Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here no time to fear Corelle is so near because
- 0:04Speaker 1: Showtime is here so on with the show let's give it.
- 0:09Speaker 2: A go Corelle is the one that you need to
- 0:12Speaker 2: know now it's Showtime.
- 0:29Speaker 3: I can honestly tell you that I am not well today,
- 0:32Speaker 3: and I probably shouldn't be doing a show. Why? I'm
- 0:35Speaker 3: going to tell you. A new piece of video has surfaced,
- 0:38Speaker 3: and it has really rattled me. And I'm going to
- 0:40Speaker 3: tell you all about it, so don't go anywhere. It
- 0:49Speaker 3: is The Carell Show. I am Carell. So very glad
- 0:52Speaker 3: you are joining me today. I.
- 0:56Speaker 3: You know, I probably should not be doing a show
- 0:58Speaker 3: today because I'm rattled and I don't rattle easily. I've
- 1:02Speaker 3: been in media my whole life. I've dealt with people who,
- 1:07Speaker 3: you know, are less than friendly. But I told you
- 1:12Speaker 3: the other day how on Saturday I was attacked at
- 1:17Speaker 3: the polls.
- 1:19Speaker 4: And.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I told you I left because, A, I had no
- 1:24Speaker 3: proof that she did it and they always play victim.
- 1:27Speaker 3: So I wasn't videotaping it. Amber was terrified. She was terrified, Amber.
- 1:33Speaker 3: And I had a bloody lip. So, you know, I
- 1:37Speaker 3: told the cops, well, no, if I have to stay
- 1:39Speaker 3: to press charges, I'm leaving. I'm going home. And I
- 1:42Speaker 3: went home. Well, this morning, my friend Steve sends me
- 1:47Speaker 3: a video from TikTok, which is going viral. And there's
- 1:51Speaker 3: two of them. And I want to show you these videos.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Here's video number one, posted by the executive director of
- 2:01Speaker 3: the Las Vegas ACL or the Nevada ACLU, who was there.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I did not know. I did not know. So I
- 2:11Speaker 3: awoke to this video and the next one. Watch these
- 2:13Speaker 3: two videos. Watch. Sound up, everybody. Turn your sound up.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Are you ready? Sound up.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Today's the first day of early voting in Nevada, which
- 2:28Speaker 5: means it's also the first day of election protection. I
- 2:30Speaker 5: drove to Desert Breeze Community Center, got a chance to
- 2:33Speaker 5: run into folks in the community, saw the voting area,
- 2:35Speaker 5: then saw this lunatic go totally insane.
- 2:39Speaker 6: Trump doesn't need to rape anybody, baby, because people are
- 2:42Speaker 6: on line to have sex with him. We are the
- 2:45Speaker 6: people of the unvaxxed. Democrats are lunatics.
- 3:02Speaker 5: And we overheard her telling the police that I was
- 3:17Speaker 5: intimidating her, which is insane. The police did nothing to
- 3:19Speaker 5: restrain her, which is a problem. Because we know if
- 3:21Speaker 5: we were at a protest, they would have arrested her for.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Disturbing the peace.
- 3:24Speaker 5: Issue's been flagged, elevated, and we'll follow up. Update from
- 3:29Speaker 5: this video just a couple days ago that I posted
- 3:31Speaker 5: where this lunatic went totally crazy, harassed and intimidated voters,
- 3:35Speaker 5: and even assaulted one voter as captured here. So I
- 3:39Speaker 5: spoke with the Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, Clark County
- 3:42Speaker 5: Registrar of Voters, Lorena Portillo, and LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McNahill. Now,
- 3:47Speaker 5: it probably comes as no surprise that my relationship with
- 3:50Speaker 5: all government is complicated. The sheriff's reviewing the incident. Now,
- 3:53Speaker 5: there's a difference between protected expression and intimidating voters or
- 3:58Speaker 5: assaulting voters in violation of both state and federal laws.
- 4:02Speaker 5: We aren't leaving things to chance with the government, though. First,
- 4:04Speaker 5: we'll be requesting any and all footage of the conversations
- 4:07Speaker 5: that occurred with law enforcement from that day at that
- 4:11Speaker 5: site to assess for potential legal action. Hint and important.
- 4:14Speaker 5: If you run into an issue and you see this
- 4:16Speaker 5: person who, according to the comment section of my last video,
- 4:19Speaker 5: is a frequent antagonist, or if you see anyone else
- 4:24Speaker 5: harassing voters at Desert Breeze or any other site in Nevada.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Please notify us by contacting 1-866-OUR-VOTE. We need additional observers
- 4:32Speaker 5: on Election Day because if this conduct precludes someone from voting,
- 4:35Speaker 5: including on Election Day, it's probably likely to require litigation.
- 4:38Speaker 5: And remember, in Nevada, voting is free, safe, and secure.
- 4:41Speaker 5: More details to come on this.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Well, voting is not free and safe in Nevada. And
- 4:49Speaker 3: I have to tell you guys, and I'm stripping back
- 4:51Speaker 3: the veneer, I'm being honest. My heart, so Friday when
- 4:55Speaker 3: I recorded my song, my heart went into PVCs. My
- 4:58Speaker 3: doctor said, it's stress. You know, you're stressing your heart out.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Just relax, they'll go away. They did. They went away. Saturday,
- 5:08Speaker 3: after this event, they started again, the PVCs, and they
- 5:11Speaker 3: haven't stopped. And I'm even having arm pain. And I
- 5:15Speaker 3: don't know if the arm pain is my heart or what.
- 5:17Speaker 3: I don't know. And I'm kind of afraid to go
- 5:20Speaker 3: to the doctor. I had so much stress from this incident,
- 5:24Speaker 3: I was looking for other places to live in the
- 5:27Speaker 3: United States and other countries. I came on here and
- 5:31Speaker 3: did a show about how horrible. It was such a
- 5:34Speaker 3: negative show because I just felt the country was lost
- 5:37Speaker 3: because nothing happened to her. She was allowed to return.
- 5:40Speaker 3: She was there the next day. And they know about her.
- 5:44Speaker 3: They know about her.

- 6:10Speaker 3: music and let it fill you with the pride it
- 6:13Speaker 3: filled me in doing it. You have to be strong.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Now the only good thing about the video is I
- 6:27Speaker 1: look skinny.
- 6:28Speaker 2: That's the only good thing. But I'm trying not to cry.
- 6:32Speaker 2: That video has brought it all back. I felt so powerless.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I couldn't hit her. If I had hit her, it
- 6:54Speaker 3: would have just made things so much worse. And I
- 6:58Speaker 3: just wanted to vote. And as Trump sends ICE to
- 7:02Speaker 3: harass people at the polls and such, isn't it the
- 7:05Speaker 3: county and state's job to keep me safe when I
- 7:08Speaker 3: go vote? They know about her. There is comment after comment.
- 7:15Speaker 3: This Athar is his name. And he works with the ACLU.
