I know we're 4 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,119 good at decent people. I know we're still a country that believes in honesty 5 00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:42,159 and respect and treating each other with dignity, that we're a nation where we 6 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,039 give hate no safe harvor. We believe that everyone is equal, that everyone 7 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:55,960 should be given a fair shot to succeed this country. Every generation Americas that 8 00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:00,479 faced the moment when they have to defend democracy, stand up for our personal 9 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,159 freedom, stand up for the right to vote, in our civil rights. 10 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,040 And this is our moment. That is, of course, the voice of 11 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,719 President Joe Biden announcing early this morning with a six am release of the video 12 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:21,599 that you just heard, of the audio that you just heard, announcing that 13 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,560 he is indeed running for president again in twenty twenty four. This is despite 14 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,760 fifty one percent of Democrats in a new poll saying that they do not want 15 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,799 Joe Biden to run again. And that's despite the fact that seventy percent of 16 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,280 Americans, including some Republicans who are never going to support him, who are 17 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,159 stating that they don't want him to run again. Sixty percent of Americans are 18 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,480 stating that they do not want Donald Trump to run again. And in both 19 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,439 cases, well, in the case of Joe Biden, at least they are 20 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,920 citing his age, and for the case of Donald Trump, they're in citing 21 00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:59,280 his indictments. So the cases are uniquely different, even though they're very close 22 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:04,400 in age. I do have a question for that fifty one percent of Democrats. 23 00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,520 Did you not know how old he was in twenty twenty and did you 24 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,159 not do the math and knowing that electing a man as old as he was 25 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:16,159 in twenty twenty, that if he were to even make it to a second 26 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,039 term, that he would be around eighty six years old at the end of 27 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,639 his second term. This is not to be agist, but let's just be 28 00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:29,479 real. If you're citing age as a concern. Now, he was on 29 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,599 the same trajectory when we were telling you to vote for somebody else in the 30 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,560 primaries of twenty twenty. Now, when it came down to the general election, 31 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,599 we did what we had to do. I supported the man, I 32 00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,159 voted for him. And yeah, if he runs again, I'm going to 33 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,120 vote for him again. You know why, because on the other side of 34 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,560 the equation, we are dealing with theocratic fascists. We're dealing with white supremacy, 35 00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:57,400 We're dealing with Nazis, we are dealing with insurrectionist, treasonist traders to 36 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,280 be redundant who seek to overthrow the United States of America on behalf of white 37 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,639 supremacy and white grievance. So yeah, if you ask me what time it 38 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:14,639 is, it's time for people to honestly know the score, right, I 39 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,879 understand the lay of the land. We simply cannot afford to allow candidates like 40 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:29,800 Robert Kennedy Junior to sandbag the entirety of our ability to simply hold the line, 41 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,159 because that's all. I had an expectation of Joe Biden. In fact, 42 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,759 I have it on the record. You can go back to several episodes. 43 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680 My expectation of Joe Biden as president was two things. He let me 44 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,360 down on one, but the other one was just don't be a fascist, 45 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800 you know it was it was help us get out of the pandemic, which 46 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,800 he didn't do. I'm sorry, Like, let's just keep it one hundred. 47 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,479 We're still in the pandemic. We're just pretending like it's gone. And 48 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,039 that has come underneath the watch of Joe Biden. I get it. The 49 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,080 CDC and all the powers that be realized they're dealing with an ungovernable body of 50 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,879 people who are more concerned about their conspiracy theories. They're more concerned about their 51 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:12,120 ability to not wear a mask than they are concerned with their own personal health, 52 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080 and they're certainly not concerned about public health. So I get it. 53 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,879 The CDC and the Joe Biden administration just through in the towel. I'm sorry. 54 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,879 That's a complete and abject failure to me. But you know what would 55 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,639 have been underneath Donald Trump? Could it have been worse? Yeah, you 56 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,879 know, because Donald Trump is Donald Trump. I'm sure they would have found 57 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:33,959 a way to make it even worse than it already is. But I still 58 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000 mark that in the category of a complete and total failure of the Biden administration. 