  Speaker 4: Well, if pride collapsing, we're going to talk about that today. Also, Oh,

• 0:39
  Speaker 4: fix those, aren't I My goodness gracious, Well, we'll get
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: to that and so much more. No, Hi, everyone, it
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: is a Carrell show.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I am Corell.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I see that audio is only coming out of one side.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I apologize.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: We will get to that, you know, as soon as
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I can, I guess during a break. But we've got
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: so much to talk about today. Let me hear it. Well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: it's coming out of one of your speakers. And one
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: of me is better than none of me, right, A
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: half of me is better than none of me at all.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Let's hope we can get through today without any kind
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: of vasalveagel incidences or strokes or whatever that was I
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: had last week. The doctors have not seen me yet,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: so I don't know. And by the way, I am
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: not pale. I have new lighting adjustments in here, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: the lighting is not as yellow, it's more blue. So
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: it's making me look well, a little pale. But I'm
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: not this pale. I am not this white, I promise.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: We got so much to talk about today, so much
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: going on in the world.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Trump held a prayer vigil. Did you see?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: He held a prayer vigil on the mall and they
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: all went there and prayed, and he declared us a
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Christian national nation. And yes, Trump held a prayer vigil.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: And next the Klan is going to be hosting a
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Black Lives Matter rally because that, you know, that is
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the absurdity of Donald Trump hosting a prayer vigil. You know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: he is not a Christian. He is not religious in
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: any way. And you know, I really wish Christians would
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: spend less time gathering and pronouncing their Christianity and more
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: time actually practicing what their religion basically says they should do,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: because most.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Of them do not act very Christian.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Let's be real. And you know, I mean while they
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: were out there rallying, people are starving. Food banks are going,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: you know, without food, and people are struggling at the
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: five dollars a gallon gas point. And I don't know
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: about y'all, but I went grocery shopping this weekend. Child.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, you might as well take out a second
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: mortgage before you go, so that you know we've got.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: All that going on.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: He's out there having a prayer vigil, something a US
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: president should not have. What about Muslim Americans, What about
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Buddhist Americans? What about non Christian Americans? Of course he
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: doesn't care at truly. And the hypocrisy, I mean, really,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: what next The Klan is gonna host, you know, an
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: NAACP awards.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: It's just it's ridiculous.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: And today he decided to drop the lawsuit that he
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: was going to lose against the IRS in exchange get this,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: in exchange for a one point seven billion dollars slush
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: fund set up to protect his enemies.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I am not making this up.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: The federal government, you and me are going to give
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump one point seven billion dollars to set up
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: a fund for people that he feels were unjustly targeted
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: by the government, including January sixth seditionist and rioters. Now,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: remember I told you you have no idea how much
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a billionaire. Your mind can't comprehend it. Think about this.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: A million seconds is eleven days. A billion seconds is
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: thirty two years. Donald Trump's slush fund of one point
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: seven billion dollars means that for every hour of his
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: presidency that we have left, okay, for every hour of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the next three years twenty four to seven, we are
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: funding sixty five thousand dollars an hour for the next
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: three years. For the entire duration of his presidency, this
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: fund can distribute sixty five thousand dollars per hour before
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: it is depleted. When you hear the term billion, you
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: just have no idea how much that really is. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now it's a lot. No one
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: should have a billion dollars, certainly not Trump in some
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: flush fund sixty five thousand dollars per hour to defend
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: people that he thinks have been unjustly acue. Meanwhile, he
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: is on a witch hunt for people like things Camy
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: and Earth. Wait, yes, no, did he died, Well, now
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Mueller dies. Call mes a lot. So you know he's
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: out trying to he put Biden in jail if he could.
