1 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,280 Why does Donald Trump hate Catholics? 2 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,119 This is Michael Moore. This is my podcast and I, I woke 3 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:33,640 up this morning thinking about this. 4 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,440 It's like, what's his thing about the Catholics? 5 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:45,640 Why they hate, I mean, the viciousness toward Catholics 6 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,440 Putting that out there that the Catholics of Springfield, OH are 7 00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:01,200 eating cats and dogs, killing people's pets, oh, and taking 8 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,800 everybody's jobs and, you know, living off welfare and all the 9 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,840 other vicious, vicious things, vicious anti Catholic statements 10 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,800 from him. And, and this is this is just 11 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,080 the latest. This is nothing new. 12 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,760 This has been going on since he came down that golden escalator 13 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,960 in June of 2015, stood to the microphone there and and went on 14 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:37,000 and on about Catholics being rapists and drug dealers and all 15 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,280 sorts of criminals lining up at our border, our southern border, 16 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,680 to get into our country, to bring their Catholic criminal 17 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,600 ways into our country. And it didn't matter where they 18 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,200 were coming from, all through Latin America, Central America, 19 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Mexico, Venezuela, Venezuela. He's nuts about Venezuela. 20 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,880 He's like, they're like the worst thing since the Soviet 21 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,639 Union. I just looked it up today. 22 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,400 It's 98% Catholic. So the Catholics are attacking 23 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,800 us from Venezuela. The Catholics are lining up at 24 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,920 our borders, sneaking into our country. 25 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,840 They've somehow found a way to trick us into letting them into 26 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,760 the God Bless America city of Springfield. 27 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,600 OH, Springfield, anywhere. They've probably got so many 28 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160 Catholics invading so many Springfield. 29 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,640 You know there's 38 Springfields in this country, 50 states, 38 30 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,840 Springfields. Now multiply that by how many 31 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,720 Catholics? Folks, I'm telling you, we are 32 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,160 under siege from Catholics. And what are we doing about it? 33 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,360 I mean, Trump has got everybody frightened by what these 34 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,840 Catholics are doing to our country. 35 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040 Remember, he used to say they were from the shithole 36 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040 countries, Catholic after Catholic after Catholic after 37 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Catholic. And nobody's upset at him saying 38 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,960 this. This is nothing I don't 39 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840 understand. They're just like he's saying 40 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,520 all this about Catholics murdering people's pets and 41 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,400 eating them and nobody says anything about it. 42 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,240 He is accusing literally 10s of thousands of Catholics of doing 43 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,720 this. Where's the Catholic Church? 44 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,360 Why isn't the Catholic Church standing up for itself saying 45 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,640 something about this? All we hear from the Pope now 46 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,760 are homophobic statements. It's like the Pope and his, I 47 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,600 think, been a pretty, you know, decent guy. 48 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,240 And now is this what happens? Just like they just get older. 49 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Is this what's going to happen to all of us? 50 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,160 We're never going to be able to win a debate. 51 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,960 We're just going to start making homophobic statements at age 88 52 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,320 or 89. Where's the Pope on this? 53 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Why isn't he standing up for the Catholics of Springfield? 54 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Oh I, I know, see that. I get why Trump doesn't call 55 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,600 them Catholics. That's really what he's saying 56 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,960 calls them Haitians. And the majority of Haitians are 57 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,840 are Catholics. It's a Catholic country. 58 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Or as the, as the saying goes, amongst Haitians we are 90% 59 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,720 Catholic, 10% Protestant and 100% voodoo. 60 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640 That's an inside joke amongst Haitians. 61 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,520 But, but seriously, doesn't he? He calls them Haitians. 62 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,040 They are Haitians. They are, they're from a country 63 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200 named Haiti. But you want to know something 64 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640 that's older than Haiti? The friggin Catholic Church, 65 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,920 it's 2024 years old. That's what they are. 66 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,200 They're Catholics, French explorers and others who 67 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:27,760 kidnapped African people, brought them to Haiti, forced 68 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,080 them to be Catholics. They went along with it. 69 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Otherwise they would be killed or hung or raped or well, they 70 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240 did all those things too, but they still had to be Catholic. 