Tune in and TURN IT UP! No seriously, you may need to turn this up. My mixer said nope, but this is to important not to release this now! The election and Project 2025 needs to be talked about with a different perspective, so this is your podcast! And now for the overly dramatic AI Description. Enjoy!
Is the "Trinity of Terror" shaping the future of American politics? We unravel the unsettling narratives of Project 2025, spotlighting the influential conservative organizations and the persistent threats they pose to hard-won rights for women, African Americans, and the LGBTQ+ community. Our discussion dives into the shadows of political conservatism, questioning the ultimate goals of regressive movements that cloak their intentions under the guise of religious and political conservatism. By drawing historical parallels and examining the rise of the Christian nationalist movement since the Reagan era, we aim to expose the potential implications for labor rights and societal equality.
The boundaries between church and state are becoming increasingly blurred. We analyze the historical evolution of hate groups and the modern-day threats posed by organizations like the Heritage Foundation. With a focus on the First Amendment's Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses, we delve into the dangers of religious political lobbying and the need for religious organizations to prioritize community support over political donations. Our conversation serves as a critical examination of the separation of church and state, offering solutions to mitigate these threats and acknowledging the progress made by current leadership.
From the shifting political landscape to the stark contrasts between figures like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, we explore the strain of economic policies on the middle class and the transformation of elections into contests of party loyalty. By examining restrictive voting laws and the changing dynamics of political integrity, we call for a reassessment of political platforms in light of the unsustainable nature of division and hatred. As we gear up for the holiday season, we also tease our next discussion on generational trauma, encouraging listeners to stay engaged and informed as active participants in the democratic process. Keep it real, maintain your sparkle, and let's navigate these turbulent times together. Peace.
KEEP IT PUNK, My Younglings!

Robin (00:00):
Welcome to the Kicked Can Generations podcast.
I'm your host, Robin Duncan,along with our magnificent Jim
Murphy.
JIm (00:06):
Greetings.
Robin (00:07):
Here's hoping that your October was spooky and fun, and
now that we're reaching November, today we're going to discuss a
couple topics that I think area little spookier than Halloween
.
JIm (00:17):
I come in on the really spooky parts.
Robin (00:20):
We're briefly going to discuss Project 2025 and also
the upcoming election.
JIm (00:25):
Yay.
Robin (00:26):
Those who are not familiar with Project 2025, it
is a manifesto, if you will,brought to you by the Heritage
Foundation, the American FirstPolicy Institute, the Federalist
Society or, as we like to callit, the Trinity of Terror.
JIm (00:43):
Dun, dun dun.
Robin (00:45):
And it doesn't stop there because there's a hundred
other-plus organizationsinvolved with this as well.
I like to call this the Tale ofTwo Jesuses Because you got the
OG Jesus from the Bible andthen, in about the 70s to about
2015, jesus has been kind ofreworking himself, creating an
(01:06):
alter ego that is nothing likethe OG that we'll call
Republican Jesus.
This one does not feed themasses, he does not heal people
unless he is getting a cut ofthe prophets, and the Be
attitudes in the Bible is somestraight up pussy shit,
according to some of hisfollowers.
And as the telling of the talegoes from about 2015 to current
(01:30):
day, this is where we're at.
But make no mistakes, theChristian nationalist movement
is strong and painfully whiteovertones.
It's nothing more than adusting off of the colonizer's
playbook that dates way back.
The British, I think, areprobably the biggest users that
(01:51):
come to mind.
You know, ridding such lands ofbarbarians such as the savage
Celts, the Native Americans andthe Indians India.
Taking piece of other people'sculture and treating it as it
was theirs.
Now, the rise of the ChristianNational Movement really started
with the Ronald Reagan era,where he gave huge support to
(02:15):
people like James Dobson andJerry Falwell.
JIm (02:18):
Also, don't forget Pat Robertson from the 700 Club.
Robin (02:21):
This leads to the rise of the moral majority in the 80s,
creating a toxic religioussuperiority where they feel that
they can save the world throughsuperior spirituality by taking
away the free will of everyone.
But during this time periodthey became more opposed to
(02:44):
abortion, became more militantin worming its way into politics
and more and more lately it hasbeen taken over by racism.
Now, sadly, we have a lot ofCongress members that are still
in office from that time period.
That's 50 years.
JIm (03:03):
Looking at you, Tom Cole.
Robin (03:04):
Also looking at you, Chuck Grassley, and we might
want to put some stronger termlimits in there, kind of solve
this problem a little bit.
But you know, what do I know?
Now you need to lay down someimportant dates for you, just so
you can get a time frame ofwhen all this is happening and
we will be discussing what canhappen and hopefully lead to
(03:27):
some possible solutions here.
In 1973, roe versus Wade, whichlasted until 2022, giving us 49
years of reproductive healthcare for women.
In 1974 is when women wereallowed to have credit cards,
giving women 48 years offinancial freedom for more,
(03:51):
women were starting to work moreand more at that time period.
Now, in 1920, is when we gotthe right to vote for women.
So 104 years of that.
So 104 years of that.
African Americans 1870, the 15thAmendment removed racial
barriers to voting, but itwasn't really until 1965 with
(04:31):
the Voting Act.
That was only 154 years thatslavery ended and only 59 years
of voting rights.
In 1964, the Civil Rights Acthas given us 60 years of
so-called better equality, buteven still, we can do so much
more than what we have.
In 1969 was the Stonewall Riotsfor the LBGTQ+, so that's given
55 years of us trying to getbetter equality, but once again,
the LBGTQ+ is still trying tofight for their rights to be
(04:51):
heard.
I feel we can do so much betterthan what we are currently
doing.
So this kind of shows you thatthere is really not a lot of
time difference here.
I feel as if we're juststarting to get our footing in
these rights and alreadysomebody wants to come and take
them away again.
I'm not sure who needs to hearthis, but rights are not a
(05:13):
limited resource.
Do you breathe?
Are you alive?
Then, baby, you got rights.
So what exactly is the ultimategoal of the Heritage Foundation
?
JIm (05:27):
World domination.
Robin (05:29):
To recolonize an already colonized country to where
Christianity is the onlyreligion.
We know from their littlemanifesto that they want to
return power back to the states,allow corporations to do
whatever they want Eliminatefederal jobs, increase
(05:54):
discrimination across the board,especially for anyone they do
not like or disagrees with theirmoral majority, restricting
reproductive rights, limitingaccess to health care,
decreasing what they call entitor what I like to call helping
people out.
That's kind of what I thoughtthe original OG Christianity
major policy was.
That must be in my Trump Bible.
(06:16):
You know that I could get for$59.99, wrapped in cellophane
and touched by God.
So if you guys need a ride tohell, jim and I are going to
rent a party bus Because, livinghere in Oklahoma, we've been
told that there's a specialplace in hell for us.
So I think it would be rude forus to decline such VIP
treatment and, you know, mightas well show up in style.
(06:39):
So let us know if you need aride, guys.
Okay.
JIm (06:42):
I got shotgun.
Robin (06:43):
So the key principles and highlights of the Project 2025
is..
.
JIm (06:50):
World Domination.
I mean seriously, there's noother way to put it.
Robin (06:52):
They want to strip everything that you think of as
your God-given right.
Depends, on which God.
So what they want to do withlabor is that they want to cut
overtime, they want to cut jobcreation programs, they want to
manipulate the data thatbusinesses rely on to keep the
economy functioning byconsolidating agencies, and they
(07:15):
also want to eliminate childlabor protections.
JIm (07:19):
Now this is where I get to have fun chiming in, because the
labor aspect of this for me,hits home, especially with the
fact that they want to do awaywith the labor unions, and most
people think of labor unionslike the Teamsters, the Auto
Workers Union, the AirlineUnions.
It also includes groups likethe IAFF, which is the
International Firefighters Union.
(07:39):
The striking ability we have islimited at best, but if you're
going to take away everything,then you already have a shortage
of firefighters and paramedics.
You're just going to make iteven worse.
The child labor protectionspecifically.
What they're wanting to do,especially in certain states, is
make it to where not only cankids work longer hours during
school year and on school nights, but also work in jobs like
(08:04):
coal mine, meatpacking plant,butcher places the jobs that
back in the 20s and 30s,immigrant kids did because there
was nothing else available tothem, and we figured out pretty
quick that that was a bad idea.
Robin (08:16):
The other thing that they want to do is they want to get
rid of assistance programs.
They want to decrease orcompletely eliminate altogether
food assistance.
Eliminate Head Start.
Eliminate disability benefits,especially for vets.
Remove safety nets for farmers.
Eliminate public transportationprojects.
JIm (08:35):
And for those of you that think oh well, you know I don't
participate in food assistanceor Head Start or any of these.
You don't right now, but youdon't know what may happen
further down the road.
Nobody sets out wanting to beon food stamps.
Nobody sets out wanting to beon disability.
Robin (08:52):
But then you have things like the pandemic that come up
and all of a sudden ourinflation costs are through the
roof and I got news for you.
JIm (08:59):
If you think the price of your eggs is expensive or bacon
is expensive, now take awaythose farm subsidies and see
what happens.
Robin (09:06):
It's going to be astronomical.
Folks, healthcare andreproductive rights supporting
companies charging for what theywant for medications or
services, ending medications forabortions even though people
use it for other things.
Privatizing Medicare and HIPAAmay as well not even exist.
JIm (09:24):
Oh, hipaa won't exist the programs that they want to roll
out.
They will literally track ayoung girl's menstrual cycle and
know when when she'smenstruating, when she's not,
when she might be pregnant, whenshe's not, if she had a
miscarriage.
They'll have it all documentedit the amount of government
interference into your healthcare system that this would
(09:44):
allow.
I don't see how any Republicanwho screams for limited
government could think that thiswas a good idea.