- 7:20Speaker 3: And he posted this video. And a friend saw it
- 7:22Speaker 3: and sent it to me. I started getting all these texts.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Are you okay? I just saw the video. I'm like,
- 7:28Speaker 3: what video? And then they send me the video. And
- 7:33Speaker 3: I'm not okay. Okay? I'm not okay. This woman... Calls
- 7:40Speaker 3: me a faggot. Tells me to fuck my dog. I
- 7:43Speaker 3: go in and tell the poll workers. I told them.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I told the woman at spot number three where I
- 7:50Speaker 3: went up to sign in. I don't like that a
- 7:52Speaker 3: woman chased me in here, told me to have sex
- 7:54Speaker 3: with my dog, and called me a faggot. Well, there's
- 7:57Speaker 3: nothing we can do. She's 100 feet away. It is
- 8:01Speaker 3: illegal what she did. It's illegal. And the poll workers
- 8:06Speaker 3: did nothing to protect me.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 8:11Speaker 3: And then when I leave, she chases me and everybody
- 8:14Speaker 3: just watches her and lets her do it. And then
- 8:18Speaker 3: the police show up. They have shot people at protest
- 8:22Speaker 3: for less. Ember was terrified. Ember was so scared. She
- 8:34Speaker 3: hasn't acted right since. She's acted skittish and afraid. I'm
- 8:39Speaker 3: worried her back leg is injured. She's walking a little
- 8:42Speaker 3: funny sometimes. And me, my heart's PVCs. I have an
- 8:48Speaker 3: EKG from right after the event where my heart is
- 8:51Speaker 3: throwing PVCs. Those aren't fun. I don't want to talk
- 9:00Speaker 3: on the show anymore. I don't want to I don't
- 9:04Speaker 3: want to go vote. I don't want to be around
- 9:07Speaker 3: these people. And my whole show today was about power
- 9:11Speaker 3: and why Democrats don't have any. And this is why.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Because the police show up, they do nothing. They do nothing.
- 9:21Speaker 3: They left her there. She was there the next day. Now,
- 9:27Speaker 3: someone said today she's been arrested. Not for what she
- 9:31Speaker 3: did to me. But my county let me down. My
- 9:36Speaker 3: state let me down. I was there trying to do
- 9:41Speaker 3: my part and they let this woman attack me. I
- 9:46Speaker 3: informed the poll workers that she was out there and
- 9:50Speaker 3: what she was doing. They did nothing. And you saw
- 9:55Speaker 3: her hit me in the face with the bullhorn. I
- 9:59Speaker 3: was trying to say, well, maybe I moved. No, I
- 10:02Speaker 3: didn't move. Now that I see it from a third-party perspective,
- 10:06Speaker 3: she hit me. And I didn't post that video. The
- 10:11Speaker 3: ACLU did. I didn't even know the video existed until
- 10:14Speaker 3: two hours ago. And now here we are. You know,
- 10:25Speaker 3: now here we are. And I'm sorry that the show
- 10:32Speaker 3: is like this today. But I don't want to be
- 10:37Speaker 3: here anymore. I don't want to. And my friend David Hall,
- 10:41Speaker 3: he laid down the law yesterday. He said, if you
- 10:44Speaker 3: truly want to leave, sell your house, take whatever you
- 10:48Speaker 3: can take and move, get out, if that's what you
- 10:51Speaker 3: truly want. I said, but David, I also want to
- 10:53Speaker 3: still entertain. He said, well, you can't have it both ways.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Either you move to another country and to stay in
- 11:01Speaker 3: that country, get a job at Starbucks or wherever, or
- 11:06Speaker 3: you stay and you move to a state like Massachusetts
- 11:11Speaker 3: that you can afford and and where it's blue, and
- 11:14Speaker 3: where gays are protected. She committed a hate crime. She
- 11:18Speaker 3: called me a faggot on a bullhorn. And, yeah, I
- 11:27Speaker 3: shouldn't be on air today. I shouldn't. You know, I
- 11:33Speaker 3: shouldn't be here. Because all I can think about right
- 11:38Speaker 3: now is what I don't have. And I'm blessed. I'm
- 11:42Speaker 3: blessed the video surfaced. Ember is here next to me.
- 11:45Speaker 3: I'm blessed that she's at least here next to me.
- 11:49Speaker 3: You know, but I've got $ 3, 100 in the bank. You'll
- 11:55Speaker 3: never hear a talk show host say that out loud.
- 11:57Speaker 3: After all of my bills are paid, I have $ 3, 100
- 11:59Speaker 3: in the bank and $ 700 in savings. That's what I have.
- 12:01Speaker 3: If I move, I move poor. I move where I
- 12:10Speaker 3: don't have a two-bedroom apartment like I have now. I
- 12:15Speaker 3: move someplace into a one-bedroom or a studio, which I
- 12:17Speaker 3: can't fit in. I feel like a failure because I
- 12:22Speaker 3: don't have any money. And because Phil Hendry, who was
- 12:25Speaker 3: talking to me yesterday, he just did three days on
- 12:27Speaker 3: 9-1-1 and he's got money. Bill Handel's got money. Every
- 12:32Speaker 3: host I've worked with has tons of money. Not me.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I was the gay guy. I was always paid less,
- 12:40Speaker 3: always had to jump through more hoops. KGO paid me
- 12:44Speaker 3: the minimum they could pay me. KFI paid me the
- 12:47Speaker 3: minimum they could pay me. And they said because I
- 12:50Speaker 3: was gay, because I was an experiment in radio. So
- 12:58Speaker 3: I let this incident make me feel badly about myself
- 13:05Speaker 3: because it happened. And it made me want to leave
- 13:09Speaker 3: Las Vegas and get out of Nevada. I'm tired of
- 13:12Speaker 3: living around Trump supporters. I can't take it. This morning
- 13:15Speaker 3: at the park, one of the Trump supporters that's always there,
- 13:18Speaker 3: I was showing the video to my friend Jeannie. And
- 13:21Speaker 3: the lady said, well, what did you do to deserve it?
- 13:24Speaker 3: What did I do to deserve being attacked? That's what
- 13:29Speaker 3: she said. Because that's who they are. And the state knew.
- 13:38Speaker 3: The county knew. I have a comment from one of
- 13:42Speaker 3: the videos that says she was at their polling place
- 13:45Speaker 3: four years ago doing the same thing. She's been doing
- 13:48Speaker 3: this now for at least four years. They knew. Or
- 13:53Speaker 3: should have known. expressing your views on the election and
- 13:58Speaker 3: on the candidates is one thing. That's not what she
- 14:01Speaker 3: was doing. You heard the video. She told some man
- 14:04Speaker 3: to shove his cane up his ass. She screamed that
- 14:08Speaker 3: Trump isn't a pedophile, that he has people waiting in
- 14:11Speaker 3: line to have sex with him. She called Mandami a
- 14:14Speaker 3: whore right in front of me. That is not protected
- 14:18Speaker 3: speech at a polling place. That's intimidation and harassment. And
- 14:23Speaker 3: the police had video of that. And left her there.
- 14:29Speaker 3: So what's my recourse? The police came out. I have
- 14:33Speaker 3: the incident report. They left her there. She was there
- 14:36Speaker 3: the next day, I'm told. And the day after that.
- 14:42Speaker 3: And so I felt powerless. And that's why I wanted
- 14:44Speaker 3: to do a topic today about taking your power back.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I have to do something to regain my power and
- 14:53Speaker 3: remind myself I am Carell. I am Carell. a legendary
- 14:58Speaker 3: talk show host. And while I may not have any
- 15:01Speaker 3: money right now, that doesn't mean I'm not valuable. You know, yesterday,
- 15:08Speaker 3: Jane Velez Mitchell from Unchained TV said, if I wanted
- 15:13Speaker 3: to do a half-hour weekly show called Vegan in Vegas,
- 15:16Speaker 3: she would promote it. She would put it on Unchained TV.
