1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:15,300 Lift, every voice and sing till Earth and Heaven ring ring with 2 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:55,200 the harmonies of rejoicing. That was Alicia Keys singing, 3 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,500 the black national anthem, otherwise known as lift, every 4 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,300 voice and sing. I'm Michael Moore. 5 00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,200 And this is my podcast Rumble with Michael Moore. 6 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,900 Thank you for joining me here Juneteenth June 19th. 7 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,100 It's the second year of this day being recognized as a federal 8 00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,900 national holiday. President Biden signed this into 9 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,300 law with his executive order last year on June. 17th, just 10 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,000 two days before Juneteenth. So there were, there really 11 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,300 wasn't a lot of time to plan to do much around Juneteenth, 12 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,100 unless you are already doing that. 13 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,400 Black Americans have been recognizing and celebrating this 14 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,600 day for many years. Over these years, I've attended 15 00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:45,300 various Juneteenth, celebrations parties, whatever that I've been 16 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:48,900 invited to often times. It was to help raise money for 17 00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,100 black candidates, but the fact now that this This is an actual 18 00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:57,100 official federal holiday is pretty amazing. 19 00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,200 And it's due in large part to the efforts of one woman who is 20 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,700 now 95 years old in Galveston. Texas, her name is oh, Polly and 21 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,699 for years and years and years, she's fought to have this day 22 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,000 recognized as a national holiday. 23 00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,200 A number of states had already recognized it, but not the 24 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,300 federal government. So, Joe Biden said, well, I'm 25 00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,700 going to do it and he did it. If we follow through on this 26 00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,000 promise, oh Polly was there at the signing ceremony last year? 27 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000 She was handed the pen. And now, we have this new 28 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,800 national holiday like all new things. 29 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,700 This will take a little bit of time to catch on in the white 30 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600 Community, but I'm confident that majority of white people 31 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,400 will be happy to participate. In this 47 states have already 32 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,000 made this a state holiday but only in 17 of them to the state 33 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,100 workers. Actually get the day off and get 34 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:52,100 paid for it. So there's a ways to go. 35 00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:54,200 Go there but still it's pretty significant. 36 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,700 I think that 47 states have at least acknowledged the stay. 37 00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:01,700 Now what is this day if you don't already know, this is the 38 00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,700 day in 1865. So on June 19th, we're talking 39 00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:08,600 about 1865. Well, two and a half, almost 40 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,800 two, and a half months after the end of the Civil War and of 41 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,700 course, after the assassination of President Lincoln, no word of 42 00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:18,800 this Proclamation had ever gotten down to Galveston. 43 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,900 That the the slaves were now free but Lincoln had signed 44 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,600 this. Proclamation was made legal on 45 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,500 January 1st 1863. So to already been like two and 46 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,900 a half years, you know, Galveston is way way down at the 47 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:36,200 very if you follow the curve along the Gulf of Mexico and 48 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800 Texas. You go all the way down to the 49 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,800 end of that here in Galveston. And black people did not know 50 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,100 that their freedom legally and because the South lost the war 51 00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:55,000 was now a reality. And so Celebrations ensued and 52 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,900 obviously if you were an enslaved black person in this 53 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,300 country, I can't imagine what that after a few hundred years 54 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,700 of this. The first slave ship landed 55 00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:16,500 there in Virginia in 1619 year before the Mayflower So since 56 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:21,500 that time various black Americans have celebrated, the 57 00:04:21,507 --> 00:04:24,900 state most of us white people never heard of it didn't know 58 00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:30,200 about it only maybe in recent times if you were somewhat aware 59 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,700 connected to what was going on, you knew about it. 60 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:36,700 So oh Polly for years. I mean I think starting in her 61 00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:40,400 80s she did this two and a half mile walk to represent the two 62 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,900 and a half years that black people in Galveston. 63 00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:47,900 Did not know that they were Free course, they were supposed to 64 00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:51,700 have always been free. It's it's it's weird talking 65 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:55,000 about this because we, as Americans don't really want to 66 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000 come to grips with our, our history. 67 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,600 And we've seen in the last couple of years, white parents, 68 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,300 packing school board meetings to try and make sure that critical 69 00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:09,000 race Theory. They don't even know what that 70 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,800 is but they think they know. It sounds awful sounds like the 71 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,300 school's want to blame way people. 72 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,500 Because you know, why blame us with? 73 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000 And of course, yes, awesome. Meaning Us in 2022. 