He's not saying he is a Mega gang, 105 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: but he's saying they're doing everything they can hand to 106 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: make it seem like, oh he was dating a trans 107 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 4: Oh he had turned democratic, they were doing all of this. 108 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: You don't know that. I don't know where these references 109 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 3: are coming in. 110 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: So he's not definitely saying what the you know, what 111 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: he was but what he is saying is they're trying 112 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: to distance themselves. Now here's what else he had to say. 113 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 4: And this was a joke about Donald Trump. 114 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 7: You can see how hard the president is taking this. 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: I couldn't tore down the law fro your friend. 116 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: Charlotte Kirk asked sir personally, Now are you holding up 117 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: over the last day and a half? 118 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 8: Sir? 119 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 2: I think very good. And by the way, right there, 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: you see all the trucks. 121 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: They've just started construction of the new borough for the 122 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: White House, and it's going to be a beauty. 123 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 7: He's at the fourth stage of grief construction. 124 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 3: And that is true. 125 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: We were commenting on that. You're supposed to be so 126 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 4: and I think we said this behind the scenes yesterday. 127 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: He's supposed to be so torn up over his friend's death, 128 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: and then he doesn't seem like. 129 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: His written statement after the shooting was the polar opposite. 130 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: As his verbal statement, right And you know, and by 131 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 4: the way, in the wake of everything that happened, Jimmy 132 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: Kimmel did go on social media and condemned shooting and 133 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 4: killing a person. So I do want to point that out. Also, 134 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: I don't think anything that he said but let's talk. 135 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: Let's dig a little deeper into what possibly is going 136 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 4: on behind the scenes, because apparently there is next to 137 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 4: Our Media Group, which is the largest local TV broadcasting 138 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 4: and digital media company in the US that owns and 139 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: operates over two hundred stations and one hundred and sixteen markets. 140 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,679 Speaker 4: They are focusing on doing a merger with another huge 141 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: media conglomerate, and apparently they need to get approval from 142 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: the FCC. So people are speculating that they are trying 143 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: to cater to Donald Trump to make sure that this 144 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: merger can go through. And here is what Karus Swisher 145 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: had to say about all of this as she was 146 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: talking to Anderson Cooper, and. 147 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 9: The car is rather thirsty for attention, that's one thing, 148 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 9: and it's unbecoming a public of but that's that's nothing 149 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 9: new for him. 150 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: This is what he does. I think one thing you're 151 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: leaving out is next Star. 152 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 10: Is trying to do a very large merger with Tegna, 153 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 10: and so they will do whatever it takes to satur 154 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 10: their eye some that's important, kind of a toady to 155 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 10: Donald Trump, all right. 156 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 4: So that's important because that is a merger that's valued 157 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: at six point two billion dollars requires the approval of 158 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: the FCC, and they would also have to loosen ownership 159 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: regulations that have been long standing, like barring a single 160 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: entity from owning TV stations that together reach over thirty 161 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: nine percent of American households, also guidelines on the total 162 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: number of stations that can be owned in a single market, 163 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: because that is kind of like a monopoly. And so 164 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: some people are saying that they believe that this is 165 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 4: why it's happening. The other thing that they want is 166 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: for Jimmy Kimmel to make a sizeable donation and an 167 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: apology to the family of Charlie Kirk. And I don't 168 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 4: believe that he said anything that warrants that, so I'll 169 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 4: be interested to see how this plays out. We don't 170 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 4: know if Jimmy Kimmel is suspended or if he is 171 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: just no longer going to be on the air. But 172 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: Donald Trump posted great news for America. The ratings challenged 173 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: Jimmy kim Oos show is canceled. Congratulations to ABC for 174 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 4: finally having the courage to do what had to be done. 175 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 4: Kimo has zero talent and worse ratings than even Colbert, which, 176 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 4: as we know, you know that also was recently canceled, 177 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 4: and Donald Trump was glowing about that. 178 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: If that's possible. 179 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: That leaves Jimmy and Seth two total losers on fake 180 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 4: News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it, NBC. 181 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: It's just crazy to me how the right of free 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: speech is such a big deal to the Republican base, 183 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: but then when it's against what they believe, like they're 184 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: celebrating this. Yeah, it's just horribly ironic. 185 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've even made I saw a lot of 186 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: people were reposting something that Elon Musk had said previously 187 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 4: about comics being too woke and part of what comedians' 188 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: jobs to be funny and not. 189 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: To they're anti woke there talking about christ. 190 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: Cheese, but not when it comes to something that they 191 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: that Donald Trump doesn't like. 192 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 3: Let's say that. 193 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 4: All right, well that is your Yet when we come back, 194 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 4: we have about last night where we discussed what we 195 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: did last night.

