Rams's jeah, he is jah. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.239 I am q ward And you are now either tuned 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.680 in or tuned back in Pacific scipe. 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.759 In, dude, you are stick around. We got a lot 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.440 more show in store for you. We're going to be 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.680 talking about Sea pac Man. I never thought I'd have 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.280 to talk about that. Sounds like a lot, but it 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.600 is the Conservative Political Action Conference. It's a thing that 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:39.959 you need to know about, so I think we need 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.519 to talk about and so stay tuned, because far be 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.599 it from us to leave you uninformed. We're also going 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.680 to spend a little bit of time talking about our 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.440 way black history. Fact. Uh came across a strange story 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.720 I never learned about growing up. Funny how that works, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.000 and it was a bombing police bombing in New York 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.200 City where they bombed a neighborhood and killed the bunch 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.440 of people and a bunch of little kids. And of 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.120 course you didn't know about it. But we have this 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.840 microphone and an audience, so we're going to tell you 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.320 all about that again for our way, black history tract 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.640 first and foremost, So it's time for us to discuss 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.320 becoming a better ally BA BA. So Today's BABA sponsored 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.280 by Major Threads for the finest in men's sportswear, Checkmajor 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.360 threads dot com. All right, for today's Bob, we're going 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:33.080 to shout out John Stewart And if you haven't seen 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.160 his interview circulating on the internet, he did an amazing job, incredible, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:46.039 incredible job addressing some conservative hypocrisies and we feel like 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.480 that is in alignment with much of what it is 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.400 we're trying to do on this show. So he didn't 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.680 directly talk about black issues per se, but pointing out 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.600 the hypocrisy to. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.000 Exact, most of that hypocrisy is just aimed at decent people, right, right. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.080 And then also his whole career he's been very much 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.560 an ally. So I'll read a bit John Stewart was 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.920 with Nathan Dom and he's quoted as saying, you're telling me, 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.880 when it comes to children that have died, you don't 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.960 give a flying F word to stop that because that 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.520 shall not be infringed. Stuart said, all right, when Oklahoma 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.160 State Senator Nathan Dom tried to argue to John Stewart 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.920 that loose gun laws make citizens safer. The TV host 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.920 wasn't hearing it. He says, quote, I'm a strong proponent 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.920 of the Second Amendment. That's what the lawmaker said on 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.840 Thursday's episode of the Problem with John. Stewart goes on 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.919 to say, I believe the right to keep in bare 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.560 arms shall not be in fringe. He added, emphasizing that 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.200 it's the one amendment that uses very specific affirmative language. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.160 Oh so it's the one that uses the phrase well regulated. Stuart, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.880 who added that he's not opposed to the Second Amendment, reply, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.960 I don't want to ban guns, but you're saying more 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.720 guns makes us safe. So when we got four hundred 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.400 million guns in the country, we had an increase in 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.679 gun desks went up. Steward added, So, when exactly does 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.400 the curve hit what takes it down? Would a billion 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.639 guns do it? And then he goes on to talk 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.440 about trans rights and a whole bunch of other things, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.359 just pointing out a lot of conservative hypocrisies. Please check 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.360 that interview out. It was masterful, a masterclass and how 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.440 to shut down people who know they're wrong and are 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.800 some reason, for some reason, committed to a bunch of 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.040 dead guys that are no longer alive and their idea 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.760 of what we should be doing in a modern war 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.240 where guns can mow down malls full of people speaking 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:37.160 of hypocrisies and hypocrites and conservative hypocrisies and that sort 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.480 of thing. I got to say something before we get 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:54.480 into this. Conservative people, in principle are not bad people. 0:03:55.360 --> 0:04:01.360 I've learned recently. Excuse me, I'm going somewhere with this, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.120 QX me. I'm going somewhere with this. I'm sorry, bro, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.880 I've learned. We have met both of us, you know, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.160 you know what I'm going with this. People who are 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.600 decent people. There are people who are very conservative who 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.479 have allowed this show to be on the radio station 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.720 that you're listening to right now. Right So when we 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.599 point out a lot of the hypocrisies that we see, 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.120 we are not talking about all conservative people. There are 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.640 different There are people who have a different belief system. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:41.600 They want small government, They very much believe in I'm 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.599 going to do for me, you do for you, and 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.720 where we end up is where we end up. There 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.960 are people who believe in lots of things, you know, God, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.200 guns and country doesn't necessarily make them bad folks. It's 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:58.360 certainly not my philosophy, but that doesn't make them awful people. Right, Well, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.600 excuse me. What we're talking about now, rather is what 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.159 we find in the political arena, not your individual belief 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.279 system in your home. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.560 Unless your individual belief system and your support shapes the 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.920 way that you vote, there you go and you continue 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.800 to vote and support the Conservatives. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.320 That's why I laughed. And when you ignore the realities 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:28.039 for your fellow man and fail to heed the gravity 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.360 of a vote that you cast and how that might 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.960 have a negative impact on other people, and have not 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.720 developed or cultivated your sense of empathy for other people 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.320 to the degree that you might pause before casting a 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.120 ballot for some of these folks. Yes, absolutely you. But 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.000 you know, we talk to a lot of people who, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.279 again are conservative folks who are like, listen, man, that guy, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.160 the ex president or whoever it is that they're talking 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.360 to carry Let you know, she's a kook, man. I 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:04.200 believe in sensible leadership. My preference is a more conservative approach. Okay, 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.800 So again, we're not talking about you, those people, if 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:08.520 you know them. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.359 I mean, I guess right, we got a lot of 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.719 those people still cast those and that's that's the tough part. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.560 And then I don't care about the part that that's 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.640 the tough part of it. I know what you mean, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.359 because it's tough for me too. I miss a time 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:38.799 where identifying as conservative, gop Republican didn't mean mean divisive, extreme, racist, bigoted, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.560 And I could go on a long list. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.000 And subscribe to a detached reality that is not in 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.320 any way shared meaningfully among all of humanity. You know, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.600 people that have opinions about climate change, for instance, or 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.760 you know the morality of abortion rights or whatever. You know, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.559 and an abortion is a tough one because some people 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.200 have that connected with religion or personal feelings about it. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.480 But even those people don't carry that on. Right, that baby, 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.000 that human being that you cared so much about, you 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.600 should still care once they're born. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:11.720 Yeah, I know, I'm with you. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.680 I'm with you, care as much once they're born, anyway, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:21.080 to argue as loudly once they're born, be as like 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:27.760 Christ once they're born. Otherwise, miss me with the entire stance, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.320 miss me with the performative evangelism, miss me with the 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:33.760 performative outrage. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.040 That's where we're going. That's where we're going, because we 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.720 see that more often in the political arena these days 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.880 than we've ever seen it before. And so again in 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.280 today's episodes, we're not talking about the everyman. Rather, we're 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.119 talking about the elected official right and those that vote 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.160 for them. I am not letting you off the hook today. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.440 I'm sorry. I can't. I'm a father. Go ahead, you 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.680 hold me accountable. But you know what I'm trying to say. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:14.000 So SEAPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, is a conference 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.840 of conservative people where they get together and have like 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.800 a conservative party about who they want to put forth, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.680 who they want to support in terms of who's going 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.840 to shape the country in different parts of the country, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.520 and you know what policies we agree on, what sort 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.719 of plans or you know, uh, programs that we want 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.600 to put forward. This sort of thing. I've heard of SEAPAC, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.800 but I never had to pay attention to it until 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:44.480 you know now, I'm being honest. And the main takeaway 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:52.880 from this most recent one was that Donald Trump was there, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:59.920 Ronda Santis wasn't there, and that when Nikki Haley was 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:05.280 person who's also running for president for the potential Republican 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:10.040 nomination was there, but she kind of was jeered out 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:16.120 of the building, and she was speaking to a house 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:21.000 that was not nearly as packed as they would have hoped, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.120 even Donald Trump had twenty percent of his seats MP. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.960 So again, we're just telling you about this so that 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:34.200 you're aware of who these people are and what sort 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:38.360 of ideas they have about this country. And bear in 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.600 mind that they're going to run against potentially Joe Biden, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:50.600 which is an interesting reality. This is an interesting timeline 0:09:50.640 --> 0:10:00.559 that we're living in, because you know, that's where's somebody 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.880 need to call Obama back because we're not done. You texted, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.719 wish I could anyway. All right, So we'll start. The 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.400 main guy there, of course, was Donald Trump. So he's 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.200 quoted is saying this comes from Yahoo. By the way, 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.480 it's quoted, is saying, in twenty sixteen, I declared I 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:23.400 am your voice, Trump said to the ballroom packed he's 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.240 that term loosely with his most fervent loyalist at the 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.600 Conservative Political Action Conference, to some of the loudest sustained 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.400 applause of the night. He goes on to say, today 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.440 I add I am your warrior, I am your justice. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.960 And for those who have been wronged and betrayed. I 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:46.240 am your retribution. I will totally obliterate the deep state. Now, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:53.679 when they said it was a packed ballroom, there's another 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.920 note here that says twenty percent of the seats were empty. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.000 And of course Donald Trump was like kind of the 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:03.760 highlight of the night right. He's the are the Republican 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:10.000 favorite I suppose for president. They did a straw pole, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.480 I want to say there, and it showed that he 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.040 had sixty two percent support for the nomination for Republicans 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:24.040 for president in so that could change, but we all 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.760 know we've lived in that timeline with Donald Trump, and 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:32.080 so we know what to expect. There. A delusional old 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.560 man who is angry at everybody and makes up stuff 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.120 on the fly, has no real political solutions or anything 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.439 that affects people who live real lives. 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.360 And yet he has a lot that affects people that 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.880 positive lives, positive just in a very very harmful way. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.600 And then there's this guy's in this kind of thin 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.440 veneer of oh he got some people out of jail 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:02.679 or you know whatever proformative stuff that he added. But 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.280 those of us said, no, we know, all right, so 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.319 we won't spend too much time talking about him. God knows, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.920 we've spent enough. Let's talk about this newcomer, all right. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.200 So this comes rather from Time magazine, not from Yahoo. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.360 All right. So a former UN ambassador under Trump, NICKI Haley, 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.360 aged fifty one, got a warm welcome from the Seapac 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.640 crowd and she began her remarks. She focused her speech 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:36.960 mostly on criticizing President Joe Biden and socialist Democrats. She 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.319 did indirectly jab the former president by pointing out that 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.079 Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven of the 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.200 last eight presidential elections, and by calling for a mental 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.320 competency test for all politicians over seventy five years old, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.120 which would apply to Trump seventy six, as well as 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.559 the threat posed by China and drew no direct contrasts 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.440 with Trump. Okay, So I want to go back through that. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:12.840 So Nikki Hayley, this potential candidate for president, said that 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.480 Republicans lost the popular vote in seven of the last 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:24.160 eight presidential elections. So there's that. That is a prominent 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:30.600 Republican figure acknowledging that Republicans have to play this game 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.640 in order to hold power. They have to play this 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:43.880 You know what is that thing called the electoral college game, 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.280 which doesn't necessarily mean this is what the people want. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.359 It simply means this is how you can beat the system. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.920 This is how you can win the system, not the people. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.200 There's no way reflects what the majority of the folks want. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.600 Acknowledging that, and this is how you can beat that 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.319 system every time, because it's not going to change, even 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.600 with all all of its faults and all of its 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:16.160 holes being clear to the eye of most discerning, responsible adults, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.120 it is still going to remain the same. That a 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.360 place this small has the same voice as a place 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.240 this big. That I got further away from the mic. Now, 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.560 you guys can't see nobody I got you even in 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.680 listening to me describe that. You should be able to 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.800 paint a picture in your head because you know it 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.000 doesn't make any sense yet. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:42.520 And that's really important too, too to point out, because 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:50.160 the fact is that acknowledgment says a mouthful. Okay, Now, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.920 we happen to know that most of the people, and 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.360 most of the people who are registered to vote are 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:05.000 more liberal leaning voters. However, the people who vote most 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.680 frequently and are way more involved politically tend to be 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.560 more conservative. And this is how unfortunately, this is how 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:20.600 the country rather is uh shaped is the right word shaped, 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:27.520 you know, by conservatives and liberals, when the truth is 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.640 we should be a much more liberal leaning country that 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.080 they've taught us to fear the words that we should 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.080 be we are. Yeah, in fact we are. Based on 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.480 the human level, we are, but based on our policies 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.680 and our laws, based on laws and all their numbers. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.960 We are based on how we participate in the political process. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.080 It's a it's a toss up, right, and it's not 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.800 you guys's fault, right, people who identify in that group 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.000 that is losing this fight. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.080 It's not you guys's fault. Right. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.360 The system does not provide you with choices, options, and 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:05.200 or candidates that you can be excited about. Far too often, however, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:11.240 we also self cannibalize, judge and micro manage ourselves in 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.880 a way that causes us to kind of scrutinize on 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.680 a level that's too high when you know the other 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.800 side isn't doing that, Like at some point you got 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.600 to play this game by their rules or keep losing it. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:30.800 Yeah, and so she has to know that based on 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:36.280 that she there's a very good chance that she might 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.560 be elected to the highest office in Miland and not 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.440 represent most of the people. And that's got to be 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.200 a strange position to be. And now, if you're them 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.840 and you're holding on the power, you know, you might 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.920 be ready for that, you know. But I again, I 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.600 think that that says an outfault. I want to move on, 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.640 all right. She said she the popular vote, and she 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.880 wants a mental competency test for politicians seventy five years old. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:11.800 And I think that there's something there too. I like 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:18.240 the idea of village elders, you know, like you know, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:22.679 there's a lot of wisdom in those years, but there's 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.760 also a tendency to be a stick in the mud. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.880 There's also the very likelihood that you know, the decisions 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.480 you make now, you're not going to have to deal 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.720 with them. So if you choose to ignore your impact 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.119 on the climate on the planet, you're not going to 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.280 be around to see what that looks like, and us 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:49.719 and our children will be And so there is something 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:56.240 there about having people be examined to see how competent 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:02.600 they are. And I feel like there's there's something to that. Now, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:08.960 whether or not that's discriminatory, who knows, but it would 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.320 at least keep us a little bit more progressive in 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:16.520 terms of our ideas. But I don't think I would 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:21.199 just like get behind an idea like that and champion it. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.680 I just that's worth listening to, I suppose. And then, 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.040 of course, like I said, some thinly veiled jabs at 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:33.160 Trump and then talked about the threat of China. These 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:34.800 are all things that are kind of beyond the scope 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.120 of what it is we talk about here. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.280 But not to kind of breeze by, but shout at 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:44.359 her for having the courage, even if they're thinly veiled 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.440 shots at Trump, to take shots at Trump, right, She 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.680 at least has enough courage to stand for some actual beliefs, 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.920 even if I don't agree with those beliefs, to call 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.359 this dude out as not that's it, That's what I 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.720 was trying. That's brave, because alienating yourself and putting yourself 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.119 as opposed to him has been political suicide. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.520 Yeah, well, let's get there for those in his party 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.520 rather all right, so let's wrap this up. Haley the 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.320 first major candidate to officially challenge Donald Trump for the 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.800 twenty twenty four Republican presidential nomination was berated by Heckler's 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.680 Friday as she exited the Conservative Political Action Conference outside 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.240 of Washington. And I think they were shouting something like 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.080 we won Trump or something like that as she was leaving, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:34.399 so very disrespectful. It was Trump's crowd. So what are 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:38.680 you gonna do? Right now? The elephant in the room 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.040 Ron DeSantis. And this is where we need to really 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.960 have a bit of a conversation. Now. You might know 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.160 about Rond de Santis if you're listening to this show 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.399 this far, and I have no doubt that you know 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:56.600 who he is. He's another Republican favorite for everybody who's 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.280 turned off by Donald Trump there turned on by this guy. 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:03.879 He's not as old. I think he's like in his 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:10.720 mid forties. He's extremely conservative and he's getting stuff done. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.000 Can we replace that word, because that's not what you 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:18.680 actually mean. You said he's extremely conservative, which means he's 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.240 extremely into the way that conservative GOP Republican candidates and 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.719 political people think, speak and act. That word doesn't actually 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.920 mean that though. Okay, the word conservative doesn't mean extreme 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:30.920 racist bigot. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.359 Oh yeah, go fire me. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.000 I don't know a better word to you. Yes, I say, 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.359 when you say he's extremely conservative, as you said it, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:39.800 I'm like, but that's not what he means. 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:41.640 I don't know the better word to you. Listen, man, 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:46.040 you can be I'll be. Remember kem Peel when they 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.760 did the Obama anger translator, you can be that, all right? 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:51.600 No, no, I didn't, But I didn't even mean as 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.600 a translation, just as a you guys can't see us. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.560 I am. I listen to our show just like you, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.440 except I get to listen to it while we're making it. 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.280 And I'm an audience for ram this when he speaks. 