59 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,879 When it comes to COVID nineteen, the other expectation that I had of 60 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,600 him, He's doing an okay job at He's not a fascist. He is 61 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,680 not a Donald Trump RHNDA Santists level of fascist. That is certainly trying to 62 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,800 move this country into the arms of a new global world order, a right 63 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,480 wing reactionary order in the lines of Ladimir Putin, Victor Orban and the rest 64 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,399 of this global cabal that is seeking to revoke the entirety of modernity and to 65 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:12,839 end the liberal democratic experiment altogether. At least we got one. I got 66 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,560 one out of the two things that I wanted out of the president, just 67 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,360 don't be a fascist. And here we are coming up to twenty twenty four 68 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:24,560 and the people who actually believed in Joe Biden. Sorry if I don't sound 69 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,279 like i'm if I'm not convincing you that I like Joe Biden enough, or 70 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,879 if I'm making you think that I like Joe Biden too much, don't really 71 00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:35,360 care this morning. All I know is that when we have to choose in 72 00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:41,639 twenty twenty four, we cannot afford to allow a Rhonda Santist or a Donald 73 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,360 Trump to get into power. It's just that simple, because there's too much 74 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:47,759 on the line. Later on in today's episode, I'm going to be going 75 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,879 over the target, the new target of the group Moms for Liberty, which 76 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,040 is doing the beckoning call of Rhonda Santists, and they are targeting school board 77 00:05:57,079 --> 00:06:01,399 superintendents all over the country. Right now, they're targeting a black superintendent in 78 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:06,120 the state of Florida in Jacksonville, Florida, and they're targeting her for removal. 79 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:13,920 And you know what, this is the strategy that is being employed all 80 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,720 over the country because the people we are fighting against, these right wing reactionaries, 81 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,720 these theocratic fascists, who are more concerned with banning books about black history, 82 00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:30,079 about being gay or lgbt qia. They're more concerned with that because they 83 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,000 want to control the religion and the spirituality and just the life of every single 84 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:42,240 person on this planet. That is their static goal with trying to force the 85 00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:46,199 quote unquote Kingdom of God on everyone. And that's just one arm of this 86 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,279 three headed monster that is the global right wing reactionary movement, the theocratic fascists. 87 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,600 We aren't even we haven't even delved over into the right wing reactionaries in 88 00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,920 this particular conversation. Right, So, these are the people that we are 89 00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,279 standing against. And I'm sorry, America, you chose Joe Biden to be 90 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,879 the defender against this group in twenty twenty, and now he's choosing his prerogatives 91 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,959 to run again. He has the right to run again. He has the 92 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,439 control. He's the leader of the Democratic Party. The DNC is not going 93 00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:21,959 to allow any primary debates in the build up to twenty twenty four. And 94 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:27,839 honestly, with the likes of Robert Kennedy Junior being there, why would they 95 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,439 Why would they allow someone like Robert Kennedy Junior who is spending the majority of 96 00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:38,360 yesterday, who have spent rather the majority of yesterday lamenting and mourning over the 97 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:42,639 loss of Tucker Carlson at Fox News. We'll talk about that in a minute. 98 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,639 That's neither here nor there for this conversation. What matters is that we 99 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:54,399 have people who are committed to ensuring that the right wing reactionaries win. Robert 100 00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:58,839 Kennedy Junior is one of those individuals, and he expects to be able to 101 00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:05,600 give be given a platform to undermine our collective fight against fascism. That's again, 102 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,480 there's quite a bit of ambivalence in my heart regarding Joe Biden because he's 103 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:13,680 only one for two for me. I mean, in terms of the plaque 104 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,279 community. Where are we on the George Floyd Justice Act? Where are we 105 00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,040 in terms of that, where are we in terms of protecting the voting right 106 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,120 there? I mean, there's gonna be a lot of black folks who can't 107 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,319 even vote for Joe Biden because you know, they couldn't over rule, they 108 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:35,879 couldn't whip Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinemato into into line. So there's a lot 109 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:43,519 to criticize Joe Biden over ferociously. But I'm sorry, guys, gals, 110 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:50,080 non gender conforming friends, when we are in the fight for our lives, 111 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,879 just simply for democracy, just a modern coum of democracy, not even not 112 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,759 even a real full fledged democracy where all people are created cool and treat it 113 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:07,519 equally underneath the law right that we don't have that what we do have is 114 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,679 a fighting chance because we held the line in twenty twenty and now it seems 115 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,919 like quite a few people are saying, let's just roll the dice in twenty 116 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:45,320 twenty four. Okay, welcome back. Word has just come down that Fox 117 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:52,399 News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. Thank you for a 118 00:09:52,559 --> 00:10:03,679 service to the lot working hust A Fire contributor. Ways. You know, 119 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,159 we'll talk more about it tomorrow because but we wanted to make sure that we 120 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,159 let you know what was going well. Can I can I ask the audience 121 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:28,320 if they will help me