Robin (09:51):
They also want to enable discrimination across the board,
making it harder to serveunderserved communities for
medical assistance, as the HeadStart and other programs.
Start and other programsdecreasing gender equality,
increasing discriminationagainst LBGTQ plus in regards to
adoption and foster care.
JIm (10:11):
For a group of people that keep screaming about it's all
for the kids, it's all for thekids, it's all for the kids.
Ok then, that's all the kids,every single one of them.
You have couples out there, youhave families out there that
want these children, and becauseyou don't agree with their
whatever religious, ethnic,sexual background, you're going
(10:31):
to deny this child-loving home.
Well, that's how veryRepublican, jesus, of you.
Robin (10:40):
They also want to eliminate government or
consolidate government agenciesthat overlook corporate America
that keep them in line.
JIm (10:44):
Yeah and honestly the scary part is most of those agencies,
agencies that overlookcorporate America and keep them
in line.
Yeah, and honestly it's, it's.
The scary part is is is most ofthose agencies they don't have
a lot of teeth.
To begin with, I mean, the EPAcan go after polluters to a
certain extent.
Then the justice department hasto get involved.
Robin (10:58):
But they want to eliminate the EPA, NOAA.
I don't understand why they'vehit rid of.
JIm (11:03):
NOAA, yeah, I don't either.
Robin (11:04):
Is it just because of the environmental?
JIm (11:07):
I guess they don't believe in that.
Yeah, it's another one of if wedon't talk about it, it doesn't
exist.
Robin (11:13):
Oh, that works really well.
JIm (11:14):
Yeah.
Robin (11:17):
They want to expand oil and natural gas on public lands
and water, which is going toincrease health care for all of
us.
And then we come to educationCutting federal loans for higher
education, zero protectionsagainst discriminations across
the board, especially LBGTQ+, topush their ideological agendas.
(11:39):
I mean I can turn directly tothe Oklahoma Department of
Education and the man in chargehimself, Ryan motherfucking
Walters.
JIm (11:48):
Ryan Walters needs to be, at the very least, impeached.
The list of lawsuits that arestacking up against him, that
are going to drain money fromthe taxpayers' wallets of the
state of Oklahoma, whichinevitably will come out of the
education slush fund of thestate of Oklahoma.
Robin (12:06):
Now, Ryan Walter, if you want to see what the Heritage
Foundation is doing, please paymore attention to what's going
on in Oklahoma and theirDepartment of Education, because
this is what's going to happen,and roll out nationwide if they
get their way.
JIm (12:21):
Also check out PragerU's website to give you an idea of
exactly what kind of curriculumthey have in mind, because it is
a very sanitized version ofhistory.
Robin (12:32):
So you need to be aware, folks.
Let's just put it that way,please.
I do encourage you.
Look at Oklahoma.
We're 49th in Education.
This could be rolling outacross the country.
So congratulations, welcome toPragerU.
Now they also want to eliminateand replace federal jobs with
(12:54):
those who are loyal to theHeritage Foundation and their
ideals.
They want to force out expertsand eliminate agencies or
combine them so they don'tactually work anymore.
So the Chevron Act, which waseliminated by the Supreme Court,
as well as unsecuring securityclearance to people who have no
(13:17):
damn right to know any of thisshit, is now going to have
access to it.
JIm (13:23):
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, you're literallytalking like the young Air
National Guard teenager that gota hold of, and was sharing, top
secret information that hewasn't supposed to have access
to, but he gained access to it,just for a clerical error and a
slip-up.
This isn't a clerical error ora slip-up.
This is literally, we're givingthe fox the keys to the hen
house and telling him to guardit for the freaking night.
Robin (13:44):
So the Heritage Foundation, as well as the
America First Policy Institute,who is already trying to rebrand
Project 2025, by the way, Iwish I was joking on this, but I
am not Look it up.
JIm (13:58):
Yeah, they've rebranded it as the 2025 Guide to Leadership.
Robin (14:02):
We've already got one marketing redo here, so just be
aware.
But they also have a lobbyingcomponent to their plan and I
swear to God that they havethese bills already written up
and what they are trying to dois just get them into the hands
of who is in power to get theball rolling.
So a senator or acongressperson doesn't even have
(14:26):
to do anything.
They just have to hand in thehomework assignment that they
give them, which is why I thinksome of them are doing it,
because it looks like they'redoing something when actually
they're doing nothing.
Now I want to take a look attheir component of lobbying,
because when Donald Trump waselected in 2016 just to give you
(14:50):
an idea of how much they'veincreased their lobbying since
Donald Trump was in office, so,like the year before Donald
Trump came in, they had 39 billsthat they were sponsoring.
Then, in 2016, when Donnie hits, we got 54.
2017, we have 43.
(15:13):
2018, we've got 54.
2019, we have 92.
Now we're coming up on 2020 now.
So remember they had a littlebit more on their plate at that
time period, so they weren'treally passing like a lot of
(15:34):
legislation.
So I think that a lot of thelegislation that they handed in
during that year actually moveddown to the next year, because
in 2020 they had 74 bills, butin 2021, even though Joe Biden
just got in, they had 105.
A 105.
Then in 2022 they had 84, 2023they have 95 and in 2024 already
(16:03):
we have 94 bills that they aretrying to get through.
Are you seeing the problem here?
Now, the reason I want todiscuss this before talking
about the election is that youall need to be aware of this,
that this problem is not goinganywhere.
In fact, it feels more likethey are just going to rebrand
(16:25):
themselves, like racism has overthe years, because Jim and I
grew up and the Klan was stillaround with their hooded robes
at that point.
Then, in the 80s and 90s, theyrebranded to skinheads.
Now what was it 2016?
We had tiki torches andHawaiian shirts.
So you need to keep your eyesopen, because this shit is not
(16:45):
going anywhere.
JIm (16:47):
Still all the same.
14 words.
Robin (16:49):
And do you mind sharing those 14 words?
Google it.
JIm (16:54):
If you don't know what it means, Google 14 words.
Robin (16:58):
I know that they love their Bible verses and also they
really do love assuming whatour founding fathers think.
So here is Matthew 22 (17:05):
21.
"Render therefore unto Caesarthe things which are Caesar's
and unto God the things that areGod's.
" Man's law and God's law areseparate.
JIm (17:21):
As has been attended since day one.
Robin (17:24):
They are not supposed to cross.
Okay, and then we also have aletter from Thomas Jefferson.
This is his Danbury BaptistAssociation letter of 1802, and
I will post this letter from theLibrary of Congress so you can
read it in its entirety on oursocial media pages.
Okay, but I will read thesecond paragraph to you right
(17:49):
now.
" Believing with you thatreligion is a matter which lies
solely between man and his God,that he owes account to none
other for his faith or hisworship, that the legitimate
power of the government reachactions only and not opinions, I
(18:13):
contemplate with sovereignreverence that act of the whole
American people, which declaredthat their legislation should
make no law respecting anestablishment of religion or
prohibiting a free exercisethereof, thus building a wall of
(18:36):
separation between church andstate, adhering to this
expression of the supreme willof the nation in behalf of the
rights of consciousness, I shallsee with sincere satisfaction
the progress of those sentimentswhich tend to restore to man
(18:56):
all his natural rights,convinced he will have no
natural rights in opposition tohis social duties.
"
JIm (19:05):
Powerful words.
Robin (19:06):
Powerful words.
So how do we solve a problemlike the Heritage Foundation?
(feel free to sing it!) Well,you got to create a law that
separates church and state.
Religion is already protectedunder the Constitution, under
the First Amendment, in two ways, which Thomas Jefferson was
talking about in his DanburyLetters.
(19:27):
First, we have theEstablishment Clause that
government cannot establish areligion.
I think the Heritage Foundationforgot that part.
So in order for them toestablish Christianity as a
religion of America, they haveto destroy the Constitution,
(19:49):
which will lead to, ultimately,a fascist society where they
want sole/soul control overpeople, and by making
Christianity their one truereligion.
JIm (20:03):
By the way, that sounds vaguely familiar.
I can't remember where it wasthat they wanted to do that
again.
Oh yes, ISIS.
Robin (20:19):
Then you also have the exercise clause, which protects
a citizen's right to practiceany and I do emphasize any
religion they choose to practice.
JIm (20:27):
But they want it to go away .
They literally have modeledProject 2025, after the Taliban.
Robin (20:35):
This sounds like I'm beating up religion, but trust
me, I'm really not.
I actually admire religion forits core value.
It just wants us to be decentand good human beings.
If you actually practice whatit preaches and at your core you
are a good human being, youwouldn't feel the need for what
(20:55):
the Heritage Foundation andthese other organizations are
trying to do.
They need to control.
Control comes from fear.
They fear that they are notrelevant because their numbers
of people attending churches aredeclining.
(21:15):
Well, take a look at yourself.
There, my church organizations.
You are excluding people.
We're still trying to deal withthe priest pedophile scandals.
Now your churches areworshiping at an alter ego,
republican Jesus, becausehelping people is pussy shit, as
, according to one of yourchurch goers shouted out to a
(21:37):
priest who was discussing the Beattitudes, which is just to Be
Kind.
Yeah, my church organizations,you might want to look at fixing
yourself first before trying toforce everyone else into your
chaos.
(21:58):
So if you create this bill toensure pastors, board members
and governing bodies of thechurch entity itself are not
allowed to take any part in anypolitical organization, no
political lobbying, no politicalPACs.
JIm (22:19):
But if a person wants to make a donation, that's fine.
But a religious person wants tomake a donation, that's fine,
but if a religious organizationwants to, no.
Robin (22:31):
Because our founding fathers started this country
because we were getting taxedwithout representation in
England.
So if churches wantrepresentation in the political
government, then how about wetax them?
It's pretty simple.
Absolutely, you think thatyou're part of the system.
(22:51):
Well then, okay, buddy, thenyou pay up.
