One , two , three , four . There's a reason for fake rhymes with fake . He was always there to be , you know , a Jill Stein disrupter type and all of the people like , ooh , third party Only to vote for anybody but Jenny .
And here let us not forget that he went on a minor a minority , like scholarship that the Soros has set up , and while he was making recorders of a million dollars , you know .
I haven't ever been paid by Soros , by the way .
His wife was going around to Iowa voters , like I'm gonna stop for my husband . And so she goes . And then she's like so what is it that you think about my husband ? Why aren't you gonna vote for my husband ? And you know , looking for that honesty to show him that she's really just a down-the-earth gal . You know , like them and they go .
One One person said that he was too brown and then others were saying that they thought he was Muslim , because I guess only I guess if you're a brown person , you have to be Muslim because India's in the Middle East . So there you go . Okay , well , the most Wait .
The most noteworthy response that I heard as to why they weren't going to vote for Vivek in the Republican primary is that because he was brown and because of his name and the fact that they were still sore over 9-11 .
What ? Oh my God , like I mean , I'm not a fan of his , but Jesus Christ .
Yeah , right , yeah , there's still about 9-11 .
No , just because they have him compli . I mean , they're just , they're racially profiling , badly yeah .
Yes , so I mean , if you're not familiar with it at this point , which is entirely possible because the media has failed us most of the attackers on 9-11 were Saudis , so yeah , which is very different than being from India .
Listen , I watched an interview today .
Vivek was born in America . So I feel like that's some absolution for sure .
But if not , even if you're Black , no , it's easier for them to say all brown people are the same . Come on .
Like a lazy-ass white cracker , just ridiculous , uneducated it's embarrassing .
It's an embarrassing horror . I mean . It's just an extra terrible time to be a white person right now is because yes , you're embarrassed by all of your crow hordes .
I'm sorry .
Secondhand embarrassment .
I get it Tara I get it .
There is a woman that I found on TikTok a little bit ago , a Black woman who , like she was just , I was just scrolling and she was like , can I have a conversation with white women for just one moment ? Can you all maybe like , start wearing a pin to let us know if you're okay with us ?
Can we like , can you Something on your lapel , maybe , or something , let us know that we're cool , because we're just ? We got to know where the good ones are at and we got to be able to know right away .
Well , that's totally fair . Let's be a little careful with that , because that's getting . We'll eventually get to the point where someone's going to force us to start wearing those yellow stars on our arm .
I mean , right , it's more like the Mickey Mouse Club , like you get a little pin with Mickey Mouse and say I'm part of the club , or like if you're in the little bar corral you could buy a t-shirt and more like , just like to let us know that we're cool with each other in a way where it's like , and I was like well , and for me .
First of all , you know , I was grateful for her to open up that conversation , because I think if you're going to have that conversation , it should come from a Black woman , as , instead of a white woman going , is there a way I can let you know that I'm okay with you without looking like a Karen ?
So you know , because , again , you never want to overstep and you always want to make sure people are understanding that you're here to elevate and appreciate and not appropriate , but you also don't want to fall over yourself and being like come on , guys , I'm one of the good ones , so you know .
And so that's and I think that's a lot of the reason why white women are afraid to speak out on behalf of Black women , because they don't want to look like they're pandering , they don't want to look like they're trying to .
They don't want to look like they're trying too hard or that they're kind of patronizing these women and not giving them like how it would be seen and how to . I would just say I don't know .
just you know , don't be racist , you know Well , yeah , I mean you can start by just not being racist . But the whole point is , letting a Black woman know that she's fully seen is not difficult . All you have to do is look at her and smile Exactly .
you don't need a lapel pin .
No , and I don't . I mean , I can walk around with my shirt , that with my , you know , thank a Black woman today . You know , I can walk around with the shirts .
I disagree . I think , now that we've like elucidated on this topic , you should wear a lapel pin .
Would you like to help design it ? Because what should it look like ? What should it say I'm white folks . No , I don't know , I'm folks , not people . I mean because there's a difference .
That's a good one Like that one . See that one's like a reversed dog whistle right . Like the white people wouldn't get it , but the Black people would .
Right , and the white folks would get it too .
Yeah , exactly . So if I just had a pin that said I'm folks , I'm folks , not people .
