think it is hateful and 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.480 it's terribly harmful for the people that we're that they're targeting. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.520 I mean, these folks have always shown that their favorite 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.640 target practice is the most vulnerable and the most marginalized, right, 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.080 and that's exactly what we're dealing with here. But in 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.480 addition to everything that's been said, I think it's important 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.640 to note that so many black queer women who are organizers' 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.840 activist writers have been reminding us that black women were 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.960 never included in the definition of femininity in the West 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.760 in the first place. So so much of the transphobia 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.880 that goes against our trans siblings also comes against us. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.680 And it's exactly the reason why what Caster said to 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.640 the African head of the IOC matters so much. That 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.560 these are conversations that have to do with us. I mean, 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.840 whenever somebody wants to say something about a black woman, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.760 what do they go for? Right, They go for our looks. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.760 They say we're too masculine, they say we're all of 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.080 these things. They accuse former first lifelies of being trans, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.480 and I know we're going to talk about that in 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.080 a little bit. These attacks have to do with us too, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.560 and when they practice it on the most marginalized, it's 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:08.440 coming for us next. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:09.880 Well, and let's deal with this. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.040 Speaking of executive orders that are instigating fights where there 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.480 is no battle, Donald Trump has signed two within the 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.600 last seven days on voting, but he feels like he 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.240 has an exception. 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:21.080 Let's roll that clip. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.960 Tell me about mail in ballots going You may not 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.080 use the mail in ballot. You probably said, yeah, I did, 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.200 you know what, Because I'm President of the United States, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.760 and because of the fact that I'm President of the 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.400 United States, I did a mail in ballot for elections 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.520 that took place in Florida because I felt I should 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.760 be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking the. 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:44.360 Last few weekends. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:44.840 That's right. 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.880 And yeah, and I decided that I was going to 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.240 vote by mail in ballot because I couldn't be there 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.440 because I had a lot of different things. But you know, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.200 we have exceptions for mail in ballots. You do know that, right, 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.960 So if you're away, we have an exception. If you're 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.560 in the military, we have an exception. If you're in 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.240 a business trip, we have an exception. If you're disabled, 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.120 we have an exception. And if you're ill, if you're 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:11.320 not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.119 d C. So I used the mail and bell. But 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.560 I appreciate the question because I know, I know it 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:16.600 was so well man. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.560 You know here before the word who raised the questions there? 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.080 Her brother was my intern for a number of years. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.520 Oh, I love that shot. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.639 Elizabeth. Yeah, Land, shout out to Elizabeth. Okay, we're not 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.280 done on this topic just yet. In addition to this, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.240 you all are clear about this, but this is Donald 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.960 Trump's way around the Save Act in the event that 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.399 it does not pass, and so he also wants to 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.480 develop a nationalist completely traveling states rights. We're going to 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.280 hear from Maya Wiley, who runs the Leadership Conference on 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.719 Civil and Human Rights. 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:47.680 It's for the clip. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.440 I'm Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.840 on Civil and Human Rights. And here's what we need 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.200 to understand. Ever since coming into office, Donald Trump has 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.879 been trying to make it harder for voters to vote. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.000 One of the things he has gone after is mail 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.280 in voting. Many states allow it, and don't forget that's 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.280 what an absentee ballot is. A mail in ballot. About 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.840 a third of Americans vote by mail. And here's the thing. 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:22.280 It really helps us black Americans to be able to vote. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.359 So he just signed an executive order where he does 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:31.000 not have the power unilaterally by himself with a pen, 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:36.080 to change how federal election laws work. But nonetheless, he 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.560 signed an executive order that essentially says, hey, Department of 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.600 Homeland Security, I want you to create a list and 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.359 you tell us whose citizens are, even though that's not 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.359 your job. You know what the Department of Homeland Security does. 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.920 It decides who's over state of visa. It decides who 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.160 it gave permission to come to the country or who 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.840 does not have permission to be in the country. That 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.680 is not the same thing is saying who is born here. Now, yes, 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.000 it will include social Security data as well, but just 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:09.040 know this. The Department of Homeland Security is the same 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:14.880 department that Donald Trump and others have been insinuating should 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.520 show up at our pole sites, should have something to 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.280 do with our elections. That's wrong, but it's also an 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.280 effort to make it harder for voters to do what 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.879 States who have the power to decide who can vote 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.480 how they can tell people to transmit their votes. And 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.520 Donald Trump as president does not control the United States 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.600 Postal Service because he's essentially saying the United States Postal 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.200 Service should be basically able to look at the list 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.320 it gets from the Department of Homeland Security and decide 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:52.160 not to transfer a ballot even after a state has 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:56.359 said please send this. So that's wrong and we won't 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.560 stand for it, and nor will the courts. It's unconstitutional. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:00.719 Just know this. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:02.080 We have power. 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.080 Our power is real, so vote. 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.760 Thank you so much Tamayah for sending in that video 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.400 to break all of that down. I will tell y'all, y'all, 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.320 President's president is still a loser, and that is evidenced 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.160 by all of the rulings against him this week. One time, 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.040 for the first Amendment of federal judge ruled Trump's executive 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:26.439