You're no longer considered achurch and you are no longer
considered tax-free.
JIm (23:01):
And at the point that religious groups are allowed to
continue to lobby, then I mean,you never know, the IRA could
start lobbying.
Robin (23:11):
So if they want to lose their tax-exempt status back,
then they need to take a certainpercentage of their ties that
they get and they need to takethat and help out their local
communities.
JIm (23:29):
Honestly, the way I see it is at the point that you have a
church that has $5 million thatthey can donate to some
political organization.
No, no, that's $5 million thatyou can use in the community to
help the homeless and the peoplethat need to be fed and clothed
, and the shit that you'resupposed to be doing.
Robin (23:49):
That's our solution for part of that problem.
Whether the government doesthat, who the fuck knows?
Like I said, this is also parttherapy here for us.
This is leading up to theelection.
This is leading up to theelection, but first I would
really actually honestly like tothank Joe for starting to
(24:09):
actually fix some of the thingsthat needed to be straightened
out a long time, like studentloans.
That was an impossiblypredatory situation that has
become impossible for our youngpeople to get out from
underneath that debt.
I am personally one whoactually benefited from that and
I would like to say thank you,my man.
Now also your infrastructurebill.
(24:32):
That has helped so many issuesthat have long, long been
neglected that I would like topoint out that the Republicans
voted against and are out hereduring the election to make sure
that they take the credit forit.
So I'm asking you, america, ifthey are not voting the way that
(24:52):
you want them to vote, why areyou re-electing them?
JIm (24:56):
Just because it's easy to check the Republicans-only box.
Looking at you, OklahomaDoesn't make it right.
Own every single vote that youcast.
Check every single box, notjust one, but vote them out.
(Please lets stop single partyvoting ballots, that is how
Oklahoma got Ryan Walters.
Not joking.
)
Robin (25:12):
There is one question, though, that keeps repeating in
my head this whole entirefucking election cycle.
And my dear Republican Party,what the fuck do you stand for?
Honestly, when I was a kid, youwere for family values.
You made sure that the middleclass was strong, our economy
(25:33):
was top of the world, yousupported our vets, or at least
you acted like you did.
Then you gave tax breaks to therich, promising the middle
class that, oh, those willtrickle down to you, but instead
the taxes on the middle classhave increased.
You've allowed banks to dounsustainable loans that have
(25:53):
crashed the housing market andthe banking markets.
Now young people can't evenafford a home, and you wonder
why young people aren't havingany kids.
You've made it impossible forthem to afford a family, and now
you want life to be all aboutwork.
How much emotional support am Igoing to be able to give a kid
(26:17):
if all I'm doing is thinkingabout work?
I can't give them any emotionalsupport.
All I'm giving them is maybesome financial support, but even
that, you haven't increased thewages since 2019, so that's 15
years and a pandemic on top ofthat.
You can't expect families tokeep doing everything in your
(26:39):
power to keep afloat, when youare not going to help them.
It may have been that I wasyoung and perceived that you
actually cared about themilitary, especially around the
World War I and II remembrances,but instead my parents and
grandparents, you all, have runopen arms to create this ideal
(27:02):
fascist, christian theocraticgovernment.
I know that you can feel thechange and I know that the
change is coming and it scaresyou, but you also got to know.
I'm going to let you in on alittle secret.
Come here, WE ALL DIE SOMEDAY!A nd, in the immortal words of
(27:25):
my elders, to show you theproper respect, I am going to
quote you directly "Suck it up".
I also have another secret thatI will share with you.
You may want to come a littlecloser for this one, because I
want to make sure that youreally understand this one.
Okay, you are still fuckingalive.
(27:48):
I don't know.
Why not, maybe try and enjoyyour life.
Maybe try setting down thehatred of everything and
everyone, because I'm looking atyou, my parents and
grandparents, and that lookslike a hell of a heavy load of
hatred that you're carryingaround.
Do you really want to carry allthat?
Why don't you set the fuckinghatred down a little bit?
(28:12):
Because you didn't like thechoices that you made in your
life or how things didn't workout for you.
For some reason you didn't likesomeone because they're
different, or the other peopleare living their lives the way
that they want to, and you chosecomfort instead of facing fears
of rejection and what otherspeople would think of you or
(28:35):
even thinking maybe you're notgood enough.
Does that mean the entirecountry has to suffer from your
lack of authenticity withinyourself?
Woo, I think I just got on mysoapbox there A little too hard
there.
But seriously, republicansduring the Civil War you wanted
(28:58):
to end slavery and have morefederal regulations, and
Democrats were for states'rights and pro-slavery.
Now we're the complete opposite.
How the fuck did we go frompassing all that legislation and
then, in a hundred years nowyou want that all to go away and
completely back the idea thatdemocracy itself isn't working
(29:22):
for us anymore.
So we're gonna be the only onesin charge and we need to
restrict everything and there'sonly going to be one religion.
And to the women who supportthe Heritage Foundation or any
of their offshoots, I'm going tolet you in on a serious secret.
(29:42):
Because, honey, just becauseyou helped organize and pay for
all that shit does not mean thatyou are the exception to the
rule that women will be seen andnot heard.
You're not.
They will expect you to beAdam's good little rib.
(30:06):
Silent.
Another change that happenedover our 50 years, is elections
used to be about how the bestand most qualified person for
the job.
The election cycle is where youheard about their policies,
(30:26):
what they wanted to do, how wastheir personal character?
Did it align with your beliefs?
Now it seems like it's partyover logic.
I noticed this around 2009 whenW was leaving.
Obama was kind of coming in andthe formation of the Tea Party
began.
This is when I feel theRepublican Party lost itself in
(30:50):
hatred, bigotry and fear, andthey have been buried under that
weight since.
And you have to figure out whatyou stand for, my Republicans,
because if that is your onlyplatform, I'm out.
The rest of the country shouldbe too, because the entire
(31:11):
country cannot support theweight of that much bigotry,
fear and hate.
So figure out your shit,republicans.
Take it to the shit store, takeit to the shit museum, I don't
care, but figure your shit out.
But anyway, the fun doesn't evenstop there.
We still have a few states likeduring the election that kind
(31:34):
of changed some of their laws.
Of course some of those haven'tquite fully taken effect yet,
but Jim will kind of cover thathere in just a second.
JIm (31:44):
Georgia.
Robin (31:45):
Georgia.
JIm (31:47):
Georgia.
Their big bill was SB 189, andyou've already got several
groups filed lawsuits to stopthe enforcement of this bill.
Georgia's had a bunch of these.
One of them was the no food, nowater in the election line that
got shot down before it everwas enacted.
There have been two that wereunfortunately enacted.
One of them enables privateindividuals to challenge the
(32:10):
eligibility of voters whoseaddress is determined to be
quote, unquote non-residential.
This is despite the fact thatGeorgia does not have a residing
residential address to be ableto vote.
Now for people that don'tunderstand this, this yes, it
does affect homeless people.
That is the biggest group thatit affects is homeless people,
(32:32):
but it also affects women indomestic shelters that are
trying to keep their significantother from finding out their
address.
Also, certain drugrehabilitation centers are
business addresses, notresidential addresses.
Even though you are residingthere, you can still vote.
After a certain point inrecovery, you can still vote.
(32:52):
After a certain point inrecovery, you can still vote.
But these people are beingcompletely excluded by this law
and discriminated against.
Grandma can't vote becauseshe's in the nursing home,
because her address is no longerconsidered a residential
address.
Again, like I said, you havethe AFL-CIO and several other
groups that have filed numerouslawsuits.
Robin (33:12):
So I feel like we've spent a lot of time in the dark,
so let's move to the light,shall we?
JIm (33:20):
Head towards the light, Carol Ann.
Robin (33:22):
Now we're going to be looking at both candidates,
comparing them.
Like they're going for the jobinterview, okay.
Or like you're dating them.
JIm (33:31):
Oh God.
Robin (33:32):
Yeah, we will be looking at their personalities.
We're going to compare theirfamily lives, their policies.
We're going to compare themtogether and some, like
financial, we will separate itand that will be the last thing
that we discuss today.
So first up, we've got littleDonnie.
Little Donnie has three wives,five kids, eight to nine
(33:54):
grandkids Well, almost ninegrandkids, Inherited his wealth,
has had four bankruptciesassociated with his business One
in 91, one in 92, one in 04,and one in 09.
Now Kamala has had one husband,two stepkids, all later in life
in 2014,.
(34:14):
Has worked as a lawyer, workedin the city, state and federal
government.
Just in those sentences alonetells me a lot of information.
Little Donnie is always lookingfor his next big thing.
That's what you get goingthrough three wives.
He really doesn't actinterested in his family, his
(34:34):
entire life.
He seems very unsatisfied and Ikind of wonder if him getting
everything and never reallyearning anything really is kind
of part of that, plus his fourbankruptcies, one of which I'd
like to mention was a casinostill don't know how you do that
.
Who the hell do you bankrupt acasino?
(34:55):
My dude.
The house always wins.
JIm (34:59):
It's impressive.
I mean that takes effort.
Robin (35:01):
This tells me you're not really good at business.
I take a look at her and it'sjust kind of like she was more
focused on her career untillater in life when she found
someone.
Not her kids, but took part inraising them so she can handle
conflict and can adapt.
Her work speaks for itself inthe government and in legal
(35:23):
standing.
Whereas I would like to addthat little Donnie has 34 felony
convictions.
Which, if I'm being honest here, how doesn't that automatically
disqualify you as a candidate?
Is beyond me.
But I guess that's one of thesolutions that we need to add.
A no convicted felon can runfor public office, for president
(35:48):
of the United States, but weactually have no law in the book
like this.
Because here we are, aconvicted felon is running for
the highest office and no onegives a shit.
Blows my mind.
It blows my fucking mind.
