Pardon The Insurrection
Where we discuss the ongoing Congressional and criminal investigations of the January 6 coup orchestrated by the former President. And because insurrection wasn't enough, we'll also cover the Department of Justice espionage investigation, investigations relating to other members of Congress, and more. Don't worry, we're not handing out any pardons.
Pardon The Insurrection
Trump Won. Now What?
The unexpected happened and Kamala Harris los to Donald Trump in the election Join us on a satirical and thought-provoking journey as we navigate the hypothetical aftermath of this scenario, filled with humor and critical commentary. We dissect Kamala Harris's concession speech, examining her messages of resilience and hope, and explore the broader implications on race, democracy, and societal roles under a perceived fascist regime. Through a mix of irony and insight, we uncover what led to Trump's surprising victory and its impact on the American political landscape.
The future looks murky and full of contradictions—how does relying on technology for efficiency lead to inefficiencies, and what are the ramifications of such dilemmas on political leadership? We take a critical look at the potential overhaul of key agencies like the FDA and CDC and the dire consequences of inadequate leadership, particularly concerning public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The irony deepens as we tackle controversial political decisions, like abortion rights, and emphasize the need for political engagement, especially for marginalized communities like Black voters in Mississippi.
Amidst political challenges, the role of independent media becomes more vital than ever. As mainstream outlets falter, voices like Tony Michaels and the Meidas Touch Network strive to keep democracy intact with factual reporting. In our commitment to a better future, we call on listeners to support and share our mission, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing for the rights of marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ community. Our resolve is unyielding, and together, we aim to fight for justice and safeguard democracy.

David might be there. Well, I don't know, they might segregate, so being the hands of the paler variety you'll be in the special. You know, darker, the melanated pogrom.
Speaker 2:Oh for sure, yeah, they put in all them. Yeah, you know me and all my other fellow Black and Patriots will be on the work release program, where we never get released, but we do all the work anyway.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, you know you'll be picking up trash. You'll be like over, uh, work no ma'am, we will be. Yeah, we will not be picking up trash, we will be picking up cotton picking up cotton, picking up strawberries, since there's no more immigrants, you'll be working in the chicken coops, or maybe that's what the women will do. Maybe we'll be in the sweat shop, the sewing factory yeah y'all be in the factories. Making MAGA gear.
Speaker 2:I'm glad we have so many things to look forward to. One, two, three, four. Hey, this is D-Night.
Speaker 4:This is Ty.
Speaker 2:And the Jewish lady is already in a concentration camp and you're listening to the part of the Insurrection podcast. I'm kidding. No, I'm kidding, carol's got the night off, but Too soon D Too soon, God damn. You're listening to the part of the Insurrection podcast where we voted for the nice black lady with the pantsuits that were even more fire than Hillary Clinton's, but alas, it wasn't enough.
Speaker 5:You think it was the pantsuits.
Speaker 2:Hey, I actually you know this sounds absurdly ridiculous, but I feel like if Hillary Clinton had been able to wear her pantsuits the way Kamala Harris did, she probably would have won by even a larger margin in 2016. Yeah, because, yeah, kamala was out here. Kamala was out here on fire. But, in case you somehow missed it, democracy is over. We reelected the first fascist dictator, the president of the United States, who's going to bring forth the Fourth Reich and end it all and possibly start World War III. Hope you all are excited for the future to come. This is what you asked for and now you got it. But before we get to the diagnosis of everything that happened here, what the problem is and what the future holds, we've got a clip from Kamala Harris and what is practically her concession speech earlier today. Practically her concession speech earlier today.
Speaker 5:The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say, hear me when I say the light of America's promise will always burn bright, as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.
Speaker 2:Ty, have you ever fumbled a bad bitch? Do you know what that feeling is like?
