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 our 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 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, hello, hello, John Mason. How is everybody? Hope you're all well. Donald Trump has a masculinity problem. He he tries to pass himself as a big, bad, strong man while terrorizing uh and insulting those people, those men who have had who display positive masculine traits. Like recently, Robert Mueller, former FBI director, who headed the commission supervising uh supervising Trump and the role of the Russians in the 2016 election, had recently passed away and Trump celebrated, celebrated his death, which he celebrated the death of a man who after graduating from Princeton, instead of some going through some working for some high-end bank, went right into the Marines, served in Vietnam, won the Purple Heart. Well while while Donald Trump was nursing his bone spurs. It had nothing to do with immigrants. It was just a ring of terror. And and also in the upcoming threat to deploy ICE agents at polling stations throughout the country. It's an attempt to intimidate us against voting. And and also deploying ICE to uh to airports because the TSA agents haven't been paid. Well, the good news is the Senate just passed a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security that pays for every agency in the department except ICE. Except ICE. TSA's gonna be paid, not ICE. And Trump knows that he he is in deep shit with deep deep trouble with the American people. Which leads to another one of his um uh uh feasts of pseudo-masculinity, uh the war on Iran. There's no reason why he did it. They don't have a reason, they don't know what, they don't know why they did it. He he just sends them there so it can look all big and bad and deflect against uh the case of Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship with him, and he did have a relationship with him. What we need, Americans, is a president who is not hung up about trying to be a big strong man. Certainly not one who's a total kleptomaniac, trying to use the White House as a marketing tool, one scam after another, one try one attempt after another to get money out of his disciples. Oh yeah, he's got a cult. It's a cult, don't worry. And using the trying to use the federal government as his uh as his gang of leg breakers, the Justice Department is his consiglieri. Yes, the Trump family has been compared to a crime family, like the five mob families in New York. So we the people must band together, and and tomorrow is a great opportunity to to it to do that. Tomorrow, March the 28th, in your town and what have you a town near you, there will be a No Kings rally. There'll be thousands of them all over the country. And even in some of the most conservative districts in in the nation. If you're in Philadelphia, the rally starts tomorrow 12 noon at City Hall. Then we'll be marching down uh Franklin Parkway. Y'all make a stand against Trump, be there. The world will watch, damn sure the Republic Republicans who suck up to Trump will pay attention and realize that Trump is a liability.

Let's channel that energy, that revolutionary energy, that fighting back and fighting for freedom energy. Let's not let down the our ancestors who fought all the fights for freedom. Not just the Continental Revolutionary Patriots, but the abolitionists, women's suffrage activists, the labor union organizers, the the second wave feminists, the uh the LGBTQ plus fighting fighters.
