Welcome back to another episode of Candyland.
Tonight we have a special guest and we're really excited about
it. So Jim and I.
Tonight we have a Brittany Jones.
We have talked before. I had you on Coven of Rejects,
but you are running for president.
You're a content creator. You are all of the things.
So welcome to look it like a. Lollipop, I'm glad to be on.
I'm glad you reached out to have me come back to a different
podcast too this time. Right.
Yeah. We're so happy to have you.
I know that Paige had listened to the interview that we had
done together, and then she'd been like, wow, I just really
want to, like, get to know more about her and to hear more
about, like, what she's wanting to do with her voice and her
platforms and how you're wanting to be influential to others.
So when you say you're running for president, can you elaborate
on that? I got tired of everything.
And when Trump just won in 2016, I was like, it's time for us to
start standing up and doing something about this because
they don't care about any of us. So in 2022, I registered with
the FEC, which is the Federal Election Commission, to be a
presidential candidate for this election in 2024.
And I have it timed perfectly because I turned 35 in August.
So it's literally right before the election and I'm doing it so
that I can fight to make it safer for us here.
So. Is 35 the age that you have to
be in order to be able to run? No, you have to be 35 at the
time of taking office, so as long as you're 35 before you
take the oath of office, you're fine.
So you mean when Biden won in 2020?
No, in 2016, Trump won. Oh, OK.
You said 2020. It threw me off because Biden
won in 2020. So are you running
independently? Yes, I'm running as part of No
Party. I know absolutely nothing about
politics. I am feeling like they
brainwashed everyone to not know anything about politics for a
reason. Because our ancestors and people
like used to keep up with it and protest.
And you know, voting was really important.
But I know a lot of people who just don't vote at all, ever.
Yeah it's it's sad because a lot of people don't even didn't even
know that you can run as not a part of a party.
There's a lot of people that think you have to be a part of a
party to run for office and you don't.
And they're also under the impression that it's a two party
system, but it's not. We have multiple parties in this
country. It just so happens that the
corporation's back two main ones.
But if we actively boycott those two parties, then they lose
their power and we can get someone else in office and
hopefully start educating people.
That's a big part of my campaign, too, is educating on
on how things actually are rather than what the media tells
people to believe. You do a lot of things on your
platform too, where you'll take concepts or things that people
are discussing in mainstream media or on social media.
And then you educate and try and like breakdown the facts in a
non biased way. Which is one of the things that
I've really appreciated about your platform.
Because I don't subscribe to either one of the two parties
that we get an option for. And it seems like if you say you
don't subscribe to the parties, the only way that I ever know
how to, like, describe myself is like, socially liberal and
politically conservative. And I hate that in order to
describe ourselves, we have to be like, oh, let me describe an
either or for you. Right.
That's I I used to be a Democrat and I actually started off as a
Democrat in my campaign. But I truly believe that the
whoever is president should not be a part of any party, because
when you're president, you're supposed to represent the
people, not party interests. So I I decided to go completely
independent because it's just it would feel wrong to be a part of
a party when that's not something that I agree with.
One thing that I don't like about the government agencies
is, like all of the lobbyists. How like they want to buy TikTok
from China. Only so an American lobbyist in
their interest can purchase it, make money off of it, and then
block the advertisement that isn't for them.
And you know, Facebook or Meta is being sued for messing with
the election. This previous election that we
had, they actually got found guilty for promoting certain,
like ad structures and then denying other ad structures.
So I always think it's really crazy of like why Bernie Sanders
could not win because he just seemed like he was for the
people. Do you have an opinion on Bernie
Sanders? I do.
I really wish that he had not dropped out back then.
But recently he did accept money from the AIPAC and that that's
all in support of Israel. And I don't support Israel.
You can see where I think it's open secret shows you where all
the Congress members got payments, what who's paid them,
how much they got paid. But back in the day, I really
feel like if he hadn't dropped out, he still would have had a
chance. Even because we see it in this
election, the parties are fractured.
So usually after the primary elections, the Democrats would
choose one of their own candidates to back and the other
candidates that are Democrats would drop out.
We're not seeing that. We're not seeing that with the
Democratic Party. We're not seeing that with the
Republican Party or the Green Party.
They all have. While the main party is backing
one candidate, the other candidates are not dropping out.
We have Jill Stein still on the field, Cornell West, they're
both Green Party candidates. Then we have, I think Marianne
Williamson is still running. Or did she drop out?
I don't have an answer to that. What's the Green Party?
It's just another party. They're more focused on the
environment than than the other ones.
Like, I just did a debate with the Green Party of Alaska and
they're fractured from the national Green Party because
Green Party votes were thrown out so that they could nominate
Jill Stein. So there's disenfranchised Green
Party voters just so the Green Party can nominate Jill Stein.
So there's a fracture there. And in Alaska, there's going to
be multiple Green Party candidates on the ballot because
of this fracture. There is so much that, like, so
I've been listening to, oh, what's the Up and Vanished is
the name of the podcast. But they've done this is their
second season discussing missing or murdered indigenous women.
And that's such a huge prevalent problem that they have in
Alaska. And I was doing a bunch of
research about like, well, what types of funds are being
allocated to Alaska to help with this issue.
And there really isn't. It's all people trying to do
like private fundraising and things like that in order to get
like local jurisdiction to be able to have the manpower to
take things on. And it's so interesting to me to
have that be like a part of our country and to and to claim them
as a part of us and then for us to not allocate any of our like
American dollars into helping. But we're have no problem
spending all of this money to go across seas and help other
people with what they have going on instead of genocides that we
have going on in our own country that we don't take any like,
time or or look into. Then the the MMIW crisis is more
than just in Alaska. It's all over the United States.
We have one of ours, our own, going missing every 30 seconds.
At the beginning of last year it was every 60 seconds.
So the rate of going missing or being murdered has doubled in
less than a year and that's that's nationwide and they it is
part of the genocide that you just brought up it.
It's a land grab. The less natives there are, the
more of the land that the American government can take.
So that's where the blood quantum comes from.