I wouldn't even have to say not people , I would just be like I'm folks . Would that be the kind of pin I mean again , again , not trying to overstep or appropriate , but if it was asked of me . I would be like well , what should it be ?
That's a good idea .
I was just thinking , letting me know , like , just if I'm in a store and I see a woman who's bagged like I like her bag , or I like her earrings , or you know , I always compliment women and that comes from my years of working in the service industry , working as a restaurant host I would always compliment the woman at the front desk .
You know just part of the deal . And it's just natural for me if I'm shopping oh , I like that bag , I like those shoes .
I mean , do women like when you notice they're like a Kutcher mall ?
They do because women don't compliment each other out in the real world very much .
Really .
We don't and I think Ty can probably back this up because we just don't , we don't engage each other in that much , in that kind of conversation as much anymore .
But if I see and I live in Portland where people wear some funky things , okay , people express themselves , they're not shy , okay , and I will see people will dress like a pirate and will have nothing to do with Halloween or dress like a pirate day , they just will .
So you will see people in all kinds of outfits here that they are turning it out in any way . And so to me , if I see a cute someone carrying a cute person like I love that bag , I love your shoes , and women appreciate those compliments , because we do not get enough compliments .
That because in this culture , of course , everyone's so worried about saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time . But I think women have a lot of leeway here and we can compliment each other just like on hey , I love your sweater .
Oh , thank you , I got it at Target or whatever you know , and it's as easy as that to let another human being know that you're okay with that .
That you're an ally , like I've had women that you know have come up to me and they'll say things I'm wrong and I was appreciated , you know , and I know that that is their way of letting me know that they're an ally . Yeah , that's fine . You don't really have to do more than that . Like you said , just smile .
Yeah , I'm on the grocery aisle and there was a woman at Walmart and we were getting tomatoes , david and I , and they were I forgot how much a pound , but they were like the vine , and it was supposed to be six tomatoes , somebody , I don't know what they were doing , but tomatoes were missing in all the bags .
And so this lady went to grab a bag and , not paying attention , and I just went up and I go no , don't get those . I said because if you see , these are missing , this is what it that there was like one left and I was like here you go . And she was like , oh my God , thank you so much . I never would have noticed and it was just .
But she could tell , like just someone being friendly , and probably she maybe has never had an actual interaction with a black woman , and especially here in El Paso . No , you know it . Just , she was just a smiley after that , oh really , like it was just over fucking tomatoes .
But it's really not hard to make someone's day and it doesn't always have to be a giant gesture and it's easy . It's easy and I'll say no one is expecting a compliment . I mean , even if a woman knows that she's looking good , she's not expecting another woman to acknowledge that .
Because I don't know if you know this , my friend , but this society has set up women to be competing against each other for bullshit men reasons .
Yes , I'm so sorry , and so what we should be Our societal norms have , like , pitted women against each other and I apologize on behalf of all men . We be fucking- .
Yeah , I mean . It's just they've tried to make all of our lives a competition .
When it's supposed to be , we're supposed to be here , yeah , like we're the fucking highlander and there can be only one .
That is , you know , and it's the older I get the less tolerance I have for people trying to pit each other against each other for competition , for sport .
You know like we're supposed to be , like in the ring , boxing each other all the time , and not to sound like the Barbie movie , but like that's not what we're here for , right and all of the expectations that are on women . We absolutely need to be like hey , I like those earrings . Hey , your bag is really cute .
And then you keep so simple and even if I don't like them , you know , even if I don't Always something though like I would I will say it though .
I will say it even if I was like , oh my gosh , I love that bag .
Yeah , they're cute , or even if they are hideous . You know , there is something that there's always- .
Because it's nice to hear yeah .
You know what I mean it is .
Well , I have a different perspective on this from a guy . Well , you're a dude . Yeah , I don't like- .
Now , we're talking about how women can speak to each other and women can create conversations with each other in a society that doesn't want us to right .
Yeah , I'm more careful about handing out compliments to random strangers just because , like you know , I don't want it to be interpreted as like I'm hitting on you .
you know , unless I'm hitting on you , that's the other thing that we all have to be careful of , especially me in Portland , when everyone thinks I'm a lesbian because I look like this So- .
You know , let your hair grow out , solve that problem , yeah .
Well , I could make my mother really happy and put on a shit ton of makeup every single time I leave the house . You look fine . Oh well , thank you . I'm glad no one can actually see us . They can just hear us .
