distributes for me and it's way less expensive to do it this
2:08
way it took a little
2:09
longer to build but it's way less expensive to do it this way
2:12
than it is to pay for

SPEAKER_02: there with so that we could have more than two guests on them
2:52
why the fuck did you just limit it you didn't even announce

SPEAKER_01: provider in Arizona and
3:18
um you know just trying to keep more money in his pocket versus
3:21
the government
3:21
getting it back so because what they're doing is they're just
3:28
they're just using
3:28
really bad legalese administrative law to try to explain
3:34
clinical decision making
3:35
SPEAKER_01: and it's not working it's not going well so can't imagine why
3:43
yeah it's it's you know and then so a lot of these are signed
3:47
legal nurse and I
3:49
mean I'm not an attorney but I can tell you there's no such
3:51
thing as a legal nurse
3:52
you either an attorney or you're a nurse you can't be a legal
3:56
nurse so it's just it
3:59
it's just and it's all AI driven like they're literally like
4:01
just pulling shit out
4:03
of their ass to try to make an argument and then it's like I
4:08
let me put this way I
4:09

4:18
complicated but I gotta tell you like the these contractors
4:22
sometimes make my life
4:23
really easy you know it's just fine because as long as they
4:29

again You know I'm
6:09
trying not to lose faith Because I know we're going to kick the
6:12
shit out of them
6:13
It's like they can gerrymander all they want It's not going to
6:15
change people's
6:17
attitudes It's like I mean Yeah you can only gerrymander so
6:19
hard Exactly And all
6:22
they're doing is diluting their own districts It's stupid Yes
6:26
And that's where I
6:28
SPEAKER_02: push back on like the idea of
6:31
Expanding Congress so Walter and I or we had a great interview

last week you you
6:37
jumped on for a little bit but Walter and I did it with Alex
6:40
were clean for a while
6:43
SPEAKER_02: for Massachusetts senator and he pushed back a little bit on the idea of
6:48
SPEAKER_02: redistricting or
6:50
increasing the highs the size of the house and actually fixing
6:54
the proportion
6:55
issues so that we have real legislation and yeah now you know

7:31
SPEAKER_01: Here's what I think.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: I I finally think I got the psychology behind what they're doing.
7:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
7:38
And it's really just they're just really a just fuck it
7:42
attitude right now.
7:43
SPEAKER_01: Like we're going down in November.
7:44
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: We've got six or eight months left.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: Nick Paro nickparo
8:18
Which Is Why I Have Been Pushing So Hard That That's The Beauty
8:24
About Rico And
8:24
Racketeering Is That There Is No Statue Of Limitations On
8:27
Racketeering Yes What
8:29
Happened To Our Pictures Oh Where Did We Go I Don't Know You
8:34
Switched The Screen
8:35
Yeah Give Me A Second Okay There We Go We're Back I Added
8:41
Naida's Post In The One
8:43
SPEAKER_01: That Came Out Today Was Yeah
8:47
And the new one today is the whole issue of the IRS and his
8:50
lawsuit against the IRS
8:55
They're blatantly trying to rob us And they have until May 20th
9:00
because that's when
9:01
the hearing is supposed to be So if they can This is the most
9:05
absurd logic I've
9:06
SPEAKER_01: ever heard in my life So Trump sues the IRS If they settle,
9:12
SPEAKER_01: the person that signs off on the settlement is
9:16
the assistant attorney general who is currently Todd Blanche in
9:19
the acting role of
9:20
attorney general so anything over four million dollars has to
9:24
be approved by the AG
9:25
but it's his AG and it's his personal attorney it's like it's
9:30
like I'm gonna sue
9:30
myself to steal money from the treasury of money that really
9:34
doesn't belong to me
9:35
but belongs to other people and then the most that the IRS has
9:39
ever paid out in a
9:40
SPEAKER_01: settlement was 138 million
9:44
yeah he's asking 70 times that it's just it it's literal
9:52
robbery like they're
9:53
trying to rob us in real time and say oh but we deserve it you
10:01
don't fucking
10:01
deserve it here's the reason why we need it they don't deserve
10:04
it they are now
10:06
SPEAKER_02: stealing our
10:08
Money here's our taxpayer money our collective wealth they're
10:12
taking it and instead
10:14
SPEAKER_02: of us being able to you know vote these people out they're gerrymandering
10:21
SPEAKER_02: themselves in
10:23