71 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,120 Then they were Catholic. And within a generation or two, 72 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,120 everybody's speaking French, everybody's speaking Catholic 73 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:54,560 stuff, Dominus hobiskum. And so it's a Catholic country 74 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,640 just like the majority of people throughout all of South America, 75 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,840 Central America, large part of North America, we call Mexico, 76 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,640 but also a large part of the United States. 77 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,160 Isn't it odd you're running for president of the United States? 78 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,760 And if you go down and look at the list of all the I'm not, I'm 79 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,200 not going to group the Protestants all into 11 80 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,000 religion, OK, there, there's Baptists, there's Methodists, 81 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000 there's Presbyterians, there's Episcopalians, there's I'm sorry 82 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 if I left out one of your Protestant groups, but 83 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,280 basically, you know who you are, OK? 84 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,600 Those are all the different Protestant religions. 85 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,400 But then the Catholic religion, see, we don't. 86 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,720 We don't. I mean, yes, there's the Greek 87 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Orthodox, there's a, you know, sects of Catholics, but 88 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,440 basically it's just one church. That's Catholic Church 89 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,120 headquarters are in Rome and a little country inside Rome 90 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,800 called the Vatican. OK. 91 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,840 And the number one religion in the United States is Catholic. 92 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,320 It's something like, you know, there's 40 million Catholics in 93 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680 this country or there's 40%. I get it all mixed up because 94 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,720 I'm mostly, you know, from Irish Catholic parents, grandparents, 95 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,880 great grandparents, a little bit of Scottish in there, you know, 96 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,880 the real rebels, right? All right, whatever, we'll 97 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,720 figure this out, whether it's 40% or 40 million or how about 98 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,520 this? I know that there's close to 40 99 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,040 million Irish and, and I think over 60 million Catholics in the 100 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200 US. It's certainly the largest of 101 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,040 the Christian groups and I don't think there's any other groups, 102 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,600 right? Hindus, Buddhists, right, our 103 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840 our Jewish brothers and sisters make up. 104 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Maybe, I don't know, 1 1/2, two percent, 2 1/2. 105 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,200 Muslims are one, 1 1/2 maybe. You know what, Let's just take a 106 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200 quick break. I want to thank the underwriter 107 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,040 and I'll come back with the with the correct stats. 108 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,360 Shopify, as you've heard me say many times here is the business 109 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,720 behind millions of businesses across the globe that makes 110 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200 selling and the experience for the shoppers who are doing the 111 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,920 buying very simple.

Many thanks. 133 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:57,000 OK, now did we get those stats? OK, we've got the stats and OK, 134 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480 now that now they're saying Catholics is still number one, 135 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,120 that's right, more Catholics than Baptist, right, 20. 8%. 136 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,680 Responded not oh wow. So that is what I read that for 137 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,280 the first time ever. So if you go down and you see 138 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,680 like, here's the percentage of Americans that are Catholic, 139 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,320 here's the percentage that are Baptist, here's the percentage 140 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,000 that is Jewish, Muslim. The one number that's even now 141 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,760 more than Catholics are the people who mark none anyways. 142 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,480 OK, So what we've got folks, is don't hold me to any of this 143 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200 because we're looking this up while we're doing an underwriter 144 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,440 spot. But there are at least 60 145 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,080 million Catholics in this country. 146 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,320 If you're running for president, why would you attack the 147 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,560 majority religion? Again, not a majority, it's a 148 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,360 it's a plurality. There's no one religion that's 149 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,160 51% of the country, unless you want to just say Christianity. 150 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,880 But even that the all the new statistics I've been seeing 151 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,840 about how for the first time ever, the more than 50% of the 152 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,880 American people do not go to a church every week, or a 153 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,320 synagogue or or a mosque or a temple. 154 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Could just be people are starting to think, ask 155 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:28,240 questions, wonder, magic, fairy tales, kinds of stories we liked 156 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,440 as kids. I know. 157 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,960 Wasn't it great being a kid? Do you remember what it was like 158 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,080 when you were seven or eight? Oh, my God. 159 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,240 And you remember what it was like, especially if you had an 160 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,160 older brother or sister and you did not want to be told a 161 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,240 certain thing about a certain guy with a beard in December 162 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,320 that your older brother or sister just can't wait to tell 163 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,840 you isn't true. And you're like, what? 164 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,240 Why you say Mom? Billy said. 165 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:03,800 It's not true, no, no. We look fairy tales, stories, 166 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,160 mythical characters, magic, magic hacks. 