Oh yeah , I forgot Audio medium only . We do this every week .
Shit , Anyway , anyway . Anyway , Trump is a racist and a rapist . Back to the topics at hand .
She is a hella rapist .
And I don't know . We're in the , we're in the middle of this . This E Jean Carroll , trial round two , and he just , he cannot stop defaming her . Well technically .
Technically , it's actually round one . This is the original lawsuit from the time where Trump was president , so it's in all likelihood given the add and even bigger bully pulpit than he did at the time of the second defamation post presidency .
He's probably going to get hammered for a significant amount of money in this particular instance , and not just because he had the bigger bully pulpit , but also because his legal representation is a disaster .
Oh my God , she's so stupid . Ok so not too pretty for prison . Oh , by the way , we have a nickname for her that I came up with , that I'm very proud of . Well , let's tell the listeners who her is . We're talking about Alina Habba .
Yes , one former garage lawyer .
And I call her Habba the Jutt Because she's had all that plastic surgery and she's got the duct lips . It's like half her , half her face is Ivanka and the other half her face is Kim Guilfoyle .
That is the best thing . Did you see ?
that old picture of her .
Like that original used to be like a normal person and she actually looks like a lawyer , which you know .
Kim Kim Guilfoyle when Kim was married to Habba Habba Gavin .
Newsom , oh man and her studly news so she's really pretty .
She was really pretty and normal looking , and now of course , she looks the way she looks , and so Alina Habba can't decide if she's supposed to look like Ivanka , melania or Kimberly , so she looks like all of them , yes .
But what's her attention to her hair ? She puts her attention and then the next day her hair is like over here , and then it's like no hair .
It's the duct lips that are killing me . Do you even know ?
Do you even know why Alina Habba is representing him in this case ?
Because there's no one left .
Well , yes , part of the problem is that , even though she's super unqualified , regardless of how much Trump is paying her , not Well , his previous lawyer who represented him and the other , e Jean Carroll suit , who , like , despite what you may think of his competence or his demeanor , you know and all , it seems as though he did a fantastic job , and even though
Trump was found liable for defamation , in that case , of getting the damages down to only five million dollars I can't even say it , only five million dollars , but yes .
Joe back up though .
Joey Takapina .
Takapina's Dapioca , dapioca .
That's like . I refer to him as Fony Soprano . That's a good one .
That was a good one .
Yeah , so Trump threw him on under the bus last week and does he quit . Yeah Well , yep , they had a little falling out and I totally understand Fony Soprano . He got his little dollars in . He did a pretty good job of representing Trump he actually used to be a decent lawyer .
I mean , the guy was at Rap .
No , no , no , no , no , no . I mean , he was representing .
A$AP Rocky and like rappers and stuff . Yes , he didn't used to be a decent lawyer .
He is a decent lawyer and you can again , you can tell that because by the time we get to the end of this first that's now second E , jean Carroll trial you're going to see somewhere in the range of fifty to one hundred million dollars in damages . I should have hoped that when only resulted in five million .
You're going to be like oh , joey Taka , peter's fucking fantastic . He might be the only competent lawyer on Trump's legal team at this point .
Well , chris Kuhay is not the worst . I mean , the guy did represent Maduro administration , his registered for foreign agent and he made Trump pay him up front . He was the smartest Because he made Trump give him a $3 million retainer .
That's your grifted MAGA dollars at work . Friends , your grifted MAGA dollars are paying Trump's legal fees . I hope you're happy .
If you're a Republican donor and you're like , hey , you know , I want to support Trump , I want to keep him out of jail , I'm sending him , you know , my hard earned money , that's one thing .
But like when you look at the quality of his legal representation and you've got Alina Habba out here , not knowing like basic rules of evidence , like how does that make you feel about where your dollars are going ?
Like it doesn't matter , she's , she's got a great rack .
Well , she's like asking the judge for like a break so she can look like Google how to try a lawyer .
She's like I don't like to be spoken to like that , Like he didn't think the judge was like basically , like I don't fucking care what you like .
What were those videos from Sarah Cooper ? What was the first ? Was it like how to medical ? Like Alina Habba's out here , like scrolling through fucking TikTok videos trying to figure out how to try a lawyer ? It's incredible , I don't know I object .
You can't do that with this , or what he was like .
