Hello, hello, hello, how is everybody? This is John Mason. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. And that is the time we pay our respects to all the women in our lives, our mothers and our wives, and our girlfriends, and our sisters, and every other woman that we come across. Happy Mother's Day, ladies. And if we want the best for the women in our lives, we must protect the reproductive rights. There are all these states going around that places the most onerous restrictions on abortions. Like you only have an abortion after so many weeks before you even know the woman even knows that there's a fetus inside of her. And you remembered uh Katie Brett, the senator from Arkansas, who had this very ham bad case of ham acting after Biden's uh State of the Union address. Is that the best Republicans can do? Well anyway, she has this bright idea of a database. She's proposing this bill that would establish a database for all women who are pregnant. Hello, hello, hello, John Mason. How is everybody? Hope you all doing well. I hope America's doing well. Well, the word is getting out about Project 2025, the nasty little fever dream of the Heritage Foundation, and a policy Bible of another, God forbid, Trump regime. A full-on a plan for authoritarianism, dictatorship, and this the land of the free. All power will be conglomerated into the executive branch. With no input or resistance from the legislative or the judicial. I don't think Trump would have any problem with the judicial because he's loaded the Supreme Court with his his patsies. And do they think do these conservatives think that the that we're just gonna sit back and take it? I remember the interview over uh Real America's Voice by Kevin Rogers. He's the president of the Heritage Foundation, and he brags that he's leading a second American revolution. If the left and said it would be bloodless if the left allows it. In other words, he wants us to just sit back and take it. Sit back and take our rights being taken away. Sit back and let uh protections for civil rights and voting rights be taken away. Sit back and let uh LGBTQ people be oppressed. Sit back and let women's right to their reproductive rights, control control of their own bodies be taken away. Sit back and let our schools be gutted of a real learning. Sit back and let our libraries be censored by a gain of illiterate Yahoos. And sit back and let our kids be ken fodder for their wars. One of the um first let me state this. I have the most profound respect for the men and women of our armed forces and our veterans. I say this with no disrespect, but part of Project 2025 is for public schools to have their students uh the have them take the armed forces uh vocational evaluation test, whatever they call it, to evaluate what kind of MOS they would be put in in the military if there's a draft. And as for kids in public schools, kids in private schools, where the rich kids go to get their education wasted on them, will not have to take this test. Which means rich guys will start the wars and poor kids will fight them. Class warfare cats and kittens, and we're supposed to just sit back and take it. The hell we will. I assure you that if our rights are taken away, we will resist to the maximum. And I'm pleased that that even the mainstream commercial news media is getting the word about Project 2025. And MB's MSNBC host Joy Reed is going to put out a regular series about Project 2025 and the dangers it poses. And you can bet I'm gonna sound the warning full blast about this insidious plot to destroy our our democracy, our freedoms, our what makes America America. Unless, but we and the first thing we can do is to not be distracted about any silly business about uh uh Biden's age. What about Trump's age? Biden is about eighty one and Trump's about seventy-eight. So is Trump a kid? See this young stallion, this spring chicken, uh-uh. He's also up there in age. And ageism. Just because you're of a certain age doesn't mean you're incompetent. Some people are older than you, some people are younger than you. Has nothing to do is part of the natural cycle of life. Has nothing to do with you as a person. And Joe Biden has spent his entire career in public service. And he had no problem being vice president under under Barack Obama. They were a team they were partners, they were a team together. Whereas Trump just rattles off this weird stuff at his rallies. Biden spoke about the necessity of NATO and how it's kept the peace in Europe for all these decades. And what's Trump talking about? Nothing about policy, nothing about gun violence or narcotics or or NATO just rattling some weird stuff about electric boats and sharks and windmills killing eagles and all that nonsense. And his followers lap it up. In other words, let's pay some attention to Trump's uh talk, his his racism, his sexism, his anti-Semitism. Yes, he's anti-Semitic and racist. And he has goes by these oh sure he tries these silly little outreach things to the African American community, and he thinks he can win them over by hawking his four hundred dollar gold plated sneakers, and uh having on stage with him at that rally in the Bronx uh hardcore two hardcore rappers who have some fell have their own felony uh charges against them, including murder. But what do you expect from a 34 year count convicted felon? I'm talking about Trump. My friends, if we don't want Project 2025 to be for real, let's pay attention to the danger that Trump poses. Remember his idiocies. Remember how he neglected this kind this country's uh death toll from COVID and how he cowtowed a Putin on all his and all his stupid statements. I'm now thinking about his genius idea of trying to stop hurricanes by dropping a nuclear bomb in them. Remember that genius move as we educate ourselves about the danger of Trump and the dangers of Project 2025 on November 5th. Take your asses out there to the polling booth and vote. Vote like your country depends on it, vote like your children depend on it, vote like your fellow Americans depend on it because it does. I'm coming on pretty strong, but it's serious business. Trump's a danger to us. Trump is a maniac. Trump is stupid and incompetent as opposed to Biden, who's done pretty well in his three and a half years so far, of increasing employment and the stock market's been uh going off the charts lately. Do you think our capitalist class wants a second Trump administration? That's I give a goddamn about them, but do you think they want another administration where the where the stock Dow Jones stock market kept dropping and dropping? I don't think so. But get out there and vote Bottom line and this is one more blow. I thought it would be one more blow against Trump and the fascist menace he poses. Okay. Alrighty then. Advertisements.