That's where, you know the man camps come from violating
treaties. They don't care when when a
native person goes missing or gets murdered because that's
just that's an opportunity for them to get more land
eventually. I had learned a lot about, like
the native children that are orphans being adopted into the
American system and how bad that is and how they used to allow
them to kind of foster or keep these children in the tribe or
in the unit. But now the government has like,
signed this thing where they're taking all of those children and
then putting them into the corrupt system we already have.
What do you think about that? I think somewhere, I think they
said like 46 or 56% of the kids in foster care.
I don't have the number off the top of my head are Indigenous
and it's the Supreme Court, upheld ICWA.
But people are finding loopholes to be able to take Native
children, and this is another form of genocide because it's
taking them from their culture, taking from them from their
teachings. The languages are dying and it's
because the children are not growing up within their own
communities. We just had a huge battle, well,
not me, but the UP in Alaska for Chanel.
She was a Alaskan baby from up north, and her grandmother was
fighting for her tribal grandmother was fighting for
custody of her. And twice the tribal courts said
yes, you get custody. And the white woman that had
Chanel ignored those court orders and did everything she
could to keep Chanel. But Chanel finally got home just
recently. She's finally back with her
nation. But we're still seeing that
there's another woman that's looking into getting native
embryos to use like the eggs from egg banks to adopt and
raise in white families. So it's going, it's getting even
more crazy out there towards native children and Equa needs
to be upheld. See, and I find as being
somebody who is involved like on TikTok and has a lot of
community conversations that way, I think that it's so
unhelpful that there are so many people who are of all different
types of cultures. But put other people down that
are part of that culture for, oh, well, you're too white to,
you know, be a part of this culture or your skin is too
dark. Or, well, you only have this
percentage native in you. So you can't speak on these
types of topics and these things.
And so then it makes it so that people are more focused on
having debates with each other and being distracted doing that
and having like hateful rhetoric as opposed to amplifying their
voices and being supportive and being like, oh, well, you're
wanting to speak on this and you're wanting to be helpful
with this. And that's the purpose of your
video, regardless of the color of your skin or the percentage
of your heritage or whatever. That that is a big problem.
The lateral violence is within communities and that's from
lookership, colorism, all of that stuff that's been
implemented. We saw it even back in the slave
days when you know the the lighter skinned black women were
put as house slaves, the darker skinned or less conveniently
attractive ones were put in the field, and the slave owners
would literally pit these two groups against each other
because as long as we fight each other, we're not fighting them.
And I actually found myself at the center of something like
that because my DNA is not enough.
It doesn't matter that I'm active in my culture.
It doesn't matter that I'm learning from my family to some
of these people. And I was engaging in the
beginning, but I stopped. I ended up just blocking anyone
who said I wasn't enough, who tried to cause problems because
there's work to do. And that's why I'm choosing not
to focus on the drama. I'm choosing to focus on the
work because that's how we move forward.
And all I'm doing is wishing the people that are causing the
lateral violence healing. Because it's the same people who
are saying reconnecting natives, even just one drop, You know
reconnect to your culture, reconnect to your heritage,
decolonize re indigenize that turn around and do this to
reconnecting natives. And it's it's it is a problem
but it's one that our own community has to kind of fix for
itself. And I'm still learning those
ways. So it's not really something
that I can even fully speak on outside of my own experience but
that would just feed into the drama as well.
So I'm choosing to continue moving forward with work.
I have legislation for MMIW, 2 of them actually, one for
specifically for murdered, one specifically for missing.
And it would allocate funding just as much for any other
person that went missing or got murdered for investigations for
it to be taken seriously for federal reporting.
Because we're not even reported in state statistics as much as
we should be when we go missing. Do you feel like with your
campaign that that is like some of the main focuses that you
have is for protecting those people who don't have a voice?
I do. In the beginning it wasn't even
like solely focused on indigenous people but people
would come into my comments mainly Whitey people be like all
you do is focus on natives all you do is focus on this and and
1st for Bennett I wasn't I was offensive and I was like well
don't you see my videos on transgender people don't you see
my videos for pagans? Are you just so narrow minded.
But then I sat back and I was and I was looking at the other
candidates past campaigns what past leadership has done and no
one has put natives first. So I'm like, you know what?
Why not? Why not for once put First
Nations 1st? And I've seen a dip in my
engagement because anytime indigenous issues are centered
where Shadow Band, the algorithm doesn't boost it.
So like it doesn't want that information getting out there.
But to me it's worth the fight. I'm still fighting for everyone,
but my main platform issue is indigenous rights.
And this may be a silly question because I I.
Really don't know are do they vote in our American election?
Yes and no. A lot of natives that I've came
across, that I've met, that I've spoken to, they don't trust the
American government. They don't participate in the
American government. It's not their government.
They're supposed to be truly free and sovereign.
And yet here they are at the beck and like the reservations
the territories have to ask for approval to improve their
infrastructure from the federal government.
And so there's a lot of distrust in the system itself.
And then we also have the problems with the amount of
homelessness and poverty and lack of education as well.
So a lot of people don't have IDs to be able to go register to
vote or addresses. And so it's it's another problem
and I think trying to get anyone to vote, I think felons of
nonviolent crime should be able to get their voting rights back
in all states. It shouldn't be so hard to get
your ID so you can vote for any community, homeless community
too, because they don't have addresses, they don't have IDs,
they don't get ballots, they can't vote.
So this is something that that affects everyone.
Speaking of IDs, not not to go on this thought, but what do you
think about them taking the ID regulation from the States and
putting that into the federal government where now like I used
to be able to go to a certain county and be able to get a new
ID and it was a Kentucky State ID.
And then now once next year you have to have a centralized real
ID. What's your opinion on that?
That for me feels a little Holocaust, Bob.
So that's what it makes me think of, like the federal government
controlling all of that and taking it away from the states
gives me like utopian dictator energy.
You know, I was, I was like, why do we have to get a real ID if
we also have to have a passport to travel outside of our
country? The real ID, if we have to get a
real ID that should also be able to act as our passport to get
back into the country. Stop making it so difficult for
us to travel. Because without the real ID we
won't even be able to travel on commercial, unlike just regular
flights within the United States.