and this is why I say it's okay let me finish real quick and
10:27
then I'll let you take
10:28
back over this is why I say it is okay that Democrats swing as
10:34
hard as they can
10:35
right now to gerrymander the other way because those efforts
10:41
are either going to
10:42
SPEAKER_02: save us or we lose like that's like they have to
10:52
they have to do that they have to gerrymander back it's not an
10:57
option of oh we want
10:59
to gerrymander or we don't want to gerrymander it's we have to
11:05
they have to do it
11:06
like they just have to do it because you have to use the tools
11:10
that are fucking
11:10
SPEAKER_02: available as strong and as hard as possible like you can't back down now
11:17
and Jeffrey's going out and saying they're not like searching
11:20
impeachment as an
11:21
option well then primary candidates all need to be saying
11:25
impeachment is the option
11:27
and it has to be done because there is no high road the high
11:31
road is following the
11:33
fucking constitution and using constitutional law and
11:37
constitutional structure to
11:40
SPEAKER_02: remove them from their anti-constitutional actions or for them
11:47
you can remove for misdemeanor like what are we fucking doing
11:52
exactly the guy could
11:53
have gotten a parking ticket and we could have been like that's
11:56
not presidential
11:56
you're out yeah well he could jaywalk and we could fucking do
12:01
that like I just I
12:06
was just thinking of the Beverly Hills cop movie when he got
12:08
thrown through the
12:08
window he's like what are you gonna arrest me for now
12:10
jaywalking so it's like I so
12:13
SPEAKER_01: there's three points I want to make so yeah so
12:17
the first point is and this is what's really going to burn
12:21
everybody's noodle is
12:22
that in the and this was all leaked by somebody within the
12:24
government somebody
12:25
within the IRS leaked the potential settlement agreement it was
12:31
either somebody
12:31
justice or somebody treasury leaked the settlement agreement so
12:34
part of the
12:35
settlement agreement is going to be so one of the parts of the
12:41
settlement agreement
12:42
SPEAKER_01: is that Trump
12:45
Both cokehead in dimwit and the trump organization can never be
12:51
audited again okay
12:55
so that's the first one so that was my first point that's what
12:58
really kind of got
12:59
me this morning was like are you effing kidding me like this is
13:01
like so beyond
13:02
unacceptable like if you can't commit financial you cannot
13:05
commit financial fraud
13:06
and not run the risk of getting audited like every other
13:09
american citizen like
13:10
SPEAKER_01: that's not possible and
13:12
SPEAKER_01: There's statutory law that says that the president,
13:14
SPEAKER_01: the vice president is supposed to be audited every year anyway.
13:18
So like this is going to open up a whole other line of like
13:22
what we have to fix
13:22
SPEAKER_01: when this is all said and done.
13:24
But anyway,
13:24
so they're making their own impeachable offenses for us to
13:29
impeach them with.
13:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
13:31
The Second Thing Was That Julie Roginski Wrote A Really
13:33
Brilliant Article Yesterday
13:35
Outlining Everything That You Just Said About That The
13:38
Democrats Have To Use
13:39
Whatever Means Necessary Under Whatever Statutory State Laws
13:43
That They Have
13:43
Available To Gerrymander Now Before The Primary Season Starts
13:49
But Actually Fuck It
13:50
Even If It's In The Middle Of The Primary Just Do It Anyway
13:52
Because Fuck Anymore
13:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're not going to follow the fucking laws.
13:58
SPEAKER_02: Just fucking do it.
13:59
SPEAKER_01: Tennessee's doing.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: I mean,
14:00
Tennessee just literally crossed over into like the dark side
14:03
of the universe with
14:05
removing every single African-American state congressman from
14:10
committee and
14:11
SPEAKER_01: subcommittee positions.
14:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, like this is pure Jim Crow stuff.
14:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:20
SPEAKER_03: I have a couple of things to say about the taxing.
14:24
SPEAKER_03: I'm a tax professional.
14:26
SPEAKER_03: It's abhorrent that they're going to do this.
14:29
I'm going to explain this to everyone who doesn't understand
14:31
about audits.
14:34
So there are statute of limitations on being audited with the
14:40
exception of fraud.
14:42
SPEAKER_03: Fraud is forever, okay?
