 Oh, this is systematic bullying that's happening. Wolf morales, wolf morales, wolf morales! Up yours. They're worse than animals. They stop Ben Shapiro from going to events and speaking. They stop Ann Colter from doing it. I will never surrender even a single piece. We will never bow to the mob. Ever, ever, no matter what or what. You see them final expression of cancel culture in terrorist groups like… We'll see who can cancel who. Yeah, it's nice to see everyone. I just real quick before the show starts, we have some really bad news. We have decided to replace David Dole with Jen, Jen Perlman. I don't know. I'm not quite the Kanaki. You know what I mean? Don't you need that like northern perspective in here? I don't know. Yeah, we need the Canadian representation. That is a Canadian's talk though. We all say Kanaki. We say that to each other. Well, that's what I might, well, one of my friends Canadian, then I just always say that. Is that really a thing, Lance? No, I'm being sarcastic. Oh, okay. I was sure. I don't know what you guys do up in Canada. I don't know. I just, in South Florida, there's a lot, like, you know, we get a lot of snowbirds. We get a lot of people, usually French Canadians, but I don't know. I don't know. And then my in-laws live in Vancouver, and then there's the Canucks, and so I don't know. I guess I just started calling the Kanakis. I don't know. Maybe that's just, oh my God, I don't know. Well, David Dole is actually sick this week. He'll be back next week. Rebecca will be here in a moment. She is getting off of work right now. But thankfully we have Jen here. And Jen had an announcement lately, or recently I should say, Jen, let's not bury the lead. What the hell are you doing? Well, I'll also get you in to plug all of your socials too. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and everything should be in the description because it was sent over by now. I have people now. There's people that actually want to help me after, like, the first time it was just like me and Peter and, like, a rag tag. So I am challenging Debbie Wasserman Schultz again down here in Florida's 25th. It is in a Democratic primary. I know a lot of people are very, very averse to the Democrats. I am not really a big fan myself, but I live in Broward County, Florida, and we have closed primaries and a 14% voter turnout. And if you do the math, it's the only way to strategically do this. So it is what it is. So, but yeah, I mean, my issues and policies are kind of all over in so many different ways. But it's always with the same mission. It just depends on what the subject is. Like I'm here for the least of these. I'm here for service, right? So I'm like policy fluid, depending on what works for the most amount of people at the time. Like that's best for people. So, yeah, that's that's basically what what we're doing. So yes, I'm running as a Democrat, but I am not. I'm not one of their people. Let me just say that they would they're not going to be happy about me that they're not. Yeah. So yes, I know people are not psyched on them right now. That's all. I mean, the goal is to defeat W. Wasserman Schultz and that is running in a Democratic Party primary. So that's what you want to do. It's realistic, right? Like you have a way better chance of getting elected if you actually become the candidate, the Democratic candidate. So you have to hear. There's no, we're like a plus. I don't like plus 12 at least. And it's, I mean, it's just not going to happen. This is the only way I've been crunching these numbers for the better part of 15 years. People need to understand that. So it's not like I'm just, you know, oh, let's just try this. It's no, this is the way it has to be done. And we've been strategizing on this for a few years. And there's a lot of things in play that are different than last time. I think that Debbie is going to be in for a very big surprise this time around. And I think you're all very entertained as to as to what is coming. So I feel very encouraged. Yeah, I am to the last time that you ran in 2020, you were campaigning and I felt like you were crushing it and then COVID hit and then you had to adapt your strategy because for those who don't know Jen, she doesn't take corporate money and stuff like that. So she has to raise money through grassroots fundraising. It's like a door knocking campaign. It's very grassroots. And so once the pandemic hit, they had to adjust and that set them back. And so now, where you kind of have like this normal campaign again. Yeah, I mean, COVID still here, obviously, but like you can do what you are good at. And I think that having an actual like real race against Debbie, where you're not kind of kneecapped. It's, I'm excited about it. Like I'm going to be cautiously optimistic, but I'm optimistic. And even if like, this is going to be an uphill battle, you know, just like it makes me smile picking that Debbie Wasserman Schultz right now is like coping and seething. She's really mad that she has a primary challenger. Yeah, I actually know for a fact that she's freaking out. I like she was freaking out like the day before we officially announced because I guess once it's on the FBC like it's public so she probably has somebody regularly check I don't know. But I know she's freaking out and the best part about it is like seriously, like, I have nothing to lose. Nothing. I have nothing to lose. I can just go like balls to the wall. I am just so enraged right now and I am just going for it and the thing is, I will be living rent free in her head for the next five months whether I win or lose. And that just pleases me to no end. And after this, something's going to happen. I'll end up getting demonetized because she'll have one of her Marsha Marsha Marsha moments. And, you know, that'll be that. But no, I mean, it's about the message. It's about the surface is about being out and spending five months spreading the message being on national platforms talking with you guys like putting out what I'm about and what I'm fighting for because at the end of the day that can keep going like we kept our whole platform going after the first campaign turned it into our our podcast still did service and, you know, that's what's building momentum. So, you know, that's one of the biggest problems I think is the campaign paradigm is so candidate focused that it doesn't ever encompass any other part of our mission, right? Like you're not really moving anything forward. And so then if you lose then that's it you go away and no one ever hears from you again and the whole momentum is just gone. And I just think that we can't get out of our own way enough so I just we do service based campaigns we build coalition and we just keep it going and I just think that's the most organic way to do this. Yeah, yeah, I agree. One thing that I'm concerned about is how are you going to address the funding against you, because you know that if you if internal polling starts to show that you are a danger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. You all know what's going to happen. There's going to know it's going to happen anyway. Back money. So it's going to happen. You address that. Oh, I've been waiting for it. I've been waiting for it. I started thinking about this a couple years ago. We have some things in play. We have some things up our own sleeves. Let's just say that we're not going to be playing two to one like we always are it's going to be more like two to two. And that and that some of the recent incidents in the world have angered some very wealthy people that wouldn't normally be supportive. And I decided a couple of years ago that if we're going to ever really be able to compete. It can't be two to one anymore we need backup we need to have there need to be progressive packs there need to be people that are running parallel type campaigns and doing that. So that we are fighting fair and we're fighting according to their rules and legally but we're meeting them where they are and and so there are there are a lot of things that are going to be in play that I don't think are used to being in play and I think it's going to be very interesting and I would also suggest that it's a numbers game. I need 50,000 votes, give or take, and how much money she gets and how nasty they say things about me and call me a self living Jew and whatever they're going to say. That's not going to change the fact that I still only need 50,000 votes, and I know who my people are locally, you know what I'm saying like we had over 20,000 last time in a pandemic. So, I don't know I just I feel inspired and the outreach I've been getting and very specifically from the Muslim community has been like, amazing. Like, honestly, I mean I was joking that I'll end up like wearing a hijab by the end of the month just because I've been going to so many dinners and I was like they're just. It's so warm and inviting and they're just being so kind and gracious and it's very touching like it really is so I feel there's this huge momentum based on people that are outraged and feel silenced here. And I think that it's very formidable, and they are really propping me up and promoting me amongst themselves and so I don't know it's this is very interesting times here. You've gone viral on Twitter as well for some of like the things that you said because you you've had some really powerful speeches about how like you were raised as a Zionist. Yes, and has, you know you've since changed your opinion on that and you've speak out really really vociferously against the genocide right now. So contrast you with Debbie Wasserman Schultz I mean you don't really have to do that because the audience knows she's full thrown at least supporting genocide but like just speak out why this is so important to you. Yeah. Make fun of John Fetterman just just because. Oh yes please. If any time you can take a shit on John Fetterman and just throw in a jab on there. Like honestly I decided a long time ago like I even said it on my show he's dead to me. Like I want I'm not wasting my time dealing with it like he's he's he's a buffoon. So for me, I started deprogramming my Zionist self maybe about 15 years ago or so. I keep thinking 10 but then I've been saying 10 for so long and I'm getting older since like I'm pushing 53 so like, but like maybe 15 years ago. And it just started unraveling bit by bit by bit and then the last I mean, right around the last time when I was running in 19 I was still had this like idealistic view of the possibility of a student to state solution. But by that point, I totally knew that what was happening was so wrong and I didn't like it was like a transition from start to finish and a lot of it for me here had to do with all the anti BDS legislation and around that time. It was just as somebody who takes the Constitution very seriously that was pissing me off. That was pissing me off to no end and then I started digging and digging in it unraveled like a freaking house of cards. And now I just you can't unsee it. But you know Debbie is an apex darling she's and she very well might also ideologically be a Zionist the truth is I don't know it could be both I whatever. But I know that I was used as a tool and ethnic cleansing. I know that I was put in what most people if you were to use common sense would realize as a human shield position. I can say everything that comes out of Israel's mouth is a lie and that everything that they say is stuff that they're projecting that they do. And I like when I think back on when I was there and what that was we were totally in places that we were not supposed to be and we thought it was so cool. You know we had this armed guard and he had a machine gun and all this stuff and we're in high school in this group and we're like oh my God how cool is that like we have this this armed guard. If you're taking teenagers somewhere where you believe that it might be necessary to have an assault rifle to protect them you're using them as human shields. If you're building things in places where you know that it's not safe those are human shield. I just you know what the whole thing is just so aggravating to me I'm just like I'm I'm I'm in a rage lately but last so October 22 we started a series on my show called deconstructing Zionism. And it was really just because I just started putting a lot of nice books together that I was like I was I was compiling like a little library and inviting people on to talk but. Yeah, so I've been down this rabbit hole for a while this is not new this is not since October 7 for me. Now I'm just at a whole new level of rage. That's all like I honestly didn't think I could be more angry. The way that you speak about like deconstructing your Zionism resonates with me because I often talked about how like I was raised evangelical Christian and they also raise you to be Zionist. But you don't really get you know into the weeds as deeply as like as you did for example like they just taught us in the church like you have to be out for Israel it's God's people and I actually didn't know that being raised as like a Christian evangelical. I didn't know about all the apocalyptic stuff and how like the reason why you're supposed to support Israel is because they're supposed to facilitate the end times. And they're all either going to be converted or killed. I had no idea but as I got older and learned about this I thought this is extremely fucked up and dehumanizing like. It's so anti-Semitic. It's so incredibly anti-Semitic. Yeah, I know. I had no idea that that's what it was even as I was still a Christian but deconstructing and learning about that. I was like does that not seem like wait that like that was kind of like not the start but like part of the unraveling of like myself deprogramming from that Zionism because it's like wait. It seems like weird that they would all be killed like isn't God about forgiveness and stuff like that. I didn't know that it was so anti-Semitic even though they were saying we support Israel and that is the ethos of people like John Hagee which is embraced by this movement. So it's really nice to hear you talk about that because we all get like these kinds of ideas embedded in us that we just kind of accept by default because that's our default. That's how we were raised, right? Yeah. That's how we were programmed but when you really start to pick it apart and scrutinize it you realize it is so fucked up. I don't think people realize unless I mean for people if like if you if you've read Elon Papi's book if you've read you know some like Rashid Khalidi like some of these books then you probably know too that I'm not I mean I'm not like overly like it's not like I wrote a dissertation on this. But like there was a renaming committee back. Like probably 1947 like right before official and they when they were resurrecting a dead language which Hebrew was not spoken anywhere there they had to resurrect a dead language to create a language and make up a nationality. And there was a renaming committee that went through all of the ancient things in Palestine and gave them new names and backstories. Not only were we taught that here but children born in Israel because we had Miko Palladon and he was talking about he was taught the same nonsense with the made up stuff too and he lived right next door to the real things like they would go look at what was you know they would be told with some ancient Hebrew ruins and it was some guy's house from like 30 years before you know like that kind of stuff I mean just so ridiculous and you know it's amazing that they're still trying to gaslight us when we're watching it in live time. Like I don't understand how they think that they can get away with gaslighting us anymore. Oh by getting rid of tiktok. Well no one will see anything anymore. We'll know nothing. Yeah. Yeah what are your thought on that. How would you have voted if you were in Congress like I feel like I know but like I'm just. I am I am fairly close to being a free speech absolutist unless what you're doing is causing literal physical imminent bodily harm or threat to persons. I'm pretty much let it fly. I don't even mind hate speech. I'm like I like to know who my bigots are doesn't bother me in the least hate crime. That's a whole other thing. But if somebody wants to walk up and down my street trashing Jews. I don't care. You know that's on you now if somebody beats the crap out of you. I don't care about that either. You know but you know so no I am vehemently opposed to any sort of censorship of information the platforming anybody ever unless it is specifically libel is or if it is criminal. In some way but other than that. No. And certainly not because it has relationship to China. Like I it's just so frigging xenophobic. The whole thing is just so gross. Am I missing something about this because I'm not on tiktok. I've never been on tiktok. I don't even go on social media guys. I'm never I don't do social media so I don't even know what how to get to talk. I don't know well you better download it now because you might not have the opportunity to hear soon. But like basically the argument is that bite dance the company that owns tiktok. You know at any point in time. China can say give us all the user data. And so that poses a national security threat. And that's technically true I guess there's no evidence that this has actually happened. There's a ton of evidence that other social media platforms like Oracle like Facebook have actually taken user data Mark Zuckerberg took Facebook user data for his own personal purposes. So it is happening now Facebook is so Facebook is previously sold data to China. So I mean literally literally which is which is so wild to me. And so like if they really if this was about protecting our data which they need to do by the way because there are data brokers that sell our information. But if this was about that they can easily be a broad law on every single social media platform tech platform but this is clearly a bill targeting tiktok. Right well and because of I think because a lot of the the Israel stuff. I mean this came out with that whole thing from what's his green blad I don't even like to say that he is like the spawn of Satan. Came out like however long ago that was and now that's been like coming out and again I have been like this past week. Like dialing for dollars like pretty incessantly so I am definitely a week delayed on things so I am I apologize but no this is this is all censorship about China and quite honestly and I say this completely seriously. I don't want anybody in my data I don't I actually I actually think I might prefer people in China to someone like Jeff Bezos like I don't know I'd need to see who they were. Who's going to be looking at my data but quite honestly why I've never cared about the nationality of my oligarchs. It does not I mean what is what is it like what is the Chinese government going to do with my data what arrest me. The US government can do that if they have my data and they see something that they didn't that they don't like or something. What's China going to do send you more ads or like promotions or like what that's what which is what Facebook and YouTube and Twitch and all these US based platforms do like there is. There is no difference other than the fact that it is a company based in a foreign country that members of US Congress and the US government don't like because they view them as hostile or they're you know created a career out of being hawkish on that country because they view because they view them as a competition. I mean it's it's exactly what it is. I mean and I've said this on other shows this week but I should reiterate here the same point you know during the Super Bowl company named Timo and showed Super Bowl as multiple times. That's a China based e-commerce website. Alibaba and Aliexpress are two huge e-commerce platforms that sell that basically help connect manufacturers and factories in China and in other countries all over the world. Very cheap labor countries all over the world with US business so they can manufacture goods get materials or just buy and bulk to drop ship or to sell. These are companies Alibaba Aliexpress Timo based in China who have way more sensitive information on US users and businesses. They have your address because they ship to you right they have your financial records they have your credit card information they have your credit card numbers. Literally the service they provide you know that providing the materials to all these big companies could put a stranglehold on the US economy if they just decide to pull back or hold it dangle it above our head you know do something different. Yet you don't see them going after these e-commerce companies why because these e-commerce companies don't affect the politics don't you know people can't share the their ideological beliefs on it like they do on tick. They can't share news on tick like they do on tick tock. And so you know they're they're not focused on those companies even though. Same with Tencent. Yeah. Right. Yes. Yes. Tencent one of the biggest video game companies in the world they're not going after them. They're like they own epic games don't they like that. That's hundreds like I think there's a hundred and seventy three million video game players in China that play online games. Last time I looked it up and that's like that's a lot of people lot to mention all the American audience of people. It's got to be millions of people who play those games millions millions of millions. I think Tencent 40% of epic games so that's probably why they get out of here. I was just going to ask if maybe one of you could explain to me why we're so scared of the Chinese because from where I'm sitting they're not the ones terrorizing the world so I'm just curious like what. Depends. Republicans. They always want more. Communism bad. Even though it's not a communist. It's not a communist. There's major corporations some of the richest individuals in the world live in China. It's faster than any other country in the world. They mint billionaires faster than any other country right now. Yeah. The U.S. is ass at Capitalism. But here's the thing too. Koreanists like how do people because it's called because it's in the name just like everybody thinks that North Korea is a democracy because it's called. China is is an authoritarian country. They do have human rights abuses. They do have issues but in terms of the Internet right. They heavily censor the Internet which of course I mean how can U.S. Congress. How can U.S. Congress use that point anymore. You heavily censor the Internet. You don't let a China based company run their platform here in the U.S. I mean it's a bullshit sort of thing that we're going in that direction. But the fact of the matter is that when it comes to you know they view China as competition and a danger I guess but the fact of the matter is China cannot flourish without the U.S. And yours U.S. needs China like these two countries are tied at