But in May 2025, we have to have it.
It costs more money than a regular ID and it's it's just
more requirements. I personally don't agree with
it. I think the ID system we had
before shouldn't have been messed with in that way.
I wondered what your opinion was on, and I will not.
I I do not remember her name. She's an older woman with like
Gray blonde hair that was inside of our political system.
She was being called Pocahontas and she was going and she was
saying that and her growing up, that her one of her parents was
indigenous and the other one wasn't.
And so her whole upbringing there was this like quarrel
within her family and was using that as running politically as
one of her like, talking points and how she's a a native woman
and people need to listen to what she has to say.
And that was her whole platform. And then she went out and she
did a ADNA test and it was like .01%.
And so then after that, I haven't heard anything about her
politically at all. I'm not sure who you're talking.
Is it Elizabeth Warren what you're talking about?
Yeah, I don't know. You know, I don't really have an
opinion on her. Nobody should rely on their
indigenous heritage to run for political office unless it's
like I didn't grow up on the reservation.
I didn't grow up within my indigenous, like, community.
I grew up Mexican, but even my Mexican family wasn't like
really connected to their indigenous roots.
You know, they were Catholic, severely, extremely Catholic
with baptismos. And we did have quinceanera and
stuff. I didn't have a quinceanera.
I'd had the most delicious cake ever, though.
And the good party but my parents couldn't afford for me
to have in Quitzanera. But you know I can't speak on on
that type of issue because I don't know her all together.
I'm like I don't do blood quantum, but all together I'm
like around 10 or 11% with my Mexican and and Padawamic and
all the other pieces combined for indigenous because Mexicans
are also indigenous to Turtle Island.
And so I I don't, I think anyone should rely on their native
heritage if they have it to get elected.
Mine comes up in discussions because people ask and I answer
but I'm not using MyHeritage or my identity as my platform.
The only I talk about it to make a personal connection with
people, but it's not my platform.
And so using that as a platform when you're not actually from
those communities, I don't agree with that.
I imagine that. And the reason why that came to
my mind is because we were talking about people not even
trusting the government and having their voice and even
wanting to have that vote and it being difficult for them to get
that vote. And I imagine that being a
culture of people who people are using as a like token in order
to gain favor in some way or alliance in some way.
I imagine that that makes you feel even angrier and more
alienated. And we were recently traveling
to California from Idaho. And so you pass through a couple
of different reservations on your drive.
And my husband and I were talking about how there are,
yes, they have their own, like laws and things like that on the
reservation and their own like police forces and things like
that. But they still do have like US
laws that they have to follow and you know, paying money and
just different things that they're controlled by.
Yet I've never driven through a reservation and been like, wow,
this is such a nice place And their homes look great and it
looks like they have money being poured into them.
Like you've you've got, you know, the ones that we passed
through all had a casino on it and a gas station.
And you're like, so this is your source of income.
It doesn't look like the government takes care of these
people, takes care of these places, yet come and vote in
these elections, have an opinion on what's going to influence and
affect everybody else around you.
But then you guys are in your pocket of poverty over here and
that's all that you've got. And even in it's Lovelock,
Nevada, they have like a big cannabis industry over there.
And there's it's on the reservation, it's reservation
owned cannabis industry. You can tell that there's all
this money coming into the dispensaries, yet the homes
around it are like dilapidated trailers.
People's cars are all older cars.
It doesn't feel like people are being seen or actually taken
care of. You can see it, there's mineries
and mines and refineries being pushed right now across the
United States and a lot of the native population is showing up
and speaking out against them. And you can see the corporations
and even the council members too have been bought out because
money is is toxic in that way. Not all money is good, is good
money. And there the the lady literally
said that, you know, pretty much we did the advisory committee
and we're going forward with this anyways.
It's going to be done completely disregarding any Native voices
on these issues. And you're right, it it is
frustrating when somebody who doesn't have these experiences
tokenizes their identity and tries to speak for everyone
because no one Native speaks for all natives.
That's not how it works. There's many different nations.
There's 574 federally recognized tribes, over 200 state
recognized tribes, and I think even more than that, fighting
for recognition. And I was talking to Randy
Rivers. He's Shannon Arapaho, and he
gave me, he, he brought up this idea to create a separate but
equal form of government for natives.
So it'd be like a new confederacy of all 574 tribes
coming together and creating a separate but equal government
branch of government to balance out the United States government
and actually finally have an equal say, an equal power.
And I think that's a great idea. And I've actually been
researching on how to make that happen.
I think that would be so beautiful discussing mining.
So I know that one mine that is controversial right now is in
Winnemucca, Nevada. They're going to be mining, I
believe it's lithium, lithium ion or something like that and
that's what's needed for like running your electric cars and
things like that. So we're wanting to start mining
that more locally inside of the US so that I can go towards
those things. But what confuses me is all
these people are voting on wanting to or are all these
people are like, Oh well, I want to have, you know, the electric
cars and I want to have all of these things, but I don't want
you guys to be using local minds.
I want you to be like outsourcing it to other
countries. And So what does that for you if
you were going to, you know, if you were elected, how do we,
what's the balance of giving people those things that are
like more environmentally friendly, right, but that are
also going to not put people in danger and not outsource things
to other countries? So the the vehicle itself may be
more environmentally friendly by itself, but the extraction
processes are just as damaging as as extracting oil.
We need to research different extraction processes.
We need to research different types of energy sources that are
better for the environment. We have more options.
But what we see is this monopolies created by these
corporations, and this is all money to them.
So they don't. The lithium is money, the
refineries are money, the gas is money.
Getting electric vehicles out there is money.
We can't even recycle the batteries for electric vehicles,
and they only last seven to 10 years.
So how? How bad is our landfills going
to be? How bad is our environment going
to be? We're going to destroy the
environment to create these pocket places where the wealthy
and the privileged can afford to live.
While we're stuck out here in an even more dystopian environment
trying to survive, you're muted. The electric vehicle initiative
has gone to tank. That's not going to work.
There's nothing they can do to make that work.
