Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: There is no question that there are problems in this
- 0:05Speaker 1: country between police and community.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
- 0:12Speaker 2: police killing of a black man. Now the new developments
- 0:14Speaker 2: in the definitely spatshooting rampage.
- 0:16Speaker 3: And yes, it was a really bad day for him
- 0:17Speaker 3: and this is.
- 0:18Speaker 1: What he did, and so we are in a state
- 0:20Speaker 1: of emergency.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Okay.
- 0:22Speaker 1: White supremacist violence is always have been the number one
- 0:26Speaker 1: threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that
- 0:29Speaker 1: my wife was white.
- 0:31Speaker 3: The practice club bitches. Courrich Nan, Please tell me why
- 0:35Speaker 3: was I your Donkey.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Of the day.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Donkey today for Tuesday, July ninth, goes to the Supreme
- 0:40Speaker 1: Court of the United States of America. Now, for the
- 0:42Speaker 1: past ten days, I have been at my home away
- 0:44Speaker 1: from home, the beautiful island of band Willa, dropping the
- 0:46Speaker 1: clothes bombs for the AXA. You see this beautiful tan
- 0:49Speaker 1: I got Okay, I absolutely got my feel of vitamin
- 0:52Speaker 1: D envy. Don't get excited, Okay, I'm talking about the sun's.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Ultra violet race.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I know what you're doing out there, and you know,
- 0:58Speaker 1: every day I woke up, worked out and had CNN
- 1:01Speaker 1: on MSNBC on while I worked out, and it was
- 1:04Speaker 1: surprising to me that what was dominating the news, especially
- 1:07Speaker 1: on the left leaning networks, was how bad Joe Biden
- 1:10Speaker 1: was at the debate, in speculation on whether he should
- 1:13Speaker 1: drop out. By the way, I'm all for that conversation,
- 1:15Speaker 1: even though I believe the conversation is like two years
- 1:17Speaker 1: too late, because I've been asking those questions, is the
- 1:21Speaker 1: Biden Harris ticket a winnable ticket? When I did the
- 1:23Speaker 1: Daily Show last Dessimba I said President Biden should give
- 1:26Speaker 1: America the biggest Christmas gift and step aside. So I
- 1:28Speaker 1: don't have a problem with any of these questions being asked,
- 1:32Speaker 1: this discussion being had because it should be. I just
- 1:35Speaker 1: think y'all too late on having the conversation, and I
- 1:38Speaker 1: also feel like left leaning networks are not making the
- 1:41Speaker 1: main thing. The main thing. There is an A side
- 1:44Speaker 1: and a B side, and the B side, to me,
- 1:47Speaker 1: you know, should be President Biden.
- 1:50Speaker 3: The A side that A side should.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Be the fact that the Supreme Court is no longer
- 1:55Speaker 1: a legitimate court.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Okay, a court that has.
- 1:58Speaker 1: A six s three conservative majority, and three of those
- 2:01Speaker 1: judges were appointed by Donald Trump. They have done a
- 2:04Speaker 1: lot of highly controversial rulings abolishing Roe v.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Wade, legalizing bribery of public.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Officials, and the one that everybody should should be talking about,
- 2:13Speaker 1: the one that should be the A side on the news,
- 2:16Speaker 1: especially the left leaning outlets, declaring the president of the
- 2:19Speaker 1: United States absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for official acts.
- 2:24Speaker 3: What is an official act? Who knows? But let's go
- 2:27Speaker 3: to ABC News for the report. Police.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Well, this is in no short sense with a big
- 2:32Speaker 2: win for Donald Trump. That means delay. We already knew
- 2:34Speaker 2: that a trial on these chargers would be unlikely before
- 2:38Speaker 2: the presidential election. Now it's all but impossible based on
- 2:41Speaker 2: today's decision. And I want to just quote for you.
- 2:44Speaker 2: It's from the dissent here. This is a Supreme Court
- 2:46Speaker 2: that is sharply divided on this issue along ideological lines.