Speaker 1:I have, I'm not even going to lie, I have. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:So yeah, in case you missed it, kamala Harris lost the election. Trump has been projected to be the winner. All the votes aren't counted yet. We'll get to be the winner. All the votes aren't counted yet. We'll get to that momentarily. But as it appears currently speaking, donald Trump is on track to take the White House in January. He'll be inaugurated and then it will all be over for democracy from there. But over the course of the past couple of days, I'm sure if you watch the results of the election pour in, you might have noticed that Trump seemingly overperformed with the number of demographics. We won't dive too deep down into the details.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean what's done is done, so I don't want to go into. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:It's just like I'll talk about that as we wrap up at the end, but it clearly led to him slightly overperforming to some degree with certain demographics and an electoral college victory and what appears to be a popular vote victory in terms of just. We'll compare to, you know, the last two times he's run for office where he lost a popular vote to the last two times he's run for office where he lost the popular vote. It appears as though he's on track to hit somewhere around the number he hit in 2020, while Kamala Harris is on pace to hit a number slightly higher than what Hillary Clinton did in 2016, which was a recipe for disaster, and disaster struck. But we have yet another clip from Kamala Harris on the state of America.
Speaker 5:To the young people who are watching it is I love you. To the young people who are watching it is OK to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it's going to be okay. On the campaign, I would often say when we fight, we win. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win, mean we won't win. That doesn't mean we won't win.
Speaker 5:The important thing is don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power and don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before. You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world, and so, to everyone who is watching, do not despair.
Speaker 5:This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together. Look, many of you know I started out as a prosecutor and throughout my career I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives, people who had suffered great harm, some of the worst times in their lives, people who had suffered great harm and great pain and yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration, let their determination be our charge.
Speaker 5:And I'll close with this there's an adage, and historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but, for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, america, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. The light, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service.
Speaker 1:All right, we missed out on one of the best women. We fucked up, okay, yeah, she's incredible, just the, the sheer, the class, the dignity, which what she carries herself is so incredibly. And of course, she could have jumped up and down and oh, this is you know and gone down that road, but she cares about America too much for that. She's like, okay, let them whatever, but we're gonna, as she said, roll up our sleeves. This is not the time to throw up our hands, but to roll up our sleeves. That petty motherfucker just dragged this out like he. There's nothing in him. I mean, jeffrey epstein said he has no moral compass. Yeah, you know, I hate that if the biggest pedophile on the planet is like so there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like the biggest pedophile on the planet is like there's something wrong with you. Yeah, the biggest pedophile on the planet was like hey, man, something's wrong with this guy yeah, and we voted for that.
Speaker 2:Well, not we, they voted for that over one of the. Again, they chose that over one of the greatest women of our generation for the second time, yeah. But so just one thing I wanted to highlight from what you said. There is that only in the darkest of times can you see the stars. Well, we're about to enter the darkest of times in American history, at least since the Civil War. So you know, be prepared for that. I know that's not what a lot of people want to hear. I apologize to you for telling you the truth, but that's the reality is the situation we're in. We're about to get facing. We'll have another podcast about just exactly how dark it's going to get. I'm going to dive into that in fairly specific detail for you, but you know I'm sure you're already down enough as it is. You'll save that for next time. Specific detail for you, but you know I'm sure you're already down enough as it is. We'll save that for next time Understatement.
Speaker 2:Dean. Yeah, but you know, just for comparison's sake, you could have had that. And here's a candidate. Oh God, I haven't seen this either. We got instead. This is the level of genius of the candidate who actually won the election. Yes, ordinarily unsurprising.
Speaker 4:And hopefully they'll be able to get these expensive computers going. The reason you use computers is to make time, so that it's like fast. You don't use them so that you have to come up with an answer three days later and that's a little scary when they say what are they doing. You use a computer because it calculates quickly and you use paper because you save costs. But the paper turns out to be much quicker than the computer. There's something wrong with that, so we don't like that.
Speaker 2:You use computers to make time. Yeah, thanks guys. You use computers to make time? Yeah, thanks guys. Um, appreciate you signing us up for four more years of that, that'll be exciting. I mean the guy from drip, basically you know, practice for his future job at mcdonald's or as a garbage man, considering he couldn couldn't handle McDonald's man there's too many buttons and shit Not qualified to do either.