And I have a lot of people in the industry that like, have
talked about this because I work in the automotive industry.
And there's no possible way that's going to work because our
infrastructure cannot handle it. Like if more than five people in
a neighborhood plug their car in at the same time, it will shut
down the grid and it will create catastrophic issues in our
infrastructure. And what they really need to
focus on is the way that like 92% of the bridges and things in
America are crumbling. Not even, just like what had
just happened. But let's talk about the focus
point of the issues of there are at least 75% of people living
currently that will never adopt the electric car initiative.
And then the other 25% are privileged enough to have that
option, but it's more of a status symbol to them.
Like my neighbor got an EV car, but then you know for that
exchange there's so much labor and things that have to be
changed in your home to like make that work.
And so I just think that they create these little monopoly
like Monopoly style games where they have all the rules and all
the resources and that is going to tank.
I bet in the next 7 years to 10 years that is going to be so far
down the rabbit hole of not working because I talked to a
few different electricians and I said is electrician people, the
people they're targeting to work on electric cars or is it
automotive people? And they said just to do the
Tesla school, the certification, it's like 10 years, it's like 10
years. People should have already been
doing that 10 years ago because now these cars are on the road
and there's absolutely no one to fix them.
And there's a lot of people who ordered, pre-ordered those cyber
trucks that are speaking out like they had them for less than
three days and they already broke down.
It's not going to work. Like I know they think it's
going to work but it's not going to work.
And I always go back to like when Obama was in office and
they did that clap cash for clunkers like thing to get all
these old cars off the road. Like they've been planning this
for a while. But there are 75% of Americans
who will never adopt that initiative.
They're just not going to. They're just, you know, there's
the early adopters and then the slow adopters and the people set
in their ways. And there are 75% of Americans
who are set in their ways and are not going to make that
happen. And they built like a huge
battery plant here in Kentucky, and it's already like production
has already been shut down. They built this.
They're not doing anything with it.
There's so many other things we can do for our environment
outside of switching to electric vehicles.
We can get permeable surfaces back in our in our cities, so
the water returns to the water table where it needs to go.
We could encourage food forests, which would create natural
biodiversity and stuff within our cities.
Instead of these manicured lawns, we can do green roofs and
have more trees within the cities, more green spaces to
help the heat island effect. There's so many other easier,
more simpler logical steps that we can take to help the
environment rather than destroying the environment to
create a fancy car for somebody who has the money to buy it.
Oh my gosh. When you said that, I just
imagined like you take office and all of a sudden the US
becomes this like fairy Kingdom where like everybody's growing
vegetables in their front lawn and they have like Moss growing
on their roofs. I wouldn't mind that.
So when you like do these debates, is that something that
happens on like a like how does that work?
How? I mean, when you said you had a
debate with someone like, how does that get set up?
How do you sign up for that like?
So the Green, the Green Party of Alaska actually reached out to
me to do a debate. A lot of independent and 3rd
party candidates don't get the spotlight.
The only reason reason why RFK has a spotlight the way he does
is because one, he's a legacy name, two, he's wealthy, and
three, he started as a Democrat, got attention and then switched.
Other than that, independent third parties are really, really
hard to get on the stage, especially when they're poverty
level candidates. And so the Green Party of Alaska
reached out in an initiative to help third party voices get a
voice. So we've had three debates with
them. It was live streamed through
their YouTube channel, and I've been invited out to Alaska at
the end of June for an event that they're hosting.
And they're working on getting an in person debate with RFK
junior Jill Stein, Cornell West, myself and a couple other
candidates in person live in Houston, Alaska.
So I'm crossing my fingers that can happen.
And I'm really hoping that I get enough notoriety to debate Trump
and Biden on on on the on the main debate stage closer to the
election time. What's your opinion on Joe Biden
and his age and his health? I think I'm for age and term
limits. I think once you hit 65, you
should no longer be holding office, especially with how fast
technology is, is changing how fast our lifestyles are changing
what's expected. What's our everything is
changing, Our culture is changing so fast that once
you're 65, you're already outdated with everything that's
going on. I feel like I'm falling behind
at almost 35 with some of these things that are coming out.
I'm like, wait, how did you just do that?
And so I don't agree with with how old they are being in
office. And Congressman too, there's so
many older Congress people and Biden in general, he violates
treaties. And I know there's a lot of
people that are like Vote Blue, no matter who for our civil
rights, they're turning the blind eye to the fact that we're
losing our rights under Biden right now as he is president.
So how is that going to change if he's elected again?
It's not. I actually get really bothered
by things like that. This the past election that we
had in what was it 2020, there was a whole lot of Vote Blue no
matter what and and people really pushing that into me.
I don't like being told how I'm supposed to think, feel, react
to things. What the It's any time that
there's something really big that's happening.
If you're not doing what the mass majority of people are
doing, and you're not agreeing with what the mass majority of
people are doing, then you're an awful person and there's hateful
rhetoric spread to you. It happens with voting.
You have to vote a certain color.
You have to believe this certain thing.
You can't think for yourself. You have to do whatever the mass
of majority of people are because that's what's right for
humans. But that was a huge thing during
COVID, too. Like, no, you're not.
You're not wearing your mask while you're walking down the
street with, you know, space around you and nobody there.
You're a murderer. Oh, you're not, you know, doing
the vaccinations, whatever. You're a murderer.
And then now it's four years later and I don't see a single
fucking person saying anything about you wearing a mask, not
wearing one. Did you have the injection?
Did you not? Because that's something that is
like past and behind us. Yeah, we kind of go to extremes
in this country. I mean, the media is also to
blame for that because the media will push this rhetoric, this
story out again and again and again and again.
And the people who don't think critically will take what the
media gives them on both sides, red or blue.
They will literally take what the media gives them and run
with it. They won't Fact Check.
They'll read one news article and think they're an expert and
it takes work. You have to Fact Check.
You have to check the sources, look at from other countries
research on the same topic. It's going to be different 9
times out of 10. The same corporations that back
Democrats and Republicans are the same corporations that own
the news stations locally and nationally and they are feeding
a very specific rhetoric to the people to keep us under control.
