You know, you got the Kardashian Robert 24 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: kardah was of one of his many attorneys. You know, 25 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: he gave you all of the things that people tune 26 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: into soapy television shows for, except you know, it was reality. 27 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: And the reality was that a woman who had been 28 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: married to a man who had been abusing her, physically 29 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: abusing her, emotionally abusing her was charged in a gruesome 30 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: double homicide and there were children that were involved, right, 31 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and you know, this trial was probably it was one 32 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: of the most watched for so many reasons, all of 33 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: which I have named, but race and racism and the 34 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: LAPD played a huge role. The funny thing is is 35 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: that before that trial, right like O. J. Simpson celebrated 36 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: football player turned actor, turned you know, endorsement king, like 37 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: all of these things had never really had any significant role, 38 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: if you will, inside of the black community, Like he 39 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: didn't really fuck with black people. Let's just like be 40 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: clear about that. But when you throw in the justice 41 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: system and black people together. What you want to see 42 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: as a black person in America is a fair trial, 43 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: which we never see, right, particularly when the person who, 44 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: if it's a murder trial, has been murdered is a 45 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: white woman. Right. So the fact that OJ at that 46 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: time was acquitted but then found guilty in a civil trial, right, 47 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: just I can remember how much the country was divided 48 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: on racial lines about it, right, And the fact is, 49 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, do we think he didn't kill her? Right? Like? 50 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, so there were so many feelings and issues 51 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: that were involved with that. Following his acquittal, you know, 52 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, he would end up in 53 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: jail anyway because of robbery, right, and trying to rob 54 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: I think it was his own memorabilia, you know, back 55 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: and so finally he would actually end up in prison, 56 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: and you know, for after that his entire legacy and 57 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: life and character was ruined. He did it right, like, 58 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: and so you know, when the announcement of his death came, 59 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: it was like, man, that was really a time in media, 60 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: in sports, in just how criminals are charged. Like. It 61 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: was just a wild time in America. And the funny 62 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: thing is is that the announcement of his death comes 63 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: on the backdrop of you know, another historic case that 64 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: is supposed to go into jury selection on Monday, which 65 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump's hush money bribery case, where it is 66 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: being alleged on thirty four counts of fraud in terms 67 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: of his business practices that he used campaign resources to 68 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: pay off porn stars Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about 69 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: the extramarital affair that happened while his wife was either 70 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: giving birth or pregnant with their child. And you know, 71 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: this is like, it's extraordinary, right, like the times that 72 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: we have lived through in terms of OJ and are 73 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: living through with regard to Donald Trump. But America's fascination 74 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: with wealth, celebrity, just like tawdry sex and all of 75 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: these things, is still ever present, if not more so 76 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: in the times that we are living in now than 77 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: they were in the nineties. Like imagine somebody had posted 78 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: and said, like, we will now know, you know, if 79 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: you're on social media as folks are, you know, are 80 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: sharing the news of OJ's death, what it would have 81 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: been like to have, you know, a Twitter platform in 82 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, right, which would have been fucking wild. 83 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: But we do know what that's like because Trump is 84 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: about to go into jury selection. He has had now 85 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: three different attempts by his lawyers to do what they 86 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: do best, would is to delay, delay, delay. The Appeals 87 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: Court and the judge in this case have said, nah, 88 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: we're moving this trial along and it will begin with 89 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: jury selection on Monday. Now, folks, I'm not holding my breath. 