do something? Come on folks, NA yeah, 122 00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,039 I you know. That was Anna Navarro with then Hey Hey, and then 123 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,200 of course Whippi Goldberg, both of the view when the news dropped yesterday morning, 124 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:41,240 it was just after the podcast was released that that's the one thing about 125 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,080 being you know, the early bird, uh in this podcasting game, is 126 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,960 the news hit sometimes immediately after I pushed publish, and immediately after I pushed 127 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:54,360 publish yesterday, Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News summer citing the seven hundred 128 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,480 and eighty seven dollars million dollars I'm sorry um settlement with dominion voting systems as 129 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,039 calls. But there seems to be more information coming out that it has to 130 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:13,279 deal with more allegations against Tucker Carlson for inappropriate behavior. And we'll get more 131 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,279 information on that as that comes out. But as it stands right now, 132 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,720 Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, and conservatives are you know, losing 133 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:30,240 it. They are they are unsubscribing from Fox News as their you know, 134 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,440 digital subscriptions, and they're deleting the apps from their phone. They're calling this 135 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:41,399 to be the butter Light moment for Fox News because I guess conservatives really believe 136 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,519 they did something to hurt but Light. Okay, anyway, I digress. 137 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:50,720 The point is is that we do have calls to celebrate because the chief propagandist 138 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:56,000 for white supremacy has been removed. Now, he has not gone away. 139 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,279 He is still going to be on the national stage. He is still going 140 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,759 to be doing the bidding of white supremacy. You know, that's who he 141 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:09,440 is. And just to put a fine point on it, here's John Oliver 142 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:16,080 from this Week Today or whatever the show is called, outlining exactly how much 143 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:22,399 white supremacists and Nazis leaned on the coverage of Tucker Carlson Listening. For the 144 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,120 record, white supremacists themselves seem to be big fans of what Tucker has been 145 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:31,240 doing. Just as to Derek Black, a former white supremacist whose father started 146 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,159 Stormfront, the largest oldest white supremacist site on the Internet, talk about just 147 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:41,480 how much his family likes Tucker's show. My family watches Tucker Carlson Show once 148 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,960 and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the 149 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,720 white nationalists talking points better than they have and they're trying to get some tips 150 00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,200 on how to how to advance it. Yeah, they watch it, wants 151 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,399 to enjoy it, and a second time to learn from it. Of course, 152 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,879 Tucker has been endorsed by white supremacists. James also, a far right 153 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:05,360 activist who marched in Charlottesville. Won't said this to a conference room full of 154 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,000 fellow white supremacists. An example of someone engaging in very effective rhetoric is, 155 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,720 of course, Tucker Carlson. Tucker is helping mainstream conservatives change the way they 156 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,799 think about politics and causing a massive swath of Trump voters to look deeper into 157 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,559 many of the issues that we already talk about. Last year, when endorsing 158 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,279 Trump for president, Duke even suggested that Tucker Carlson should be his VP, 159 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,799 explaining Tucker's value to the white supremacist cause like this, He doesn't use the 160 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:37,360 word white very often, but that's the underlying message that he's showing, and 161 00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,080 he shows that there is massive racism in Americans white people, while at the 162 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,399 same time saying there's no systematic racism, but people get the message. Yeah, 163 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:52,200 people do get the message. Yeah, by period that has been the 164 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,960 breath and the depth of Tucker Carlson's coverage. He simply puts a nice cosmopolitics 165 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:07,720 and prep boy, you know Manhattan the near on top of what is a 166 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,360 very rapidly racist white supremacist ideology. And don't get it twisted. White supremacy 167 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,960 has always manifested itself in that form with a suit in a tie. The 168 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,200 most dangerous form of white supremacy comes in a suit and tie, as evidenced 169 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,679 by Tucker Carlson and by so many politicians in this country. There are a 170 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:33,679 lot of people who are losing their minds today. But the Schottenfreuder is just 171 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,639 really delicious. And here's a clip from The Daily Show last night. It's 172 00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:43,759 very short, but when you consider the unparalleled attack against the lgbt QIA community 173 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,799 that Tucker Carlson himself has also led the front owner, Wow, I can't 174 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:54,600 believe that a network that's so opposed to gender affirming surgery just cut off their 175 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,639 own deck. I had to drop that one. Yeah, congratulations, Fox 176 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:03,000 News. Fox News is going to suffer because of this again because conservatives are 177 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:09,000 having a total meltdown there Comparing this to the bud Light moment. They firmly 178 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,320 believe that Fox News is going to implode because of this, and that would 179 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,840 be great news. Please Conservatives, if it wasn't good enough for us to 180 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,519 get rid of Tucker Carlson, if you could do us the added bonus of 181 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,080 helping us get rid of Fox News too. God bless you. I mean, 182 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,720 I prayed that my thoughts and prayers are with you, like may the 183 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:37,679 universe assist you in destroying Fox News because they got rid of Tucker Carlson. 184 00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:41,879 I tell you you all want to give me Christmas in April that it's just 185 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:50,679 thank you.