And a lot of us are waking up to that.
And I actually tell people now to as more of us are waking up
and saying I don't want to vote for this.
And then there's people who are saying I don't want to vote for
this, but there's no. But if you say you don't want to
vote for this because you're aware of what they're doing, but
there's a butt in there and you do it anyways, you are
complicit. You are a hypocrite.
And a lot of people don't like hearing that.
But it's time that somebody finally stands up and says it.
Because if you want change, you have to actually take steps to
make that change happen. Otherwise, I don't want to hear
you complain to me because you helped it stay the way it is.
I think that's another thing that they do to keep everyone
like depressed and sad and sick and addicted to things because
we don't got no time to go out and try to make a change if your
life is crumbling on the from the inside out.
And that's where I think that, you know, since like the war on
drugs in the 70s, now drugs are like huge.
Whereas before there were very limited communities that were
exposed to certain things. Whereas now, you know, it's your
white collar, your blue collar, you're poor, you're rich,
everybody's doing drugs or everybody's doing certain
things. And I think that they keep
everybody in these loops of like negativity and depression and
anger because then that just manifests in other areas and
then they can be like well this is for your own good because XYZ
and I think that really the government is just controlled by
investment groups, by monopoly style people.
You know I have a four O 1K and they just automatically pick
what I've invested in and I got this print out and it said I was
invested in BlackRock. I just called the fucking
people. I sat down with them.
I was like hell no. I was like I know what BlackRock
does. They are the shadiest
corporation. They own everything.
They do everything. And the fact that like they just
pick that as an investment group for me it pissed me all the way
off. I mean even if it was only like
$10,000 invested, doesn't matter.
I was like I'm not investing anything in Black Rock because I
was very invested in those train derailments that were happening
across America. Because one happened in Ohio,
like really close to where I live and I was really concerned
about all of those chemicals being dumped into the water.
And I went into like a fear based type of thinking that I
had to like snap out of it because no one was ever going to
admit fault on that. Even though people in the
Workers Union or the railroad system was on strike for like a
year. And that's why they're having
all these derailments is because they don't have the inspectors
and the people that actually need to be there.
So I feel like all together our government is just like full of
lobbyists and there really isn't anyone who has any real common
sense left in the government. Like Joe Biden needs to go his
his vice president is worse, is worse.
So I would, I would hate for him to die and her take over.
Like that's what I have to think about because like I think that
Camilla lady is evil. I can just see her aura.
It is evil as hell. I don't like it and I'm a woman.
I'm like a woman supporting women.
But. I cannot stand a lot of women in
politics because I feel like they're trying to be more
manipulative than the men and like more conniving than the
men. And it's just like there's so
much back and forth. So if there was like one thing
that you really get triggered by, what would that be for in
the government or in general? I would say the government
acting like they have our best interests at heart and then
saying all these promises, not doing those promises because
they actually don't have, like the president can't, doesn't
have the power to do half the things.
A lot of these candidates, oh, I'll give you a living wage.
I'll give you free health care, free college.
The president does not have the power to do that unilaterally.
So you can't make those promises.
And then we see Biden, he's sitting here.
You know, when the workers were striking for the railroad
railroad, he stepped in and gave them one paid day of sick leave.
And now like, he got a lot of backlash for that.
But now the Secretary of Transportation is stepping up
and they're trying to make all these regulations for trains
again because it's an election year.
That's the only time they do anything is during an election
year. And then after that, the
corporate, the corporations puppet for the the rest of their
terms and people fall for it every single time.
Well, that's just kind of like crazy ass Mitch McConnell here
in Kentucky. Like you talk to the older
people like my grandparents and they have voted for this man a
fucking 100 times. And then now, finally, my
grandma's starting to wake up that like, he's not competent or
capable of representing our our state.
And finally he's going to like step down.
And it's like you blacked out on TV multiple times.
What do you mean you're stepping down?
You should be forced to step down.
There's not even been an option. It should have been like you're
out period. And it just continued.
It's just literally continued. And I honestly think that my
opinion on the government is not one person who grew up during
segregation should be allowed to be in any office.
Of any sort. I don't care if you're on the
Dean of acceptance for a fucking college.
I do not care if you grew up or were raised during segregation
period. You're not allowed to be in
there. Like that's what I would
eliminate it like I had my wish. Eliminate all of those people.
And I think a lot of biased would not eliminate them.
Like like, you know, not that way.
Take away their power. Take away their control.
Because a lot of that is where the racism and the colorism and
the sexism and all of those things like still live forward
and are passed down. You know, like right now it's
like we really need a switch where there are not ancient
people who don't know how to use a computer running this country.
I agree. Unfortunately, Congress is the
one who sets that legislation, so people don't just be focused
on the presidential election. I know that's huge.
There's a lot of congressional seats open that people are
running for right now. But go research who's running
for the seat for your county, your district, for Congress, and
vote for the one that wants term limits, age limits, living wage,
free healthcare. Vote for the ones that actually
wants to take care of the people.
Stop voting for the ones that just have their names on the
ballot because they have the money.
Even even for Congress. Any position, there's a little
line you can write in a name. So research the people who are
running and and vote outside of the two party system.
Vote outside of the old people. Vote with with intelligence and
education rather than just oh I didn't have time to research.
I'm just going to fill in a bubble on the ballot.
Well, and outside of like just the political or not political,
the presidential elections, like there are things that happen,
you know, in individual states that people don't know, don't
understand. Like I know that a a big one for
us was because I was raised, I was born and raised in
California. And so I pay attention to the
politics that are there because we left because we no longer
could handle the changing in politics and the way things are
being done inside of California and we didn't want to live with
those rules and guidelines anymore.
So paying attention to, you know, the deterioration of
different cities like San Francisco and whatnot.
And I find it personally frustrating that Gavin Newsom is
continually, you know, voted in to be in office, but he does
nothing to clean up the cities, make things better for anybody.
He doesn't do anything until there is something that's going
to be televised. Somebody's going to be coming in
and visiting, and then all of a sudden he's putting all of this
time and effort into cleaning up these cities in the areas where
somebody's going to visit. And it's like, to me, it's the
same as when Biden goes down and he goes and like, oh, I'm going
to go and visit the border or whatever.