90 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: I really am not, because Donald Trump is a fucking 91 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: slee's ball. He is a gripter, he is a criminal, 92 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: and somehow the justice system always works on his side. 93 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: So if we actually make it to this trial, I'll 94 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: be shocked. Right. But if there is a hail Mary 95 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: that the Supreme Court decides to take up even though 96 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: this is a state case, but to stick their nose 97 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: because opening arguments for the immunity case right that they 98 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: could have heard months ago, will now take place on 99 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: April twenty fifth, they may decide to say, oh, no, no, no, 100 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: you need to halt this trial until we do our 101 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: slow walk in mid April. So you know, folks, anything 102 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: can happen. That's what we have seen and have been 103 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: privy to over the last several years of all of 104 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's buckery, Shenanigan's and the like, the role that 105 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: the media. I think that the biggest story for me 106 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: with the announcement of the death of OJ Simpson is 107 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the role that the media played and the important role 108 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: that the media continues to play in who they decide 109 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: to make the hero or the villain, right in how 110 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: they decide to cover certain stories. And if you have 111 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: any monicam of wealth or celebrity, you will be handled 112 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: with kid gloves if you are white. Even more so, 113 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: the thing is is that Oj realized that he was 114 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: black when he was arrested, right. And one of the reasons, 115 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: right that we learn that he ends up also getting 116 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: acquitted is because the LAPD was notoriously so fucking racist. Right. 117 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: So even if and I say that tongue in cheek 118 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: he killed her, they just walked, you know, open up 119 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: the door to there being a mistrial to him, you know, 120 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: not a mistrial, but him being found not guilty because 121 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: of their own incessant racism. Right. And so it's just 122 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: like it goes to show you that nothing ever changes. 123 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: What is old is always new again because America refuses 124 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: to address the consistent elephant that's in the room, which 125 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: is racism in America. How we talk about it, how 126 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: we don't talk about it, how it proliferates our just 127 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: this system and our government, and so on and so 128 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: forth in the narratives that are spun around it, Which 129 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: brings me to my next story, which is a video 130 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: I posted this week following Donald Trump's appearance at a 131 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Chick fil A in Atlanta where he bought thirty milkshakes 132 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: and they were passed out to the customers that were 133 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: already at this Chick fil A, And there are pictures of, 134 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of black people wanting to take 135 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: selfies and smiling and grinning. And I did a video 136 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: about it because you know, a friend of mine had 137 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: sent it to me before I saw the story break 138 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: and was just like, Danielle, what do you make of this? 139 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: This is crazy because this falls in line with the 140 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: other stories that the media is perpetuating around Donald Trump 141 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: being able to peel off black mail voters and Latino 142 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: mail voters and bring them over to his side because of, 143 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: you know, them being enamored with wealth and with celebrity 144 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: and the proximity to white supremacy and what I said 145 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: in my video, and I stand by it, even though 146 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: folks are like Dniel. Those people were at work and 147 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: like blah blah blah. I know that they were so 148 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: because I'm not talking about the people that were just 149 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: behind the counter that were grinning and smiling at Donald Trump. 150 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the people that were actually in the restaurant, 151 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: the patrons that were running up and wanting pictures with 152 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: this fucking white supremacy and criminal. Not everybody wants to 153 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: be free, Okay, that is what I posted in my video. 154 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: Not everybody wants to be free. Not everybody wants to 155 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: get free. Right that when Harriet Tubman was making her 156 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: treacherous journey to and from the South to free enslaved 157 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: black people, many did not want to go with her, 158 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: right because they were terrified and would rather just stay 159 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: with the devil that they knew than run the risk 160 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: of going towards freedom, not knowing what that freedom would 161 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: look like. And so there have always been actors inside 162 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: of history, black actors inside of history, that when they 163 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: found or heard news of there being a potential revolt 164 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: right on these plantations, on these torture factories, right that 165 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: they would tell their masters right in exchange for their freedom, 166 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: for the murder and killing of those that were daring 167 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: to assert their humanity and fight for their freedom. So 168 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: what I say is that not everybody wants to get free, 169 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: and there will always be black people that are the 170 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: biggest supporters of white supremacy and will secure their own 171 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: freedom right and I use quotation