14:47
You can google this you don't have to believe me but google is
14:50
your friend in this
14:51
case you could go check irs.gov and you could look up fraud and
14:59
the statute
15:00
limitations on fraud and that will tell you what the laws are
15:08
the thing that I am
15:09
annoyed about is that this doesn't surprise me because we have
15:14
some you know
15:17
I know like we have cowards basically in office and we have
15:23
people who don't
15:23
understand that we need to learn from history and stop
15:26
complaining about well it's
15:28
bad it's bad it's bad we are here you know and I was going I
15:34
had a live with Walter
15:35
and we you know had a very strong discussion about this we are
15:39
here because because
15:40
SPEAKER_03: we have never addressed
15:44
The Issues Of The Black Community In The 1960s And LBJ Came Up
15:52
With With This
15:53
Commission They Put Out This Proposal And LBJ Just Slid It Into
16:00
A Drawer And I'm
16:02
Going To Say This Being Racist Is Not A Conservative Thing It's
16:07
A Character Defect
16:09
SPEAKER_03: Because The Left Can Be As Racist As The Right And
16:15
SPEAKER_03: And I've like,
16:16
SPEAKER_03: you know,
16:16
SPEAKER_03: like if anybody,
16:17
SPEAKER_03: you know,
16:18
SPEAKER_03: anybody who argues that with me,
16:20
SPEAKER_03: because I know plenty of black conservatives that are not down with this,
16:24
that are actually more conservative than I am and who are not
16:28
down with this,
16:29
SPEAKER_03: who are pissed off about it.
16:33
SPEAKER_01: How's Byron Donaldson on that one?
16:35
Byron Donaldson,
16:37
I have I have a few words for him that are I would not say
16:43
SPEAKER_03: on a live stream.
16:44
SPEAKER_03: But he would not be invited to the cookout as they would say.
16:50
SPEAKER_03: So would Representative Hunt.
16:52
SPEAKER_03: He wouldn't be invited to the cookout either.
16:56
And so it's not about if you're conservative or center or
17:06
progressive or far right.
17:07
SPEAKER_03: It's about, do you believe in humanity?
17:10
SPEAKER_03: And so
17:11
i hopped on because i wanted to really talk about talk about
17:17
the note a couple of
17:18
notes i posted first note that uh nick had up was about all
17:24
roads lead to the south
17:26
SPEAKER_03: it's happening this weekend um and and it's absolutely imperative
17:36
SPEAKER_03: that people go and check it out.
17:40
SPEAKER_03: They've changed the website now.
17:41
SPEAKER_03: It's blackpowerwarroom.com.
17:46
SPEAKER_03: But if you go to that website and you want to get involved,
17:49
SPEAKER_03: they're having actions across the country.
17:52
SPEAKER_03: And you can also live stream it.
17:55
SPEAKER_03: See it live stream.
17:56
SPEAKER_03: Roland Martin is live streaming on YouTube.
18:01
SPEAKER_03: Joy Ann Reed is going to live stream it on YouTube and Substack.
18:05
he's going to be he's going to be there and that's going to be
18:07
in Alabama that's
18:08
like the main action and if you want to learn more you can find
18:13
the live stream
18:15
from last night from when with black women and Kamala Harris
18:21
was on there it was it
18:23
was a great emergency virtual town hall saying this is what we
18:29
need to do to get to
18:30
SPEAKER_03: work
18:31
what we also need to do is to actually point out some things
18:34
that happened in
18:35
Tennessee that are really important so when they did the
18:39
gerrymandering and
18:43
nobody's talking about this they also said hey we don't have to
18:47
notify people of
18:49
SPEAKER_03: their voting voting um where they need to go vote now I have a disability
18:58
and I before my state changed their rules around voting by mail
19:09
I had the plan I
19:11
SPEAKER_03: vote by mail now I had the plan to vote because I rely on paratransit
19:18
SPEAKER_03: If you don't tell people where their voting place is,
19:23
SPEAKER_03: they're going to assume that it's always in the same place.
19:26
SPEAKER_03: And when you redistrict,
19:30
SPEAKER_03: your polling place usually changes,
19:33
SPEAKER_03: especially if you are a member of Congress changes,
19:37
SPEAKER_03: or your member or your state representative changes,
19:40
SPEAKER_03: or even at the local level,
19:42
SPEAKER_03: let's say you do city council or town council races by neighborhood.
