1 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,400 This is Rumble with Michael Moore. 2 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400 I'm Michael worm. Welcome everyone. 3 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,100 Thanks for listening. Thanks for all the wonderful 4 00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,400 comments and things. You wrote about President, 5 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,300 Carter fact that he's entered hospice. 6 00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:33,500 I wrote my sub stacked column this week. 7 00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,400 It's an open letter to President Carter. 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,000 And if you had a chance to read it, if you haven't, you can go 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,300 on, my sub stack at Michael more.com and read it. 10 00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:44,100 And just like to talk about a few things that are on my mind 11 00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,500 today and kind of get them out of the way. 12 00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:49,900 First of all, I might as well. Start with some good news, the 13 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,400 victories against the term stirs against the Insurrection, us 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,700 against the heaters. Just continue to roll forward in 15 00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,600 the month of February, which just ended. 16 00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,100 So if you missed some of this, because there's so many other 17 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,300 things in the news every day, A lot of things, just don't make 18 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,300 it online, they don't make it on the TV news. 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,700 So before they pass Us by, I want us all to take a moment and 20 00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:15,000 I guess Pat ourselves on the back a little bit. 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Now, I know a lot of you have a hard time listening to my 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,700 podcast and reading my sub sticks. 23 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:25,400 When I try to tell you that the Republicans are toast that 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,600 they're in their final days, that the people who stand for 25 00:01:29,607 --> 00:01:33,500 democracy are winning, they're going to win that. 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,900 That while the thing we call the Democratic party, often times 27 00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,100 leaves a lot to be desired because the people running it 28 00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,700 don't know what they're doing. They have no idea sometimes who 29 00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:45,100 this country is and so their finger isn't quite on the pulse 30 00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,700 and they, you know, don't do the job, they should be doing, they 31 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:50,800 don't find the right candidates to win or, or maybe some of us 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200 should be running and we don't, and that's part of the problem 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,000 too, because if we want better candidates, we may need to look 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,100 amongst ourselves and not just waiting for the party hacks at 35 00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,500 the top to pick people for us, too. 36 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,100 Form and doesn't really work that well, does it look, I did 37 00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,100 forty four subsets that I wrote 44, essays in the 44 days, 38 00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,000 leading up to the November election, contouring, all the BS 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,700 that we were being. Told that there is going to be 40 00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:19,900 this red wave that the Republicans were going to kick 41 00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:23,700 the Democrats ass and we were going to lose the Senate. 42 00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,800 We were going to lose the house. We're going to lose all this 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,300 stuff around the country. And again I'm not really not a 44 00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,400 contrarian I don't look for. I don't look for ways to just 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,900 sort. I have say, no, I disagree. 46 00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,000 I'm over here on the other limb, I'm away from all of you who are 47 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,200 telling us how things are going to be, and I don't believe it's 48 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,600 going to be that way. But I really, again, just as I 49 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,600 tried to warn people that Trump was going to win in 2016. 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400 I gave the reasons why I wasn't just saying stuff to be 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,300 provocative or whatever. I just live in the midwest. 52 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,800 I feel like I listen to people, especially I listen to people 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,100 that are not like me or that I disagree with. 54 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:04,600 I don't spend a lot of my time actually, Them to listen to me 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,100 because that's kind of a waste of time. 56 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,900 They're locked in on what they believe in terms of a whole host 57 00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,200 of things that there's no way I could ever get them to change 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,900 their minds. So I don't waste my time doing 59 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,500 that. What I do is I believe that the 60 00:03:20,508 --> 00:03:23,900 majority of our fellow Americans actually believe in all the good 61 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:26,500 things that we believe in. But they don't vote, or they've 62 00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:30,300 given up for good reason sometimes, or they suffer 63 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,000 because of the color of their skin, the voter suppression and 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,100 the Jerry A man, during and everything that goes on. 65 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,400 And so sometimes we lose these elections. 