This is Rumble with Michael Moore and I'm Michael Moore.
5G, right? We've been inundated with
commercials for the last year on 5G, Wireless from Verizon and
AT&T. While the head of the pilots
Union, airline pilots has said that 5G, is going to interfere
with a particular radio device that's in.
Every cockpit that tells the pilot, how close to the ground
that the plane is, you know, until it says Okay, we're at
1,000 feet from the ground, where 100 feet were 50 feet.
They got to know exactly how close this plane is flying to
the ground. Obviously, 5G apparently doesn't
allow that that piece of radio equipment to work in the
cockpit. So so the Air Line Pilots
Association and others have been begging for months to slow this
5G thing down or to remove it from anywhere within a couple of
miles from an airport. Well, of course, AT&T I'm Risin
they don't want you to not have your 5G when you're at the
airport. So they're risking their risking
a pilot, not being able to get the information that she or he
needs to land the plane safely. This is crazy.
I mean, they've already done this in Europe, you know, France
and other countries, you know, like you got to be at least a
couple of miles away from the airport.
So it doesn't interfere with the airline Communications not here.
We're not here. And so just as we were, you
know, preparing this while I was waiting for the jackhammering to
stop. A thing came across a bulletin
across the phone here saying that they're going to put a
pause at some of the airports on some of these antennas so that
the planes don't crash. Some of the airport's, some of
the planes. Some what the where are we?
What is going on? I mean, seriously.
I, you know, it's and if it's if it's not that it's something
else. I mean they announced you can go
to the this website that's connected with the US Postal
Service. That's our, United States Post
Office to order for at-home test kits.
Which is an enough, but that's going to be beside the point
here. You can order them in the post
office will deliver them to you. Does anybody think that the post
office that Donald Trump created and where we still have Trump's
Postmaster General? This loony tune of a guy who has
no postal experience other than he wrote a check to Trump for
his campaign. So Trump made him Postmaster
General. Does anybody think that that 300
million Americans getting a home test kit for covid?
Is that this is going to happen? I feel so bad for by, don't know
why he's even announcing this. He's announcing a depending on
Trump's Postmaster General, getting everybody at home test
kit. We all know this isn't going to
happen. I mean you could, you know,
write me a couple days when you have your test kits and and I'll
apologize for suggesting that this isn't going to happen but
if we can't even get it together, To put the 5G antennas
in the right place so that a plane doesn't crash.
I mean what has happened to us? What has happened to us?
It's it it's just one thing after another, isn't it?
and what a week or two weeks, this has been I mean, the
Supreme Court. the Supreme Court as we all know is planning to
issue their decree, probably in June maybe before then That
women will no longer have a universal Federal, right?
To end a pregnancy that they don't want to remove a
fertilized egg from themselves. Not a human being fertilized,
egg, and, and they're going to do that.
A lot of women are going to die as a result of that.
We're going to go back to the old days.
Some of you are too young to remember the old days back in
the old days. If you got pregnant, when
abortion was illegal, you either tried to self-abort, IE,
mutilate, yourself and many women were permanently harmed.
Couldn't have babies after that and died.
Or they want to what was called a back alley abortion.
In other words, somebody is not a doctor but who is willing to
perform an abortion on you, you know, in their home and their
apartment on the kitchen table, whatever, that's the way it used
to be and women died. So they're getting ready to
issue this decision in a few months to kill off a bunch of
these women who would dare to have an abortion.
But this Supreme Court thought, you know what, why do we have to
wait till June to start killing people?
Why don't we start now? And so last week, they blocked,
President Biden's order that corporations with more than 100
employees have to require that those employees.
If they're coming to work, have to be vaccinated or they have to
test on a weekly basis, or whatever, which by the way is an
isn't enough. So so that means once that, that
mandate was removed. And they, by the way that is
supported by the majority of corporations in this country
they some corporations have already started to order the
employees to be vaccinated because not being vaccinated is
bad for business because when they have let the unvaccinated
show up to work and infect other people or get infected
themselves productivity goes down.