74 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000 We were not there, but we have benefited greatly as white 75 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,300 people. Let's just be honest from what 76 00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,400 our white ancestors did. And the genocide that was 77 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,900 committed to seize this country from its native peoples. 78 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,800 And then to build it on the backs of enslaved, human beings 79 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,900 that were kidnapped from Africa and went through all sorts of 80 00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,500 horror and hell when they arrived here in this country. 81 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,100 To not acknowledge that in that want to teach that just to seems 82 00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,700 pretty ridiculous. So that's why I think it's 83 00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:55,200 important for us to talk about this to acknowledge it to take 84 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,100 advantage of it. I would like to encourage all 85 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,600 the states to make this paid day off for their state workers. 86 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,100 And I'd like to encourage businesses and schools. 87 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:10,500 Let's close down on this day and use the day to participate in 88 00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,900 all kinds of things. Whether it's celebrations or 89 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:16,400 tietjens, especially with our kids So that they know their 90 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:21,200 true American history. And I think that I think it's 91 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,700 also important because we need to remind ourselves daily weekly 92 00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,900 monthly basis that we still have not fixed this problem. 93 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,700 That we still live in a society of serious and equities and that 94 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:40,000 black men and women and children, occupy the lowest 95 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,300 rungs of our economic ladder are social ladder, everything that 96 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:47,400 we still haven't fixed, and what a great thing to use this day, 97 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,700 every year, as a way to check in to see what have we done in the 98 00:06:50,707 --> 00:06:54,500 last year to make this better for our fellow citizens. 99 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Whose ancestors came from Africa. 100 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,700 Came from sound. So sweet. 101 00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:05,600 Doesn't it? Whose ancestors were kidnapped 102 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:12,300 imprisoned. Beaten raped killed lynched. 103 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,400 There's so much left to do. We've done a lot. 104 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,300 Let's acknowledge that but we're nowhere near where we need to 105 00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,300 be. So we have to keep doing this 106 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,900 and we have to figure out how to fix it. 107 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,300 So that the Level Playing Field that we always say, we have what 108 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:33,400 we don't is truly level. So that whether you're black or 109 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,100 white or brown or whatever you are in this country, you've got 110 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,400 the same equal shot. And don't we all believe in 111 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,500 that. I mean isn't that what's just 112 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:46,000 called basic fairness, but you see it's not going to happen on 113 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600 its own and it's not going to happen if those specially those 114 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,800 of us who are white, don't get up, get involved and make it 115 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,900 happen. So that is my plea for you today 116 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:01,400 on this holiday that we all do that. 117 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,700 I will continue to do that. If we do this all together will 118 00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:11,300 be in better shape and will have less shame in terms of how we 119 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:15,200 constructed this country and the sad sad situation that we still 120 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,800 see in this day and age. So happy Juneteenth everybody. 121 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,800 Let's make this a thing every year and throughout the year. 122 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:25,600 Let's do the work that needs to be. 123 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:30,000 Done to make sure that there's equal pay is equal opportunity 124 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,600 that we end this vicious mass incarceration system that we 125 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,799 have. That is extremely racist. 126 00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:40,900 All the work that so many people are doing to make these things 127 00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:42,900 happen. Let's join in with them. 128 00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:46,900 Start locally, do that. So we don't just have another 129 00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:49,000 holiday. We actually have action. 130 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:54,500 Back in 2019 before the pandemic congresswoman, Barbara Lee from 131 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:58,800 Oakland California asked me if I would come out and be our guest 132 00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:03,100 speaker at her, annual Juneteenth celebration that she 133 00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,300 has there in Oakland, and I said, yes. 134 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,900 And then something happened. I think I was in the middle of 135 00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:11,700 filming something. I couldn't make it and a few 136 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,000 weeks before I had to let her know. 137 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,100 But I said, I promise, I will be there next year on June 19th 138 00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,900 2020. And of course, as We Know No 139 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:25,800 nothing happened that year 2020, then twenty, twenty one twenty 140 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,000 twenty two still haven't flown on a plane yet but I'm about to 141 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,600 do that.