167 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200 What if Father Guido Sarducci used to say that? 168 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,560 The Vatican says in order to be made a St. there has to be proof 169 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,920 of like what, 3 miracles? Remember Father Guido Sarducci 170 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,080 on Saturday Night Live? He was the resident priest on 171 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:30,480 their weekend update and he was really pushing for changing it 172 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,400 from three miracles to 1 miracle and two card tricks. 173 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,560 Just one miracle was committed in their name and somebody could 174 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,960 do two really good card tricks and and pull people at the 175 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,240 table. That should be enough to be a 176 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,680 St. But I mean that's that this is, 177 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,000 you know, I mean, it's a religion I grew up in and, you 178 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,960 know, I was baptized in and confirmed in and in my teen 179 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600 years went to the seminary to study to be a priest. 180 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,080 I think I probably told you this before. 181 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,320 I mean, I was very inspired by the Berrigan brothers. 182 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,720 They were these two Catholic priests that were big leaders in 183 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,920 the anti war movement against Vietnam and a great admirer, 184 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,760 Cesar Chavez, the the Hispanic leader of the farm, head of the 185 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,600 farm workers, the pickers out mostly out in California through 186 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760 all these very inspiring Catholics. 187 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,960 You know, when I was a a tween and a teen and or maybe I was 188 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,000 just looking for some inspiration because there were 189 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,520 so many others that were that were for the war and for Nixon 190 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,520 and for all this other stuff. And it was just like, but we 191 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,080 could always, we could always find a hippie priest. 192 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,440 Back in the day, they used to have like 2 priests per church. 193 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,800 And so you go to confession on Saturdays and both priests would 194 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,000 be there in their little booths to hear your confession. 195 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,160 And you know, we figured out very quickly because we had to 196 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,800 start confessing our sins when we were in second grade because, 197 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480 you know, by then you're huge sinners. 198 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,760 You know, it's like a burn in hell. 199 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Actually, my, my sister just walked in here. 200 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,480 What were the what were what were the big sins when we were 201 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,720 in second grade? What was our what were the what 202 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,880 huh. Lying? 203 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Were we lying that early in second grade? 204 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,520 What would be a lie that Well, not you of course, no, but for 205 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240 like a 7 year old, what would be a big lie that we would have to 206 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,760 burn in hell for as you can't think of any because you, 207 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,200 because you didn't lie. That is true by the way. 208 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:41,000 You did not lie. You were good and decent and the 209 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,120 nuns loved you. Except by the time you're the 210 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,880 youngest of us. So by the time you were in 211 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,800 Catholic school, there were hardly any nuns loved. 212 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,160 Disrespecting your. Parents disrespecting. 213 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,360 I don't even remember the word respect. 214 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,960 Obey, that was. Mine. 215 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,000 Was disrespecting disobeyed? And disrespected my parents. 216 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,080 So when you went to confession, you got down on your knees and 217 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,600 you told the priest, I have disrespected my parents three 218 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,560 times and disobeyed them 10 times. 219 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,160 Not that I know. I upped it a little bit there, 220 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,080 just trying to put you up with my other sister and myself. 221 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,600 But I mean, I, I, so, yeah, no, we were all raised Catholic and, 222 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480 and actually we did have a number of really good nuns, 223 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,800 radical nuns actually. And we had the hippie priest. 224 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,160 You have the hippie priest and then you have the old school 225 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,640 priest. And that was the point I was 226 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,200 making is that when it's time to go to confession, you had to 227 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,800 stay. There was just one line and the, 228 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,440 you know, every other one would go, but you, you don't know how 229 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,440 long the green or the red light, the red light would stay on you. 230 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,360 There was a real Sinner in there having to confess to a lot of 231 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,320 sins, whereas sometimes the light would go off so quick. 