And then all that they're showing is this one little
section of the border and talking to this one, you know,
group of people or whatever. And oh, well, look, it's a
family that, you know, is behind Biden while he's here right now.
But there's so many other parts of the border like Texas and
things like that where they're like, we're going to build our
own wall, we're going to do our own things, we're going to
protect things ourselves because we're not getting any help down
here. And you don't see, you know,
that being massively televised and him going and traveling down
there and figuring out something in person, live right there.
And it it's so frustrating seeing things that like you see
as a problem as as a person in this country.
And then when the person who or people who are in a leadership
role to make a change are only doing things that make
themselves look better as opposed to actually trying to
help the people. And it to me that's the kind of
stuff that perpetuates, like the misinformation about border
security and things like that, is that we're only showing one
thing and having one part of a conversation.
And if you have any kind of conversation about the border
and wanting there to be any kind of security, then you're racist.
You just don't want people to be able to come in and live the
American dream. You just want it to, you know,
be this like secluded space instead of it being about.
Security. I do believe that we need to
have. Oops, hold on.
Send a voicemail. Sorry, Randy.
Just am I Can you guys hear me? Did I OK?
Brandy could just call me, but I told him I had a podcast
interview. Don't call me right now.
You believe in border security? We are a nation now, whether
whether we like it or not, you know, the United States does
have borders. We do have things that we need
to do. But immigrants also come through
airlines and seaports. What we need to stop doing is
dehumanizing the immigrants that are coming over.
Because the last time we worked with, I'll use Mexico for an
example because the Texas border is terrible right now.
There's violations of human rights going on because of the
lack of oversight, because of the lack of working together.
And this one side is getting to control the narrative of what's
going on down there. And they're dehumanizing these
immigrants that are just trying to get to a safer place.
And what we can do is working with Mexico and streamline the
immigration process, making you know, the visa process easier.
Because my wife, it's been three years and we still don't have a
visa. And so, well, three years since
she's been in China, we've been married since 2019.
So it's been even longer. And she doesn't have a visa yet.
Like she has a temporary visa, but not like the permanent to be
able to stay here. And we're seeing this issue
where the process takes forever. So we need to streamline the
process for asylum seekers, refugees, work visa, travel
visas, anything like that. We need to streamline the
process and we need to work with Mexico and any other country to
help them economically. Like, hey, invest in your
businesses, invest in your infrastructure, invest in your
law enforcement, invest in your law enforcement.
Because when the economy and infrastructure improves, the
last time we did this with Mexico, the strain on the
immigration system lessened significantly because people
don't want to leave their homes, they don't want to leave their
families, they don't want to leave their cultures.
But we've the America has caused so much chaos globally with
selling military weapons. We are the reason why the drug
cartels are so bad. We are the reason why, like the
drug trader on this country is so bad because we fund.
We let military groups buy weapons from us.
Whether they're part of their government, stand alone military
groups, it doesn't matter. And that adds to the chaos and
conflict. And then people can't stay in
their home. So we need to move away from
that as well. What do you think about there
being the rhetoric that everybody who's trying to cross
our border is from Mexico though, as opposed to their
people coming in from all different countries for various
reasons? There are so many people who are
seeking asylum here for legitimate reasons, but also not
everybody that's coming into our country is because they have
some, you know, dream to come in here and add into our country
and add in to make things better.
There are people who come over here for terrorist reasons and
that there is a legitimate issue with safety.
How do we filter people out and be able to have this filtration
system to let people in who are actually going to benefit and
have something set up so that they are putting their finance
and whatever and paying taxes into our system and doing all
that and not just recouping benefits?
Because that's I think that's a huge reason that so many people
have an issue with immigration is just because they see people
getting these benefits. Like, I know that here where I
live in Idaho, we have a lot of refugees who are here from
various different countries and they're driving new cars and
they're, you know, buying the most groceries at the store and
stuff like that. And so here in Idaho, there are
a lot of people who are like, fuck immigrants and fuck
refugees and stuff like that because we're having to take
care of that. We're having to fund that.
Meanwhile, you also want to be like, well, these are people who
left some place that wasn't safe for them and they have families
and whatever, and they're needing to be taken care of.
So how do we take care of people and actually have people giving
back into our system so that we can get rid of this like
negative narration of refugees and immigrants and also help
them to have a better experience in America?
Because I can only imagine how it feels to legitimately flee
somewhere that is unsafe. Come into a country and have
people be like, well, fuck you, because there are people who
take advantage. So I want to say First off, why
you, you can't tell who is a refugee or an immigrant or
anything by looking at them. So people who see somebody
driving a car and be like, why are they driving such a nice
car? They're Mexican or they're this,
you know, the automatic assumption that they're an
immigrant on assistance or a refugee on assistance that needs
to be worked on. That's the knee jerk reaction.
It's it's it's rooted in racism. You can't look, you cannot look
at someone and tell if they are an immigrant or not.
And then also from my own experience, growing up in a
Mexican family, even illegal illegal immigrants pay taxes and
illegal immigrants can't get help through Social Security,
food stamps and stuff like that unless they break the law in
some way and get a fake Social Security card.
But many of them don't. The reason why in my family
anybody got help or really got a leg up is because the family
that was already here and established helped them.
We have family units that support units that support each
other that, you know, you need transportation to get to work.
Bet you need a place to stay. Bet we got you.
It's we look out for each other and we pay taxes.
You know, the illegal immigrants pay taxes as well and they don't
get anything back from that. And there's actually studies out
there that show that immigrants, illegal or otherwise, actually
help our economy. And so we need to start
educating people rather than spreading misinformation about
that's the dehumanizing part about immigrants.
We also need to recognize that if you're not indigenous, you're
an immigrant. And when you first came over
here, your ancestors were an illegal immigrant.
Treaties are violated every day. So we need to shift the
perspective. It's not about what they have
and what I don't have. It's about how we can work
together to make sure all of us have that.