Yeah , she was like trying to get the trial , trying to get the trial dismissed or file some kind of weird ass emotion .
Wanted to miss trial because he was the judge's biased against Trump and he's like no , he's like yeah , no , that's not happening , that's not gonna happen . Nope , I've already said that's not happening and I will give it to Judge .
Kaplan because he does not have the patience and he is not giving any fucks , like Judge Ingaran has been giving Trump some passes . Judge Kaplan is like sit down and shut up and I love how Mayo did that tweet , but she's like by the end of this , alina Habba may be finally housebroken . She's already been taught to sit down and shut up .
I keep training her . I laughed so hard .
at that I laughed .
I want to know why she wants to go to prison for Trump so badly Like . Why , Well ?
look , all of his lawyers are gonna come in handy if she does .
I mean seriously . She and Marge can make toilet wine together with Sidney and Jenna .
I mean you joke about that , but look at the number of Trump's lawyers who've currently been indicted .
Hello , rudy Giuliani is fucking bankrupt a billion times over thanks to him harassing Shay and Ruby , but your average moggo still thinks that Donald Trump is completely innocent .
I had literally a person the other day and it was a real person , or at least someone who was capable of getting themselves a blue check mark said that it was a perfect , tried the perfect phone call thing and said everything like Fonny Willis is having an affair and she's doing all of this crazy stuff and she's going after Trump and I'm just like I wonder why
you're going after the black woman who can end Donald Trump's career . All of this and I was like , please explain to me how it's Fonny Willis' fault or my fault or any Democrat's fault that Donald Trump picked up a phone and called Brad Raffensperger and tried to bully him into finding 11,780 votes . Nobody put , nobody made Donald Trump do that .
It's not like somebody from the Joe Biden campaign and went into Donald Trump's office and said , okay , now you're going to call the Georgia Secretary of State and make it look worse for you . That's not . We don't do that .
So you know when they when they're trying to and they're trying to tell me that it was a perfect phone call and he had every right to call the Georgia Secretary of State .
Because of the First Amendment , because this political genius , who clearly studied Polly Psi at Trump University , was saying that he could do that and I was like , well , actually , no , we can't , because you can't call up a government official and bully them and threaten them into helping you overturn the results of a legitimate election .
It's not even the only recording of a Trump phone call to an election official trying to get them to overthrow it , like it's not even the only one he was calling everyone . He like we literally got the . Michigan phone call . Just a couple like what was it a month ago ? Does anyone even remember that Did the news report ?
He was calling the fake electors saying he better do this , you better do . They have him on tape doing all of this stuff and everyone just like blows it off because nothing fucking sticks to this guy . But and his enablers , who ?
You know , the minions who are still on Twitter , it doesn't matter how much truth we show them , because you can say a jury found Donald Trump liable of rape , and they're like no , like well , how come he hasn't been convicted ? You know , paul , it's a civil trial and in a civil trial the decision is given out like this .
And then they don't want to believe you because , well , he didn't rape her . And it's like well , you know , the reason she said she wasn't sure is because she couldn't tell of what she was being penetrated .
Hey , there's a child present .
Oh , I'm sorry .
Okay , now go I'm just going .
No , I'm sorry , I'm not watching what's going on in Ty's kitchen , except Ty has made herself a delicious looking dinner .
But yeah , behind the scenes here . So Ty's child was in the background and and Tara was talking about .
I just was gone , was you know , explaining how E Jean was testifying she ? She wasn't sure if what was penetrating her was a finger or another tiny , ridiculous appendage , because it was so small . It's still enforceable and it was still rape . And if you want to make , if you want to try to excuse him by saying sexual assault , that's still rape .
It's still a violent sexual act against a woman .
Why are you making ?
excuses for him .
It's a brutal hand , but still rape . You may not have stuck your peanuts in there , but you violated the sanctity of there . You know it's right .
It's right , yes . Well , here's the way I said no , she fought back , she did not want you on her .
Yeah . Well here's the way I try to look at it , right ? So I , you know guys typical argument about you know what they perceive rape to be is like I would love if , like some woman kind of harassed me in a sexual way , especially if she was a tractive and I'm like you have to stop . You have to stop thinking about it in those terms .
Right , think about it in terms of like you're straight .
She said people think rape is sexy .
No , no , no .
That was her point .