It's Paul McCartney's 80th 206 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:47,200 birthday and that just didn't seem possible to me that he is 207 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,800 80 years old. Just amazing. 208 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:54,800 I don't know if you saw the Peter Jackson documentary. 209 00:13:55,900 --> 00:14:00,400 This year was almost eight hours long and they divided up into 210 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:07,900 three different sections on Apple Plus TV and it was called 211 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:10,200 I think he just called it get back. 212 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,400 It was a reworking of the Let It Be film. 213 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:20,600 That was made back in 1969 and 70 they filmed Final sessions of 214 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,000 The Beatles and they made a film called Let It Be. 215 00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:27,500 I believe it won the Oscar for best documentary. 216 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,100 My mind doesn't feel me here, but it left, it left an 217 00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:35,100 impression of seeing the Beatles kind of at their worst in her 218 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,200 final days, not getting along hating to go into the studio 219 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,900 recording music, going through the motions. 220 00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:44,700 I think, if you saw the movie, you know what I'm talking about, 221 00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:48,400 or you may be right about it. And then I watch this a few 222 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,400 months ago, this New is actually back in thing around 223 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,000 Thanksgiving when it was released. 224 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:57,700 And it blew my mind. Peter Jackson, they gave him 225 00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,600 complete access to all the footage that was shot back. 226 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800 Then, not just the hour-and-a-half. 227 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,400 Do you see in this movie? And he put together a film, that 228 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,600 tells an entirely different story. 229 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:19,200 Not one of rancor and anger toward each other, but a film, 230 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,200 is it just a mansion sound? This is the, this is a film 231 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,400 about the same sessions film by the same filmmakers, at that 232 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,500 time, back in the late 60s, and 70s. 233 00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:35,000 And what you see in this version with all the extra footage that 234 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Peter Jackson has put into, this is a group of people that loved 235 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,800 each other. They kind of knew it was coming 236 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,200 to an end, and what there was wasn't ranked her anger, there 237 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,700 was a sadness that, you know, they were no longer teenagers, 238 00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:59,800 they were well into their 20s. Or I think a couple of them 239 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,500 might have been 30 years old at that time, and or near 30 and 240 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:09,800 it's a beautiful beautiful film. If you haven't seen it, you 241 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,500 can't watch. Watch it. 242 00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,400 And once one sitting, you've got to, you do have to break it up. 243 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,300 Like you got to watch two and a half hours of it, three 244 00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:21,000 different times, but it is so so amazing and beautiful. 245 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,600 You get an inside, look at the creative process. 246 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,600 And you see the creativity that takes place when people actually 247 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,600 do love each other as close friends as comrades. 248 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,700 As musical Geniuses, you know, I've gone back. 249 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:41,800 I have to I want to go back home. 250 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,100 Watch it actually a third time because it's so amazing. 251 00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:51,200 And Paul, first of all, you'll have a whole different view the 252 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,500 way Yoko Ono was made out in the media. 253 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800 Oh, she, she broke up the Beatles. 254 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:03,500 Such a lie and you see her loving nature hurt her, genius, 255 00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:07,800 her creativity. It was amazing and the love 256 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,099 between her and John's. Just such a beautiful thing to 257 00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:12,599 watch and a lot of times, they didn't know the camera was on 258 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,599 them. And the thing about Paul, you 259 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:21,800 really see that, you know, I think a lot of people thought of 260 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,599 John is maybe I mean he sort of did put the band together and 261 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,900 and was the leader of it and that sense. 262 00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:32,700 But but they're really there wasn't a leader in the in the 263 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:39,000 way that you see, Paul All in this working so hard to keep the 264 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,900 group together. And even though he had his own 265 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:45,700 thoughts and feelings about maybe it was time to, you know, 266 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:47,700 move on. He didn't want to move on, 267 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:52,500 without doing this last project putting on a live concert of 268 00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:56,400 sorts filming it. So that there would be this 269 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,900 record of this last great album. And in the case of when you see 270 00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:04,300 the film, it's being recorded at a time that they're also doing 271 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:05,800 Abbey Road. They've just come out of the 272 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,800 White Album so you see they're still working on and things even 273 00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:13,800 it seems after These albums are done, but Paul. 274 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,900 I was just blown away and mesmerised by his ability to try 275 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:27,600 to make it work. And to respect his bandmates and 276 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,800 to make sure the others didn't get down on Yoko being present 277 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800 at these sessions where they recording. 278 00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:38,600 You know, he'd been a friend with John since he was 15 years 279 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,100 old. And it John loved Yoko that was 280 00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:47,800 good enough for Paul and and he thought it was good that Yoko 281 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,100 was. There was good for John because 282 00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,600 that's what you want. If you're really friends, you 283 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,400 want what's best for your friend? 