• 5:49

• 5:53

• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: so near because showtime is here. So on with the show.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Let's give it a go.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Carrill is the one that you need to know, all right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: The audio being in mono is really bothering me. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna fix it. But you guys aren't gonna see
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: me for a second. I'll keep talking because oh my god,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, how ridiculous is it that Donald Trump is
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: spending sixty five thousand dollars an hour of our taxpayers money?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: You know, he has set up this slush fund of
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: one point seven billion dollars and it doesn't even really
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: say who it's going to, you know, people to help
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: defend people who were unjust targets of.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Who the law.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: You know, a lot of people still remember the Epstein files. Okay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you're one of them, but a
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: lot of people still remember the Epstein files. I certainly do,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and I don't understand why we are not.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Pursuing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Let's see if I can switch the audio. Let's see
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: there we go. Now we got the stereo. Wooo, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: don't know, you know why we are not punishing people
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: in the Epstein files. I really don't. The world doesn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: know why we're not punishing people in the Epstein files.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: But meanwhile, while we're not punishing people in the Epstein files,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: he is setting up this fund to help defend people
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: like seditionists. Sixty five thousand dollars per hour for three years.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: That is someone's annual salary. Okay, think about that. We
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: have just given this guy access twenty four hours a
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: day to sixty five thousand dollars an hour. I really
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: one of the points of my show that I really
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: want to drive home is how absurd a lot of
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: the things that we hear are. And when it comes
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: to billions, we hear that term now thrown around all
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the time. Our parents did not hear the term billion
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: thrown around, because just fifty years ago there were very
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: few billionaires, if any okay, And our government, yes, it
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: threw around billions of dollars, but not often, and so
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: our brains they really have trouble phonically billion million sounds alike.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: One letter difference doesn't seem like too big of a difference,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: does it? A million to a billion. It doesn't really
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: seem like that big of a difference. But one point
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: seven billion dollars equates to sixty five thousand dollars an
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: hour for three years. So every hour Donald Trump could
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: give somebody their annual salary sixty five grand every hour,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: twenty four hours a day for three years, or I
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: don't know, fund food stamps, maybe set up a victim's
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: fund for the survival. You know, he's setting up a
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: fund for people he deems that have been wrong. What
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: about a fund for the Epstein victims whose lives were
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: ruined by him and his friends. So look, after the
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: incident that I had happen Thursday, I am trying to
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: stay calm on the show, okay, because maybe it was
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: stress related, I don't know, but I'm trying to stay calm,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and that will mean I'm gonna have to change some
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: of the content. Now. I'm not gonna get angry and
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: furious and screaming yell about this one point seven billion dollars.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: But I will tell you this, We're living in the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: upside down, you know, we're living in the upside down.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: We can so flippantly give him that much money, but
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: the minute we try to go to the government for
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: some sort of help. Any organization that you may hear.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: We're gonna be talking about pride organizations because Long Beach
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Pride Festival was canceled this weekend, not the Pride event.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: They still had a parade, and they still had a
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: little gathering at Bixby Park and all of that, but
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: the actual festival was canceled. And we're gonna tell you why.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I'm sort of in the middle of that story. We'll
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: tell you, you know, what's going on with that and why
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: it got canceled. But pride organizations, everyone in the country
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: you could fund with that one point seven billion dollars.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Before we move topics, do you want me to read
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: to you from let's see, let's read to you from
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the news story. You know what the money is earmarked for.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: And this was his way of dropping the lawsuit against
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the irs. He was gonna lose that lawsuit. So the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Justice Department on Monday announced the creation of a one
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: point seven seventeen seventy six one point seven seven six
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: isn't that cute billion dollar fund to compensate read pay
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: off President Trump allies who claimed they were unfairly targeted
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: by the previous administration. Now, look, no other president has
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: done this. It is an unprecedented move that would allow
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the president's administration to pay his supporters from a government
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: agency he controls with taxpayers. There's money that and he
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: gets a formal apology from the IRS for leaking his
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: tax returns, tax returns which should have been disclosed a
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: decade ago. It's an anti weaponization fund. Of course, it
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: will face challenges in court, I hope so. But sixty
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: five thousand dollars per hour to his allies, okay, to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: his friends. Meanwhile, Iran has fallen out of the news.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: You're not hearing updates every day in American media about Iran.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: You know, the thing that's causing us to have the
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: five that. I mean, they don't care. He made it clear.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: He spoke to you, the American people, and said he
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: does not care about your finances. So you know, there
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: we have it. Now today's show. I don't want to
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: be all Trump centric because I'm just I'm sick the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: fucking death of him. I am, But I like to
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: do a little segment called the Scroll, which is stuff
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: from social media. So I want to play you. Harry J.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Sissen Sison.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Harry J.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Sison cisen he'll be a handsome man one day. People
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: think he's cute now, but he's a kid. But when
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: he's older, he'll be handsome. And he is on the
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: right side of issues. But he likes to report on
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the images that Donald Trump posts. Wait till you see
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: what Trump was doing last night. Here, I'll let Harry J.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Sison tell you on the scroll.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, and I'm going to show you some of the posts.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: So here.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: At four point fifty pm, he posted this AI image
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: of I have no idea what's going on here? I
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: guess he's causplaying as part of space force in the military,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: with robots around him, American flags all of it. Then
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: at four fifty one, Bye bye fast boats America bombing
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: in Iranian boat apparently. And then here's where it starts
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: to get really really weird. At four fifty three pm,
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: he posted an AI image of him walking with an
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: alien who is seemingly handcuffed with Secret Service agents and
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: the military behind him. Why he posted this, we have
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: absolutely no idea, but this say real post from the
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: President of the United States. Then at five point fourteen pm,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: he's still causplaying as a member of the military, apparently
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: blowing up space stations. It says space Force at the top.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: And then another one at five sixteen pm, where it
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: looks like he's nuking different parts of Earth. That looks
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: like a nuclear explosion and he's launching them from outer space.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: I have no idea what we're looking at here. Maybe
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I'm just a crazy liberal, but I don't think the
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: president of the United States should be posting ai images
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: of him nuking other countries joking. And I'm going to