232 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,760 And it's like, oh, I don't want to go into that. 233 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,680 To the strict priest, the old priest. 234 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160 It's going to make me say 10 rosaries as of my penance. 235 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,680 You try to get the hippie priest. 236 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,600 The hippie priest, you go in there, you tell him your sins. 237 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,960 And then at the end he'd say, so do you think you could be cut 238 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,600 here to your parents? And you say yes. 239 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,160 And and then he'd say, and you think maybe you shouldn't have 240 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,480 taken that Tootsie roll from the five and dime. 241 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,160 And you go, no, I know I shouldn't have, but I'm, that's 242 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:22,240 why I'm confessing it here. And then he'd say, OK, well, I 243 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,560 absolve your sins in the name of the Father and the Son and the 244 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,320 Holy Spirit, Amen. And and just go have a nice day. 245 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720 The hippie priest was great. There was no penance. 246 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320 There was no penance. You just walked out of there 247 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,560 like, wow, I don't have to go do good deeds. 248 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,440 I don't have to say rosaries. I don't have to get down on my 249 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,760 knees for an hour, hold my arms out like Jesus had to on the 250 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,360 cross and not put them down. I didn't have to do any of that 251 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,680 stuff. You get the old priest trouble, 252 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,280 nothing but trouble. So that was, that was the 253 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,880 Catholic Church we we grew up in and, and I think all three of us 254 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,360 right, have been kind of recovering ever since what they 255 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,280 call recovering Catholics. You know, although recovery does 256 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,280 imply that maybe you want to recover, which I'm going to put 257 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,680 it out there that perhaps you and our other sister not so much 258 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,880 interested in that anymore. I'm. 259 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,400 Not so sure I was ever interested in all the stories 260 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,319 they. Told the stories they told me 261 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,920 walking on water, virgin, virgin birth, all that. 262 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,040 So how old were you when you first questioned that maybe some 263 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,720 of this maybe wasn't, you know, quite right second. 3rd grade. 264 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,800 That early 2nd and 3rd grade you started questioning. 265 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,240 Priest and nun. All right, so in other words, 266 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,920 when I was I put a towel on my on my back, like on top, like a 267 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,000 like a priest vest vestment thing. 268 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,720 And I would say mass in the house with little like wonder 269 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,360 bread mashed up right and some grape juice for the wine. 270 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,160 Other sister was my altar girl. No. 271 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,760 She was a. Nun. 272 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,840 Well, she was a nun, OK? Yeah, 'cause she had to have 273 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960 some sort of equal status to my priesthood. 274 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,400 You know why that is her? What were you doing? 275 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,720 Oh, you had to be a perscher in the Pew. 276 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,840 And what did I put the host Wonder Bread on your tongue and 277 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,720 then you take some grape juice? Were you, like, rolling your 278 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,160 eyes, thinking, what am I doing here? 279 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,120 Who are these two? Why we were doing it. 280 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,160 OK, but here's the part. So you but I don't get this in 281 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,480 second or third grade, you're actually questioning the 282 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,960 precepts of the Catholic Church and that at that age. 283 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,920 And yet and yet here we are tonight, like in an hour, you 284 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,800 can't wait for the 19th season of Grey's Anatomy to begin. 285 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,880 And and 5 minutes into Grey's Anatomy, you're going to be 286 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,600 believing that whole story is true in the hospital. 287 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,680 Oh, you're going to give us a critique now, Grey's Anatomy. 288 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,880 Maybe it's been on TVA little bit too long. 289 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:59,120 Unbelievable. All right, well, folks, you're 290 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:00,960 listening to this. You can see what the problem is 291 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,800 that that, but it's a good. But you know, let's say, let's 292 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280 say maybe that's a good thing because we are of all the 293 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,360 religions, we do seem to have the most like frustrated and 294 00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,040 questioning group of people, right? 295 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Where like we watched some of the Protestant religions or 296 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,360 they're, they're, they just accept this whole thing and then 297 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:27,880 and then twisted into anti women, twisted sometimes into 298 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,800 racism, sometimes into. I mean, that's not saying the 299 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,200 Catholics weren't that too, but I'm just like, I don't know. 300 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,400 I just, I seem to run into more and more of us who are raised 301 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,360 Catholic and who are are just huge questioners of everything. 