Hello, hello, hello. How is everybody? This is John Mason. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. And that 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 states go 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 a spill that would establish a database for all women who are pregnant. Hello, hello, hello. John Mason, how is everybody? Hope you're doing all well. Hope things are good for you. The federal government remains shut down as of this podcast. The Republicans are in charge of the Senate and the House, but they're scapegoating the the Democratic caucus because of it. And Mike Johnson, and along with that, Mike Johnson, a house squeaker, a speaker, is keep is refusing to call the House together because of that. Because of the budget, and so as not to swore in, swear in the new uh can the new uh Congress member from from Arizona, who is a Democrat, and which being one more vote for for the release of the Epstein files. And of course it's the butt there's also the budget. The Republican budget is that has no extensions for the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. And and Republicans are quite content to to starve our military personnel, to starve our rural health care system, starve uh rural hospitals. For what? The only problem that that Trump has with Obamacare because it was made by under Obama. And because of the vanity and and the fear of this this uh putrid lump lurking around the the White House, that Mike Johnson is refusing to do the right thing and reopen Congress. So reopen the house so that we can vote debate and vote on the budget and and release the Epstein files. Uh Mike Johnson is a uh passes himself off as a uh as a good Christian man. He got a star as an attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom. That's a religious right organization who is which is dedicated to opposing LGBTQ rights. And I saw the clip on C SPAM where where Johnson was was the was being was a guest, and his military wife was complaining that that uh military famil military personnel aren't being paid and their kids are going to die from lack of medical care. And instead of actually doing the right thing, guess what he does? You guessed it scapegoat the Democrats all for the sake of Trump. Such a good Christian man and defending a pedophile. He knows damn well that Trump is all over the Epstein files. Epstein with his underage brothel full of underage girls. And that's what that good Christian man is thinking. Disgusting. Remember when Jesus talked about white a suppulse? That's what he is. Underneath that pious veneer, what's going on inside of him? Is it a black hole? Is that what Johnston is a black hole in a meat suit? So we know what we gotta do. Stay on our members of Congress. If they're Democratic. Oh, here's another thing. Several federal employees have been furloughed. And or else have been told they have to work without pay. And they would be uh reim uh reimbursed for their uh the life the lost uh uh time they were paid. They haven't been paid. But it's usually it'd be rather neutral uh notice, like due to budget issues, you're you have to be laid off, stuff like that. But now it's uh all partisan due to the Democrat radical liberal uh refusal to submit to our Lord President Donald's demands, uh you're not getting paid, stuff like that. Partisan. And these federal jobs are of civil service. They're not supposed to be engaged in politics, but but that that but reality and law doesn't stop Donald Trump or his minions, do they? So the fight is on. Get on your social media, get on your members of Congress, get with your neighbors, your people in your congregation, the people in your trade union, and band together to to get on Congress and pass this, pass a budget bill with that saves the Affordable Care Act, and hopefully Medicaid. But and don't worry, if they can come after Medicaid, they can come after Medicare and Social Security and Veterans Benefits. Those three I uh personally uh get support from, so so I have do have a rooting stake in it, as do so many millions of Americans. And don't let the Republicans think and the Trumpists think that they're invincible, they're indomitable. You must submit. Resistance is futile. No, it's not futile, it's doable. Like with LA, resisting ice along with Portland and Chicago. The restaurants in in Chicago aren't serving ice agents, and they're not and ice agents aren't allowed in restrooms, and wherever an ice vehicle is found, tow trucks find them and pick up picking them up if they're uh parked illegally. See? Resistance isn't futile. We can fight back. And Trump is rock bottom in popularity. So let's keep it up. Let's hit the streets. Let's hit our news media. Let's stand up to Trump and everything he stands for. Okay. That's all for now and now advertisements. All this media work I do is work. Work on my on my blog, my my uh podcast, my YouTube channel, my poetry and my fiction, all work.

Alrighty then. That's the fight ahead of us. Against Trump and everything he stands for. And all the little uh nasty little goblins working for him. Definitely Stephen Miller and definitely that black hole in the meat suit named named Mike Johnson. We'll take him on and we'll beat him. He's worked in the past, it will work now. Thanks, have a good weekend. Shabbat shalom. Bye.
