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, a 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. I just love it. I just love it. And there are these people and institutions who stand up to Trump. And here's some examples. The Pentagon Press Corps has refused to sign this agreement that P. Higgsith, the Secretary of War, or we're whatever, this agreement a lot that the Pentagon censors uh the material they report. In this new agreement, it has to run uh by the Pentagon for their approval, and a lot of valuable information could be censored. So instead of going along with the with the agreement, every member of the Pentagon Press Corps has packed up their bags from the Pentagon press office and walked out. And as several uh major news organizations like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and even Fox News refuse to go along with this agreement. If you're losing if Trump is losing Fox News, his favorite propaganda machine, he is sinking, sinking, sinking. I give a shout out to Admiral William Holsey, uh, who was the head of the US Southern Command, which is uh the uh the US military command and in charge of military operations from in Latin and South America. He resigned. He resigned his position over the incident whereby by a jet fighter shot down this Venezuelan boat, which allegedly, allegedly was uh importing drugs. And I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. I say it's uh just one part of Trump's war on dark-skinned people. And here we have the University of Pennsylvania joining several other uh institutions of higher learning. They rejected the Trump regime's compact, whereby the the administration in exchange for federal funds dictates uh admissions policies, like what kind of uh for the schools, what what the faculty and the schools teach, and and admissions of foreign students. Again, censorship and I think I'll commend them for that. I commend them. And of course, we're familiar with the I know, with the young Republican meet leaders, the young Republican meet leaders, remember the young Republicans, these people were from ages 18 to 40. And they had this group text whereby they mention they sent the most racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic crap you can imagine. Like variations of the nasty N-word. I talk of one guy saying I love Hitler, and then all saying all and the watermelon people. They're talking about uh gas chambers and all that. And we one of them even said indicated they hoped that they weren't found out, but they kept texting anyway. It's as much of a scandal as Heggs in the SIG in the group signal chat, uh, giving classified information to uh uh to various uh secure uh Trump officials and members of his family, and and one of them was the editor-in-chief of the Electric Monthly. Vital inf and he's gonna dictate to us about uh uh guarding uh military secrets. That's what we're up against. Those are the people who are running the Republican Party in this regime. Hate-filled, racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, Islamophobic, and ignorant to boot. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Therefore, and it's a good segue for me to talk about the No King's Day tomorrow. In hundreds of cities around the country, people are gonna be on the streets protesting peacefully against against Trump and his regime and his cronies. And of course, uh the right-wing media, the Trump-loving media, wants to, is for talking about this as some sort of hate America rally. Like they're conflating America with Trump and vice versa. Ain't like that. It ain't like that. These people dominating the the Trump regime and the Republican Party do not give a rat's ass about America. It's like they want to act out their racism and sexism and homophobia and anti-Semitism, that's etc. on a people they hate. And we're supposed to take it now. Nuh-uh. So I hope you will make your way tomorrow to your local No Kings rally. And if you don't where know where your local one is, you can look it up on Google. And I'm going to be attending the one 12 o'clock at tomorrow at at Philadelphia City Hall. Please be there. Make a make a show of force, a positive force, a people's force. Show up for America.