19:48
that changes depending on how every every 10 years you
19:53
redistrict so this is going
19:57
to affect everyone across the country it's going to affect the
20:01
south the most I
20:02
live in the northeast it's going to there are section two
20:06
decisions based out of my
20:09
SPEAKER_03: hometown of New Rochelle
20:10
SPEAKER_03: based out of the village of Port Chester, which is close to my hometown.
20:15
SPEAKER_03: They are based on section two, the old interpretation of section two.
20:20
SPEAKER_03: And it's going to take some white person to say,
20:22
SPEAKER_03: nah,
20:23
SPEAKER_03: these are based on race and you need to do something else.
20:28
SPEAKER_03: And the way something else was, was at large elections.
20:33
And so I want people to understand that you need to check if
20:39
your municipality has
20:42
a Section 2 case or had in the past because those decisions are
20:48
going to become
20:51
SPEAKER_03: farther for racist right-wingers to say
20:59
we we want to go back to the old system where we don't have to
21:03
have people like the
21:04
SPEAKER_03: representatives of their choice.
21:10
SPEAKER_02: We're at the point of
21:13
Taxation Without Representation Again Like that's what this is
21:18
that's what this
21:18
SPEAKER_02: turns to if we as we continue down this path is this is taxation without
21:23
representation this is literally why we were one of the main
21:28
reasons why we
21:29
rebelled against England as a like as colonies this is our
21:33
stated reason is
21:35
taxation without representation and when we do shit like this
21:40
like it hurts
21:42
SPEAKER_02: everybody
21:43
It hurts primarily the disability community because the
21:47
disability community is not
21:49
SPEAKER_02: bound by race,
21:51
SPEAKER_02: gender,
21:51
SPEAKER_02: color,
21:53
SPEAKER_02: whatever.
21:54
SPEAKER_02: It crosses every single boundary.
21:58
SPEAKER_02: It crosses every single one of them.
22:02
SPEAKER_02: And so all of us can become disabled.
22:07
SPEAKER_02: It is something that can happen anytime in your life.
22:12
and they don't care the whole point is to make it no they don't
22:16
want us to vote
22:17
that that's the thing is they want to make it harder to vote so
22:20
that disabled
22:21
people don't vote so that poor people don't vote because it's
22:25
confusing so that
22:27
Minorities are afraid to vote because they know that ICE is
22:32
going to be standing at
22:33
the polling locations just like the old Jim Crow polling
22:37
locations used to have
22:38
SPEAKER_02: poll watchers with guns standing there scaring black people away,
22:42
SPEAKER_02: scaring Chinese folks away,
22:44
SPEAKER_02: scaring the Irish away.
22:46
SPEAKER_02: Whatever it was, whatever our prior
22:51
Bullshit Racist Personality Choice because I love that she said
22:55
that racism is a
22:56
personality choice because it is like being a racist is a
23:01
personality choice it
23:02
means you're a fucking asshole it means you don't give a shit
23:06
about anybody outside
23:08
of yourself it means you're a piece of shit that's what it
23:12
means to be a racist
23:13
that's what it means you've chosen to do all of those fucking
23:17
things in Tennessee
23:20
SPEAKER_02: is doing it as law.
23:22
SPEAKER_02: And Representative Justin Pearson,
23:24
SPEAKER_02: who's now running for Tennessee Congress,
23:30
SPEAKER_02: for federal,
23:31
SPEAKER_02: I think he was talking about that earlier,
23:33
SPEAKER_02: who's now running for federal office.