the hip one buys from the other one supplies for the other. They cannot they cannot flourish without the other in the current global economy we live in. So the idea that they are even our enemy in that sense like yes have a problem with the human rights abuses we should be but that's not why the Republicans are you know they just use the the you know the Uighur Muslims as like a cudgel. They don't really care to them. That's just you know that what they say their problem with China is but it's really not. Well I just think that when we have the amount of human rights abuses that we have it's just hard for me to like keep a straight face and went well but they have human rights abuses. And then listening to Nancy Pelosi. And we played the clip today on the show. So. Oh. Kent a clock moment of gargantuan proportions today. I love that. Oh it's over. Why are we. Why aren't we banning all these Chinese millionaires and billionaires who buy up property and land in the United States. Why don't we ban that practice. That that's actually affecting people driving up prices. Putting actual U.S. land in the hands of people from a foreign country aren't even living here. They're just buying it up as an as an investment to then make U.S. citizens pay even more if there was a statement though. Like you like you just said driving up prices. Right. Right. But we don't know. That's fine. I'm being facetious. You're a homeowner. Yeah. But of course we don't go after. We don't stop those practices. God forbid. But she's sitting there and making it sound like she's almost doing it because of solidarity with the people of Tibet. So it's like because China is so abusive and the thing with the Uighurs and and they have human rights violations in Tibet. So because they suppress Tibet we're now going to suppress you. Like I don't. Does anybody see the irony in that. And then I also think this has a lot to do with her in Taiwan. I don't know. I mean the whole thing to me was weird how she was like trying to say that we're protecting you and then gives these reasons that have nothing to do with protecting us. Yeah. I think it's a it's a multitude of reasons. Right. It's the anti China fervor. But also both parties have their reasons why they don't like tick tock. Like if you hear from Republicans they constantly make dumb dumb ass comments about how tick tock is transing the kids. Democrats don't like that tick tock is undermining their legitimacy when it comes to the genocide and Gaza. So they both have their reasons on top of that there's also the corruption angle like a lot of these politicians take money from Metta including Nancy Pelosi who I believe has stocks in Metta. And they heavily benefit from the death. That's that's one of the major drivers behind this that I think people overlook is they're so focused on the direct politics. It's the US tech companies are putting a lot of money in lobbying to ban tick tock because they couldn't beat tick tock they tried they tried to replicate it. Metta with Instagram and Instagram reels YouTube with YouTube shorts. You know but Google and Metta are major drivers behind lobbying against tick tock. You and then the news broke today that former Trump cabinet member and Hollywood producer Steve Mnuchin's already is already at work putting together a great investors to try to buy tick tock when tick tock is ostensibly forced to sell. You know I mean it's pretty but of course Democrats are going to join Republicans in forcing tick tock to then of course sell to what another Republican billionaire of right wing billionaire billionaire billionaire or whatever yeah and then we got right I mean it's just ridiculous it's ridiculous we got you know Elon Musk spreading great replacement theory on Twitter fomenting a little like white supremacist hatred towards immigrants. Transgender people have yet there's no stuff about Haiti. Yeah but about Haiti and listen I'm not someone here right now that I. Oh yeah. I don't think the US government should step in and force Elon Musk to sell Twitter that's not what I'm saying but the US government has huge government contracts with Elon Musk with SpaceX. That's where they have every right to say we don't like what's going on here we can't put US government you know data information or money in the hands of this guy. We're ending those contracts we're not working with him anymore that they should do but of course there's no there's no push to do that. No. Agreed. Yeah. Yeah. We're very safe and protected by Nancy Pelosi I heard karate chopped is not is not making me feel really like you know I'm safe. I'm just saying. Yeah. Yeah that whole the ticked off thing it all feels very disingenuous and you add insult to injury when they all pretend like this isn't actually an effective man. No no no we're just trying to make it better I mean but what happens if they don't divest within six months what happens they can no longer be offered in any app store like that's I think is impossible. I was listening to someone who like knows about things like that like how businesses sell and think I know nothing about this but that that time frame is not possible so that it is essentially a band for them to be they're not going to be able to right in that amount of time the amount that it needs to be done is what some again that's not my opinion I heard somebody who seemed to know things saying that. Also this is going to get caught this is going to get caught up in the legal process tick tock is not going to just lay down. I don't think it's going to happen. They're going to they're going to sue. Well if it was cut off anywhere I don't think it'll pass the Senate. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think you're well I think you're I think you're a little bit too. I don't know about that. I think it'll die in the courts. Tick tock is one this battle in the courts already Montana tried to ban tick tock already and tick tock to them the court and they won. And you know it's so it's going to happen to you that the courts are going to defeat it or if this does actually happen then I see a scenario where by dance ends up working out something with some sort of company where they you know they retain like 40% or something like that they're not going to give up tick tock completely they're losing money on tick tock and they don't want to let it go because they know the potential there because it is a growing platform. It has a huge user base and other companies are foaming at the mouth trying to try to figure out how tick tock is so like the secret sauce is its algorithm other companies have tried to to replicate the recommendation algorithm which you know it's it's super addictive. If you know if you want to go after that the the the issues with how these tech companies sort of draw draw people into the point where they become addicted. I'm all for that but that's again not tick tock only they just happen to be really good at getting people addicted to the product but same could be said for other platforms altogether like right. You know what's the grossest thing about all this is it actually made Marjorie Taylor Green have like a sentient point for the first time. Yeah she stood up and she's like we should do this to tick tock we should do this to all social media companies that sell our data I was like oh my god. No I agree with her and I'm like this is not this isn't this isn't good at all. Well you know like a broken clock you know I mean. Yes please don't get me wrong I never will. It's important though because they're not to think about this. Marjorie Taylor Green is self-proclaimed Christian nationalist fascist is to the left of the president and a lot of Democrats on the free Well they're not they're not arguing for different reasons. No yeah they're not arguing for the leftist perspective of it. The right the right wing. I should say that they're further to the right than Marjorie Green on this. Not that she's to the left because I don't want to give her credit. I know you're saying but you know they're they're they're talking points on this have been completely different. And it's an imaginary argument they're making that's not the case at all. They're claiming that this bill isn't really to go after tick tock tick tock is just a trojan horse to convince everybody it's a good bill. But the real target is like rumble and truth social and Elon Musk's ex which is not true at all. Those platforms are completely not the target whatsoever explicitly not the target because they're not far known and that's the specific part in the bill. The bill specifically targeting foreign owned social media platforms with specific wording that makes it clear that it's very targeted towards tick tock specifically. Yeah it's just scary when I find myself agreeing with her. It really is it's very unnerving. I find it very unnerving. It was funny. I got to admit how like when she announced that she was opposed to it at least on Twitter. She's like as the only member of Congress who has been banned from social media. I'm against it. It's like shut up. Stop making it about yourself. You're not the big Marjorie. Yeah. Yeah. So to be fair if I was in Congress I would be flaunting left and right like it's only Congress person banned by Elon Musk. I'm going to reclaim our civil liberties on the left. Why? When did we lose that thing? Like when did the left not become about civil liberties? Because like I've always been leftish and I mean now I'm getting to where like I'm I think I'm going to fall off on the other side. But but like what I'm going to fall off. Like I'm going to if you go so far. I see what you're saying. Like that's how sometimes I find myself. Yeah. But like I grew up as I've always been I was a member of the ACLU since I was like able to ever become one. Like like my parents were like this was a big deal was free speech and all right like when did that happen. I feel like it's very frustrating to me that somehow that could be a right thing and not a left thing. Part of it. It's not a right wing thing though and it is still a left thing. I think it's a huge difference to expect like a social media platform that has very clear policies around something to take action on those policies. Like if they clearly have in their policy they don't allow hate speech and they decide to just let like you know white supremacist rhetoric go by but they go after like someone who shares pro-Palestinian stuff. I think it's totally fair to be like you know these are your policies we expect you to abide by these policies. You know you made these policies because you want to make your platform a safer space for your users. And the real reason is because you want to be a safe space for the advertisers to attract those users but they're your policies. So you know I think I think that's totally fair. I don't know any like leftist position where it's like people should be jailed for you know for this. If that was the case obviously I would be fully against that. People have free speech in terms of there should be no consequences from the government. But you know if you lose your job as a consequence of saying the n-word on Twitter then you know. That's private business. Absolutely. That's how the cards fall my friend. Yeah. I think what you're speaking to in part is the because basically it was like 2013 when the Stone and Leagues came out. That was when Obama was president and Liberals were in a position to where they had to kind of defend the status quo because it was happening under Obama. Is that? That's so bad because I and again like I am a little older and I've spent like a better part of the past years dealing with children. So like I thought maybe I missed it when that happened like that I didn't get the memo that now all civil liberties will be fought for by people on the right. People on the left are going to be more aware of their feelings. We've got to be really clear when we talk about free speech, their version of it. They just want the speech they think is the most important to be the freest. That's all they care about. You can see that very clearly with what Elon Musk is doing. Under Elon Musk, Twitter has agreed to more censorship on the behalf of authoritarian governments like Modi saying that they're going to censor information related to maybe the persecution of Muslims in India than any other previous administration. So he doesn't care about free speech and there's just like they frame it in such a way where it makes it seem as if the arbiters of speech are suddenly companies, corporations, all these social media companies. Like you think the internet is massive. We only go to about five of the same websites or apps every single day that the only everything it is a complete monopolization of our attention on the internet and in that structure. They are dictators. It's all dictatorships. They choose what speech is or is not free. They get to choose. This is how we do or do not apply our TOS because it's never the same thing. It's like, you know, the more profitable or bigger channels get a lot more passes than the little baby channels that just get struck down because people don't like them. Right. As long as this is the structure of the whole system, the right are fooling everybody by saying they care about free speech. They don't. You can look to any one of the things that Elon Musk has done, including what he's done to Matt Binder, for example, where all of a sudden he's like, you know, I am free speech space caring man. He just he's going after people who are revealing his public travel information, saying they're assassination coordinates. Elon Musk. Oh, yeah, it was a big thing in December of not the last year, the year before that I was one of the the six journalists that was suspended for reporting on him banning the Elon jet tracker. Yeah, I'm back. I'm back on there now, but I was suspended for a check mark too. Yeah, I have a blue check mark still to punish me. You wanted to punish me with the shame of a blue check mark. Yeah, I was making fun of people who had one. Now everybody thinks he pays for Twitter. Lord Farquad. He's Lord Farquad from Shrek. I think he's a very, very little man and he is a very insecure person. Well, I think a lot of those people are, but he didn't mean strikes me as someone who wasn't like, I don't know, was not in the in the social world, maybe as a teenager, maybe wasn't so popular. I don't know, but he's a very small man. Yeah, I could see that. And how we're compensating now. Oh my God. Well, I think they're all kind of like that to some extent, all those guys, but he's just very, I don't know. I'm not a fan. Yeah, same. I don't think anyone here is. Yeah. So I wanted to talk about Chuck Schumer because today he said something that has pissed off a lot of people, not us. Although I will say that like there's a difference between rhetoric and actually changing the policies, but I'll play his speech for you. He's on Twitter, defending himself, taking a lot of heat. But here's what he said. This is about Netanyahu in particular. I have known Prime Minister Netanyahu for a very long time. While we have vehemently disagreed on many occasions, I will always respect his extraordinary bravery for Israel on the battlefield as a younger man. I believe in his heart he has his highest priority is as is the security of Israel. However, I also believe Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take the precedent. Yeah, he had it before. Yeah. He has put himself in coalition with far right extremists like Minister Smotrik in Ben Gavir. And as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah. As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me. The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7th. The world has changed radically since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past. At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision making. Process about the future of Israel. At a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government. Hamas and the Palestinians who support and tolerate their evil ways. Radical right wing Israelis in government and society. President Abbas, Prime Minister Netanyahu. These are the four obstacles to peace. And if we fail to overcome them, then Israel and the West Bank and Gaza will be trapped in the same violent state of affairs they've experienced for the last 75 years. Yes, I mean. Everything he said was just ridiculous. Like I don't even know where to start. And quite honestly for me at this point, every single person who comes forward now is still irredeemable at this point. Like it doesn't matter. Like there's nothing like, okay, now Chuck, you're on the good side now. No. He went that far. I think it's basically he's blaming everything on Benjamin Netanyahu rather than like as if like this is a solely Benjamin Netanyahu in his far right cabinet. You know, was it Ben Kivir who had like a photograph on his office for a long time of an actual like mass murdering terrorists to kill a bunch of. Yeah. And like you knew who you were associating with. This isn't a surprise. You know that, you know, these are individuals who are perhaps really, really big on dehumanizing Palestinians to the past and committing like mass murder and stuff like that. Like. Yeah. Yeah. And just to follow up on this. So this is basically getting backlash in Israel. They're pretending as if he called for regime change. Israel is not a banana republic, but an independent. I mean, he kind of did. It was it was uniquely American to be like, you know what? This has gone too far. We think you need a new government. You could you could interpret it that way. So yeah, they are there. They're molding right now. They're not very happy about this. They're apparently stunned by what he said. And look, I think that what he said is good. I'll accept a change in rhetoric because it's better than nothing. But if you continue to support the continual like supplying of weapons, it really doesn't make a difference. You could say what you want. I mean, what was it last weekend? Joe Biden said that Rafa was a red line, but then said he'd never cut off weapons to Israel in the same sentence. And then the next day in a different interview. Nen Yahu was like, yeah, I'm going to go into Gaza also. No two state solution. So I mean, like if there's no accountability, your words don't really hold any weight, you know? Right. Right. I mean, I do think it's, you know, the one thing to take away from this is that they're there. There's very clear a very clear turn, though. I get that there's no action yet behind these words. They're just words. But also these words weren't being said even weeks ago. I think the activism, the uncommitted vote movement has clearly made its mark. Yeah. Yeah, not just in the U.S. too, in Canada too. We recently just restored funding to UNRWA. And today, Justin Trudeau said that he is going to now limit all non-military sales to Israel until there can be an investigation into potential war crimes. Again, it's not where it needs to be anywhere close, but that's something, you know? That's a major thing for Canada. Canada is a massive Israeli and U.S. ally. We are completely dependent on the U.S. military to do whatever we want, you know, in terms of being assholes globally. Right. There still hasn't been any. The UNRWA thing is still unbelievable to me how these allegations were made by Israel. U.S. postfunding, then the EU polls, Canada polls, all our allies postfunding. We wait for Israel, UN waits for Israel to bring about the evidence or to just even officially make these claims with where they're getting them from. They wait, they wait, they're never provided them. And then the situation in Palestine and Gaza becomes what it is. And all these countries are just like, oh boy. We're giving the funding back to UNRWA. No accountability. No saying what we do. Like there are starving children in Gaza right now who might not have been starving or might not have been at the level of starvation they're at. If that funding was never pulled due to baseless allegations that Israel has not even tried to pretend were based on anything. They provided nothing. They provided nothing because they don't have it. They don't have it. Yeah. Well, refer back to point one. You know Israel's lying when its lips are moving. It's just it's just the way it is. I don't ever believe anything that comes out of anything. And that's the thing. And it's the boy who cried wolf. I mean, maybe at some point and that's when people, oh, but you believe Hamas. Well, they might be lying. I don't know, but I know that they didn't spend 40 years lying to me my whole life. So, you know, I, I at least owe them the benefit of the doubt over the people that have been lying to me my whole life. I at least got to acknowledge that that kind of weirdness. So, you know, no, I just I don't believe anything that any of them say. And I think they're totally intentionally genociding 2 million people. And this, this is irreversible at certain point. You realize that like you can't even at a certain point bring food in and save people when you get to a certain point of malnourishment and disease and all of this stuff. And I do not see how this ends short of 2 million dead people in the desert. And it's and they could build a port. He could build them an international airport. I don't care. And this is this got set in place when it started without sanitation without water without medical care. Like people can't live like that. There's women giving birth like this. There's women that they don't have anything for their menstrual cycles. Like this is a disgusting mess. And I don't think at this point, you know, dropping aid from parachutes or any like, what are they talking about? Like they're talking about government like we're so far past that with this. