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 f 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 uh there's a fetus inside of her. And you remembered uh Katie Brett, the senator from Arkansas, who had this very ha 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's everybody? Hope you're all well. Donald Trump is trying to make our military his own personal goon squad, like like he's had with ICE and border cousins and border protection. A couple days ago, uh several Democratic members of the House and Senate put out a video urging military personnel to not, repeat, not obey illegal orders that they might be given. And to remind them that their duty is, their oath is to the Constitution of the United States, and not whatever that inmate lurking around the Oval Office. And after that, Trump goes on his truth social rag of the social media thing and calls and calls them traitors who should be hung. It all fits in with earlier this year when Pete Hagseth called in every admiral and every general into Quantico and told them how to be how to be fighting men. How to not be so woke and don't don't worry about uh civil and human rights in the ranks. Then Trump gets on stage and tells them they got use uh America's cities as like practice for invading nations, something like that. The big cities with heavy minority populations, or as the phrase is now majority minority, run by Democratic mayors and city councils. And it also fits in with Trump's fascination with dictators like Putin, uh Xi Jinping, Victor Orban, Kim Jong Kim Jong-un, and now Mohammed bin Salman, who is the who is the de facto dictator of Saudi Arabia, who, according to all the intelligence assets, ordered the assassination, dismemberment, and acid burning of the Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump wants to be a dictator, just like uh Ben Solomon and just like Orban and Putin and Xi and Kim Jong-un. But fortunately, we the American people are bucking up against the against Trump's trend towards authoritarian dictatorship. What with the massive Democratic victories in this year's elections, and now even some Republican members of the House and Senate are turning against them by voting for the resolution demanding the release of the Epstein files. In other words, he's doing a lousy job at being a dictator. So let's keep the pressure up. Let us continue our fight against uh Trump's tyranny or wannabe tyranny. Let's keep demonstrating, keep voting, keep educating ourselves about the issues. And get out there and vote. And this way we'll put some starch in the spines of Democrat and Republican Congress members to stand up to Trump. Okay, that's it for now. Now, advertisements.

Like I said, remember that the military sir is to defend the people and the Constitution of the United States. It was never supposed to be the gang of thugs, the leg breakers for for for Donald Trump. If anybody has loved ones in the military, please remind them of their oath to the Constitution. Do not wage war on your own people. Okay? That's it. Have a lovely weekend. A happy Thanksgiving. Shabbat Shalom. Bye.