Also, notice how they both speakin their speeches Like Kamala
(36:11):
is always using we, whereasDonnie uses mostly I.
That Kamala is more we, thecountry, and we are more served
to the people.
Donnie's just a classicnarcissist who can only think of
himself and loves the fact thathe can say anything and his
(36:32):
core base followers love him forit and believe everything as
truth.
He tells you who he is in hisbook from the 1980s, the Art of
the Deal, and this is a directquote from the book.
"I would also like to add thefinal key to the way I promote
(36:53):
is bravado.
I play people's fantasies.
People do not always think bigthemselves, but they get very
excited by those who do.
That's why a little hyperbolenever hurts.
People want to believe insomething is the biggest, the
greatest and the mostspectacular.
(37:14):
I call it truthful hyperbole.
It is an innocent form ofexaggeration and is a very
effective form of promotion.
" So, in other words, donnie,you lie.
JIm (37:30):
Baffle them with bullshit.
Robin (37:34):
Donnie has tariffs and Kamala is armed with help for
small business startups.
I think the news really coveredthis one well.
I don't think we need to spendmuch time on it.
But I would like you to beaware that Kamala will actually
cite which economists agree withher plan.
That will work.
When Trump can't even name oneeconomist in any of his recorded
(38:00):
speeches that thinks raisingthe tariffs is a good idea to
try and get out of inflation.
The reason why is because thereis no one who thinks that
raising tariffs is a good idea.
So let's discuss the VPs beforewe start talking about Donna or
(38:21):
Donnie and Kamala separately.
Now you need to remember thisfrom your civics class, if
they're still fucking teachingthat.
(by the way) I know that theydon't in Oklahoma.
But the VP does not set policy.
They only support policy andwork across the aisle to get
(38:42):
bills passed.
So no, she didn't set anypolicies during Biden's
presidency and don't startacting like everyone has.
Because that's not how any ofthis shit works.
Okay, may I recommend pickingup a book or an audiobook on how
the government is supposed towork.
(39:03):
Now, how you think it shouldare two different things there,
my folks.
So let's talk about JD Vance.
I can honestly say I have noidea what this man stands for.
He will say whatever it is tothe highest bidder, if it will
get him ahead, that's what he isgoing to support.
(39:25):
How are you supposed to respectthat?
But what he doesn't realize isthat when you live
unauthentically, you reallystand for nothing.
Because you don't stand in yourbeliefs, because you have none.
Someone is paying you to havetheir beliefs and their ideals,
(39:51):
and JD, you better hope to Godhe doesn't get elected, because
if he's going to throw you underthe bus so fast, you will not
know what happens until it is 10late, plus just the way he
talks about his family.
JIm (40:05):
Oh yeah, he wants to deny he even has a fucking family at
this point.
Robin (40:09):
And then Tim Wall, which is like every dad I remember
growing up.
He is a man led by the heart.
He has strong beliefs andconvictions.
He knows how to work across theaisle, i f you will, working
with both parties to achieve agoal and pass meaningful
legislation that will actuallyhelp the American people, that
(40:31):
will actually help the Americanpeople.
As you know, I'm an empath whoalso has ADHD and on the
spectrum, and knowing that hisson, who is mostly nonverbal,
and he was able to be in thestadium with all those people
and all that noise and be ableto vocalize how proud of his dad
he was in that kind ofenvironment, blew me away in how
(40:55):
much they supported Gus.
JIm (40:58):
Absolutely.
Robin (40:59):
Showed me that he is a caring man who only has the best
intentions for his family andfor this country.
Now let's look at the top threedonors of Kamala.
For what differences?
For Trump's?
Because 4 through 14 are thesame as Donnie's, so they're
just hedging their bets.
(41:20):
But Kamala's largest donors arethe Future Forward USA.
Chauncey McLean is thepresident.
The big thing that they want tomake sure is that the Democrats
have a lot of advertising.
They have donated around about$57 million, so just to keep the
math simple.
Another one is the AmericanBridge.
21st Century.
(41:41):
Founder is David Brock, Currentpresident is Pat Dennis, and
I'm going to round that one downto like $31 million.
Then we've got Bloomberg LP.
Current CEO is Vlad Klitschko.
Founders are Mike Bloomberg,Thomas Secunda, Charles Zeger
(42:03):
and Duncan.
McMillan, and they've done itaround around 19 million.
What does concern me about the14 that are hedging their bets
is how many are involved in theHeritage Foundations and the
other organizations that wetalked about.
So now let's talk to Donnie.
Donnie is a bit of a differentcandidate.
(42:24):
I'm going to get some shit forsaying this, but I really do
feel sorry for these people whoget wrapped up in these
conspiracies so much thatthey've abandoned their families
and loved ones to pursue them.
I can't tell you how much thatsaddens me to see that happen to
people.
I hope that you can join us inreality sometime soon here, guys
(42:47):
, but you gotta set it down.
It's getting too heavy for you.
Just set that conspiracy theorydown and now back to our
regularly scheduled program.
But as Gen Xers we grew up on,like Kennedy conspiracy theories
, the moon landing, like fuck,the Bermuda Triangle.
I mean, the only part of theBermuda Triangle that's true is
(43:09):
that planes and ships went down,but the reasons are, like you
know, rogue wave.
Well, that could actually bereal, but like aliens, or you
know time vortex texts orportals black holes
yeah, or the, the kraken.
Let's go back to in the in theway back machine here, jim.
(43:30):
Let's go back to trump versushillary, where what we have?
An illuminati like cabal ofmembers of the deep state in a
pedophilic pizza party wherethey drink adrenochrome from
aborted babies I think therewere vampires in there somewhere
.
But the pieces of truth in this, because at least the Bermuda
(43:55):
Triangle had a piece of truth.
The moon landing had a piece oftruth.
They landed on the moon.
Conspiracy theories.
Well, Kennedy did get shot, butwhy and how?
Well, that's the mystery that'swrapped in the enigma.
But I would need to know thatin 2015, Virginia Giuffre's
filed a defamation lawsuitagainst Maxwell and Epstein.
(44:20):
So let me remind you again whothe pedophile was.
I don't think that was a dragqueen.
Anyways.
But the other part of truththere is this Illuminati cabal.
Well, the Illuminati itself wasactually a church organization.
What is the Heritage Foundation?
JIm (44:42):
A church organization.
A church organization.
Robin (44:44):
Dum, dum dum.
This is where we get into thebullshit folks.
He just wants to keep his assout of jail at this point, which
is really the only reason whyhe's running again.
He thinks that if he is electedhe can pardon himself and make
things all better.
Goddamn America.
(45:06):
We deserve a better class ofcriminals.
I feel like Small Hands Bugsyfrom the Looney tunes is a
fucking goddamn criminalmastermind compared to this shit
, Jesus and I do mean republicanJesus so let's wrap this bitch
up in a pretty bow and talkabout his donors.
Donnie has six top donors thatare not on Kamala's donor list
(45:29):
that we have to talk about, butthe rest of don's list and
Kamala's matches, so we're notgoing to give them quite the
same amount of time, but you doneed to understand that they're
just hedging their bets on thevoting crap wheel of dysfunction
.
So who are these top six donors, jim?
JIm (45:50):
Well, we've already mentioned, not only is he
Timothy Milton,(donating 125million) not only is he a
Heritage First Foundation member, but he's also on the board of
the America First PolicyInstitute, which is his second
largest donor at $16 million.
So again, he's hedging his betsthere.
He's on both sides of the fence.
America First is the AmericaFirst Policy Institute that's
(46:12):
headed by Linda McMahon,recently divorced from Vince
McMahon, and she is very muchgung-ho PragerU.
She loves the whole idea ofhomeschooling and churches being
involved in the schools.
Hendrix Holding they're theanomaly and literally the only
issue I can find in their other.
(46:33):
Donating is to a pro-Israelcompany that's actually the
Israeli Military Institute ofTechnology, bigelow Aerospace.
Robert Bigelow is a very uniqueindividual and all I will say
about him is he used to ownSkinwalker Ranch.
Used to own Skinwalker Ranch.
He is known to befriend peopleon the far fringes of the far
(46:56):
right, but at the same time hefirmly believes in aliens.
I'm sure they're of a specifichue when they get here.
The Perlmutter Foundation isit's nothing.
I mean, it's literally.
Again, it's pro-Israel, but notto the extreme.
As the Hendrick Holding Companyis Uniline Inc.
(47:17):
There is very little officesupply, sanitation, bulk items
like that that they don't havetheir hands in.
I guess it's actually kind ofcreepy how much they have their
hands in.
Robin (47:31):
So what does that mean for you, my little punks?
It means that Donnie isessentially a whore who goes to
the highest bidder, and theclear winner in that is the
Heritage Foundation andCorporate America, where they
want Donnie to be the CEO ofAmerica and let them do whatever
the fuck they want.
Who ends up paying that price?
We do.
(47:51):
We, the people.
We will pay for that shit.
We will lose our constitutionalfreedoms because they will have
to destroy that before they canput the one nation under
Republican Jesus.
So can I get a hell to the NO?
This is why we need you to vote.
This is why you need to give ashit.
My little younglings, it's ourchoice.
(48:13):
Remember there are more of youthan there are of them, but you
got to make a choice.
And remember, not choosing is achoice, and if you choose that
path, I'm going to slap somestraight up playground Gen X
wisdom on you.
"You cannot bitch aboutanything, about any side,
(48:37):
because you didn't have theballs to choose a side.
So please remember, we all haveto choose and, my younglings, I
know this sounds daunting andkind of ew, but we need to get
more involved in this.
Democracy requires effort and Iwill be the first to admit, as a
(49:00):
Gen Xer, I hate this shit.
I once again here, I am callingit out and asking for help from
my brothers and sisters here.
This is about hope.
This is about creating OURfuture.
Their time is done.
