Episode 788 - Will Tour De France Have a Leg Up on the France Riots? · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Here's your host, Alex Jerry had seen the crazy student France. No,
• 0:22
  I don't mean the Tour de France. I mean the fact that literally parts
• 0:27
  of France are rioting and Emmanuel McCrone is just hanging out the out in John
• 0:33
  Concert. Where are you, you know, President McCrone, where the hell
• 0:39
  are you? Are you enjoying the spectators that actually, if you look at
• 0:44
  it, enjoying along with the spectators, the Tourna France, which just kicked
• 0:48
  off this weekend. But did you hear about the attack of nails, Yes,
• 0:56
  nails on the road of the Tourna France. That from twenty kilometers of
• 1:03
  the finish line, fifteen to twenty riders were affected by nails, attacked their
• 1:11
  wheels were attacked by nails. Okay, And if this has nothing to do
• 1:17
  with the France, well what's going on in France right now? I don't
• 1:22
  I have a rich to say it, because I think they're all connected.
• 1:26
  I think it's going to be a very dangerous course for the Tour de France
• 1:30
  as France is burning, and like Nero, President McCrone is maybe not having
• 1:38
  a French fry, but he's definitely fiddling while France literally burns. I've seen
• 1:42
  cars being thrown off the roofs in different parts of the country all over A
• 1:52
  killing, a killing of a seventeen year old US near Paris by police unfortunately.
• 2:08
  Nielle is his name, who was of Algian heritage, was shot dead
• 2:15
  during a traffic stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre earlier this week. So
• 2:22
  what's led what that has led to is tons and tons of protests that led
• 2:29
  to riots. I mean, people are comparing this to the summer of twenty
• 2:32
  twenty here in the United States. So I really hope France gets their act
• 2:37
  together. Should they even have had the tort of France? As these riots
• 2:44
  continue and arrests are continue to be made, it's it's a very logical question.
• 2:50
  It's not even about sports at that point. It's about safety. And
• 2:53
  as you could tell, there were torti French writers in Saint Sebastian that we're
• 3:00
  attacked by nails on the road. There cannot be separate instances there. There
• 3:07
  has to be something connected. Well. One community that stays connected this whole
• 3:13
  month is of course the adaptive community, the community of people's disabilities. It
• 3:19
  is a DA month It's July and I'm on the One Lego podcast now,
• 3:23
  but again, tune to my other channel, Adapting with Alex S Garrett all
• 3:29
  month long, as we'll have stories and maybe replace some stories. In fact,
• 3:32
  if you click the link below, you'll hear the one of Dana Bowman,
• 3:37
  a paratrooper who actually unfortunately lost both of his legs in a paratrooper you
• 3:44
  know, training accident, and not only lived to tell the story, but
• 3:50
  without with prosthetic legs, he is parachuted to this day. We'll talk to
• 3:55
  him and you'll get to hear that interview to kick off our adaptive series this
• 4:01
  month of July. And of course I'm gonna say it again. If you
• 4:05
  haven't heard it before, you might you might now hear for the first time
• 4:10
  if you haven't heard it on this podcast before, But I'm gonna say it
• 4:13
  again for those of our avid listeners and continuing listeners that disability is not Inability.
• 4:21
  Will definitely be utilizing that hashtag disability is not inability this month because it's
• 4:30
  better than disability or the phrase differently abled. It blends both realities together because
• 4:35
  at the end of the day, disability is not inability and so thirty what
• 4:44
  is it now, thirty three years ago? The ADA was signed to effect
• 4:47
  on July twenty fifth, I want to say twenty sixth, nineteen ninety.
• 4:56
  And yeah, there's a lot of work to go in different areas of the
• 5:01
  city of Long Island, in different places, but for a moment, the
• 5:08
  achievements made in the disambled community are going to be highlighted this month, and
• 5:12
  I figured out why not joining the fun with adapting with Alex Garrett that feature
• 5:16
  and that podcast channel, So just jump over there for some adaptive stories,
• 5:21

  happy two hundred and forty seventh anniversary to the signing of the Declasirom Independence,
• 6:11