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: show you some of the posts.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: All right here at four. So he's doing this while
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: his poll numbers are the worst of any seated president.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: His approval rating is only thirty four percent, his disapproval
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: ratings on the economy, the war, and everything. He's completely underwater.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: We are out here struggling. I know, I went grocery
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: shopping this weekend. It was not a pleasant experience. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: he is posting these bizarre images that he's mentally unstable.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, all you would have to do to invoke
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: the twenty fifth is to post his truth social a
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: seated president posting an image of him walking with an
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: alien in handcuffs, or him at some space station nuking
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: countries of the world. This, I mean, Hitler didn't even
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: do that. This guy, he's lost his marbles. He is
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: demented and everyone is just indulging him. I don't understand it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I don't get it, and it's a mess. Also on
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: the scroll today, I'll show you what I posted this morning.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: There we go. That's Ember and I looking over as
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Mount Saint Helen's erupt. Today was the day in nineteen
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: eighty I'm hard to believe it was forty six years ago. Huh,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: But today was the day in nineteen eighty I was
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: eighteen years old that Mount Saint Helens erupted. What a
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: tragic day in history. First of all, people died, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: second of all, it's a great reminder that we live
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: in a world that is active, and that Yellowstone, the
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Yellowstone Caldera could blow, and if it were to say
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: goodbye to the west. The Cascadia. What's it called the Cascadia. Oh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: it's not a fault. It's called the Cascadias. Oh well,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I can look it up, can't I. That's the beauty
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: of modern technology today. Abduction zone? Is it called the
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Cascadia subduction zone? If that let loose, everything from Los
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Angeles to Seattle could possibly shift at least four to
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: eight feet, and that would cause massive tsunamis, millions of
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: people dead. And we think all these things aren't going
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: to happen to us. Forty six years ago today, people
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: were just sitting around and Mount Saint Helen's went boom.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I remember the ash falling in Los Angeles, and that's
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles away, and that
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: was today, in nineteen eighty. So yeah, that's a little
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: reminder of what happened today. Mount Saint Helen's exploded. You
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: can check my social Instagram Corell Official. Every day I
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: post a little fun fact about something that happened today
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: in history. Today it's Mount Saint Helen's and we are
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: going to be talking about gay pride and this sort
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: of relates, but it relates larger to the Trump issue
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: and to some thing that I'm struggling with and I've
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: talked about here on the show. We cannot keep letting
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Trump make us so unhappy. We can't every day more
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: absurdities like today with this slush fund that he's setting up.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: You know, the prayer rally where he declared us a
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Christian nation all this other crap, you know, So we
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: can't let that make us furious. But is the answer
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: to be completely oblivious. Well, someone that I'm not overly
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: a fan of has gotten into a shitload of trouble
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: because of a post that he she posted on social
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: media and all that rue. Paul explains, there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: Is no easy fix.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: We are talking forty five years of under education in
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: this country when they started defunding educational programs in schools
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: and everything. So when you talk about rational digging or
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: critical thinking.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Who would you be talking to Because.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Most of the population don't know how to do that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: They weren't taught how to do that. They believe in
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: superstition and fairy tales. So the bad guys win, they won,
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: you know, Fascism is back.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yay.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: I mean at this point, the only thing we can do,
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: our only come up and is to party and dance
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: and have fun and laughed and let's play games.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Because they got what they wanted. Man, they got it, well,
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: they got it. So I'm gonna be dancing, I'm gonna
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: be having some fun. Join me hey there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, even though I don't like Ruelette.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Her husband owns a ranch in Wyoming where they allow fracking.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I will say this, his first points are spot on.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I have maintained that for forty five years or more
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: in this country we have defunded education. That it's not
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: an accident that we went from being the most respected
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: public schools system in the world to the least. That's
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: not an accident. This is how Donald Trump happened, this
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: is how George W. Bush happened. And I agree with
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: ru when he said, when you ask people for critical thinking,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: who are you asking? These people are not capable of
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: it because they don't have that skill set, because they
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: were not taught that skill set, because education has failed
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: them for fifty years. Okay, RuPaul is absolutely right about that,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: absolutely right that for the last fifty years, education has
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: gone downhill, and subsequently critical thinking, the ability to question,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: the ability to see logic, the ability to accept facts
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: as facts, all of that has gone the way because
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: we don't fund education. We charge kids to get in college.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Many of them now don't want to incur that debt,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: so they're not going.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Second, of all our high schools and our middle schools,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: we do not reward our teachers. We're not getting the
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: best in the brightest, and we're tying their hands with.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: No is show.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: So we are we are tying the hands of our
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: teachers with the curriculum that we allow them to teach. Uh,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: and we are dumbing down the curriculum, banning books preventing
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: critical thinking. So I agree with RuPaul on that, okay,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: And then he sort of concedes the victory. He says, look,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: fascism is back, it's here. Well, I can't argue with
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: him on that either. That is actually true, and not
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: just in the United States. We are seeing a swing
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: to the right in many many countries. So Rue is
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: right that education is gone, that critical thinking skills and
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: other such skill sets are not possessed by a majority
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: of the American people. And I fully agree with him
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: when he said they believe in fairy tales. That's the
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: first hint I've gotten that he's an atheist. Because I
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: have this morning in the park a friend of mine, Sherry.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I do truly like Sherry I do, but she and
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: this widow, his wife just died, and now he's walking
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: the dog, Jasper, the Corgi. They were talking the Bible,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: and it just made me sick, and I said, oh,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you should, You should read the Jefferson Bible. He went,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Thomas Jefferson wrote the Bible. He rewrote it, and he
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: took out all the hocus pocus stuff and said that
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: it had a lot of great lessons without all the
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: hocus pocus stuff. And they both said, but the Bible
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: explicitly says it is the Word of God and shall
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: not be touched by man. And I looked at them
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: and said, are you both idiots? I actually said this,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I said, are you both idiots? I said, you realize
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the Bible has been written rewritten at least seven times
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: by men, and the version that you read right now
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: was rewritten by a king named James. So are you
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: aware that you are not reading the text of the
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: original Holy Bible. You're reading the seventh interpretation by man. Oh?