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, Matt, if you saw, but before Trudeau restored funding to Anra, he had seen the UN report, which now has been revealed. I think at times of Israel said that under the UN investigation into the accusations of members of Anra being part of Hamas, that they actually found evidence of Israel torturing aid workers to falsely have them testify that they were members of Hamas. That's that's part of the actual UN investigation into the accusations. I did not see that or or I did read it. And because of everything, I forgot that part of it because there's always something new. I'm also thinking about the like that report that came out from that that report that came out from that Israeli agency. I forgot the name of it, but they were investigating the allegations that the Palestinian workers given permits to work on those kabutsas. Those remember the allegations that oh, they actually worked with Hamas to tell them about to help them prepare for the October 7th attack. This Israeli agents, Israeli government agency had interviews with Palestinian workers and found no evidence, no evidence that this was the case. No evidence. But even if it were like, let's say hypothetically, okay, because the four of us are reasonable enough to know what Hamas is and what Hamas isn't like we don't need to sit here. And debate what that is. Right. So let's say hypothetically 1213 people of that giant organization in whatever capacity that they were and somehow had some affiliation with something that is the government of Gaza. Okay. So, okay. And what if some of them participated in something that was unsavory, they dismissed them immediately. Of course, without due process, mind you. They fired the ones that weren't killed, basically. Right. So what, like, I don't understand. So clearly that was just some sort of manufacturing consent to cut off what they've been wanting to cut off all along. Oh, absolutely. That's just absurd. Even if all those people did participate, okay. So they participated. So look into that criminally if you need to, investigate it, fire them. I don't know whatever. What does that have to do with all of the Palestinian people and their aid? I just, I do not understand this. So, yeah. It's just more collective punishment. Well, the point of the point of the point of that, that narrative, though, was to say that those that Palestinian citizens were a part of this, that no Palestinian could be trusted going off. You know, that was the whole point of it. Yes. They basically say, oh, these weren't necessarily Hamas, you know, fighters or members. These were people that we trusted to come into this country and work. And they turn around and these Palestinian citizens give, you know, tools to help Hamas plan the attack. That was the point of that. I think that they claimed like, because I know that Anra, it's all over. It's not just in Gaza. Like, you know, you have West Bank and Lebanon and Jordan or, you know, all the different places. So were the people that were all accused or supposedly named as being affiliated with the October 7th attack? Were these all people that are in Gaza? Yes, they were. They were all people that worked in Gaza. And it was 12 employees, which I think works out something like 0.067% of their entire workforce. So even that, like in and of itself, I thought was like really messed up. But of the people who weren't killed that day, because there were several members who lost their lives, they investigated the remaining ones. And yes, the UN found apparently this is, it hasn't been, their report hasn't been released, but according to the sources like Times of Israel, they found that they were not only not complicit in October 7th, but that they were tortured by the Israeli government to try and testify that they were by waterboarding. So it's another one of those situations where like, well, maybe people don't like being born in captivity. It's just a thought, just a thought putting that out there. You know, maybe that's unsettling for people and it causes them to have a certain amount of anger and retaliation. Just saying. Isn't it 30, is it 30,000 employees? That's part of UNRWA. And yeah, it was 13. Yeah, 12. And that's why they suspended. Yeah. Yeah. That's what a wrong one. Let's see here. Yeah. 13. A lot of 30,000. That's so, so crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And again, no due process anywhere. None, not, not regarding the, no, no due process. Just everybody just decides to cancel funding for everything without any investigation or due process. And one of the reasons why they are specifically targeting the UNRWA is because it's not just a feeding program or food program. It's an employment program. It's actually supposed to help give Palestinians a quality of life and a dignity in that they can employ them. They can have them work as, you know, part of their own liberation or help or rescue that kind of stuff. It goes a lot deeper than simply being like they deliver rice or something like that. Yeah, it's really sad. It's hard to not feel hopeless because, you know, we're supporting this, you know, indirectly with our tax dollars. It's very frustrating. I feel like I'm going to be atoning for the rest of my life just for my own part in any amount of the Zionist nonsense that I did growing up. And this is just like, this whole thing is weighing on me. Like it's just adding to that, you know, and it's just, it's very, I'm so angry that it and the people that are holding this up and just doing this. Like it's somehow in any way for why they're saying that they're doing it and why anybody believes that is just, I don't know. This is a purposeful genocide. They're selling waterfront property and getting natural gas leases. Like I don't, it's very clear, you know, so. Right. They're using October 7th as a justification for what they've been wanting to do, right? Like they, they want Gaza, you know, so, and that's not to say that like, you know, October 7th was fine and I don't condemn Hamas because obviously I do. We have to do our regularly hourly condemnation of Hamas. But yeah, you know, it's, it is a genocide. It's intentional. It's purposeful. They are targeted. Why do we have to condemn Hamas? Like I'm serious, like why do I condemn people that do certain acts? But Hamas is like a huge organization that has multiple arms and factions and only one part of it is militant. Like I just feel like nuance matters. I feel like if I was born in a concentration camp or in a ghetto of some kind where I was locked in and I were to rise up and fight against that. Really? Like I guess I just, you know. You know what, you know what it is. And there was a really good conversation between Mehdi Hassan and Pierce Morgan about this and Mehdi Hassan was asked. Yeah, it's good, right? Mehdi Hassan was asked by Pierce, you know, do you condemn Hamas? And Mehdi said, you know, why do you, why do you always ask the Palestinian, like the brown guests that, but you don't ask the guests defending Israel if they condemn the IDF and for their acts of terrorism. Or their terrorism or call them terrorists. Right. And I think that part of that is when you ask every Palestinian if they, if they condemn Hamas, you work to kind of conflate all Palestinians with Hamas. Well, in actuality, like 50% of Palestinians or of Gaza and support Hamas. So it's very like fragmented and the people who like most of the people are children. They weren't alive when Hamas was voted in. But if you can conflate them with Hamas, then that helps in the dehumanization process, right? You drive home this point implicitly that they're guilty, you know, they're all perpetuating this, this terrorism. And so if, if they get killed, then it's justified because they're all Hamas. So that's why I think it is. And Israel, you know, and this whole thing about, you know, Israel's right to defend itself. Actually, no, no, actually they don't according to international law. They do not have the right to defend themselves against an occupied entity that they occupy. And the technicality that they go with that somehow because they left the inside of Gaza in 2005 or whenever that was that somehow they are not occupying it is absurd. And we all know that. So actually legally, no, they do not have the right to defend against an occupied entity. So I just find, and this isn't, we don't need a ceasefire because it's not a war. It's a genocide. So you see fire when two sides are fighting, you call it a ceasefire. That's not what this is. And words matter and I'm tired of this narrative. So I don't know. I'll get off my soapbox now. I like your teacher, Rebecca. Hi, everybody. I'm sorry. Joining in so late. Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Yeah. And thank you guys. This is my little shirt. It's on sale right now because Target, they selling all the black, you know, history month stuff. That's good. So I have a couple of things planned if you're all interested in some stories that happened throughout the week. I've got some, I'll let you all kind of pick unless you have something else because these are just like things that I. Oh, there was a bit of a gay Christmas this week in terms of just like amazing things happening in amongst all the shitty things. Some things I don't think we can talk about though. Yeah, I was going to talk about Stone Toss, the world's most famous neo-nazi cartoonist. He got revealed. His identity has been revealed. And that was really funny. The Tate brothers are back in jail. Oh, right. Thanks to Aiden Ross. Aiden Ross snitched on them, which is so glorious. That's really, really funny. Oh, and J.K. Rowling is a Holocaust denier. That one also happened. Right. I called it, I called it an episode like what, one or two of this show where I pointed out that Harry Potter or something. The goblins. No, the swording hat that measured skulls. Yeah, I know. But you listed everything. You're like, yeah, there's like a secret. Yeah, the goblins. The slavery and the only character who opposes the slavery is ridiculed for it. There's like all the racist names. There's the anti-Semitic creatures in the books, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And the eugenics swording hat. Can't forget that. Right, right. Which there's a Lego set of that now and it talks. Oh, nice. Yeah. It's hideous, but yeah. Yeah. Can you talk about the Stone Toss thing, Lance? Because I didn't actually follow this super closely. Oh, I'll summarize it real quick just so anyone who doesn't know. Stone Toss is the name of very popular internet web cartoon that is deeply, deeply racist, homophobic, transphobic, all of them. He does them all. He loves them. He's obsessed with making fun of LGBTQ plus people, black people, indigenous people. You name it. He's got a whole bunch of stuff. He's been secret for I think about eight years, but his stuff gets shared everywhere. Sometimes really huge politicians will share Stone Toss cartoons because they're very innocuous, simple, cartoony, cutesy little characters. Or mass shooters, racist mass shooters. A lot of racist mass shooters in their manifestos have his comics or memes of him. So he is quite prolific in his reach. He's raised. Interesting how they see through exactly what it is though. Like I know they get, you know, I know you just mentioned and it's true that he gets, Stone Toss gets away with what he gets away with in terms of the reach he gets because they're sort of in a way, I guess, innocuous, the cartoons. But it's very clear. But the fact that, that white nationalists and Nazis and far right extremists know exactly what's being said in the cartoons, they're not all that innocuous. You know what I mean? Yeah. He used to. He used to do. Well, he used to do an outright straight fascist comic called Red Panels. And then he retired the comic and is like his retirement video is like a character as the Terminator going into lava. And then he does like the Hitler salute right before he goes out. That that was like a whole book. He denied being the creator of that comic book series. But now, thanks to this leak, it's been proven that he is actually the creator of that comic. But yeah, it turns out that he is a, I believe, half white, half Hispanic guy who lived in Japan for a long time and tweeted out something like, if there's any ladies living in Japan and they're looking for an 8.5 out of 10 DM me. And he's really like he's grating himself on a fucking curve 8.5. I saw the picture. This dude is like a stereotypical like nerd. Like very, very nerdy. Not a cool nerd either. Yeah. No, this is like a stinky nerd that doesn't bathe himself. Oh, okay. Wait, wait, wait. Then really is stinky and unkempt. Not whether or not he's a nerd, right? Like, like we can get stinky and unkempt. There's evil nerds. I got to lay my eyes on him and then I'll be able to get a picture. Rebecca, Rebecca, I'm going to DM you. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Your spirit could be nasty. And that's why you ugly. Yeah. It's all of the above. You know, you could take showers and all the above, but you just ugly because you just nasty inside. You just doing the wrong thing. I know people like that. But he now you can't post this on Twitter because all of the things outing him. He almost took it all down. It's a community violation. You can say any slur you want on Twitter, but if you out this Nazi, then that violates Twitter's community guidelines. It's so crazy how like the Nazis are running Twitter now. What's what's interesting about that? Isn't it? What's interesting about that, um, that particular policy where doxing is not allowed on Twitter, um, in terms of just even just like unveiling an anonymous person's name due to it's no matter public record, by the way, just right. Right. Right. So they can't take down the reports because that's not the doxing act. They took down the original post, um, a doc, you know, unveiling who he was. But in that same sense, that policy should be construed in the same way where dead naming a trans person is doxing them because they don't go by that name. But that's, that's, they don't do that. They don't take down, they don't take down, uh, tweets where people are using transgender people's dead names. No. In fact, I'm sure that's encouraged millions of followers. Yeah. J.K. Rowling is 14 million followers and she straight up does that. So, so what's the problem here though? If, if they're calling out this person, I'm trying to figure it out. So calling out this cartoonist. People only ever knew him as his avatar, which is this cute little kind of like white looking comic and that he hid in the shadows and now his real face and name have been revealed and all the funny tweets. Oh, you've been going behind this cartoon. So now that people know who he is. As a Nazi, as, as like he has like the most popular, I would say fascist cartoon on the internet without, without like equal. So that protects people that protects him on Twitter. If somebody were to say, Hey, this is the guy. Now they're saying that that is equal. They took that post down. Oh, that's what Elon Musk censored. They didn't need like, they didn't want that post up. They took all that. I get on Twitter every day and I'm seeing all kinds of porn all day every day. But yeah, this is considered a problem. Right. Like outing the problematic person. Yeah. And isn't it so weird that like all the most prominent Nazis are like half white, Nick Fuentes, a stone toss. It's like, I don't think that they realize that the, the Nazis in general, they, they don't accept that. Oh, the response from that, from their own community was so much racism. So much racism directed towards him. It's like, he's not even pure and all this kind of stuff. Oh my God. This is why I'm not on social media. This is why I'm on there. This is why people are too mean. They're just people are freaking mean. And they wouldn't say it to your face. Like, that's the thing. I would love people who say crap about me online to say it to my face. And none of them would have the guts to say it because I grew up in an age when we didn't have it. And people did not like you, first of all, you took care of your business. If you had to fight with someone, you handled it and then you went on your own way. Like you, you know, you had to fight shit out. Like that was how it went. And it wasn't online and it wasn't through Twitter and your mommy couldn't come and get you and save you. I am oblivious to social media. Jen, she about that life. So, um, yeah. So on Twitter, people like to get on what, um, Meek Mill calls Twitter fingers. People who like to get online. But my thing is, you know, we do live in a day and age. That's the easiest way to do it. Right. Um, people are at their jobs. They're nine to fives on an anonymous page. And they are pulling out all kinds of misinformation. They're attacking people. Their tweets will get thousands and thousands of views, sometimes millions of views, depending on who repost it, because that's their feelings or whatever. Um, and they'll never get an opportunity to find you or step to you. And that's the thing that they have this opportunity to either repost something that could be misinformation that gets you canceled or whatever. Uh, and on, on, on Elon Musk's Twitter. Um, these, some of these things are, they should be reported. They should be flagged. But the things that are flagged, like what we're talking about right now, like outing bad people. Um, is, is that isn't flagged, but, um, these other people, I don't get it. I don't understand why this is the way it is, but, um, what clicks and profit. Yeah. Whatever. Because at the end of the day, it was profitable to be promoting what, you know what we would want them to promote. They would do that. Right. Like, so that's what it really comes down to. They're just following their corporate sponsors. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. And this kind of shit is what's happening on Twitter now. I don't know if you saw this, this was wild to me. So this is a photo of, uh, uh, presumably somebody who's a right-winger because this lady, uh, I'm not going to show her face, but like she has a black rifle coffee like tank top on. Uh, but this, like, this has 3 million views. This person says, Hannah bear and what do you all notice? And then, um, everybody was dog piling on her. Um, because another thing went viral. With regard to that photo, and this is the most unhinged shit I've ever fucking seen. So let me bring up the, uh, the outcome of that. So this woman who was a right-winger, by the way, who's on their side is being transvestigated by right-wingers and the community note says it all. That is so dumb. Like, what is this? What is this? It's a vagina. And it could be whatever it wants to be. But why does it have a pad on? Like seriously, like she could have a whatever size, they come in different sizes. Whatever. I'm not focused on this area. Like this is a, she could have a, she could have whatever she wants that. She could be tucking. Why? Right. That's the thing. What if it was a penis? Like whatever it was, I would care. That's what Lady Gaga said years ago when they, when I think it was Anderson Cooper asked Lady Gaga, what about the rumors that you're a, that you're trans? Or I think he used the term, the word transvestite or something like that. Cause this was like what in 2007 or something. I don't remember one. And, uh, uh, Lady Gaga just said, what do you want me to say? I don't care. Let them think what they want. What if I had a penis? Right. Who cares? I'm not going to deny it. Or I'm not going to ask her, does that make me less talented? Does that take away? Right. It was a great response from her. She was, she's, she's, she was good, which made it another thing that happened this week, extra funny. She took a picture with Dylan Mulvaney. And there were TERFs who filled up her Instagram, her Instagram comments saying like, we had no idea. You, yeah. How can you do this to women and women's mother? It's like, this is the literal woman who sang the song, born this way and mentioned transgender people in the song. And you had no idea she, she supports trans people. Like what? And there was a comment from a Republican about how, oh my God, Lady Gaga went woke and everybody was sharing it and shitting on them. Like Lady Gaga going woke. What? How did this happen? He was kind of old. I mean, she is somebody that reminds me of like how Bette Midler came up almost through like the bathhouses and stuff. Like Lady Gaga came like the gay community, like that's her, wasn't her people? Like I, that's just a strange thing to not know about her. They will flock with, you know, because I guess when this is what like conservatives and people do, if she said something that may be seemingly conservative, if she came out looking conservative, whatever, they'll gravitate towards that. They won't go and do their history on what she stands for or whatever. And then when she does speak, they'll be like, oh my God, how dare she? Listen, she been on that. This person has been on that. You guys just never did your due diligence. You just like carried on, um, on this person because they said something that you guys assumed was towards your base and agreeing with everything. And they will ride that fence, but never go and truly look at this person, but just because they're a celebrity or whatever, and they will carry that until that person is who they are. Like I, I hate that. Maybe they saw her with Tony Bennett. Like maybe it's the crowd of people that saw the album with Tony Bennett and then they only knew her from like that. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I remember her wearing a meat dress. So, you know, I see some people in the, oh, people say my, my mic is very loud. I'll back off the mic. Oh, you muted yourself. You just muted yourself. That's too quiet. Yeah. I think you might, you might have clicked on the mic setting in, in the actual browser. You've got the microphone. Yeah. Your mic shows that it's off. Yeah. Your mic shows that it's off. There you go. All right. Now it's connected to your, your laptop mic or something. I don't know. I pulled in an attempt to fix my mic. I pulled the wire out. Oh. Yeah. So thanks a lot to the person who told me I was too loud. You just completely fucked up the entire audio. I don't know. Anyway, I saw some people in the chat saying that, uh, to that photo that, of that right wing woman who they were circling her. Lady part. Private area. Part. Yeah. And transvestigating her. I saw some people say, Not transvestigating. Oh, it shows they've clearly this, these people have never been, uh, see, been with a woman before. But I think you have to look at it the other way. These guys saw nothing there and then said to themselves, that looks like me. Yeah. And this comes in a week when Candace Owens went viral for transvestigating. I was going to pick that up. Yeah. Lady of France. Yeah. And like she's, she's made this whole. She's staked her reputation, her professional reputation. Are you? Wait a minute. Who cares though? Let's assume she is trans. Why does that matter? Holy shit. Why? What are you saying? That's a word. Like this is the thing of transvestigating. Transvestigation. Oh, it's a massive thing online. Oh, sis. Yeah. It's, it's all sis people doing this. Yeah. This is why I'm not on social media. Who is it for that? They're always wrong. Like, you know what? I mean, I, I don't know. Do any of you have children? Like who has time for that to be sitting there and worrying about people? Okay. I'm not going at the time. I'm tired. What? Yeah. By the way, there's a really amazing video by Olay. I'm going to watch it. Yeah. By the way, there's a really amazing video by Olay today. I just watched it. I didn't have time to tell it. It was fantastic. She talks about how basically these types of transvestigations and transphobia, it also hurts cis women, especially cis black women, because they are perceived to be masculine based on the, like I don't want to, like just watch the video. It's very good, but it explains how. And the colorism of it, that was the part where I was like, this is like 302 levels of transphobia intersex scene with racism. And this is so fascinating. I'm glad someone's finally putting this all down because it's like, it's so true. Yeah. And it's, it's, I didn't even think about how like she brought up a Sierra being transvestigated. Well, we didn't even know the word transvestigation was not something you just talked about. First of all, I'm again, pushing 53. None of this was a thing. Yeah. But the idea, none of this stuff is what I find weird. What I find weird is people being concerned with other people's privates. Yeah. Yeah. Especially children. Especially kids. Yeah. It's weird now. Back in the day, it was such a big thing because if it was just like, you had to be straight. And if you were gay, you were weird. That was not a blind, whatever. Nobody was checking people's genitals and nobody was like obsessed with a bathroom. Zooming in on pictures, changing the contrast, trying to see. We didn't have the internet. We didn't have the internet. So people couldn't verify. So we had these tabloids that would, I grew up believing. Because from word of mouth, because of tabloids that Sierra was. Oh, you believed it. What it was. So I just knew or her math. But these were the words that were thrown around. I was a child. And this is what we use. And this is what we believe. Mind you, because she was tall. Mind you, I'm a, I'm an Amazon too. I'm a tall girl. And you know, if I wear certain clothes or whatever, and that's just what it is. I'm just going to assume and think and whatever. That's so funny. I would think maybe she had Marfan syndrome. If she was real. I don't know. We were kids. This was back in the day. We only got just whatever the tabloids gave us. And it was minimal and it was dumb. So how long did it take you to deprogram that nonsense? I feel like maybe when I got to, because I was in high school and people were still saying the same thing. So maybe I ain't even going to kid you. Like 2007, eight ish when I got to college. And I was dancing. My goodies in school. Okay. So like all. Right. You know, it was out there with a little top. My goodies. My goodies. But, you know, she's a woman and it doesn't matter. But whatever she identifies as is, but people will stick to it. They will put these like transvestigation. But what Olay said, when we talked about this, but even just watching on the breakfast club with Jess. Who I believe, you know, she's, when I saw her coming up, she's a social media personality who was a, who came up as a comedian. You know, had a lot of controversy for a lot of the things that she's said. She went viral one time canceled for making a comment about how Chadwick Boseman looked before his passing, not knowing he didn't come out with what was going on with him at the time. None of us knew. And she was saying basically he was saying people need to wear their masks. She was like, he need to stay inside. You know, that was her whole, her whole thing as a running joke. It was problematic. Then the same woman had a picture with her son and she was naked. Her son probably was two at the time. It was body to body with some Jordans on hated the photo, but that's her business. But people are like, come on girl, like that doesn't look right. Whatever. Then she was on a plane and she was upset because there were Middle Eastern people on the plane. And she was like, I feel uncomfortable yelling, screaming. Did a whole live about it. This is just hilarious who was now on the breakfast club. Mind you. I thought she was funny. I think she's a beautiful woman. But a lot of white people, even some black folks were online saying, is this a man? Her voice is, I got a deep voice. So I know. But why does it matter? What is that word? She's the same person. People online were calling her a man. They said her voice is so deep. She's super manly. Her mannerisms are manly. She's dark, skinned. She's a taller girl, I believe. And she comes off real just, you know. But to me, she's a woman. Whatever. She identifies as a woman. Fine. But she's the same person that went on the breakfast club. And how she was, not even the breakfast club, before this interview with T.S. Madison, who is transsexual. And she's big in our community, especially the black community. Before she made a comment on this woman, and I'm talking about just hilarious. She was online talking about how people, how it was, I guess, about periods. And somebody made a comment about how men have periods too. She didn't come to that conversation. And she came with guns blazing. Oh, you know, it was only a man and a woman. Y'all can't be, it was a whole thing. Okay. She didn't even say scientifically, whatever. She just was going in like, you know, man, woman, trans, y'all can never be us. Y'all want to be us. It was that whole thing. So we knew she was already coming with a phobia. And then she gets on to the breakfast club and how she's talking about this T.S. Madison, who again, I said is trans, a black trans woman. And she communicates with this woman, like almost like you want to be me. You're not a woman. You can't even be my brother. Like that type of thing on there. So a lot of phobia going on, but she's in this place. And I feel like this is where it's very problematic because girl, they was just calling you a trans. They was just calling you all these things. And you have this platform and immediately, every opportunity you get, you come off races. You come off transphobic. But these are the people that they're giving these mics to. These are the people that they are allowing these spaces to. And this is where I think it's like the fact that we can't call them out. They still get paid. They still get positions. They still do all of this. And this is the problem. But what's so, the irony of it all is girl, they for years have called you a man. For years have called you a man. They said, did you need to check yourself? All of this stuff. And here you are just being so transphobic, so nasty, all of the above. And this is why I say like, I don't know. This is, it's been, we had tabloids before. Now we got the internet where we give them a lot of misinformation, but you can always go and correct that information with research. And people still don't do that. They won't do it. It makes me sad. Like it makes me sad that there are so many miserably unhappy people out there that it's like, because people that are content, like with themselves and their lives, they're not concerned with other people's stuff. So it's like what I'm hearing is just like a very, very sad, very unhappy people. And it's very unfortunate because it's like, I just, it's how do you fix that? Well, maybe you give people things so that they can exist without like living with stress constantly. But I mean, in general, it's like, these are just very miserable people. Cause why else would you, why else would you do that? Happy people. I mean, the conclusion is to make people feel bad because like, if you, if you end up transvestigating somebody successfully and you determine, okay, this is act, we have evidence. This is somebody who's trans. What's the conclusion? Then what? I mean, who cares? I was right. I was right. So screw your life. But the goal is to drive down like their self-esteem and make them feel bad and like prop up this idea that somebody who's trans is inferior and bad and not a real woman or man. And it's just, it's really fucked up. And it's worse when they have these opportunities to be on these like, like the Joe Rogan's and all those other people. They get these, they have, they get paid to do this. They get like to utilize their platform. That's why, you know, like I said, I like just hilarious and what, how she's funny or whatever. But when she started to do all of these things, you got to call a thing a thing. Love her, mean it, but you're problematic. Then you're on the breakfast club and the first, she's only been on there like a few months now. The first opportunity that you get is to call out like somebody trans because you guys are having a spat online and you make commentary. And so do your peers. They don't even call you out about it, but you make commentary that is very transphobic. It's problematic. And you know for our community what that means. You know what, that people were telling you that you were, that you were a man this whole time. And you know, like, you know what our, like our community, how we feel about that unfortunately. And I'll say generally, because it's not everyone, but that's just what a consensus is with, especially with black people. It's a touchy subject. And then it's the same person that also went on to speak on that girl, Lisa Tisa, who did the why the f that I get married. And because one person on that, that show of Charlemagne said is gave big back energy, big back energy. If you guys don't know is, you know, you a big woman. And if you watched Tyler Perry's one of the marriage movies, I forget the name of it, the bigger woman was going up the mountain to go get her man. And they were saying it's basically giving desk, big women are desperate. So this is what I'm saying. They give all of these problematic views to millions of people. And people are saying that this is okay. They're not being called out. None of the above. And it's very similar to me with conservative folks. They can say all of this problem, all these problematic things on their channels. You know, when Donald Trump was president, he said a lot of problematic things, racist things, things against the LGBTQIA plus community, had people out there under Donald Trump. People was driving up and killing folks, just for being different. You know what I'm saying? Like this is what it leads to and giving them more of a platform to expand this kind of toxic rhetoric, this problematic rhetoric, this misinformation. I think it will always be, I don't care who you are, what color you are. I don't care if we look alike. I don't give a damn. If it's problematic, it's problematic. Yeah, absolutely. Go watch Ole's video because it was really, really good. She kind of breaks down. Things that white people aren't going to know about. Like how your proximity to whiteness will change the way that you're perceived to where, if you are a darker-skinned, black woman, you're perceived to be more masculine. But if you're a light-skinned man, you're perceived to be feminine. But still, there's benefits for being soft. But your proximity to whiteness is actually going to still be beneficial, even though you're considered softer because of that. It's like this is so much stuff wrapped in. And then when you're like, yeah. Yeah. And that was always an accent. But that was not enough. That was instilled into black people. That colorism situation. And that's why I say we got to, I had to learn to accept who I am because of that. The people, I remember this girl told me when I was in middle school, she was light-skinned, a taller girl. I mean, if I could, she was a big old giant, right? I would be like, she's going to be a man. Like, this is back in the day. But she told me because I was dark-skinned and because I had a deeper voice at very young that I was going to, people are going to see me as a man. And because I was kind of, my personality is super dominant. And this is what was instilled to us. They made us think that the softer, the lighter they were, the softer they are, the softer we perceive them, the closer to white they are. And that is, that's just something that white folks put in us. You mix, you got a little bit of white in you. You got a little chair key, you got a little whatever. You know, you're better. And if a white person at a job tells you why you're not like them, just take that as a stamp of approval, right? Because you're not like them. Yeah, you wear your hair differently. You're one of the good ones. Yeah, you're the good ones. Back in the day, you took that as a stamp of approval. I'm not like them. I'm not, you know, I'm dark-skinned, I'm whatever, but I'm not like them. That has been something that it's going to be hard to break, especially with, because of how it's systemic, how we view each other. It sucks that way. My mom had to tell me, girl, you're okay. Your hair is beautiful. Like just because it's a little thicker, it doesn't mean that it's not long. Just because you are dark-skinned, it doesn't mean that you're not beautiful. And I had to have that conversation with my mom. I feel for you with the hair maintenance. I feel for you with the hair maintenance, friend, because I have come to learn so many things. Like I've read so many things about black hair. And he's like, I honestly kudos to you. Yeah. No, if I probably shave my head and wear wigs and just live an easier life because I feel for you. Well, you have an easy life. You got the straight hair. Now, that's what we have to learn. No, no, no. This is not normal. Okay. No, my hair is a frizzy mess. If I don't do it, it requires some maintenance, but not like your maintenance. So yeah, we had to learn. And they made us think that maintenance with our hair is troublesome. So you know, we have the choice to choose if I want to wear my hair straight. If I want to, because going into journalism, I was told at my HBCU because at the time again, time matters, right? Even there, they had issues with how you wear your hair. They had to tell me, Rebecca, you are dark-skinned. And in order to get a job in local news, you're going to have to wear your hair straight. I would say maybe not big hoop earrings, but probably not be like a... No, but I'm glad that today things have changed and I can wear my big hoop earrings and stuff. Oh, I love that, but I'm full school journalism now. No, I get it. No, I get it. Back in the day, it was studs. I had to wear my hair straight. I had to wear minimal makeup. I couldn't do my nails the way I did because they would associate that with ghetto. Today, I see white women all the time. They wear hair that is unnatural colored and they have tattoos and they're wearing like bright colors on their nails and they don't get deemed white trash, but if I, to this day, were to do that on certain platforms, I still get deemed ghetto or whatever. Not hear me tell the story all the time. I was working for a company. People said that I spoke very well and I do have degree in journalism and they told me that I gave BT on me because my hair was big and because my nails. So I had to learn not to give a damn about that because I know I'm qualified. When it comes to the hair thing, I had to learn as well. Again, it's not, they told us systemically that it is crazy maintenance, but once you learn how to love yourself and you know that this is just your, how your hair curls, how you can just really wear your hair out. I just know it's work. Yeah, it's not that much work. I think what's at the core of everything Rebecca is saying, though, is that what is considered professional in the workplace is more white, right? Do you look or act more white? Is her voice more white? Is your makeup more white? Are your earrings more white? Is your hairstyle more white? That's professional. Be a professional, please. Dress white. Be white. Have a white voice when you talk on the phone. Please don't try and use any slang or anything like that. Exactly. That's what the professional standard is supposed to be. Yeah. And I'm glad that now, you know, and that is also what prohibits me from getting some opportunities because I chose to be myself, like just be who I am. And again, like, I know the professionalism and journalism. You might call me. Like I said, some days I'd be like, dang it, Rebecca, you're getting old. Because what they call journalism today ain't journalism. But at the same time, what's accepted, what has always been accepted, how white people can move through it, it's still problematic for black folks. You know, women having to wear their hair a certain way is still considered a big deal. You always see it online like, yes, wear your braids, sis, when it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Why are we pointing that out? Yeah. You should be able to wear your braids. That's just that. I will tell you an interesting story. Once when I was practicing law, this is in Texas and I had to drive down to a little town called Poteet and go to their little county courthouse. And I'm standing there and I'm wearing a pantsuit, like, you know, because I'm not really a dresser, skirt person. I'm really not. I'm wearing a pantsuit and I was very professional and I kid you not. I won my motion and this judge looked at me and said, I assume the next time you're going to be in my court, you'll be dressed appropriately. Because I ought to have been in a dress with pantyhose. You know what I'm saying? And this was, I'm not that old. Like this was like in 99, you know, maybe like 98, 99. And yeah. And I was dressed inappropriately for wearing pants. Wait, no, you're muted. No, you're frozen. Frozen. Am I frozen? No, you're good. You're good. You're back. No, but I said we have issues being women already, right? Yeah. In this country, around the world, like being a woman is already like your, your low tier. And then so they want to see you in the pantsuits, the, the, not the pantsuit, excuse me, the skirts, the pantyhose, the heels, you got to have your hair certain kind of way. You got to look business casual. And then, you know, being black on top of that, we have to do that regardless. If we change any little thing, they're going to be like, Oh, this got a woman. She's unqualified. What is she going to come here with? She's not like, who is she? They're going to, if you walk into somewhere, they're going to not even expect you to be the lawyer, to be the representation, to be the person that they're not going to expect you to be that. And they'll assume you're the court reporter. They'll assume you're the nurse. They'll assume you're the court reporter. They'll assume that. Yeah. Yeah. I stopped assuming so long ago with this crap. Cause it really makes an ass of you and me. But like, you know what I mean? Like it's just so, it's so off the wall. Like I don't ever assume anything anymore about people. And you said that was 99 and you ain't on the internet. We in 2024 and we're still having to deal with that in some way, shape or form. Yeah. Yeah. But I am not wearing pantyhose. And if anybody ever suggests that to me, I will have a bonfire of pantyhose on their front friggin lawn. Yeah. I love a good pantyhose. Don't get me wrong with a good pair of shorts. You just thought you pair it, right? You just thought you pair it. Oh God. It's so, it's so uncomfortable and finding and. What did you all think about John Cena at the Oscars? He's apparently. Didn't see it. What are you doing? Yeah. He came out completely naked, except for a small card covering his crotch that was, was basically the only part. Otherwise he was, he was completely naked. What was it for? Like what was he promoting? He was presenting best costume, but he forgot one that that was. Yeah. Yeah. He's also promoting a raunchy comedy on Amazon Prime. I was going to say, I mean not that I would mind that early saying John Cena. Oh, I recommend looking it up just for research purposes. Why? Sure. He looks pretty fit. So I mean, I'm sure. He does. You know what's wild? He, he looks crazy good. And all the discourse was about how he's been emasculated. This is the forced feminization of men. And this is a cuckoldry. That's, that's what it, they said it's called the humiliation ritual. You literally cannot shame or humiliate or emasculate a literal professional wrestler by having them go out there. We're in little to no clothing. It's literally what they signed up for. But, but John Cena is someone like, he is extremely like, I find him humble and fairly self-deprecating. And he follows me. Really? Whatever, man. He's one of those mass followers. He just follows everyone and everyone. Don't take away from Mike's follower. Like he follows Mike and that's all right. And Lance. These are dubs for us. I might follow. I got to follow. He follows everybody. It's okay. He follows it. Something tells me he's not following us because he likes our political takes. Let's put it that way. Why not? Why would he be following you? He just, he just one of those mass follow. Like he just follows everyone and anyone on Twitter. Oh, I see. So like if you, right. So he, okay. Yeah. I actually don't like John Cena. I'm trying to big time him since he follows me. It's no big deal. I don't follow him. I don't know what his politics are. I don't know. I don't know. I probably do. I'm not sure I can check. Now I feel bad. John Cusack is promoting me, which is really cool. John Cusack is a sweetheart. He's been promoting me. Yeah. We have some interesting followers. It's really interesting like people, but apparently as much as John will promote, he will not donate. So I try. I do follow John Cena. So there's, it's all, it's all good between us. My good friend, John Cena. John. He granted the most make a wish. Wishes. Wow. Oh, he has. Okay. Well, John Cena, he's still kind of cute. So we'll shout out to John Cena. His body. That's not to ruin him for all you, but he did a man who looks like that naked. I don't understand. No, I didn't. Masculation ritual. I mean, a little bit harder. I know I need the escalation ritual. God damn. Fucking John Cena. He's doing okay, but he has work to do. Okay. Yeah. Maybe he needs to like just increase his amount of time at the gym or something. He could drop 10 pounds. No, I'm just kidding. One thing that was really interesting to me is that like somebody said, well, what would happen if like Lil Nas X did this, for example, I don't know who said that on Twitter, but it was a really good point because it's like, okay, what would the conversation be? Because there's still this backlash, right? They're shoving it down our throat. They're shoving it down our throat. It wouldn't have been about him being a masculine. It would be how we're being punished. Listen, it's the internet. It's the world. Everybody's going to have a problem with something. Who are you talking about? He's a super famous pop star. Little Nas X. He's a guy. Yeah. Little Nas X. Do you know him? No, I guess he is. He's the one that's been in. Is he like, is there? Oh, he did expect he's with the devil. I was just wanting to know like, why would it be different if he came out with the cart? Like I have no idea. Because he part of the LGBTQIA plus to me. Yeah. That's why I'm sorry. Yeah. Would it be accused of like grooming? Like if a gay person did that or something? Which is really interesting. It's the internet. No matter who comes out that way. Some group of first people are going to have an issue with it. Like you said, this John Cena comes out and they were like, oh my goodness, he's being emasculated. Look how they just make it. They're doing this. They're forcing him out there. They're forcing him out there. What emasculated? Yeah. I've never heard of forced criminalization until, okay. So now I hear that. Like, yeah, y'all teach me something every day. And I'm