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 uh 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? I hope you're doing well, in spite of everything. I have been appalled and disgusted by our commander-in-chief treating California, particularly LA, or especially certain blocks of LA, into a war zone. Sending in the National Guard and and the Marines. As a matter of fact, there's re there's reports that the guardsmen sent down to LA were not provided for. Nothing to eat, nothing to drink, no place to sleep. And they they're in such a rush uh to get those guys down there that they didn't get a chance to fill out paperwork that that would have been paid for this for this little uh adventure or misadventure, or have it qualified and uh add it to their uh VA benefits. But no, Donald Trump regards it his military as suckers and losers. Young men and women who come from the working classes and the low-income classes and the small towns and your sit in the city blocks, where you and I come from, the working people of America and low-income people of America. And now he's going to the tomorrow, he's going to have a treat our men and women in uniform as a chorus line for his uh grand parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate the glorious leader. And guess what? There's this company that has to hire people to fill the bleaches uh for Trump's parade. And they're gonna be paid in cyber cryptocurrency, which I have no confidence in. I mean he he knows somewhere in the back of his uh twisted little brain pan, Donald Trump knows that we're sick of him. But he's in denial of it. I am just waiting for the military brass uh to confront Trump with this nonsense and tell him, uh sir, that's not how it works. And the fear is that Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act, which would give him the authority to declare martial law in certain parts of the country, and ban meetings. So we're gonna keep on meeting. We are going to continue to defy Trump. Let him know he's a weak little punt pussy punk he is. As a matter of fact, tomorrow on tomorrow is Trump's uh coming into the World Day, the Plague Us Day, and all and the date of his uh glorious uh Gustafon, which happens to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of the United States Army, and that's going to be No King's Day. No King's Day, which means Trump isn't going to be a king. He's gonna get crowned, but he's not gonna be a king. And there'll be uh rallies and marches and demonstrations all over the country, except for DC, of course. And there's gonna be supportive uh marches and demonstrations in some European cities. Isn't that neat? I myself will be going to the one uh tomorrow starting at 12 o'clock at Love Park on the 16th and JFK Boulevard. And it's gonna end the 12 March down to Independence Hall, the birthplace of our Constitution. Constitution, Donnie, you heard of that thing? You probably roll up, tear it up, roll into a joint, smoke it. But anyway. Let's continue to fight. The great thing about demonstrations and rallies is we know how to band together. Band together. We see people who think just like us, who hate uh this oppressive situation just as much as we do, and we know we're not alone. A dictatorial regime would not want uh this it is to think they're all alone, so they better keep their mouth shut. This shows we have we are we know who we are, we we're united and we're banding together. So after the rallies, after the marches, let's get to work and continue the work. In our neighborhoods, in our workstations, our workplaces, okay, continue the work. Okay that being said, advertisements!