302 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,920 And I think that's a good thing. I I think that's a that's a 303 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:53,120 positive thing. But but how is it that all these 304 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,960 groups that Trump attacks are Catholics? 305 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,000 Why? I mean, seriously, if he started 306 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,720 attacking, I mean, just pick any group that was like, say mostly 307 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,800 Baptist. What if he just started saying 308 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,160 like, you know, the majority of people in Skokie, IL, you know, 309 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,280 it's a big Jewish suburb of Chicago. 310 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,480 What if he just started saying? And Ali, and he knew and he'd be 311 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,240 smart enough not to say Jews, right? 312 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,000 So he'd say, you know, Skokie, you better keep your pets inside 313 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,720 because these people, these Skokie people are eating cats 314 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,320 and dogs. I mean, wouldn't there be like 315 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,040 an uproar about this, you know, or if he focused on a, a Jewish 316 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,240 neighborhood in New York, you know, or, you know, just pick 317 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,120 any other group and he starts going after them. 318 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240 People wouldn't stand for it. I hope they wouldn't stand for 319 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,200 it. I hope people would speak up. 320 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,440 But somehow with, with the Haitians, with the Mexicans, 321 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,440 with the Venezuelans, with the Hondurans, the Salvadorans, the 322 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,520 Guatemalans, Catholic, Catholic, Catholic, Catholic, Catholic. 323 00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:19,320 And nobody on the news ever says, well, former President 324 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,520 Trump today went after more Catholics in the United States 325 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560 or in Central America or wherever, right? 326 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,080 Nobody ever says that. Just like did you ever hear them 327 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,880 say that a multimillionaire organized the flying of four 328 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,560 planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and, and 329 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,920 the one that dropped into the field in Pennsylvania never said 330 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,360 it was caused by a multimillionaire. 331 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,880 Osama bin Laden was a multimillionaire. 332 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,320 What do they say that he had from his, you know, one of the 333 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,400 wealthiest family in Saudi Arabia that was not a part of 334 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,440 the royal family, $27 million, something like that. 335 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,440 This always gets me to when millionaires commit crimes, they 336 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,560 never say, you know, if it's somebody from the South Bronx, 337 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,920 from Harlem, from South Central Detroit, they always make sure 338 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,880 that, you know, code where the criminal is from. 339 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,040 But when they murder 3000 people on on 9/11, all of a sudden 340 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,000 it'll be it'll be religion, it'll be race. 341 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,880 It'll never be class.

I think the actual number of 352 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,200 dead maybe was in the 60s, but still, I mean, it was still now 353 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,160 the largest mass shooting in this country and he's up there 354 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:21,360 firing away multimillionaire. He was like one of those high 355 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,080 end gamblers and a multimillionaire. 356 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,720 And they again, the headline the next day was not 357 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,280 multimillionaire shoots hundreds of people from the top of the 358 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,920 Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas. Why not what? 359 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,640 Tell me what part of that isn't true. 360 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,760 If it's the truth and if it's a fact, why don't we ever hear it 361 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,480 said when? And I'm not those are I'm just I 362 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320 just gave you 2 examples. There are other examples of 363 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,520 millionaires who've done mass slaughters like this who who 364 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,040 have enough assets that would equal $1,000,000 to make them a 365 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,560 millionaire. And it's never said. 366 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,320 And now Trump thinks he's getting away with it, that going 367 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,520 after the Catholics by calling them Haitians and Mexicans and 368 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,200 Venezuelans. But the truth is they're 369 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,960 Catholics. And I want to know where the 370 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,800 outrage is from the Catholic Church, from the Bishops 371 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,520 Association, from just Catholics in general. 