- 15:19Speaker 3: She would put it on all of their FAST, meaning
- 15:23Speaker 3: networks that stream over the air. that she would submit
- 15:27Speaker 3: it for tellies and Webby Awards. She would put out
- 15:29Speaker 3: a press release about it. She would have other hosts
- 15:32Speaker 3: interview me. She would do whatever she could to get
- 15:37Speaker 3: Vegan in Vegas out there. I got very excited, but
- 15:42Speaker 3: she can't pay for the show. She's a nonprofit. She
- 15:46Speaker 3: can't pay. So to do 20 episodes, At $ 5, 000 an episode,
- 15:51Speaker 3: which is what it would cost to edit, to have
- 15:53Speaker 3: a videographer, an editor, all of that, minimum $ 3, 000 an episode,
- 15:58Speaker 3: 20 episodes, $ 60, 000. I don't have that. I don't know
- 16:06Speaker 3: how to raise that, but it's a great idea. And
- 16:11Speaker 3: I thought to myself, here's another great opportunity right in
- 16:14Speaker 3: front of you, and you can't take it because of money.
- 16:18Speaker 3: And being a vegan is now a dirty word because
- 16:21Speaker 3: of Trump. So how am I going to raise money
- 16:22Speaker 3: for a show called Vegan in Vegas? And I felt powerless.
- 16:28Speaker 3: And I am getting so tired of feeling powerless. And
- 16:33Speaker 3: that's because everybody in my life that should have power,
- 16:37Speaker 3: the Democrats, my senator, my congressperson, The county and state,
- 16:43Speaker 3: which should have protected me from what happened at that poll,
- 16:46Speaker 3: they had the power to stop that, to get her
- 16:50Speaker 3: out of there four years ago. They didn't. They didn't.
- 16:56Speaker 3: And now I'm sitting here wondering, is this arm pain?
- 16:59Speaker 3: Is this from you working out? Or is this a
- 17:01Speaker 3: heart thing? I'm sitting here as we speak with PVCs,
- 17:05Speaker 3: which is an extra beat, so it goes boom, boom,
- 17:08Speaker 3: and then it takes a while, and then it booms again.
- 17:11Speaker 3: I nearly fainted Saturday afternoon because of the PVCs that
- 17:16Speaker 3: she caused, that that incident caused. I don't want that life.
- 17:24Speaker 3: I don't want my heart beating so strangely that I can't.
- 17:27Speaker 3: I'm now hesitant to sign the contract for the Razz
- 17:30Speaker 3: Room because I don't know if I get on stage
- 17:33Speaker 3: and get my heart all revved up, if it's going
- 17:34Speaker 3: to go out of rhythm, all because, once again, this
- 17:38Speaker 3: woman has put me in arrhythmias. And they could last weeks, months,
- 17:41Speaker 3: or years. They're calling in metroprolol for me. I don't
- 17:45Speaker 3: want to take metroprolol. It slows your heart rate. My
- 17:49Speaker 3: resting heart rate's 52. It can't go much slower. They
- 17:53Speaker 3: said just take it before a show or just take
- 17:56Speaker 3: it before a stressful incident to try to keep the
- 17:59Speaker 3: PVCs at bay. All because this woman who could have
- 18:05Speaker 3: been stopped wasn't by the people in quote-unquote power. You know,
- 18:12Speaker 3: it's like we're drowning. Everybody in America, we're drowning. And
- 18:17Speaker 3: we have forgotten that we have the power to save ourselves.
- 18:20Speaker 3: All we can see is the thrashing water. We don't
- 18:23Speaker 3: see the horizon. We don't see the stars. All we
- 18:26Speaker 3: see is all the horror around us every day. And
- 18:30Speaker 3: that's why the media puts it there. That's why the
- 18:33Speaker 3: media puts that horror there every day, to keep us
- 18:37Speaker 3: focused on the horror around us so we don't realize
- 18:42Speaker 3: that we are in power. We have the power to
- 18:46Speaker 3: stop MAGA. The police should have arrested that woman. I
- 18:52Speaker 3: told you, where were the people from the No Kings rally?
- 18:55Speaker 3: Where were they protecting voters at that poll? They weren't.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Nobody cared what was going on there, not the police,
- 19:04Speaker 3: not the poll workers. They left us all on our own,
- 19:07Speaker 3: an old man with a cane being told to shove
- 19:09Speaker 3: it up his ass, me being called a faggot and
- 19:12Speaker 3: told me to fuck my dog and then shoving a
- 19:14Speaker 3: bullhorn in my face. No one was there to help us,
- 19:19Speaker 3: no county, no state, no police, no Democrat, nobody. We
- 19:30Speaker 3: have so much power and we give it away every
- 19:34Speaker 3: day because people refuse to claim theirs. And you and I,
- 19:40Speaker 3: all we can see is high food prices, high gas prices.
- 19:44Speaker 3: I can't afford my mortgage. I can't afford gas. That's
- 19:48Speaker 3: all we see every day. in front of our eyes.
- 19:50Speaker 3: We're drowning. And no one's throwing us a life preserver.
- 19:54Speaker 3: That's why MAGA loved Trump. They loved Trump because they
- 19:59Speaker 3: felt they were drowning in a country that was allowing
- 20:01Speaker 3: gays to get married and kids to become trans and
- 20:05Speaker 3: all of their homophobia and misogynist that women were allowed
- 20:07Speaker 3: to get abortions. And they're all just feeling that they
- 20:10Speaker 3: were drowning in liberalism. And so they didn't vote for Trump.
- 20:17Speaker 3: They voted for a life preserver. They saw Trump as
- 20:21Speaker 3: their MAGA life preserver. to close the border from the
- 20:25Speaker 3: horrible immigrants who picked their food because they were told
- 20:28Speaker 3: they're the problem. They're the reason you don't have health care.
- 20:32Speaker 3: They're the reason. When it's the billionaires, and we know
- 20:34Speaker 3: it's the billionaires, but the billionaires bought the media to
- 20:38Speaker 3: further the agenda that it's not the billionaires that are
- 20:40Speaker 3: causing you not to have things. It's the immigrants. It's
- 20:44Speaker 3: the trans kids. It's the gays. Trump went on about
- 20:47Speaker 3: trans people again last night. Misogyny at an all-time high.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Trying to tell women not to vote because they don't
- 20:58Speaker 3: want us to have any power. And they certainly don't
- 21:02Speaker 3: want to remind us of our power. We're supposed to
- 21:07Speaker 3: have power in this country to change things. That's what
- 21:12Speaker 3: Trump was to them. They were drowning in a sea
- 21:15Speaker 3: of liberalism and DEI and immigration, and he was their
- 21:20Speaker 3: life preserver. And that's why they grabbed onto him. Not
- 21:24Speaker 3: because he's him, but they saw him as a path
- 21:27Speaker 3: to redemption. A path to get out of the sea
- 21:31Speaker 3: of liberal despair. Where's my life preserver? Who's going to
- 21:37Speaker 3: help me?
- 21:46Speaker 2: Patreon is the way.
- 21:52Speaker 3: You have to be proud with hatred. Hey everyone, it's Karel.
- 21:58Speaker 3: You know, Pride Month was rough this year. We had
- 22:01Speaker 3: a lot of hate heaped upon us from Trump, from MAGA,
- 22:04Speaker 3: and from other governments around the world. And if you
- 22:08Speaker 3: are a trans person, you are really going through a
- 22:10Speaker 3: particular type of hell right now. That's why when I
- 22:13Speaker 3: was thinking of my next single in June, I sat
- 22:16Speaker 3: down and I wrote, you have to be proud. You
- 22:19Speaker 3: have to be proud with anger so loud. Streaming everywhere.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing. We're going to win.