Speaker 2:And yet he's going to be the president of the United States. And if you're wondering how we got there, well, I have the perfect encapsulation of the median voter in America, and it pretty much explains everything.
Speaker 6:And I like that. He didn't actually plan to ban abortion, he just brought it back to the States.
Speaker 2:All right. So this is the unfortunate situation that we're in in America, where, generally speaking, half the population is so dumb that they don't understand that there was no abortion ban whatsoever previously, at least up to the point of viability, and then at that point it was a decision made solely based on the health of the mother. And now in numerous states, including most of the former Confederates well, all of the confederate states minus maybe a couple, of access to abortion and health care in that regard is nearly impossible to get. So congratulations, uh, to, to all of the idiots.
Speaker 1:My cousin graduated from there and she got in and she doesn't. She doesn't.
Speaker 2:Well, she got in, but she clearly hasn't gotten her degree yet, otherwise you'd be at a point where she could understand the faulty logic there. But yes, so numerous states had abortion on the ballot. In terms of state constitutional amendments, a number of well, I think all of them in large part voted majority in favor of access to abortion rights. Florida had this quirky little kink where Republicans rigged those ballot measures in order to make sure they didn't pass by requiring a 60% minimum threshold. I think they reached something like 55%. 56% in Florida.
Speaker 2:So just short. Yes, 43% of the population ensured the lack of access to abortion rights in Florida. For all Floridians, that's like the total opposite of democracy. It's very similar to the filibuster in the Senate in that regard, but you don't have to worry about the filibuster in the Senate for much longer, because I'm absolutely sure Republicans are going to abolish that. The second. They take control of the Senate and the White House. Beyond, just beyond the disappointing fashion of which you know, American voters have shown themselves to be unreliable in making sound decisions. Here's a little taste of what you're going to get from future Trump administration staff. In this particular instance, RFK Jr. Oh geez.
Speaker 7:You say clearing out the corruption. In your terms, would that mean clearing out the top level federal service workers? That mean clearing out the top-level federal service workers.
Speaker 3:That Currently at the FDA and CDC, some categories I would say. What does that look like? Yeah, in some categories of workers, their entire departments, like the nutrition departments, that FDA that are, that have to go, that are are not doing their job. They're not protecting our kids. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it's got two or three? Would you eliminate any of the agencies? To eliminate the agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn't be doing that. But I can get the corruption out of the agencies. That's what I've been doing for 40 years. I've sued all those agencies. I have a PhD in corporate corruption and that's what I do. And once they're not corrupt, once Americans are getting good science and are allowed to make their own choices, they're going to get a lot of help.
Speaker 1:Great, we're going to let, but you make your own choice when you go to the fucking grocery store. I don't buy Fruit Loops well, congratulations, america.
Speaker 2:Now you've got a former hero and addict making choices about your health and he's going to fire and he's planning to fire everyone at the FDA. We're all going to die. And if you think that's absolutely moronic, I mean obviously I couldn't possibly disappoint you by showing you it's worse than you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 3:The vaccines were not going to protect against transmission, because I was actually reading the monkey studies, but you would not have told the FDA to block the authorization. I would have been honest with the American people and so you wouldn't have blocked it. I would have been honest with the American people, so you wouldn't have blocked it. I wouldn't have directly blocked it. I would have made sure that we had the best science and there was no effort to do that at that time.
Speaker 7:And if there was another pandemic that were to strike, why should the American public have confidence that you would allow a vaccine to be made available through the market, even if it's an emergency.
Speaker 3:Let me point this out. They should not have confidence in the people who are managing our pandemic. We have the worst record of any country in the world. So we had 16 percent of the COVID deaths in the United States of America. We only had 4.2% of the globe's population. So whatever we were doing in this country was the worst of every country in the world.