23:37
yeah he just got fucking pushed out because they sucked their
23:40
racist pieces of shit
23:41
there and it looked like Jim Crow era pictures it looked like
23:45
civil rights era
23:46
pictures it looks like we've not stopped doing what we've been
23:50
doing since we were
23:52
founded as a nation and we need to admit that like we need to
23:56
admit how like
23:58
oppressive and racist we have been throughout our entire
24:00
history and then just
24:02
SPEAKER_02: confront it
24:03
Like it is a choice we can choose today to stop enforcing any
24:11
of these racist
24:12
fucking policies all it would take is the my the majority
24:18
looking people us white
24:19
people to finally just go this is enough like this hurts all of
24:24
us this is hurting
24:25
SPEAKER_02: me you know this hurts you like
24:29
these racist maps hurt you these maps hurt Naida they hurt me
24:35
they hurt Eric like
24:36
if I don't know where my polling location is in Arkansas like
24:40
if they were to
24:40
change that on me I'm disabled I have I have a handicap I
24:48
should be able to get
24:49
easy transportation to a polling location if I need to but if
24:53
they don't know where
24:54
I'm going and I don't know where I'm going how the fuck am I
24:56
supposed to do that
24:57
SPEAKER_02: like what am I supposed to do how do I get there
25:00
and they don't care they don't fucking care they're gonna say
25:04
well it's on the
25:04
website right you can find the information on the website this
25:08
is the problem when
25:10
they say you can find it on the website I'm gonna explain this
25:12
to people so people
25:14
SPEAKER_03: get this this year was supposed to be the year that state local
25:23
and county governments were supposed to update their websites
25:29
to make them accessible.
25:31
SPEAKER_03: So now, if you have low vision, you're blind,
25:39
you have some other other disabilities that don't allow you to
25:44
access websites
25:45
easily you are dyslexic i'm dyslexic and if you can't easily
25:51
navigate the website i
25:52
have issues um i have a neurological condition that sometimes
25:56
affects my hands and
25:57
i drop things sometimes or whatever and i can't use a keyboard
26:02
or sometimes even my
26:03
SPEAKER_03: phone
26:04
if the information is not on the website very accessible and
26:09
easy to find they
26:11
don't have to do that because the federal government pushed the
26:14
regulations two
26:16
years out to give they give them more time and i'm going to say
26:19
it's because they
26:20
want to cheat this is not about about they're saying oh it's
26:26
about cost no it's not
26:27
SPEAKER_03: about cost it's about they want to cheat
26:30
and because all the sites need would need to be accessible
26:35
including board of
26:36
election sites at you know and at the county level the state
26:41
level and if you don't
26:42
have county government like in massachusetts at your local
26:46
level and now they're
26:49
they want to play these games and say oh it's going to be on
26:53
the website and i got
26:55
SPEAKER_03: some
26:58
whack ass comment from somebody saying,
27:00
well,
27:01
it's your responsibility to go vote.
27:02
SPEAKER_03: I deleted that comment because I'm like,
27:04
I'm not going to engage with with with the with the asshat that
27:09
you are because I
27:10
SPEAKER_03: don't do that.
27:11
SPEAKER_03: I don't engage with asshats.
27:13
SPEAKER_03: You look completely ignorant and and unintelligent people, right?
27:21
and so i'm like it's not your it's it's the government's
27:25
responsibility to act in
27:27
good faith and we have a government that's not acting in good
27:31
faith and the problem
27:33
is and this is the other thing people need to understand about
27:37
these the supreme
27:38
court ruling you bring court went back on the ruling that they
27:44
made hannah
27:50
Two Years Ago This Is Not A Different Court This Is The Same
27:54
Court And The Only
27:56
Difference Is Is That We Got We Got The Current Occupant Or I
28:00
Like To Call 747 Who
28:04
SPEAKER_03: Who's In Office At It They People Are Are Without Hoods
28:17
SPEAKER_03: I don't call them Nazis.
28:18
SPEAKER_03: They're the AKK without hoods, with judicial robes, and it's ridiculous.
28:27
SPEAKER_03: If you're a true conservative, you're for the rule of law.
28:31
SPEAKER_03: You're for fairness.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: They're not conservatives.
28:34
SPEAKER_01: They're white nationalists.
28:36
SPEAKER_03: And that's the difference.
28:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're regressives and not conservatives either.
28:41
SPEAKER_01: Which makes them fascist Nazis in my book.
28:44
SPEAKER_02: Well,
28:45
we're doing everything but yeah but building gas chambers but
28:48
they're not even
28:48
doing that they're just building concentration camps they
28:51
haven't gotten yes
28:52
morning at the gas chambers coming in the way that they're
28:56
going to manage HHS and
28:57
Medicaid cuts and through the health care system they're going
29:00
to gas us through
29:02
lack of services and credit card fraud credit card debt and
29:07
financial debt they're
29:08
going to come up with more sinister ways to gas us and that's
29:13
and that's about
29:13
SPEAKER_01: breaking
29:14
It's about breaking the population so that they have complete
29:18
and authoritarian
29:19
SPEAKER_01: control over everything.