Before we get to that , just like you know , if you're a guy , think about it in terms of , like you're straight and there's a dude trying to insert something into you in a way that you're not like , that's what it's like for a woman , like , just because a woman might be interested in sex with someone she's attracted to or in a consensual sexual relationship with
, that doesn't mean she wants to be penetrated by some guy that she's not interested in , and it's basically the same thing . If you're a guy , like , you don't want some dude trying , like , think about what a guy would have to go through to like get you in a position to be interested in sex with him .
If you're a straight guy , well , I mean , it's like that . Like you don't want to end man , they're so disappointing and I'm tired of arguing with him .
And then the other thing to remember is that it's not really about sex . It's about control , it's about violence , it's about humiliation , it's about degradation , it's about having power over the other person and so Donald Trump uses all of that to bully and intimidate , and there are people who fall for it . There are people who are afraid of him .
There are people who are intimidated by him . I don't understand those people , because they're weak and spineless and worthless . I'm not afraid of him . We all know this already . He blocked me on Twitter in 2015 and never unblocked me Congratulations .
Yeah , no .
And he never unblocked me and , like today , john Cooper tweeted what's your favorite nickname for Donald Trump ? And I wrote back my bitch , because I have the block , my screenshot of the block . He's my bitch . He's what a fucking coward . He's afraid of some lady on Twitter . Yeah , what a great leader . What a great leader .
All he wants you know women for him are . He has no consideration for women whatsoever and he has a history of this right and he has history of violence against women . He has a history of raping underage I mean he has a history of raping teenage girls with Jeffrey Epstein . He flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane way more times than we originally knew .
I think what John Ford was 74 . They were trying to hide him , like us , but so yeah , they was trying to get them to change the flight log so that his name didn't show up as often .
So well , I think the indicator , I think the key indicator I've gotten of where his respect for women is is Embarrying his wife when she was taking and he couldn't even look at her .
Well , that wasn't great , but yeah no , the coward the key indicator I've discovered of like where his respect for women is is when he buried his ex-wife at his golf course . Oh my God , Are you kidding ? No , I'm not kidding . I mean everything on the live . They're downstairs in Bedminster . And then he didn't mow the grass .
Nope yeah .
You know she had three damn kids . You know I'd be like , you know I'd go mow her grass Like those kids are .
Yeah , you say like one of the kids would go trim the fucking bushes around her .
No , and look , I'm not saying you can bury your , your family members wherever the fuck you want to put like clearly , this is not only done to be disrespectful to the mother of his kids , but the fact that he used it as an opportunity to get like a small discount on his fucking taxes is just .
That's disgusting . The fact that he probably buried a bunch of stolen documents in there with her .
I will know the documents are probably in Russia as we speak .
Well , but here's the thing we all remember her funeral and we all remember the Paul bearers carrying her coffin out . None of those Paul bearers were her children , by the way .
Yeah , none of her .
Her sons did not help carry her coffin . It was a bunch of like really burly Russian bodyguard type looking dudes . Oh , and they're . They seem to be struggling under the weight of the coffin and she was like this tiny bird woman . She like wait , she was not a big woman , ivana Trump , and so they're struggling under the weight .
None of them are related to her . And then we find out later he stole documents and hid them at Mar-a-Lago . Why wouldn't he do it at his other country ?
So here's the real kicker about that whole funeral possession or procession with the stocky individuals carrying her casket . Wasn't she cremated ?
That's what we were . That's , I believe , the assumption . I don't know that it's ever been verified , but even if she was , then you don't need a giant coffin . And I tweeted about him . People are like no , there are people who bury . They bury ashes or they bury cremains . Maybe they don't do it in a coffin like that .
Maybe they spread their ashes or they keep an urn in the house or they have a burial site , but then they put something . Who cares what people do ? I don't think she's in there .
Well , I'm just saying she's in there .
She's not in there alone . They did some light reading . They were like here's some room to do while you're under , while we're teeing off steps away from you over here on the floor .
You know she won't be bored in her downtime .
Correct , like she's just flipping . There's some just government secrets , just some just some things that Trump stole from the White House , that the government still can't account for . They just don't know where they are . I say exhume that , that burial site and find out what's in there .
It's just incredible because we I mean , it's only been a month , we will never know , but she is not in there alone . They did . They had like 12 people carrying that coffin .
I've been . I've been a bear at a funeral and I've grabbed I've like , helped carry an empty casket . Two people can carry an empty casket .