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: They they didn't like that, but so what. So RuPaul's right,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: people believe in fairy tales. They have no critical thinking,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: and the education system is gone. But his answer to
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: dance and sing and just party on like the end
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: of the world, like an end of the world party.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I have issues with an elite millionaire who could actually
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: fund the fight against fascist fascism, saying that the only
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: alternative is to dance and party. Now under his post
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: in the comments, he is getting smacked around by a
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: lot of people who say, well, that's nice for you,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: miss millionaire. But you know, for those of us who
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: aren't like ru Paul doesn't know how much gas is.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Ru Paul has no clue. It's not hurting his bottom
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: line the price of gas. It's not affecting the price
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: of his eyelashes or his wigs, and he certainly has
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: no clue about the price of jet fuel, you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: as he flies around either first class or private.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: So for a.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Multi millionaire to tell non millionaires that their only hope
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: since fascism has won is to dance and sing and party,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: I have a problem with that. I'm not saying you
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: should be depressed and not party and not dance and
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: not sing. You know, I'm not saying that, But I
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: am saying, if you're a millionaire and you can actually
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: fund the fight against fascism, then telling people to just
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: go party and dance and sing is tone deaf. So
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I really believe that this post by RuPaul is kind
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: of tone deaf. What do you all think I'd love
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: to You know, what do you think? Do you think
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: he's tone deaf? Do you think that the post that
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: he posts that is it's true? Or do you think
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: he's town deaths?
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: No easy fix. We are talking forty five.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Years of under education in this country when they started
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: defunding educational programs in schools and everything. So when you
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: talk about rational thinking or critical thinking, who would you
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: be talking to Because most of the population don't know
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: how to do that. They weren't taught how to do that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: They believe in superstition and fairy tales. So the bad
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: guys win, they won.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: You know, fascism is back.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yay.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: I mean at this point, the.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: Only thing we can do, our only come up and
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: is to party and dance and have fun and laughed
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: and let's play games.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Because they got what they wanted. Man, they got it, well,
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: they got it. So I'm gonna be dancing, I'm gonna
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: be having some fun.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Join me.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, So tone deaf celebrity or is he right? It's
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: pretty much the end of life as we know it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: So just go dance, party and have your joy be
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: your resistance. I think that we have to strike a balance, Okay,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: I do. I don't think we can let all of
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: this get us so depressed and so down and raise
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: our blood pressure and hurt us physically. Okay, I don't.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And if anything is hurting you physically, you should walk
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: away from it. If following the news and following Donald
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Trump is adversely affecting your health, yes, step away from it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Go dance, go sing, go party, take care of yourself. Okay, truly,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: if it's really affecting you, like me and like Keith Oberman, yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: take a break. Go dance and party and sing. But
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: there will come a time we got to stop dance
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: and sing and partying and singing and get back to
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: the business at hand, which is helping candidates win in
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: the midterms, informing people, knocking on doors, calling people, doing
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: whatever you can to help Democrats win the midterms.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Big.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: You know, Look, RuPaul can leave the country. Okay, he's
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: got enough money. And I mean, I don't know how
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: much he's worth, but I bet it's a lot. Computer
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: how much is RuPaul's net worth? Let's see, I bet
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: it's a lot. Sixty million dollars. So do you think
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: someone with sixty million dollars cares about gas prices? Or
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: food prices or any of that. No, of course, not,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: of course not so his solution go dance and sing
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and party. Well, okay, if I had sixty million dollars,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: maybe that's how I'd be thinking about it right now too.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'd be like, well, you know, baptism is one
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: trump ism is there left? Just have a good time.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got sixty million dollars. But for you
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: and I I'm not sure that's but bathe advice. What
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: do you think? All right, we'll talk pride, We'll make
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: the fast te Prie ad.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yours.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Listen daily to the corell cast on your favorite streaming service.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: You're listening to the corell cast driving you home or
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: driving you crazy. It's broadcasting from a completely different point
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: of view. Yours listen daily to the corel cast on
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: your favorite streaming service. You're listening to the corelle cast
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: driving you home orge driving you crazy?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: All right, Rachel Kapper in the chat room, Hi, Rachel,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: your daughter is delight. I had lunch with your daughter
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. She was a delight. She's a vegan and
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: she's just as militant about it as I am, and
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: she's a chef. Just a wonderful, wonderful lunch with her
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: and your husband Norm. And now maybe you'll come to Vegas,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Rachel and come and see me, because you're the one.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: So come on, girl, come and see the eagles at
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: the Fear. You know you want to come on. So
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: the consensus in the chat room is that RuPaul's tone
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: death And if you've ever heard her sing, you'd agree.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: And look, I don't want to pile on him too
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: much because he made great points. He understands how we
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: got here. That it's not an accident. The A and
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: USA is not for accident that they defunded education. They