A lot of us stay at jobs 218 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: too long, We hate our jo We keep on talking 219 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 4: about how I can't stand it, but we get so comfortable. 220 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 4: And I thought about how when Joyanne Reid was guest 221 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: hosting here on Monday, we had a similar conversation about 222 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: her getting let go from MSNBC. 223 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 11: Remember this, Charlie Kirk attacked me, But if I had 224 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 11: been at MSNBC in this moment, I wouldn't have been 225 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 11: able to even report that he had ever attacked me, 226 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 11: including his attacks on Michelle Obama, his attacks on Cataji 227 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 11: Brown Jackson. What I'm relieved about is not being in 228 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 11: that corporate environment where they were literally sent a memo 229 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 11: essentially saying if they said anything about Charlie Kirk other 230 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 11: than that he was a good family man who loved 231 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 11: to debate and loved his children, they will be fired, 232 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 11: like Matthew Dowd, who was a conservative contributor was fired. 233 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: Well, to her point, we see what's happening. 234 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 4: And just for reference, the remarks that she's talking about 235 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: is when Charlie Kirk was saying that they took a spot, 236 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 4: a slot from somebody who was qualified to be at Harvard, 237 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 4: like they didn't deserve, Yeah, a white man slot, which 238 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: is a crazy thing to say, like black women can't 239 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 4: be smart and deserving and get into Harvard, like ridiculous. 240 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: But anyway, so for her, we were having a conversation 241 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: about how her starting her own thing, the Joy Reid 242 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: Show has been a blessing for her, not something that 243 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: she probably would have done because she was so comfortable 244 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 4: we want to know from you. Have you ever had 245 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: a situation where maybe you were too comfortable and actually 246 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: getting fired or laid off was the biggest blessing in retrospect. 247 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 4: We want to hear about it because a lot of 248 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: black women right now are losing their jobs, and as 249 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 4: you can see, they're losing their jobs at a faster 250 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: rate than anyone. And so how can we find the 251 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 4: blessing in this? We want to hear from you. Eight 252 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: hundred nine to fifty one fifty. 253 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: Call us up. 254 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: Let us know about the time that getting fired actually 255 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: turned out to be a blessing. 256 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 3: Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. 257 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: It's good. You are a media maven, right, you never 258 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: know what and is going. 259 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 4: To say it's way up, but Angela ye, and we 260 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: are talking about getting fired and the time it ended 261 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: up being a blessing. Now, my producer Dan says he's 262 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: never been fired, so we'll work on that. 263 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: Really, that's crazy. 264 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: I'm kidding. I do want you to have it blessing. 265 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe not, but anyway, I've been fired a couple 266 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: of times now. One time it was a nightmare job 267 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 4: that I really literally used to wake up every day 268 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 4: and be like, I dread going into this place, but 269 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 4: I felt like I needed the money to pay my bills. 270 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: I was only like twenty four and ended up getting 271 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 4: let go. It's a long story, but when I tell 272 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: you I woke up in the morning and felt like 273 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 4: the sun was shining, there wasn't the burden of having 274 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: to get out of bed and go to this place 275 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 4: that I hated. And then another time that I got 276 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: fired was the distribution company that did Eminem's clothing line, 277 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: Shady Limited, and. 278 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: They called it laid off. 279 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: Laid off and fired is like the same thing, Yes, 280 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: the same thing, but then they ended up ending the partnership. 281 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: But I think part of the reason was that Eminem's management, 282 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 4: Paul Rosenberg, he brought me into the situation and they 283 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: were bumping heads a lot. So I was more on 284 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: the side of Eminem and not on the side they 285 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 4: wanted to have like his face and logo hue on everything, 286 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 4: and they were kind of against that, and so it 287 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: was just kind of like a bumping of heads and 288 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 4: I was collateral damage. But that was fine because that relationship. 289 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: Was gonna end anyway. 290 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 4: Now, did he tell us about the time that you 291 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 4: got fired and it ended up being a blessing. 292 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 6: I was fighting from My job is a pedietary clinic. 293 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 6: Working there, I went through a lot of stuff.

