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're all well. Let's spent take a moment to honor the memories of the children. Children who were injured and killed at a school shooting in Georgia. The shooter was a 14-year-old kid who somehow got into his father's uh rifle and started shooting. And now enough of this thoughts and prayers stuff. The Republican Party does not care one whit about the lives of children or anyone else. The NRA is a big Republican donor, and the Republican Party would rather uh uh suck up the uh donations from the NRA rather than uh protect our children or citizens. And it's it's gotten and they're so indifferent, like J.D. Vance, the the genius vice presidential pick of Donald What's his face, has said us something we have to get used to. A fact of life, like he calls it a fact of life, like uh kids getting pimples and all that, that we have to accept it. I don't believe one minute we have to accept that crap. That's that my friends is where uh the Republican Party's head is act. Although it's it's proven itself by electing this happiness candidate, it's this charlatan, this con artist, this uh this uh 34 town indicted indicted uh three times married, raping, uh raping, business cheating, tax cheating, golf cheating, creep. And an entire political movement, the evangelicals saying that saying that he's God's anointed for America. That's where the Republican Party is at, my friends. And what makes it interesting is that now, lately, uh Trump's been outright admitting that he lost the election in 2020. At a Mons for Liberty event, he Trump admitted that he lost the election, quote, by a whisker. Uh seven million votes uh by Trump Biden led led Trump in a popular vote by seven million votes. Pretty big whisker. And now there's some far-right elements in this country who understand that that Trump has been conning them and using them and manipulating them. They realize they campaigned for him for nothing, rampaged and ransacked the Capitol for nothing, went to prison for him for nothing. That's that is the nature of Trump and the Republican Party. So what are these far right elements who understand that Trump betrayed them going to do for the election? Maybe they should just sit out the election, knowing their guy's not gonna win, or maybe they'll find another messiah that they'll follow. And NRG ex president spoke before the Economic Club of New York. Not uh economists, but just some rich guys getting together to talk about doing nothing. Anyway, and and Trump was asked about uh what his plans are for health care, no child care, specifically child care, and he goes off in his rambling, rambling, rambling uh uh babble about uh Marco Rubio and Ivanka and tariffs and imports and just for two minutes. Not addressing at all the issue of health child care. So that is what the Republican Party in at this present stage in our history. And one hopeful sign of the decline of the Trump campaign is that the Trump campaign has closed all its offices in New Hampshire. And I look forward to to the Trump campaign closing its offices in other states in a nation, knowing that damn well they're not their guy's not gonna win. Knowing it's a lost cause, knowing that Kamala Harris is going to trounce them. Other states say Pennsylvania, but let's not get overconfident. That will destroy us. That's what ruined the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, and we can't let that happen. We've got to be out there campaigning in each little hamlet and township and small town and city block to urge our our friends and neighbors to vote for true for Kamala Harris and defeat Trump. And please, no third parties. In Pennsylvania, that the campaigns of Cornell West and the Party of Socialism and Liberation, their candidates, uh Cynthia uh Claudia Cruz, they've been taken off the ballot in Pennsylvania. So the only third parties are are Jill Stein running in the Green Party and Chase Oliver running in the Libertarian Party. I'm afraid they'll suck votes away from uh from Harris. Don't bother with third parties. If Harris needs fixing, we'll do what citizens do in a democracy. Vote and petition our elected representatives. I urge you to vote November fifth. This coming Tuesday, September the 10th, will be the debate between Harris and Donald, what's his face? A broadcast over ABC. I urge you to watch. Get together with your friends, your neighbors, have and watch and watch Harris trous Trump. And the Harris campaign is counting on Trump to say something stupid. Which is what he's good at. So as to make him look bad. But still get out there and campaign and vote. Alrighty then. I'm done with my tire tirade and now advertisements. All this work I do is work.