on the internet. Oh, we got to start teaching you about furries. Yeah. I know what that is. We don't even know what that is yet. They run the internet. I will tell you, okay. I have been to Comic Con. I am married to a complete dork. I have comic book. He does auctions in this studio. So anything that has to do with like anime, comics, comics, gaming, all that, whatever. I have a husband and two boys. Okay. Interesting. So I've learned a few things. Okay. But I don't know pop stars. I don't know, like, probably not a lot. What's your favorite anime? You know pop stars. You give me back to the day. I don't have any favorite anime. I just know phrases of things and names of things just because I hear about it from them. I don't want to participate in this. You're forced. You're forced. Well, now since we have children, he takes them. These nerds are shoving it down our throat. I was the original penny from like Big Bang Theory when we were in college going to the comic book store and it would be like, oh my God. So you're vintage. I wouldn't say vintage, but you're old school. Yeah. I mean, I was born in 71. So what's your pop star go to? Madonna? Yeah. Well, I've seen all of them in concert, which is amazing back in the day. Yeah. I saw Prince Purple Rain at the Orange Bowl, which they called the Purple Bowl, and I was 11th row on the floor to watch Prince. Yeah. So Springsteen the Who, we saw all the good concerts. That's the thing I feel best about. I'm not even that old, but we still have good concerts. No. No, you're not that old. No. I liked Madonna back then when I was that age. Now, I don't know. I'm not such a pop person. I would go classic rock, even soul, R&B. I'm more like, and not newer stuff. I'm old school stuff. I can sit there and listen to somebody like Smokey Robinson. And I like watching young people. He's in concert, girl. He's winding his way. He's in concert right now on tour. I like watching young people react to the music that I like. I love that. I love watching young people, especially people that grew up only listening to hip hop, hear some of the songs and some of the people. I'm watching these people fall in love with Dolly, I love Dolly. Or any of that. And it's just so nice. Or the Bee Gees. There's such a big new following for the Bee Gees by some of these young people. TikTok is doing that for people. So once one of these older artists go viral on the tick and talk, that's when you see a lot of these old artists get, you know, go viral and they start making their coins and on Spotify. And they're like, I've heard that before. Oh, so and so sampled it. I don't even know what that means. But like, you know, and I'm thinking, yes, but they were original at one point. Well, you know, that that's been happening for a while. You know, I'm glad that I grew up in an era where we had to force listening to the radio. So sometimes you couldn't listen to hip hop because hip hop wasn't coming on at that time. You had to listen to whatever was coming on at the wrong, the radio station at that time. Did you try to tape it? Did you try to tape it with the cassettes? Yes, I did. We did take it with the cassette. We would do the record and whatever other. Yeah, you had to do that. Yeah. Yeah. We had to do that too. Now things are just moving a little quicker. Very fast. So fast. Yeah. Have you, what's moving quick? I don't, I know I'm just going to mention this quickly because I know it's a little hefty and a little meaty. So with with what's going on in Haiti, a lot has been going on in Haiti. As you guys know, I am in patient descent. That is where most of my family, you know, lives. And so a lot has been going on with Haiti. And they're basically in a state of emergency. The prime minister was basically ousted after meeting with Kenyan officials to bring in some help into Haiti amongst the war and a lot of the crimes and the governmental, you know, the lack of governmental stability there at this moment since the assassination of our president two years ago. With that being said, so right now there's a lot going on. It's funny because just in January, I remember conversations, there's a meeting with Kali Karakam, trying to say that in my American accent. Karakam, there's a meeting without any true Haitian representation there, which I thought was problematic, which they were going to and included U.S., France, Canada, Jamaica, and two other countries, I believe. And they all got together to discuss the state of Haiti and what that was going to look like in the future, how they're going to go in and help. Kenya has since backed off on sending in some militants to massive offer for the U.S. and for the prince. Yeah. And so it's funny because I say this to say that a lot of, okay, so the U.S. in January said they didn't want nothing to do with it. I remember when a lot of Haitians were trying to come to the country and they weren't able to come in after the assassination of the president. Can I ask where you live, Rebecca? I'm just curious because I'm in South Florida, so it's more like from here. I'm from South Florida, but that's where all of my family is. It's in Haiti. Actually in the capital. I'm just asking because it is still huge right here right now. And Sheila Sherples-McCormick, our representative, has been doing everything she can to talk to the community and stuff. So I'm just curious if you were connected to South Florida. Yeah, no I am. I'm from actually West Palm Beach. So that's where my mom and dad live at the moment. But all of my family is pretty much in PAP, which is Port-au-Prince, which is a lot of where a lot of the stuff is happening. So a lot of this, the news has been reported. That's now being reported. And I'm glad that it's in mainstream media, but this has been going on for a while. When we heard about Ukraine in Russia, this is basically what has been happening in Haiti, even with the Dominican Republic. We've been literally at war, but they don't, the United States doesn't want to declare it as that for us. So we haven't been getting mass deportations. A lot of unalived people from the Dominican Republic are border. They're sending people over. They're killing people. They do all of the above. And that's been happening because people are looking for what? Safer environments. They're looking to just better themselves. Do they want to leave Haiti? No. But the conditions right now, especially in the city at PAP is just unlivable. They can't. There's no, there is no stability. They don't have any kind of leadership that true leadership there. And so when they tried to come here, we know what happened. They were all sent back. But Ukrainians, which deserved also to come here because of what was going on when they got the opportunity, they got a little bit of a red carpet treatment. They got grace. They got, you know, there was acknowledgement about what was going on with them. And the US didn't want to acknowledge that in January when Haiti was asking for some type of assistance, they said they wanted nothing to do with that. They're not going to touch it. But now, during this time where there's no kind of leadership, Haiti has come, not Haiti, the US, as much as they had their hands in a lot of the things that are going on in Haiti, the US now wanted to have conversations and allegedly urged, even though they now said that they didn't do so, but they urged the Prime Minister Ariel Henri to not, to step down. And for them to basically fund, come together and take control over Haiti. And that's what Haitians do not want in the moment. I'd say that to say a lot of the connections with Haiti, like South Florida, like Florida itself with Governor Ron DeSantis, we know what's going to happen in this time. People are desperate. They're going to find ways to try to get out of there and go to any border, any, whatever they can. And I know because I had family members do this as well, to go get help. And whatever that looks like, risking their lives, to go through jungles in Chile, through Brazil, to get to Mexico. Now I'm saying all these things because that's out of the way, but this is their routes, right? To come and do that, to get to a Texas border, to be met with border patrol and treated like slaves at the border. This is what Governor Ron DeSantis is now trying to put in place as well. He wants extra security on the southern border amid what's happening in Haiti, saying that he doesn't want people to come here with what's going on. He doesn't want to give the help. And whoever comes there is going to be turned away. Like they're going to be shipped back immediately or dealt with, put into, you know, like to me, I call them like low-concentration camps, you know, four Haitians down in Florida. This is exactly how, to me, black immigrants are always met. And I've told the story millions of times about, under that Texas bridge a few years ago when they were coming here seeking asylum, and my cousin called me and I was going to do the work to go pick them up. And I spoke to the woman who was housing them at the time, and it wasn't really housing, but giving them food and giving them advice about what to do. They didn't speak English, so I had to speak. But my cousin, she was saying she never seen anything like this. She's been doing this for a while. People come to this border all the time. They take them in. They tell them what to do. But for some reason with Haitian immigrants, black immigrants, it's just like they are treated the worst. She was saying she's never seen anything like it. So I just want to bring that out because what's happening in Haiti right now is not different than what's happening in a lot of states. So there are militants, groups, bad people, governmental crisis. There's no leadership, all of that. You know, people are saying that Haiti is the Gaza of the Caribbean. And I can't unsee it, unhear it. I know. I am connected to it by blood. I have people there right now who are fighting for their life every single day. We can't do nothing about it. If it's not governmental crisis, if it's not the actual war that's going on, if it's not the government that's against the people in the government and the government that isn't there, you know, if it's not that, we have the environmental crisis. We have all of these things in where all of these other countries will come and take advantage of what's going on in Haiti and say they're helping them build up money. I can name so many of your favorite activists. I can name your, like all of the other activists that are in the country. I don't fuck with Hillary Clinton because I know what happened there. If you guys Google Bill Clinton sat before and apologized about what him and his wife did in Haiti, yet that hasn't gone viral that didn't make mainstream media none of that. But he literally admitted to what he did in that country. In my mother's land. But you know, this is why I say, you know, they'll take advantage of it. They'll take an opportunity, they'll take advantage of people like the Red Cross and build what was it, six homes. Hillary Clinton and the Red Cross, six homes during the earthquake. So this is why a lot of the Haitians are like, we are in such a crisis, but we don't want that to come and assist us anymore. We don't need that. So we need actual help that's going to make sense for the country. And so there's a lot of rhetoric going around, but I want people to understand this is just as any country is going through something. There is a lot of bad hands at play. There are people who are want to take advantage of Haiti, almost obliterated so that they can restart and take control of it. Why? Because Haiti is the first black republic that gained its independence from France. And we had to pay for that. That doesn't sound logic. It's not logical, but we had to pay for our independence and keep it there. And while we did that, we helped other countries. We helped American states get their independence. And we are still treated like the bottom tier. No help. No nothing. Nothing at all. So, you know, I just wanted to bring that, you know, because I know a lot of people are like, well, how do you feel about it? Because I am Haitian and because I am dealing with it. I didn't want to ask you about that. Is your family okay? Yeah. My family, if I say that they're okay, they're doing their best. And I'm not here from them. And what's going on? My older brother, my oldest brother who moved here not too long ago with his children, he goes back all the time. And the way that he has to go back is in an illegal manner. Like, you know, he has to go to a country that don't like us. And I have family that lives in that country for safety. And they have to live in a certain area. And I'm talking about the Dominican Republic. I'm talking about the Dominican Republic. They're doing two Haitians. And that's the closest area they can go and seek safety. That's always been a problem. It's always been a problem. It's always been a problem. I have a family member that just got to Chile. And if I tell you how she got there, you know, you know, y'all wouldn't even believe it. I know about the whole thing between the Dominican Republic and the Colombian. And I'm talking about the Colombian community. I remember the Maryl boat lift. I remember, I know I've seen the difference in how we treat Cubans versus how we've treated each other. Wet foot, dry foot, you call whatever the policy you want to. But just in general, it has always been just so stark, the difference. And I noticed it when I was little. And it has always been the case. We have one policy. It should be like bus tickets instead of airfare, right? Everyone pays the same price instead of like they can sort of pick and choose and like different people, different things. But no, we have always abused. There's nothing, there's nothing even, you know, when Donald Trump was president and how he called it a shithole country and people ate me alive when I covered that story. The United States, even when the United States literally put foot on our necks, still assisted the United States when they needed assistance to free some of these states to get that like a lot of these states came to because of Haitians. That's the bottom line. We are not going to forgive Haiti for having independence. We are having the audacity to get independent. Correct. It's how dare these slaves, how dare they do that. for eternity and treat you like horribly. And I have been seeing how we treat the Haitian people in South Florida. I can only speak for down here, but always bad. Always bad, always been embarrassing to me. Like this is just not, it's wrong. Yeah, it is wrong. And the Clintons used it as like some sort of slush fund for the Clinton founding. Oh yeah, and this is what I say. Like I tried lightly about that. I don't give a damn. Y'all know I don't cost so much on the show, but I really don't give two fucks about Hillary Clinton. I don't care if she's a woman. I don't give, I don't care what she's done. I don't care about the emails. I don't care about that because I know what she stood for, what she's done to my country. And I know even following that, like her husband sat up there and apologized for what he did, but this an apology is a recognition. It doesn't do anything for what already happened. And he's not the only one. Like I said, this is thing, this is historically because we had audacity. They always, they used us to assist, other countries have used us to assist them and freeing themselves, including the Dominican Republic. All of that, their flags have our colors on there because we helped free them. A lot of Latin countries have that. Look it up, it's historical. We are very strong people, have resilience and all this stuff, but the way that what's going on and how they want to just say we've always been the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere because that's how the United States and mainstream media always, around the world, always, that's what they start with when they talk about Haiti instead of it being the first Black Republic of the world. Well, we benefit from you being suppressed. Exactly. So it is what, I mean like that, it's again, I feel like it's just you've been, they've been being pun, you, not you, but Haiti's being punished for daring to not want to be that. And so we will now like, same way we punish Cuba forever in a day for something that is really not anything, anybody should be punished for, but Haitians have just been always treated horribly. I just, it's so glaring to me. And I, it's heartbreaking. Yeah, and I remember when I was going off about what is the title 42, they utilized it for Ukraine's, they adjusted it for Ukrainians to be able to come in and do their thing. When Haitians were like, hey, can we come in on title 42? Even Joe Biden decided, hey, I don't think so. We're going to pull back because we're going to use it under the guise of coronavirus being spread into the country. But then when I'm like, there's a stark difference because Ukrainians, what's the difference? Like they're coming from, Oh, we know. They're coming out. But yeah, the difference is one, one of the communities are white, one of the countries are white, and then one of the countries are black. So, and so you got to stick to your guns on that one. And I don't care. Like I said, and again, I don't give a damn, I don't care who it is. It's Trump or Joe Biden. The action is like, this is what I'm seeing. You guys are choosing. There, and there is no reason. There was no reason given. It was going under the guise of coronavirus. Ukrainians, the same time, coronavirus is a thing, but you guys wanted to help. They needed the help. They needed that. And so do Americans. But right now, Haitians, but right now Haitians are like, we don't even want to, we don't even want to mess with people on the outside. We need something. They're willing to go like, even Russia, they're willing to get help. They do not want it because historically, what United States has done to the country. So what's the best thing, what can we do? Like what's the best thing for people to do right now? So right now, I would say for people in Haiti. Like, so right now I would say to, this is what I'm going to say. Mainstream media is going to post these, like a certain type of rhetoric, a certain type of narrative. I would say, I would say that's what every headline says right now. Yeah. That's what it is. And that is true. That's not the only thing. Why is this happening? They're not giving the why, they're not giving all of those things. So follow pages like Jean Douze, I don't even know how to say that in English, Jane Douze, Faces of Haiti. Creole, it'll be like the death of me down here. I cannot. Yeah. Haitian times is they're following it perfectly. They'll give you what exactly is happening. And I'm saying, if you can't get it right now, nothing can really go into Haiti the way it's going. A lot of organizations cannot function right now the way it's going because I'm going to tell you this. There are a lot of people, gangs are doing their thing and gangs are being funded by governments that are connected to the US government. So how they're moving and stuff like that. This is, and this is not, I'm not making this up. This is not conspiracy. This is actually what is happening. And they'll see American officials there. Nobody knows that they're there, but they're walking the streets. They're doing, this is what's going on there. And so, but there are a lot of Haitians who are like, we can't. So they're outside risking their life every day, fighting against these officials. They're at the airport. They're forcing officials out. They're trying to do this, but it's being viewed as almost like looting when we're outside and where a black person has been killed at the hands of an officer. And what they're gonna do is they're gonna immediately going to looting and say, this is what black people are doing. This is, and not like, so there are, this is a lot of what's going on, but follow up like, what I've been following is I love the Haitian times. They got people on the ground who are covering the story, who are putting themselves in harm's way, who are witnessing people get unalived. All of this stuff is happening every day in Haiti. So follow Haitian time so that you can see what's going on, know what's going on, properly educate yourselves and advise yourselves on what's going on. And I think that's what I'll ask you guys to do first. And as I get information- That I can do. That I'm gonna- Yeah. And as I connect to organizations, official organizations, like I did a couple of years ago where I was collecting things to send into Haiti where I knew- And how do you know who you're trying? You have to know who you're trying to get there. Right now, we're not there. We're not there. I'm not there. So I can't give you guys that right now, but y'all know I'm good for it. And when I do get that information, I will let y'all know. But right now, if you wanna know what's going on properly, right? And you wanna get the- To educate yourselves correctly on what's going on instead of just going with mainstream media is dropping on y'all. Because right now, all of Haiti is not in that, but the city, that city where everything is, we don't even have a White House anymore. Right? We have no actual leadership. The person that was supposed to take over while Ariel Henry only has stepped down, Guy Philippe. He can't even go in and he can't qualify as a president. So they don't even want the people to have a word in what's going on because they're saying that they don't, they're not qualified to have, like the citizens of Haiti, we don't wanna hear their voices. So they want outside voices. And I'm thinking, I know that's very problematic. That is problematic to me. As much as Haitians may have a hand in something that's going on, like we all do in our communities. This is the thing. People wanna say, oh, it's Haitians. They just say it's whatever. And everybody's community. Everybody is a problem, okay? So what we know now is that doesn't mean that we don't deserve help. That doesn't mean that we deserve to be stomped on over and viewed as is whatever. We know historically they want to keep us down. I just hope because what I'm seeing now is very stressful. These days have been super stressful for me. What I'm seeing now and what I'm knowing now is just like almost like how with the way in the state of Haiti right now, it's almost like if I tell you guys, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'll be lying to y'all. I'll be lying to y'all. Is there any faction or any group? Like I'm gonna just go and do a ton of research on it. Because like I feel like it's, what would be the group of people that you're thinking is there any group of people there that has the interest of the people there and is trying to establish? Yes there is, but they're not, every time they're coming up to speak, they're being pushed down because literally they will come up with a group of people they have like there are people, and this is what I want people to understand. There are people who are qualified in Haiti. There are people who have actual, my camera, they have actual ideas and policy that they wanna put in place. However, because the powers that be, they are not gonna allow it. They have no voice. They have nothing. They look at Haiti as a small country that just isn't worth it. And so that's what is going on. But like I said, educate yourselves on what are going on. Please check out The Haitian Times. If y'all wanna know what's really going on, it's a great page. Check out Faces of Haiti. If y'all wanna see more than just the issues that surround Haiti, please check it out. Oh, I fixed my camera. But please check that out. That's gonna help you understand where Haiti is and what's actually going on. I'm posting the link to Haitian Times's Twitter in the chats for everyone to see. So... There was an interview with a group called Black Alliance for Peace on Democracy Now. They were also quite good. They're trying to do it apparently in Haiti. I saw that in the chat as well. I saw someone mention that. I've heard of that. I think we had somebody on from with Black Alliance for Peace. I wanna think, I think Margaret Kimberley is somehow affiliated with the Black Alliance for Peace in some capacity, because that sounds very familiar to me anyway. But listen, the people that are trying to right now take over Haiti, it includes France. And mind you, we gained our independence. We rebelled against France. That's how we got our independence. And we had to pay for that for life. So that tells you everything you need to know. So that's one of the groups that want to go ahead and take over, and who told the world that we weren't worth nothing. And they're like to me, Israel, when it comes to Haitians fighting for their life. France to me is similar to, because they have the power. They're well known. They have allies everywhere. People are afraid to go against France. And Haiti to everybody else is just a little community, a little country, a little island country, in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, we're very powerful. That's how we gained our independence. A lot of other people gained their independence because of Haiti. So, but what France gave the world is that we don't deserve. We are not, we're just less than, and that's how the world continued to view us. Even other countries in the Caribbean continue to view us. So they don't care what happens with Haiti, but of course I'm one person I'm biased because I am Haitian. I care. I care what happens to Haiti and Haitians in my family. So, and I care how people discuss it. So that's why I wanted to go ahead and make sure I clear the air, I clear the room on how that conversation will be had if I'm ever in the room. So, yeah. I care about the Haitians. I care about Haiti and the Haitians. Yes, and thank you for that. I mean, I know you live in Florida. You better care about them. We, we. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. Half the time I don't know what they're saying, but I don't know why. And they probably talk about you, but it's all right. I know. I'm sure they do, whatever. No, I actually, we have quite a few like local representative leaders, state legislators that I am friends with that are Haitian. And so it is actually a very strong community down here. And yeah, no, I'm just joking. I, they don't, they don't try to talk about, I don't think so. No, they probably do, but no, it's okay. But I look, I look, I'm a green guy. Do the best I can. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, with that being said, it is a 730. I'm not sure if you all wanted to get to a super chat. 36. Oh yes, yes. 730 from me, 1030 for everyone else. Oh, you got a lot of time to be up. I got to sleep. Yeah, we're gonna be up. Where are you now, Rebecca? Where are you? I am in outskirts of Atlanta, but I'm in Atlanta. Georgia. Georgia. I was up there for the cop city weekend thing. Oh yeah. In November and it was, it was so cool. There were so many different programs that they had at different places. It was really neat. Yeah. You guys have some issues there. You guys have- You're a gooey girl. Coming from Florida, New York wasn't so bad when I was there, but it was terrible, but it wasn't so bad. And then now coming to Georgia, I'm like, damn, I would just go right up to North Florida. That's how I feel like, that's where I am. So yeah, it's terrible. Yeah. Well, we're at the end of the show. Yeah, I ain't gonna hold you. I'm sorry I ran my mouth, but I came late and took over, but yeah, if we want to read the super chats, y'all know I got about two. We can do that and I can leave y'all to it. Go to town. Yeah. Well, who's gonna pull them up? Well, actually first, Jen, if you want to- Yeah, I'm gonna do my- I have to. I have to do it. Yeah, I'm being like hounded by people on the text. So guys, if you have any interest in supporting the campaign, we need all the help we can get. I am running as a Democrat. We addressed that in the very beginning. It's really strategy. It's not ideology. And I have three years plus a content on generational change with a J. So guys, check that out. You can see like where I am on so many things over the past few years. But our campaign site is gen 2024.org. And you can find us on social media at Jen for Congress 2024. And help is very greatly appreciated in all forms. And by all means in kind things, anybody who has any interest in helping, we take all help. We're just trying to like Sisyphusian out some sort of like snake head. And we have like a lot of theories about what this might change for South Florida. And it'll be like when the house lands on the witch and then the munchkins all come out and it just turns the color. Like that's sort of how bad it is down here right now. So if you guys want to help, we'd be very appreciative. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, well, thank you so much. We're gonna go into super chats. You are first day as long as you want. Thanks for you guys, you don't have to. It was so nice to meet you, Rebecca. Bye guys. Bye. Take care. Great to have you on the show. Yeah, well, let's see here. I will go through. Rebecca, do you want me to do yours first? Yeah, you know, because I'm gonna slide. Listen, I know David ain't here, but at the same time, we'll be out of here. Listen, I'm not here for a long time, but I'm here for a good time. Okay, let me see. How do you, you can tell based on the little link thing, right, Matt? Yeah, but I can actually look in my chat and just go by that. Oh, okay. I'll pull it up if I see it then, okay. Okay, Jcast, I hope this was the first one. Let me see. No, it wasn't it, so I'm missing one of them, but that's okay. Somebody sent me one earlier saying that they came into the chat to show me loves and I don't see it right here, but I love you and I mean it. And thank you so much, but Jcast, my grandmother turned 90 today. Please don't tell Mike though I'm scared. Where is she? Where is she? Shout out to my grandmother. I don't want Mike to go punch a lady in the face. Happy birthday. Let's shout out to grandma. Grandma had turning 90. Happy birthday, spring baby. And then Smokey Rose, they wouldn't have been mad if it was Sid Sweeney. Not at all, not at all. Omega Shinron Dragon. Did you add Shinron in there? Cause I feel like it wasn't there before. Did everyone cover the death of Akira Toriyama and does out esteemed yes know anything of Dragon Ball? Oh, does our esteemed yes know anything of Dragon Ball? What anime do any of you currently watch? Is Akira Toriyama the one that created Dragon Ball? Yeah, we talked about it a little bit in the super chats last time cause it actually happened when we were reading through it. So, yeah. I love Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball is probably, I don't know. So anything that looks like it, and that this could be terrible for me, but Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon? Is that like Sailor Moon? Is that like a Sailor Moon? Okay. I just want to say I had to whisper it to y'all so y'all can give me a second. Yeah, like nobody heard it cause you whispered it to us. Everybody can hear it, but I gotta whisper it to y'all. But Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z were stuff that I watched growing up. I watched Dragon Ball Z because we couldn't catch replay. So after school, you had to watch it live when it came on. And it came on with every day, every weekday. And if you missed it, you missed it. They would do a little recap in the beginning, but baby, if you missed it, you missed it. We couldn't record at that time. We didn't have the DVR. So we would leave school and we would go in front of the TV, wait for it to come on and we would watch it. It's like a soap opera. But it was good. I love, I have Dragon Ball Z T-shirts. My favorite person is Vegeta. So yeah, because we have the same hairline. So that little widow's deep, real deep in the front. Yeah, I love Vegeta. So what's the next one? Pond's Gambit. I'm born in DR living in Miami and by myself constantly arguing with people like my mom about the embarrassing treatment, torridation, love you B. Oh, I love you too. And I thank you for being somebody who is Dominican is not being blind to what's happening. I love having, I have family members that live there. I have Dominican family members and they have to live in almost like outside of regular living because of what's going on. So when I went there last, we were, we had to be outside because they knew that we were Haitian. And a lot of the ones that were Haitian, they had to speak to us. I was saying to you, they had to whisper to us on the streets that they were Haitian in order for us to speak to each other because they were afraid that they would lose their jobs or whatever the case may be. Again, Pond's Gambit with another one Haitians paid France for about 150 years for freedom. We sure did. And I think it was, what was that bank? Some bank came to because of the city bank. Yes, because that came in, took some money and they got city bank because of that. That's why I don't even fuck with city bank, okay? So, okay, so here we go. That name again from last Thursday, Toon Bosun, Oyen Nugat, Oyen Nugat. The leftist mafia episode 65, Becca's hour show was, my 30, my 30, my 30, my 30, my 30, my 30, my 30, my 30. I needed our, we did not have for back to last week. What was going on? Cause all I've been hearing about it is Elon Musk running his mouth on it. So to hear it from someone who actually A, knows what she's talking about. B, has connections to Haiti. C, has good sources that report from Haiti. I saw it back and I was educated. So thank you. You're welcome. It's not that I was like, oh, I believe what Elon Musk was saying before you. No, I don't believe it. When that's anything that you're hearing, somebody speak about it or whatever. And even in mainstream media, it's kind of the same rhetoric, just different tone. So like hearing it, you know, from, yeah, I have to, I mean, he's going, he's going on about cannibals and shit. Can we talk for two seconds about how the rights say they're all anti-war? We're not for like, you know, giving arms to Ukraine. We're not interventionists. And then when it comes to Haiti, they're like, they're cannibals. I saw a man eating a penis. There's video footage of it. We need to invade, invade right now. And I'm like, what is happening? But they just said in January that the US, they don't want no parts of it. But see, whatever, they will take a one-off situation out of all, like 99, they'll take one. And they'll say, this is why we need to go and attack and do this and do that and whatever. And not help. Not help. When they do send help, they send help. They raise millions of dollars and they build six homes. That country, literally millions of dollars could do a lot for that country. A hundred thousand dollars could do a lot. Like a thousand bucks for a city can do so much in Haiti. Wasn't a hundred million dollars the amount that they were proposing for Kenya to send Kenyans over there as a military force because they didn't want the optics of white people suddenly recolonizing Haiti again. So they wanted to get black people to do it. But Kenya refused ultimately. But that's like, when I learned that, I was like, that's so fucked up. Yeah, he just met. The prime minister just left there a few days ago and Haiti was like, yeah, F the prime minister. We know what's going on. So when he left, they went to the airport, Haitians, because we like to rebel. They went to the airport and was like, pull up. So he couldn't even land there. He had to land in Puerto Rico. And so the US allegedly, because they said they didn't do it, but yeah, it's been reported that they did, urged the prime minister to step down. When that happened, Kenya was like, hey, yo, we don't want them to do it. We're not, we ain't coming. We don't want them to do it. That's it. So and now the US is reporting that they never urged him to step down, even though he said it to the prime minister. So I stated that. But here we are. And we're going to figure it out. But people like Elon Musk should not be the people who are in charge of telling this story. And that's what the important part of this. This whole thing is because he's a racist, white supremacist, a racist, white supremacist. And people who are in Canada, people who are outside of it, people who are from places who do not who historically have ties that were, that have always were built to suppress, suppress Haiti because of their freedom. I don't want to hear from you either. So there are direct people on the ground who are reporting what's going on in English. So you guys can get that. Again, head over to The Haitian Times. There are so many other pages, but they're probably in Creole. So I don't want to, I don't want to throw y'all off. And they, the same way that we've been seeing in Gaza, there are images. There are images. There's everything that you want. They are out there. They're there. So, yeah. But let's go to the next one. Kate Hartley, France, US and Canada were like, hold up. We're going to fly down and help you pick a new government this weekend right quick. They sure did it. They waited until all of this stuff hit the fan where we had no prime minister. And they were like, oh, Haiti. Yeah, we were called. We said we won't help y'all, but now y'all ain't got no real leadership. So we're going to come down and we're going to see about leadership for you. We're going to meet up with other countries and not have any representation for real. For Haitians alone. That's insane to me. And then we're going to have a conversation. So that's what happened. There's some more, Rebecca, at the top that I think we missed. Yes, there is. Okay, I'll go to the very top and just kind of go down one by one. Let me know if I'm missing any, but this is the first one I see. Firmware, FRMware. UNRWA is doing what Israel is obligated to do as the occupying power in Israel knows it. Andrew S, this is what I saw first. Nothing special, just showing support to Rebecca. Thank you, Andrew. I appreciate it. And then we, oh, Tuesday is Illinois's primary, Illinois 07 District in Chicago, progressive Kenya. I hope I'm saying Kenya, Kenya, Kenna. Collins running for Congress again after nearly winning in 2022, a big election hopefully. I hope that one comes for you guys. Good, we need good leaders. We need good leaders. We need good leaders, please. I want people to have good leaders. I wish that on every state, every city. Y'all get somebody that loves y'all and wants to take care of y'all. I just, I hope that for every city. Smokey Rose, thank you for the 222. That is my angel numbers. They did the same to Michelle Obama. She's talking about when they called her. Remember when the conservatives was like, is she a man? Yeah. They stuck on, just like the tan suit that Barack Obama wore. They stuck on that. That's still going on, actually. They made, they literally made, because she's a taller woman, a muscular woman, strung a woman, they made her feel, they put that out there that she was a man and so many women. I would sit at places and hear conversations amongst white people, older, white, soccer mom, white women in the early 2000s and they would be having these conversations like she's such a man. Like that is a man right there. She's a middle girl. Why would we have, yeah, they were saying that. But the last one that I want to read is from WizTactics, the kidnapping of Ali Steed after being democratically elected twice was so effed up. Yes. And that's what I'm saying. There's a lot of craziness and Ali Steed is the former president of Haiti years and years ago, over a decade ago. And yeah, there's a lot of controversy around a lot of our leadership because they're connections with governments outside of Haiti. So Haitians, if they feel some kind of crazy stuff they go out still ass. They will. And that's just, it ain't always great but this is something that is something that happens in Haiti. But with that being said, y'all, I love you guys. I love you. It was nice getting our Rebecca fix. We didn't see you last week. I know, yeah. I was here last week. Was I here last week? No, I wasn't. Maybe I was. You were in the channel. I think she was here last week. Oh, no, it was the week before, but we couldn't really talk because it was the state of the union. So I gave you guys nothing. So, yeah, it wasn't a regular show last week. It was a regular Rebecca. So, but you know, here I am and I will see you guys next Thursday. You guys have a good five, 15 more hours of your rest of the show. And I love you guys. See you guys. You love you too. Take care. I do have to say the number of super chats right now are lower than usual. So if anyone wants us to stay around for five hours, you better start letting. You know what? I am fine with a quick show getting off of here. Yeah. Lance, do you have any one you want to? I'll read some super chats. I got some small and some cute ones and some very personal ones. No, there's actually not a lot of text. So I could do this quickly. Abscondage, thank you very much for the five dollars. Joe needs to make a big splash. You play to win the election and give an Israel real ultimatum and following up on it could be the one. If you was willing to do that, I don't see anything outside of some language being used every now and then, but I haven't seen anything like he's more concerned now about it seems like building a port to be able to try and bring in humanitarian aid that's being denied directly by the Israeli government that he is actually funding by giving bombs to. So yeah, I mean, would like to see it, but I don't see anything yet. Andrew S, thank you so much for being a member and also thank you so much for the very generous five gifted served times membership. And then Jcast with the five dollars. Here you go, Lance. Take David Sick Pay. And as I said in chat, that's the most valuable cash of all. If you send me David Dole's monies, it's extra valuable. And also I'll see call me plant lady and fame all eight of you so much for your study. But I've been in this program for a little while, so I'll hang out and read chats. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to read them all assuming they're for David Dole too, Matt. And then stop. I'll let you know when I see something. Yeah, I just pull up mine so I see. That's probably the easiest way to do it. All right. Okay. Hang on, let me get my windows in order here. Okay, first one here. This is actually for me from American WASP. Substitute Biden Harris with Newsome Whitmer, please. I'll take that. I'll take Harris at the top of the ticket and Biden being demoted. I just really worry about his chances. That's how desperate I am where I'm like yearning for comma. Like, hey, hi, let's go. What are we doing? Let's put, if you're going to float Newsome Whitmer, let's put Whitmer at the top of the ticket. Yeah. Yeah. I would agree with that too, for sure. The bar is low. This one's for me. Charlie DeGinema with a member, a member of Super Chat. Chuck Schumer apparently calling for Israel regime change rather bluntly was not something I expected. Right. Like I mentioned earlier, listen, obviously as of right now in the United States, every single politician that has said something in terms of like, you know, the Chuck Schumer's and the Joe Biden's, et cetera. It's all just been talk. They have the power to actually do something but it's just been talk. However, the, what they're saying in recent, really weak, I was going to say recent weeks, but no, recent, the recent past week has been a stark change to the usual rhetoric. Still, obviously, much, much, much more is needed, but it does seem like the cracks are there. It's chipping away the activism, the overt actions of Israel. It's all, it's all coming to a head and they're starting to realize that they might at least need to change course here. Yeah, just to be clear though, he wasn't calling for regime change. Israel has a parliamentary system and calling new elections is just part of that process. So he was telling Netanyahu to call for new elections and hold new elections. The regime change would be a complete, like a different governmental structure, like a switch, you know. I took it as, you know, the Netanyahu regime coming through. Yeah, but it's more of an administration, not an actual regime in like the general sense. You know what I mean? Like the regime of Israel, the Knesset, like a regime change would be, all right, where you go into a presidential system, we're gonna, you know, elect different. So just to be clear, because regime change would be what we did in Iraq. That's not what he's calling for. Right, right. I wanna hear Chuck Schumer go out there and go from the river to the sea. Like that's what I wanna hear. Not a chance. Can you imagine with this like glasses? Listen, I'm gonna say something. Okay, this one's for me from JP, $11 or euros, excuse me. Who said this? You just heard from Senate Majority Leader and blood-sucking parasite Mitch McConnell. Hint, he hates old people. I think it's Matt that said that. Not me, definitely. I love Leftist Mafia looking forward to watching the show. Tomorrow, what's tomorrow? Well, if you watch the VOD, right? If you're... I see, I see. I'm not gonna read this super chat from somebody who sent in a rude comment. I wanna read the rude comment, let me read it. Well, it's about our guests. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. If it was about me, I would read it. Or if it was about David Dole, I would read it. But it's... Yeah, if you're gonna send us money to say rude shit, that's fine, send us all the money you want, but we're not gonna read it. So thanks for the money though. I will also take David Dole's. Wait, did this person send it to me? So that's not one of my... I think they sent it to David. I don't see it in mine. That would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it? David Dole's chat. Okay, so the next one. That's what we get for bringing a nationalist on this program as one of the hosts. It is a rational nationalist. I mean, that's like basically, I mean, that's like basically saying, oh, he's a moderate Nazi. A national socialist, yeah. Okay, so from Ming Tang, $5. Thank you, Ming Tang, nice to see you. Humanist report, can you ask Jen if she plans to help out Cori Bush with her PAC funding plans? We want her, but we need to keep the others too. So we missed this, but I don't think she's gonna be helping out Cori Bush. The only way that I could see the funds being shared is if it was through like an organization like Justice Democrats or Brand New Congress, I don't even think Brand New Congress exists anymore. So I don't think that there would be any exchange in funds unless Jen were to win the primary and then progressives might fund her and vice versa and whatnot. But like in terms of her just running as a primary challenger, I don't think she's in a position to really help other incumbents, unfortunately, but I know she would if she could. Okay, so this is from Donald James. It's a member super chat. Support Jen Perlman against Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz in Florida, yes, for sure, for sure. Mariano Rivera with a super chat. No state has reached communism yet. China doesn't claim to have reached that stage, but their ultra rift aren't permitted to influence the government like ours. I mean, you know, I guess you hedge there with like ours at the end, but you better be sure that they are taking part in the government in some ways. Let's see here. J-Cas, $5. If potatoes are vegetables and tomatoes are fruits, does that make french fries with ketchup technically a salad? Oh, that one's for me, I missed it. My bad, J-Cas, but my- By that logic, yeah, right? Let me read it again, hold on, if potatoes are vegetables and tomatoes are fruits, does that make french fries with ketchup technically a salad? Yeah. I mean, I guess, wait, do you eat fruit and vegetables and a salad? I don't, what, isn't salad just vegetables? Oh, that's true. Although some people are weird and they put raisins in their salads. Oh, I think if you add raisins to anything, you're ruining a good dish. Yeah. I don't like raisins in anything. I agree. I don't mind raisins in a box. Yeah, right, yeah. But, yeah. It's not good with anything. Although- Like raisins and like rice, raisins and rice pudding, raisins and, what else do people put raisins in? Just mashed potatoes, right? People put raisins in everything. Oh, God, that's just, I don't care. Stop putting raisins in things, man, just, no, no raisins. And this is a message specifically to white people. Stop putting raisins. Yeah, they put raisins in everything, right? Just stop. I don't understand why they do that, yeah. Just don't do it. Don't do it. It's not okay. Raisins and bagels? No, no, no, no, no, no, no raisins. I'm fine, okay, you know what? Raisins are a snack food. I'm fine with that. Why not put fucking cheese doodles in a bagel? Why not run out through some fucking cheese doodles in a rice pudding? It's a snack food, okay? Okay, so the next one is from me from Phillip Schwarz, $2, trans rights. Thank you so much. Yes, absolutely, trans rights always. Andrew S, the recent Alex Jones meme was hilarious. And we're shooting the leftist ass. I love how he posted that. Like, he posted like a serious quote of himself. Like, I will eat your leftist ass. And everybody responded like, oh, wow, you're an ass eater. And he's like, no, no, no, I mean like, I will literally engage in cannibalism. Not that I will eat your ass. That's where the quote is from. He originally was talking about eating his neighbors. He's like, I'm just gonna be completely honest with you folks. If it came down to the apocalypse, whatever, zombies and all that, I would eat you. I would eat you. I will eat my neighbors. And he's like, I will eat your leftist ass. Yeah, it was really funny because I don't think he realized that saying eating ass meant something different. They're turning the frickin' Alex Jones gay. The quote didn't hit the way he wanted it to. So it was very funny. Yeah. Hey, straight people can eat ass too. Just to be clear. And they do. Yeah. They do. Oh, that's true. He could have been talking about, you know, leftist ass of the opposite sex, right? That's true. Well, he's a chaser, so we can also add that. Right, right. 180K Chen, $5, thank you so much. Just caught up on political vids, was behind, did a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, awesome game, exceeded my expectations, hoping Dragon's Dogma II does the same. Co-signed 100%. I'm enjoying Rebirth a lot, exceeded my expectations, thought that the first one, the remake was kind of mid, but I didn't grow up with the original, so it wasn't necessarily nostalgic to me, but I'm really enjoying this. And Dragon's Dogma II looks fucking amazing. So, yeah, hope it's good. MC, $10, please change the subject, done. You're welcome. I don't know what we were talking about then. So, the subject was changed. You're welcome, friend. You're welcome. Your $10 worked, obviously. Yeah, yeah. ABS, Anonymous Bastard of Society with $5. Hey, guys, I seem to be in the area of a tornado storm. Pray for me, keep up the great work, guys. Man, well, you better take care of yourself if you need to, take shelter. I didn't know, like, what are you supposed to do? Hopefully you have prepper buckets. You gotta get that Tim Pool prepper bucket combo. Yeah. You know, the macaroni cheese with broccoli. I saw that, yeah. Yeah, pranks for you. But seriously, though, hopefully everything's okay. That's pretty worrying. We have this, I don't see a message. Bill Havarchuk with, oh, I think he deleted his Super Chat and then resent it with, maybe he misspelled something. There's another one for him coming up. Okay. Nice. Typo double Super Chats. I don't know if deleting it brings, like, I don't know if he gets a refund on that first one, but he gave me one anyway. Bill Havarchuk, thank you for the Super Chat, regarding John Cena. First of all, I wanna say, before I read the rest of his post here, if you are sending a Super Chat based on a very specific thing that we mentioned earlier in the show, what Bill did here is fantastic. Please, let us know the context. Because if you just put hashtag with his coyote versus acne, I like the guessing game. I've been like, what the fun is he talking about? But regarding John Cena, now I know exactly what he's talking about. So here we go. Bill Havarchuk, regarding John Cena, hashtag release coyote versus acne. Yeah, John Cena is in. He stars in that Warner Brothers movie. Oh, you'll never see it. A coyote versus acne. That Warner Brothers is going to completely delete and never release in order to get a tax break. And from what I've heard. Same thing with Back Girl. Yeah, but unlike Back Girl. I don't get that. Like you already spent the money making the film. I've heard Back Girl is really bad. That's why it's not good. I heard the opposite. People in the industry were like, it was amazing. Michael Keaton's basically plays like Daddy Batman and raises her and it's all super awesome. Everyone who worked on it loved the project. Really? Okay, so I miss all. And like coyote versus whatever acne, they apparently had finished filming so they were about to start post-production. Whereas the coyote one was like 95% finished. Right, maybe that's what I was thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But according to what I've heard, the coyote versus acne movie is fantastic for people. This is WB, right? WB Studios. They're the idiots who just released the Suicide Squad game that bombed and then they're like, actually, we want to do more live service games instead of single player games. Which it defies all logic, but I mean, okay. I think that if you are going to do this, if you're trying to get a tax break on something like this, then the product that you're getting a tax break on that's unreleased should become property of the state. It should become public domain that anyone can watch and enjoy. And that's that. I mean, you're gonna get a huge tax break on it. The studio. No, so yeah, and that way, either they do that or they are forced to release the movie. I think it will be leaked. I don't think this one's gonna quietly go away. And to be clear, it's not just the tax break, which is like, it's a bit, but it's not enough to try and justify the decisions. It's also because they're pulling the plug on certain properties because they don't want to go through with the entire, you have to pay a lot more money to release it. You have to pay almost double the budget in advertising. You have to plan for international markets. You have to apply to the Chinese market and make sure you have an edited version that like adheres to their standards. So for those two projects specifically, they calculated it would save them more money to just cancel it all together. Then you need the process down the road, but it's so foolish. This is really based on Looney Tunes, though. It's gonna be good. Like you don't need to do all that. You don't need to do much, honestly. You don't gotta do much. This is a Looney Tunes movie, a mix of animation and live action. People love that when it comes to the Looney Tunes. I mean, you spent all that money on Space Gem 2, which got in turtle music. I was about to use that as an example is why people don't love these movies. Well, Space Gem, the original Space Gem is fantastic. Oh, yes it is. I will stand behind that. Not even just like Nostalgia Factor. It's a fantastic movie, obviously. Fantastic soundtrack. Yeah. No, it's a great movie. Space Gem, the first Space Gem is an amazing movie. I haven't seen it since I was a kid and it was my favorite movie. I don't think you would have loved it. It's true. It's a great movie. Who framed Roger Rabbit? Amazing movie. People love these sort of animated live action mixed movies. And when you got John Cena, and you got Looney Tunes together, it's gonna do, you don't need to sell it much. I mean, just release the goddamn movie. So stupid. Next one here from Jcast, $5. Thank you, Jcast. I work with Haiti refugees. Kind, hard-working people. It pisses me off how not just French colonization screwed Haiti over, but also the US and city being. Yeah, it's really sad. And I'm still shocked. I mean, I'm not shocked, but I'm just taken aback by how quickly the Haitian immigrants that were here were sent back. Like remember the viral photos of the Border Patrol on horseback that looked like they had whips, but it turns out they weren't whipping them or some shit? They were deported so fucking fast. That was like one of the first major Biden policies, you know, with regard to immigration, where he he did that. But that was him, you know? And so, yeah, it's sad. It really is sad. Do not come. Yeah, it's it's just we're such a fucked up racist country. Brian B with a super chat. Binder's shirt goes hard. A. F. Thank you. I appreciate it, Brian. Yeah, let's see your shirt. They live should they live? Oh, yeah. Oh, very cool. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good shirt. Yeah. Wow. That's good. Yeah. Nice. It's a great movie. One of my all time faves. And, you know, you got Roddy Roddy Piper in there. I mean, it's the greatest fight scene in cinematic history. Is it? Yeah, it hits all the Matt Binder, you know, checkmarks on the list. It's where we're going from horror, sci-fi, a good political message. Very good. You got you got it. The fight scene, the it's it's it's a map all out of bubble gum. All the great one liners. Yeah. OK, I'm skipping the next one because they are talking shits. And this person, Joshua, who sent this, you've been put in time out twice. You're going to get permanently banned if you continue to talk shit about one of our hosts. So you're on thin ice. Watch it. I don't care if you're sending us money like a certain hammer mouth and stop being stupid. OK, you're actually like pissing me off every single time. You got some dumb ass shit talking shit about one of our hosts that I'm not going to tolerate every single time. No, I'm not going to say who's going to say anyone else. But it's like, I want it. You know, yeah, if it's about me, I want to hate. No, it's just one of our hosts. Yeah, and I'm not going to tolerate that. So fuck off or be permanently banned or do better. But you get one last chance. So just a few. Talk shit about me, please. If you need to talk shit about somebody, yeah, do it to me. Yeah, it gets off on it, actually. You might be feeding a kink. I might be. Yeah. So we have one for. How eat that ass? Oh, OK, Tara might have actually already banned them. Thank you, Tara. I appreciate that. Yeah, I don't want the negativity and the stupidity. Like I'm fine with constructive criticism, but that person is just being a dick. And I don't like that shit. So fuck off. OK, zero PE. This one is for Rebecca. Let me read this really quick. Thank you for further discussing Haiti, Rebecca. And thank you, Lance, for mentioning Black Alliance for Peace. Well, pleasure. I saw them on Democracy Now. They they've sounded pretty noble, to be completely honest with you. I mean, they're in their cause. Yeah. OK, and then we have this one. I don't think this is for Rebecca, but let me read this. It's directed at her. Thank you, Rebecca, for sharing your Haitian experience from Kathy Willott. Twenty dollars. Thank you, Kathy. And then this one is for me from Raven McQueen Live, one ninety nine. Trans lives matter. Thank you. Yes, of course. Brian B with a super chat. I think I'm becoming more of an anarchist. The farther left radicalized I get, I can't look at the US government and not be completely disgusted anymore. Yeah, if you're going to become an anarchist, make sure you're a leftist anarchist and you become like an anarcho capitalist. Those aren't anarchists, so those are real anarchists. Yeah. No, the real anarchists are our leftists. Yes. All right. I think the rest, with the exception of one, are for you. So I'm just going to the next three at least are for for you. So all right, Ryan Lennon fan with a membership super chat member for eight months. Thank you, Ryan. President change in Israel does nothing as it does in every US client state. There's another genocidal capitalist to feel devoid waiting in line like a dog. I mean, yeah, in Israel, especially, they you see the writer coming out of pretty much every single politician in Israel. I mean, it is it's it's not going to change much of anything. In fact, if it'll, you know, it'll it'll give the US politicians here the ability to be like, oh, it's, you know, look, Netanyahu is not in charge anymore. Everything over there is hunky dory. We could support them again. But it is. I do think it's still. Interesting decision for them to get like this now. It does show that they're feeling the heat. Yeah. Cold dog with a super chat. Do you think a legal case can be made against higher right check, a.k.a. lips of tic-tac? I'm worried about how close she is to Trump. Also, much love, y'all. I don't think so. Honestly, I know I would say depending on who you are and where you are, if you are a public figure who lives in Canada, we recently passed a legislation that you can actually sue someone for forms of hate speech so that might be something to pursue or look into. But I can't believe this for anything. Right. Yeah. Well, I mean, definitely defamation or liable or slander, that kind of stuff. Right. In the case of Haya, there's got to be a lot of people where she is intentionally maliciously lied that they are pedophiles or groomers and that's affected their own workplace or their own standard of living or the quality of life. You might have a case there. I'm not a lawyer, consult a lawyer. None. Nothing I say is legal advice, but I'm just saying, I think there has been enough people that she's directly tried to imply that they're a pedophile that can be life ruining. Like that can, that can, you know, you're a further future employers might find her name when you Google you and ellipse a TikTok, you know, archived tweet is still up there. You know, she deletes it like she does to a lot of the people she accuses. And I will say that probably you would have, you know, if there is a legal chance anywhere, that is probably more likely than what I think most people think of when they think of legal action against her. And that is like for the for the bomb threats and things like that. It directed it. Oh, right. It's got too much possible deniability. Yes, right. There's too many layers or degrees removed from what we know. Like if it comes out that, you know, she is much more active in facilitating it. That's that's you can't. I know she can't. Yeah, it's not that's not the same thing. I mean, was it was it higher right check or was it fucking Andy? No, was it Andy? No, or was it Matt Walsh? Was it Matt Walsh? Was it Christopher Rufo? Was it Christopher Rufo? Like any one of their fans could have been the person who's like, I'm taking guns to the drain show. You know, it's it's not even that. You like, unless she or any of these guys specifically directed them to do something, just talking about a topic that, you know, but are you not inciting violence? If you say this place is filled with pedophiles and they are molesting or mutilating kids and then people take up arms as a result of you saying that. That lie, by the way, because that's what is leading to the children's hospitals getting the calls. You know, I think it I think it depends whether she implies that something needs to be done about it. She says they're coming for your kids and some of the posts. I think, let's say I'm not defending her. I'm just talking about. No, no, I know. We're just talking about the legal. There is, especially in the US, and trust me, you you it's it's much safer to be here than, you know, in the UK, you can fucking get sued for anything. You see all these people apologizing to J.K. Rowling and the UK. Yes, I saw. It's like ridiculous. Trust me, mother, the one right to deny the Holocaust. Right. The one good thing about one of the one of the things you could be proud to be American to actually be proud to be American about is that, you know, our laws protecting speech are are, you know, are really good. And they do work in our favor 99 percent of the time. So, you know, I will say this, though, like, even though defamation is very, very difficult to prove, as Lance was kind of alluding to, there are some instances that I think that that person has a good case, for example, next Benedict's teacher. So Chyre Rychik shared a tick talk of him where he's saying, if your parents don't accept you, you know, fuck them, I'm your parent now. And she called him a groomer. And then that led to so much harassment fired for grooming. Like that means fired for having or trying to coerce a kid into a sexual relation. Now, that could if that that could be a case because she's the one who started that malicious, you know, libel is his life was ruined. Like he lost his job and it actually did affect him. He might he might he or she might have a case. Any sort of implication, though, that she could be legally held responsible for, you know, the death of that student, though, is, I think, you know, you're. No, I don't think she's she can be legally held responsible for. Right, right, right. She is certainly you would certainly be sick. You can certainly win a victory lap over the fact that she's like, oh, like people owe me an apology. I was like an appall in this somehow better in your eyes that someone committed suicide as opposed to they were I don't. Yeah, I don't get I don't get I don't get I don't get the you know, spiking the football over this. This is the same literally the same thing. Honestly, the original thing was that the what's the the students next, right? That's the next Benedict. Next Benedict, the original claim was next Benedict was attacked and later passed away based on the the assault from other students. But now it comes out that, no, the next Benedict just committed suicide the next day. I mean, it's just as bad. I'm sorry. It's just as bad. Oh, yeah. It's it's disturbing to try and flip this as a win in some way or that you're owed an apology. It's like all the same things remain. Like there was an incredible toxic culture of bullying trans people. You specifically target a student that next was fond of, by the way. Like there's a lot of the contributing factors to this. It's not that you literally told someone you should probably go and like attack the specific person, right? Where that that's actionable, sure. But in this case, like why in the fuck is she part of like, what is it, the school board trustees advisory council for the library or some shit. Yeah, it's so unhinged. And yeah, and there's also that report from the Washington Post that said that states that enact these anti LGBTQ plus laws, they see more than quadruple in bullying. And so like in that state of Oklahoma, the governor had signed a law forcing trans students to use the bathroom of the sex that's listed on their birth certificate and come to find out. Next Benedict was actually a trans male. He used he they pronouns. And so he got into this confrontation in the girls room with people that were bullying. So we don't have all the details, but maybe it's the case that like him going into the group, being forced to use the bathroom that he didn't identify with led to the bullying. It's I mean, this is a situation that could have completely been avoided. But the fact that he committed suicide doesn't necessarily change that climate that was cultivated by the adults. You know, so it's just it's so sad. And the fact that she did that victory lap. Disgusting. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I see people saying that, you know, she's higher, higher, right? Chick is responsible. Listen, I think she played a role in everything that went on there as well. Clearly, she played some sort of role based on the harassment of the teacher that apparently was a major pillar of support for next Benedict. And then that teacher left and, you know, next Benedict didn't have that anymore. You know, certainly there is a role played. We are discussing legal liability. And I think it's pretty clear based on, you know, at least what we know. We're not lawyers, but based on what I've read on and understand. I don't see a legal case to be made. Maybe there's a lawyer that knows the law way more, you know, obviously intricately than I and there is they do see a legal avenue there. But I don't see an obvious legal case here against higher right chick for for this specific thing. I'm I just it's I'm not saying that because I'm happy about it. It just is what it is. It's the truth. But yeah, listen, there's going to be there's going to come a time where she's going to get caught like with a lesbian or something. Like, I feel like, you know, the universe is going to pay it back. Maybe that's cope. But I feel like, you know, it's already starting. Like, she got into a huge spat with Ron DeSantis, who called her a grifter and a liar. That was good. That was a good let them fight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, you know, she is very clearly losing a lot of people. Like, oh, yeah. Like she lost her backing from the Babylon B, which there seems like drama surrounding that, too. Like they were not happy with what they were what they were getting out of the money they gave her. You know what I mean? Like they were paying her from what I understand. There was some good arrangement in her favor, and they would publicly like the Babylon B guys would call publicly call her out on Twitter for not creating enough content or something. And it was like clearly not a positive relationship between the two. I mean, listen, I thought it was great. I mean, you get what you deserve, paying this this woman to create this anti-trans content. I mean, you know, but I'm just pointing out that she's burning bridges wherever she goes. If you if you didn't know and didn't see it in the what is it? The Taylor Lorenz interview. She doesn't spend a lot of time doing research or work. Doesn't know at all what the fuck she's talking about. She's not she's not she's not smart. Like, listen. Each of these conservative grifters, these right wing influencers, they all do have a talent that is that that has enabled them to do this very specific thing. Like we can talk about the Bench Peerows and the Tim Pools all we want, but they do know how to do what they do very well. That's why they've been able to it's a very specific talent that's basically only in this one very specific lane, you know, online personality media and stuff, online talking heads for the conservative. Hey, Tim Pools, a rock star. Come on, he's got a successful music career on the side. But, you know, it said, you know, and then it's a rap star. Right. I mean, Alex Jones is a great example. The dude is a very talented broadcaster. There's no doubt about it. He's a very. I hate that he makes me laugh. I hate it. I know it's one of the world. I was like, oh, I'm ashamed of myself. She she doesn't have any of that. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. One of the least charismatic humans I've ever heard. Yeah. She's not quick. She doesn't have charisma. She doesn't have speaking ability. No, he's not a witty. She's not, you know, good at research or able to dig in or she doesn't have like connections, sources to do scoops. She's got nothing. She's got nothing. She's someone who fell into what she she fell into what she's doing. And she has done nothing to actually live up to the expectations that her own audience sets for her. Like, you know, she's just like all of her stuff. It's just people sending her stuff. She's done no original work. Easy, though, when it was just like chaos, right? She could just be like, this is a groomer. This is a pedophile. This is a groomer. And eventually people are like, yeah, you can't do that. Like these are not literal child molesters. This is just like a teacher saying they're gay. That's that's the whole video, you know. Right. Yeah, someone said, what were they expecting? They were expecting a conservative influencer to the likes of, you know, Charlie Kirk or what's his face? The former project Veritas guy. Oh, James O'Keeffe. James O'Keeffe. That's that's what they said. That's definitely. They expected James O'Keeffe and they got captured. They thought they thought they thought they were going to get the one of those types that owned the anti-trans lane for the online right. And instead they got this absolutely boring, talentless loser, honestly, who can't even who can't even speak to what she supposedly believes in. Yeah, which is amazing. Yeah, you love that that's your opponent. They're very stupid. Haven't thought about their own worldview. Can't articulate specifically why they think that trans people shouldn't exist. It's honestly like a gift to us. And last week, just seeing the damage control from Shai Harajic and the Monster Liberty Liberty after their disastrous interviews, like, like they cannot defend their positions, let alone. Can they even like articulate what the fuck their position is? So that is like one thing working on our side or really not on our side, just on the side of like humanity. Right. Yeah. Same thing with Aiden Ross accidentally snitching on the tape and walked away in Romania. That's just like the worst. Sometimes just so silly that you're like, OK, this, I guess this. I now I believe in karma a bit. There seems to be some some cosmic alliance happening here. Right. Sometimes they checkmate themselves and you love to see it. We got a lot of that this week. All right. So the next one is for me from Sir Jervil with five dollars. Thank you so much. The Baileys must have become radicalized by TikTok to make Chuck Schumer call for regime change in Israel. Does no one get this? You guys don't know. I don't get it. I'm sorry. Chuck Schumer has said before that he makes all of his political decisions based on what he thinks a fictional family that lives on Long Island called the Baileys would want out of their their their representative. Look it up. This is it is it is a hilarious story. Chuck Schumer thing ever. One with the Baileys. It is really one of the funny. He has like very specific details too about what he hold on of his imaginary friends. That's not good. Oh, all right. So here is this is from the New Yorker magazine in 2007. For you guys to know how deep I am in this world. Yeah, 2007. Damn. 2007. Yes. Schumer says that he's accompanied everywhere he goes by two imaginary middle class friends who advised him on all middle class concerns, their names, until recently were Joe and Eilino Riley. For the for the book's sake, we wanted them to be more national, Schumer said. So they became the Baileys. The Baileys live in Massa Piqua in Nassau County. That's Long Island, the town that is invariably known on Long Island as Massa Pizza. The Baileys are both 45 years old. Joe works for an insurance company. Eileen is a part-time employee at a doctor's office. They worry about terrorism and about values. And they are patriots and they are patriots. Wait for it. This is how specific he gets on imaginary constituents. Joe, Joe takes off his cap and sings along with the national anthem before the occasional Islanders game Schumer wrote. He elaborated their night. They're not ideologues. They're worried about property taxes. It's the tax they hate. And that's what and that's what Democrats don't get. He has also drafted the Baileys in defending the CIA's human intelligence program. Had Joe and Eileen been in the room after the human intelligence grew up, they would not have indulged in the blame game. Gutted the human intelligence program or weakened America. The Baileys, Schumer said, sometimes died out. Not often, though, because of the cost. And they like Chinese, which raised the question. What would the Baileys eat? If they were here at a human dynasty, I guess that was the restaurant they were talking to Schumer at the time. The more conventional stuff, Schumer said, but they're with it. So wait, it continues. It continues. They're with it. I mean, they're not not with it. Schumer looked at a plate of chicken and vegetables and said they wouldn't order that. They would order a Kung Pao chicken. Oh, it was suggested to Schumer that he is a little bit weird. He acknowledged this to be true. They're real for me, he said. I love the Baileys. What? That is not OK. As swing voters, Schumer said, the Baileys were very anti-Hillary when she ran in 2000, but they voted for her in 2006. He went on, they like Rudy. It depends on how he plays it. If Rudy continues to adhere to the right wing Republican line, just cutting taxes for the wealthy, he won't get their vote. I'm guessing the Baileys are Rudy fans anymore. It turns out, Schumer said, as he ate an almond cookie, that there are that there are some actual Baileys in Massa Piqua, and he once met a couple of them. Mrs. Baileys was a kind woman, very nice, a nice lady. But the actual Mr. Baileys was a Republican. Even worse, Schumer said, he had a goatee. Joe Baileys would never have a goatee, Schumer said. That is the weirdest shit I have ever heard of my entire life. Yeah, that's true. This man should not be near power. Sir, sir, sir, Jervil, thank you for that deep cut. It seems like only you and I got this right off the bat. I did. Wow. That is a deep cut. I wonder if Mrs. Baileys pegs Mr. Baileys. Like, does he really get real deep into the war with it? Like, I'm curious. See, it helps to have an elder millennial here on your broadcast, you know, all right. So the next one here is for you. Tungbosin with a super chat, $10 super chat. Thank you, Tungbosin. Um, shooting on the A train at Hoyt Schumer Schumer Horn, the story behind this kind of wild, the police precinct is built within the station. So cops should already been on this. Yes, I heard about this. The videos are, excuse me, wild. There was a fight on the A train between a guy, two guys. One of their girlfriends or their friend that was a woman was with them. So, so, so guy A starts the fight. Guy B's woman friend stabs guy A in the back or something. And then guy A pulls out a gun on the train. Guy B and guy A start fighting. Guy B somehow gets guy A's gun and shoots guy A, the guy who originally introduced the gun. This is all happening on the train. There are videos of people laying, you know, screaming, crying, laying down on the floor so they don't get shot. It's horrendous. And the point here is that like the point of bringing it up on the show, it's not just like a local news story. Is that remember Kathy Hockel and Mayor Eric Adams working together to put more NYPD officers in the subway stations? National Guard. Sending the National Guard into the subway stations. Setting up, setting up bag checks. And then on top of that, this is a station, like Tom Bosen said, that literally has a precinct built into the station. Like they're right there. And they didn't nothing. Didn't stop this. The security theater didn't stop it. I mean, cops do not prevent crime. I'm sorry, they just don't. That's because they've been defunded, Matt. Yeah, true. Tom Bosen with the follow up super chat. In the end, police are just a reactive force and adding more does nothing to remedy root causes. Yes, I mean, they just don't. I mean, if you're if you're actually going to spend money on police, like it should be to like, but they don't care about this sort of stuff to be like to solve actual like cases that like actually already happened, like things like that, like the go through the the backlog of there shouldn't be a backlog, for example, of of of rape cases. Like if you're going to actually spend money on police, have them actually do things that police can actually do like the very few things they can do, they could solve or but, you know, that's not a priority. They don't prevent crime. They just do not. They do not prevent crime. Putting more cops on the streets does not do anything to prevent crime. It just doesn't. It just doesn't. In fact, it heightens tensions in communities where this happens. Next three and it results in more innocent or unarmed people's deaths. Honestly, that's what you get. Um, Tony Rizzo with a membership super chat chat. Insert context free comment here. Oh, Tony, doing the opposite of what I recommended. Wanda with a super chat, great show. As always, I even kind of miss David trying to end the show early. He will never succeed. He will never succeed. He can. He's welcome to leave early. He's welcome to leave early, but he will never succeed in shutting us down early. Unless he presses the end stream button and then you have no choice. I will restart the stream. For both. Looney Tunes, 9000 with a super chat, very a relevant username with the super chat message. I agree that WBDC at the Coyote film out shocked here, Looney Tunes, 9000 agree with that. This one's for me. Critical plug, five dollars. Thank you. This one is for Matt Binder. When are you and Fantano going to do an emo tier list? That would be amazing. That would be amazing. I would love to do that with Fantano. We could do a folk punk list, maybe. Dude, straight up punk list, hardcore list. Could do a bunch of different lists. But I think the emo one probably the most mainstream available one. I would do it. You should reach out to bring Fantano on. He's the one with the bigger He's the one with the huge platform. I feel weird going up to him being like, hey, Fantano, have me on. You know, but if he invited me on, I'd be I'd be honored. Follow up. I don't like I don't like asking people with large platforms because it seems like I'm trying to, you know, like Cloud Chase. Yeah, like, yeah, unless unless they specifically did something that made them a story to have them on my show to talk about what they did or the story they broke or whatever, you know, I wouldn't just reach out to someone and be like, have me on your show. But you know what? Maybe I need to do that because I get emails all the time from people pitching me to have them on to have them on my show. And I don't look at them negatively. It's just part of the business. But I feel like I said, I'm really bad at self-promoting. It's hurted my it's probably hurt my career throughout the entirety of me doing this, but I really feel dirty self-promoting. I can't help it, you know, it's it's I got to get over it eventually. Maybe maybe soon, maybe when I'm 40. Critical plug with the Super Chat for me. I could have just sent you this direct to you directly. But what are some of your favorite emo bends? I can have to wait for the Fentano tier list for that one, my friend. Simple plan, baby. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. No, no, no, no. All right. Chris Corcoran, five dollars. Thank you so much. Matt Walsh is just as boring as Chaya also wouldn't be shocked if he has skeletons in his closet or more specifically, in his case, his hard drive. Yeah. So the thing about Matt Walsh is that I think that, yeah, his delivery is more monotone, but he actually there is a level of intelligence there that allows him to get out. Oh, he's a quick talker. He's he's got he's not like we don't find him funny, but he's got to work to him that appeals to the conservative base. I see I see the appeal of Matt Walsh to that audience. I think he can hold. Yeah, he can hold an audience. He also speaks to crowds. Chaya would never be able to do like. Imagine Chaya talking to like a college crowd that's like booing her and heckling her. She would she wouldn't be able to do that. And that's like, I don't know that I could do that. It's not necessarily, you know, a fault to her. A lot of people can't. It takes a lot to hold an audience. There's specific strengths you've got to work to her. Strength is just like sharing videos of teachers that she calls pedophiles. And that's it, you know what I mean? Right, right. I mean, yeah, listen, I get what you say. Like Matt Walsh is very like he's got a monotonous voice. Very monotonous. Yeah, he's pretty dry. Him and I are the two most boring people he's not appealing to me. Like I that's why they're both so horrible because they're so boring. That's why they had to go so much harder than everyone else and be like, this is, you know, child mutilation and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. But with that said, he does have a wit about him that higher higher. I check does not have what she has. No. Yeah, there's like nothing. She's like one of these 90 year olds. I don't even have a podcast. I give Matt nothing. Yeah, honestly. There's a lot of bigots who are also entertaining to me. Donald Trump, Alex Jones. No, he's not entertaining. He's not entertaining. I'm not saying it's entertaining, but if you look, if he if he's put on the spot, even even if it's not a great answer, content wise, he's able to talk his way out of things in a in a like a good speech. I guess when he was caught in a lie on Joe Rogan, he was like, media matters is going to have a field day with this. Right. Yes. That's that's higher. Higher. I would say she would be like, we're a nation of truth. And I believe the truth is true. Right. There's a there's a there's a there's a quickness about being able to do that, to just basically get off of the topic that he has that she doesn't have. Like you saw it in the Taylor Lorenz thing. She could have easily just swatted any of these topics away, moved on, but instead she just sat there like adult. And she takes herself too seriously. She overplays the victim. There's no like there's no humor. It's just it's there. She's a charisma like vacuum. She's like negative charisma. And that's why like she like she thought, OK, she built up this huge lives of TikTok platform. And then she came out, she revealed her face and she's like, now I'm going to be famous. And it was like, who? What? No, go back to posting the queer people. That's like, well, fuck about you, lady. Well, what is this? That's true, actually. She hasn't been able to convert that into a different career. Yeah. She wanted to be a podcast host. I don't know, a fucking actress who knows what she wants, but nope, get back to posting TikToks. That's all that's all we want you for. Calling people pedophiles. That's yep. You do you. That's that's your strength. OK, the next two are for you. Zero P.E. the Super Chat. Matt, please tell me you remember Schumer's frat house from a few years ago. He lived there with another we Congress person. We in New York, maybe you meant to put. I don't I'm not sure. It was nasty, too. I don't remember Schumer's. What? What is with Schumer? I don't remember Schumer's. I do know that every I do know that every every graduation he attends, he tells the same speech about not like going to study abroad because of a girl he was interested in or something like that. And that didn't work out or something. He tells the same speech at every single graduation he goes to. That's a long running Schumer thing. But the frat house, I don't I don't recall that one. The real alpha house seen in 2013. Dick Durbin? That's the other that's the person he lived with. What? What looks and feels like the most rundown frat house on campus is actually the Capitol Hill home of some of the most powerful men in Washington. Welcome to the Omega house, joked Dick Durbin, who is the second ranking Democrat in the Senate. Remember, this is 2013. This is where I've lived for 31 years, boasted Chuck Schumer, the Senate's third ranking Democrat. It's hard to believe half the Senate Democratic leadership lives in these conditions together, but they have for decades. When Rep George Miller, Democrat in California, the third roommate and landlord came in the door. He immediately ribbed the senators as dead beats. You guys get the rent from them, asked Miller. The house is so legendary that it inspired the new television series alpha house on Amazon. What? I don't remember this actually. Yeah. I don't remember this. Bay Photo says in chat that Chuck Schumer still uses a flip phone. I believe that. I definitely believe that. Friends, I gotta take off. I gotta take Chico out. I love you both. I'll see ya. Love you. Take care. God bless. Bye. We are down to our last two. So this one is for you. The next one's for me. Celeste, thank God for music. Casey Musgrave's new album is dropping at midnight. Any new music y'all are looking forward to? I don't really listen to music that way. Oh, my favorite band is dropping. No, I just sort of like peruse whatever's out there and when it comes out, it comes out. Or I don't really wait for release dates. I don't listen to whole albums usually. I'm the same. Not like that. Not like that. Like if I discover an album, I'll listen to it. Because if I like a few songs off of it, but I'm not like, oh, I got this album is dropping. I gotta listen to it right now. Yeah, I'm the same way. When I was younger, I would be really excited for like certain releases. Like, oh, there's the new Kanye or Nicki Minaj. Now I just kind of like I'll put on whatever what's popular on like Apple Music and just let it play. And if there's something I like, I'll like add it to a playlist. Like, yeah, I don't, I couldn't even like name a lot of the artists that are in like my playlist. I just listen to it and I recognize the song. Every once in a while, there'll be like an R&B artist that I've been following for a while. And it's like, okay, I'll check out their album. But yeah, I'm just like Matt. Oh, thanks to the Serfs TV for rating me on Twitch. Hello, Serfs TV viewers. Whoa, that's a big channel. If you're unfamiliar with what we do here, it's a show called Leftist Mafia. We talk about now. I love doing this every week. Just like I love pretending. Someone got kicked off the show every week. We will beat these jokes until they are dead into the ground and keep beating it. I mean, they are already dead into the ground and here we are still going with them. Okay, Evan Christensen with 4.99. Thank you, sir. Frustration is understandable, but no politician is irredeemable except Republicans because your opposition today could be an ally tomorrow. I think some, I kind of disagree. I think that there are politicians that are irredeemable because they have such a big impact that it's not like a regular person where sometimes we'll fuck up. Sometimes I'll say something mean to somebody, but that's not out of their consequence. John Fetterman is irredeemable. Right, there you go, yeah. But they vote on policy of immense consequence and what they do sets the agenda for the country. So I feel like, yeah, it's just everything they do is magnified because they have so much power. So yeah, I think that's some are irredeemable. John Fetterman being probably the best example. Okay, well, you know what? That is it. So the last thing to do- Hold on, over on Twitch. I do have hypervisor subscribe for one month at tier one. Thank you, hypervisor. AussieKamiPlantLater, resubscribe with prime, subscribe for seven months. Thank you, AussieKamiPlantLady. Go on more shows, Binder, spread the lefty good news. Ha, ha, I would know. If you have a show you watch, doesn't even have to be a politics show. I feel like I'm a pretty entertaining guy all around. But any sort of stream, show, podcast, I don't care. I'll go on anything if they would like me to, if they invite me. So just reach out to them and say, hey, you should have Matt Binder on the show. All right, do we want to rate Cosmopolitics? Oh, who should we rate Cosmopolitics? Is that who we- Yeah, she's on.

I saw the first one, but it's been a while, so I want to watch it first, but yeah, that's the goal. I play Batista's character, as you can tell from our very similar body types. You do have the same physique, now that you mentioned it. Me and Batista are basically one and the same. You say Binder, I say Batista. Batista, Binder, let's call the whole thing.