marks by their proximity 172 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: to whiteness. They will be fine with being the pet 173 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: of the master. Right looking at you Byron, you know, 174 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: looking at you, Tim Scott, you know, looking at you, 175 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: Candice Owens, looking at you know, a whole bunch of 176 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: folks that are totally happy carrying the water, being the mascot, 177 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: the black face for white supremacy because of whatever they're 178 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: being promised on the other side. Now, during slavery, they 179 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: would be promised their freedom, so fuck everybody else right 180 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: who they would be leaving behind so long as they 181 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: got theirs. That mentality is still extremely prevalent. So you know, 182 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: when I saw those images, I was disgusted, you know, 183 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: as anyone would be. Do I tell you to lose 184 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: your job over it? No, But I'm sure as fuck 185 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been standing there smiling. And if I was 186 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: a customer, I'm sure as fuck wouldn't have been running 187 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: up to Donald Trump for a fucking selfie. But needless 188 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: to say, I have never been a customer at Chick 189 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: fil A because of their homophobia and funding of anti 190 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: LGBTQ legislation and their fucking bullshit religious stances. So miss 191 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: me with that fucking you know, fried chicken bullshit. Their 192 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: fried hatred never been in my mouth and never will be. 193 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I have morals. So you know, what 194 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: we know is that everything that Donald Trump does is 195 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: a grift and is a lie. And in this case, 196 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: let me just remind the black and brown listeners of 197 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: this show specifically that Donald Trump hates you, he hates us, 198 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: He thinks so very little of black people. Remember, we 199 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,479 Speaker 1: don't come from those quote unquote nice countries like Denmark. 200 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: Right that he wanted to ban Muslims from this country 201 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: and did, Right that he put Latin's people in cages, 202 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: That he said that black people come from shithole countries. 203 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Right that he took out a full page ad to 204 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: call for the execution of black children who would later 205 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: be exonerated decades later, and never came forth with an apology, 206 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: but continued the same lie about the exonerated five. Right 207 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: in New York City, the man who used his power 208 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: and his influence to deny black and brown people housing 209 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: from his properties and was sued for it. Right, this 210 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: motherfucker been a racist. He's been a misogynist. So for 211 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: anyone to be running to Donald Trump, particularly people of color, 212 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: and smiling in his face and begging for a photo, 213 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: makes me fucking sick. I want to end today with 214 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: a story that is absolutely disgusting and deserves mainstream coverage, 215 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: but because of the barrage of bad news, the allowance 216 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: of an eighteen sixty four piece of legislation that would 217 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: give a total ban on abortion that the House Republicans 218 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: in Arizona have decided to resurrect. That's not what I'm 219 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: talking about, but you get My point is that there's 220 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: just so much bad news it's hard to keep up. 221 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: But it is my job to make you woke to 222 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: particularly draconian, disgusting and dangerous pieces of legislation that I 223 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: believe will cause a domino effect. What am I talking about? Oh, 224 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: the state of Tennessee. And you're thinking to yourself, what 225 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: have they done now, Danielle, Oh, oh so much? Let 226 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: me tell you so. On Monday, Tennessee, according to the 227 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: Hill dot Com, passed a bill that will allow potential 228 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: parents who hold anti LGBTQ beliefs to adopt and foster 229 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: LGBTQ children. Let me say that again. The state of 230 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: Tennessee has now passed a bill that would prohibit the 231 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: Department of Children's Services from requiring that prospective or a 232 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: current adoptive and foster parents to agree with government policy 233 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: regarding sexual orientation our gender identity that quote unquote conflicts 234 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: with their own beliefs layman's terms. Tennessee has just passed 235 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: anti LGBTQ legislation that would legalize child abuse because why 236 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: else would a person who holds anti LGBTQ views adopt 237 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: a queer child. What would be the point of that 238 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: other than to what pray the gay away, beat the 239 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: gay away, shock the gay away, starve the gay away. 240 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: What would be your role do you think? Because these 241 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: type of people who would choose to knowingly adopt a 242 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: child that doesn't have any rights, because children until they 243 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: reach the age of eighteen have no rights in this country. 