- 22:41Speaker 3: All right, we are back. I'm getting a text from
- 22:43Speaker 3: Congresswoman Suzy Lee's office. from a friend there, not from
- 22:47Speaker 3: Congressman Lee, from a friend who's there. Wow, this is
- 22:56Speaker 3: like the hardest show I've ever done, and I've done plenty.
- 23:01Speaker 3: And it's a hard show because I want to entertain you, okay?
- 23:12Speaker 3: I want to share laughter and joy with you The truth,
- 23:19Speaker 3: I would quit the Daily Show tomorrow if I could
- 23:22Speaker 3: afford to do the Vegan in Vegas show. Because I
- 23:25Speaker 3: think surrounding myself with people trying to improve their health
- 23:29Speaker 3: and trying to expose you to better ways to be
- 23:33Speaker 3: healthy sounds more fun right now. But I know that's
- 23:37Speaker 3: just because of what I've gone through. I've been yelled
- 23:41Speaker 3: at through bullhorns for 45 years. being gay. God hates fags.
- 23:50Speaker 3: You're going to burn in hell. I've gone to funerals
- 23:52Speaker 3: of friends with AIDS where we literally had to walk
- 23:55Speaker 3: through people that were there saying my friends deserved to
- 23:59Speaker 3: die at the top of their lungs on billboards, on bullhorn.
- 24:04Speaker 3: I had Ronald Reagan not say the word AIDS for
- 24:08Speaker 3: seven years while my community died, died, died in front
- 24:14Speaker 3: of me. You want to talk about feeling powerless, but
- 24:17Speaker 3: we reclaimed that power. We... had Luke Sisyphag, and we
- 24:23Speaker 3: had Larry Kramer, and we voted, and we rallied, and
- 24:28Speaker 3: we got our power, and we got AIDS funding, and
- 24:31Speaker 3: we got drugs fast-tracked. You owe the fast-tracking of drugs
- 24:35Speaker 3: to AIDS. Same-sex marriage came out of AIDS because they
- 24:38Speaker 3: were throwing us out of our homes because our partners
- 24:41Speaker 3: died and we couldn't legally be married. When Andrew died,
- 24:45Speaker 3: I was told by a judge who didn't need a
- 24:47Speaker 3: megaphone that we didn't matter. I changed that law when
- 24:54Speaker 3: she said that to me. The county and the state
- 24:59Speaker 3: of Nevada, you owe me. You owe me. You put
- 25:03Speaker 3: me in danger. You knew of that woman. The poll
- 25:06Speaker 3: workers knew of that woman. She's been at the polls.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I was told by a lawyer at the polls that
- 25:13Speaker 3: they've been monitoring her for several elections. You knew about
- 25:17Speaker 3: her and you let her out there to attack me.
- 25:20Speaker 3: You let her throw my heart out of rhythm. You
- 25:23Speaker 3: let her terrorize my dog. You let her hit me
- 25:26Speaker 3: in the face with a bullhorn. But you've let them
- 25:33Speaker 3: attack me before. You've let them attack me my whole
- 25:37Speaker 3: life in the name of freedom of speech. You've let
- 25:40Speaker 3: them show up at funerals for my husband. My husband.
- 25:45Speaker 3: You let protesters be out front and say that Andrew
- 25:48Speaker 3: deserved to die. Freedom of speech. My whole life. And so, yes,
- 25:58Speaker 3: I became someone in your face. I became someone who
- 26:02Speaker 3: couldn't be ignored. I became someone who demanded to change
- 26:07Speaker 3: the law, who demanded a seat at the table, and
- 26:10Speaker 3: I am fucking tired of it. I just want to
- 26:14Speaker 3: be happy. I'll be 64 in 19 days. I'm not
- 26:17Speaker 3: even doing anything for my birthday because I can't afford it.
- 26:21Speaker 3: I want to have a party. Parties cost money. I
- 26:24Speaker 3: don't have $ 500 to buy food and alcohol for people
- 26:28Speaker 3: to come and celebrate my birthday. I don't have it.
- 26:31Speaker 3: How embarrassed am I that I don't have enough money
- 26:35Speaker 3: to have a birthday party? Why? Because my whole life
- 26:38Speaker 3: I've been underpaid because I was gay. Because my back
- 26:41Speaker 3: has given out and now I'm disabled and I can't
- 26:43Speaker 3: do an eight-hour day. I can't get a job at
- 26:47Speaker 3: a radio station where I have to work eight or
- 26:49Speaker 3: ten hours because my back won't do it. How embarrassing.
- 26:57Speaker 3: So how do I take my power back? How do
- 27:01Speaker 3: I rise up from this? How do I reclaim my life,
- 27:08Speaker 3: my career, my fame? How do I do any of that?
- 27:12Speaker 3: I don't know. Because every time I start feeling good
- 27:15Speaker 3: about myself, something like this happens. And you all can say, oh,
- 27:20Speaker 3: you shouldn't let her get you down. My heart was
- 27:24Speaker 3: out of rhythm because she was screaming at me. Right
- 27:27Speaker 3: there in that video, I was feeling my heart jump
- 27:30Speaker 3: in my chest. My dog, my service dog, was terrified. Terrified.
- 27:40Speaker 3: And the state and the county knew it. They knew. Oh,
- 27:47Speaker 3: they might arrest her now. What good does that do me?
- 27:52Speaker 3: Where were they when I needed them? Voting is taking
- 27:59Speaker 3: back your power.
- 28:02Speaker 4: It is.
- 28:04Speaker 3: But the Democrats have acted powerless for so long, do
- 28:08Speaker 3: I really feel they're going to get much done? Or
- 28:12Speaker 3: is my pessimism just because of what's happened? Have I
- 28:16Speaker 3: turned into a bitter old queen because I'm 63 and
- 28:19Speaker 3: I lost a generation of my friends to AIDS and
- 28:21Speaker 3: nobody cared? And my whole life I've been discriminated against
- 28:25Speaker 3: and it's been allowed by law and now those very
- 28:28Speaker 3: laws that protected me are being repealed by an administration
- 28:32Speaker 3: that no one is standing up to? That every single
- 28:37Speaker 3: person is bending over for? Pete Hagsbeth out there doing
- 28:42Speaker 3: some biblical agenda that troops are now complaining that he's
- 28:49Speaker 3: sending them on some biblical quest. No one's stopping him.
- 28:55Speaker 3: We have the power to stop him. It's called impeachment.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Why haven't they introduced those articles? Why is everyone acting
- 29:06Speaker 3: so powerless? Including me. The mood of the nation has
- 29:13Speaker 3: rubbed off on me. I feel powerless. I have a
- 29:16Speaker 3: TV show in front of me that I could do
- 29:18Speaker 3: now every week. Can't raise the money to do it.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Don't know how I would raise the money to do it.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I have a podcast that should be heard by millions.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Don't have the money to promote it. Can't get a
- 29:33Speaker 3: network to take it unless I have 100,000 downloads a day.
- 29:36Speaker 3: And if I had 100,000 downloads a day, I wouldn't
- 29:38Speaker 3: need a network. it seems like everybody today wants our
- 29:44Speaker 3: power they want our money they want every drop of
- 29:48Speaker 3: our money billionaires want to wring us out until we
- 29:51Speaker 3: have nothing left to give until our bodies are too
- 29:54Speaker 3: broken then they don't want to pay for healthcare to
- 29:56Speaker 3: fix them And then we become of no use to
- 30:01Speaker 3: them and they just cast us aside. No senior care,
- 30:04Speaker 3: no health care for seniors, nothing. They want to wring
- 30:08Speaker 3: every bit of power we have and every bit of
- 30:10Speaker 3: money we have out of us and then just discard us.