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,100 But when there's actually, we make up the majority of this 67 00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,600 country. You know, we who believe that 68 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,300 our environment should be protected, we who don't believe 69 00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,600 in the death penalty, we who believe that we need to do 70 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,300 something about guns in this country, whole bunch of 71 00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,600 categories, whether it's our schools, whether it's our water 72 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,100 systems. I mean, you just go down the 73 00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,600 whole list countries, pretty much divided between those 74 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,300 people who I believe that we need to stand up against the 75 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,100 moneyed interests against capitalism against the greed, 76 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:14,100 whatever you want to call it. It's caused us a lot of harm. 77 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:18,399 So when a train goes off the tracks, the hilarity of watching 78 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,700 Republicans try to attack Biden for a train the train president 79 00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,700 himself. You know, when Trump and the 80 00:04:26,707 --> 00:04:32,600 Republicans and the wealthy donors for years, have fought 81 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,000 every issue. Shoe when it comes to safety, 82 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800 whether it's trains, whether it's cars, whether it's the air 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,700 were breathing or whatever, the fat cats fight us, they get the 84 00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,000 poor people, especially poor white people believing that 85 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,900 they're on their side and that they're going to be on their 86 00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,100 side with God and guns, and they're going to fight the gays 87 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,300 and all this rigmarole that we are finally winning. 88 00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,600 We're winning all these battles and I know a lot of you want to 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,500 believe, oh, we're in trouble. Oh, Trump's coming. 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,700 Back. Oh Mike. 91 00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,700 No, you don't understand. Its I live with these people. 92 00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:13,100 I work with them. Oh they're crazy Maga crazy. 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,500 Yes you're right. They are crazy. 94 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,500 Stop listening to him. Stop worrying about them. 95 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000 A majority of this country doesn't agree with them. 96 00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,700 Dave was seven of the last eight presidential elections. 97 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,100 Since George daddy, bush in 1988, okay? 98 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,400 How long ago that was? A lot of people, listen to, this 99 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,000 weren't even born yet. Seven of the eight presidential 100 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,100 election since Daddy bush in 88 have been won by the Democrats. 101 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,600 Not the Republicans. The popular vote has been won by 102 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,600 the Democrats now. Sadly a couple of Republicans 103 00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:58,500 got into the Oval Office because we have people that are corrupt 104 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,900 and we have actual laws that aren't followed, or we have 105 00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,800 legal gerrymandering and legal, voter suppression. 106 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:10,200 And until we change that the corrupt minority party, T the 107 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,600 party of the rich, they're the minority everybody else. 108 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,700 The 99% are the majority. So shouldn't their candidates 109 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,200 win every time because in seven of the last eight presidential 110 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,700 elections, the majority vote, went to them, went to the people 111 00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:33,900 that were fighting the bushes and the trumps And yet. 112 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,500 And yet, here we are. And I know a lot of you are 113 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,300 still depressed and are still worried. 114 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,300 Even after we have this great, great Victory victories in 115 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:48,000 November, there was no Red Wave. I told you we'd stop it, we not 116 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,500 only didn't lose the Senate, we picked up a vote in the Senate. 117 00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:56,000 We now have a stronger, slight majority in the Senate. 118 00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,000 Millions of his showed up to vote. 119 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Millions of us got millions of others to come to the polls. 120 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000 We won governorships, we won State houses. 121 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,800 State sentence all over the country. 122 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:14,900 We destroy these Republicans. And now the Republicans only 123 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,300 hold a 9 seat majority in the house. 124 00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:23,000 Which means any vote could flip by five votes and we would have 125 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000 the majority of votes to pass. Whatever we want in the house in 126 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,300 Congress right now, even with their so-called Republican 127 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:34,900 majority. So I'm going to, I want to just 128 00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:37,400 kick off today by giving you some more good news. 129 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,900 And again, remember, I do not belong to the Democratic party. 130 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:42,700 I don't pay dues the Democratic party. 131 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:45,300 You know? If you followed me for years, 132 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:49,800 I've been highly critical of the Democrats and there's a long 133 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:56,600 ways to go, but we've been using them as a way to beat back the 134 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,400 Trump's and the bushes and these so-called Republicans Who have 135 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,100 destroyed their own party. And now it's just a matter of 136 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:08,800 doing crime scene, clean-up essentially a bringing in 137 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,800 Servpro to wipe up the mess, they've created of themselves 138 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,700 for themselves. So we have we have more work to 139 00:08:16,707 --> 00:08:18,500 do great. We can do it. 140 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,000 We're citizens of a democracy, we still have the vote, the 141 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,700 billionaire has the same number of votes, as you, or me one, 142 00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:30,000 that's it. That's like the greatest news. 143 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,000 The billionaire. Yeah. 144 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,799 They got a ton more money than we have. 145 00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:39,500 Yeah, they own a lot of property and they owned factories and 146 00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,200 they only economy and they own this that whatever. 