All the patients, 301 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 6: all the doctors, everyone loved me. But once I got 302 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 6: let go, it was like a black thing.

And then there was a time that 516 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 4: somebody posted something and a person thought I was talking 517 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 4: about them. 518 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: I think it was a woman who had multiple. 519 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 4: Baby fathers, and I think it was a clip from 520 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 4: an interview with someone talking about it, and she thought 521 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 4: it was a dig at her and it wasn't. And 522 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: so I think this feels like a real miscommunication and 523 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 4: clearly something that she probably has her own feelings about, 524 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 4: and maybe it's. 525 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: Just a little embarrassed about. Right. 526 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: So when things like that happen, you tend to think 527 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 4: that people are like talking about you behind your back 528 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 4: or laughing at you or saying that you're dumb. Because 529 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: she probably looked at it like a meme that was 530 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,239 Speaker 4: true to her. And so what you need to do 531 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 4: is you cannot convince her if she doesn't want to 532 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: believe it that it wasn't about her. But you can say, 533 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: I apologize if you believe that was about you. 534 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: I promise you it wasn't. 535 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 4: I mean, that's all you can really do if she 536 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: wants to contine you to be mad. You can't like 537 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: convince somebody to not believe something that they want to believe. 538 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 13: I don't want to apologize because I feel like apologizing 539 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 13: emits some faults. 540 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 9: I don't think. 541 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 4: I don't think apologizing for the meme. I think it's 542 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 4: just like, I'm sorry that you think it's about you, 543 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: but it's not. 544 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 545 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 4: It's not apologizing for like you did something wrong, but 546 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 4: just be like, I'm sorry that you felt that way 547 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: and that that made you feel a way, but I 548 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 4: promise you it had nothing to do with you. 549 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 3: It's just a meme. 550 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 4: And there's a whole bunch of memes that are applicable 551 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 4: to my own life that you know, somebody I knew 552 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 4: posted it. I probably would think it was about me, 553 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 4: but this wasn't okay, you know. But and I understand 554 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 4: what you're saying, Like I'm not saying, apologize because you 555 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 4: did something wrong to her, but I'm sorry that you 556 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 4: feel that way if that's really your friend, but be like, 557 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 4: but I assure you, like I would never do that. 558 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 4: And if you do think that, then maybe you have 559 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 4: a feeling about me that is unresolved for whatever reason, 560 00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: because why would somebody. 561 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 3: Think you do that? 562 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: Right? 563 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 10: Right? 564 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: Okay, But you know something. 565 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: And I do want to say, Jenney, that sometimes things 566 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 4: spiral with the miscommunication where now it's like an ego 567 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: thing where you're like, well, I'm not saying this because 568 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 4: you know it's a simple like I definitely did not 569 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 4: intend for you to feel away.

Planned Parenthood health centers do not 611 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 10: turn away patients right, not because of their ability to pay, 612 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 10: not because of race, not because of their documentation status. 613 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 10: But they are the nation's largest provider of sexual reproductive 614 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 10: health care. So that's everything from birth controlled STI testing 615 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 10: and treatment, HIV, you know, PEP and prep wellness exams, 616 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 10: breast cancer screenings, you know all of that. And yes, 617 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 10: we do provide abortion where it is legal, because abortion 618 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 10: is part of sexual reproductive healthcare and we do it 619 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 10: proudly because that is about whether or not people can 620 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 10: make their own decisions about if, when and how they 621 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 10: become a parent. 622 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: And the cancer screenings. 623 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 4: Plant Parenthood also does that, yes, you know, preventative care, education, 624 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 4: all of those things that are really important. 625 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 3: Alexis Miguel Johnson is here the president and. 626 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 4: CEO of Plan Parenthood, and it's just interesting to me 627 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 4: at a time that the government has decided to defund 628 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 4: Planned Parenthood is also a time where healthcare in general 629 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 4: is under attack, those two things are aligning absolutely. 630 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 10: I mean the defund which we can talk about in 631 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 10: a second, that just happened this week, but connected to 632 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 10: the big bad bill, you know, the Trump administration coming 633 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 10: after Title ten, which is the nation's largest provider of 634 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 10: resources for birth control for low income communities. The Supreme 635 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 10: Court has been engaged in cases around blocking medicaid in 636 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 10: states like South Carolina, denying people the ability to choose 637 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 10: their own doctor if they are a planned parented patient. 638 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 10: So like it is literally every single branch of government 639 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 10: coming for us all the while, literally these people on 640 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 10: the ground all across the country are just trying to 641 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,239 Speaker 10: open up their health centers, serve the people who are 642 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 10: right before them, and ensure they have access because sometimes 643 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 10: planned parenthood health centers are the first point of entry 644 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 10: into the public health system for a lot of folks. 645 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 4: No, absolutely, and like you said, affordable too, because you're 646 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 4: not turning people away based on finances.