Speaker 2:So in order to do that, you say that is your former future health czar, telling you that the United States had the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world, and he will solve that by ensuring that we didn't get vaccines. We're all going to die, ty.
Speaker 1:We're all going to die my brain. I think I got his worm, or?
Speaker 7:what was left of it.
Speaker 2:Yes, we're going to have a hell czar whose brain was eaten by a worm, like something out of a scene from Dune it's. It's incredible, man. I just look, man. This is what the American people chose and this is the future we're all going to be subject to, and I hope that it's.
Speaker 1:They fucked around and now we have to find out.
Speaker 2:Yes, we're in the find out phase of the American experiment that we formerly called democracy, but it is what it is, because they were a single-issue voter, and that single issue revolved around the fate of Palestinians in this war in Gaza. Well, I have a little present for you.
Speaker 4:President, we will deport the foreign jihad sympathizers and we will deport them very quickly, and Hamas supporters will be gone. We will remove the jihadist sympathizers and Jew haters. We're going to remove the Jew haters who do nothing to help our country. They only want to destroy our country and we will never let the horrors of October 7th be repeated here on American soil. We will not let that happen. Unlike liberal Kamala, I will support Israel's right to win its war on terror. You will not let that happen. Unlike liberal Kamala, I will support Israel's right to win its war on terror. You have to support that. Got to win, Got to finish it all. And instead of pandering to the jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them. We will deport them very quickly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so everyone whose sole issue was free Palestine congratulations. You're going to be joining them in Gaza. It was nice knowing your buddy.
Speaker 1:Which he plans on letting Bibi wipe off the map. So thank God they have principles.
Speaker 2:Yep Sayonara to all you watermelons out there. It's unfortunate. I'm going to miss you guys. You guys were the worst thing that ever happened to the left. I hate you fuckers. Even though president biden was the only individual responsible for any sort of ceasefire between israel and hamas yeah, and trump stopped it and they ignored.
Speaker 1:See, that's the thing that kills me is that this information is information that was out there and they weren't even hiding shit. But Trump knew that his base, he could say something and then just put out a truth or tweet and say the exact opposite five minutes after he said out loud the opposite, and then they would go with that versus and it's it, it's. I'm just tired of them bullshitting devoted for him because he's racist, just like fucking you.
Speaker 2:That's it, yep I mean that's if ands are both out, it's no, that's it and, of course, jared kushner, future middle east peace czar, will create peace in the middle east, uh, by annihilating every Palestinian and turning Gaza into beachfront property and building condos on their graves.
Speaker 2:Yeah, congratulations, pat yourselves on the back, guys, you did it. So obviously, again dark times are ahead. Obviously, again dark times are ahead. I'm sure everyone listening to this podcast in all likelihood is extraordinarily downtrodden, and I can't blame you for that. If you want to give up on life, it's totally understandable. I won't try and stop you, but of course, we here on this podcast will not be giving up the fight. Obviously, you know Trump is going to do horrific things. Starting on day one, I imagine he will be organizing the National Guard, in some regard at least, from red states in order to round up numerous Hispanic, muslim, et cetera, people and having them placed in some sort of concentration camp style accommodations. I would imagine that's going to be horrifying for a lot of American people who didn't actually take him seriously. Well, you're going to quickly wake up to the consequences of your decisions to either vote for Trump or to not vote at all, and you know, just again, consequences of your actions.
Speaker 1:Elections have consequences and this one is going to be huge, not just for us but for the world. But if I can just have one wish, it is that mexico closes their border and bans ted cruz no more can't go.
Speaker 7:That would give me joy that would give me joy.
Speaker 1:Every single maga that likes to go go to Mexico for dental care after they vote for the people that deny them having dental care here. No, do they not realize that closing a border, that shit works both motherfucking ways? Do they not understand that those prescriptions they go over there to get for cheap, not understand that those prescriptions they go over there to get for cheap? And so, okay, you think that you're going to pop over there and get your birth control because you live on the border? If they, you know, ban it here. No bitch. No birth control for you.