147 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,500 But when that, when that voting day comes and that curtain 148 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,100 closes or you send in your ballot and you seal it, you put 149 00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,300 the stamp on it. By the way, when I'm president, 150 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,000 there will be no stamps needed for your mail in ballot all 151 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,200 free. It's already that way in a 152 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,500 couple places. We need that anyway. 153 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,100 Sorry. Didn't mean to get off on that. 154 00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:08,800 What I'm telling you here is that the wealthy, each of them 155 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,100 have only one vote. And so because there's more of 156 00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:17,500 us than there are of them. We win every time or we should, 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,400 the only way we never win is because they rigged it with 158 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,100 gerrymandering and voter suppression. 159 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,900 They try to stop black and brown people from boating and they 160 00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:28,600 make it very difficult, everybody's on to them. 161 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,900 Now, the majority is onto them were on to them and bit by bit. 162 00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:34,800 We stop them and bit by bit. There is no Red Wave. 163 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,300 There are no more red waves coming my friends. 164 00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:41,700 It says it it's over. I know Mike but I don't know if 165 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:45,700 Biden can win. He sold and I just shut up. 166 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Stop it. Stop it. 167 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,100 Please come on. Oh, I almost did abide 168 00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:54,900 impersonation. Stop it. 169 00:09:55,700 --> 00:10:02,300 Stop it. You gotta love the guy. 170 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,000 Come on. Yes, he's not me. 171 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,200 He's not you. We would do things a little 172 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,600 differently. Right now, he's the club we have 173 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,000 in our hand to beat back the haters, the bigots, the white 174 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,400 supremacist, the misogynist, the gun lovers. 175 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,900 And we are going to continue to win over and over and over again 176 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:32,400 and I am not an optimist. If you see my movies I I am 177 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,800 telling you this as a person who is very aware of the predicament 178 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,700 and the predicaments that we've been in and we'll be in And it's 179 00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,600 not guaranteed anywhere that we're going to win. 180 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:49,900 I'm just saying that we hold the power in our hands and it's up 181 00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:51,800 to us whether we choose to use it. 182 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:56,300 More of us than them, more of us in a democracy means they lose 183 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,900 Simple as that except not so simple. 184 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:01,100 Right? Because we have to get out there 185 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,700 and we have to do the work as a lot. 186 00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:07,100 I just I'm sorry I got off on that tangent here but I've just 187 00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,500 I just want to give you some good news. 188 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,100 I want to tell you some incredible things that happen in 189 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:18,400 the last month in the last four weeks of the last 28 days of 190 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,500 February.

All Quiet on the Western Front. 227 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,900 Okay, so just take just listen to what I'm going to say, this 228 00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,100 is what's happened with what we'll call them Democrats 229 00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,600 because they have to run as Democrats because in a country 230 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,800 of 330 million people. We only have two political 231 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,600 parties to represent the complete spectrum of thought and 232 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,900 ideas amongst 330 million people to parties. 233 00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:44,900 All right, so that's what we have now, it won't be that way 234 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,500 in my lifetime that will change. There should be five or six 235 00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,600 political parties to cover the broad range of political 236 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,300 thinking that we Have As Americans and I believe that 237 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,400 that will happen but not tonight and not in March. 238 00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:05,400 So just listen to what has happened against the Maga crowd 239 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,800 in just a month of February. So on February 7th, 240 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,600 Pennsylvania, the Democrats swept, all three seats in three 241 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,100 special elections that were held for the Pennsylvania, state 242 00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,400 house representative made three open seats. 243 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,500 Three different districts in the state. 244 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:30,000 They won them all. And now, the Democrats control, 245 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,700 the Pennsylvania, state house, for the first time, in 12 years, 246 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:38,900 which now will allow them to block legislation from the 247 00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,900 republican-controlled state senate. 248 00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:45,200 Including the restrictions that the Republicans want to place on 249 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,500 abortion and their support of voter suppression. 250 00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:54,300 They will be unable to pass these laws because the Dems, 251 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,800 now, control the state house that happen. 