284 00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,700 I just had a whole new appreciation and admiration 285 00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:04,500 reverence for Paul McCartney and it just reminded me of something 286 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:10,700 I have learned over the years. Never believe what the Press is 287 00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:13,300 telling you about famous people about celebrities. 288 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,200 It is often 180 degrees the opposite of what you're being 289 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,100 told. I sat there, you know, I'm 290 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,200 jaw-dropping at a Paul McCartney. 291 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,800 I'd never seen, never heard about never read about and I 292 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,200 felt so grateful for him for having this idea to do this last 293 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,600 film to do this, Let It Be film that in this game, with Peter 294 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,500 Jackson style called get back. But wow, you're going to, you're 295 00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:48,700 going to see something that will make you think about just even 296 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,300 Our own life. Of what friendship means. 297 00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:58,400 What Loyalty means to the people that you love and care about. 298 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:04,100 And how you don't give up and Paul would not give up. 299 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,400 It was a beautiful thing to see in a beautiful thing to learn 300 00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,000 about Paul McCartney and I'm happy, I get a chance to say 301 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,600 this on his 80th birthday. I've never met him, but Paul. 302 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,200 I just want to share one thing here a year or so after the 303 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,800 Beatles broke up Paul and Linda McCartney came to New York, he 304 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,700 and John wanted to get back together. 305 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:37,000 Wanted a friendship and it went so well that later in January, 306 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,500 Paul flew, back to New York, to be with John and Yoko and to 307 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:44,600 talk politics and to just to get re-energized hanging out in 308 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:51,900 Greenwich Village, so he's so he's there, there he's there on 309 00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:58,900 in the last weekend of January of 72 and word comes over the 310 00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:06,000 news that in Derry Northern Ireland, British troops opened 311 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,700 fire on a non-violent civil rights demonstration by the 312 00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:15,000 Catholic minority and the army soldiers, just sprayed bullets 313 00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:21,200 and killed 13 of These picketers shot him dead and shot. 314 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,800 A whole bunch of others who fortunately didn't die. 315 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,500 You might have heard of it. Historically, it's called Bloody 316 00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:32,600 Sunday. And Paul writes, a song calls 317 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,400 up. His bandmates wings and says, 318 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,100 I'm flying back with let's book The Emi Studios and Abbey Road 319 00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,700 or whatever. And let's make this our first 320 00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:47,300 single and they agreed, and the song was called, give Ireland 321 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,500 back to the Irish right away. They recorded this and very 322 00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,600 quickly got this out as the first single by Paul McCartney 323 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,800 and Wings a very Uncle song, something he was not known for. 324 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:06,000 And of course, the Press went crazy, they trashed him, the BBC 325 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,300 band, the song, a lot of radio stations in the United States 326 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,300 would not play the song. I remember the first time I 327 00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:17,800 heard the song I was so stunned and so moved by it. 328 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,000 So I thought what I do here on his birthday today is play a 329 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,300 song. I'm sure many of you have never 330 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:27,100 heard. It's very hard to find the song. 331 00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:32,500 It Got put on an album when they did the re-release of the Wings 332 00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:36,800 album Wildlife some 20 years later in the 1990s. 333 00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:39,400 So I'm going to play this the best version. 334 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,600 I could find a bit. It's a little rough little raw 335 00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:45,900 and to be fair Northern Ireland is not in the shape that it was 336 00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:48,500 in back. Then the Good Friday agreement 337 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:52,700 and all the things that happen to try and stem the violence and 338 00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:56,800 get the British to back off a bit and to try to respect the 339 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,900 rights of the Catholic minority. T things aren't completely 340 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:01,500 fixed. They're like they aren't fixed 341 00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:04,000 here, but there has been positive movement. 342 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,200 So, I play this song with the understanding that, maybe it 343 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,400 isn't a song that would be played on the radio today or 344 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,100 whatever, but I think it's an important piece of Paul 345 00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:20,600 McCartney's history.