Corporate America, isn't able to make the things they'd like to
make, which primarily is money because they've got all these
sick people now because of the unvaccinated coming to work.
So they just go on ahead, all kinds of Corporations, big
corporations have gone ahead and said no if you're going to work
here you have to be vaccinated or you have to quit.
That has in some ways helped. In these companies helped
prevent the deadly virus from taking hold, but the Supreme
Court said that Biden. Can't do what the majority of
Corporations would already wish. He would do, which is issue the
Mandate that you can't work here around other people, if you're
not going to get vaccinated. You know, for the people who I
know, you know, I know you like me, I know you like my movies
and you're very upset at hearing me, say this about about the
virus and about the vaccines. I'm, I'm sorry to tell you that,
I just don't think you're right. And I think you're causing harm
to other people. I watch this great basketball
player, Kyrie Irving at a press conference after the Brooklyn
Nets, basketball game. And he said, look, I you know,
they let their let him play. In places other than Brooklyn,
New York City will not allow players to play if they're not
vaccinated, but you can, you can you can play the game in Phoenix
and you can play the game in Chicago and Detroit and
elsewhere. So so they let Kyrie Irving
play. When they're at away games, the
Brooklyn Nets do. And he said last night, he made
quite an impassioned case as to why he's not vaccinated and why
he won't get vaccinated. I heard him and I know that he's
trying to do what he thinks is best.
He has a right to do what he thinks is best until he doesn't
and you don't get to decide whether or not you're going to
be vaccinated because we're getting close to a million dead
Americans, and millions and millions more around this world.
You don't get to say I have a right to go and infect other
people and if you've bought all the bologna, that's on the
internet about this about the vaccine.
This is the safest vaccine we've ever had.
I can understand like the old vaccines, like polio or whatever
they needed in order for those vaccines to work, they, in order
to trick your body into creating an immunity to polio or smallpox
or whatever, they give you a little bit of Of the polio in
the vaccine, not enough, so that you'll get polio.
You imagine how hard that was convinced?
Our parents that they all take us in to get polio shots?
When the in the shot was going to be a little bit of polio in
the covid shot. There's no covid.
It's a whole new and they started working on this that
when Trump said, let's work on this, they started back in 2003
probably before them, but when SARS be was a real epidemic in
certain countries. They started working on.
We've got to create a vaccine for the coronavirus, we're going
to get more of these. And so they've been working on
this for 17, 18 years, it's mRNA and there's no covid in the
shot. They invented a A way to again,
trick the body into creating an immunity to covid without
putting covid. In our bodies, there's never
been a safer vaccine and now hundreds of millions have gotten
the vaccine around the world. And you don't see people
dropping like flies and they're still having babies.
And they're all this is everything.
You've been reading about this. You have been lied to by crazy
people. Anyways, I can and I wasn't
going to spend any time on this today.
I really just wanted to say kudos to the Supreme Court for
getting rid of Biden's vaccine mandate which will result in the
deaths of God knows how many hundreds of thousands of other
Americans. The killer Supreme Court, the
Trump Court 1/3 appointed by Trump.
And they're going to kill women, starting in June.
But they're trying to kill us. Now stopping this, this vaccine
mandate that even Corporate America says that we need I like
this just doing a solo podcast. I haven't done one of these in a
while here in Rumble. And I like, I like I'm
imagining. I'm really just right there with
you in the car and your living room, just talking to you.
Is it the, the intimacy of it? I appreciate maybe we all
appreciate that. A little more during these two
years where we've had to spend a lot of time alone and not seeing
family, and friends. And Whatever.
So, in the sense that there are, she's I don't know, what do we
have? Close to 600 700 thousand on
this list and any given time there's 150,000 listening to
this podcast. I just want to say how much I
appreciate you letting me into your earbuds so we can have
those little chat, of course. I guess it's what one way check
because I don't get to hear what you're saying, but You're
always, welcome to leave me a voicemail.
It's right here on the page where you are.
Listening to me. There is a phone number, as my
voicemail, and it allows, for one minute voice.