And one of the fastest ways 665 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 10: to expedite power and control is to control women's bodies. 666 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 10: We've seen that in every government where there has been 667 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 10: a backslide in our democracy, the first thing they do 668 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 10: is go after women's rights because it's the fastest way 669 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 10: to control heal to population. 670 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 4: All right, we have Alexis Miguil Johnson joining us.

But the 684 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 10: reality is, you know, sexual reproductive health care was a 685 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 10: bipartisan issue. Some of our health centers across the country 686 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 10: were founded by you know, Republican leaders and supported by 687 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 10: by many prominent Republican names that you know, family names 688 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 10: that you know. 689 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 9: Now you know. 690 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 10: The reality is, in the eighties and nineties, there was 691 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 10: a group of folks who were not actually active in 692 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 10: the political process, the evangelical community. 693 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 9: Republicans had lost a few. 694 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 10: Elections in a row, federal elections, and they were trying 695 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 10: to figure out how to what communities were not voting, 696 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 10: and they realized this group was really just not that active. 697 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 10: So they went and tried to get them active. See 698 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 10: what they cared about, you know, what they cared about, 699 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 10: you know what they wanted to run on. What segregation 700 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 10: then they were like, oh, okay, maybe that's maybe the way. 701 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, that might that's not going to look right, But 702 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 9: what else is of interest to you? 703 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 10: When they started talking about abortion, ending abortion access to care, 704 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 10: and so the alignment between a movement that was you know, 705 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 10: really grounded in you know, racism and white supremacy now 706 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 10: being aligned with you know, actively opposing abortion bands and restrictions, 707 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 10: and you know, in some ways we know these are 708 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 10: also the same bands and restrictions that impact black women, 709 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 10: brown women, low income communities, and rural communities, White women 710 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 10: who are also being impacted by this as well. 711 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 4: Alexis Miguel Johnson is here, the president and CEO of 712 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 4: Plan Parenthood, and let's talk about why is it that 713 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 4: black women, brown women, lower income families are affected the most. 714 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 10: So we know that black women are threed four times 715 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 10: more likely to die after childbirth or during pregnancy. 716 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, black contenta healthcare has been a huge, terrible issue 717 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 4: that I feel like people are shedding some light on now. 718 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 4: But then to say, oh, you can't choose your own doctor, 719 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 4: that's right, Yeah, that's right. 720 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 9: And then you take something like this defund bill. 721 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 10: So so obviously July fourth, they Congress passed and President 722 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 10: Trump signed their big beautiful bill, which I've been calling 723 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 10: the big bad betrayal of a bill, which cut Medicaid 724 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 10: for so many people in need. Right, Medicaid is our 725 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 10: largest insurance provider for low income folks for planted parenthood. 726 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 10: The defund was immediate, So that means that half of 727 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 10: all of our patients are Medicaid patients, and it means 728 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 10: that they could no longer come to a plant parenthood 729 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 10: with their insurance dollars. And for plant parenthood, it means 730 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 10: that we could not get reimbsed for the services that 731 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 10: we provide, just like every other provider. 732 00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 9: So unlike the. 733 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 10: Bigger Medicaid cuts which go into effect in twenty twenty seven, 734 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 10: conveniently after the midterms, we had to sue to get 735 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 10: an injunction. 736 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 3: I remember you said, see you in court. 737 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 10: I'm always ready, Yeah, And we sued based on you know, 738 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 10: essentially our First Amendment rights, right like they came after 739 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 10: us because of our belief that people's bodies should be 740 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 10: their own, and they withdrew resources from that. 741 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 9: So we did not win that case. 742 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 10: So as of last week, clan parenthoods are no longer 743 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 10: able to get reimbursed for the services through Medicaid. So 744 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 10: technically a one year defund, so we have to continue 745 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 10: to fight in the courts. 746 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 9: But also we know they're coming for more. 747 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 4: So now what happens, right Let's say somebody comes in 748 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 4: and that you can't take their Medicaid insurance. 749 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 3: What happens to a patient? 750 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 10: So there are a number of states across the country 751 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 10: that are going to step in. They understand that their 752 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 10: communities depend on their constituents having access to Planned Parenthood, right, So, 753 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 10: states like New York States, California have been in conversations 754 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 10: with our Planned Parented affiliate members there about backfilling some 755 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 10: of those resources. So again, it's a one year defund 756 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 10: for right now. 757 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 9: So we've been. 758 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 10: Able to pull together some resources from our state and 759 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 10: local governments to help support some of our health centers, 760 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 10: but there's no way to cover all of it all. 761 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 4: Right, We have Alexis macguil Johnson joining us. He's the 762 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 4: CEO and president a Planned Parenthood. We have more when 763 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 4: we come back.