Visit us online at the Benjamin Dixon Show dot com. Welcome 199 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:17,759 back, Welcome back. Yesterday. Yesterday we covered Moms for Liberty, who 200 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:22,720 had a glowing profile on CBS This Morning or CBS Sunday Morning in And to 201 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,880 be fair to CBS This Sunday, whatever the show is, it wasn't a 202 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,000 profile. They did have some dissenting voices on there. But one thing you 203 00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:41,559 know about America and American media is that these groups don't care if opposition exists. 204 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:44,920 They only care if you give them the promotion that they need to be 205 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:48,599 seen all over the country. And so Moms for Liberty, which is to 206 00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:56,920 me, a fascistic group of white women who are weaponizing their white womanhood and 207 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:04,160 their white womanhood tears against not only the LGBTQIA community, but black folks. 208 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:08,559 They are targeting the black community. I want to be sure. The same 209 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:15,680 folks who are trying to ban LGBTQIA even conversations, right, they can't even 210 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:18,599 talk about it in the state of Florida in schools, right. They're the 211 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,599 same folks who are banning African American history, folks who are trying to ban 212 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,319 so called critical race theory that doesn't exist in grade school. They are masters 213 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:33,799 of creating monsters that don't exist and then getting people fired because of the monster 214 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:40,440 that they created. We saw this happen in South Carolina Berkeley County school District, 215 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,000 where Moms for Liberty had endorsed candidates who ran for the school board. 216 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,440 They won, and as soon as they got the majority, they immediately fired 217 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,640 the first black superintendent in the history of that country, of that county. 218 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,440 So this is their agenda. They are doing the bidding of conservatives all across 219 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,119 the country. In Florida, they are doing the bidding of Runda Santists, 220 00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:07,559 and they have assisted in the firing of multiple superintendents. Their newest target is 221 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Diane Green, the superintendent in Duval County schools. The black woman extremely successful. 222 00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:18,680 They're in the county, and she is being targeted not only by the 223 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:23,960 state runda santists, She's being targeted by Moms for Liberty. Their agenda across 224 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:33,640 this country has been to weaponize their white woman tears to forward the conservative agenda, 225 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:41,079 which is to deny any historical reality about racism, any modern conversations about 226 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,720 racism and white supremacy. You could just forget it. And then they always 227 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,880 lump in their transphobia and their homophobia to boot, and so it is always 228 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,039 a one two punch with Moms for Liberty alone with the conservative movement. There 229 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,359 is no question in my mind if I look at what's happening in Duval County 230 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:02,880 with the targeting of doctor Diane Green, and from my understanding she is She 231 00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:07,200 was rather the superintendent of the year in the state of Florida and in the 232 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,599 top ten of superintendents to finish as the superintendent of the year for the entire 233 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:18,640 nation. As I taught dropout prevention in Duval County, I learned how difficult, 234 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:25,799 how how really hard it was to get a successful graduation rate. She 235 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,119 managed to get it up to ninety one in Duval, and as someone who 236 00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:34,599 you know was into trenches in Duval, that is an astounding accomplishment, and 237 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,039 yet she has been targeted to be fired. There are a lot of layers 238 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:44,319 to this story and a lot more information that I want to give to you 239 00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:49,920 about it, but I want to make sure that we find and target the 240 00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:57,319 people who are doing the targeting of all of these black superintendents around the country. 241 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:06,519 Right it's are pastime for us to stop being on the receiving end of 242 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:14,799 a highly coordinated conservative agenda which is in lockstep with reactionaries across this country and 243 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:22,519 across this globe. We are underneath a systematic attack that is happening at every 244 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,200 single level, and it's important for us to understand how it's happening on the 245 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,000 local level, particularly at the school board meetings. These are the same people 246 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:37,319 who insisted on ensuring that students would not be able to wear masks to school 247 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:38,880 and that teachers would not be able to wear masks to school. These are 248 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,519 the same people aligned with Rhonda Santists who sat there and told children in a 249 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:48,480 press conference that they didn't need their mask in the middle of a pandemic. 