252 00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:06,000 In just the last month. and then February 21st, the state of 253 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,800 Virginia, Jennifer McClellan, a Democrat won, a special election 254 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,000 for the US Congress, the 4th District in Virginia. 255 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:22,000 She did so well that she scored 13 more points than Biden did in 256 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200 the 2020 election when he got elected. 257 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,600 She all performed Biden by 13 points, became the new democrat. 258 00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,400 That will represent Virginia's, 4th District that happened on 259 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:39,300 February 21st, and she replaced the wonderful Don mceachin. 260 00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:43,300 Who died Democratic representative House of 261 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:44,500 Representatives. He died. 262 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Shortly after winning his re-election just this past 263 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,600 November. And as I told you between 2020 264 00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:59,600 and 2022, 16 members of Congress died or resigned. 265 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,500 Or disappeared or were arrested or were caught in a scandal, 266 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:11,600 whatever it was, they left or removed from Congress, 16, 267 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,800 special elections had to be held. 268 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,900 Shit happens. And special elections are held. 269 00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:22,100 That's why we have to be ready to win these special elections. 270 00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:27,000 Let me just read this from CNN. This is, this is good. 271 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000 I like this so far in 2023 besides mcclellan's victory in 272 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400 the Virginia, fourth district, the Democrat. 273 00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:39,500 They're already already just since New Year's Day. 274 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:43,800 There have been 12 special elections for State Legislative 275 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,200 seats, in which, at least one Democrat was running against one 276 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,100 Republican, and in those 12 races since New Year's Day, 277 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,800 Democrats have been outperforming Biden's 2020 278 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,100 margins by an average of Four Points. 279 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,099 I don't know, it doesn't do me any good to say I told you so 280 00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,500 because all I'm doing is quoting data. 281 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,599 That not all of these Representatives that are elected 282 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,700 in these elections. Make it to the end of their term 283 00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,700 for whatever reason. God bless them. 284 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:22,400 If they've passed on the others Scandal, sometimes they actually 285 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,500 they want to run for a higher seat. 286 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,400 They want to run for a senate seat or something else. 287 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:29,800 But they're gone. Special elections are held we 288 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,600 pick up more seats. You know, I don't like to make 289 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,900 predictions and I really don't want to make promises, but I 290 00:17:36,908 --> 00:17:40,900 told you that when we lost the house for the Republicans by 291 00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:46,200 just a few seats, a few months ago that by the end of this term 292 00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:51,200 in 2024, the Republicans will not be in control of the House 293 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,300 of Representatives. Now I don't like going out on a 294 00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:57,400 limb and saying things like this, but I what I really am 295 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,400 trying to do is give you some belief in ourselves. 296 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:08,300 The bastards now are on a tear on a losing streak. 297 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:15,400 Now that has lasted since 1988. And they only win when they lose 298 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,700 Trump. Lost the popular, vote Bush, 299 00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:24,200 lost the popular vote. So they got a special key to let 300 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,500 their white asses in because we have gerrymandering a voter 301 00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,400 suppression. It's the only reason they're 302 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800 there or were there. You're not going to be there 303 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:39,700 anymore, we're fixing us. So also in February Wisconsin 304 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000 had a primary for their state supreme court. 305 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,400 Very important their supreme court because they're just one 306 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,800 vote off from giving women their rights back. 307 00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:53,600 So, there's going to be a runoff in April, in the state of 308 00:18:53,608 --> 00:18:56,100 Wisconsin. So, basically the top two, 309 00:18:56,100 --> 00:19:01,100 vote-getters were a very liberal Justice and a very conservative 310 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:04,900 justice. So this is a big election in 311 00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:08,300 April for Supreme Court in Wisconsin, it will determine 312 00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:11,700 whether or not women get their rights back to control their own 313 00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:14,100 bodies. Anything you can do to be 314 00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:19,300 supportive of the groups in Wisconsin to win in April just 315 00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:20,500 like we've been winning. Ting. 316 00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:25,400 We let's let's win this one too. Okay, on February 21st. 317 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,100 What happened? New Hampshire and New Hampshire 318 00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:32,000 incumbent Democrat. Chuck grassy not Grassley not 319 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,700 the guy on the Midwest. Chuck Grassi was re-elected to 320 00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:39,700 the New Hampshire House of Representatives in a special 321 00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:45,000 election after the 2022, midterm race back in November and it in 322 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,600 a tie vote a tie vote. For a state house, seat. 323 00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:53,300 So thousands voted and ended up in a tie. 324 00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:55,800 So, if you think your vote doesn't count a single vote, 325 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,300 doesn't count. He would have had to go through 326 00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:04,900 this special election, Chuck grassy, but he did anyone on 327 00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:09,300 February 21st, another Democratic Victory also, on 328 00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:14,200 February 21st in Kentucky. One of our favorite red States. 