Nonetheless, folks, I am recording 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:41.360 this before the debates happen, so this is not going 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.720 to be a debate show. But I do tell you 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.159 to head over to The New Abnormal, my show with 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.239 Andy Levy, where we are going to talk about what 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.680 we saw in the debates. So if you don't already 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.000 listen to The New Abnormal, which you totally should and 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.640 can get anywhere you get your podcasts, that show I will. 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:05.040 You will get my immediate reactions to what we saw. Nonetheless, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.560 I want to talk today, on this fucking Friday, about 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.839 the decisions that have come out of this Supreme Court 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.080 this week. And they're not done. They're not done fucking 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.039 up this country yet, because they still coming for us 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.600 on Monday with more hot shit. But folks, you know 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.440 I continue to say this and I've said it so 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:28.560 many times on social media that if you are not 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:34.440 a person that has been anxious with knots in your stomach, 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.400 waiting on opinions for the Supreme Court to decide whether 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.280 or not you live or die, whether or not your 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.080 marriage is still valid, whether or not you know you're 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.720 able to sue those that do harm like you were 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.400 part of the very privileged class right because for the 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:55.880 rest of us, watching this weaponized, radicalized right wing, fucking 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.640 chrysto fascist Supreme Court is terrifying. I'll tell you what 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.800 a little tidbit. I went to a new dentist this week. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.160 And I go to the dentist and you know, on one 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.000 of the forums, they're like, oh, you know, what do 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.040 you do for a living? Right, like what's your employment? 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.000 And I put down political strategists, And I have to 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.280 remind myself I need to change it to something else 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.320 when I go, because when I do that and actually 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.280 say what it is that I do, as opposed to 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.160 like podcaster or like whatever. When I say the fullness 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.079 of what I do a political strategist, people want to 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:34.000 have conversations. And so my dentist was like, oh, political 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.359 strategists say, how are you feeling? Like blah blah. He's like, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.600 cause I'm fucking terrified. And so we started talking about 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.960 the decisions coming down from the Supreme Court and all 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:48.600 of these things. And you know, when I tell you that, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.360 I am talking to so many different kinds of people, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.920 so many different groups of people, and there is not 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.040 one group that is saying like, oh, don't worry. You know, 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.240 I feel really good about where we are and I 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.400 feel good about our chances. Not one fucking person do 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.960 I talk to that. That is their response. I told 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.359 you about going to the White House this week, right 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.040 to celebrate pride, and my issue and feelings about doing 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.680 that of feeling you know, very conflicted. Right, And so 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.560 I'm there, and I'm at the White House and I'm 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.640 seeing lots of old friends and colleagues and you know, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:31.320 talking to folks, and there was this air of both 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:38.320 I don't know, I would say, happiness and joy, you know, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.960 to celebrate pride in this big manner at the White House. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.280 It was on the South Lawn, huge guests and just 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.200 like lots of kids running around and hot dogs. It's 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.520 just like one big family picnic, is the way that 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.200 they do lgbtqwo pride at the White House these days, 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.200 and it's wonderful, right, it's a beautiful experience. But a 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.440 lot of us attended with our conflicts, and we attended 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.680 because many people were saying that this could in fact 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.480 be the last pride that we ever see at the 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.520 White House ever again. And so to see the images 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:21.720 of the columns of the White House covered in rainbow flags, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.600 to see you know, the full inclusive LGBTQ flag flying 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:34.560 right on government buildings all around DC, like you realize 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:40.320 that this can all go away? Why because it did before, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:46.800 right they took down the LGBTQ site on white House 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.360 dot gov. When Donald Trump was in there, there were 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.600 no celebrations that were at the White House for different 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.120 communities at all. You know, for every month there is 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.839 a series of celeb whether it is Black History Month, 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.160 whether it is Asian Pacific Islander Month, whether it's women's 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:12.080 you know, like there are always celebrations, right to recognize 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.600 different groups and to have, you know, to give them 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.200 an opportunity to feel right like, this White House is 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.960 actually the people's house, all people's homes. So when you 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.520 look at the ways in which this Supreme Court and 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:32.719 the Republican Party is working over time to ensure that 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.760 we know in no uncertain terms that this country is 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.960 for white men only, and that everything that they are doing, 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.880 whether it is the attacks on DEI, the attacks on 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.880 trans youth, the attacks on LGBTQ people, the attacks on women, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.880 so on and so forth, is to make it very 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.320 apparent that if you do not fall into their protected 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:09.480 class of being wealthy, powerful, sis, hetero white Christian quote 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:17.560 unquote men, then you do not belong. I was listening 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.839 the other fucking day to a clip of Jesse Waters, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.680 that fucking dingbat motherfucker who sits on Fox News and 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.960 runs off his mouth about a whole host of things 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.960 that he doesn't know about, doesn't understand, but gets paid 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.719 millions of dollars to lie to millions of people on 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.360 a regular basis. Refer to Vice President Kamala Harris and 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.680 the Biden administration as a DEI administration. And I gotta 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.760 tell you because they use the word DEI right, like 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.760 that acronym as a replacement for what they really want 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.279 to say, which is the N word. And I'm like, say, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.800 what's your fucking chest? If that is what you want 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.760 to say you don't need to use dog whistles anymore, 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.840 because the hoods are often we know who the fuck 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.560 you are, right and how you all are re maneuvering. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.080 You don't want black people, women, queer people, or anyone 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.400 that is getting even an inch closer to having a 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.200 seat at the fucking table of this country, and in 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:21.960 any decision making power, you want it ripped away. And 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.400 so your code for that is DEI because you believe 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.160 that the only people that should ever have power, that 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.480 should ever have authority, and that quote unquote earned it 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.480 is white men. Let me tell you about a group 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.560 that I know that hasn't earned a fucking thing. And 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:44.120 I say that and I mean it because without the obstacles, 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.080 without the gate keeping right, I would like to see 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.960 exactly how competitive white men in this country would be, 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:58.160 because every other group has had to climb over obstacle 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:03.320 after obstacle, basically run a fucking steeplechase just to survive. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.000 And the people that have been making the laws since 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.640 the beginning of time have been white men who own property, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:19.880 whether that property was people, enslaved people, their wives right, 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.960 or actual what we consider in modern times, property, but 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:33.959 without the ability to bar other people from opportunities for generations, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:40.160 where would white men be. It's a real fucking question, right, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:47.440 if having to compete on merit alone, No lies about 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:52.280 who invented what right, No blocking women and black people 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.560 and people of color from universities, barring them from voting. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.560 This is the question that we never ask because they're 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:07.320 too busy covering up and lying about the dirt that 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.960 has been done so that they can stay on top 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.720 of the pyramid. Because what they don't want is for 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.040 you to peel back the layers and to ask those 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.800 critical questions. So what do they do They get rid 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:28.400 of critical thought? Oh that's banned, right, This is damn 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.640 near nineteen eighty four. Up in this bitch with the 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.640 thought police. You think it too much, you're out of here. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.400 Just keep your head down, your mouth closed, and your 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.480 eyes closed. Right will tell you where to go. And 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.559 so I say that very real because I want people 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:52.000 to really consider. Right, you have white supremacist men like 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:57.160 Elon Musk and Donald Trump talking about DEI talking about this, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.360 that and the other thing, and people who are undeserving. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.240 I can think of no other group of people that 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.600 is undeserving than those that have made their wealth their 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.320 name off of the backs of other people. So without 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:14.840 being handed everything, where would these men be, without having 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:20.840 the ability to manipulate laws to protect their greed, Where 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.640 would they be? I can tell you where I believe 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.439 that the rest of us would be. With the ability 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.920 to afford homes right, having built up communities that weren't 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.240 burned to the ground by crazed white mobs, black people 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.160 would have had generational wealth, right, But with generational wealth 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.080 comes actual power, and they did not want us to 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.640 have that. People always say, well, why can't black people 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.320 do for themselves? Oh no, no, no, they fucking did, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.440 and they build grocery stores and barbershops and businesses throughout 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.440 this country, and they were terrorized and lynched and beaten 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.520 and dismembered and run out of town because of it. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.680 The very last survivors of the Tulsa massacre were just 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.520 denied the hearing of a case. These one hundred year 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.480 old people, the least surviving witnesses to the atrocities that 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:24.200 were hidden for generations, were denied their hearing to call 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.760 for reparations. So the question has always been, oh, what 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.280 do these communities do for themselves? Oh? No, There are 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:36.800 fucking books upon books upon books upon books that can 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:41.520 lift up the work that black people had done and 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.000 have continued to do to build out their communities into 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:51.079 thriving spaces until the klu Klux Klan, the White Citizens' 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.040 Council and craze white mobs who did not want to 0:11:55.120 --> 0:12:01.000 compete murdered them and ran them out of town. These 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.120 are the histories that they do not want you to 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.840 know because it doesn't fit into the narrative of laziness 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:13.680 of racial superiority. So what this Supreme Court is doing 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:20.720 is what has always been done, the protection of white, rich, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:26.000 cis hetero men and their property and the stripping away 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.560 from those that they don't believe are deserving because you see, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.520 affirmative action and all of these other laws that were 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:37.360 put into place were to combat the generations of laws 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.480 that have been on the fucking books that disallowed people 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:46.319 the autonomy to create the American dream for themselves. Instead 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.600 of reparations, it was affirmative action that was put in 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.640 place to allow access to higher educations and employment. And 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.960 so then when black people wanted to create their own 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.520 schools and do their own thing, those were torched and 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.120 bombed too. You see the point of white supremacies for 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.880 black people not to exist, and if they do exist, 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.520 it is to exist only to be in service to 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:17.200 and of whiteness. Anything outside of that they want to 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:23.360 be illegal, and they are doing it one decision at 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:29.000 a time and with their lap dog Clarence Thomas leading 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:35.720 the way. The other decision that came out was Mtala 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.200 case that went through the court coming from Idaho. Idaho 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:46.920 has a total abortion ban or a nearer total abortion ban. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.719 The federal government sued and said that we have provisions 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:57.680 in m Tala in emergency cases to preserve the health 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.000 and well being of a pregnant person. So they sued 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.960 the Sate of Idaho. And let me just tell you 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:11.080 that who I appreciate right now in one of the 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.880 decisions in the Amtala case that came down was Katanji 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.000 Brown Jackson. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, and what she said, 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:26.440 because what they did decide in some halfway was that oh, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.360 for right now, pregnant people in Idaho get to live 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.800 for right now. But they didn't actually decide the merits 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.360 of the case. And I want to read to you 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:42.240 a piece of her descent So to be clear, today's 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.680 decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:51.880 It is delay. While this court dawdles and the country waits, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.840 pregnant people experiencing emergency medical conditions remain in a precarious position, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.800 as their doctors are kept in the dark about what 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.640 the law requires. This court had a chance to bring 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.240 clarity and certainty to this tragic situation, and we have 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.720 squandered it. And for as long as we refuse to 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:15.320 declare what the law requires, pregnant patients in Idaho, Texas 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.120 and elsewhere will be paying the price because we owe 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:24.440 them and the nation an answer to the straightforward preemption 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:31.680 question presented in these cases. I respectfully dissent in Layman's terms. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.520 These motherfuckers are out here playing games. They're out here 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:40.520 playing games with people's lives, whether those people be bleeding 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:45.840 out in an emergency room. They're playing games with doctors' 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.600 lives who don't know whether to save a patient, which 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.160 is the oath that they took, or to save themselves 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:58.960 from prosecution. Therefore, I can't express to you what a 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.560 place of discovers we are in in this country, what 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:11.280 a place of just absolute embarrassment. What I posted on 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:16.120 social media following the decision, which was this, we live 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.640 in a country where a pregnancy isn't a blessing or 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.200 a miracle, but a potential death sentence or jail time, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.560 all depending on the whims of nine black robes. It's 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.440 really sick. The women in Idaho get to live for 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:34.040 the moment. How nice. The last thing I will say today, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.000 on this fucking Friday, is that there is an ad 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.880 that is going around on social media and frankly it 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:49.720 needs to be everywhere. It is so I don't think 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:56.240 folks that people get what is happening. But the ad, 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.640 which is done so beautifully and I shared it, and 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.359 it's from Way to Win, which is a national strategy tank. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.879 And in the ad you have this straight couple that 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.679 is in a car and they're making out, you know, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.000 and then the guy says, hey, they're in front of 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.040 a convenience store. I'll be right back, I'll be quick. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.480 Girl's like, okay, she's fixing her, you know, our lipstick. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.120 And he runs into the store and he picks up 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.000 at the front of the counter a pack of condoms 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.840 and one of those rose roses in a rose in 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.480 plastic and he puts it down on the counter, and 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.800 the woman behind the counter says, do you have ID? 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.920 And so he's like, you need ID to buy condoms now, 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:49.000 and the woman says yeah, Republicans have passed legislation that 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.800 voted against the Right to Contraception Act. And she's like, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.479 I don't make the rules. So then she takes out 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.000 a clipboard. The woman the sales clerk. She starts asking 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.800 a lot of questions. Are these cond for use with 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.919 a spouse? Are you in a committed relationship? Is that 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:10.360 relationship monogamous? Is it a heterosexual relationship? And then ask 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.000 something about Taylor Swift? Right? Do you listen to Taylor Swift? 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.720 And then she goes down to listen. She says, oh, 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:21.440 I'm sorry, you're not eligible to buy condoms. And he's 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.840 like what, and she's like, yeah, I don't make the rules. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.280 You're not eligible to buy condoms right now, But do 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.680 you want the rose? And the ad ends with the 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.240 black screen that says they haven't come for condoms yet, 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.600 but they are definitely coming for contraception IVF birth control, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.159 and they said, you want to preserve your rights and 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.800 your privacy and your future vote Democrats. That is an 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.280 ad that needs to play on every billboard, on every 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.760 social media platform, on every television station from now until 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.080 the election. But of course to do so costs money. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.159 But this is what people have to understand. Your lives 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:05.760 will change like that if Donald Trump is reelected, if 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.520 these Republicans gain any more power, and there will be 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.320 no recourse, much like we are learning with the decisions 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.920 that are coming down from the Supreme Court for generations 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.359 to come. If this fucking country does not get its 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.160 shit together and recognize the existential threat that we are facing, 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:28.120 we will be fucked for generations. That's it. So are 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:37.119 you a gambling person or not? That is it for 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.399 me today, Dear friends on woke a app as always, Power 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.640 to the people and to all the people. Power, Get 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.680 woke and stay woke as fuck.