250 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:56,440 And so we understand their agenda has been it has coalesced around several several pillars, 251 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,839 and it's including history denial. Right. They will not allow people to 252 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:06,480 discuss the responsibility of this country for what they did to black people historically. 253 00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:10,000 They just don't want that in school ap African American history has been banned in 254 00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:12,680 the state of Florida, teaching of critical race theory, which never really was 255 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,839 taught. That's the boogeyman has been used as a boogeyman all across the country 256 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,279 to get rid of superintendents, and now they're targeting what this would be their 257 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,000 tenth This would be their tenth superintendent in the state of Florida that they have 258 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,119 gotten rid of. And folks, when you weaken the school boards, right, 259 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,599 this is your weakening, and you're putting in power people who are going 260 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,799 to undermine teacher unions, people who are going to undermine your students clearly, 261 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,519 and people who have a political agenda that is not remotely aligned with your best 262 00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:48,480 interests. But they are highly coordinated and they are very active, as evidenced 263 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,200 by the interviews that we covered yesterday from CBS This Morning or CBS Sunday Morning. 264 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:55,400 And just to give you a little bit more back guy, I'll talk 265 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,319 about it more in the Patron's Only episode more of the details. Apparently the 266 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:06,720 method that they're using to attempt to oust doctor Green, the black, super 267 00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:14,319 successful, super successful superintendent of Duval Schools. She's being targeted because of a 268 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:22,000 long time teacher who had been allowed to just fester at a school with complaints 269 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:29,640 of sexual harassment against children, was finally identified and fired by doctor Green's administration. 270 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:36,079 No, you heard that right. A teacher who had been sexually harassing 271 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,319 and eventually it looks like it turn into sexual assault, had been getting away 272 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:47,440 with it in Duval County for years, and once doctor Green's administration came in, 273 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:56,640 he was identified, fired and arrested. But because their administration allegedly did 274 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:03,519 not report it to one picular reporting system. They reported it to DCF, 275 00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:06,680 they reported it to the police, they reported to every the teacher was arrested 276 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,799 and fired underneath their administration. They are now saying that she is responsible because 277 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:18,880 she did not have it reported to a particular state reporting system. That's that's 278 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:26,799 yeah, I'm sorry, she's the one that fired him. I mean she 279 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,519 And as to who's supposed to do the reporting to this particular system, not 280 00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,400 not to the Department of Children of Family Services, not to the police, 281 00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:38,480 not to the school board, not to the school, not to the parents, 282 00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:44,319 like all those things were done, but because one particular system in Ronda 283 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,480 Santis is the Department of Education the school board. Apparently or possibly, we 284 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,200 don't even know those details, right. This is just a letter of accusation 285 00:24:53,279 --> 00:25:00,160 that came down to the school board. She's being targeted to be fired. 286 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,359 I'm sorry she got rid of the guy. Anyway, we'll talk more about 287 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,359 that in the Patron's Only episode Patreon dot Com forward Slash the BBPPD show. 288 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:14,599 But to me, this reeks of Moms for Liberty one because as of this 289 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:21,240 previous election, it looks like a Mom's for Liberty candidate was actually elected to 290 00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:26,160 the school board there in Jacksonville. And we see the fingerprints the m O 291 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:34,839 the methodology of Floridian superintendence and black superintendence all across this country being targeted by 292 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:42,240 Mom's for Liberty for nothing, and in this case, for something that she 293 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,519 was responsible for handling, taking care of. She got rid of that teacher, 294 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,599 but apparently that's not enough. Jacksonville is one of the cities that I 295 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:57,480 had the pleasure of organizing with pastors in throughout this last summer, and you 296 00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:02,400 know, I have a lot of tie is there. So I am interested 297 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,640 in that story, and I'm interested in it not only because I was a 298 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,119 teacher there at one time, but I'm also interested in it because we must 299 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:18,880 fight back against these these groups that are highly funded, highly organized, and 300 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,480 they are executing the groundwork, the boots on the ground. They are the 301 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,640 ones who are going to school board meetings all across the country. They are 302 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,400 the ones who are making it impossible for us to get out of this pandemic 303 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:37,680 because they are specifically targeting from superintendents and school