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: pro television programming. Remember when television programming for kids made
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: them think, you know, put critical thinking skills. I watch
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: NHK World, which y'all should too. There's an app for
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: it for your Apple TV. It's the Japanese CNN. I
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: love their programming and they do a lot of programming
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: on weekends for kids, and they teach them things. You know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: they teach them. They don't just you know, entertain them.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: They teach them critical thinking. You know, they teach kids
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: in Japan how to ride a train before they're eight
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: years old. They literally have classes at school to teach
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: them how to ride trains, how to buy tickets, how
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: to go get on the train. I mean, they're just
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: so ahead of us over there and not in the
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: state that we're in, by the way. But I'm not
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: saying millionaires shouldn't comment, because if you know, if the
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: world ever blessed me to become one, I would still comment.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: But I think every millionaire should have to have been
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: broke for at least forty years of their life before
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: they become a millionaire. You know, I really do. I
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: really believe that no one should get a million dollars
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: until they're forty and they should have had to have experienced.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Everybody in America. You know how in Israel they all
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: have to serve in the military for two years when
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: they come out of high school. They have to it's
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: must for two years. Every American should have to live
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: off of social programs. That includes senators, everybody from eighteen
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: to twenty. You should have to live off of welfare
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: and social services, food stamps, all of it. Because if
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: all of America experienced social programs, if all of America
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: experienced healthcare on Medicare if Congress. I still believe to
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: this day that Congress should not get excellent health care.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: They should get Medicare. That's what they should get. Period.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I believe Congress should have to live on SNAP benefits.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Congress should live on all public programs. They shouldn't get
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: a salary, they should get SNAP and Medicare. I believe
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: that because those programs would change immediately if they did so.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I don't want to dump on RuPaul too badly. She
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: did come up poor. You know, she used to be
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: an activist. I just think now she's been rich for
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: so long, she's out of touch. And I get her sentiment.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree with her sentiment. Her sentiment really is,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: you can't take all this shit, so seriously, you know
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: you gotta dan look during AIDS, one of our acts
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: of resilience was queer joy. Okay, was happiness and joy.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: And that brings us to the pride topic. So Thursday,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: a friend of mine, out of the blue, sends me
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: an email from the city and it's a seat they
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: work for the city, and I'm not going to name names,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: and it's a cease and desist letter that the city
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: sent to the Long Beach Pride organization. Now, let me
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: tell you how Pride in Long Beach works. Long Beach Pride, Inc.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Is a five oh one c three nonprofit staffed by volunteers.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Their sole job. Their only job is to put on
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: the festival. That's it. And we'll talk about it when
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: we come back. They kept there with big scandals with
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: all over them. And I'll tell you what the letter
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: said said.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: And then what if you're not visiting really corell dot
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: com daily, you're missing out. Get the podcast videos and
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: the blug including recipes at really correl dot com. That's
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: really k A R e l dot com.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear. Correll is
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: so near because show time is here. So on with
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the show. Let's give it a go.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Correll is the one that you need to know.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: So one of my first years in Long Beach Pride started.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I was there for the first one and Judy Gold,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I believe, helped start it and pride Long Beach Pride.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: It used to be done through the center, okay, the
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Gay Center. Then it branched out and Long Beach Pride
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Ink became a five oh one c three whose sole
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: purpose was to put on the parade and the festival. Okay,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: and they did so through contributions from corporations and private
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: individuals and ticket sales and all of that. And for
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: forty years they've held a parade and a festival except
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: this year. And let me tell you what happened. Thursday.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I saw a cease and desist letter that had been
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: issued to Pride the day before the festival was to open,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: that said, you have until five o'clock tomorrow to get
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: us all of these documents and allow inspections, or we
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: can't allow the festival at this location to proceed. At
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Marina Green, now it was already set up, The tenth
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: were already set up, the fence was already put around,
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was ready to go. But Long Beach
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Pride Ink had not delivered sixty five days in advance
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: the plans that they needed to, or fourteen days in
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: advance the plans that they needed to. In fact, the
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: day before the event, they did not deliver what they
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: needed to. And two days before the event, just two
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: days guess what, they once again switched vendors. They switched
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: the production company, so the main stage and everything was
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: suddenly handled by somebody new and that didn't give that
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: new you know, vendor the time or production company the
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: time to submit all the documents. So Friday, at four
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: thirty thirty minutes prior to the teen festival going on,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: the city shut it all down. Now, the parade went on,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: and that's because Long Beach Pride Ink no longer is
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: in charge of the parade because they couldn't raise enough money,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: so the city took it over and funded it and
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: also permitted it and everything the city did it so
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Long Beach Pride only had one job to produce the festival,
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: and they did not get the paperwork in. So what
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: does Long Beach Pride do when the city polls to plug?