That's my point .
Yeah , there you go .
You did not . There is something else in there beside that woman , whatever remains of her body , however they . However , she came to her final resting place , whether she has been cremated or it's written she again . There are file boxes in there with her . I believe that . I I just believe that and I know that sounds cuckoo .
But listen to who we're talking about and think about how he stashed government secrets at Mar-a-Lago in the bathroom by the toilet . Oh with the syphilis hands . Well , here's the Maybe he didn't have the syphilis hands back then , but he still stored stolen government documents in the toilet by the toilet .
Well , the crazy thing about that picture of the documents that he was stashing in Mar-a-Lago it wasn't that they were stored in the bathroom , it was that like if you look really closely , like above the shower curtain , you could see like the lids of boxes like hanging over the top close to the ceiling . You're like , oh , he stacked them up in the shower .
That's fucking bananas , all right .
So Trash , florida , trash Florida , trash .
All right , so and on to our shithole of the week award before we get out of here . I hear about and I hate to do this because I typically am such a fan and I love her largely but I don't know what's going on with MSNBC here lately .
It feels like ever since they made that deal to have Trump come on on , meet the press or whatever the fuck with Kristen Welker and engage in an hour long shit show , lost their minds . But , joy Reed , you got to stop having these fuckers on here to bash Biden you out of control . You out of control , you . I love you yeah .
I'm so angry because , after a question , welker's shameful interview With what's her face , stefanic .
Trashy , stefanic . Yeah , I was like .
MSNBC I consider to have some of the strongest female hosts Joy Reed , nicole Waller . I think they have some great women and I go when I look at Kristen Welker , in my mind I'm like this is what people think when they say like somebody's a diversity , hire , like because she is not even in their league at all and they are so incredible .
I really I love her and Rachel Maddow , and so when I'm like , then you have Kristen Welker and you know she's black . She got this and I go that's a diversity , hire to me because she wasn't hired because she is a strong journalist .
Because when you've got those women and the way they call bullshit out , and then you see her , it's like so why did they hire her ? Like why ? And then I go that's it . You hired her just to show you know . But she does not . She can't hold a candle to those women Like they run circles around her .
So I don't know , maybe Joy Reed feels like I'm the outspoken black woman If I want to have a job . I got to carry these folks water for a minute , I don't know what , because I don't see Rachel Maddow cowering to that and I don't see Nicole Wallace and it goes and it's really .
Well , here's the thing .
So when they had Trump on for Welkers , like meet the press debut , and Trump said all that crazy shit and they didn't fact check it , and then the next day everyone on the network just pretended like it never happened , I was like , oh , something's wrong here , because even even Maddow didn't bring it up and I'm like this is a disaster .
And you know , after again , after firing Tiffany Cross , I was like all right , something's going on . I liked her a lot too . I don't know , yeah , I don't know what's going on . What I imagine and look , this is , this is just reckless spec , reckless speculation . I like we don't have a sounder .
But what I think has happened is all of these major news networks . You know the board members have probably gotten together , held a meeting and they're like , hmm , what happens if Trump does win ? He's going to come after all of us .
So I think they've made this decision to try and shift to the right out of self preservation , just not understanding that it doesn't matter . Like you know , fox News has been incredibly loyal to Donald Trump and he's thrown them under the bus . So what do you think he's going to do ?
Going to do to you guys Like there is no shift far enough right to spare you from his wrath Should he ever become president . And that's why , joy Reid , after this debacle of a week of having this nonsense on here , charlemagne and Angela , just get , get the fuck out of here .
You are here by award of the shithole of the week award Before we get out of here . Closing thoughts Ty , I'll let you go first , as per the usual , if there's anything you feel like you need to express here .
Well , you know , I want to say that I really do not appreciate what Angela Rye and Charlemagne are out here doing .
They are doing . That was our shithole of the week award . You can't let it go .
No , I can't , and what I'm saying is like I just I'm talking about them in general . What they're doing and it's making it's turning into an everyday thing .
They may as well , just you know , be freaking newsmax or something , or you know , or Fox News , because I don't know , they should know , because they're not stupid people of what is at stake , what is at stake for all of us . Do they really think that they're going to be given any grace ?
