Hello, hello, hello, how is everybody? This is John Mason. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. And it is a 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 things going around that places the most onerous restrictions on abortions. Like you can only have an abortion after so many weeks before you even know the woman even knows that uh there's a fetus inside of her. And you remembered uh Katie Brandt, a senator from Arkansas, who had this very 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? Hope you're all well, in spite of everything. Well, they done did it this the rep thanks to the spinelessness of the Republicans in the House who think cozying up to Donald Trump is more important than the welfare of their constituents. The big bugly bastard bitch of a budget bill passed and it's going to to Trump's desk. Where he can pick up his crayon and scribble his uh his mark on it. The mark of the beast. Yes, it does it does mean cuts and Medicaid and being on Medicare and Social Security and VA. He's gonna get to them next. And tax cuts for his billionaire buddies. That's what it's all been about. He he brags about being for the people and he has uh his cult followers, but he is for the billionaires and for himself. But he thinks we we need scapegoats to look down upon, such as uh immigrants. Though I would rather take my chance I commend the immigrants for doing this kind of work that the rest of us uh can't do. They are human beings, our fellow workers, our fellow human beings. And it has other provisions that have nothing to do with the budget, like stripping away the ability of federal courts to to contradict his decrees, his executive orders, is official. Dictatorship has arrived. And of course, the midterms are supposed to be next year, but it had there is the possibility that he will find some lame excuse to cancel the midterm elections, declare martial law or something, thanks to his pet Supreme Court and his Republican lackeys in the House and Senate and certain governorships. And we also had our Fourth of July, where we're supposed to celebrate defending our liberties and the downfall of tyrants. And the tyrant, my fellow Americans, is not somewhere across the ocean. It's right just a few hours' drive from here. The fight is on. Are we ready for it? We must organize. We must prepare to take to the streets. We must prepare to be politically engaged. We must continue to educate ourselves. And we have to be on the lookout for ice as they're as they're patrolling our our neighborhoods, looking for people to arrest. And they don't they're not gonna ask for their documents. You heard a story about Stephen Miller, the human human walking butt plug? Anton Moore. Excuse me about that. Freedom fighting never ends. And I never end on your end. Please, I urge you to do your part. Bother your elected representatives. Get in touch with your local news media, letters to the editor and stuff. Stay politically engaged and educationally engaged. An educated populace is the nightmare of tyrants. And get engaged in in local activities, which don't necessarily have anything to do with Trump directly, but every little bit helps. Every little victory on the local level is uh is training for the big uh issue, big fights. Like here in Philadelphia, our municipal workers, like I was, are on strike. Philadelphia municipal workers are not are not paid the average wage for Philadelphia. Twenty, like it's been estimated twenty two thousand percent, two thousand, actually, excuse me, two thousand dollars lower than the average. We're working in poverty. We don't deserve poverty. There's nothing noble about poverty. Poverty messes you up because of poverty, you can't pay your medical bills or your groceries, and that's where we're headed. But but Donnie and his billionaire buddies don't give a shit about us. They're about themselves. If they think of us at all, they think we're just gonna sit back and take it. Like hell. But take part in a fight in your local level, in your neighborhoods, in your communities, starting your in your work sites, and register to vote. And vote when it's time to vote. They'll see we're on to them, they'll see we're not taking their crap, and we'll beat them. And on that cheering note, advertisements!

What would they say about us if we cop out? What will future historians say? Did these people cop out on us? Did they whip out on us? Did they not have the guns to defend our freedoms? Let it not be so, Americans. Enjoy your weekend and keep fighting. Bye.
