Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Tonight, we saw both candidates speak in reaction to last
night's Supreme Court ruling. The ruling was a spectacular thing
to behold. Actually, the decision was handing down in a
matter befitting the stature and reverence that this nation holds
for our Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
The US Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the
Florida Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Here an where to go?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
By the way, I'm gonna guess that guy. That guy's
an intern. Reporters from all the networks struggled to interpret
the minutia.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
He says, there's no justification for denying the state the
opportunity to count all the disputed ballots now, and that's
why I descend.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But not everybody was able to keep up.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
They don't come right out and say anywhere, but listen
to Justice suitor.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Come on, Dan, pull it together.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I'm to wait pursuing too. I don't get any of this.
Speaker 7 (00:58):
I don't pee keep stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I'll just throw my brow.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Come on brow now.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Our correspondence, Oh, that's awfully kind of you. Our correspondence
were among the media throwing down in Washington. We're gonna
go to the Supreme Court and Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Carell Steve, Yeah, okay, Steve Carell, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 9 (01:21):
That's that's good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
Whatay, Just a second, John, what can you tell us
about Wait a second, John, thank you? Uh yeah, I'd
like the General Gow's chicken not too spicy.
Speaker 9 (01:35):
Thanks, it's Sean, Steve.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Don't don't you have the brief?
Speaker 9 (01:41):
The Supreme Court brief?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, Well, why don't you go inside and get a copy?
Speaker 8 (01:48):
Okay, you know the two candidates.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The two candidates were said to have spent the evening
pouring over the complex and detailed Supreme Court ruling. But
whereas Gore was pouring over it with his eyes and mind,
Bush was pouring a glass of juice over it because quote,
I don't want to finish my juice now. This five
(02:17):
to four Supreme Court decision included a very harshly worded
dissent by Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote, quote, though
we may never know with complete certainty the identity of
the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of
the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence
in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Of the rule of law.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let's go out, Advance Degenerous live at the campaign headquarters
for the Nation's confidence in the Judge as Impartial Guardian
of the rule of law. Vance Judge Stevens pronounced the
nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Of the rule of law the loser tonight. What's the
mood like down there.
Speaker 10 (02:58):
Well, John, it's pretty quiet, somber. A lot of reflection
going on, the nation's confidence in the judge as an
impartial guardian of the rule of law. Is expected to
come out any minute now and make its concession speech.
Speaker 9 (03:14):
Now.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
The folks here are disappointed, but say they're prepared to
work with their opponents and bring the nation together behind
the idea that judges are partisan ponds, beholden only to
their own prejudices, which by all accounts ran a great
race and deserves to celebrate tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Thank you very much, man, as we appreciate it. Now
as we'll come back. I have word.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'm sorry, I'm getting worried. Now I'm getting word. Now
we can go back to Steve Carell. He's by now
had a chance to digest that ruling. Steve, what can
you tell us about this Supreme Court decision.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
This is a complicated decision and it reveals a very
divided court. Not only was this a five to four ruling,
it was a very close five to four ruling. How So, Steve,
my sources tell me O'Connor sided with the Conservatives fairly readily.
But the other swing vote, Justice Kennedy, was extremely torn.
(04:08):
In fact, a friend of mine who clerks for Kennedy,
passed along this cat scan of the Justice's brain taken
during deliberations. As you can see, Gore locked up the
justices cerebellum and orbital operculum, while the lateral sulcus and
cerebral peduncle were Bush Country. But if you look at
(04:30):
the southeast portion right here, you can see Justice Kennedy's
all important occipital lobe was simply too close to call.
Bottom line, both sides claimed victory in Justice Kennedy's occipital lobe.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, now, if both sides claimed victory there, what wound
up happening?
Speaker 9 (04:53):
Well, it got very nasty in there. George W.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
Bush was ultimately awarded Kennedy's occipital lobe and in turn,
the presidency, all because of a tiny cluster of five
hundred and thirty seven Ganglia occupying less than one hundred
thousandth of a square inch.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We certainly not much of a mandate there.
Speaker 11 (05:12):
Hustive, Now it is a job, not at all.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
A few neurons. Horrifying, just horrifying.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, hey, thank you, Steve. You stay warm down there.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
Okay, I can't feel my feet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Okay, Although controlling your political message, you may soon get
even trickiers.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
On Thursday, this bombshell dropped.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
The US Supreme Court today overturned laws on the books
for nearly a century and ruled that corporations can spend
freely now on political campaigns.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, let that sink in.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Corporations will now be able to spend money to influence politics.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What don't you want to think about what that might
look like.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The ruling once again highlights the forbidden dance between theory
and practice. The theory is, as the Court explains, Congress
may not prohibit political speech even if the speaker is
a corporation or union, and prohibitions on corporate independent expenditures
is a ban on speech.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Corporations and unions.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're people just like you and me, but without mouths.
So they can only talk through their wallet cords.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's a nice theory.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Now companies are allowed to spend as much money as
they want directly producing campaign ads for candidates.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That means our future looks bright.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
It's me the E Trade baby, here to tell you
about the stock market because I wasn't aboarded. You know,
think how much money you would have lost if I
had been aboarded and wasn't here to tell you about
E Trade. So don't vote for Dianne Feinstein. You know
she wants me dead at E Trade.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That is a cute from more on the Landmark decision.
Return to senior business analyst John John Oliver.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Are you okay? Oh sorry? Have you been have you
been crying?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
What a day, John, What a day?
Speaker 12 (07:15):
With this historic ruling, the last bastion of discrimination in
this country has come toppling down. For too long, John,
corporations have suffered under the yoke of laws, stripped of
the basic freedoms and dignity guaranteed by our founders.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
It's been a long long time.
Speaker 12 (07:36):
Calming, you can wait, change gone, Calm now go.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You really have a terrible voice, you're saying corporations have
been denied.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
Yes, brother, but this did not come easy. Who can
forget the million logo March, when companies from across the
country descended on Washington, their brand crying out for equality.
And of course there were the brave leaders of that movement,
inspiring their brethren with their actions, such as the Pillsbury
dough Boy in his thirty two week hunger strike. Today,
(08:14):
that dough boy became a dough man for the first
time in history. Corporations can walk with their heads held high,
having left their mark on American democracy. This is a
huge victory, John, not just for conglomerates but all of
their fellow citizens.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm sorry I've refused to accept the corporations should have
the same protections as people.
Speaker 12 (08:39):
John, Please open your heart. Corporations are an oppressed minority,
forced to move headquarters from state to states in search
of friendly at tax codes, sometimes being forced to live
just off our shores in tiny mailboxes, even having to
change their name to a gate persecution. It breaks my heart,
(09:03):
but it's happened time and time again.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But John, that was Philip Morris.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They voluntarily changed their name to Utter because they become
synonymous with giving people cancer. The problem with corporations is
their sole motivation is profit. They don't have souls. They're
not people.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
They Oh, well this just got awkward. Uh, John, what
if I were to tell you that you were sitting
next to a corporation right now?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You're a corporation, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
John Oliver Worldwide Enterprise is a subsidiary of Oliver Corp.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
But you, John Oliver, the person, have rates. Why should
your corporate entity?
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Oh, John, John, if you prick my corporation, does it
not bleed?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, it does not.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
If you deprive us of water, do we not thirst?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Just give your employees work.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
Please not bottles. Come on, they can get a cup
of water, the missery, come on.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
To set up corporate oligarchs.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoah, did you just drop the O bomb?