Do they really think that they are going to escape when the police , when we have military out here on our streets to do what the police have already been doing , but now they've got the backing of the federal government , you know , so you can hold against like an , and always talking about the 94 crime bill , and I get it . It was a mistake .
However , we are in 20 , 20 .
Hold on , I can't let you just throw the crime bill out there . Like you got to go back in time , like at the time and I remember it because , like my parents didn't really talk about politics that much , at least not in front of me but one of the things they did talk about was that crime bill .
Because they were like , yeah , we want to clean up our streets too . Like a lot of black people were like , yeah , the crime bill is fucking awesome . Now , of course , they were like well , I mean , I've got my .
I have my issues up , you know with it . But if you have to , is that is your . You know you have to go back 30 , 40 years to pull out something or reason that you don't like somebody , and they're always . What are Democrats doing for black people ? My retort is what are they not doing that you want to see ?
Because when they're out here passing bills that are feeding hungry children , these children that are home and school , what percentage of those are black and brown children that are going to go without that child credit ? Who did it help the most ?
What they're trying to do to , you know , codify and solidify and guarantee access to the ballot for communities of color . I go , they are not . You know , every bill doesn't have to say this is for black folks only . They are passing bills that affect the black community .
You know , disproportionately , in that we make up the bulk of those that have had their voices taken away , their , their wages suppressed , and they are passing those . So it's like if you don't see that , then you just are choosing not to .
We got to put you on Joy Reid show . All right , Sarah . Closing thoughts go .
I don't know how I'm supposed to follow that now .
I think you can . I think you can handle this .
I have faith in you . I would like all of us who are still on Twitter to remember that there are more of us than Moga people and I know it seems like it that's not the case but remember that the bulk of American voters are actually not on Twitter with us .
And so , when we're talking about the things that are really , really important , which is , the truthful things because , again , what , what do they have on the right except lies and propaganda and projection and goalposts moving and bullshit , and they have an embarrassing criminal rapist with 91 other charges against him will be in court for the rest of the year and
beyond I want everyone to focus on telling the truth , just over and over again , because the way they like like we were saying earlier about Donald Trump was already talking about the New Hampshire primary being rigged and how he did that with the 2020 election , and for months , he was talking about it's rigged .
It's a rigged election , and the repetition is what got people believing it , even if it wasn't true . So we we have to be louder , and if we have to keep repeating the truth , then then do so . And so there's two hashtags that that I'd like people to use when we're talking about this , and one is louder than Moga .
Because it matters that we're louder than them ? Because they just think if you're loud that means you're right , and that's not true . We have to be louder . And then the other one is the resistance 2024 , because 2016 is coming back and it's it's not better than ever , it's it's just 2016 again . There's still . They're still using that stupid fucking green frog .
So you know .
I call him pee pee . Now he's not Pepe .
He's pee pee now , because we know I saw a billboard for a dentist in Texas and like the small town in Texas and it was a billboard for a dentist and Pepe with the and I was like I am never driving across this state again , I don't feel safe . I'm so sorry you gotta move .
So , anyway , so what I ? What I would say is there are , believe me , if you are listening to us , there are good people who are out here working to make sure that we don't get steamrolled by these fucking losers who are lying , and it has to be really like we cannot be intimidated by their tactics because they're weak .
We just have to be louder and we have to just not let them silence us . And the reason that they're doing what they're doing is because they know they can't win . Scared people behave the way that they're behaving . They're scared . They're not confident .
Confident people don't have to do all of this crazy smoke screening and crazy and yelling and screaming and all of the stuff that they do . Confident people act like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because they are confident in their abilities and what they do . Democrats don't have to grandstand .
Sometimes people even think Democrats are boring just cause Democrats get their jobs done . And the abnormalcy in our politics has now created this race cycle where , if you're not like at living a threat level midnight , something's wrong . No , you're actually supposed to be just like , really relaxed and living life .
Hö , that's what Joe Biden is trying to do for you , but Donald Trump is getting in his way . So that's you know . Just keep saying the truthful things . Joe Biden is doing an amazing job .
Things are he's doing a better job than it , like every Democratic president before him , and we always have the truth on our side and it may not be the most exciting truth , but it matters . It always matters . The truth always matters and we have to say it louder and we have to also demand it of people .
If you're , we're mad about the people , the way people at MSNBC are talking . Ari Melbert cares more about dropping rap lyrics than anything else or whatever he's doing .