But what would you say to somebody 776 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 4: who's listening right now and they're like, I don't know 777 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 4: what to do. I feel like I kind of need 778 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 4: to go to the doctor, but it's so much trouble. 779 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 4: I don't have health care whatever their issues are. And 780 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: they're listening and they're like, dang, I can't even if 781 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 4: I don't know how much it's going to be cost 782 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 4: when I go to the doctor. I don't know what 783 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 4: health care provider I can go see, Like I'm just 784 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 4: so confused of rights that I had that are now 785 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 4: taken away. And what would you tell them, like where 786 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 4: are some resources? How can they get started and making 787 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 4: sure that they're doing what they need to do to 788 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 4: take care of themselves because, like you said, a lot 789 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 4: of people would be like, I'm just not even going 790 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 4: to deal with this at all. 791 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 10: I'm not going to deal with it. But you know 792 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 10: the first thing you can do, you can come to 793 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 10: a Planned Parenthood health center. You can get excellent, high quality, 794 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 10: trusted care for all your sexual reproductive health care needs, 795 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 10: including the men too. 796 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 9: We got you too. 797 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 10: I think it is so important to ensure that we 798 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 10: are keeping regular wellness exams. I can't tell you how 799 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 10: many of my friends, particularly during COVID, during that year 800 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 10: when they were being laid off or furloughed or they 801 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 10: weren't sure where their health insurance would take them, and 802 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 10: they came back to Planned Parenthood for their wellness exams. 803 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 10: So I think a lot of times people think it's 804 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 10: just a like from high school to your twenties, but 805 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 10: the reality is it is we're here for you through 806 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 10: your Yeah. The second thing is I would say that 807 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 10: for all of the care that we need and want, 808 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 10: we also have to fight for it, right. I think 809 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 10: that's what these last few years have really shown us 810 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 10: in great detail, that nothing is ever settled. That if 811 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 10: you care about reproductive freedom, if you care about freedom 812 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 10: in general, it is so important that we show up 813 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 10: in this moment collectively to engage, to vote, to kind 814 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 10: of call your policy makers and say, you know, this 815 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 10: is what you want to see. That's actually how power 816 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 10: is taken back, like bit by bit. And then the 817 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 10: last thing I would say is that you mentioned it, 818 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 10: you know, like we have to be thinking about this 819 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 10: in a long term, like this is not just what 820 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 10: do we do today. You know, they had a long 821 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 10: time you know term plan to like defund planned parent, 822 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 10: to overturn ROW, and we have to be thinking in 823 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 10: the same long term strategies of where do we need 824 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 10: to be in the next fifteen years, what states do 825 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 10: we need to continue to have these ballad initiatives that 826 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 10: allow us to codify our rights back into state by 827 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 10: state until we can get back to a federal right. 828 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 3: All right, well, I love that. Thank you so much 829 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 3: for coming up here. 830 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 4: So glad that we were able to make this happen 831 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 4: at a really critical time. Like you said, the news 832 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 4: broke on September eleventh about the first circuit jeopardizing care 833 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 4: for one point one million planned parenthood patients. That defunding 834 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 4: has gone into effect.