Speaker 1:No, you know, since trump says that he wants to, uh, anybody that wants to come to this country. They have to pass a patriotism and ideological test. Well, I think the other countries should do the same. Who did you vote for Trump? Yeah, no, give them the Candace Owens treatment all day, every motherfucking day. Kick the motherfuckers out that are down there in Mexico City causing problems, going down there, ramping up the drug war and shit in in uh cancun because they're they're trying to buy cocaine. Then they got a drug turf war going on like just get, get, just get rid of them all. I mean, I love mexico to death, but I would gladly just to see them suffer.
Speaker 2:Right now I'm feeling that motherfucking petty oh, it is what it is, um so they're gonna need that dental care with no fluoride thank you, rfk jr.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're gonna make sure all of your supporters lose the rest of their teeth. Um, so, quick diagnostic here on what went wrong in the 2024 election for the, the harris campaign. I know a lot of people out there are going to be digging in the numbers and demographics in, like county by county changes from 2020 to 2024, and trying to come up with, you know, reasons why the Harris campaign failed or didn't reach a certain demographic of voters or why they are seemingly out of touch with the American electorate. They are not. Kamala Harris was a fantastic candidate. She ran an awesome campaign. She did not fail us, we failed her. And what? What really happened here? Just to sum it up in four quick points three of them I will I will handle myself. The fourth I will I will send over to Rachel Maddow for you.
Speaker 2:So first of all, white women. Of course, let us down again. They voted for Trump in a majority for the third straight election in a row, despite the fact that the Trump administration policies are obviously against their interest, or at least that's the way it seems on the surface. Of course, you know there's a point at which you have to understand that a majority of white women in this country are going to regularly choose whiteness over womanhood. So that was. That was one failure on their part. Also, latinos, generally speaking, are assuming that the racism won't come for them specifically, but they're fine. It's fine, it's okay if it's the other latino parts of the population or the afro latinos.
Speaker 1:uh, like, you know, like puerto ricans or this, you know the cubans and some of the you know mexicans. They think that they have a proximity to whiteness? Now, motherfucker, because they're gonna see your last name first and that's going to be all. They think that they have a proximity to whiteness? No, motherfucker, because they're going to see your last name first and that's going to be all they need, and they don't care about collateral damage. They don't care about. Oh well, you supported us, yeah, but we just can't take that chance.
Speaker 2:And if you think, because you're a naturalized citizen, that that's going to bail you out, I've got news for you Trump doesn't care whether you're a citizen or not and, with absolute immunity, there's nothing that can be done to stop him from sending you out of the country. So good luck to you. I'll be rooting for you out there in Mexico, colombia, wherever you'll end up. Good luck to you. And then, third and final well, at least on my part, third here. So there's a psychological hurdle that comes with people voting for someone they never voted before. And you took an extraordinarily successful presidential Well, extraordinarily successful president who won 81 million votes in America more than any other presidential candidate has ever gotten in the history of American elections and you stabbed him in the back and you kicked him off the ballot and there was absolutely no one that you could have replaced him with, especially three months before a presidential election that could have won this election, when people also have just like. There is a lack of friction when it comes to voting for someone you just previously voted for and Trump voters previously voted for, and Trump voters have voted for him in two previous elections and he was on the ballot, and they're just used to voting for Trump, and it's just. You know there's. It would be too much friction to not press the Trump button. On the other hand, for Democrats, we just voted for President Biden. A lot of people were expecting him to be on the ballot for three and a half years, no-transcript. All of a sudden just got massive votes go back to a woman.
Speaker 2:Similar performance is 2016. There's a pattern there. You don't have to look too deep into this. These are the things that happen. And then, of course, there's also the fact that in 2020, there were 81 million votes cast for President Biden, and in 2024, it looks as though Kamala Harris is going to get 10 or 11 million votes less than Donald Trump. We were supposedly going on pace for record turnout. I don't know where 13, 14, 15 million votes disappeared to. You can speculate about that if you'd like. I'm not a conspiracy theorist per se. I'm absolutely sure there was some foul play involved, just in terms of voter suppression, but that's nothing new. Republicans have been doing that for the past three elections, so you know who knows why that number was, why there's such a discrepancy with that number. But we'll have Rachel Maddow give you something to think about in terms of well, why this election might possibly have gone awry.