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Goes in all the media blaming the city. So what
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: does the city do? At five point thirty six on Friday,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I got the email. First, they issue a press release
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: that outlines everything they went through and it shows clearly
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: that it was Long Beach Pride's fault that they did
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: not get. And these pride boards, they are clicky, they
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: are petty, they are like they think of an hoa.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: A pride board is just like an hoa, exactly like one.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: So that gives you some idea. So they said, the
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: parade's still going on, all of the bar festivities are
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: still going on, but the festival itself, which they charged
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: forty dollars a person to, was not going to go on.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: What we now find out is they only had one
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand of the five hundred thousand dollars that they
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: needed raised. So I don't know where they were going
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: to come up with that shortfall. Number two, they'd only
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: sold four hundred or so tickets in advance. That's it,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: four hundred tickets. Long Beach Pride used to host thousands
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: of people and they'd only sold four hundred tickets in advance. Well,
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: the city still wanted to work with Pride, So Saturday morning,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: the city manager goes to work on the weekend and says, look,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: because of what you you didn't get any of this in.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: We can't have it at Marina Green, but we can
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: let you have it at the terrast Theater, which will
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: hold three thousand people. You can use the plaza out
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: front of the Terist Theater. You just can't have alcohol
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: or fence it in because there's no time, But that'll
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: accommodate three thousand people and you can move most of
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: the vendors over to Bixby Park, where there's already events
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: planned and put the show on there at the Clamshell.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: And to cover some of the costs, the mayor offered
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: to privately fundraise fifty thousand dollars. Pride said no, turned
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: the city down, and then again the president of Pride
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: tried to make it like Long Beach, the most gay
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: friendly city around, was being a homophobic and that this
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: was all Donald Trump's fault and Long Beach's fault. I'm
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: disgusted with the board of Long Beach Pride. I'm disgusted
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: with the way they handled it. If they had documents,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: which they said they had submitted, the city said they didn't.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: They said they did. Why didn't they produce the documents
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: to any of the media outlets? Why didn't they say here?
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: You know, a member of Pride board came forward and said,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: I saw the email on Thursday, and I saw the
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: email on Friday, and the Pride board did nothing to
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: respond to the email. So this is solely the community
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: failing itself. And I started to think about this and
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: talk to people who were still there in Long Beach
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: over the weekend, the festival being canceled is possibly the
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: best thing that ever happened to Long Beach Pride. And
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: let me tell you why. First of all, all the
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: haters are gonna hate, and under the post where it
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: said it was canceled, you get all these people praise
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: God and the country. You know, fuck them. No, this
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: is probably the best thing to happen because it's gonna
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: make the festival be reset. Pride festivals in our country
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: have gotten out of control. They're charging many, not all, okay, many.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: They charged way too much money for what you get. Okay. Now,
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Orlando doesn't charge, Seattle doesn't charge. Long Beach is one
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: of the few that charges and charges forty bucks a person.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people don't even go to it.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: It wasn't missed. Here's what people don't want to admit.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: It wasn't missed. People still had a good time because
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: it goes back to why pride started. Gay Pride events
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: started as protests. They didn't need the city's involvement, they
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: didn't need permits. They that wasn't what it was. You
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: gathered in the gay district, you protested. That was the parade,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: and then you went to the clubs afterwards and partied,
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: and then someone decided, hey, why don't we have a
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: festival afterwards where everyone can after the parade can lead
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: into the festival, and we'll have political rallies, we'll have speakers.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: So they started doing that, and then they found out
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: about beer sponsors and alcohol sponsors and dance tent sponsors
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: and select peparty performances and blah blah blah, and they
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: turned into this thing that they are now. I think
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: the best thing that happened was it getting canceled. And
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: when the new board takes shape, I hope they go
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: back to a making Long Beach Pride free. It should
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: be free. No one should be priced out of pride,
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: and forty bucks in today's economy, I wouldn't have paid it,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: you know, that's the first thing. Pride festivals should be free.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Second of all, they should not you know, Long Beach
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Pride raised zero from corporate sponsors. Zero. Now, I know
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: that many cut their budgets, but zero, and they needed
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: five hundred thousand dollars. They only raised one hundred thousand.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: They couldn't find five hundred donors with one thousand dollars
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: in a gay community that has tens of thousands of people.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: They didn't look. The mayor was ready to pop off
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: fifty k, so the money was out there, they didn't
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: go find it. This is the community failing itself. This
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: is not a city going on a tirade against a community.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: But the gay organization wanted to frame it that way.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: But that's not what happened. And we live in a
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: time where now people suit they take the facts and
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: spin them to their advantage. Long Beach Pride was out