- 30:14Speaker 3: And that's what they're doing. How do we stop them? Well,
- 30:20Speaker 3: we take back our power. But that would require actions.
- 30:26Speaker 4: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Yours.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
- 30:43Speaker 4: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home. It's broadcasting

- 30:56Speaker 4: Listen daily to the Corelcast on your favorite streaming service.
- 31:07Speaker 4: You're listening to the Corelcast. Driving you home or driving

- 31:14Speaker 3: Stream I Dance Because on all services. The song is very,
- 31:18Speaker 3: very personal to me. And the video now is very
- 31:21Speaker 3: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
- 31:23Speaker 3: cry all the time. But I cried the first time
- 31:25Speaker 3: I saw it. We all have somebody, whether it's someone
- 31:28Speaker 3: that's passed from AIDS or some other thing. We all
- 31:31Speaker 3: have people that we danced with. And that's why we dance.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Stream I Dance Because on all services. So here I sit.
- 31:46Speaker 3: With you all, just days away from the final election
- 31:50Speaker 3: midterm results, which we know Democrats are going to win
- 31:53Speaker 3: the House and Senate. I know they are. Trump's going
- 31:57Speaker 3: to try to do stuff, but did you see him
- 31:59Speaker 3: waving yesterday at nobody? He was walking towards Marine One,
- 32:03Speaker 3: and he turned and waved, and they panned out, and
- 32:06Speaker 3: nobody was there. And then he saluted someone at a
- 32:09Speaker 3: door that wasn't open. Okay? Okay? The man's got dementia.
- 32:15Speaker 3: And it would be sad if he weren't so evil.
- 32:19Speaker 3: What's happening to him in public would be sad if
- 32:23Speaker 3: he weren't so evil. Because it's elder abuse. Now the
- 32:28Speaker 3: people around him are using him to get all of
- 32:30Speaker 3: his power. You see what I mean about power? The
- 32:34Speaker 3: people around Trump don't care about Donald Trump. If they
- 32:37Speaker 3: cared about him, they'd tell him to resign and take
- 32:40Speaker 3: care of his health. But they don't care about him.
- 32:43Speaker 3: They care about his power and how his power can
- 32:47Speaker 3: work for them. That's all they care about. Democrats don't
- 32:53Speaker 3: care about power. They care about elections and winning. And
- 32:59Speaker 3: then once they're in power, they don't wield it. They
- 33:01Speaker 3: don't know how to wield it. They act afraid. They
- 33:07Speaker 3: act like they're not supposed to take big swings and
- 33:10Speaker 3: do big things. They act like they're limited. Oh, we
- 33:14Speaker 3: can't do Medicare for all. The Republicans will never go
- 33:17Speaker 3: for it. Get away around it. Have a Democratic president
- 33:22Speaker 3: sign an executive order, whatever. Do what Trump does. But
- 33:27Speaker 3: they won't. They're too pragmatic. They're too bipartisan. There aren't
- 33:33Speaker 3: two parties in this country. There are not two parties,
- 33:38Speaker 3: and MAGA is not a legitimate political party, and the
- 33:41Speaker 3: Republicans have folded to MAGA, so they are no longer
- 33:44Speaker 3: a legitimate party. There's not two legitimate parties in this country.
- 33:50Speaker 3: MAGA is not a legitimate party. And that woman out
- 33:56Speaker 3: there at the polls, she is MAGA. That's who they are.
- 34:02Speaker 3: There's no denying it. There's no running from it. There's
- 34:05Speaker 3: no saying that's just some of them. No, that's all
- 34:09Speaker 3: of them. Maybe they don't have bullhorns, but they use
- 34:12Speaker 3: social media like they're bullhorn. They all have their way
- 34:17Speaker 3: that they are out there saying these negative things. Even
- 34:20Speaker 3: on the video that the guy posted that I just
- 34:23Speaker 3: showed you, even on that video, there are commenters saying,
- 34:28Speaker 3: I deserved it. There are commenters saying that she's in
- 34:32Speaker 3: the right place. There are people supporting her in that video. Oh,
- 34:41Speaker 3: there goes the heart again. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 34:48Speaker 3: So how do we take our power back? Act strong,
- 34:54Speaker 3: I guess. You know, stop letting the minutia cloud our view.
- 35:03Speaker 3: and start demanding big swings. Yes, tax the billionaires out
- 35:07Speaker 3: of existence. No one should have a billion dollars. Elon
- 35:11Speaker 3: Musk just gave $ 200 million to elect Ken Paxton in Texas.
- 35:16Speaker 3: How is that even legal? It shouldn't be. No person
- 35:22Speaker 3: should be able to dump $ 200 million into an election
- 35:26Speaker 3: because they want it to go their way. That's not freedom.
- 35:30Speaker 3: That's not democracy. That's Citizens United, which should be eliminated immediately.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Have I heard any Democrat talk about getting rid of
- 35:39Speaker 3: Citizens United? Any? Has any Democrat talked about getting rid
- 35:45Speaker 3: of Citizens United? Has any Democrat talked about getting rid
- 35:49Speaker 3: of the Electoral College? Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Al Gore won the popular vote. We would have had
- 35:56Speaker 3: a completely different past if the popular vote was what
- 36:02Speaker 3: won the presidency. The Electoral College is outdated and it's
- 36:06Speaker 3: for when the office sought the man and not the
- 36:08Speaker 3: man the office or woman. But have I heard one
- 36:13Speaker 3: Democrat outside of Hillary Clinton say that they need to
- 36:17Speaker 3: get rid of the Electoral College? No. Because the system
- 36:21Speaker 3: works for Democrats. It lets them raise money. They get
- 36:27Speaker 3: to say, see how messed up we are. See how
- 36:34Speaker 3: we're not them. You know? That's where we are.

- 37:03Speaker 3: and I want to invite you to stream my new single,
- 37:05Speaker 3: You Have to Be Proud, on Swishcraft Music. You Have
- 37:08Speaker 3: to Be Proud, by Carell. Go stream it, go march
- 37:12Speaker 3: to it, go wave your rainbow flags and piss off
- 37:15Speaker 3: MAGA to it. Do whatever you need to do to
- 37:18Speaker 3: remind yourself and others, we are stronger than ever, and
- 37:23Speaker 3: they can't have our pride.
- 37:29Speaker 2: You have to be strong.
- 37:32Speaker 1: That was the pharmacy with the drugs they called.
- 37:36Speaker 2: In to try to stop these PVCs.
- 37:38Speaker 3: The PVCs that are a.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Direct cause of the stress that.
- 37:42Speaker 2: This woman caused me on Saturday.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Because yes, I had them Friday morning while singing, but
- 38:02Speaker 3: they went away. The rest of the day, normal ECG.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Saturday morning, normal ECG. I know I can take them
- 38:08Speaker 3: here at home. After the event, PVCs. Sunday, PVCs. Monday, PVCs. Today, PVCs.
- 38:18Speaker 3: I've never had them every day. Ever. Ever.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Never.
- 38:21Speaker 3: This is new. And why am I having them? Stress.
- 38:25Speaker 4: Stress.
- 38:26Speaker 3: I have to drive to that park every morning to
- 38:28Speaker 3: walk Ember. And every time I drive by where this happened,
- 38:31Speaker 3: I get anxiety because no one did anything. They let
- 38:37Speaker 3: her do this, not just to me, but to old
- 38:41Speaker 3: people with canes, shouting at people in their faces with
- 38:46Speaker 3: a bullhorn. So how do we take our power back?