I feel really bad for a lot of the children trying to come over
here and build a new life because in like the beginning of
migration we were considered like the melting pot where
people were welcomed and invited and accepted in some form or
fashion. But you know, our country has
been built on immigration. The industrial revolution was
fuelled by immigration. So I personally just want
everyone to pay taxes. That's all I care about.
I don't care what benefits they get, just pay taxes.
Even though the government is very manipulative with what they
do with the taxes. I just think that there should
be a level playing field. If you're encouraging
immigration to come over here so they can start a business or
expand in some way, that's fine if you're giving them benefits.
But I just want everyone to pay taxes.
Like that's my biggest issue in America is that only certain
people in the billionaire should pay more.
But there's only certain, like different tax classes that pay
the most and like being a single woman with no children.
I pay so much more than other people who have one child or are
married. And that is what I personally
think needs to be reinvented in our system because billionaires
literally have so much money that they can solve world
hunger. They should pay more taxes.
And that's where our anger should be, should be directed
not towards the other poor people but towards the
billionaires who have their tax, their their corporate tax havens
overseas where they don't pay taxes on the assets in those
accounts. We, I actually have legislation
that I'm working on, on the state level to make corporations
pay taxes on their tax havens that are in offshore bank
accounts. They have to disclose these
accounts, they have to disclose the assets that are in those
accounts and they have to pay their fair share taxes on those
assets. Of course the corporations are
going to fight back and people like, how is this going to be
enforced? Well, if we find out that
they're lying about what they have, then we can seize all of
their assets. You lie.
You get your assets seized, You pay your fair share.
You can keep operating how you are.
I really loved your answer about education, and I think that that
goes on so many different topics outside of educating on
immigration and and whatnot. But also so much of our history
here in the US has been completely skewed and changed
from the actual facts that I think that's what stems so many
arguments and division on things too, is that we're taught
inaccuracies our whole, our whole childhood and
indoctrinated into this total belief system that isn't even
real, that is so religiously based to.
Things have been changed because, Oh well, that was a
Christian person over here. So we can't have this Christian
man represented this way in our history books.
That has to be changed in this way.
And Oh well, they couldn't have pillaged over here because they
were doing things in the name of the Lord and whatever, like.
And and that's not even that goes above like a presidential
thing like, you know, can't rewrite history books as the
president, necessarily. But I think that lack of
education is something and and ignorance, like ignorance, I
think stems so much hate and perpetuates negative rhetoric.
And not being educated on things then leads to having responses
and mindsets based out of fear and hate.
And then you're spreading that down, you know, generations as
well. So there actually is something
the president can do about history books because the
secretary of education is under the executive branch and we're
the ones that set policies for what is taught in school, what
what the expectations are, what the what, what all that stuff
is. So we could actually work
together to create a new curriculum that is based on
actual factual history told by the people who, because there's
people survive. There's people alive today who
went through residential schools to the Catholic school system
where they cut their hair and beat them for speeding, their
language, speaking their language.
There's people alive today where it was illegal for them to
dance. And we need to correct those
history books. And that is one thing that I
could do as president is to teach actual history of the
United States and about the melting pot.
Why that changed historically is because colored people, people
with more melanin, started to outnumber the white people.
And so the white people started creating more legislation and
making more inequality so that they did not lose their power.
It's literally stems from racism.
And a lot of that racism is continuously being taught
through these systematic systems of oppression.
You know one thing, and this is kind of off the topic from
politics, but we all know who Kid Rock is, and he's portrayed
this like white trash persona growing up in a trailer and his
family's fucking rich. He never grew up in a trailer,
He never lived in any poverty. He never had any white trash
connection except the one that he built for himself.
And you can look up his childhood home like on Google,
and it's fucking massive. I've never lived in a house that
big, so I think a lot of people who are in power will feed you
whatever vision gets them what they need.
And that's just an example of it.
But you know the same thing with, like, a lot in politics.
Anyone who is a career politician in some way has built
their life on scamming and manipulating and hurting other
people and taking buyouts or taking vacations.
And there's no reason that any politician or billionaire should
be able to write off a yacht or any funzy activities.
You know, as a business owner, I've been learning a lot about
that, about like, what can be written off and what can't.
And, you know, I'll get advice from other business owners and
like, oh, I've write off everything.
And I'm like, I'm not going to with the government like that.
Like, I'm going to do the right thing, even if that means I pay
a little more taxes. The universe will take care of
me, like I do the right thing. But a lot of people do not do
the right thing. And that's why they're in some
position of power. And I truly believe that, like
this grand global awakening moment that we're having is
going to actively expose all of these people until they are like
sifted through the drain and all the loose ends will be revealed.
And that's the one thing that kind of keeps me hopeful and
excited is because there are people like yourself who are
trying to educate others and help others.
Even if it doesn't make sense to other people right now, I think
eventually people are going to start catching on.
And like, it's going to click one moment and they're like, oh,
that's what she meant. That's what she was talking
about. A lot of times we see a lot of
presidential candidates, even independent candidates.
I have not came across any candidate that has actually been
honest about what they can and cannot do.
They are all making false promises, selling pipe dreams,
every single one of them. And it's absolutely disgusting
in my opinion. So when I when I speak like
this, or when I tell voters that you're being hypocrites or
you're being complicit or you're doing this or you're doing that,
they're like, that's how you speak to your constituents.
We want to know if you can give us a living wage.
I'm like, well, I can't. I'm not going to butter things
that are sugar things up for you.
I'm not going to make things sweet and this pipe dream
because we're not living in in some glorious society right now.
We are struggling, we are tired, we are done.
And it's about time that someone steps up that's willing to speak
the truth and say this is what I can actually do for you.
If you elect me. I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm not going to paint this fake false picture because I can do
these things and then the rest falls to you.
Which? Is kind of like with anybody
voting for anything, whether it's student body president or,
you know, the Council of the HOA, Everyone lies and has these
promises. So I like that You're like being
honest about your intentions, 'cause I think that's rare.
And I do think that as a society, we're shifting our
reality from being very involved with the illusion.