You did not just drop the O bom with me?
That did not just happen here. We can say that
to each other. You can't say that to us. We
have rights, now, John, you have more rights than people.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Corporations can merge with one another. Gay people can't do that.
They can't get married. Yeah, corporations can married, but gating can't.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
It's frame for me that that.
Speaker 12 (10:34):
Is for good reason. It's eight and T not at
and Steve.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Da this is you know, this is ridiculous. Let's not
even please.
Speaker 12 (10:43):
What I'm saying, John is thank God with the Supreme
Court's decision, I no longer have to put up with this.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you doing?
Speaker 12 (10:51):
Yeah, well, I'm doing well. I should have done a
long time ago. With my unlimited funds. I've purchased part
of this show.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Roll it, chuck.
Speaker 12 (10:59):
John Stewart says that if you make money in this country,
you don't deserve a voice, probably so you can't cry
for help while John Stewart is molesting you.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Oliver Corp Has a better way.
Speaker 12 (11:14):
We've been working to harness the world's energy to keep
children safe. After all, shouldn't we live in a world
where everyone can be heard? Are not molested by John Stewart?
We and Oliver Corp certainly think so? Yeah, Yeah, that's yeah,
(11:36):
that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I'd pay for this.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You wanted to talk.
Speaker 12 (11:39):
You should have purchased your own time slots.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You're crying me in my worst and you can't say.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
That I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I think I just did.
Speaker 12 (11:45):
But if you do have a rebuttal, John, you're free
to incorporate and accumulate enough wealth to continue this discussion,
which I would encourage you to do. I believe molester
co is still a vagab bag very much.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That week was all right.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
We all know.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Country has been a bit of a rough patti lately, the.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I believe it's referred to.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Confederate
flags start coming down, Supreme Court decisions supporting healthcare, fair housing,
marriage equality.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It was a display. It was a display.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It was a display stunning, and it's in its alacrity
and its completeness. Traditionally victimized communities granted the legal dignity
that had been denied them so many years. Truly a
moment of joy or or or to put that another way.
Speaker 13 (12:47):
Today some of the darkest twenty four hours in our
nation's history.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
They're not they're not booing.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
They're saying, cruise, Why what is raw? The darkest twenty
four What is wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
The insurance exchanges remain open, Sir, and committed same sex
couples can form lifelong society, stabilizing legally recognized bonds.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Truly, Voldemort has risen, and the living will envy the
dead that's a what.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Is your worldview?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And of course we need not take seriously the hyperbolic
apocalyptic grantings of a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
City United States Senator.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Luckily for Senator Cruz, there were other survivors of good
News Mageddon.
Speaker 15 (13:48):
It is a huge loss for a democracy.
Speaker 16 (13:51):
They essentially turn the US Constitution on its head, and
I believe put a nail in the democratic process.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
There will be an effort to force people to conform.
Speaker 17 (14:00):
This is redefining a fundamental institution.
Speaker 18 (14:03):
Suppose three people say we want to be a marriage.
Speaker 19 (14:06):
We're three people and we love each other and we
want to be marriage.
Speaker 20 (14:10):
What's to prevent that under this.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Because people aren't born polygamists.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You know, I knew even when I was five, I
was different.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
While the other boys played with trucks and army men,
I was figuring out bed sharing schedules with.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Most of the lot. Not that there aren't real victims here.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
What happens to a florist who doesn't want to provide
flowers to a gay wedding?
Speaker 17 (14:54):
Are they going to be forced either out of business
like the florists the caterers of.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
An evangelic florists and bakers around the country who are coerced.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Where does it stop enough?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I am so tired of this old trope, this old
stereotype about anti gay florists. It's all we ever hear
about anti gay flores.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Let me tell you something. Are some florists anti gay?
Speaker 14 (15:26):
Of course, there's truth in every stereotype, just like some
scotsmen are stingy and some frenchmen wear striped shirts and
carry around long breads.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But not not All florists hate gay people.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And it's time we accept that.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The really weird part of the conservative reaction is when
it stops being about the court making this decision and
starts criticizing the idea of the court making any decision.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Rixon Taurum said, today five unelected judges redefine the foundational
unit of society. And what a crazy system to have
the most important issues of our day decided by an
elected lawyers.
Speaker 17 (16:08):
Five unelected black robe lawyer's rule. That is not the
America that our founding fathers created?
Speaker 14 (16:22):
Then why did they put that article in the constitution?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
So why wouldn't that was long that.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
This is the stupidest So the founding fathers come up
with this unbelievable idea for a country.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Right, then some jackass.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Throws in something about co equal branch government possesses judicial
review over the constitutionality of legislation, and the founding fathers come.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
In the next day and they're like, put this in here?
What is this?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I told you we had Article one, two, and four.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't know what three is.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
I didn't write that.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What is wrong?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Even some on the Supreme Court seem shocked that there
is a Supreme Court.
Speaker 19 (17:09):
John Roberts quote, the majority's decision is an act of will,
not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis
in the Constitution or this Court's precedent, adding, just who
do we think we are?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Perhaps it's time we go back to when a Supreme
Court was just a court with extra sour cream.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Did you know that that was the original court? Yeah,
the original Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
The original Supreme Court was at court with extra shower spreads.
I'm a good history teacher, and of course Justice Alito
had to get in his arguments against the progress of humankind.
Speaker 19 (17:56):
Here's what Justice Alito said in his dissent. I assume
that those who cling to old beliefs will be able
to whisper their thoughts and the recesses of their homes.
But if they repeat those views in public, they will
risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers,
and schools.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right, Oh, you mean that like it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Enough for nothing.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'd still like to be able to call ladies sugar
tits without people going, you know, hey, slow down there,
uncle creepy, that's your cardiologist. I mean, you know, why
can't we just continue disliking and shunning the people we've
always disliked and shunned. Everybody was always okay with it,
but them look justice, as senators, your problem isn't judicial
(18:42):
activism or overreach or politically correct policing. Your problem here
is baldfaced out in the open, common sense experience. That's
why you're not going to win the marriage equality fight.
Speaker 21 (18:56):
This.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Let's talk about same sex marriage. I'm traditional, But what
do you say to.
Speaker 21 (19:03):
A lesbian who's married or a gay man who's married,
who says, Donald Trump, what's traditional about being married three times?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, they have a very good point, yes they do.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's what point.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You're not gonna win a marriage of qualitifight because even
a man pathologically disposed to not understand other people's points
of view.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Unless it is also labeled Trump even he gets it,
not that he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Try and set aside what went wrong with tradition in
his particular case.
Speaker 15 (19:38):
But you know, I've been a very hard working person.
My two wives were very good, and I don't blame them.
I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Here's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I am for traditional marriage, but to be fair to Trump,
business is hotter than any wife.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Could possibly be. Wouldn't you one of my golf courses.
I think you would.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All eighteen holes you've come back for more.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
Let's talk about the Supreme Courts, the only place where
wearing a rope makes you more powerful. The Supreme Courts
is one of the oldest institutions in American society, and
after two hundred and thirty years, it's finally getting a
fresh new face.
Speaker 18 (20:33):
Judge Katanji Brown Jackson cementing her place in history, becoming
the first black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
On this vote, the a's are fifty three, the nays
a forty seven, and this nomination is confirmed.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
Cheers erupting in the chamber. Over at the White House,
President Biden watching that final tally come in with the
judge by his side.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
All right, okay, oh wow, he didn't know it's all row. Oh,
this is exciting people.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Finally a black woman will be on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 13 (21:18):
Wow. Wow, now this is happening just in time for
the Court to eliminate all rights for black people and women.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What are moments?