29:21
And the one thing that I was that I forgot to mention with the
29:24
whole IRS thing with
29:24
the Trump family is what this is doing is it's establishing
29:29
generational wealth on
29:32
the backs of the American taxpayer with all of these
29:35
plutocratic billionaires that,
29:39
SPEAKER_01: oh,
29:40
SPEAKER_01: the day of reckoning is coming and it will come.
29:44
because you don't get to be this much of a douchebag at any
29:49
level without it coming
29:50
SPEAKER_01: back and bouncing.
29:51
And I mentioned this yesterday in a chat with Miles Taylor on
29:58
his show that who
30:00
would have thought that the device and the technology that they
30:03
created to monetize
30:06
artificial intelligence is going to be the device and the
30:10
technology that brings it
30:11
SPEAKER_01: all down.
30:13
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
30:14
Because of how we're able to link documents and link things
30:17
together and having it
30:18
SPEAKER_01: move much faster than humans putting things together and being able,
30:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean,
30:23
that's what's been amazing with the Epstein dump is that I
30:26
don't think they ever
30:29
SPEAKER_01: expected like people like,
30:31
SPEAKER_01: you know,
30:32
SPEAKER_01: Anne McDougall and Zeb to create the test.ai,
30:35
SPEAKER_01: you know,
30:35
SPEAKER_01: to use the test.ai engines.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: People are building their own AI search engines.
30:39
SPEAKER_01: They're putting shit together that, you know, would have taken decades.
30:44
SPEAKER_01: to do at the FBI with people agent.
30:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they think we're dumb.
30:50
SPEAKER_01: They think we're stupid.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: And the reality is we ain't stupid.
30:54
SPEAKER_03: I mean, all of us in this space has at least a bachelor's degree.
31:03
SPEAKER_03: Right.
31:04
I mean,
31:05
and I don't I even though I did not finish my master's,
31:08
I did go to grad school.
31:11
I almost finished,
31:12
but I did go to grad school and I could breathe even with my
31:16
dyslexia.
31:18
SPEAKER_03: I understand what the hell is going on because of technology.
31:25
SPEAKER_03: And so we have to be willing to hold these people accountable.
31:29
SPEAKER_03: There's two things I want to say before I half off.
31:32
First thing I want to say to everyone is disability community
31:36
for democracy.
31:38
the first Thursday in June and I believe that's June 4th at
31:42
seven o'clock we are
31:44
holding a live stream to talk about voting voting rights and
31:50
how it impacts how
31:52
SPEAKER_03: gutting
31:53
Section 2 and Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act impact the
31:57
disability community in
31:58
SPEAKER_03: multiple ways.
32:00
SPEAKER_03: The Voting Rights Act no longer exists.
32:03
SPEAKER_03: That's the reality.
32:05
SPEAKER_03: They're going to say, well, the other sections haven't been gutted.
32:07
SPEAKER_03: I'm like,
32:07
SPEAKER_03: if you take out the two main pillars,
32:11
SPEAKER_03: the two biggest pillars of the law,
32:15
SPEAKER_03: then it doesn't exist.
32:16
SPEAKER_01: The house still falls down.
32:19
Right they can go after access around disability now and that
32:23
was also passed in
32:25
1982 what people don't understand they're going after they
32:29
reversed the decision
32:30
from the from the 80s when they updated when they updated the
32:36
Voting Rights Act in
32:37
1982 due to a conservative court interpreting it a different
32:40
way Congress said hold
32:43
SPEAKER_03: my beer they passed it
32:46
Ronald Reagan signed it and updated all these different things
32:51
for the disability
32:52
SPEAKER_03: community,
32:52
SPEAKER_03: more things around language,
32:54
SPEAKER_03: and they're going after that.
32:56
SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, Eric.
32:57
SPEAKER_01: And remember,
32:58
SPEAKER_01: John Roberts was a U.S.
33:00
SPEAKER_01: attorney during the Reagan administration,
33:03
SPEAKER_01: and this has been his battle since the early 80s.
33:07
SPEAKER_01: This has been his mission to dismantle the VRA.
33:11
SPEAKER_03: He's had a hard on for it, like literally.
33:14
SPEAKER_01: Huge.
33:15
SPEAKER_01: Huge dildo.
33:17
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't have hard-ons.