- 2:50Speaker 2: This was a six to three decision, the conservatives issuing
- 2:54Speaker 2: that decision that Terry just outlined, the liberals in this
- 2:56Speaker 2: case dissenting very very and stark language. In fact, Justice
- 3:01Speaker 2: Sonya Sonomayor said today that the court gives Donald Trump
- 3:05Speaker 2: all the immunity that he asked for and more. She
- 3:09Speaker 2: accuses the Court of an a textual, a historical, and
- 3:12Speaker 2: unjustifiable immunity test that in her view, puts the president
- 3:17Speaker 2: above the law. So as much as many court observers
- 3:21Speaker 2: had hoped that this court would somehow try to find
- 3:24Speaker 2: a decision that would unify on their bench in the country,
- 3:28Speaker 2: they did not do that here. And this is a
- 3:30Speaker 2: sharply divided opinion.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Now, I don't understand why this is the a side
- 3:34Speaker 1: story everywhere. Okay, here's the thing, and correct me if
- 3:37Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this. But when you say a president
- 3:38Speaker 1: is immune from criminal prosecution for official acts, who determines
- 3:42Speaker 1: what sufficiently was not official? It seems to me that
- 3:44Speaker 1: these rulings mean the Supreme Court, and only the Supreme Court,
- 3:47Speaker 1: gets the final word on which crimes presidents are allowed
- 3:50Speaker 1: to commit. And the justices themselves can be paid ridiculous
- 3:53Speaker 1: amounts of money for their opinions if interested people and
- 3:58Speaker 1: wealthy don'tors want to pay them for ruling the way
- 4:01Speaker 1: they want them to.
- 4:01Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of President Biden either, and I'm
- 4:04Speaker 1: glad that people are finally having a conversation that I've
- 4:06Speaker 1: been having, which is Biden needs to step down. But
- 4:09Speaker 1: that story, to me pales in comparison to having a Supreme.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Court that is no longer legitimate. They are as corrupt
- 4:15Speaker 3: as they can possibly be.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And I don't understand why every single media platform isn't
- 4:19Speaker 1: having that conversation for everybody saying, well, President Biden is
- 4:22Speaker 1: the president now, so if he has all of this
- 4:24Speaker 1: kingly power granted by the Supreme Court, how come he
- 4:27Speaker 1: doesn't use it?
- 4:27Speaker 3: I'll tell you why. Because Democrats are cowards, and the Supreme.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Court knows they are cowards, so they will vote for
- 4:32Speaker 1: something like this now knowing that President Biden won't do
- 4:35Speaker 1: a damn thing with it. Not to mention, if the
- 4:37Speaker 1: Supreme Court are the ones who determine what's the crime
- 4:39Speaker 1: and what's not a crime, you really think they're gonna
- 4:41Speaker 1: let President Biden get away with anything.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Of course not. Six of these judges are absolutely loyal
- 4:46Speaker 3: to Maga. It is what it is. Okay.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Supreme Court judges are supposed to be impartial, but not
- 4:51Speaker 1: this one. So even if President Biden did get some
- 4:53Speaker 1: courage and decide to take an aggressive stance in regard
- 4:55Speaker 1: to the stopping some of this foolishness, the Supreme.
- 4:57Speaker 3: Court would probably say it's a crime, and.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Yes, use that power to get a Biden, and they
- 5:03Speaker 1: probably afraid of the bloodshed that would come from Magat supporters.
- 5:06Speaker 1: But let me tell you something, It's gonna be bloodshed regardless. Okay,
- 5:09Speaker 1: violence is inevitable, so you might as well stand for something.
- 5:12Speaker 1: President Biden needed to use the power that the Supreme
- 5:14Speaker 1: Court is granted him to save democracy. What do you want?
- 5:17Speaker 1: A few years ago, I said that one of the
- 5:19Speaker 1: ways of preserve democracy was to expand the Supreme Court.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Og Jim cliber and also said Biden has to expand
- 5:23Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. He said verbatim, if he doesn't, we
- 5:26Speaker 1: would end up exactly where we are now. Well, it
- 5:29Speaker 1: takes courage to do those kinds of things, and Dems
- 5:31Speaker 1: don't have that. But if there was ever a time
- 5:33Speaker 1: to expand the Supreme Court, now is the time.