Speaker 22 (21:29):
Now?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
This is really incredible, man. Think about it.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
She will now be the most powerful black woman in
the country to have her opinions entirely dismissed by two.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Thirds of her coworkers.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
This is huge.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
And by the way, for anyone who wondered how much
of an impact Katanji Brown Jackson would have, well she
made history.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
From the moment she was confirmed.
Speaker 18 (21:49):
As Democrats rose to their feet with applause, Republicans headed
for the door. Mid Romney of Utah one of three
Republicans to vote yes, standing alone, the only GOP senator clapping.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
Really really, you know what, First of all, kudos to
Mit Romney. Man, he's like, just decorum, you know, all
those other assholes think about it. The first black woman
since this country was founded gets confirmed to the Supreme Court,
(22:26):
and you can't find it in you to stay and clap,
just just clap even.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Like a like a.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
I'm not saying you gotta throw your panties on the
stage or anything. Just show some respect, just just some respect.
Those Republicans ran out of the room like someone who's
handing out free N word passes in the lobby. Oh boy,
oh boy, I've always wanted to say that word, oh
boy in public.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Why would you leave?
Speaker 13 (22:53):
No one ever leaves, doesn't matter whether they like the
person or not. Why would you leave the first black woman?
And that's when you're gonna leave, I mean, and luckily,
luckily the Republican hispyor couldn't spoil this historic moment, you know,
because it's not every day that a black person in
America gets sent to a court.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
They actually deserve to be in.
Speaker 13 (23:09):
And on FRIDAYKBJ she took her victory lap at the.
Speaker 22 (23:13):
White House tonight, celebrating history on the High Court Judge
Katanji Brown Jackson and a moment centuries in the making.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It has taken.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Two hundred and thirty two years and one hundred and
fifteen prior appointments for a black woman to be selected
to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
But we've made it.
Speaker 22 (23:37):
Jackson, a history maker and a barrier breaker, reciting the
poetic words of Maya Angelou.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
I am the Dream and the hope, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Slave and casting.
Speaker 22 (23:49):
This is a moment in which all Americans can take
great pride.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
We have come a long way toward perfecting our union.
In my family, it took just one generation to go
from segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
From segregation to the Supreme Court. WHOA, that was a line.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
I almost feel like, if you're a black person who succeeds,
you've got double the pressure on you, you know, yeah, because
you don't just have to perform, you've also got to
come up with dope lines when you get the job.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
From segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
What wo?
Speaker 13 (24:35):
That was powerful and that quote from Maya Angelo, All
of it was fire. I mean, especially when you consider
kavanaugh celebration where he just quoted the words of Captain Morgan.
And by the way, by the way, props to President
Biden for rocking those aviators during that speech.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah, way to make a historic moment look like a
deleted scene from Top Gun.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Mister president.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
You know, Biden only breaks those out when he's feeling
his swagger.
Speaker 13 (24:58):
He's just like, oh yeah, his eyes are bleeding again.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
You never know which one it is.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
You never know.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Let's get right into it.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
For the past few decades, conservatives in America have been
chipping away at women's reproductive rights, and a few days
ago they put the final nail in the coffin.
Speaker 23 (25:17):
Tonight, the landmark ruling the Supreme Court overturning Roe v.
Wade taking away the constitutional right to abortion. The historic
five to four decision overturning nearly fifty years of abortion rights,
leaving the matter up to states now to decide.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The ruling does not make abortion illegal, but it's no
longer a constitutional right, so that leaves the issue up
to each state. It's likely to become illegal soon in
about half the nation. Some states have already banned as
of tonight. The rest of the banded states are likely
to follow in the coming weeks.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
That's right, the Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Wade.
Speaker 13 (25:56):
And look, I know we expected it because the decision
was leaked back in, but that doesn't make it any better.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
You know.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
It's kind of like when as a kid you're acting
up in the grocery store and your mom would tell you, Oh,
I'm gonna whip your ass.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
When we get home.
Speaker 13 (26:09):
Yeah, you weren't like, oh sweet, I'm glad she told
me first. That has softened the blow, because in some
ways it almost made it worse. Right, we got to
dread the day, and now that day is here, and honestly,
it's kind of surreal.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
For fifty years, fifty.
Speaker 13 (26:24):
Years, women in America have had a constitutional right to
an abortion, and now just like that, the Supreme Court
has decided that it's finished. And by the way, the
Constitution didn't change, right, Nicholas Cage didn't find a lost
passage inside of a pyramid somewhere. The only thing that
changed is that Donald Trump, of all people, managed to
appoint three pro life justices to the Supreme Courts, judges who,
(26:47):
by the way, went on and on in their confirmation
hearings about how much they respect the important precedent of
Roe versus Wade. And we all knew they were full
of shit too, because, I mean, that's the same line
you use whenever you book an Airbnb.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
I would never throw.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
A party, part party, party, am I even saying that
right party.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
By the way, there's a hot tub in this house.
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Yeah, it seems like the only people on the planet
who didn't realize what was happening with Joe Manchin and
Susan Collins who now say that they were tricked, tricked,
I tell you, by these judges. And by the way,
why does Susan Collins never get tricked into improving healthcare
or soul?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Then climate change?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Huh yeah, she's never like.
Speaker 13 (27:29):
Oh damn it, I accidentally canceled student loan debt.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Get it together, Susan.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
And if the overturning wasn't bad enough, Justice QAnon himself
Clarence Thomas wrote that he wants the court to reconsider
the rights to gay marriage, gay sex, and contraception.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Yeah, imagine that. This dude is so extreme.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
He's talking about banning rights I didn't even realize could
be banned.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
He's gonna be reading the newspaper like.
Speaker 13 (27:56):
Justice Thomas wants to ban the right to engage in
nipple play.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Like at some point, you're not even a judge anymore.
You just a cock block in a fancy robe. That's
all you are.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Hanging on everybody else.
Speaker 13 (28:11):
And by the way, By the way, the one ruling
Clarence Thomas doesn't want to overturn and all the others
that he mentioned is the right to interracial marriage. Yeah,
which is a coincidence because he happens to be in
an interracial marriage.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (28:25):
I guess apparently if something affects Clarence Thomas personally, he's
okay with It. Makes me think if we could just
somehow get him impregnated by like a gay man, all
of our problems will be solved.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And by the way, that's just the joke.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I know.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
There's some right wing punditus is gonna be like he
is Trevor O threatening to sodomize and impregnated a Supreme
Court justice. Is that what he's doing? There are people
standing outside he's house right now with a penis. Is
that what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's a joke.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Calm down now.
Speaker 13 (28:49):
Despite the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade,
that doesn't mean people in America want abortion outlawed. And
the reaction the reaction to friday Is ruling showed just
how out of state the Supreme Court actually is.
Speaker 16 (29:02):
From Los Angeles to Cleveland and Huntsville, Alabama. Americans took
to the streets nationwide over the weekend.
Speaker 19 (29:15):
The protests largely peaceful gatherings, once again outside the Justices
DC area homes Friday and stretching from coast to coast.
Speaker 13 (29:22):
Today, thousands of pro abortion rights activists jammed New York
City traffic for hours, others blocking a Los Angeles freeway.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
This decision, he's an outrage.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
This decision is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 18 (29:35):
More than anything, it just makes me angry.