We need to stand in our powerand push back against the hatred
(49:23):
, because, god damn, it has been50 years of this shit.
Let's change some goddamnchannels, shall we?
It's our hope that this hashelped you along your way in
making a better decision forthis election season, but please
don't forget to overanalyzeyour local senators and your
(49:45):
house members that are up forre-election as well.
If they are not voting the wayyou want them to vote, what do
you do?
You vote them out.
Go forth, vote, be sparklylittle entities that I know that
you are, and next time that wecome back, it will probably be
just before Thanksgiving.
(50:06):
I might drop the episode alittle bit earlier, but we're
going to be discussinggenerational trauma, you know,
just in time for the holidays,so you can sit there and analyze
your family and going oh dearGod, did I come from that?
Yeah, you did so.
Until next time, my littlepunks.
JIm (50:27):
Peace.
Robin (50:28):
Keep it safe, keep it real and keep it punk.
Good night.
Welcome to the Kicked Can Generations podcast.
I'm your host, Robin Duncan,along with our magnificent Jim
Murphy.
JIm (00:06):
Greetings.
Robin (00:07):
Here's hoping that your October was spooky and fun, and
now that we're reaching November, today we're going to discuss a
couple topics that I think area little spookier than Halloween
.
JIm (00:17):
I come in on the really spooky parts.
Robin (00:20):
We're briefly going to discuss Project 2025 and also
the upcoming election.
JIm (00:25):
Yay.
Robin (00:26):
Those who are not familiar with Project 2025, it
is a manifesto, if you will,brought to you by the Heritage
Foundation, the American FirstPolicy Institute, the Federalist
Society or, as we like to callit, the Trinity of Terror.
JIm (00:43):
Dun, dun dun.
Robin (00:45):
And it doesn't stop there because there's a hundred
other-plus organizationsinvolved with this as well.
I like to call this the Tale ofTwo Jesuses Because you got the
OG Jesus from the Bible andthen, in about the 70s to about
2015, jesus has been kind ofreworking himself, creating an
(01:06):
alter ego that is nothing likethe OG that we'll call
Republican Jesus.
This one does not feed themasses, he does not heal people
unless he is getting a cut ofthe prophets, and the Be
attitudes in the Bible is somestraight up pussy shit,
according to some of hisfollowers.
And as the telling of the talegoes from about 2015 to current
(01:30):
day, this is where we're at.
But make no mistakes, theChristian nationalist movement
is strong and painfully whiteovertones.
It's nothing more than adusting off of the colonizer's
playbook that dates way back.
The British, I think, areprobably the biggest users that
(01:51):
come to mind.
You know, ridding such lands ofbarbarians such as the savage
Celts, the Native Americans andthe Indians India.
Taking piece of other people'sculture and treating it as it
was theirs.
Now, the rise of the ChristianNational Movement really started
with the Ronald Reagan era,where he gave huge support to
(02:15):
people like James Dobson andJerry Falwell.
JIm (02:18):
Also, don't forget Pat Robertson from the 700 Club.
Robin (02:21):
This leads to the rise of the moral majority in the 80s,
creating a toxic religioussuperiority where they feel that
they can save the world throughsuperior spirituality by taking
away the free will of everyone.
But during this time periodthey became more opposed to
(02:44):
abortion, became more militantin worming its way into politics
and more and more lately it hasbeen taken over by racism.
Now, sadly, we have a lot ofCongress members that are still
in office from that time period.
That's 50 years.
JIm (03:03):
Looking at you, Tom Cole.
Robin (03:04):
Also looking at you, Chuck Grassley, and we might
want to put some stronger termlimits in there, kind of solve
this problem a little bit.
But you know, what do I know?
Now you need to lay down someimportant dates for you, just so
you can get a time frame ofwhen all this is happening and
we will be discussing what canhappen and hopefully lead to
(03:27):
some possible solutions here.
In 1973, roe versus Wade, whichlasted until 2022, giving us 49
years of reproductive healthcare for women.
In 1974 is when women wereallowed to have credit cards,
giving women 48 years offinancial freedom for more,
(03:51):
women were starting to work moreand more at that time period.
Now, in 1920, is when we gotthe right to vote for women.
So 104 years of that.
So 104 years of that.
African Americans 1870, the 15thAmendment removed racial
barriers to voting, but itwasn't really until 1965 with
(04:31):
the Voting Act.
That was only 154 years thatslavery ended and only 59 years
of voting rights.
In 1964, the Civil Rights Acthas given us 60 years of
so-called better equality, buteven still, we can do so much
more than what we have.
In 1969 was the Stonewall Riotsfor the LBGTQ+, so that's given
55 years of us trying to getbetter equality, but once again,
the LBGTQ+ is still trying tofight for their rights to be
(04:51):
heard.
I feel we can do so much betterthan what we are currently
doing.
So this kind of shows you thatthere is really not a lot of
time difference here.
I feel as if we're juststarting to get our footing in
these rights and alreadysomebody wants to come and take
them away again.
I'm not sure who needs to hearthis, but rights are not a
(05:13):
limited resource.
Do you breathe?
Are you alive?
Then, baby, you got rights.
So what exactly is the ultimategoal of the Heritage Foundation
?
JIm (05:27):
World domination.
Robin (05:29):
To recolonize an already colonized country to where
Christianity is the onlyreligion.
We know from their littlemanifesto that they want to
return power back to the states,allow corporations to do
whatever they want Eliminatefederal jobs, increase
(05:54):
discrimination across the board,especially for anyone they do
not like or disagrees with theirmoral majority, restricting
reproductive rights, limitingaccess to health care,
decreasing what they call entitor what I like to call helping
people out.
That's kind of what I thoughtthe original OG Christianity
major policy was.
That must be in my Trump Bible.
(06:16):
You know that I could get for$59.99, wrapped in cellophane
and touched by God.
So if you guys need a ride tohell, jim and I are going to
rent a party bus Because, livinghere in Oklahoma, we've been
told that there's a specialplace in hell for us.
So I think it would be rude forus to decline such VIP
treatment and, you know, mightas well show up in style.
(06:39):
So let us know if you need aride, guys.
Okay.
JIm (06:42):
I got shotgun.
Robin (06:43):
So the key principles and highlights of the Project 2025
is..
.
JIm (06:50):
World Domination.
I mean seriously, there's noother way to put it.
Robin (06:52):
They want to strip everything that you think of as
your God-given right.
Depends, on which God.
So what they want to do withlabor is that they want to cut
overtime, they want to cut jobcreation programs, they want to
manipulate the data thatbusinesses rely on to keep the
economy functioning byconsolidating agencies, and they
(07:15):
also want to eliminate childlabor protections.
JIm (07:19):
Now this is where I get to have fun chiming in, because the
labor aspect of this for me,hits home, especially with the
fact that they want to do awaywith the labor unions, and most
people think of labor unionslike the Teamsters, the Auto
Workers Union, the AirlineUnions.
It also includes groups likethe IAFF, which is the
International Firefighters Union.
(07:39):
The striking ability we have islimited at best, but if you're
going to take away everything,then you already have a shortage
of firefighters and paramedics.
You're just going to make iteven worse.
The child labor protectionspecifically.
What they're wanting to do,especially in certain states, is
make it to where not only cankids work longer hours during
school year and on school nights, but also work in jobs like
(08:04):
coal mine, meatpacking plant,butcher places the jobs that
back in the 20s and 30s,immigrant kids did because there
was nothing else available tothem, and we figured out pretty
quick that that was a bad idea.
Robin (08:16):
The other thing that they want to do is they want to get
rid of assistance programs.
They want to decrease orcompletely eliminate altogether
food assistance.
Eliminate Head Start.
Eliminate disability benefits,especially for vets.
Remove safety nets for farmers.
Eliminate public transportationprojects.
JIm (08:35):
And for those of you that think oh well, you know I don't
participate in food assistanceor Head Start or any of these.
You don't right now, but youdon't know what may happen
further down the road.
Nobody sets out wanting to beon food stamps.
Nobody sets out wanting to beon disability.
Robin (08:52):
But then you have things like the pandemic that come up
and all of a sudden ourinflation costs are through the
roof and I got news for you.
JIm (08:59):
If you think the price of your eggs is expensive or bacon
is expensive, now take awaythose farm subsidies and see
what happens.
Robin (09:06):
It's going to be astronomical.
Folks, healthcare andreproductive rights supporting
companies charging for what theywant for medications or
services, ending medications forabortions even though people
use it for other things.
Privatizing Medicare and HIPAAmay as well not even exist.
JIm (09:24):
Oh, hipaa won't exist the programs that they want to roll
out.
They will literally track ayoung girl's menstrual cycle and
know when when she'smenstruating, when she's not,
when she might be pregnant, whenshe's not, if she had a
miscarriage.
They'll have it all documentedit the amount of government
interference into your healthcare system that this would
(09:44):
allow.
I don't see how any Republicanwho screams for limited
government could think that thiswas a good idea.
Robin (09:51):
They also want to enable discrimination across the board,
making it harder to serveunderserved communities for
medical assistance, as the HeadStart and other programs.
Start and other programsdecreasing gender equality,
increasing discriminationagainst LBGTQ plus in regards to
adoption and foster care.
JIm (10:11):
For a group of people that keep screaming about it's all
for the kids, it's all for thekids, it's all for the kids.
Ok then, that's all the kids,every single one of them.
You have couples out there, youhave families out there that
want these children, and becauseyou don't agree with their
whatever religious, ethnic,sexual background, you're going
(10:31):
to deny this child-loving home.
Well, that's how veryRepublican, jesus, of you.
Robin (10:40):
They also want to eliminate government or
consolidate government agenciesthat overlook corporate America
that keep them in line.
JIm (10:44):
Yeah and honestly the scary part is most of those agencies,
agencies that overlookcorporate America and keep them
in line.
Yeah, and honestly it's, it's.