- 38:51Speaker 3: How in America do those of us that are tired
- 38:54Speaker 3: of all of this take it back? We can't be violent. Oh,
- 38:58Speaker 3: people commenting under the video. The moment I saw the video,
- 39:02Speaker 3: I would have struck her. I would have hit her.
- 39:04Speaker 3: I would have hit that out of my face.
- 39:06Speaker 4: No.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Because then she could have gotten me for assault. And
- 39:10Speaker 3: suddenly she would have been the victim. So no.
- 39:14Speaker 2: No.
- 39:17Speaker 3: It shouldn't have gotten to that. I shouldn't have had
- 39:20Speaker 3: to defend myself at the polls. The state and the county.
- 39:25Speaker 3: should have been my defenders, the defenders of my rights.
- 39:29Speaker 3: They weren't. Would I sue them? I don't know. Is
- 39:35Speaker 3: that one way to take my power back? Have her
- 39:38Speaker 3: arrested for battery and She'll just get a ticket or
- 39:41Speaker 3: a citation and then be put on probation or something.
- 39:44Speaker 3: But she did a lot more than bad reads. She
- 39:45Speaker 3: interfered with an election. She infringed my civil rights. Verbal harassment.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Hate crimes by calling me faggot. All kinds of stuff.
- 39:53Speaker 3: Will she ever be tried for that? Probably not. A
- 39:56Speaker 3: judge told Donald Trump not to cut down the trees
- 39:58Speaker 3: at the golf course. Cut them down. Flipped off the judge.
- 40:03Speaker 3: A judge said, take the scaffolding off the Kennedy Center
- 40:06Speaker 3: and reopen it. He closes it and says he's going
- 40:08Speaker 3: to tear it down. No one stops him. Judges are
- 40:14Speaker 3: telling him not to do things, and he's doing them,
- 40:16Speaker 3: and he, you know. So how do we take that
- 40:23Speaker 3: power back? Well, A, we vote. If you're here in Nevada,
- 40:26Speaker 3: please vote for Susie Lee if you're in her district.
- 40:29Speaker 3: She's a very nice lady, but more importantly, she knows
- 40:31Speaker 3: how to get shit done. And she is the most
- 40:34Speaker 3: bipartisan person in Congress. She works with both sides to
- 40:37Speaker 3: get shit done because that's what you have to do.
- 40:39Speaker 3: You can't just not work with both sides. You have
- 40:43Speaker 3: to find reasonable people that you can deal with and
- 40:46Speaker 3: work with them. And she does. You know? Vote for
- 40:52Speaker 3: Aaron Ford if you're in Nevada. Get Lombardo, this billionaire
- 40:56Speaker 3: Trump-loving asshole, out of office. This woman felt protected by
- 41:00Speaker 3: Joe Lombardo. She said on the loudspeaker, the police will
- 41:04Speaker 3: do nothing for me because the police work for Joe Lombardo,
- 41:09Speaker 3: implying that Joe Lombardo agrees with what she's doing. Do you,
- 41:14Speaker 3: Governor Lombardo? Do you agree with what this woman, because
- 41:20Speaker 3: she's out there saying, hey, you're on her side. Are you?
- 41:27Speaker 3: I think he is. He loves Donald Trump. He loves billionaires.
- 41:31Speaker 3: He would hate me. I'm gay. Openly. Loudly. So what
- 41:39Speaker 3: do we do? How do we take this back? Do
- 41:43Speaker 3: you think the midterms are going to be enough? Do you?
- 41:46Speaker 3: I'm serious. How do we take this back? Because if
- 41:48Speaker 3: we can't, if we can't take back our power, then
- 41:52Speaker 3: we need to leave. Or we need to just tune
- 41:55Speaker 3: it all out, ignore politics altogether, and just do what
- 41:58Speaker 3: you need to do to survive in your own world.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Find a bubble. Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Washington, you know, find
- 42:08Speaker 3: a little progressive bubble, live in it, and just don't
- 42:12Speaker 3: be on social media, don't listen to the news, and
- 42:15Speaker 3: just live in your own bubble. You know? Like me.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Just start producing Vegan in Vegas. leave politics, don't be
- 42:26Speaker 3: on social media, have someone else posting about my show,
- 42:30Speaker 3: and just surround myself with entertainers, musicians, actors, and people that,
- 42:36Speaker 3: you know, are vegan, vegan chefs, vegan cook, you know?
- 42:42Speaker 3: That's what you have to do, I guess. Because I'm
- 42:47Speaker 3: tired of feeling powerless against these people. And I don't
- 42:52Speaker 3: condone violence. We can't go out and kill them. We
- 42:54Speaker 3: can't go out and hurt them and shoot them. I mean,
- 42:56Speaker 3: that's not the answer. If you have to do that,
- 42:58Speaker 3: you've already lost. And that's not our job. That's government's
- 43:04Speaker 3: job to keep threats both foreign and domestic. MAGA is
- 43:10Speaker 3: a domestic threat to our sovereignty. They attempted a coup
- 43:17Speaker 3: on January 6th. They committed insurrection. They are a domestic threat.
- 43:24Speaker 3: When you take an oath of office, you swear to
- 43:27Speaker 3: protect the Constitution from threats both foreign and domestic. Why
- 43:32Speaker 3: is no one taking MAGA seriously as the domestic threat
- 43:36Speaker 3: to our sovereignty that they have proven to be?
- 43:39Speaker 5: Why?
- 43:43Speaker 3: What is it going to take from MAGA and from
- 43:45Speaker 3: Donald Trump? Donald Trump is a direct threat to the
- 43:49Speaker 3: sovereignty of the United States. A direct threat. Why has
- 43:55Speaker 3: Congress not removed him? And after the midterms, they still won't.
- 43:58Speaker 3: They'll say they don't have the votes to remove him,
- 44:00Speaker 3: so they won't even try. And that's how you take
- 44:05Speaker 3: back your power. You at least try. When you're drowning,
- 44:11Speaker 3: you try to live. And when you're drowning, you stop thrashing.
- 44:19Speaker 3: You stop kicking and screaming. You chill and you float.
- 44:25Speaker 3: You don't fight it anymore because the fighting is useless.
- 44:30Speaker 3: It makes you sink more. It is time for all
- 44:35Speaker 3: of us to stop fighting and start living. And if
- 44:42Speaker 3: our government won't help facilitate a better life for us,
- 44:46Speaker 3: then we got to make our state do it. If
- 44:49Speaker 3: your government won't give you Medicare for all, then you
- 44:53Speaker 3: got to rally Medicaid for all. If your state won't
- 44:58Speaker 3: protect you from people like her at the polls, then
- 45:01Speaker 3: you have to sue them, so they will. Because the
- 45:04Speaker 3: only thing that talks nowadays is money. And the only
- 45:08Speaker 3: way that laws change is when someone, you know, does
- 45:12Speaker 3: something like this, and then somebody sues, and they change
- 45:15Speaker 3: the law. In Nevada, the law should state, if you
- 45:19Speaker 3: are doing that at a polling place, you will be arrested, period.
- 45:23Speaker 3: That was voter intimidation, clear cut. I mean, you tell me.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Tell me, tell me, is this yes or no voter intimidation?
- 45:32Speaker 5: Today's the first day of early voting in Nevada, which
- 45:36Speaker 5: means it's also the first day of election protection. I
- 45:39Speaker 5: drove to Desert Breeze Community Center, got a chance to
- 45:41Speaker 5: run into folks in the community, saw the voting area,
- 45:44Speaker 5: then saw this lunatic go totally insane.