Speaker 13 (29:37):
Yeah, that's right, from New York to New Mexico. Millions
around the country are furious, and rightfully so, because women
in America just lost control over their own bodies, which
I don't care who you are, is a horrifying thing
to be faced with. I mean, Rudy Giuliani called the
cops because someone touched his back without permission.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Imagine if someone forced him to to give birth, huh.
I mean, someone would have to have sex with him first.
But you get the points. Don't sell what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
And after half a century of having that right, it's
now being taken away, which is especially crazy when you
consider that countries like Mexico and Ireland are moving forward
in the opposite direction.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
You don't realize how weird that is.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Right, Ireland has had violent conflicts between Christians and other Christians,
and even they are looking at America like, don't you
think you're taking it a wee bit too far with
the Jesus stuff?
Speaker 7 (30:34):
He said, a little bit too crazy, don't you think.
Speaker 22 (30:37):
So?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
The Supreme Court is shutting everything down.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
People are rising up in the streets, and the Democrats, well,
they responded in a way that only the Democrats can.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Democrats are already looking to November.
Speaker 18 (30:47):
They have fundraising emails going out in response to this decision.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
They have a new website up.
Speaker 19 (30:52):
Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked downcast when she began her press conference.
Speaker 24 (30:57):
I am personally overwhelmed by this.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
From time to time, I quote.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
This poem, I had no other country, even though my
land is burning.
Speaker 20 (31:09):
Michigan Congressman Andy Levin tweeted a photo of himself in
a yoga pose, saying, quote, in a moment of intense anger,
I turn inward. Let us release toxicity.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
I feel like that's the perfect yoga pose for democratic leadership.
Very little action, and your head is basically up your
own ass. Because I don't know if anybody voted for
the performative aspect.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
People just want things done.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
No one cares about Kentech cloths or singing on the
Capitol steps, and especially not poetry. All right, I feel
like any moment now, Chuck Schumer is going to throw
in a fake pregnant belly and just take a knee
in the Capitol be like, we are all pregnant now
and we're standing together.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Why do Democrats do this? Why do they do this?
Speaker 13 (32:01):
Not once have I seen Mitch McConnell come out and sing.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
A song about how overwhelmed he is. He just gets
things done. He never comes out like, oh, nobody knows
got trouble.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I've shared no.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Every time he used his power to make a new rule.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
In fact, the president's can appoint judges if it's an
election year and they're black.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
I didn't American black, No war, says God.
Speaker 13 (32:24):
In fact, watching the Democrats response and knowing, knowing that
they had multiple opportunities to get ahead of this, it
maybe think maybe voters should change things up. You know,
maybe you should do a new thing in America. Instead
of fundraising emails, maybe you should do fund rewarding emails. Right, yeah,
make the Democrats show you what they've done, and then
you donate to their cause instead of being like, donate, we'll.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Do something, and then they don't.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
What are they doing?
Speaker 9 (32:50):
It's the same reason.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
It's the same reason I don't pay my barber before
he does the job. Yeah, he'll get his money after
I see what he does. With my headline, I'm not
making that mistake again. And now, please don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
I'm not saying the Democrats are doing nothing. In response
to this ruling. The Biden administration has said that it
would fight any attempt to restrict access to abortion pills,
regardless of state laws, and they'll protect people who travel
out of state to get a legal abortion.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Plus, the Senate's.
Speaker 13 (33:22):
Judiciary Committee says that they're going to hold a hearing
next month to explore its options.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:30):
Yeah, so they're coming through with both too little and
too late.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Very nice, very nice, the full range.
Speaker 13 (33:38):
Oh and in case, and in case you're wondering what
Republican lawmakers think of telling women what they should do
with their own bodies, well, they're celebrating the win of
small government over the people. Cheers from anti abortion rights advocates,
some celebrating the decision they've been working toward for decades.
Speaker 16 (34:00):
Over the weekend, President Trump took a victory lap on
his conservative court appointments at a rally with Republican House
Member Mary Miller, who made these controversial comments.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
I want to thank you for the historic victory for
why life in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
A Utah state legislator is under fire for her remarks
defending Utah's new abortion band.
Speaker 18 (34:25):
And my response is, I do trust women in that
to control when they allow a man to ejaculate it
so inside of them and to control that intake of semen.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 13 (34:38):
Did she say women should control the intake of semen?
How by turning the little tap that's on the top
of the penis?
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Is that turning that?
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Ah? That's enough.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I don't want to get too pregnant.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Aha ah.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
But other women with Trump that was even worse.
Speaker 13 (34:58):
She literally thanked Trump saving white life and to be fair,
to be fair, she later said that she misspoke and
meant to say right to life.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
But okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 13 (35:13):
Even if she misspoke, she still just kept on talking
without fixing it. It's like she heard herself call it
a victory for white life and thought, yeah, that sounds
like something I would say.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah, let's stick with that.
Speaker 13 (35:25):
What's even worse is that the Trump supporters applauded her.
Even if we give her the benefit of the doubts,
the reaction from the crowd is pretty telling, right. I Mean,
it's one thing for a person to accidentally rip a
fart in an elevator, but it's way worse if everyone
else in the elevator goes.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's the good stuff. Yeah, we like that,
we like that a lot.
Speaker 13 (35:50):
So yeah, pro life is a feeling pretty good right now.
But if you think that Robe being dead is the
end of the story, and you think the right wing
is going to take their bibles and go home, think again,
because they're saying.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
That this is just the beginning.
Speaker 24 (36:05):
Some and bolden House Republicans want to take this one
step further by pushing legislation to ban abortion at fifteen
weeks nationwide. We know that former Vice President Mike Pants,
who wants to run for president, supports a nationwide ban
on abortion.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
Another big question is over the abortion pill, as it's called.
Some states may want to target that medication.
Speaker 21 (36:26):
In the states that ban abortion, it is illegal to
get those pills from a doctor, and some states are
trying to go further and also ban receiving the pills
by mail from a state where they're legal.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
Yeah, you see, conservative extremists aren't going to stop fighting
just because they got roll overturned.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
They just won a huge victory. Why would they quit now?
Speaker 13 (36:46):
When a team scores a touchdown, they don't just walk
off the field congratulating each other, you know, I mean,
the New York Jets do, but the rest of the
teams they keep trying to run up the score. And
that's what these people have their site sets on. Because
first it was no late term abortions. Oh okay, well
it seems reasonable. Then it was no abortion after twenty
three weeks, then fifteen weeks, then six, now zero.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
What's next?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Or they're gonna make tiny little handcuffs to arrest every
sperm that didn't fertilize an eggs.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
That'll be now, maybe next.
Speaker 13 (37:14):
Time you'll think twice before ending up in a sock
instead of a vagina.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Hauh.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
And I know, I know many people around the country
feel infuriates, it depressed and like there's no hope, But
there is there really is. First of all, there are
many organizations, grossroots organizations on the ground who have already
been helping women who couldn't get an abortion because they
lived in some of these most extreme states. So you
can donate to them, or you can volunteer. And as
for the Democrats in power, there is something you can
(37:44):
actually do. Yeah, here, I actually wrote you a poem.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
Roses are red, violets are blue. The people voted, So
how about doing your job.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
And passing laws to codify contraception, marriage equality, and all
the other rights of Supreme Court is basically threatened to
take away and show are you?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Tonight, we saw both candidates speak in reaction to last
night's Supreme Court ruling. The ruling was a spectacular thing
to behold. Actually, the decision was handing down in a
matter befitting the stature and reverence that this nation holds
for our Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
The US Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the
Florida Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Here an where to go?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
By the way, I'm gonna guess that guy. That guy's
an intern. Reporters from all the networks struggled to interpret
the minutia.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
He says, there's no justification for denying the state the
opportunity to count all the disputed ballots now, and that's
why I descend.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But not everybody was able to keep up.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
They don't come right out and say anywhere, but listen
to Justice suitor.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Come on, Dan, pull it together.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I'm to wait pursuing too. I don't get any of this.