The scary part is is is most ofthose agencies they don't have
a lot of teeth.
To begin with, I mean, the EPAcan go after polluters to a
certain extent.
Then the justice department hasto get involved.
Robin (10:58):
But they want to eliminate the EPA, NOAA.
I don't understand why they'vehit rid of.
JIm (11:03):
NOAA, yeah, I don't either.
Robin (11:04):
Is it just because of the environmental?
JIm (11:07):
I guess they don't believe in that.
Yeah, it's another one of if wedon't talk about it, it doesn't
exist.
Robin (11:13):
Oh, that works really well.
JIm (11:14):
Yeah.
Robin (11:17):
They want to expand oil and natural gas on public lands
and water, which is going toincrease health care for all of
us.
And then we come to educationCutting federal loans for higher
education, zero protectionsagainst discriminations across
the board, especially LBGTQ+, topush their ideological agendas.
(11:39):
I mean I can turn directly tothe Oklahoma Department of
Education and the man in chargehimself, Ryan motherfucking
Walters.
JIm (11:48):
Ryan Walters needs to be, at the very least, impeached.
The list of lawsuits that arestacking up against him, that
are going to drain money fromthe taxpayers' wallets of the
state of Oklahoma, whichinevitably will come out of the
education slush fund of thestate of Oklahoma.
Robin (12:06):
Now, Ryan Walter, if you want to see what the Heritage
Foundation is doing, please paymore attention to what's going
on in Oklahoma and theirDepartment of Education, because
this is what's going to happen,and roll out nationwide if they
get their way.
JIm (12:21):
Also check out PragerU's website to give you an idea of
exactly what kind of curriculumthey have in mind, because it is
a very sanitized version ofhistory.
Robin (12:32):
So you need to be aware, folks.
Let's just put it that way,please.
I do encourage you.
Look at Oklahoma.
We're 49th in Education.
This could be rolling outacross the country.
So congratulations, welcome toPragerU.
Now they also want to eliminateand replace federal jobs with
(12:54):
those who are loyal to theHeritage Foundation and their
ideals.
They want to force out expertsand eliminate agencies or
combine them so they don'tactually work anymore.
So the Chevron Act, which waseliminated by the Supreme Court,
as well as unsecuring securityclearance to people who have no
(13:17):
damn right to know any of thisshit, is now going to have
access to it.
JIm (13:23):
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, you're literallytalking like the young Air
National Guard teenager that gota hold of, and was sharing, top
secret information that hewasn't supposed to have access
to, but he gained access to it,just for a clerical error and a
slip-up.
This isn't a clerical error ora slip-up.
This is literally, we're givingthe fox the keys to the hen
house and telling him to guardit for the freaking night.
Robin (13:44):
So the Heritage Foundation, as well as the
America First Policy Institute,who is already trying to rebrand
Project 2025, by the way, Iwish I was joking on this, but I
am not Look it up.
JIm (13:58):
Yeah, they've rebranded it as the 2025 Guide to Leadership.
Robin (14:02):
We've already got one marketing redo here, so just be
aware.
But they also have a lobbyingcomponent to their plan and I
swear to God that they havethese bills already written up
and what they are trying to dois just get them into the hands
of who is in power to get theball rolling.
So a senator or acongressperson doesn't even have
(14:26):
to do anything.
They just have to hand in thehomework assignment that they
give them, which is why I thinksome of them are doing it,
because it looks like they'redoing something when actually
they're doing nothing.
Now I want to take a look attheir component of lobbying,
because when Donald Trump waselected in 2016 just to give you
(14:50):
an idea of how much they'veincreased their lobbying since
Donald Trump was in office, so,like the year before Donald
Trump came in, they had 39 billsthat they were sponsoring.
Then, in 2016, when Donnie hits, we got 54.
2017, we have 43.
(15:13):
2018, we've got 54.
2019, we have 92.
Now we're coming up on 2020 now.
So remember they had a littlebit more on their plate at that
time period, so they weren'treally passing like a lot of
(15:34):
legislation.
So I think that a lot of thelegislation that they handed in
during that year actually moveddown to the next year, because
in 2020 they had 74 bills, butin 2021, even though Joe Biden
just got in, they had 105.
A 105.
Then in 2022 they had 84, 2023they have 95 and in 2024 already
(16:03):
we have 94 bills that they aretrying to get through.
Are you seeing the problem here?
Now, the reason I want todiscuss this before talking
about the election is that youall need to be aware of this,
that this problem is not goinganywhere.
In fact, it feels more likethey are just going to rebrand
(16:25):
themselves, like racism has overthe years, because Jim and I
grew up and the Klan was stillaround with their hooded robes
at that point.
Then, in the 80s and 90s, theyrebranded to skinheads.
Now what was it 2016?
We had tiki torches andHawaiian shirts.
So you need to keep your eyesopen, because this shit is not
(16:45):
going anywhere.
JIm (16:47):
Still all the same.
14 words.
Robin (16:49):
And do you mind sharing those 14 words?
Google it.
JIm (16:54):
If you don't know what it means, Google 14 words.
Robin (16:58):
I know that they love their Bible verses and also they
really do love assuming whatour founding fathers think.
So here is Matthew 22 (17:05):
21.
"Render therefore unto Caesarthe things which are Caesar's
and unto God the things that areGod's.
" Man's law and God's law areseparate.
JIm (17:21):
As has been attended since day one.
Robin (17:24):
They are not supposed to cross.
Okay, and then we also have aletter from Thomas Jefferson.
This is his Danbury BaptistAssociation letter of 1802, and
I will post this letter from theLibrary of Congress so you can
read it in its entirety on oursocial media pages.
Okay, but I will read thesecond paragraph to you right
(17:49):
now.
" Believing with you thatreligion is a matter which lies
solely between man and his God,that he owes account to none
other for his faith or hisworship, that the legitimate
power of the government reachactions only and not opinions, I
(18:13):
contemplate with sovereignreverence that act of the whole
American people, which declaredthat their legislation should
make no law respecting anestablishment of religion or
prohibiting a free exercisethereof, thus building a wall of
(18:36):
separation between church andstate, adhering to this
expression of the supreme willof the nation in behalf of the
rights of consciousness, I shallsee with sincere satisfaction
the progress of those sentimentswhich tend to restore to man
(18:56):
all his natural rights,convinced he will have no
natural rights in opposition tohis social duties.
"
JIm (19:05):
Powerful words.
Robin (19:06):
Powerful words.
So how do we solve a problemlike the Heritage Foundation?
(feel free to sing it!) Well,you got to create a law that
separates church and state.
Religion is already protectedunder the Constitution, under
the First Amendment, in two ways, which Thomas Jefferson was
talking about in his DanburyLetters.
(19:27):
First, we have theEstablishment Clause that
government cannot establish areligion.
I think the Heritage Foundationforgot that part.
So in order for them toestablish Christianity as a
religion of America, they haveto destroy the Constitution,
(19:49):
which will lead to, ultimately,a fascist society where they
want sole/soul control overpeople, and by making
Christianity their one truereligion.
JIm (20:03):
By the way, that sounds vaguely familiar.
I can't remember where it wasthat they wanted to do that
again.
Oh yes, ISIS.
Robin (20:19):
Then you also have the exercise clause, which protects
a citizen's right to practiceany and I do emphasize any
religion they choose to practice.
JIm (20:27):
But they want it to go away .
They literally have modeledProject 2025, after the Taliban.
Robin (20:35):
This sounds like I'm beating up religion, but trust
me, I'm really not.
I actually admire religion forits core value.
It just wants us to be decentand good human beings.
If you actually practice whatit preaches and at your core you
are a good human being, youwouldn't feel the need for what
(20:55):
the Heritage Foundation andthese other organizations are
trying to do.
They need to control.
Control comes from fear.
They fear that they are notrelevant because their numbers
of people attending churches aredeclining.
(21:15):
Well, take a look at yourself.
There, my church organizations.
You are excluding people.
We're still trying to deal withthe priest pedophile scandals.
Now your churches areworshiping at an alter ego,
republican Jesus, becausehelping people is pussy shit, as
, according to one of yourchurch goers shouted out to a
(21:37):
priest who was discussing the Beattitudes, which is just to Be
Kind.
Yeah, my church organizations,you might want to look at fixing
yourself first before trying toforce everyone else into your
chaos.
(21:58):
So if you create this bill toensure pastors, board members
and governing bodies of thechurch entity itself are not
allowed to take any part in anypolitical organization, no
political lobbying, no politicalPACs.
JIm (22:19):
But if a person wants to make a donation, that's fine.
But a religious person wants tomake a donation, that's fine,
but if a religious organizationwants to, no.
Robin (22:31):
Because our founding fathers started this country
because we were getting taxedwithout representation in
England.
So if churches wantrepresentation in the political
government, then how about wetax them?
It's pretty simple.
Absolutely, you think thatyou're part of the system.
(22:51):
Well then, okay, buddy, thenyou pay up.
You're no longer considered achurch and you are no longer
considered tax-free.
JIm (23:01):
And at the point that religious groups are allowed to
continue to lobby, then I mean,you never know, the IRA could
start lobbying.
Robin (23:11):
So if they want to lose their tax-exempt status back,
then they need to take a certainpercentage of their ties that
they get and they need to takethat and help out their local
communities.
JIm (23:29):
Honestly, the way I see it is at the point that you have a
church that has $5 million thatthey can donate to some
political organization.
No, no, that's $5 million thatyou can use in the community to
help the homeless and the peoplethat need to be fed and clothed
, and the shit that you'resupposed to be doing.
Robin (23:49):
That's our solution for part of that problem.
Whether the government doesthat, who the fuck knows?
Like I said, this is also parttherapy here for us.
This is leading up to theelection.