So as we all know here in the 385 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:24,100 United States, any day, now any hour now, the Supreme Court is 386 00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:29,900 going to remove the Reproductive Rights from 51% of the 387 00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:33,800 population. Women are about to once again be 388 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,000 reminded that they are second-class citizens in this 389 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,800 country that they hold very little power politically. 390 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,300 Only 25% of Congress is female. They hold very little power 391 00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:47,800 economically. They generally do not run our 392 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,000 corporations or Wall Street or are banks, and they are the 393 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,600 working class, they don't make as much as men and therefore 394 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,900 they have to get by with less. And as we learned a month or two 395 00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:06,600 ago, they've already written the opinion to make abortion 396 00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:12,000 illegal. A crime to declare that the 397 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,600 moment in egg is fertilized by a sperm that is a human being and 398 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,500 they will assess the appropriate penalties for any woman or 399 00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,600 Doctor Who a woman who has an abortion or a doctor who 400 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,000 performs one were going back to the Dark Ages here, folks. 401 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,000 And I know a lot of us have been upset about this the past few 402 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,900 months were about to get clobbered really hard. 403 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,000 And I want to talk about just for a minute or so are just what 404 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,100 are we going to do? What are we going to do about 405 00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,200 this? And we have to be ready, 406 00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:48,000 literally, this could happen at any moment. 407 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,000 If we do not respond immediately upon the announcement. 408 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,800 At. They have taken these rights 409 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,800 away from the women of this country. 410 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,400 That's all the other side needs to see how weak we are, even 411 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,100 though we're the majority in this country, those who take the 412 00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,000 political positions we have, we represent the majority. 413 00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,100 And yet, we're going to let them get away with this. 414 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,300 They are going to get away with it until they don't get away 415 00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:20,500 with it. Because we're, we're smart 416 00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:24,700 enough to figure out how to fight back and how to protect 417 00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:27,400 women and how to make this legal, and how to remove these 418 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,600 bastards come November. So that we can pass an actual 419 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,100 law that should have been passed along time ago. 420 00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:36,000 No, thanks to the Democrats who didn't do this. 421 00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:40,800 And so now, now we're stuck with a senate that still Republican. 422 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,700 I mean it's yes officialy. We have with the vice president, 423 00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:48,200 we have 51 of the 100 votes but we also have a couple of 424 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,000 Democrats who are really Republicans. 425 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,100 So you know, we can't count on them, we have to act immediately 426 00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:57,400 my friends. We cannot sit back on this. 427 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,100 And, and you need to call your friends, family members, 428 00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,100 schoolmates co-workers, and make a plan. 429 00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:08,300 Now with each other saying, as soon as this is announced, we 430 00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:12,600 find out what the plan is from. The local groups that are going 431 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,200 to have a March or a demonstration or rally in front 432 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,400 of the Federal Building in your town, whatever it is and the 433 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,900 women's March and their website. They've been very good about 434 00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:28,100 posting everything that's going on in in hundreds of towns. 435 00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:31,300 Across the country. So I encourage you not out, you 436 00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:35,200 could all have a link right here on my podcast platform page, you 437 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800 can click on that link and see what's going on in your area. 438 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,900 And if nothing is going on yet in your area plan something 439 00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:44,600 right now. Don't wait till the day whether 440 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,900 it's this week or next week, when the Supreme Court makes 441 00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:52,400 this announcement organized, put things up, put things online, 442 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:56,000 contact groups. Let's just all agree here in our 443 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,300 little Podunk town that You know, that the night of the 444 00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:02,900 Supreme Court announcement at 7 p.m. that night, were all going 445 00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:06,400 to gather some place and we're going to be loud. 446 00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:10,800 Our voices will be heard. We are the majority of this 447 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:16,100 country and we are not going to let a majority Catholic Supreme 448 00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:20,800 Court with their conservative Catholic, religious reasons. 449 00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,100 That's right. Six of the Supreme nine Supreme 450 00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:29,400 Court members were raised Catholic and five of them still 451 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:36,000 are Catholic, and they're going to impose on us the beliefs of 452 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,700 the Catholic Church which say that a fertilized egg is a human 453 00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:44,100 being, it is not science. We know that it's not what it 454 00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:47,200 is. Is it's a fertilized egg and 455 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,800 then it becomes a fetus and then when it is able to live outside 456 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,400 its mother's womb, Womb, then it's a human being but not until 457 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,100 then. And they're going to try and 458 00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:03,100 impose Catholic Doctrine on us. When the very first amendment to 459 00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:06,000 this constitution, the very first line of it says Congress 460 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,600 shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion. 461 00:34:11,699 --> 00:34:13,699 And yet, we're going to have a ruling come down. 462 00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,199 That is an Edict of the Catholic Church. 