372 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,920 Again, more Catholics in this country than any of the other 373 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:39,200 Protestant religions or any of the other religions, Muslims, 374 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:47,080 Jews, Buddhists, Hindus. And what makes him think that he 375 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,760 could just do this, that he could just go after Catholics 376 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,880 like this and know that the Catholics will not resist, will 377 00:24:53,880 --> 00:25:05,360 not stand up and say anything? Well, I guess we should take 378 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:07,880 offense at many things that Trump and Vance say. 379 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,960 It's absolutely outrageous. I just find it curious that then 380 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480 this one little thing that they don't point this out. 381 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,080 Because I do think if it were other groups, somebody would 382 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,360 say, why is he attacking these Jews? 383 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,680 Why is he attacking these Baptists? 384 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,160 I know what you're thinking, Mike. 385 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,880 We got bigger problems tonight. Yeah, I don't know. 386 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,840 I just sometimes I'm just sitting and wondering. 387 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,120 And I'm also worried that that as strongly as I believe that 388 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:54,400 Kamala Harris will be our next president and that Trump will be 389 00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:01,880 sent, sent away by the voters, all of us, I think, are afraid 390 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,080 to say or to sound so sure of ourselves because every time 391 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,280 we've been so sure of ourselves about Trump, he pulls it off. 392 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,160 He gets away with it. And the chance of that happening 393 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,200 again, well, is there a chance? Yes. 394 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,120 Do I think it's going to happen? No. 395 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,440 But that shouldn't stop any of us from working our butts off 396 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,760 from now until November 5th to make sure it doesn't happen. 397 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,920 And yes, I know I hear from all of you who have your problems 398 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,400 with Vice President Harris, especially when it comes to this 399 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,160 war in Gaza. And, but I think she's also been 400 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,520 very clear too about where her heart is. 401 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:49,160 She is the underling, the employee of the president as the 402 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,760 vice president. And so she holds 0 power. 403 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,120 She can do absolutely nothing other than speak to him and tell 404 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:01,080 him what she thinks. And I'm I've been holding out 405 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,920 some hope that that's what's been going on. 406 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,000 And yet the murder, the murders continue, the slaughter 407 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,400 continues. What I know is that we cannot 408 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,200 allow Donald Trump to ever step foot on the property known as 409 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:22,360 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. And we'll have to deal with 410 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:25,200 whatever we have to deal with. And one of the first things we 411 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,040 could do is, is to create for some weird, bizarre reason that 412 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Trump gets back in there, that we set up the blue wall in 413 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:39,120 Congress, that the Democrats have strong control over the 414 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,920 House and the Senate so that Trump will never be able to pass 415 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,760 anything. So if you're looking for 416 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,560 something to do for this election and you believe as I 417 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,600 do, that maybe this thing is over for Trump or you have other 418 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,760 problems, get the House of the Senate back in the hands of 419 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,080 Democrats who have our values, who believe in the things that 420 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,480 we have. And if they don't quite believe 421 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,080 it, especially when it comes to something like Israel and 422 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,280 Palestine, then, well, then that means we've got work to do. 423 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,920 Stop complaining, do the work. Let your voice be heard. 424 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,880 We're the majority, folks. The majority of us want an end 425 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440 of the slaughter. We want a ceasefire. 426 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,880 We don't support Benjamin Netanyahu one single bit. 427 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,720 So let's do what we've got to do. 428 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,200 No more complaining. We've got a little bit more than 429 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,720 five weeks before the election, and this is not the time to be 430 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,880 sitting around doing nothing, saying nothing. 431 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,760 This is the time to line up your plan right now. 432 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,100 Who are the people that your life, friends, family, Co 433 00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:53,040 workers, that you're going to make sure they vote, that they 434 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,040 vote the right way on Election Day? 435 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,560 Get them to the polls, do early voting. 436 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,880 It's already started. We really have to rock the Cavs 437 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,440 by here, my friends. It's like, well, I don't need to 438 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,000 repeat it. You know, we don't have a 439 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,560 choice. Well, I'm going to go smash some 440 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,680 more Wonder Bread into little white hosts. 441 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Get out some grape juice. My sister is visiting here. 442 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,400 All you good Catholics out here who heard her questioning which 443 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,400 is the biggest of all the fairy tales? 444 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,800 Which is the biggest one?