This is leading up to theelection, but first I would
really actually honestly like tothank Joe for starting to
(24:09):
actually fix some of the thingsthat needed to be straightened
out a long time, like studentloans.
That was an impossiblypredatory situation that has
become impossible for our youngpeople to get out from
underneath that debt.
I am personally one whoactually benefited from that and
I would like to say thank you,my man.
Now also your infrastructurebill.
(24:32):
That has helped so many issuesthat have long, long been
neglected that I would like topoint out that the Republicans
voted against and are out hereduring the election to make sure
that they take the credit forit.
So I'm asking you, america, ifthey are not voting the way that
(24:52):
you want them to vote, why areyou re-electing them?
JIm (24:56):
Just because it's easy to check the Republicans-only box.
Looking at you, OklahomaDoesn't make it right.
Own every single vote that youcast.
Check every single box, notjust one, but vote them out.
(Please lets stop single partyvoting ballots, that is how
Oklahoma got Ryan Walters.
Not joking.
)
Robin (25:12):
There is one question, though, that keeps repeating in
my head this whole entirefucking election cycle.
And my dear Republican Party,what the fuck do you stand for?
Honestly, when I was a kid, youwere for family values.
You made sure that the middleclass was strong, our economy
(25:33):
was top of the world, yousupported our vets, or at least
you acted like you did.
Then you gave tax breaks to therich, promising the middle
class that, oh, those willtrickle down to you, but instead
the taxes on the middle classhave increased.
You've allowed banks to dounsustainable loans that have
(25:53):
crashed the housing market andthe banking markets.
Now young people can't evenafford a home, and you wonder
why young people aren't havingany kids.
You've made it impossible forthem to afford a family, and now
you want life to be all aboutwork.
How much emotional support am Igoing to be able to give a kid
(26:17):
if all I'm doing is thinkingabout work?
I can't give them any emotionalsupport.
All I'm giving them is maybesome financial support, but even
that, you haven't increased thewages since 2019, so that's 15
years and a pandemic on top ofthat.
You can't expect families tokeep doing everything in your
(26:39):
power to keep afloat, when youare not going to help them.
It may have been that I wasyoung and perceived that you
actually cared about themilitary, especially around the
World War I and II remembrances,but instead my parents and
grandparents, you all, have runopen arms to create this ideal
(27:02):
fascist, christian theocraticgovernment.
I know that you can feel thechange and I know that the
change is coming and it scaresyou, but you also got to know.
I'm going to let you in on alittle secret.
Come here, WE ALL DIE SOMEDAY!A nd, in the immortal words of
(27:25):
my elders, to show you theproper respect, I am going to
quote you directly "Suck it up".
I also have another secret thatI will share with you.
You may want to come a littlecloser for this one, because I
want to make sure that youreally understand this one.
Okay, you are still fuckingalive.
(27:48):
I don't know.
Why not, maybe try and enjoyyour life.
Maybe try setting down thehatred of everything and
everyone, because I'm looking atyou, my parents and
grandparents, and that lookslike a hell of a heavy load of
hatred that you're carryingaround.
Do you really want to carry allthat?
Why don't you set the fuckinghatred down a little bit?
(28:12):
Because you didn't like thechoices that you made in your
life or how things didn't workout for you.
For some reason you didn't likesomeone because they're
different, or the other peopleare living their lives the way
that they want to, and you chosecomfort instead of facing fears
of rejection and what otherspeople would think of you or
(28:35):
even thinking maybe you're notgood enough.
Does that mean the entirecountry has to suffer from your
lack of authenticity withinyourself?
Woo, I think I just got on mysoapbox there A little too hard
there.
But seriously, republicansduring the Civil War you wanted
(28:58):
to end slavery and have morefederal regulations, and
Democrats were for states'rights and pro-slavery.
Now we're the complete opposite.
How the fuck did we go frompassing all that legislation and
then, in a hundred years nowyou want that all to go away and
completely back the idea thatdemocracy itself isn't working
(29:22):
for us anymore.
So we're gonna be the only onesin charge and we need to
restrict everything and there'sonly going to be one religion.
And to the women who supportthe Heritage Foundation or any
of their offshoots, I'm going tolet you in on a serious secret.
(29:42):
Because, honey, just becauseyou helped organize and pay for
all that shit does not mean thatyou are the exception to the
rule that women will be seen andnot heard.
You're not.
They will expect you to beAdam's good little rib.
(30:06):
Silent.
Another change that happenedover our 50 years, is elections
used to be about how the bestand most qualified person for
the job.
The election cycle is where youheard about their policies,
(30:26):
what they wanted to do, how wastheir personal character?
Did it align with your beliefs?
Now it seems like it's partyover logic.
I noticed this around 2009 whenW was leaving.
Obama was kind of coming in andthe formation of the Tea Party
began.
This is when I feel theRepublican Party lost itself in
(30:50):
hatred, bigotry and fear, andthey have been buried under that
weight since.
And you have to figure out whatyou stand for, my Republicans,
because if that is your onlyplatform, I'm out.
The rest of the country shouldbe too, because the entire
(31:11):
country cannot support theweight of that much bigotry,
fear and hate.
So figure out your shit,republicans.
Take it to the shit store, takeit to the shit museum, I don't
care, but figure your shit out.
But anyway, the fun doesn't evenstop there.
We still have a few states likeduring the election that kind
(31:34):
of changed some of their laws.
Of course some of those haven'tquite fully taken effect yet,
but Jim will kind of cover thathere in just a second.
JIm (31:44):
Georgia.
Robin (31:45):
Georgia.
JIm (31:47):
Georgia.
Their big bill was SB 189, andyou've already got several
groups filed lawsuits to stopthe enforcement of this bill.
Georgia's had a bunch of these.
One of them was the no food, nowater in the election line that
got shot down before it everwas enacted.
There have been two that wereunfortunately enacted.
One of them enables privateindividuals to challenge the
(32:10):
eligibility of voters whoseaddress is determined to be
quote, unquote non-residential.
This is despite the fact thatGeorgia does not have a residing
residential address to be ableto vote.
Now for people that don'tunderstand this, this yes, it
does affect homeless people.
That is the biggest group thatit affects is homeless people,
(32:32):
but it also affects women indomestic shelters that are
trying to keep their significantother from finding out their
address.
Also, certain drugrehabilitation centers are
business addresses, notresidential addresses.
Even though you are residingthere, you can still vote.
After a certain point inrecovery, you can still vote.
(32:52):
After a certain point inrecovery, you can still vote.
But these people are beingcompletely excluded by this law
and discriminated against.
Grandma can't vote becauseshe's in the nursing home,
because her address is no longerconsidered a residential
address.
Again, like I said, you havethe AFL-CIO and several other
groups that have filed numerouslawsuits.
Robin (33:12):
So I feel like we've spent a lot of time in the dark,
so let's move to the light,shall we?
JIm (33:20):
Head towards the light, Carol Ann.
Robin (33:22):
Now we're going to be looking at both candidates,
comparing them.
Like they're going for the jobinterview, okay.
Or like you're dating them.
JIm (33:31):
Oh God.
Robin (33:32):
Yeah, we will be looking at their personalities.
We're going to compare theirfamily lives, their policies.
We're going to compare themtogether and some, like
financial, we will separate itand that will be the last thing
that we discuss today.
So first up, we've got littleDonnie.
Little Donnie has three wives,five kids, eight to nine
(33:54):
grandkids Well, almost ninegrandkids, Inherited his wealth,
has had four bankruptciesassociated with his business One
in 91, one in 92, one in 04,and one in 09.
Now Kamala has had one husband,two stepkids, all later in life
in 2014,.
(34:14):
Has worked as a lawyer, workedin the city, state and federal
government.
Just in those sentences alonetells me a lot of information.
Little Donnie is always lookingfor his next big thing.
That's what you get goingthrough three wives.
He really doesn't actinterested in his family, his
(34:34):
entire life.
He seems very unsatisfied and Ikind of wonder if him getting
everything and never reallyearning anything really is kind
of part of that, plus his fourbankruptcies, one of which I'd
like to mention was a casinostill don't know how you do that
.
Who the hell do you bankrupt acasino?
(34:55):
My dude.
The house always wins.
JIm (34:59):
It's impressive.
I mean that takes effort.
Robin (35:01):
This tells me you're not really good at business.
I take a look at her and it'sjust kind of like she was more
focused on her career untillater in life when she found
someone.
Not her kids, but took part inraising them so she can handle
conflict and can adapt.
Her work speaks for itself inthe government and in legal
(35:23):
standing.
Whereas I would like to addthat little Donnie has 34 felony
convictions.
Which, if I'm being honest here, how doesn't that automatically
disqualify you as a candidate?
Is beyond me.
But I guess that's one of thesolutions that we need to add.
A no convicted felon can runfor public office, for president
(35:48):
of the United States, but weactually have no law in the book
like this.
Because here we are, aconvicted felon is running for
the highest office and no onegives a shit.
Blows my mind.
It blows my fucking mind.
Also, notice how they both speakin their speeches Like Kamala
(36:11):
is always using we, whereasDonnie uses mostly I.
That Kamala is more we, thecountry, and we are more served
to the people.
Donnie's just a classicnarcissist who can only think of
himself and loves the fact thathe can say anything and his
(36:32):
core base followers love him forit and believe everything as
truth.
He tells you who he is in hisbook from the 1980s, the Art of
the Deal, and this is a directquote from the book.
"I would also like to add thefinal key to the way I promote
(36:53):
is bravado.
I play people's fantasies.
People do not always think bigthemselves, but they get very
excited by those who do.
That's why a little hyperbolenever hurts.
People want to believe insomething is the biggest, the
greatest and the mostspectacular.
(37:14):
I call it truthful hyperbole.
It is an innocent form ofexaggeration and is a very
effective form of promotion.
" So, in other words, donnie,you lie.
JIm (37:30):
Baffle them with bullshit.