- 45:47Speaker 6: Trump doesn't need to rape anybody, baby, because people are
- 45:51Speaker 6: on line to have sex with him. We are the
- 45:53Speaker 6: people of the unvaxxed. Democrats are lunatics.
- 46:17Speaker 5: Now we overheard her telling the police that I was
- 46:25Speaker 5: intimidating her, which is insane. The police did nothing to
- 46:28Speaker 5: restrain her, which is a problem. Because we know if
- 46:30Speaker 5: we were at a protest, they would have arrested her
- 46:31Speaker 5: for disturbing the peace. Issue's been flagged, elevated, and we'll
- 46:34Speaker 5: follow up.
- 46:36Speaker 3: Was that voter intimidation? I think it was. If people
- 46:41Speaker 3: were pulling up to the polls just then, would they
- 46:44Speaker 3: turn and go away? Probably. Maybe some did. That's intimidation.
- 46:52Speaker 3: And what was her penalty? What price did she pay
- 46:55Speaker 3: for that? None. And that's the problem. That's why we
- 46:59Speaker 3: all feel like we are powerless. For instance, why are
- 47:03Speaker 3: police not protecting people from ICE? Why are the National
- 47:08Speaker 3: Guard and the police not doing their job and protecting
- 47:12Speaker 3: law-abiding American citizens from being attacked by Trump's ICE? ICE
- 47:19Speaker 3: is not operating under any other orders except Donald Trump's
- 47:24Speaker 3: and Marky Mark or Marky Wayne, whatever his name is.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Why aren't police protecting you from them? Why did they
- 47:33Speaker 3: let Renee Good get shot? Why did they let the
- 47:37Speaker 3: other protester get shot? Why are they dragging away American
- 47:42Speaker 3: citizens with no due process and no real warrants? And
- 47:45Speaker 3: why is nobody stopping them? Why is the police or
- 47:49Speaker 3: the National Guard, our well-regulated militias, not stopping them? Because
- 47:56Speaker 3: the police and National Guard are our well-regulated militias. Why
- 48:01Speaker 3: are they not stopping them? We are committing human rights
- 48:06Speaker 3: violation after human rights violation, war crime after war crime.
- 48:13Speaker 3: No one's stopping it. It's like Israel. Why is no
- 48:17Speaker 3: one stopping Benjamin Netanyahu from what he's doing? Why is
- 48:22Speaker 3: nobody stopping him? Why are Palestinians dying every day simply
- 48:27Speaker 3: because he wants them to? Why is nobody stopping Vladimir Putin?
- 48:33Speaker 3: Ukraine is being deserted by the United States. And no
- 48:39Speaker 3: one's stopping Putin. Oh, sanctions this and blah, blah, blah, that.
- 48:43Speaker 3: No one is serious about stopping Vladimir Putin. Why? Because
- 48:48Speaker 3: he's got oil? Because oligarchs like him? Because he's good
- 48:55Speaker 3: for business? Why are we letting them attack trans people? Why?
- 49:02Speaker 4: Why?
- 49:02Speaker 3: Why are we letting them attack trans children, even Democrats,
- 49:06Speaker 3: even Gavin fucking Newsom? Well, I don't know if women
- 49:11Speaker 3: should be in trans sports, blah, blah, blah. Why are
- 49:15Speaker 3: Democrats feeding into MAGA's narrative so they'll get approval? We're
- 49:22Speaker 3: not protecting the weakest among us. A 13-year-old trans kid
- 49:28Speaker 3: is now going to be made to suffer. Why are
- 49:30Speaker 3: 15-year-old girls that get raped by their fathers being denied abortions?
- 49:35Speaker 3: Why are we hurting them? the most vulnerable among us,
- 49:39Speaker 3: and why is no one protecting them?
- 49:44Speaker 2: Why?
- 49:47Speaker 3: You see, Saturday I couldn't answer those questions. After the
- 49:53Speaker 3: attack on me, I had no answers anymore. And so
- 49:58Speaker 3: I thought, well, the only answer is to leave then. Saturday,
- 50:02Speaker 3: you can look at my search history. Saturday, I was
- 50:04Speaker 3: looking at service dog policies in Portugal, in Spain, in Uruguay,
- 50:09Speaker 3: in Canada. I was looking at properties in Lisbon, Barcelona, Vancouver, Toronto, Quebec, Massachusetts, Springfield, Massachusetts, Worcester, Massachusetts,
- 50:19Speaker 3: just outside of Boston. I was looking at properties in
- 50:23Speaker 3: Puerto Vallarta because I thought, well, the only way for
- 50:27Speaker 3: me to have a happy life now is to get
- 50:29Speaker 3: out of here. And then I realized it's not the place.
- 50:35Speaker 3: It's not the place. It's the people. It's you. If
- 50:40Speaker 3: you can't be happy in Las Vegas, you can't be
- 50:43Speaker 3: happy anywhere. It's your mindset that is the problem. And
- 50:50Speaker 3: so I've been working yesterday and today to change that.
- 50:54Speaker 3: To say, no, we're not going to let these MAGAs win.
- 50:58Speaker 3: You know? We're not going to Let them take over
- 51:03Speaker 3: our country. But I think the sad part is they
- 51:05Speaker 3: already have. I keep saying we're not going to let
- 51:10Speaker 3: them win. But then I say, well, maybe that ship
- 51:14Speaker 3: has sailed. Maybe they won. They're getting everything they want.
- 51:21Speaker 3: You know? It's illegal now to help kids transition. Gay
- 51:27Speaker 3: rights are under attack. We've got the gay community splitting apart,
- 51:31Speaker 3: some saying they don't want to be grouped with trans people.
- 51:36Speaker 3: They're succeeding in splitting us, and they're succeeding in making
- 51:40Speaker 3: us feel powerless. But I'm powerful. I've changed laws. I've
- 51:45Speaker 3: made history. I'm powerful. You're powerful. So why do we
- 51:51Speaker 3: feel so powerless? Because we can't control gas prices? Because
- 51:57Speaker 3: every time we go to the grocery store, we take
- 51:59Speaker 3: a beady?
- 52:02Speaker 1: Really?
- 52:03Speaker 3: Why do we feel? Why do you? I'd love to
- 52:05Speaker 3: see your comments down below. Do you feel empowered? And
- 52:09Speaker 3: if not, why not? Do you feel like we have
- 52:14Speaker 3: the ability to take back control and mend what has
- 52:19Speaker 3: been broken? Do you feel that? I'd love to see
- 52:24Speaker 3: your comments. Do you believe that you and Democrats can
- 52:30Speaker 3: actually take back what was taken from us? Power and
- 52:36Speaker 3: the ability to make change. Positive change. Is that possible?
- 52:56Speaker 1: Patreon is the way.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K, funk, honey. Do you
- 53:06Speaker 3: wanna funk? Do you wanna funk, baby? Hey, it's Carell.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Go stream Do You Wanna Funk? My tribute to Sylvester.
- 53:29Speaker 3: Everywhere you get your music. Carell, do you wanna funk?
- 53:33Speaker 2: Now it's showtime.
- 53:38Speaker 3: So how do we empower ourselves? We vote. That's the
- 53:41Speaker 3: first thing. Don't let them intimidate you. Show up. You know?
- 53:45Speaker 3: And drop off your ballot. Don't mail it. Do not
- 53:48Speaker 3: trust Louis DeJoy and the post office. Show up. Either
- 53:52Speaker 3: vote in person or drop off your ballot in person.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Show up. That's the first way to reclaim power. Second
- 54:01Speaker 3: of all, I've stopped taking shit. This morning at the park,
- 54:04Speaker 3: I know there's like three Trump supporters there, and that's it.