Man, I love to hear from you, I love getting these voicemails
and, and in another week or two of those of you who are paid
members of my of my sub stack, here, we will do another one of
our Q&A sessions together. But I just I like, I like being
able to talk to you about a few things going on and the main
thing I wanted to talk about today is what's going on in this
in the Senate right now, over these next couple three days
which is the Voting Rights bills that were trying to get passed.
And I want to get into that with you here right now, except I
need to give a shout out to a couple of our Underwriters who
are helping to sponsor. This podcast, help us pay the
bills and and and get the word out to you.

are wanting to support having my voice out there in this form to
the general public. So let me just, let me give a
thank you and tell you about a couple of them right now and

Rumble much appreciated. So back to the issue of the day
here and that is our voting rights in the United States of
America. They started yesterday debating
this on the floor of the United States Senate.
And it continues today as I'm recording this, there probably
will be some procedural votes today and tomorrow Senator Chuck
Schumer. The Authority leader in the
Senate is trying a number of workarounds so that the
filibuster can be removed for this one vote or other ways in
to get around this anti-democratic anti-democracy
thing. We call the filibuster We're a
minority of votes in the Senate get to kill an entire bill.
So that's that's what's going on.
So what's been going on right now and not with much success,
of course all the pundits are, you know, pretty much they
pronounce this bill or bills dead for many weeks but Schumer
in the Democrats seem to have not given up on it.
But when I say that I really want to be completely honest
with what I've been witnessing. Yes, the Democrats with the
exception of mansion and Cinema. Manchin of West Virginia and
Cinema of Arizona who are who say they support voting rights
but don't want to do anything to help this bill, get passed, but
it makes it seem like the other 48 Democrats or The Independents
who caucus with the Democrats. Like this is a, this is an
important bill to them that they want to get past.
And I've watched some of their floor speeches and you know,
they've been sending out their literature to us via email.
You're on, sadly, one of those lists, where everybody sends you
everything. About how you know, much, they
support voting rights and stopping the racist policies
that have been enacted by the new policies.
At least 19 states, that are going to make it more difficult
for poor people old people, and people of color to vote in this
year's election and in elections after this.
But here's the thing if and if you think I'm being too harsh in
just say, Oh, but I just I yes, of course, all of these
Democrats support voting rights but where where's the real sense
of urgency? Where is the clamor?
Where is the demonstration? Where are the marches?
Where is the call for the public to take to the Frozen streets of
America right now and all of us. Get out there and do something
about this. There's none of that going on.
You take a Democratic senator like Dianne Feinstein from
California? I haven't seen her do anything
to Rally the millions of Americans who in every poll say
that they support these voting rights bills.
I don't mean to pick on her, I'm just saying, pick anybody pick
Gary Peters from my State in Michigan, pick any of a number
of Democrats. In the Senate.
And where have they been? Where are they today?
Where is the call for action? Where is is the the spark for
people to rise up non-violently? So that our voices are heard on
this issue of voting rights. I don't see it.
You see it? I see speeches, I see pundits, I
see them going on cable news. All good.
But something like this is never going to pass, unless unless we
have the fever. The desire.
And that, that is heard all around the country.
That's not happening. Why is it happening?
Are Democrats just sort of taking the position they're
supposed to take, you know and they of course have no.
They believed it and all that but they don't.
Nobody seems to really want to risk anything.
To get this passed. Well, when I say nobody, I'm
talking mostly about white people, I guess.
I've seen a lot of people of color, especially black
Americans. Over this last week or two.
Out in the streets. In front of the capitol.
In front of federal buildings. Demanding.
That the Voting Rights Act be reinstated.
This all began in 1965 when Congress.
That's the house and the Senate, both voted to pass the Voting
Rights Act of 1965 the first time that it was ever legislated
and made into law. The fact that everybody,
everybody had a right to vote and nobody was supposed to come
up with any rules or methods. Or Shenanigans to keep them from
voting. 1965 and I wrote in my sub stack letter this week, the
story of how I was present as a little eleven-year-old kid, my
mom and taking my sisters and I down to Washington, d.c. because
she wanted to show us our government and how it worked.