Speaker 7 (00:58):
I don't pee keep stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I'll just throw my brow.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Come on brow now.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Our correspondence, Oh, that's awfully kind of you. Our correspondence
were among the media throwing down in Washington. We're gonna
go to the Supreme Court and Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Carell Steve, Yeah, okay, Steve Carell, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 9 (01:21):
That's that's good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
Whatay, Just a second, John, what can you tell us
about Wait a second, John, thank you? Uh yeah, I'd
like the General Gow's chicken not too spicy.
Speaker 9 (01:35):
Thanks, it's Sean, Steve.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Don't don't you have the brief?
Speaker 9 (01:41):
The Supreme Court brief?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, Well, why don't you go inside and get a copy?
Speaker 8 (01:48):
Okay, you know the two candidates.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The two candidates were said to have spent the evening
pouring over the complex and detailed Supreme Court ruling. But
whereas Gore was pouring over it with his eyes and mind,
Bush was pouring a glass of juice over it because quote,
I don't want to finish my juice now. This five
(02:17):
to four Supreme Court decision included a very harshly worded
dissent by Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote, quote, though
we may never know with complete certainty the identity of
the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of
the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence
in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Of the rule of law.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let's go out, Advance Degenerous live at the campaign headquarters
for the Nation's confidence in the Judge as Impartial Guardian
of the rule of law. Vance Judge Stevens pronounced the
nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Of the rule of law the loser tonight. What's the
mood like down there.
Speaker 10 (02:58):
Well, John, it's pretty quiet, somber. A lot of reflection
going on, the nation's confidence in the judge as an
impartial guardian of the rule of law. Is expected to
come out any minute now and make its concession speech.
Speaker 9 (03:14):
Now.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
The folks here are disappointed, but say they're prepared to
work with their opponents and bring the nation together behind
the idea that judges are partisan ponds, beholden only to
their own prejudices, which by all accounts ran a great
race and deserves to celebrate tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Thank you very much, man, as we appreciate it. Now
as we'll come back. I have word.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'm sorry, I'm getting worried. Now I'm getting word. Now
we can go back to Steve Carell. He's by now
had a chance to digest that ruling. Steve, what can
you tell us about this Supreme Court decision.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
This is a complicated decision and it reveals a very
divided court. Not only was this a five to four ruling,
it was a very close five to four ruling. How So, Steve,
my sources tell me O'Connor sided with the Conservatives fairly readily.
But the other swing vote, Justice Kennedy, was extremely torn.
(04:08):
In fact, a friend of mine who clerks for Kennedy,
passed along this cat scan of the Justice's brain taken
during deliberations. As you can see, Gore locked up the
justices cerebellum and orbital operculum, while the lateral sulcus and
cerebral peduncle were Bush Country. But if you look at
(04:30):
the southeast portion right here, you can see Justice Kennedy's
all important occipital lobe was simply too close to call.
Bottom line, both sides claimed victory in Justice Kennedy's occipital lobe.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, now, if both sides claimed victory there, what wound
up happening?
Speaker 9 (04:53):
Well, it got very nasty in there. George W.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
Bush was ultimately awarded Kennedy's occipital lobe and in turn,
the presidency, all because of a tiny cluster of five
hundred and thirty seven Ganglia occupying less than one hundred
thousandth of a square inch.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We certainly not much of a mandate there.
Speaker 11 (05:12):
Hustive, Now it is a job, not at all.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
A few neurons. Horrifying, just horrifying.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, hey, thank you, Steve. You stay warm down there.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
Okay, I can't feel my feet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Okay, Although controlling your political message, you may soon get
even trickiers.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
On Thursday, this bombshell dropped.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
The US Supreme Court today overturned laws on the books
for nearly a century and ruled that corporations can spend
freely now on political campaigns.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, let that sink in.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Corporations will now be able to spend money to influence politics.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What don't you want to think about what that might
look like.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The ruling once again highlights the forbidden dance between theory
and practice. The theory is, as the Court explains, Congress
may not prohibit political speech even if the speaker is
a corporation or union, and prohibitions on corporate independent expenditures
is a ban on speech.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Corporations and unions.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're people just like you and me, but without mouths.
So they can only talk through their wallet cords.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's a nice theory.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Now companies are allowed to spend as much money as
they want directly producing campaign ads for candidates.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That means our future looks bright.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
It's me the E Trade baby, here to tell you
about the stock market because I wasn't aboarded. You know,
think how much money you would have lost if I
had been aboarded and wasn't here to tell you about
E Trade. So don't vote for Dianne Feinstein. You know
she wants me dead at E Trade.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That is a cute from more on the Landmark decision.
Return to senior business analyst John John Oliver.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Are you okay? Oh sorry? Have you been have you
been crying?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
What a day, John, What a day?
Speaker 12 (07:15):
With this historic ruling, the last bastion of discrimination in
this country has come toppling down. For too long, John,
corporations have suffered under the yoke of laws, stripped of
the basic freedoms and dignity guaranteed by our founders.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
It's been a long long time.
Speaker 12 (07:36):
Calming, you can wait, change gone, Calm now go.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You really have a terrible voice, you're saying corporations have
been denied.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
Yes, brother, but this did not come easy. Who can
forget the million logo March, when companies from across the
country descended on Washington, their brand crying out for equality.
And of course there were the brave leaders of that movement,
inspiring their brethren with their actions, such as the Pillsbury
dough Boy in his thirty two week hunger strike. Today,
(08:14):
that dough boy became a dough man for the first
time in history. Corporations can walk with their heads held high,
having left their mark on American democracy. This is a
huge victory, John, not just for conglomerates but all of
their fellow citizens.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm sorry I've refused to accept the corporations should have
the same protections as people.
Speaker 12 (08:39):
John, Please open your heart. Corporations are an oppressed minority,
forced to move headquarters from state to states in search
of friendly at tax codes, sometimes being forced to live
just off our shores in tiny mailboxes, even having to
change their name to a gate persecution. It breaks my heart,
(09:03):
but it's happened time and time again.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But John, that was Philip Morris.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They voluntarily changed their name to Utter because they become
synonymous with giving people cancer. The problem with corporations is
their sole motivation is profit. They don't have souls. They're
not people.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
They Oh, well this just got awkward. Uh, John, what
if I were to tell you that you were sitting
next to a corporation right now?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You're a corporation, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
John Oliver Worldwide Enterprise is a subsidiary of Oliver Corp.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
But you, John Oliver, the person, have rates. Why should
your corporate entity?
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Oh, John, John, if you prick my corporation, does it
not bleed?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, it does not.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
If you deprive us of water, do we not thirst?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Just give your employees work.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
Please not bottles. Come on, they can get a cup
of water, the missery, come on.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
To set up corporate oligarchs.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoah, did you just drop the O bomb?
