Hello, hello, hello, John Mason. How is everybody? Well, I've done my little bit for preserving democracy in this country. Lord knows. Lord knows it needs preserving. Very important to do what we can to preserve our democratic process. The I did my part as an election board worker, and I hope people utilize their right to vote. And the results. Well, I'm pretty pleased with Pennsylvania. John Ferman beat uh Mehmet Oz or Ooze or whatever. And Josh Shapiro beat uh Doug Mastriano, a man who served his country in the Army, was taught at the Army War College, and uh at group photo with other faculty members wore the uniform of Confederate Army. You know, the Confederate Army, the traitors that tried to overthrow our government to preserve their precious uh system of slavery. And hope and you know that Mastriano uh was deep into the Christian nationalist idea that America is a nation of by and for Christians, but what kind of Christians? There are thousands of Christian sects out there. Uh which is which sect uh does Mastriano mean when he means Christian? And and he's also election denier, he was he took part in the crowd on January 6th that raided the Capitol, and such a person should not be anywhere near political power, none whatsoever. And so what about the US House and the US Senate? Oh, by the way, the Pennsylvania House has finally flipped blue. Yep. Who'd have thought? Who would have thought at last? And an African American woman might possibly be the next speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives about the US House and US Senate. That's the question. Will the Republicans have the majority in the House? How big of a one, if any? Could it be possible that the Democrats might somehow sneak their way back in? And the Senate. How about the Senate? Anyway, after we rest up, we go back to work. We do our work at the grassroots level of urging our fellow citizens to be conscious about what's going on in the world, not to be distracted by uh silly silly things or or home homophobia or transphobia. And be aware of the of the violence going on against LGBT people. Uh have dry queen uh uh story times. I'm talking about the political violence that creeps like Ron DeSantis is putting on uh on uh LGBT kids. The same it is a form of violence when you scapegoat an entire class of people and it and make them the cause of all your problems, single them out for abuse. You have to you have to stand up for to these bullies, stand beside our LGBT brothers and sisters, stand beside our workers as they organize in their work sites, such as in Home Depot and Amazon and Starbucks for a living decent wage. A we wage you can live on like human beings. So that's uh what we're up against. If it is a rip victory for the Republicans, it's a Pyrrhic victory. It's a pretty hollow victory. It's a disastrous victory. But a wounded animal is even more dangerous. So let's let's finally uh band together every day to finally defeat uh Magg uh Trump and all he stands for and all the what the Republican Party has turned into. A party of of violence, a party of racism, a party of homophobia, a party of uh hatred for religious minorities or sexual minorities. Let's let's continue the fight. I mean the battleground is entirely different, but the fight goes on. And now advertisements. The fun spot. There you'll find some of the finest cannabis-infused products. Flour and candies and drinks and teas and lip balm and hand sanitizer and dog treats. Look them up. Hamporificlc.com. And now also my beloved career and business coach Michelle Snow.

We can do it. We just did it and we'll keep doing on doing it. And we'll actually act upon the democracy which we're supposed to be about. Okay? Take care. Have have a good weekend. Bye.