And so yes, that was summer vacation for us, I know.
But little but how cool though. He had a mother and 1965 But
load her 11 year old ten-year-old and eight-year-old
children into the car. Our dad had to had to work,
couldn't get off from the factory.
So she took us down there and didn't really know what was
going to be happening. But, you know, back then just as
you can now, you can go to your, your member of Congress has
office or your Senator's office and can get these free passes.
Where you can get seats in the gallery.
The little balcony, that looks down over the house in the
Senate and watch what's going on.
And she did that. And she took us in there and in
one of the galleries I believe it was the Senate.
In this particular week in July, we was July of 1965, the Senate
was debating, a new bill and idea that people have come up
with called Medicare Medicare and Medicaid.
Where the federal government would.
Make sure that the elderly and the poor Would not go bankrupt
and not lose their home. From now on their medical bills
would be paid most of them. By the federal government.
It was an amazing idea. And there are many people that
didn't like it called, it socialism, communism, whatever.
But here we were in the summer of 1965 and I was kids, were,
were there in the Senate watching this debate and this
bill being passed? That gave us Medicare and
Medicaid. It was it was really it was
really something and and in that same week or so week or two, we
were there. There was also a debate and
votes being taken on whether or not to pass the Voting Rights
Act of 1965. And we watch that I'm an 11 year
old kid up there. Leaning over the balcony
railing. Watching these Congress people
debate, whether or not everybody had a right to vote and asking
my mom, a lot of questions, like, why, why are we even
talking about this? Well, she explains.
This is a lot, a lot, a lot of bad treatment for a lot of
people when they try to vote. and so my sisters and I were
Witnesses, To the Voting Rights Act of 1965 being passed.
And you can read all about. I wrote, I wrote a letter about
this column and just go to Michael more.com and the piece
is called. I was there.
And I am here, and you can read the story of our trip to
Washington. D.c. so every 10 years or so,
after 1965 Congress had to renew, The Voting Rights Act and
they did. They did they renewed it four or
five times? And I'm I'm talking about
Republicans, renewing it. Some of these votes were near
unanimous. Over the years.
In fact, the actual Voting Rights Act of 1965.
I think the first vote on it in the Senate there were 77 votes
in favor of It. Ultimately 79.
Only two Republicans voted against the Voting Rights Act.
The original one 1965 in the in the United States Senate.
That is how far we've come and how far we've sunk.
So when Barack Obama was elected president, the Republicans
decided on day one that they would support nothing.
Of what he wanted to do. And it was very difficult for
Obama to get anything through the senate or the house.
And in 2013, United States Supreme Court, essentially
throughout much of the Voting Rights Act.
That had been in place since 1965.
And said it's up to Congress to pass this again or or to fix it
or whatever and so since then we we really haven't had a Voting
Rights Act and all attempts to pass one have failed because the
Republicans have come together here over these last eight or
nine years to stop any kind of Voting Rights bill from being
passed and they are doing it right up until this moment.
Moment that I'm recording this right now.
They're there in the United States Senate and all of them
all 50 Republican US, senators. Have decided to stop this to
block this bill. Every single one of them.
It's stunning, isn't it? You'd think at least one. you
know, people like to hang on to this belief that there are some
good Republicans certainly you know Mitt Romney will stand up
for black people and people of color poor people, certainly
Susan Collins, we'll certainly the senator from Alaska will And
then, they don't. And they are all planning to
vote against this bill. And even though we have 51
votes, if you believe Cinema and Mansion are for, The Voting
Rights Act. So we have 50 and we have the
one we need because the when it's a tie vote, vice president,
United States is she's also the considered the president of the
Senate. So she gets the vote and it
would be a 5150 vote. But that's not going to happen
because mansion in cinema aren't going to support majority.
Rule 51 250 is called, that's majority 51 is the majority and
they're not going to support that.
They're going to back the Republican position on the
filibuster. And so here we are 50
Republicans and these two Democrats call themselves
Democrats. And it's so infuriating.
I'm I can't believe I've gone in my lifetime as an
eleven-year-old seeing this. Incredible bill pass, only two
Republicans against voting rights.