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: there all weekend long saying, oh no, it's the city.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: It's the city. The city offered you the terrorist theater,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: the city offered you more at Bixby Park, the mayor
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: offered to raise fifty k for you. You turned them
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: all down. But more importantly, we need to get back
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: to what pride really is about. It's not merchandise, it's
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: not corporate sponsors, it's none of that. It's going back
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: to what Rup Paul said, it's a mixture of political responsibility. Okay,
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: because that's what Pride should be. Candidates show up, they
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: do speeches and they should you know, bills are talked about,
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: ways that we can progress politically are talked about. It
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: pride and should be and then there's a party to
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: let loose and celebrate queer joy, much like RuPaul said.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: See there's a place for both. And I think that's
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: why RuPaul was toned deaf. There's a place for both.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: There's a place to be politically active, politically committed, and
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: certainly aware of what's going on in the news, and
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: yet still have a part of you that can go
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: and party and dance and sing. It doesn't have to
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: be And that's my message, and I think that should
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: have been RuPaul's message. And that's why I want to
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: talk about the show here, the Correl show, because I
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: have been struggling with the equation and I think I'm
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: finding it. And that equation is it doesn't have to
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: be all Trump, all anger, all yelling, all screaming all
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: the time. There can be joy. There can be just funny,
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: stupid topics. But Long Beach Pride, Inc. They're the ones
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: who let down the Long Beach community. And Pride organizations
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: need to stop being so much like Hoa's and so
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: clicky and infighting, and remember that they serve the community.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: That's their job, just like Hoisha. Remember they serve the homeowners,
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: they serve the community, and they let the community down.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: They should have struck a deal with the city, taken
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: the fifty grand, opened the Teararis Theater. THEA Robin s
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: and Thelma Houston should have performed at the Terrorist Theater.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: They would have liked that much better anyway, you know.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Or over at Bixby Park in the public clamshell there
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: the little outdoor clamshell amphitheater, very small, but still they
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: could have rocked it. They'd already been paid a deposit.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: I bet if someone had called them and said come
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: on down, they would have.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: So.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: I think there's a balance, a balance of paying attention,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: critically thinking, being politically active, but also still enjoying life.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: And I think gay pride festivals are the personification of
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: that message. Come learn about the policies that are out
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: there right now affecting you, and how to effectively combat them.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Meet your representatives, Talk to your representatives, but then go
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: party with your friends. I think a pride festival encompasses
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: is how lives should be. Be politically active, politically responsible,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: stand up for a cause, but then go party and
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: have a good time, and don't forget that life is short.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: There can be a balance, Okay, there can ZERI has
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: canceled their pride. Touson is canceling their pride. Yep, yep, yep.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: Let's see if they look down on those programs. They
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: think people that are on those social programs are failures,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: and they consider themselves successful, no matter how they got there. Absolutely,
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: I said that to Sort. I say that to this weekend.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: We look at poor people as failures. I'm not a failure.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not a failure. Am I lower middle class? Yep?
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: But I'm not a failure. Can I afford to fly
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: off and see all of my friends right now? No,
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: I'd love to go to Reno and see my friend Tyler.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: I'd love to come to San Jose. The only reason
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: I don't come into a show in San Jose is
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I don't have the money up front. No one's, no
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: comedy club is going to hire me. I'm controversial. So
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: I have to find a venue that I can either
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: rent or lets me do a four wall deal where
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: once I sell tickets, I pay them and the RAS
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: room or whatever. Nico Hotel, Nico Finstein's. It's downtown San Francisco,
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: and I don't think you guys want to go there.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: I've thought a lot about doing the Feinsteins at the Nico. Again,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: most of you don't live in San Francisco. Most of
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: you don't live you live outside San Jose, Marin, Berlin, Game,
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: you know, you live in the other areas Mendocino County.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: You don't live in San Francisco proper. So doing something
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: in the city, I think it's dumb. I think for
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: my first return to the stage, it should be in
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: San Jose. That's what I think. And finding a venue
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: there has proven difficult, But you know, I want to
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: get back to it as well. I want to get
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: back to the joy as well. And the joy for
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: me is getting in front of you, and so I
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: want to get back to that. I don't know how.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know how we're going to do it. I
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: wish I had the money to call the Convention Center.
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: They have a smaller venue at the San Jose Civic Auditorium.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: They have a smaller one that seats I think fifteen
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: hundred people. Not that we would fill that, but you know,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: and they want five grand to rent it, so I don't.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: I don't. I wouldn't make that back from the show,
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: so I do. But anyway, I do think we need
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: to mix activism and joy, and I think we need
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: to be politically savvy and follow the news but also
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: know how to turn it off and say no mad
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: about is walking away? I mean, look, you know we
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: got to pay some attention.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Say now is show side?