463 00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:21,699 I'm speaking of somebody who was raised Catholic and who is a 464 00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:26,100 recovering Catholic, I'm just telling you my friends that this 465 00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:31,100 must not be allowed to happen, please. 466 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,199 And let's not be silent about this and it's not just one 467 00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,400 demonstration. It's not just, it's a whole 468 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,300 bunch of things that we have to do from now to November. 469 00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:44,900 And then after November, after we get the right people elected 470 00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,699 I'm telling you my friends. It's time to fire up. 471 00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:53,400 Get ready to go, non-violently. We are going to take this thing 472 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,000 down. We're not going to allow this to 473 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,500 pass. So check out the women's March 474 00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:04,000 site, check out what's going on locally in your town and if 475 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,900 nothing's going on make something happen but plan on 476 00:35:06,900 --> 00:35:09,400 doing it. Now soon as you're done with 477 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,200 this just start calling some friends plan to go together to 478 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,900 whatever is going to happen that night. 479 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,700 Please please, please. They can't get away with this. 480 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,300 We can't let this happen. I want to close with testimony. 481 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,000 That was given in Congress by representative Lucy, Macbeth the 482 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,500 sort of came out of nowhere. Nobody knew she was going to say 483 00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:45,200 what she said, tell the story that she told. 484 00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:53,500 But I was so moved by it and I wanted to play this here on my 485 00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:56,400 podcast. It doesn't, it doesn't go more 486 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,500 than I don't know. Five or six minutes long but but 487 00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:05,400 I need I need you to please listen to this. 488 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,300 It's not a story of abortion. It's a story of miscarriage and 489 00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:14,400 what she went through. And then wondering now with 490 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,500 these new laws that have been passed, Past and many many 491 00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:19,600 states. With this ruling that's going to 492 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:25,000 come down for the Supreme Court. The danger that women are going 493 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,500 to be in. The power. 494 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,300 The police are going to have to arrest you. 495 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,900 When possibly, you actually did have a miscarriage, but but the 496 00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:39,000 fingers have been pointed at you Some religious neighbor says 497 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 that wasn't a miscarriage. She had an abortion. 498 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:45,500 This is very powerful. I want you to listen to this and 499 00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:49,900 please share my podcast here so that people can can hear this. 500 00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:53,200 This is representative. Lucy Macbeth in our United 501 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,600 States Congress, like so many women in America. 502 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,200 For years, I struggled to get pregnant my husband and I we 503 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,000 tried everything that we could do to start a family of our own, 504 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,300 and finally, we were successful. I had never been so happy and I 505 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:16,300 prayed for this moment for so many years I wanted to tell 506 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:18,800 everyone. I just wanted to shout it from 507 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,700 all of the mountain tops for weeks. 508 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,200 I began to dream about our life and our future together. 509 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,300 And then one day, I woke up covered in blood. 510 00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:37,000 It's hard to describe the agony of a miscarriage. 511 00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:41,300 It's heartbreak. It's helplessness. 512 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,900 It's pain and its profound sadness. 513 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400 Millions of women suffer from them. 514 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:55,200 And I've heard from many who felt guilty, like I did, Who 515 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,800 felt as though that we weren't worthy of having a child. 516 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,200 Those are the same feelings that crept through my mind. 517 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,300 And every time I've had these difficult discussions with other 518 00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:11,900 women, I remind them that they are strong and that they are 519 00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:18,300 powerful beyond measure and that their worth is far more than 520 00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:22,900 their ability to procreate. However, it seems those in 521 00:38:22,900 --> 00:38:30,200 support of this ruling disagree. After my second miscarriage, I 522 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,300 wandered in my grief. Again, if God had decided I was 523 00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:38,700 never meant to be a mother. So when I finally got pregnant 524 00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:45,300 again I was overjoyed. It was as if I believe that God 525 00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,400 was giving me and my husband finally. 526 00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:53,600 He had a plan for us to be parents. but after four months, 527 00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:00,200 While feeling Terror and Trauma, in my heart, I was rushed to the 528 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:05,000 emergency room. They are with my doctor and my 529 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,100 husband. I learned that I had suffered a 530 00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:14,800 fetal demise or a stillbirth. There, again, I was filled with 531 00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:21,200 anguish and sorrow and guilt and I tried so hard and still. 532 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,600 I felt like I failed trying to be a mother. 