244 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: There is no children Bill of Rights to recognize their humanity. 245 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: You are essentially property right, and so the fact that 246 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee would go so far in their hatred of LGBTQ 247 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: people to pass legislation that would allow hateful prospective parents 248 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: to be the guardians of children that need the most 249 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: care because of their high suicide ideation rates, high rates 250 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: of homelessness. Why because when children still come out in 251 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: this day and age, they are kicked out of their home, right, 252 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: more likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol. Right 253 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: that these children would then be placed under the care 254 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: of people who hate them. This makes sense, This feels 255 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: good to the people in Tennessee. It's fucking sick, is 256 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: what it is. Just imagine that somebody who is a 257 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: white nationalist now would get the green light to adopt 258 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: black or brown children. You would say, oh my god, 259 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: that would never happen. That should never happen. Tell me 260 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: what the difference is here, because you know that now 261 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: that Tennessee has enacted this, Florida, Texas, Alabama, the rest 262 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: of them will say, oh wait, this seems good. Let 263 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: us continue on our crusade to target, to abuse and 264 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: to try and erase and eradicate LGBTQ people from our 265 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: state and from this country. Understand, folks, that this is 266 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: the shit that Republicans are testing out in their little southern, 267 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: hateful draconian petrie dishes that they will nationalize if Donald 268 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: Trump becomes president again. Stay woke, my friends, Stay fucking woke, 269 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: because it is shit like this that is getting lost 270 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: under the radar. Because what the Republicans are doing is 271 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: what Steve Bannon told them to do. Flood the zone, right, 272 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: Flood the zone. Go village by village, city by city 273 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: with your destructive anti gay, anti trans, anti black, anti immigrant, 274 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: anti woman, anti Muslim, anti Semitic policies, and we won't 275 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: be able to keep track, right because there's so much 276 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: coming at us on any given day that bills like 277 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: this slide under the radar. Well, it's on my fucking radar, 278 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: And when it's on my radar, I put it on 279 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: y'all's radar because this is not the last that we 280 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: will hear in this election. My dear friends, the Republicans 281 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: are coming for everything. It's why you have so much anxiety, 282 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: it's why we are all on edge. It's why you know, 283 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: I tell you to take break so that you don't 284 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: have breakdowns, that you don't need to be in every 285 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: news cycle all day, every day, because it's not good 286 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: for your mental health. Because right now they are winning 287 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: every single battle that they are waging, because Mitch McConnell 288 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump stacked the courts so that they could 289 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: run a fucking muck. The only thing that is standing 290 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: between us and the nationalizing of crysto fascism is our vote. 291 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: And for those that are continue to say that they 292 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: can't stomach voting for Joe Biden? Can you stomach living 293 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: inside of an authoritarian regime? Can you stomach it when 294 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: your passport is basically toilet paper and you're not allowed 295 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: to leave? Can you stomach it when your bosses are 296 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: now able to abuse you because they've done away with 297 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: the last remnants of workers' protections and rights. When there 298 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: is no recourse, you can go ahead and you can 299 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: protest and watch it turn into Tenneman's Square where the 300 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: government rolled out tanks and killed their own people to 301 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: send a message. That's what Donald Trump wanted to do 302 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: at Lafayette Square when he said, can't we just shoot 303 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: them in the leg or something? And General Milly said, 304 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: uh no, that's against the law. Well, there will be 305 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: no General Millies in the new Trump administration. There will 306 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: only be people that sit around and say, yeah, Boss, 307 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: whatever you want, Boss, funded and backed by Project twenty 308 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: twenty five. If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, 309 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: don't know what will. That is it for me today, 310 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: dear friends, on this fuck it Friday, I hope that 311 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: you get rest, peace, joy, outside time, connection with friends 312 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: and families and pets and plant because we need each 313 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: and every person to be one hundred and fifty percent 314 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: for the next several months, because it's going to be 315 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: long and tiresome.