You did not just drop the O bom with me?
That did not just happen here. We can say that
to each other. You can't say that to us. We
have rights, now, John, you have more rights than people.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Corporations can merge with one another. Gay people can't do that.
They can't get married. Yeah, corporations can married, but gating can't.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
It's frame for me that that.
Speaker 12 (10:34):
Is for good reason. It's eight and T not at
and Steve.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Da this is you know, this is ridiculous. Let's not
even please.
Speaker 12 (10:43):
What I'm saying, John is thank God with the Supreme
Court's decision, I no longer have to put up with this.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you doing?
Speaker 12 (10:51):
Yeah, well, I'm doing well. I should have done a
long time ago. With my unlimited funds. I've purchased part
of this show.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Roll it, chuck.
Speaker 12 (10:59):
John Stewart says that if you make money in this country,
you don't deserve a voice, probably so you can't cry
for help while John Stewart is molesting you.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Oliver Corp Has a better way.
Speaker 12 (11:14):
We've been working to harness the world's energy to keep
children safe. After all, shouldn't we live in a world
where everyone can be heard? Are not molested by John Stewart?
We and Oliver Corp certainly think so? Yeah, Yeah, that's yeah,
(11:36):
that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I'd pay for this.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You wanted to talk.
Speaker 12 (11:39):
You should have purchased your own time slots.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You're crying me in my worst and you can't say.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
That I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I think I just did.
Speaker 12 (11:45):
But if you do have a rebuttal, John, you're free
to incorporate and accumulate enough wealth to continue this discussion,
which I would encourage you to do. I believe molester
co is still a vagab bag very much.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That week was all right.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
We all know.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Country has been a bit of a rough patti lately, the.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I believe it's referred to.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Confederate
flags start coming down, Supreme Court decisions supporting healthcare, fair housing,
marriage equality.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It was a display. It was a display.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It was a display stunning, and it's in its alacrity
and its completeness. Traditionally victimized communities granted the legal dignity
that had been denied them so many years. Truly a
moment of joy or or or to put that another way.
Speaker 13 (12:47):
Today some of the darkest twenty four hours in our
nation's history.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
They're not they're not booing.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
They're saying, cruise, Why what is raw? The darkest twenty
four What is wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
The insurance exchanges remain open, Sir, and committed same sex
couples can form lifelong society, stabilizing legally recognized bonds.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Truly, Voldemort has risen, and the living will envy the
dead that's a what.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Is your worldview?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And of course we need not take seriously the hyperbolic
apocalyptic grantings of a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
City United States Senator.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Luckily for Senator Cruz, there were other survivors of good
News Mageddon.
Speaker 15 (13:48):
It is a huge loss for a democracy.
Speaker 16 (13:51):
They essentially turn the US Constitution on its head, and
I believe put a nail in the democratic process.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
There will be an effort to force people to conform.
Speaker 17 (14:00):
This is redefining a fundamental institution.
Speaker 18 (14:03):
Suppose three people say we want to be a marriage.
Speaker 19 (14:06):
We're three people and we love each other and we
want to be marriage.
Speaker 20 (14:10):
What's to prevent that under this.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Because people aren't born polygamists.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You know, I knew even when I was five, I
was different.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
While the other boys played with trucks and army men,
I was figuring out bed sharing schedules with.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Most of the lot. Not that there aren't real victims here.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
What happens to a florist who doesn't want to provide
flowers to a gay wedding?
Speaker 17 (14:54):
Are they going to be forced either out of business
like the florists the caterers of.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
An evangelic florists and bakers around the country who are coerced.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Where does it stop enough?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I am so tired of this old trope, this old
stereotype about anti gay florists. It's all we ever hear
about anti gay flores.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Let me tell you something. Are some florists anti gay?
Speaker 14 (15:26):
Of course, there's truth in every stereotype, just like some
scotsmen are stingy and some frenchmen wear striped shirts and
carry around long breads.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But not not All florists hate gay people.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And it's time we accept that.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The really weird part of the conservative reaction is when
it stops being about the court making this decision and
starts criticizing the idea of the court making any decision.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Rixon Taurum said, today five unelected judges redefine the foundational
unit of society. And what a crazy system to have
the most important issues of our day decided by an
elected lawyers.
Speaker 17 (16:08):
Five unelected black robe lawyer's rule. That is not the
America that our founding fathers created?
Speaker 14 (16:22):
Then why did they put that article in the constitution?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
So why wouldn't that was long that.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
This is the stupidest So the founding fathers come up
with this unbelievable idea for a country.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Right, then some jackass.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Throws in something about co equal branch government possesses judicial
review over the constitutionality of legislation, and the founding fathers come.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
In the next day and they're like, put this in here?
What is this?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I told you we had Article one, two, and four.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't know what three is.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
I didn't write that.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What is wrong?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Even some on the Supreme Court seem shocked that there
is a Supreme Court.
Speaker 19 (17:09):
John Roberts quote, the majority's decision is an act of will,
not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis
in the Constitution or this Court's precedent, adding, just who
do we think we are?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Perhaps it's time we go back to when a Supreme
Court was just a court with extra sour cream.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Did you know that that was the original court? Yeah,
the original Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
The original Supreme Court was at court with extra shower spreads.
I'm a good history teacher, and of course Justice Alito
had to get in his arguments against the progress of humankind.
Speaker 19 (17:56):
Here's what Justice Alito said in his dissent. I assume
that those who cling to old beliefs will be able
to whisper their thoughts and the recesses of their homes.
But if they repeat those views in public, they will
risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers,
and schools.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right, Oh, you mean that like it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Enough for nothing.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'd still like to be able to call ladies sugar
tits without people going, you know, hey, slow down there,
uncle creepy, that's your cardiologist. I mean, you know, why
can't we just continue disliking and shunning the people we've
always disliked and shunned. Everybody was always okay with it,
but them look justice, as senators, your problem isn't judicial
(18:42):
activism or overreach or politically correct policing. Your problem here
is baldfaced out in the open, common sense experience. That's
why you're not going to win the marriage equality fight.
Speaker 21 (18:56):
This.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Let's talk about same sex marriage. I'm traditional, But what
do you say to.
Speaker 21 (19:03):
A lesbian who's married or a gay man who's married,
who says, Donald Trump, what's traditional about being married three times?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, they have a very good point, yes they do.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's what point.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You're not gonna win a marriage of qualitifight because even
a man pathologically disposed to not understand other people's points
of view.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Unless it is also labeled Trump even he gets it,
not that he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Try and set aside what went wrong with tradition in
his particular case.
Speaker 15 (19:38):
But you know, I've been a very hard working person.
My two wives were very good, and I don't blame them.
I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Here's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I am for traditional marriage, but to be fair to Trump,
business is hotter than any wife.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Could possibly be. Wouldn't you one of my golf courses.
I think you would.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All eighteen holes you've come back for more.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
Let's talk about the Supreme Courts, the only place where
wearing a rope makes you more powerful. The Supreme Courts
is one of the oldest institutions in American society, and
after two hundred and thirty years, it's finally getting a
fresh new face.
Speaker 18 (20:33):
Judge Katanji Brown Jackson cementing her place in history, becoming
the first black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
On this vote, the a's are fifty three, the nays
a forty seven, and this nomination is confirmed.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
Cheers erupting in the chamber. Over at the White House,
President Biden watching that final tally come in with the
judge by his side.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
All right, okay, oh wow, he didn't know it's all row. Oh,
this is exciting people.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Finally a black woman will be on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 13 (21:18):
Wow. Wow, now this is happening just in time for
the Court to eliminate all rights for black people and women.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What are moments?