- 54:08Speaker 3: I'm done being nice to them. I'm done talking to them.
- 54:11Speaker 3: I'm done being civil to them. These are people who
- 54:14Speaker 3: not only vote against my rights and my life, but
- 54:16Speaker 3: they support that woman out there screaming at me and
- 54:19Speaker 3: putting her bullhorn into my nose. And bleeding, making my
- 54:22Speaker 3: lip bleed. I'm done with them. Don't give them the
- 54:26Speaker 3: time of day. Don't hurt them. Don't smack them. I
- 54:29Speaker 3: know you want to, but don't. But also, don't take
- 54:33Speaker 3: any more shit from them. We've been silent. It's time
- 54:38Speaker 3: to stop. If someone's at the grocery store and they're
- 54:42Speaker 3: behind you preaching Trumpism, turn around and tell them to
- 54:44Speaker 3: shut the fuck up. You ain't gotta push them. You
- 54:49Speaker 3: ain't gotta hurt them. If they don't, report them. Call security. Well, no,
- 54:55Speaker 3: they won't do anything. I know, but we got to
- 54:58Speaker 3: keep trying, right? Because that's how you reclaim your power.
- 55:02Speaker 3: You don't give up. But not giving up doesn't mean
- 55:10Speaker 3: you take the abuse, okay? It doesn't. You have to
- 55:16Speaker 3: examine in your life when is enough enough? When do
- 55:21Speaker 3: I move to a new neighborhood? When do I stop
- 55:24Speaker 3: talking to these certain people? When do I move to
- 55:27Speaker 3: a new state? When do I move to a new country?
- 55:32Speaker 3: You have to determine that for yourself. Because feeling weak
- 55:39Speaker 3: and unempowered is not a way to live. Feeling out
- 55:43Speaker 3: of control of your country and out of control of
- 55:46Speaker 3: your life, it's not a way to live. And so
- 55:52Speaker 3: we all have to determine in our lives what it
- 55:56Speaker 3: is that we need to do to take our power back.
- 56:01Speaker 3: Maybe it's just concentrate on something else. Get off of
- 56:05Speaker 3: social media. Turn off the news. Step away from the BBC.
- 56:10Speaker 3: Don't watch RTE. Don't listen to MS Now. Maybe you
- 56:14Speaker 3: take your power back by insulating yourself. I'm not saying
- 56:19Speaker 3: be ignorant, and I'm not saying don't vote. I'm simply
- 56:23Speaker 3: saying maybe this is not the time to be so
- 56:27Speaker 3: involved because you don't have any help. You know? It's
- 56:36Speaker 3: one thing if Democrats were on our side. And they
- 56:39Speaker 3: say they are. They talk a good game. They've always
- 56:41Speaker 3: said they were on the side of gays, but they
- 56:43Speaker 3: never passed same-sex marriage as a law. Democrats have always
- 56:47Speaker 3: said they support a woman's right to choose, but they
- 56:49Speaker 3: never put it into law. They left that up to
- 56:52Speaker 3: the Supreme Court, so then they didn't have to tell
- 56:54Speaker 3: their voters that they voted for such a thing. They
- 56:58Speaker 3: say they support gay, bi, and trans, and yet none
- 57:02Speaker 3: of them have stopped these trans bills that have gone through.
- 57:06Speaker 3: So demanding more is something we can do, of demanding
- 57:12Speaker 3: more of our elected leaders. But you can't not vote.
- 57:16Speaker 3: You can't say, well, none of them are good, so
- 57:18Speaker 3: I'm just not going to vote. You can't do that.
- 57:20Speaker 3: That totally gives up your power. And then personally, you
- 57:26Speaker 3: have to decide when enough is enough. You know, my
- 57:30Speaker 3: health has suffered from what happened to me on Saturday.
- 57:34Speaker 3: My mental health has suffered from what happened to me
- 57:37Speaker 3: on Saturday, what happened to me during AIDS, what's happened
- 57:40Speaker 3: to me with my husband dying, what's happened to me
- 57:42Speaker 3: with my mental health has suffered. There comes a point
- 57:48Speaker 3: where I have to say I've suffered enough. I've given
- 57:51Speaker 3: enough to the cause. And the same goes for you.
- 57:58Speaker 3: Because each and every one of you is worthy of happiness.
- 58:03Speaker 3: The Republicans in MAGA make you feel like you're not
- 58:07Speaker 3: worthy of happiness. because you're gay or you support women
- 58:13Speaker 3: or whatever it might be. They want you to feel
- 58:16Speaker 3: that you're less than and you are not deserving of
- 58:20Speaker 3: a good life. Billionaires don't want you to feel like
- 58:24Speaker 3: you should have money. They don't want you to feel
- 58:28Speaker 3: that you deserve nice things unless you have money. In
- 58:32Speaker 3: this country, the only way that you, quote, deserve nice things, unquote,
- 58:37Speaker 3: is if you have a ton of money. Well, that's
- 58:39Speaker 3: not true. You deserve nice things because you're here. You're
- 58:43Speaker 3: a productive member of society. You give of yourself and
- 58:46Speaker 3: your time. You deserve a nice house. You deserve a
- 58:50Speaker 3: nice car. You deserve clean air, clean water. You deserve
- 58:54Speaker 3: electricity you can afford. You don't deserve to huddle in
- 58:57Speaker 3: one room during the summer because you can't air condition
- 58:59Speaker 3: all the others. You deserve better than that. Simply because
- 59:05Speaker 3: you're here. This is your time on planet Earth. This
- 59:09Speaker 3: is your 80 or 90 year stretch. This is it.
- 59:12Speaker 3: You don't get another. And because this is your one
- 59:16Speaker 3: and only time here that we know, we could talk
- 59:18Speaker 3: to Shirley MacLaine about that, but for right now, because
- 59:22Speaker 3: this is our only time here, you deserve the best
- 59:25Speaker 3: that all of planet Earth has to offer you. Not
- 59:29Speaker 3: because you're wealthy, but because you're here. You deserve the
- 59:35Speaker 3: best food. You deserve everything. You deserve the best of
- 59:40Speaker 3: everything because you're here and you're a good person. That's
- 59:45Speaker 3: the only reason. Not because of your job, not because
- 59:48Speaker 3: of your social status, but you're here and you matter
- 59:52Speaker 3: and you count. You're important. You're important. Maybe not to
- 59:58Speaker 3: anyone but your dog, but your important, or your cat,
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: or your gerbil, or your hamster. You matter. Your bird,
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: your fish, you matter. You matter. And so, I bid
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: you adieu for today. I'll probably be back tomorrow. I'm
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: not going to let this stop me. You know? Yeah,
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: I get sweaty because of the palpitations, but oh well.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: At least I'm here. Hopefully the arm being a little
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: tingly here on the top of my hand or my bicep,
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: hopefully that's just from working out. Or my neck, you know,
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: I have a slip disc in my neck or whatever.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: Hopefully when she hit me and I moved my head,
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: I didn't aggravate my back. And tomorrow we fight another day.
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: We vote. We contribute. We are kind to each other.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: We support each other. We help and love each other.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: That's how you take your power back. Love, kindness, joy.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: They've robbed it from us long enough. I am Corral.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: You be who you want to be. Don't hurt anybody.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: They've taken our joy for too long. Let's take it back.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: Let's be happy in spite of them. Let's be happy
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: in their face.