I've got something for Ari Melbert .
Go tell them .
Yeah , you know . Hey , it's like Biggie says , shut the fuck up , why don't you , why don't you ? Just , I don't care . No one wants to hear it from you , ari . They want to hear what Biggie says . To listen to Biggie it's not . They don't want to . They don't want it delivered from you .
I will admit like the rap lyric stuff was cool until like he started having Republicans on there and letting them spot their bullshit . Now I'm just I'm totally off .
Just all of it . Challenge it . We that we it's all right , we're on social media . We have this ability . It doesn't matter if they don't respond to us . Make yourself visible . Make yourself visible and say I'll go to Joy and be like Joy . I don't like that . You had Charlemagne on here . I don't like that . You're talking shit about Joe Biden .
He's doing an amazing job . Why aren't you ? Why aren't you telling the truth about Joe Biden ? I mean , eventually , people are going to see the challenging questions and they're going to start asking why we're asking those questions is my hope .
I mean , that's the best of what we can do until I get a job writing about politics again , where people are paying me to write about politics , it's up to us , as the collective , to get the truth out .
I think we're going to do a good job of that over the course of 2024 .
Just , hanging in there with us . I'm going to try , I'm going to do my part .
Same . All right , as for my closing thoughts , I'm going to regale you with the saga of train with Tish from Twitter a few weeks ago .
I responded to her today .
Yes , earlier in January , she posted a tweet with the . It's like a selfie picture with her dad in the background in a hospital bed , where she says hey , my dad says go fuck yourselves to all the mask lunatics . That was like January 3rd or something .
Since then , we've had an update where she's posting a picture of her self with her dad from a previous time earlier in his life , saying that you made me who I am today , taught me to fight for my beliefs , to be strong and to never quit . I know how proud you were of me over the past few years . I got this dad .
You're in such a much better place now . Can't wait to see you again . Meaning that he died of the COVID . So the lesson here and I just want to explain , like the people listening to this I'm sure you're 100% on board with like get your vaccinations . You know , wear a mask when the shit is going around and people are getting sick .
Do your best to not be a victim of your own demise , the way Republicans are , because this is just a common theme . You know , republicans , conservative quote , unquote conservative voters sacrificing themselves to the altar of their orange moron of a God for absolutely no reason , when they could just make common sense , rational decisions .
But conservatives are aren't the only people that are out here making these , you know , uninformed , unintelligent , irrational decisions like normal people are fucking morons to Don't be one of those . But I'd also like to use this opportunity to just to get you have a tale of just what it is to just follow these people blindly , and where it can get you .
Go back to the year of 2020 , it's the middle of the COVID pandemic and Trump is on TV telling you to do asinine shit like inject yourself with bleach . Obviously , no one's that stupid . Hopefully , I don't know . There's probably going to be like a tick tock bleach challenge anytime .
Oh , no , one of the things Trump suggested after trying to take conventions constituency , that COVID was a hoax , that one of the treatments for COVID that's more effective than anything the doctors were currently offering at the time if you may or may not remember this was hydroxychloroquine . It was like take hydroxychloroquine into fucking miracle drugs .
Even though COVID is a hoax , it'll heal you right up and I'll never forget this . It always sticks with me because it just sums up the experience of the Trump administration 2020 . Like a conservative is being brainwashed . It just , it just strikes that note right , there was this .
There was this elderly couple who had been staying largely quarantined throughout the pandemic , to that point , and they saw Trump on TV pushing this hydroxychloroquine . And I think the lady was like , hmm , look look at the ingredients on this fish tank cleaner .
And the husband was like , yeah , that's that drug Trump was talking about and , like you know , even though they weren't infected with COVID , weren't showing any symptoms , and also , like I don't understand why they decided that they needed to take some kind of treatment for a disease that Trump said was a hoax , they were like , yeah , that's the hydroxychloroquine ,
let's go ahead and take it . So they mixed up them some fish cleaner detergent , slash hydroxychloroquine cocktail and decided to take it , and the woman ended up in the hospital and the husband died , and I'll never forget it , because that is the exact experience that you'll end up with if you vote for Donald Trump .
You know , yeah , I got a cat tear .
Yeah , so don't be like that . Don't let these morons go out here and convince people to vote for Donald Trump , because they'll be voting for their own death . And that concludes this episode of Poor and the Insurrection .