Some 57 years ago. And then this, I've lived to see
this We're not only that the ACT is gone, any attempt to create a
new act calling it, The John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the
other. I mean, and oh man, if you've
read this bill, they've combined them.
Now, is one bill, so many great things in terms of what we did
this in Michigan, in 2018, we passed a constitutional
amendment that allow for same-day voter registration.
You could show up to vote on election date.
If you weren't registered, you could register right then That
allows for, you know, a few weeks of early voting because
we've, we've doubled the number of people in this country since
1965. So the lines are long and
they're longer in places that have black Americans there to
vote the this one. Think Tank did a survey and
found that in Black precincts. The wait in line is 10 times as
long as the wait in line in white precincts.
Ten times, this is crazy. That means, if you're a white
person, let's say you do have to stand in line for an hour, it's
a long line. To vote on voting day.
Black Americans have to stand in line for 10 hours, that's not
unusual. That, if you're African-American
that, you will stand for five, six, seven, eight, nine hours.
And just to just to punish These communities of color.
They've, they've, they've insisted that.
Not only the number of days you get to vote be shortened.
The early voting gets shortened in these new laws in these
states. That nobody can bring you water
or food while you're in line, you can't leave the line.
To go get water or food or pick up the kids from school and get
them home than just, somebody saved your place in line.
You could back to it know, it's illegal now in these states.
Wow, it's just it goes on and on like this and it's all intended
of course for the Republicans to hold on to what little power.
They have left, because more and more Americans have decided they
don't want Republicans, running the country.
As I've pointed out before there have been eight elections since
the election of George Bush. The first in 1988 eight
elections since then that's 34 years ago, Presidential
elections, eight of them, in seven of them.
The majority of the American people have voted for the
Democrat. even though two times because of are racist Electoral
College set up, Two of those times with bush and Gore, the
Republican, who lost the election.
Got to be seated in the white house as president and then
again in 2016 when Hillary won the popular vote and Trump
though when's the Electoral College and he gets to be
president. So take those two popular votes
where the Democrat didn't get to become president. and then add 5
more of these elections since Bush the first, You've got seven
elections where the Democrat has won the presidency of the United
States according to the American people voting.
And the Republicans won at once 2004, and they want to just buy
one State, Ohio, and only by 100,000 votes or so, that's it.
Clearly, the American people have spoken when you look at
the, the population of the states that Democratic senators,
represent millions and millions more.
People in the United States have voted for a Democratic senator
than a republican one, same thing for the House of
Representatives. I think it's about a seven
million vote difference between those who voted in Democratic
districts versus those who voted in Republican districts.
And yet, here we are, Democrats can't get things passed in
Congress. Biden is stymied every step of
the way and we have an outrageous Supreme Court.
That's republican-dominated. A third of the court appointed
by Donald Trump. It is disgusting.
It is embarrassing. What does the rest of the world
think of us? we call ourselves a democracy
but those who have the majority of the votes, don't get to have
a say, We have a majority in the US Senate that say therefore the
Voting Rights bill and yet there won't be one this week.
The Democrats, look defeated. I mean I don't know by the time
you're will see this. You may or may not be able to
turn on C-Span and watch some of this but it's and our poor
President, Joe Biden. Is has already admitted defeat.
And he's more hunched over. He's more dejected.
His tone is not one of rallying the troops, but rather
acknowledging the place of defeat that he's in And and the
Republicans are talking like they're going to win the midterm
elections. This coming November, And they
may I don't think they will if if we the people all show up and
if we the people are willing to tolerate the roadblocks that are
going to be in front of us, in order to vote, right up into an
including election day. If we're willing to do that,
we'll pull this off in November. but that's only going to happen
if we run the right candidates, If we get out there and get our
neighbors and friends and family and co-workers, and Co students
to get out there and vote. And as I've suggested the states
that will put a ballot measure or two on the ballot, that will
help bring out the base of the democratic party.