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Have you all seen The Crash on Netflix? I watched
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: it over the weekend. It's called the Crash because I
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: like all these you know, documentary police shows. Oh my god,
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: I am so torn after watching that show. So this girl,
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: she was young at the time, uh she get She
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: literally drives into a wall doing ninety five miles an hour.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: No breaks, no skid marks, no nothing, just drives right
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: into a wall and kills her boyfriend with whom she
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: was fighting, and then their best friend. So she killed
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: two people, died, she lived. Now I don't know if
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: she planned to live through that. I you know, she
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: was very banged up, and they don't know why she
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: did it. Okay. She says she has no recollection of it,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: and medically there's a good case to be made that
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: she wouldn't have a recollection of it. Others are saying
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: that she's threatened it before to get into a car
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: crafts when she was arguing with her boyfriend. She has
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: threatened to crash the car before b the fact that
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: she did not hit the brakes, did not skid, nothing,
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: just push right into the wall. So they convicted her
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: of murder. And when I watched it, I thought, no,
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: I know enough about the law that even if you know,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: even if what they're saying is true, it should be
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: vehicular manslaughter, you know, some other charge, not murder. She
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: was young, impulsive, you know all this other stuff. And
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: I did some research on it, and a lot of
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: lawyers agree with me. A lot of lawyers. A lot
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: of lawyers agree And the only reason she got convicted
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: and sent to life in prison for murder double murder
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: was she opted out of a jury trial. She did
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: just a bench trial and a judge who was not
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: having it. The judge did not believe her for a second.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: The judge thought she did it on purpose. The judge
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: had made up her mind from the get go. You
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: can tell, and I watched it, going, this is actually
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: a miscarriage of justice because while she should go to jail,
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: it's not murder. It's vehicular manslaughter at best. And a
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: lot of people agree with me. You should watch it.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: It was riveting. It was I couldn't believe it, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: I still can't believe that. How do I say this.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think she tried to murder them because she
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: herself could have been killed. She didn't know she was
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: going to walk away from that do a ninety hit
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: in a wall. I mean, she didn't know. So was
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: it a suicide murder kind of thing where she thought
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: she would die too? I don't know, but I do
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: know there's enough gray area to where putting her in
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: jail for life for murder it seems extreme. It just
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: it seems extreme. Y'all should watch it. It's called The Crash.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: It's really good. I liked it. I liked it a lot,
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: and I hated her, and I think that's why she's
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: in jail for life. She's not a likable person. She
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: is like this influencer and you know, everything was for
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: the Instagram. And you know if the other big entertainment
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: thing this week is The Boys? The do you know
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: that on The Boys? When Homelander built a gold statue
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: to himself and lowered it in front of the White House.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: It was the same day that Donald Trump unveiled a
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: gold statue of himself at his golf course. I'm like,
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: you can't make this up. He is literally mimicking a
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: comic book megalomaniac. I it's that's that's how bizarre Donald
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: Trump is. He literally literally is emulating a comic book
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: megala Maniac called Homelander of all things, really just out
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: there kind of stuff. And it's clear that Homelander is Trump.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: It's it's clear. That's why I'll watch the final episode.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched the other episodes because to many of
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: my favorites are dying and it's very dark and gloomy,
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: and it's like, yeah, no, I don't, I don't care.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: But watch the crash and tell me what you think.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: Watch the crash and tell me do you think she
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: committed murder or should it have been manslaughter? I think
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: it should have been manslaughter. She certainly should go to jail,
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: but for life. I mean, the families probably are happy.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, two young men dead because she crashed into
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: a wall. But she could have died too. I don't
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: I don't you know, she's obviously mentally unstable. I mean,
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: no one mentally stable crashes into a wall doing ninety
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: five miles an hour. That is a sick individual. So
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: watch it and let me know what you think. Manslaughter
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: or murder. Oh and on social media, see it was
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: tried in the social media too. Half the people were like, no, no,
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: you know, she didn't know. She blacked out, blah blah blah,
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: and the other half were all, no, she did it,
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: she did it. Frar, friar, friar. So it's just like
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: this Long Beach Pride thing. I've been posting the facts
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: under the post and people have come for me. They
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: don't believe the city. They think the city's lying. They
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: think that a city that's paying for the gay Pride parade,
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: and I have to remind them of that. It's like
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: you're saying the city is homophobic, and yet it's paying
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: for the gay Pride parade because the Pride festival can't.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Pride Ink is supposed to pay for the parade in
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: Long Beach. They couldn't afford it, so the city said,
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: will help fund it. And now the city is being
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: called homophobic because and I told one of the performers
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: who was having a fit. So let me tell you
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: how this works. The city rushes the permits, doesn't require
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: an inspection. You go and perform and get hurt on
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: a stage because the stage wasn't permitted properly. Your lawyer,
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: because you know, you'll hire one, sues and finds out
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: that corners were cut, and then the city's on the
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: hook for millions. That's how that plays out. Or there's
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: some emergency, a shooting or something, and people get hurt
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: because there was no approved emergency plan in place, and
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: their families find out and sue the city for wrongful
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: death and win. I'm well, that's why the city canceled
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: the event. You know, the stage wasn't permitted, the exits
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: and the emergency plan wasn't permitted. They didn't have architectural
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: plans submitted and permitted. They would be leaving themselves on