And whether people want to see that truth or they don't want to
see that truth, it's so loud and clear in their face that you
have to see it. Like, you may not want to hear
it. You may be clinging to those old
ideas for dear life, but eventually, like, it's
crumbling. And the one thing that gives me
hope is that people are teaching their kids different, and we're
starting to have inclusive, inclusive conversations with our
children. And you know, like bullying is
being addressed across a lot of big celebrity platforms.
Like a lot of people are starting to advocate for the
little man or for the people that don't have a voice.
And I think that's what's going to really bring our country
together, like you mentioned earlier, which is exactly what I
believe. They keep us all fighting each
other. So we don't have any energy to
fight them or to fight back to the system.
It's like we're just all kind of at the mercy of the system.
But you know, my favorite thing is when people are like they're
controlling us or this and that, really, we're consenting to it.
Like we go to work, we pay our bills, we play all the rules.
We go back home, we get in our little cage and we sit here and
and whine and complain about it like they don't have to control
us. We're following the rules, we're
listening, we're obeying the system.
So I just think we need a lot of people to really wake up to
their part in that. And that's just like with me,
like looking at my 4O1K and seeing that I'm invested in
BlackRock and I was like, hell no, I'm not going to do that.
A lot of people probably don't even know that they have half of
their savings and their four O 1K invested in that company,
which is giving these people their resources to manipulate
the collective. Yeah, And you know, the more
people that wake up, the better. A lot of people believe.
You know, we're all struggling out here.
And if there's one thing that you can do to help change what
we Two things, I'm going to say two things.
Vote for who you actually want to vote for.
Don't listen to the people who are telling you that it's a
wasted vote. Don't let them take your power
away from you like that. And two, help spread the
education. Anytime you get in a debate or
talk with somebody, don't don't waver, don't back down.
Say what you're saying is wrong. Don't be like we can agree to
disagree. No, say what you're saying is
wrong there. It's not a two party system.
There are other options. We do have the power to make
change. It can happen.
Stop with the cans and the negativity.
Negativity. Just be a voice and vote.
And if we all, all of us who are tired of the bullshit, if we all
just stood together, we could literally change the face of our
government in one election and that's take.
But we all have to grow some balls and step up and do it.
Amen. Hey, man, I think that's a
beautiful place to kind of leave that message.
Jimin, are you going to pull a card for this?
I. Sure am.
I was just about to say it. Let me go grab the deck real
quick. So I just love your passion and
I love that energy of like just fucking get up and do something
about it. And I think we all could adopt A
lot of that mindset when it comes to our own happiness,
'cause I have so many people that are just always negative
about everything. That's, you know, it's a
collective struggle that we're all trying to rewire and refocus
and recalibrate. And I do think that there will
be a lot of change, but we just have to get these term limits in
place as soon as possible. And of course they don't want to
vote that in because then that takes away their power.
You know, like of course the the old slug, Mitch McConnell, like
he don't even want to step down, but he has a half brain cell
left and he's going to have to like, you know, it's just crazy
to me. Like the world is a crazy place,
but I think it's a beautiful place and I love to be able to
connect, you know, with people like yourself.
And just in general, having a podcast brings a lot of energies
in that you normally wouldn't get to understand or hear about.
So for everyone listening in the description box, we'll have
Brittany's social medias and ways that you can connect with
her personally. Absolutely.
And then in the human design card today, we got card 57.
And it's like these. I don't know what kind of plant
this is, but I'm constantly looking for these flowers and I
don't know what they are, but it's almost like, you know, when
dandelions start to do the puffing, like when you're going
to make a wish with them, it's almost like that, but like a
tree full of them. And I just, I need to find what
this is. So the sign is Libra, the gift
is equilibrium, and the shadow is white noise.
And by the way, this card fell out of the deck three different
times while I was shuffling and I was like, oh, my hand slipped
and then it fell. So this is what's meant to be To
enter the frequency of the gift means to detach from the
intensely masculine, mind centered modality of our present
reality. Unlocking the feminine powers of
your intuition expands your aura and creates space for you to
delve into your innermost truth. A harmonious balance between
both masculine and feminine energies and their respective
approaches leads you to an elevated state of awareness.
This gift is particularly focused on sound, almost as if
you can listen to the sweet melodies of your inner universe
and the next steps forward. Your shadow is white noise.
You are trapped in shadow when you are unconsciously engaged in
the collective frequency of fear.
Fear based actions born purely of the mind will allow this
frequency to fester, and a general sense of anguish will
play on a loop in the background of your subconscious.
You will fret about the future via numerous potentials for
failure and the many things that you need to do or never did.
Such anxiety acts like static white noise, a barrier between
you and your innate, yet divine. In our guidance system, your
themes are guidance, balance, expansion, and breath.
I feel a little called out by that white noise one.
I love it well. I love that card.
So grateful. You really educated me on things
that I did not know and I'm sure a lot of people listening will
feel the same. So thank you so much for your
time today, Brittany and we really are looking forward to
kind of keeping up with your journey and you know seeing
where we can support you. Gemini, is there anything you
want to close with? No, I just want to thank you so
much for coming on and for having really open discussions
about things and where we can change our mindsets and how
people can heal their thought process instead of just, well,
that's not how you should think, but actually giving reasons why.
And I really loved your response again about educating and why
it's important for us to, like, have different educations on
things And and changing people's perspectives is something that I
think you're going to do. Whether you end up winning the
election or you don't win the election, I think that you're
having a huge influence over the way that people in this country
are thinking and educating themselves about things and
breaking the indoctrinated cycles of what we are taught and
expanding our thought processes. So thank you so much.
Well, thank you for having me on here.
Honestly, I couldn't spread that education or anything like that
if people didn't give me the opportunity to have a have a
space to talk and and listen because I can't, I can't learn
as well if I'm not able to hear and listen and have discussions.
So I really appreciate you guys having me on here as well and
hearing even your perspectives because it it gives me more
things that I can think about and learn about and and start
educating about as well. So thank you.
Yeah. Well, you all know that you can
write Brittanys name in on the ballot this fall and we will
drop all of her socials in the description.
Tap in with us and we'll see you all next time in Candyland.
Bye, bye.