If you have a ballot measure, this November sign the
petitions, get on the ballot. There's still time for it to
legalize marijuana to Outlaw gerrymandering to raise the
minimum wage to pass again. The Equal Rights Amendment.
I mean, there's a whole bunch of things that we will win, if that
ballot. It measures on the ballot.
And then once in their people more than likely will vote for
the Democrat for Senate for congress for local offices.
And it's it's in our hands. I mean, if we wait, if we wait
for the official Democratic party.
If we wait for Biden to come out of his Funk, this won't happen.
We have to do this, we have to do this in our neighborhoods, in
our schools, and our workplaces. We have to organize people, we
have to make sure they're registered to vote.
We have to support and do whatever we can do.
To make this happen in November. I mean there's still time if you
want to call your Senator and and tell her or him how you
expect them to be voting or call any Senator?
Let them know there's a live operator right now on duty.
He or she will connect you to your Senator.
If you don't know the name of your Senator just tell him your
state will connect you and they'll either be a live person
in the office or if there's too many calls coming in, you'll get
a tape recording and you'll avoid mail and you'll be able to
leave a message. You can call the US Senate right
now. Here's the here's the phone
number 200 to 225 3121. One, I'll give it to you again,
200 to 225 3121. Even if it seems like defeat,
it's our voice must always be heard.
You must always take a stand. They need to know we're out
here. They need to know where the
majority and they need to know. We're going to show up in
November. Let's just take one more second
here to think our last underwriter of the day.

These Republicans, wow. This this is a dead party.
This is a party. That hates this country.
That favors all the wrong things.
Republicans weren't always like this.
I mean, I didn't agree with them on anything.
Well, I don't agree with the Democrats on a lot of things,
but these Republicans on such a basic issue in a democracy, the
right to vote, and to make voting easy and to end to make
sure that every voice is heard. What is more important.
I mean you could say well the defense of the country is more
important. And yes of course we were
attacked. T', you want to be defended.
But if you're if while you're defending the country, if you
ever have to stop and ask exactly what is it, I'm
defending because this is a country that won't even support
the right of everyone to vote and to vote without harassment.
I mean, really, if that's what we've come to, if that's what
we've sunk to And if it's the Republicans that have brought us
down and I know some of you listen to this, you know, you
voted for Republicans. You've thought of yourself is a
liberal Republican or whatever that is.
Those days are gone. This party really has to go.
This is the anti-American party, and for those of you who still
love this country and you say disagree with me, you disagree
with the positions that I take or that I fight for it.
Great, but go and form a new party form.
Something that supports your belief system.
But this party that is still beholden to the defeated former
president. Hopefully the defeated soon to
be in. Aided former president.
If that's all the Republicans have become now where they just
kowtow to him. Why are you part of it?
And if you are a part of it, then that means you believe in
the racist things that they now believe in.
It means you're a climate denier.
It means now don't say to me. Oh no, no Mike.
I believe it that the the environmental issue here.
This is real. I believe in it.
Yeah. Okay sure.
Well y-you still voting and supporting these people.
That are killing the planet. That are making life difficult
for people. We can't get through covid
because of all this nonsense that's going on.
Did you see that report? This week that Oxfam the
charity, they put together that since the pandemic began in
March of 2020 almost two years now that in these two years, the
10 wealthiest humans on Earth. Their net worth has gone from a
combined seven hundred billions just 10 10 guys, mostly 10.
I think they're all guys, 10, guys.
And at the beginning of the pandemic, they were worth 700
billion together and now their wealth is gone up to 1.5
trillion. The pandemic has been very, very
good to them. It's been very, very good to
real estate. and and and what has happened to the rest of the
people, 99% of the people on the planet, their income their
wealth, their worth financial worth, Has gone down. 99% have
seen the drop. This amazing.
That during a global plague, the wealthy the rich got richer.
And everybody else. Is in a struggle.
All kinds of stroll, Financial struggle, struggle with her kids
schools. Everything in the midst of all
this, these Republicans They've done everything to block.