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:12.040 So when he said he's extremely conservative, my mind made 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:16.040 me change the way I was sitting, like, because I 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.240 know what extremely conservative means, and I know that's not 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:26.360 what Rams this means. He means he's extremely politically right, 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:35.480 extremely GOP Trump era MAGA conservative republican far right political person, 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:41.120 not the word conservative. My grandmother was extremely conservative, Okay, yeah. 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:41.880 You know what I mean. 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.639 The way she brought us up, the way we attended church, 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.960 our actual core beliefs of our family, the way she 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.040 spent money, the way she saved and invested in all 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.399 those things. She was extremely conservative. Rams this means something 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.679 completely I don't know. If different is the word, but 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.880 not what the word conservative means and on its. 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:04.359 Face, Okay, I appreciate pointing that out. So anyway, this guy, 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:10.480 Rond de Santis, so far he's denounced a full on 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:15.600 attack on woke ideology for some reason, whereas like socialism 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.960 and being woke have been co opted and turned into 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.800 a bad thing. I love socialist programs people, So does 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.439 Ron de Santis, thank you. 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.720 So do all of the hyper rich, hyper powerful people 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.440 in this when it benefits them, because they use socialist 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.920 principles to benefit each other all the time. What they 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:38.879 mean is that we don't want we don't want to 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.600 collectively help poor people. That's what they mean when they 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.199 try to denounce socialism when it's rich people helping other 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.000 rich and powerful people stay rich and powerful. 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:53.640 So they social. But he also talks about like woke ideology, 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:58.359 which is I'm man, I'm woke, af I'll stay that way. 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.560 I guess this guy must be sleep Go ahead, Doug, 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:07.399 but he's he's Uh. There's a video I saw he 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.959 was telling a cheering crowd that in Florida, that Florida 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:17.000 is where woke goes to die, right and woke? You 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.280 know what woke is even progressive, trying to create and 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.480 cultivate a better world for all of us where it's 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.159 inclusive and everybody gets a seat at the table. And 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.360 he's staunchly opposed to that. So, like I said, dude 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:31.000 to Priba Sleep, I don't know. And then, of course 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.439 on this show, when we brought his name up in 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.160 the past, it was because of his attacks on teaching 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.119 what he calls critical race theory, what is in fact 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:49.680 and in practice accurate and full American history to kids, 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.120 so that we understand who we are, why we ended 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:55.320 up where we are, and what we can do about it. 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.680 And he, according to that same poll that put trumpets 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:03.400 sixty percent, had about twenty percent of the support at Seapack, 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.520 and so that could change. These are the names to 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:08.320 bear in mind, and of course we had to talk 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:13.400 about it, So bear that in mind. All right, now 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:17.040 it's time for the Way Black Historyffect. Today's Way Black 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:20.600 History Fact is sponsored by the Black Information Network Daily podcast. 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.919 You can find that out at iHeart dot com or 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:27.560 binnews dot com. And I will be reading from the 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:34.640 New York Times now Again this made its way to 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:40.320 me recently. I had no idea and so we're gonna 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:45.000 learn this together right. Thirty five years after Move bombing 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:51.480 that killed eleven, Philadelphia apologizes all right. Police helicopter dropped 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.320 an explosive charge onto the roof of a rowhouse during 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.840 an arm standoff in nineteen eighty five. The resultant fire 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:01.879 destroyed sixty one homes in a West Philadelphia neighborhood. The 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.440 Philadelphia City Council this week formally apologized for the decision 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.919 in nineteen eighty five to drop an improvised bomb on 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.639 a row house occupied by the Move separatist group, a 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.520 desperate action that resulted in a fire that killed eleven 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:20.560 and destroyed sixty one homes. I remember five of them 0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:24.520 were children. I'm not mistaken. The resolution marked the first 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.359 time that the city had formally apologized for the action. Measure, 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.520 which also calls for an annual day of remembrance on 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.399 May thirteenth, the anniversary of the bombing, was sponsored by 0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:37.600 Jamie Gautier, a city councilwoman who grew up near the 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.280 West Philadelphia neighborhood where the bombing happened. Mss Gautier recalled 0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.159 watching the aftermath of the bombing on television as a 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.600 child and said that the neighborhood was only now starting 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:51.120 to fully recover from the devastation. Quote, there have been 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.920 divisions in our city between police and community for decades, 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:55.640 and I think if we had done the true work 0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.680 of acknowledging what happened with MOVE and other acts of 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:02.080 police violence, and we had really worked on not only 0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:05.840