533 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,800 My doctor thought it would be better to and safer, to, in the 534 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,700 pregnancy naturally without the medicines. 535 00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:40,000 So, commonly used. So, for two weeks, I carried my 536 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,900 dead fetus and waited for me to go into labor. 537 00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:49,700 For two weeks, people pass me on the street. 538 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,600 Telling me how beautiful I looked. 539 00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:58,600 Asking how far along I was. And say that they were so 540 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,500 excited for me and my future with my child. 541 00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:09,300 For two weeks. I carried a loss pregnancy and 542 00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:15,700 the torment that comes with it. I never went into labor on my 543 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:20,600 own. When my doctor finally induced 544 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,900 me? I face the pain of Labor without 545 00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:32,100 hope for a living child. This is my story. 546 00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:41,400 It's uniquely my story and yet it's not so unique, millions of 547 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:47,600 women in America women in this room, women at your homes and 548 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,800 women, you love and cherish have suffered a miscarriage. 549 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:58,000 And so I ask on behalf of these women after which failed 550 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,900 pregnancies, should I have been imprisoned Would it have been 551 00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:06,900 after the first miscarriage? After doctors, use what would be 552 00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:09,700 an illegal drug to abort the loss fetus? 553 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,800 Would you have put me in jail after the second miscarriage? 554 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,500 Perhaps that would have been the time forced to reflect in 555 00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:24,000 confinement at the guilt. I felt the guilt that so many 556 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,900 women feel after losing their pregnancies. 557 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:34,600 Or would you have put me behind bars after my stillbirth? 558 00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:39,400 After I was forced to carry a dead fetus for weeks after 559 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,000 asking God, if I was ever going to be able to raise a child, and 560 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,300 I ask because the same medicine used to treat my failed 561 00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:48,200 pregnancies. It's the same medicine States, 562 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,200 like Texas would make it illegal. 563 00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:55,900 I ask because if Alabama makes abortion murder, does it make 564 00:41:56,900 --> 00:42:02,000 miscarriage manslaughter? I ask because I want to know if 565 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,400 the next woman who has a miscarriage at 3 months, if she 566 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,800 will be forced to carry her dead fetus to term. 567 00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:16,400 So for the women in your life, Whose stories, you do not know 568 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,200 for the women across the country, whose lives, you may 569 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,200 not understand. And for the women, in America, 570 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,800 who have gone through things, you simply cannot comprehend. 571 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,500 I say to you, this women's rights are human rights. 572 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,400 Reproductive. Health Care is Healthcare, and 573 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,300 medical decisions should be made by women and those that they 574 00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:45,900 trust not To politicians and officials. 575 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,200 We have a choice. We can be the nation that rolls 576 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,800 back. The clock that rolls back the 577 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,700 rights of women and that strips them of their very Liberty, or 578 00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:59,100 we can be the nation of choice. The nation where every woman can 579 00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:04,700 make her own choice. Freedom is our right to choose. 580 00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:09,300 Powerful powerful. Powerful. 581 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000 My friends. Let's not let this happen to our 582 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:20,400 country. Let's not let Trump, his three 583 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,300 appointees, one third of the court appointed by Trump. 584 00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:27,100 More than half of the Court trying to establish Catholic 585 00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:31,600 Doctrine and enforce it. Against the people of this 586 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,600 country. If you sit this one out, if you 587 00:43:35,607 --> 00:43:37,400 just let them get away with this. 588 00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:39,300 What else would you let them get it. 589 00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:42,000 Probably anything, right? That's not who you are. 590 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,800 I know you. We're not going to let this 591 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,200 happen. They may get away with it for a 592 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,500 few months. But we have to rise up here. 593 00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:02,300 because if we don't do it this time, if we just let it happen, 594 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,700 if we're just too exhausted from covid and and four years of 595 00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:14,000 trump and Trump still in the news every single day, And you 596 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,200 just I know you don't want to watch the news and I want to 597 00:44:16,207 --> 00:44:20,900 just please leave me alone. No, sorry. 598 00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:24,500 You don't get to say that. I'm sorry. 599 00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:27,000 I have to say it that way to you, but we are all in this 600 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,500 together. And this is our country. 601 00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:36,600 Not these weirdos who are trying to impose their religious 602 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:41,600 beliefs on us. This is our country, the vast 603 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,100 majority of this country supports Roe v--, Wade, supports 604 00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:49,200 legal. Abortion supports women having 605 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,100 the right to control their own bodies. 606 00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:56,000 That's the vast. Vast majority of us over seventy 607 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,900 percent.