- 5:36Speaker 3: President Biden said he's not a fan of court packing. Well,
- 5:39Speaker 3: guess what not. Court packing is the reason Roe v.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Wade is overturned, just the reason presidential immunity has been
- 5:44Speaker 1: granted you know the presidents. And don't tell me it
- 5:46Speaker 1: couldn't have happened because Democrats took the White House and
- 5:48Speaker 1: both chambers of Congress, and still Biden didn't want to
- 5:51Speaker 1: do any court rebalancing. Didn't even bring it up that
- 5:54Speaker 1: clearly now is a mistake. I just don't understand how
- 5:57Speaker 1: come this is not the a story everyone President Biden
- 6:01Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be stepping down to that story is dead.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five is something that could happen if
- 6:06Speaker 1: Trump gets back.
- 6:07Speaker 3: In the office. So it's worth discussing.
- 6:08Speaker 1: But right now, as we speak, we have a Supreme
- 6:11Speaker 1: Court that is no longer legitimate. Okay, don't get on
- 6:15Speaker 1: TV either and asking an answer. I hate when y'all
- 6:18Speaker 1: ask answers. It is the Supreme Court no longer legitimate.
- 6:21Speaker 1: That's not a question, it's a statement. The Supreme Court
- 6:24Speaker 1: as we know it is no longer legitimate. And Joe Biden,
- 6:27Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and every other high ranking Democratic official needed
- 6:30Speaker 1: to say it. And all you media outlets, the CNNs,
- 6:33Speaker 1: the MSNBC's Joyanne Reed's.
- 6:35Speaker 3: D L Hugh Lee to view plies.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Okay, all of you ride hard for the Democrats, all
- 6:41Speaker 1: you vote blue, no matter who, folks. That's what y'all
- 6:44Speaker 1: need to be talking about, because regardless of who's in
- 6:46Speaker 1: the White House, the Supreme Court is forever Okay, And
- 6:49Speaker 1: folks need to be demanding that the courts get expanded.
- 6:52Speaker 1: But I truly don't know if we can come back
- 6:53Speaker 1: from this. I'm not a political expert. I have no
- 6:55Speaker 1: idea how any of this works. I just know right
- 6:57Speaker 1: now this not working.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Okay.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Constitute rights like Roe v. Wade are gone. Presidents are
- 7:02Speaker 1: no longer subject to criminal laws. There is a great
- 7:04Speaker 1: article on the nation by Elie Misstel. We need him
- 7:09Speaker 1: up here. By the way, we need Elli up here.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You should go read this article. It's titled It's impossible
- 7:13Speaker 1: to overstate the damage done by the Supreme Court in
- 7:16Speaker 1: this term, and he says some great things in there,
- 7:18Speaker 1: like which I didn't even know. Do y'all understand that
- 7:22Speaker 1: the Supreme Court is the only branch of government that
- 7:24Speaker 1: claims the power to rule unchecked by the other branches
- 7:27Speaker 1: of government. If Congress passes a law to Supreme Court
- 7:30Speaker 1: claims authority to overrule it. If the President issues in order,
- 7:34Speaker 1: the Court claims the authority to overrule it. And if
- 7:37Speaker 1: voters attempt to elect leaders, the Court claims the authority
- 7:40Speaker 1: to overrule them by literally picking whose votes should be
- 7:44Speaker 1: counted are recounted. This is not how democracy works people. Okay,
- 7:49Speaker 1: the Constitution doesn't give the Supreme Court any of these powers.
- 7:51Speaker 3: They just made them up.
- 7:52Speaker 1: So I need media constantly talking about this because the
- 7:55Speaker 1: only answer is to expand the Supreme Court, because, as
- 7:59Speaker 1: Elie said in his article, it is the only normal, peaceful,
- 8:02Speaker 1: constitutional solution to a court that no longer believes it
- 8:06Speaker 1: can be checked by other institutions. Please give this an
- 8:11Speaker 1: illegitimate Supreme Court the biggest he has. That's what y'all
- 8:18Speaker 1: should be talking about right now, because constitutional rights will
- 8:21Speaker 1: be overturned, are being overturned.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Okay.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Project twenty five is a hypothetical thing that could possibly happen.
- 8:28Speaker 3: This is happening right now as we speak. All right, Well,
- 8:34Speaker 3: thank you for that. Donkey Today.