329 00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:21,200 The Democrat Cassie Armstrong. She won a special election to 330 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,600 fill a vacant senate seat in Louisville's District 19. 331 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,500 Another Democratic win in a red state. 332 00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:36,300 If you remember from our our podcast series, that we started 333 00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:41,600 over the holidays blue dots in a Red Sea. 12 episodes. 334 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,300 I gave you a how we are going to start winning in red towns, red, 335 00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:51,700 counties, red States. And it started with the November 336 00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:56,100 election. It started with the ballot 337 00:20:56,100 --> 00:21:00,300 proposals in Kansas and Kentucky and Montana. 338 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,200 Troy, I don't need to explain those three states to you. 339 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:11,300 Do I I mean burning man, you know the Woodstock Summer of 340 00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,800 Love, doesn't have anything to do with those those three 341 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,600 states. They're all red States. 342 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,000 And they all voted to support in some way or another a woman's 343 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,900 right to choose a woman's right to control her own body. 344 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,800 Right to life. They kick their ass, right? 345 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,900 They don't believe in a right to life. 346 00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:36,600 They believe in a right to misery and a right to force, God 347 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,800 down your throat, their God and blue, I could tell you there, 348 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,200 God, whatever it is that they've created, the god of hate. 349 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,400 What would what would a god of hate be called? 350 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,100 Who is the god of hate? Where does the god of hate 351 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:02,000 reside? It's feeling a little warm. 352 00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:13,200 Let me just leave it there.

I want to play you something on 428 00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:31,500 that was on American Idol, this past Sunday, maybe you've seen 429 00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,900 this, it's getting passed around, but this being an audio 430 00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:37,200 podcast. If you want to watch the clip, 431 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,300 I'll put the link to it on my podcast page here. 432 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,400 But in the meantime, I just want you to hear this. 433 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,200 So This Is American Idol and you know, they have people come in 434 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,500 amateurs perform and they hope to get selected and eventually 435 00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:53,200 be voted by the American public who watch the show as the 436 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,000 American Idol. Get a record deal on whatever. 437 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,200 Anyways, there's three judges.

You know, why he decided to try 441 00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,200 out for American Idol? I just want to play this for 442 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,400 you.

If you're just listen to the 446 00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:32,500 audio of this, you're not going to be able to see Katy Perry but 447 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,700 she essentially loses it and collapses. 448 00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:39,100 Her head just goes down on the desk. 449 00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:42,600 She can't look she can't look up. 450 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,000 It was so riveting. And so moving and it's just a 451 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,200 small moment. But very indicative of the time 452 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,400 in which we live and I hope 50 or 100 years from now of the 453 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,700 planet still around and they still have the digital tape they 454 00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:11,100 can watch try and understand.

It number two is, as I said 459 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:36,500 before, I'm from Santa, Fe Texas and may 2018 a gunman walked 460 00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:43,000 into my school.

No, because you have to go 472 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,400 through them. I agree. 473 00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:49,100 He did have to lose eight friends. 474 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,600 I hope that you remind people that we have to change because 475 00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:03,700 you know, it's terrible, Katie, it's horrible. 476 00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:11,100 We have tolerated this for so long. 477 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:17,000 Do all has become a norm that we've got to change my grade, 478 00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:21,400 and I hope you can just lead, zoomy that sell for my school 479 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,800 for you and God this ma'am. Thank you, yes, ma'am. 480 00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:35,500 I know we began the episode with all my good news here about how 481 00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,500 the Republicans the mega heads. The trumpeters are getting 482 00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:42,000 crushed in all these special elections that have started to 483 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,400 be held here and will continue to be held every month between 484 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,600 now and the end of 2020 for elections that we're going to 485 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,700 win and keep winning. And I know to end this with a 486 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,800 clip from American Idol, was probably difficult for some 487 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,500 people to listen to. But I'm not going to shut up 488 00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:06,300 about this issue.