Speaker 22 (21:29):
Now?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
This is really incredible, man. Think about it.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
She will now be the most powerful black woman in
the country to have her opinions entirely dismissed by two.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Thirds of her coworkers.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
This is huge.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
And by the way, for anyone who wondered how much
of an impact Katanji Brown Jackson would have, well she
made history.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
From the moment she was confirmed.
Speaker 18 (21:49):
As Democrats rose to their feet with applause, Republicans headed
for the door. Mid Romney of Utah one of three
Republicans to vote yes, standing alone, the only GOP senator clapping.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
Really really, you know what, First of all, kudos to
Mit Romney. Man, he's like, just decorum, you know, all
those other assholes think about it. The first black woman
since this country was founded gets confirmed to the Supreme Court,
(22:26):
and you can't find it in you to stay and clap,
just just clap even.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Like a like a.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
I'm not saying you gotta throw your panties on the
stage or anything. Just show some respect, just just some respect.
Those Republicans ran out of the room like someone who's
handing out free N word passes in the lobby. Oh boy,
oh boy, I've always wanted to say that word, oh
boy in public.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Why would you leave?
Speaker 13 (22:53):
No one ever leaves, doesn't matter whether they like the
person or not. Why would you leave the first black woman?
And that's when you're gonna leave, I mean, and luckily,
luckily the Republican hispyor couldn't spoil this historic moment, you know,
because it's not every day that a black person in
America gets sent to a court.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
They actually deserve to be in.
Speaker 13 (23:09):
And on FRIDAYKBJ she took her victory lap at the.
Speaker 22 (23:13):
White House tonight, celebrating history on the High Court Judge
Katanji Brown Jackson and a moment centuries in the making.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It has taken.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Two hundred and thirty two years and one hundred and
fifteen prior appointments for a black woman to be selected
to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
But we've made it.
Speaker 22 (23:37):
Jackson, a history maker and a barrier breaker, reciting the
poetic words of Maya Angelou.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
I am the Dream and the hope, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Slave and casting.
Speaker 22 (23:49):
This is a moment in which all Americans can take
great pride.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
We have come a long way toward perfecting our union.
In my family, it took just one generation to go
from segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
From segregation to the Supreme Court. WHOA, that was a line.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
I almost feel like, if you're a black person who succeeds,
you've got double the pressure on you, you know, yeah, because
you don't just have to perform, you've also got to
come up with dope lines when you get the job.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
From segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
What wo?
Speaker 13 (24:35):
That was powerful and that quote from Maya Angelo, All
of it was fire. I mean, especially when you consider
kavanaugh celebration where he just quoted the words of Captain Morgan.
And by the way, by the way, props to President
Biden for rocking those aviators during that speech.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah, way to make a historic moment look like a
deleted scene from Top Gun.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Mister president.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
You know, Biden only breaks those out when he's feeling
his swagger.
Speaker 13 (24:58):
He's just like, oh yeah, his eyes are bleeding again.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
You never know which one it is.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
You never know.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Let's get right into it.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
For the past few decades, conservatives in America have been
chipping away at women's reproductive rights, and a few days
ago they put the final nail in the coffin.
Speaker 23 (25:17):
Tonight, the landmark ruling the Supreme Court overturning Roe v.
Wade taking away the constitutional right to abortion. The historic
five to four decision overturning nearly fifty years of abortion rights,
leaving the matter up to states now to decide.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The ruling does not make abortion illegal, but it's no
longer a constitutional right, so that leaves the issue up
to each state. It's likely to become illegal soon in
about half the nation. Some states have already banned as
of tonight. The rest of the banded states are likely
to follow in the coming weeks.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
That's right, the Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Wade.
Speaker 13 (25:56):
And look, I know we expected it because the decision
was leaked back in, but that doesn't make it any better.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
You know.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
It's kind of like when as a kid you're acting
up in the grocery store and your mom would tell you, Oh,
I'm gonna whip your ass.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
When we get home.
Speaker 13 (26:09):
Yeah, you weren't like, oh sweet, I'm glad she told
me first. That has softened the blow, because in some
ways it almost made it worse. Right, we got to
dread the day, and now that day is here, and honestly,
it's kind of surreal.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
For fifty years, fifty.
Speaker 13 (26:24):
Years, women in America have had a constitutional right to
an abortion, and now just like that, the Supreme Court
has decided that it's finished. And by the way, the
Constitution didn't change, right, Nicholas Cage didn't find a lost
passage inside of a pyramid somewhere. The only thing that
changed is that Donald Trump, of all people, managed to
appoint three pro life justices to the Supreme Courts, judges who,
(26:47):
by the way, went on and on in their confirmation
hearings about how much they respect the important precedent of
Roe versus Wade. And we all knew they were full
of shit too, because, I mean, that's the same line
you use whenever you book an Airbnb.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
I would never throw.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
A party, part party, party, am I even saying that
right party.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
By the way, there's a hot tub in this house.
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Yeah, it seems like the only people on the planet
who didn't realize what was happening with Joe Manchin and
Susan Collins who now say that they were tricked, tricked,
I tell you, by these judges. And by the way,
why does Susan Collins never get tricked into improving healthcare
or soul?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Then climate change?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Huh yeah, she's never like.
Speaker 13 (27:29):
Oh damn it, I accidentally canceled student loan debt.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Get it together, Susan.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
And if the overturning wasn't bad enough, Justice QAnon himself
Clarence Thomas wrote that he wants the court to reconsider
the rights to gay marriage, gay sex, and contraception.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Yeah, imagine that. This dude is so extreme.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
He's talking about banning rights I didn't even realize could
be banned.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
He's gonna be reading the newspaper like.
Speaker 13 (27:56):
Justice Thomas wants to ban the right to engage in
nipple play.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Like at some point, you're not even a judge anymore.
You just a cock block in a fancy robe. That's
all you are.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Hanging on everybody else.
Speaker 13 (28:11):
And by the way, By the way, the one ruling
Clarence Thomas doesn't want to overturn and all the others
that he mentioned is the right to interracial marriage. Yeah,
which is a coincidence because he happens to be in
an interracial marriage.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (28:25):
I guess apparently if something affects Clarence Thomas personally, he's
okay with It. Makes me think if we could just
somehow get him impregnated by like a gay man, all
of our problems will be solved.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And by the way, that's just the joke.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I know.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
There's some right wing punditus is gonna be like he
is Trevor O threatening to sodomize and impregnated a Supreme
Court justice. Is that what he's doing? There are people
standing outside he's house right now with a penis. Is
that what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's a joke.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Calm down now.
Speaker 13 (28:49):
Despite the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade,
that doesn't mean people in America want abortion outlawed. And
the reaction the reaction to friday Is ruling showed just
how out of state the Supreme Court actually is.
Speaker 16 (29:02):
From Los Angeles to Cleveland and Huntsville, Alabama. Americans took
to the streets nationwide over the weekend.
Speaker 19 (29:15):
The protests largely peaceful gatherings, once again outside the Justices
DC area homes Friday and stretching from coast to coast.
Speaker 13 (29:22):
Today, thousands of pro abortion rights activists jammed New York
City traffic for hours, others blocking a Los Angeles freeway.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
This decision, he's an outrage.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
This decision is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 18 (29:35):
More than anything, it just makes me angry.