33:18
SPEAKER_01: He has a dildo.
33:19
SPEAKER_03: Yes, exactly.
33:21
SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
33:21
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because that's right, because you can, you know.
33:26
SPEAKER_02: I assume he has a double-sided one, but I don't know how he would use it.
33:32
SPEAKER_02: As we degrade.
33:33
SPEAKER_02: As we degrade.
33:36
SPEAKER_01: I figured I wanted to get to you before the testicle comment came up.
33:39
SPEAKER_03: No, I was not going to use the testicle comment.
33:44
SPEAKER_02: I mean,
33:44
SPEAKER_02: he looks like one So,
33:46
SPEAKER_02: like,
33:47
SPEAKER_02: he's got that saggy,
33:48
SPEAKER_02: like,
33:48
SPEAKER_02: wrinkly face And it's just,
33:50
SPEAKER_02: like,
33:51
SPEAKER_02: gross And he's got pubic hair for a head So,
33:55
SPEAKER_02: you know,
33:56
SPEAKER_01: he looks like one The part that really bothers me And I'm,
34:02
SPEAKER_01: you know,
34:02
as a Gen Xer Institutionalist Grew up understanding civics And
34:06
the role of
34:06
government And how things are supposed to work And
34:09
representative democracy And
34:10
SPEAKER_01: realizing over the last 10 years or so
34:15
that the money is the root of where we are at like yes it's
34:24
really been it's really
34:25
been the root of all the evil is the money in politics and the
34:29
and it's not
34:29
necessarily the citizens united decision so to speak because
34:33
that that was that was
34:34
there in 2010 that was there before the last 10 years what has
34:38
really truly
34:39
SPEAKER_01: happened was people like the heritage foundation
34:46
The People Who Have Written Project 2025 The Installation Of
34:49
The Power Brokers In
34:50
Washington The Lack Of A Spine With Any Congress Person
34:56
Standing Up On The Floor
34:58
And Literally Saying This Is Fucking Wrong Okay We're Not Doing
35:02
A Big Omnis Bill
35:03
Anymore This Is Bullshit Like We Need 14 Appropriation Bills
35:07
Like We're Going Back
35:08
SPEAKER_01: Like This Trying To Do These Big Monster Bills Like School Rock Shit
35:15
Like that's what we need Right Here's a bill Here's how it
35:20
passes One bill contains
35:22
one item It talks about one thing It should be easy to read
35:27
Everybody should be
35:28
able to understand it This is fucking easy Like we learn all I
35:35
learned this in
35:35
SPEAKER_02: school like The whole schooling growing up We learned how to do this shit
35:42
SPEAKER_01: It's not hard Honestly,
35:45
this was Mitch McConnell all the years that he was the Senate
35:48
Minority Leader
35:50
throwing the wrenches into the system basically deliberately
35:56
mucking up the bill
35:57
process so that things got more difficult and it's the
36:03
fecklessness of Senate
36:05
SPEAKER_01: leadership on the left saying
36:09
Oh well we have to we have to we're the senate we have to be we
36:12
have to be
36:13
academically gentle and we can't fuck that take the goddamn
36:17
gloves off already like
36:19
enough's enough the rules are broken fix the rule when we get
36:23
the system back and
36:24
then put the rules in and say all right now you're not doing
36:26
this shit ever again
36:27
and we're going to make sure we pass the law to fill the gaps
36:30
and we're going to
36:31
suture everything back together but we're going to make sure we
36:33
reinforce the hell
36:34
SPEAKER_01: out of it
36:35
SPEAKER_01: and we're going to make all this shit illegal.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: You're not going to be able to legally trade.
36:38
SPEAKER_01: You're not going to be able to sideswipe audits.
36:40
SPEAKER_01: You're not going to be able to,
36:41
SPEAKER_01: you know,
36:42
like we're going to literally have to rewrite the Department of
36:44
Justice to make the
36:45
SPEAKER_01: Attorney General an electable nonpartisan position.
36:48
It cannot be appointed anymore because we've seen what happens
36:51
when that goes down.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: Right.
36:54
And this is where we need an independent inspector general
36:56
branch or something like
36:58
that that is elected in by the people that actually does
37:02
inspector general shit.