Robin (37:34):
Donnie has tariffs and Kamala is armed with help for
small business startups.
I think the news really coveredthis one well.
I don't think we need to spendmuch time on it.
But I would like you to beaware that Kamala will actually
cite which economists agree withher plan.
That will work.
When Trump can't even name oneeconomist in any of his recorded
(38:00):
speeches that thinks raisingthe tariffs is a good idea to
try and get out of inflation.
The reason why is because thereis no one who thinks that
raising tariffs is a good idea.
So let's discuss the VPs beforewe start talking about Donna or
(38:21):
Donnie and Kamala separately.
Now you need to remember thisfrom your civics class, if
they're still fucking teachingthat.
(by the way) I know that theydon't in Oklahoma.
But the VP does not set policy.
They only support policy andwork across the aisle to get
(38:42):
bills passed.
So no, she didn't set anypolicies during Biden's
presidency and don't startacting like everyone has.
Because that's not how any ofthis shit works.
Okay, may I recommend pickingup a book or an audiobook on how
the government is supposed towork.
(39:03):
Now, how you think it shouldare two different things there,
my folks.
So let's talk about JD Vance.
I can honestly say I have noidea what this man stands for.
He will say whatever it is tothe highest bidder, if it will
get him ahead, that's what he isgoing to support.
(39:25):
How are you supposed to respectthat?
But what he doesn't realize isthat when you live
unauthentically, you reallystand for nothing.
Because you don't stand in yourbeliefs, because you have none.
Someone is paying you to havetheir beliefs and their ideals,
(39:51):
and JD, you better hope to Godhe doesn't get elected, because
if he's going to throw you underthe bus so fast, you will not
know what happens until it is 10late, plus just the way he
talks about his family.
JIm (40:05):
Oh yeah, he wants to deny he even has a fucking family at
this point.
Robin (40:09):
And then Tim Wall, which is like every dad I remember
growing up.
He is a man led by the heart.
He has strong beliefs andconvictions.
He knows how to work across theaisle, i f you will, working
with both parties to achieve agoal and pass meaningful
legislation that will actuallyhelp the American people, that
(40:31):
will actually help the Americanpeople.
As you know, I'm an empath whoalso has ADHD and on the
spectrum, and knowing that hisson, who is mostly nonverbal,
and he was able to be in thestadium with all those people
and all that noise and be ableto vocalize how proud of his dad
he was in that kind ofenvironment, blew me away in how
(40:55):
much they supported Gus.
JIm (40:58):
Absolutely.
Robin (40:59):
Showed me that he is a caring man who only has the best
intentions for his family andfor this country.
Now let's look at the top threedonors of Kamala.
For what differences?
For Trump's?
Because 4 through 14 are thesame as Donnie's, so they're
just hedging their bets.
(41:20):
But Kamala's largest donors arethe Future Forward USA.
Chauncey McLean is thepresident.
The big thing that they want tomake sure is that the Democrats
have a lot of advertising.
They have donated around about$57 million, so just to keep the
math simple.
Another one is the AmericanBridge.
21st Century.
(41:41):
Founder is David Brock, Currentpresident is Pat Dennis, and
I'm going to round that one downto like $31 million.
Then we've got Bloomberg LP.
Current CEO is Vlad Klitschko.
Founders are Mike Bloomberg,Thomas Secunda, Charles Zeger
(42:03):
and Duncan.
McMillan, and they've done itaround around 19 million.
What does concern me about the14 that are hedging their bets
is how many are involved in theHeritage Foundations and the
other organizations that wetalked about.
So now let's talk to Donnie.
Donnie is a bit of a differentcandidate.
(42:24):
I'm going to get some shit forsaying this, but I really do
feel sorry for these people whoget wrapped up in these
conspiracies so much thatthey've abandoned their families
and loved ones to pursue them.
I can't tell you how much thatsaddens me to see that happen to
people.
I hope that you can join us inreality sometime soon here, guys
(42:47):
, but you gotta set it down.
It's getting too heavy for you.
Just set that conspiracy theorydown and now back to our
regularly scheduled program.
But as Gen Xers we grew up on,like Kennedy conspiracy theories
, the moon landing, like fuck,the Bermuda Triangle.
I mean, the only part of theBermuda Triangle that's true is
(43:09):
that planes and ships went down,but the reasons are, like you
know, rogue wave.
Well, that could actually bereal, but like aliens, or you
know time vortex texts orportals black holes
yeah, or the, the kraken.
Let's go back to in the in theway back machine here, jim.
(43:30):
Let's go back to trump versushillary, where what we have?
An illuminati like cabal ofmembers of the deep state in a
pedophilic pizza party wherethey drink adrenochrome from
aborted babies I think therewere vampires in there somewhere
.
But the pieces of truth in this, because at least the Bermuda
(43:55):
Triangle had a piece of truth.
The moon landing had a piece oftruth.
They landed on the moon.
Conspiracy theories.
Well, Kennedy did get shot, butwhy and how?
Well, that's the mystery that'swrapped in the enigma.
But I would need to know thatin 2015, Virginia Giuffre's
filed a defamation lawsuitagainst Maxwell and Epstein.
(44:20):
So let me remind you again whothe pedophile was.
I don't think that was a dragqueen.
Anyways.
But the other part of truththere is this Illuminati cabal.
Well, the Illuminati itself wasactually a church organization.
What is the Heritage Foundation?
JIm (44:42):
A church organization.
A church organization.
Robin (44:44):
Dum, dum dum.
This is where we get into thebullshit folks.
He just wants to keep his assout of jail at this point, which
is really the only reason whyhe's running again.
He thinks that if he is electedhe can pardon himself and make
things all better.
Goddamn America.
(45:06):
We deserve a better class ofcriminals.
I feel like Small Hands Bugsyfrom the Looney tunes is a
fucking goddamn criminalmastermind compared to this shit
, Jesus and I do mean republicanJesus so let's wrap this bitch
up in a pretty bow and talkabout his donors.
Donnie has six top donors thatare not on Kamala's donor list
(45:29):
that we have to talk about, butthe rest of don's list and
Kamala's matches, so we're notgoing to give them quite the
same amount of time, but you doneed to understand that they're
just hedging their bets on thevoting crap wheel of dysfunction
.
So who are these top six donors, jim?
JIm (45:50):
Well, we've already mentioned, not only is he
Timothy Milton,(donating 125million) not only is he a
Heritage First Foundation member, but he's also on the board of
the America First PolicyInstitute, which is his second
largest donor at $16 million.
So again, he's hedging his betsthere.
He's on both sides of the fence.
America First is the AmericaFirst Policy Institute that's
(46:12):
headed by Linda McMahon,recently divorced from Vince
McMahon, and she is very muchgung-ho PragerU.
She loves the whole idea ofhomeschooling and churches being
involved in the schools.
Hendrix Holding they're theanomaly and literally the only
issue I can find in their other.
(46:33):
Donating is to a pro-Israelcompany that's actually the
Israeli Military Institute ofTechnology, bigelow Aerospace.
Robert Bigelow is a very uniqueindividual and all I will say
about him is he used to ownSkinwalker Ranch.
Used to own Skinwalker Ranch.
He is known to befriend peopleon the far fringes of the far
(46:56):
right, but at the same time hefirmly believes in aliens.
I'm sure they're of a specifichue when they get here.
The Perlmutter Foundation isit's nothing.
I mean, it's literally.
Again, it's pro-Israel, but notto the extreme.
As the Hendrick Holding Companyis Uniline Inc.
(47:17):
There is very little officesupply, sanitation, bulk items
like that that they don't havetheir hands in.
I guess it's actually kind ofcreepy how much they have their
hands in.
Robin (47:31):
So what does that mean for you, my little punks?
It means that Donnie isessentially a whore who goes to
the highest bidder, and theclear winner in that is the
Heritage Foundation andCorporate America, where they
want Donnie to be the CEO ofAmerica and let them do whatever
the fuck they want.
Who ends up paying that price?
We do.
(47:51):
We, the people.
We will pay for that shit.
We will lose our constitutionalfreedoms because they will have
to destroy that before they canput the one nation under
Republican Jesus.
So can I get a hell to the NO?
This is why we need you to vote.
This is why you need to give ashit.
My little younglings, it's ourchoice.
(48:13):
Remember there are more of youthan there are of them, but you
got to make a choice.
And remember, not choosing is achoice, and if you choose that
path, I'm going to slap somestraight up playground Gen X
wisdom on you.
"You cannot bitch aboutanything, about any side,
(48:37):
because you didn't have theballs to choose a side.
So please remember, we all haveto choose and, my younglings, I
know this sounds daunting andkind of ew, but we need to get
more involved in this.
Democracy requires effort and Iwill be the first to admit, as a
(49:00):
Gen Xer, I hate this shit.
I once again here, I am callingit out and asking for help from
my brothers and sisters here.
This is about hope.
This is about creating OURfuture.
Their time is done.
We need to stand in our powerand push back against the hatred
(49:23):
, because, god damn, it has been50 years of this shit.
Let's change some goddamnchannels, shall we?
It's our hope that this hashelped you along your way in
making a better decision forthis election season, but please
don't forget to overanalyzeyour local senators and your
(49:45):
house members that are up forre-election as well.
If they are not voting the wayyou want them to vote, what do
you do?
You vote them out.
Go forth, vote, be sparklylittle entities that I know that
you are, and next time that wecome back, it will probably be
just before Thanksgiving.
(50:06):
I might drop the episode alittle bit earlier, but we're
going to be discussinggenerational trauma, you know,
just in time for the holidays,so you can sit there and analyze
your family and going oh dearGod, did I come from that?
Yeah, you did so.
Until next time, my littlepunks.
JIm (50:27):
Peace.
Robin (50:28):
Keep it safe, keep it real and keep it punk.
Good night.