Speaker 6:Well, why this election might possibly have gone awry, and I like that he didn't actually plan to ban abortion.
Speaker 2:He just brought. Oops, that was the wrong video. Let me try that one more time.
Speaker 7:But let me also point out something more strange which has been happening at the same time and hasn't had as much attention. The day before Trump made those remarks on Friday, on Friday, he said you're never going to have to vote again after you vote for me this one time. The day before that, on Thursday last week, he didn't say that people wouldn't have to vote anymore once he was elected this November. Now, the day before that on Thursday, he told his supporters not that they're not going to have to vote again, but that they don't have to vote this time, that they don't need to vote for him this November.
Speaker 4:My instruction. We don't need the votes.
Speaker 7:I have so many votes. My instruction we don't need the votes. I have so many votes. He said that on Thursday last week and it turns out this is something when you look. He says this all the time now, but my instruction.
Speaker 4:We don't need the votes. I have so many votes, we don't need votes. I tell my people I don't need any votes. We got all the votes we need. I don't need votes. We don't need votes. We got more votes than anybody's ever had. You don't have to vote. Don't worry about voting, the voting we got plenty of votes.
Speaker 7:Don't worry about voting.
Speaker 4:Don't worry about voting.
Speaker 7:Of all the weirdness around this campaign, this is a truly strange thing to tell people right, don't vote, I don't need your vote, I don't want your vote. I mean all the surface level weirdness is, you know, worth noting. Having a new position on literally anything you can think of as soon as any random rich guy tells you to, that's a weird thing. Picking the eccentric billionaire's intern for your running mate, even though you apparently had no idea who he was or what a disaster he is on television, all of this is weird. But telling voters, do not bother to vote for me, it doesn't matter if you do, I don't need your votes that is a thing that should prick up your ears, because what that means is that he doesn't think he needs to win the vote to win the election. He doesn't think he needs to win the election in order to take power. He thinks something other than votes is going to determine whether or not he gets back in the White House so Rachel Maddow has a point there.
Speaker 2:in an election where we were projected to have record turnout and you know we were on pace to something close to 2020 with the early vote and record in-person voting somehow we ended up with nearly 12, 13, 14 million fewer votes than the 2020 election. I don't know how that's possible. You you can ask all the questions you want. I suggest you hop online if you voted in a swing state, and track your vote and see if it's been accepted or counted at this point. If you voted by mail early, that would be my suggestion, but we've got a couple of weeks here before elections are certified in these states to figure out what it is exactly that was going on there. But yes, it's extraordinarily strange that Donald Trump, for weeks and weeks, decided to tell his voters not to vote, that he already had the votes, he doesn't need any more votes Not that they wouldn't ever have to vote again, but specifically this election.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's true, yeah, so, yeah, ty, I'll uh, let you give us your closing thoughts yeah, um, because the republicans and maga, for the past four years, have just took the whole stolen election thing and and like, ran it over with a truck, buried it, dug it up, backed over it again, like it. It's not something we can really say in that way. And the lack of intelligence among so many people. It's like we tried to get them to understand when he would say these things, but the media would just not amplify it. They wouldn't say it in the real time.
Speaker 1:To where anything that we would try to say? Now they're like oh, where are you getting this from? Well, we've been saying this for like a year but because legacy media let us down. They were complicit. They wanted to Shane, shane, washed Trump, because they wanted to turn this into a race between two quote unquote normal candidates, when it wasn't so that they could drive ratings and oh, oh, it's a nail biter this, that or the other, and they would gloss over or just ignore all together these things that he was saying.