Speaker 13 (29:37):
Yeah, that's right, from New York to New Mexico. Millions
around the country are furious, and rightfully so, because women
in America just lost control over their own bodies, which
I don't care who you are, is a horrifying thing
to be faced with. I mean, Rudy Giuliani called the
cops because someone touched his back without permission.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Imagine if someone forced him to to give birth, huh.
I mean, someone would have to have sex with him first.
But you get the points. Don't sell what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
And after half a century of having that right, it's
now being taken away, which is especially crazy when you
consider that countries like Mexico and Ireland are moving forward
in the opposite direction.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
You don't realize how weird that is.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Right, Ireland has had violent conflicts between Christians and other Christians,
and even they are looking at America like, don't you
think you're taking it a wee bit too far with
the Jesus stuff?
Speaker 7 (30:34):
He said, a little bit too crazy, don't you think.
Speaker 22 (30:37):
So?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
The Supreme Court is shutting everything down.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
People are rising up in the streets, and the Democrats, well,
they responded in a way that only the Democrats can.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Democrats are already looking to November.
Speaker 18 (30:47):
They have fundraising emails going out in response to this decision.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
They have a new website up.
Speaker 19 (30:52):
Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked downcast when she began her press conference.
Speaker 24 (30:57):
I am personally overwhelmed by this.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
From time to time, I quote.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
This poem, I had no other country, even though my
land is burning.
Speaker 20 (31:09):
Michigan Congressman Andy Levin tweeted a photo of himself in
a yoga pose, saying, quote, in a moment of intense anger,
I turn inward. Let us release toxicity.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
I feel like that's the perfect yoga pose for democratic leadership.
Very little action, and your head is basically up your
own ass. Because I don't know if anybody voted for
the performative aspect.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
People just want things done.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
No one cares about Kentech cloths or singing on the
Capitol steps, and especially not poetry. All right, I feel
like any moment now, Chuck Schumer is going to throw
in a fake pregnant belly and just take a knee
in the Capitol be like, we are all pregnant now
and we're standing together.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Why do Democrats do this? Why do they do this?
Speaker 13 (32:01):
Not once have I seen Mitch McConnell come out and sing.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
A song about how overwhelmed he is. He just gets
things done. He never comes out like, oh, nobody knows
got trouble.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I've shared no.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Every time he used his power to make a new rule.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
In fact, the president's can appoint judges if it's an
election year and they're black.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
I didn't American black, No war, says God.
Speaker 13 (32:24):
In fact, watching the Democrats response and knowing, knowing that
they had multiple opportunities to get ahead of this, it
maybe think maybe voters should change things up. You know,
maybe you should do a new thing in America. Instead
of fundraising emails, maybe you should do fund rewarding emails. Right, yeah,
make the Democrats show you what they've done, and then
you donate to their cause instead of being like, donate, we'll.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Do something, and then they don't.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
What are they doing?
Speaker 9 (32:50):
It's the same reason.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
It's the same reason I don't pay my barber before
he does the job. Yeah, he'll get his money after
I see what he does. With my headline, I'm not
making that mistake again. And now, please don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
I'm not saying the Democrats are doing nothing. In response
to this ruling. The Biden administration has said that it
would fight any attempt to restrict access to abortion pills,
regardless of state laws, and they'll protect people who travel
out of state to get a legal abortion.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Plus, the Senate's.
Speaker 13 (33:22):
Judiciary Committee says that they're going to hold a hearing
next month to explore its options.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:30):
Yeah, so they're coming through with both too little and
too late.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Very nice, very nice, the full range.
Speaker 13 (33:38):
Oh and in case, and in case you're wondering what
Republican lawmakers think of telling women what they should do
with their own bodies, well, they're celebrating the win of
small government over the people. Cheers from anti abortion rights advocates,
some celebrating the decision they've been working toward for decades.
Speaker 16 (34:00):
Over the weekend, President Trump took a victory lap on
his conservative court appointments at a rally with Republican House
Member Mary Miller, who made these controversial comments.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
I want to thank you for the historic victory for
why life in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
A Utah state legislator is under fire for her remarks
defending Utah's new abortion band.
Speaker 18 (34:25):
And my response is, I do trust women in that
to control when they allow a man to ejaculate it
so inside of them and to control that intake of semen.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 13 (34:38):
Did she say women should control the intake of semen?
How by turning the little tap that's on the top
of the penis?
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Is that turning that?
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Ah? That's enough.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I don't want to get too pregnant.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Aha ah.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
But other women with Trump that was even worse.
Speaker 13 (34:58):
She literally thanked Trump saving white life and to be fair,
to be fair, she later said that she misspoke and
meant to say right to life.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
But okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 13 (35:13):
Even if she misspoke, she still just kept on talking
without fixing it. It's like she heard herself call it
a victory for white life and thought, yeah, that sounds
like something I would say.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah, let's stick with that.
Speaker 13 (35:25):
What's even worse is that the Trump supporters applauded her.
Even if we give her the benefit of the doubts,
the reaction from the crowd is pretty telling, right. I Mean,
it's one thing for a person to accidentally rip a
fart in an elevator, but it's way worse if everyone
else in the elevator goes.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's the good stuff. Yeah, we like that,
we like that a lot.
Speaker 13 (35:50):
So yeah, pro life is a feeling pretty good right now.
But if you think that Robe being dead is the
end of the story, and you think the right wing
is going to take their bibles and go home, think again,
because they're saying.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
That this is just the beginning.
Speaker 24 (36:05):
Some and bolden House Republicans want to take this one
step further by pushing legislation to ban abortion at fifteen
weeks nationwide. We know that former Vice President Mike Pants,
who wants to run for president, supports a nationwide ban
on abortion.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
Another big question is over the abortion pill, as it's called.
Some states may want to target that medication.
Speaker 21 (36:26):
In the states that ban abortion, it is illegal to
get those pills from a doctor, and some states are
trying to go further and also ban receiving the pills
by mail from a state where they're legal.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
Yeah, you see, conservative extremists aren't going to stop fighting
just because they got roll overturned.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
They just won a huge victory. Why would they quit now?
Speaker 13 (36:46):
When a team scores a touchdown, they don't just walk
off the field congratulating each other, you know, I mean,
the New York Jets do, but the rest of the
teams they keep trying to run up the score. And
that's what these people have their site sets on. Because
first it was no late term abortions. Oh okay, well
it seems reasonable. Then it was no abortion after twenty
three weeks, then fifteen weeks, then six, now zero.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
What's next?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Or they're gonna make tiny little handcuffs to arrest every
sperm that didn't fertilize an eggs.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
That'll be now, maybe next.
Speaker 13 (37:14):
Time you'll think twice before ending up in a sock
instead of a vagina.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Hauh.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
And I know, I know many people around the country
feel infuriates, it depressed and like there's no hope, But
there is there really is. First of all, there are
many organizations, grossroots organizations on the ground who have already
been helping women who couldn't get an abortion because they
lived in some of these most extreme states. So you
can donate to them, or you can volunteer. And as
for the Democrats in power, there is something you can
(37:44):
actually do. Yeah, here, I actually wrote you a poem.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
Roses are red, violets are blue. The people voted, So
how about doing your job.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
And passing laws to codify contraception, marriage equality, and all
the other rights of Supreme Court is basically threatened to
take away and show are you?