boards that tried to have mask 304 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:41,839 mandates. They are specifically targeting any school board that could remotely be seen as 305 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:48,079 quote unquote woke. And they are obviously doing the bidding of conservative reactionaries like 306 00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:52,759 Rhonda Santis without question. So we'll keep our eye on that story alone with 307 00:26:52,799 --> 00:27:26,599 them. Senator Cinema, what about one hundred thousand dollars premier campaign fund spent 308 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,519 on Limo's wine jests Today, We're talking about tragic violence that occurs throughout our 309 00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:34,480 community. Guys, Let's keep the question soon we had. Over just the 310 00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:40,839 past six months, the Senator has spent at least eighteen thousand dollars on chauffeurs 311 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,079 and luxury car services. She spent at least twenty two thou eight hundred dollars 312 00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:51,039 on hotels. This includes five star hotels like the New York Edition and the 313 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,200 Rosewood sand Hill in California, where the rooms cost more than a thousand dollars 314 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,519 a night. At least thirty one thousand, nine hundred dollars on airfare. 315 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,240 According to Newsweek, Cinema is among the top spenders in the Senate on private 316 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:10,079 jets. There are also thousands of dollars in campaign expenditures at exclusive vineyards and 317 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,119 wineries and luxury resorts. We reached out to Senator Cinema's campaign for comment. 318 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,079 They said they have no comment on this. Of course, they have no 319 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,359 comment on it because they did it. Kirsten Cinema is by far one of 320 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:29,000 the worst Democrats in this country. That's saying a lot, because you still 321 00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,960 are competing with people like Joe Manchon, who went on Fox News last night 322 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:40,279 to attack the Biden administration for their investments into the green economy, and as 323 00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:45,279 it is attached to the Inflation Reduction Act. Here is Joe Manchion, a 324 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,160 so called Democrat. And again I don't really care about the titles so much 325 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:55,119 except for the fact that most of America cares. And here is your Democrat. 326 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,160 Here is the guy that people are saying, you got a vote for 327 00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:00,319 him, vote blue, no matter who. Here's what, vote blew, 328 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,079 no matter who got you. Here he is on Sean Hannity last night, 329 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:10,839 Joe Mansion talking about voting and repealing his own Inflation Reduction Act, which he 330 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:15,759 used to hold this administration hostage in the first place. Let me make it 331 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,599 very clear, if this administration does not honor what it said it would do 332 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,319 and basically continue to liberalize that where three eighty four billion dollars is what we're 333 00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:30,440 supposed to invest over ten years and they blow that out of the water and 334 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,559 it's six or seven or eight hundred, I will do everything I can in 335 00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:40,200 my power to prevent that from happening. And if they don't change, then 336 00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:44,799 I would vote to repeal my own bill. These two, Joe Mansion and 337 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,960 Kirsten Cinema, they have stood in the way of all progress over the last 338 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,039 three years. During the Joe Biden administration. Now, I'm well aware of 339 00:29:55,079 --> 00:30:00,319 the controlled opposition. I'm well aware of the rotating villain theories that suggest that 340 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,039 these two have been propped up to make sure that nothing gets done right. 341 00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:10,839 The best way for Democrats to not have to do anything for anyone is to 342 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,640 always have someone like Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema, much like Joe Lieberman, 343 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,720 remember him during the debates of twenty ten when we were trying to get the 344 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,799 Affordable Care Act pass. There's always a rotating villain, But in this case 345 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:32,079 it is so patently transparent and laughably hilarious that this is allowed to continue. 346 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:38,039 When the entire party apparatus is very effective at getting rid of progressives yet instill, 347 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:45,200 these two minions of the Republican Party are allowed to just stay and to 348 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:52,599 pretty much go unchallenged, except for some really vocal voices on the local level 349 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,880 that are doing their best to get rid of these two individuals. But if 350 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,920 you want to look at who is instrumental in ensuring that the Biden administration didn't 351 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,200 get anything done, here they are, and they're living in the spoils of 352 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,440 it. Kirson Cinema. You know not coming from wealth, now getting to 353 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,200 fly on private jets, now getting to stay at the nicest hotels across this 354 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:19,519 country. You know, it's just like this. She really believes she's living 355 00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:25,480 out a romantic comedy and she's the star of the movie. Joe Mansion has 356 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,599 always been a coal baron. He has always been a person who's going to 357 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,000 do the bidding of the wealthy because he is wealthy. He has his maserati, 358 00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:40,000 he has his yacht. Never would forget the protesters who rolled up to 359 00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:44,640 him with rafts, makeshift rafts, and there he was lecturing them from the 360 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,039 balcony of his yacht.