Speaker 1:That was putting us on alert that if people had had that knowledge and they would could sit back and say you know, a minute this motherfucker was saying this for this long and this, that and the other about the votes, and you know you only have to vote this one time and then to say, oh, we got the, which he started saying a while back, you know. So I don't know. I don't really know how we're going to combat this. But my main concern is that she inspired so many new voters. She inspired so many people and I feel like they are going to fall into the apathy category and they're not going to want to. It's like your first love to break your heart and you don't want to love again. I feel like this election is going to be that for them. So even when somebody comes around that inspires that again in them, they're going to hesitate and they're not going to want to take a bite of that apple again, which is what they wanted.
Speaker 1:They wanted to do that, which is what they've been doing to Black people for years. And Jeremy London had did a post and it really made me cry where he said he was in Mississippi, there were these three Black guys and he was like, yeah, either he was going or coming from voting for Kamala Harris and he goes, and they gave him a look like why are you voting why? But not because, like why are you voting for her? But why are you voting at at all? And that he could see in them just the that they had just given up, like what's the point? And that's what they have, and mississippi has the largest black voting population in the country, but that's what they have done to us for you and they were fine with that.
Speaker 2:yeah, if every black person in mississippi voted, and then the white population voted like the west rest of the country mississippi voted.
Speaker 1:And then the white population voted like the west rest of the country, mississippi would be a blue state it would be a blue state and louisiana too yeah because, louisiana, I was watching this tiktok and the guy that was talking, he was saying that because at first it came out gangbusters and then all of a sudden it just stagnated. And then all these republican voters and he goes there's still like 500 000 black folks that are eligible and they have not, that are registered and they haven't voted yet, you know. And so that breakdown of that mental fuckery is is what they've done. And so now how are? How are we going to get them?
Speaker 1:You know, these young people, because the older people, they, you know, they've been fighting forever but they're already facing so much. That's just been fucking them left and right in every aspect, from education to jobs, finances, the ability to own a home, move forward. Their health is in danger, reproductive rights being taken away, but kamala gave them hope that she could give that back to them and to see what we were up against. Like, are they going to fall into that category of those three black guys in Mississippi where they just are like what's the point? And that I know that. Well, what's the point is that was exactly the point of the Republicans. They wanted to take that so you don't ever find that fire again.
Speaker 2:They spent. Mississippi specifically spent so much time making it nearly impossible for Black people to vote that, even though they have the largest Black population, is one of the reddest states in terms of elected officials in the country. And now they've killed off people's will to show up to the polls and you know you give your rights away. It's nearly impossible to get them back. So what we've got coming for us in 2025 is going to be one of the most horrific experiences most Americans alive have ever seen. As we get further and further away from the civil rights era, the 50s and 60s, fewer people have seen the atrocities that this country has afflicted upon minorities and underrepresented groups like the LGBT community, the Jewish population. They stay extraordinarily close to their heritage and their predecessors' experiences in Europe from, you know, the last 90 years. They're slightly more in tune with that than you know. Unfortunately, some of us Black people are here in America, but especially far more in tune with what history could provide for us, should we choose to ignore all of the warning signs, than absolutely every white American here in the United States. But I got to tell you so just for a refresher.
Speaker 2:You know Hitler attempted a coup. You know the Beer Hall fire. It went poorly for him. He ended up getting convicted, received a five-year prison sentence. I think they let him out after nine months because they didn't take it seriously enough. And by the time, you know, 1933 came around, he had amassed enough support and power and a game plan based on his experiences from his first failed coup on how to take over the government by winning with a minority of the vote. And the Nazi party never looked back.
Speaker 2:Well, not until you know World War II, the massive extermination of the Jewish population in Europe. But you know people keep telling us that. You know that'll never happen in the United States. Well, at that point in time no one had ever considered the possibility of it happening in Germany. You know Germany was one of the youngest democracies in Europe and you see how horribly a riot went there, blaming immigrants and, you know underrepresented people for all of the country's problems. You know underrepresented people for all of the country's problems and blaming them for the economic turmoil in the country, even though largely the economic turmoil in 1920s and 30s Germany was being experienced by most of the world and not unlike this issue of inflation the world is dealing with now. And it was also largely in part due to just the allied powers from World War One not setting up Germany in a position to be economically sustainable, and that is just a recipe right for disaster. Even though Biden did his best in America, he's got a booming economy, job market numbers we've not seen in our lifetimes.