37:04
SPEAKER_02: And
37:05
Totally totally you know what else we also need which is being
37:08
which i'm part of we
37:10
need a truth a true discussion around race there's a bill
37:15
that's being supported
37:16
and i'll let nick know about it and eric if you can connect me
37:22
with miles that
37:23
would be great because i really you know he i i watched him
37:28
last night he's great
37:30
but he's missing a whole community right now because this is
37:33
not just about race anymore.
37:36
SPEAKER_03: This is about they're coming after everybody.
37:44
And if you exclude the disability community which is the
37:48
largest marginalized group
37:50
SPEAKER_03: in the United States
37:52
SPEAKER_03: You're never going to win elections, right?
37:56
The good people are never going to win elections when you
38:00
exclude the disability community.
38:03
SPEAKER_03: And that's why,
38:04
SPEAKER_03: and I'm going to say this,
38:05
SPEAKER_03: and I,
38:06
SPEAKER_03: you know,
38:07
SPEAKER_03: I volunteered for Kamala Harris's campaign.
38:12
SPEAKER_03: Guess what?
38:14
SPEAKER_03: Both campaigns ignored the disability community.
38:17
SPEAKER_03: And that's why she lost, too.
38:20
SPEAKER_03: because they didn't put any effort,
38:22
SPEAKER_03: real effort into outreach to the disability community specifically.
38:27
SPEAKER_03: And a bunch of us,
38:30
I'm not part of the disability caucus of the Democrats because
38:33
I am not a Democrat,
38:34
SPEAKER_03: but I was part of the caucus for the campaign itself.
38:39
SPEAKER_03: And we said, hey, we have content, we make content.
38:42
They're like,
38:42
oh,
38:43
it needs to go through legal,
38:43
it needs to go through this.
38:44
SPEAKER_03: It's like, you're making it too difficult
38:49
to win it's like you're being too cautious and we need people
38:54
to stop being afraid
38:56
and I am going to say this I am for state hurt for Puerto Rico
39:00
but I understand how
39:01
SPEAKER_03: Puerto Rico works and and and Puerto Rico is very conservative it's more
39:06
conservative than you think it is and so assuming that more
39:10
conservative than Miami
39:12
it's more conservative than Miami and I have family in Puerto
39:16
Rico so I I'm saying
39:17
SPEAKER_03: this as somebody who has family there
39:20

39:27
Republican trifecta

of the Voting
41:26
SPEAKER_03: Rights Act intersecting with race.
41:29
SPEAKER_03: And so I want people to understand that this is happening.
41:32
I am going to be reaching out to Nick and Walter to see if they
41:36
could at least live
41:37
SPEAKER_03: stream it on their platform so we can get it out to more people.
41:42
I need to get this out and I'm hoping that Eric I'm gonna just
41:46
I know this is like
41:47
a big ass but if you can connect me with miles that would be
41:50
great because we want
41:52
to make sure that people know that this is happening and last
41:56
but not least if you
41:58
sense my message thank you thank you I really appreciate that
42:02
if you can support
42:03
financially all roads lead to the south right because they want
42:09
to hire people
42:10
SPEAKER_03: after this action
42:12
even if even if you don't want to support me please support
42:15
them because they're
42:16
going to be hiring staff to fight back and and to make sure
42:21
people are registered
42:23
in in the south so they do not not only get gerrymandered out
42:28
of their house seats
42:29
SPEAKER_03: but they also can can vote these mfers out in in
42:35
and their state seats because the state is where they decide
42:40
redistricting.
42:41
We can no longer just focus on the Senate or the House at the
42:45
federal level.
42:46
SPEAKER_03: We need to focus on everything.
42:49
SPEAKER_03: So I just want to say that.
42:51
SPEAKER_03: And I want to say I really appreciate you two good
42:58
SPEAKER_03: Good, good, good.
42:59
SPEAKER_03: And it has nothing to do with the fact that you're white.
43:02
SPEAKER_03: You're just two good men who have morals and ethics.
43:06
SPEAKER_03: We might not agree on everything, but guess what we agree on?
43:10
SPEAKER_03: Humanity is not up for debate.
43:12
And these fools are racist and ableist and homophobic and they
43:17
need to go.
43:18
SPEAKER_03: Love it.
43:21
SPEAKER_02: Thanks, Naida.

44:19
escrow account waiting to be utilized once we get the program

up and running so
44:24

44:27
tough right now with everybody with financials and you know if