The other parts of Biden's, human infrastructure, Bill, the
things that will help parents families kids, Old people, poor
people. All those things in his what he
calls his build back better. Bill, they've essentially
blocked. That that's seems to be Gone
With the Wind at this point. And they're going to try to hold
onto the power because they know the American people no longer
want them, the majority don't vote for them anymore.
So the only way they could hold on to power is to stop as many
black people. Hispanic people other people of
color. Young people, old people, all of
that it's they know their days are numbered these Republicans
and they're not going to, they're not going to go down
without a fight. In the fight is to try to
prevent people who usually vote for Democrats.
To make it harder for them to vote.
And that's what we're facing here today and tomorrow.
And this is what is so disgusting and appalling that
they would debase our democracy like this.
My friends, you know, we're just all going to have to be more
active, more busy, we're going to have to raise money to help
people in these poor communities, to be able to vote
come November. We're gonna have to get out the
vote. I know a lot of you are sick and
tired of all this, the fight has gone on too long now, we're just
trying to stay alive, so we don't get this virus.
Trying to raise kids in this era, it's all I know.
I know, I know. But what's the choice?
I can't tell you how many people have said to me, they've turned
off the news and I don't blame them.
They're just trying to get a little bit of peace and Sanity.
But while we're looking for peace, and Sanity, and a break.
The enemy, the people who are, who hate this constitution, who
hate people that are not white, the old way, the Old Guard,
they're very active and they're very busy, and they're spending
a lot of money. And they're going to try to do
everything they can. It's the only way they can win
is to cheat. You just every time they talk
about the this last election being rigged, you're cheating or
whatever, when it was the, it's so many different groups and
judges and everything have determined its.
The, it was the most honest election where all the votes
were counted correctly and when they've done a recount, all they
have found Really are more votes for Biden.
It's they know their time is up. People who do demographics and
studies and all this are predicting our around 2040.
To the majority of this country will no longer be white.
The majority will be people of color.
We're just 20 years away from that, from the year that we're
in right now. And, and the people who are
frightened by that, they are working overtime to hold onto as
much power. And as much money as they can.
And the only way to stop them is for us to stop them, get
involved, get involved form your own neighborhood group.
Do whatever it is. You can do starting this week
this month. Get those ballot.
Proposals on, it will bring out voters who vote for the
Democrats, send. Biden a note to cheer him up.
Come on, dude. Don't give up now.
The majority of Americans are with you, on every single one of
these issues. Look at any poll.
The majority support Paid Family, Leave.
They support a raise. In the minimum wage, they
support an equal rights amendment for women, go down the
list, the majority of Americans support. the positions that Joe
Biden and the Democrats have taken In such as Joe Biden.
It's from from way on the left to the middle of the Democrats
of and even some Republicans support these things, an end to
mass incarceration, legalizing marijuana things like this, you
know, We can build the movement and the movements that are
necessary for this to happen. We've done it before, we can do
it again and there is no time to waste my friends.
Republican party. Enjoy your final days.
This can't hold. This can't last.
I know that in my heart of hearts as hard as this may be
right now, I know that we Will Rise Above This.
And take control of the country that the majority of the people,
the kind of country, they want it to be.
That's the way it's going to be and you can get on board with
that or not. I invite you to get on board.
Well that's about it for today. I've really enjoyed doing one of
these solo podcast with you and talking to you directly.
There's a lot going on. I know there's there are many
fights that were in and many fights ahead of us.
I don't want you to give up. I don't want you to fall into
despair here. Our history is full of taking
two steps forward and one step back.
Sometimes three steps back but in the end, we've come out in
better shape that has to continue.
We're lucky that we have a younger generation that is
active. That is educated, that is
concerned and they will not tolerate.
This kind of behavior anymore. So to the younger people who are
listening teenagers and young adults, thank you for everything
that you have been doing in these recent years.
It's your voice that must be heard.
It's your voice that we must all support.
And I'm I have I have a belief. That we will beat back.
This bigotry will beat back ignorance when it comes to our
environment will be back. A lot of these things and we'll
make it better for all of us. And for the generations to come,
it will not happen on its own. Everybody has to play a part
even a small part. I will continue to do that.
I thank all of you who listen to this.