Speaker 2:People, just at this point, ignore facts and go with feelings, and Trump took advantage of that and now he's on a position to bring us into the Fourth Reich. So I know people don't take him seriously about his plan to deport people. You know, start the mass deportations on day one. He's absolutely going to do that. He's going to hollow out the Justice Department. You know Jack Smith at this point is looking at how to wrap up the criminal prosecutions against Donald Trump before he takes office in January. So he's not going to be held accountable for his attempt to overthrow the government, the stealing of classified information, even though Jack Smith revealed to us that he knew what Trump's motivation was. In that regard, it matters not. Because Trump won the election, the Supreme Court is likely not going to let him be sentenced to prison, regardless of what happens in New York here later in November. So he basically got away with shooting people in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he got more votes than he did the last time.
Speaker 2:And I know if you're watching this, you're probably downtrodden and distraught and you're wondering how we're going to survive the next four years. If we'll have the opportunity to win in 2028, I would say likely not, and that's if we're lucky enough to have an election in 2028. So what is there to do? I would say I hope that it's bad enough under the course of the Trump administration early enough that it wakes up a lot of Americans so that we decide to just have him removed from office in this nightmare. And hopefully it's bad enough, but not so bad, that we don't completely lose our democracy before Trump is out of office. We're going to be here fighting to make sure that doesn't happen every day. You can't rely on the mainstream media at this point. You've seen what they've done over the past decade to enable them and see what they're doing now after the election absolutely.
Speaker 2:They're absolutely normalizing.
Speaker 1:They're taking no responsibility.
Speaker 2:None whatsoever, pointing the blame at everyone but themselves. So you can't rely on the mainstream media to protect you. They've already decided they're going to roll over and give up. So you have to support your independent media at this point. There's us here on part of the insurrection. There's my guy, tony Michaels. There's the Minus Touch Network my boys over there Shout out to Ben. There's the Moleshe Road Network. Shout out to AG Go, subscribe to all of your people that are out here fighting the good fight and doing it with the least amount of financial support.
Speaker 2:We don't have billions of dollars behind us, like you know, msnbc or the Washington Post or the New York Times but at the very least we come here, we try and give you the facts, we try and tell you the truth, we try not to sugarcoat it, but we try to make it digestible for you in every way possible, and we're going to continue to do that, digestible for you in every way possible, and we're going to continue to do that until Trump is sworn in and even beyond. And look, trump doesn't plan ahead, he's impulsive, he's extraordinarily stupid. So of course he's going to make some mistakes and there will be an opportunity to capitalize on them if we're already unprepared, and we plan to be in that position. As long as you help us do that, make sure you share this podcast with your friends. Subscribe to us on your you know, your audio services.

Speaker 1:I'm not going anywhere until I'm taken away and put in a potato sack. So I will be here because I I don't feel we have a choice at this point?
Speaker 1:we absolutely don't. We don't. We absolutely don't, because right now I am fighting for my lgbtq plus daughter's survival. I'm fighting for Christopher's survival. I am fighting for my own and I will do everything I can until the fucking day I croak I hope it's later rather than sooner. Rest in peace, knowing that my children have a chance at a better future and are going to be safe in this country. You know, I, I, just I really I'm not gonna say I don't know if saying that like I'm more fired up than ever is the right way, but it really has. Like I, I don't know, I, I I called resolve.
Speaker 1:Ty, you have resolve I need closure, man, I need closure, I need, I need, I don't know, you know we're gonna get it.
Speaker 2:And if it's any consolation to you all out there, he's going to die within our lif. If it's any consolation to you all out there, he's going to die within our lifetimes. No-transcript.
