Speaker 1 (00:00):
And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,
white supremacist violence isn't always have been the number one
threat to otracide. But I'm also very proud that my
wife was white club bitches. Please tell me why was
I your Donkey of the day? Wow? Donkey today? For Friday,
(00:20):
June eight, team goes to the fourteen Republican lawmakers who
voted against making June team for national holiday. Where do
I even begin with this? First of all, let me
give you their names. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Mo Brooks
of Alabama, Andrew Clyde Georgia, Scott Desarles of Tennessee, Paul
Gooser of Arizona, Ronnie Jackson of Texas, Doug lamot Full
of California, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Tom mclickingtock no, Tom
(00:45):
mclyntock of California, Ralph Norman in South Carolina, Mike Rodgers
of Alabama, Matt Rosendale and Montana, Chip Roy of Texas,
and a man with two first names, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin.
That's a great name if you're gender fluid, Tom Tiffany,
I can taste all of Manny's in my mouth, right
now so much sodium. But all those individuals voted against
(01:07):
making June uh teeth a US federal holiday commemorating the
end of slavery in the United States. Now they don't
matter because the House overwhelmingly passed the bill and it
had been signed into law by President Joe Biden. Let's
go to ABC seven and wife of the report police
President Biden making it official for the first time since
there's a new federal holiday on the calendar. June teenth
(01:30):
has been known by many names, Jubilee Day, Freedom Day,
Liberation Day, Emancipation Day, and today a national holiday. Juneteenth
marks the date that the last enslaved African Americans were
granted their freedom. This is a day profound in might
(01:53):
view of profound weight and profound power, day which you
remember a moral stain, the terrible toll the slavery took
on the country and continues to check. Now why am
I giving these fourteen Republicans who voted against making June
teeth or national holiday donkey to day. It's because I
(02:16):
think it's very important to highlight these individuals because it
shows you that white supremacy, racism never take a day off.
They are always actively fighting against us. Okay, they are
so against any type of black progress that they wouldn't
even vote to give themselves extra day off. You know
how racist you have to be to not want an
extra day off. You shouldn't let your prejudices and biases
stop you from practicing self care. We all know vacation
(02:38):
days are a form of self care. So why would
you stop yourself from getting the extra vacation day, from
getting the time off you deserve. I'll tell you why.
Because these people are committed to make sure to making
sure your black ass don't get nothing. Okay, I tell
folks don't practice bad habits, and that's what these four
teen Republicans law mad because did they're not practicing bad habits.
They used to voting against black people and black issues.
They're not gonna start voting for us. And okay, I
(03:00):
bet you would vote to make National Mannaidse Day a
federal holiday though. Okay, you human jaws of helmets are
tired of sharing National Mannai's Day with single to Mayo,
aren't you. Oh that's a snapple fact. You didn't know
National Manonnaid's Day is on the fifth of May. So
when you see certain white people out celebrating on Sto
to Mayo, and they got mayonnaise on their tacos. Now
you know why, Okay, I bet you would vote to
(03:22):
make national Mannai's Day of federal holiday as long as
they're moving from May fifth, because you don't want the
Mexicans to have any joy either. But let's focus why
did the fourteen Republican law makers vote against Young Teeth.
I mean, we can all assume the real reasons, right, racism, bigotry, prejudice,
the usual, but let's humor them and listen to some
of their reasoning. This is Andy Biggs of Arizona explaining
(03:42):
why he voted against it. The Democrats have labeled it
juneteenth National Independence Day, and what it is really is
the US Emancipation Day. They could have made this a
really harmonious celebratory bill, because I think everybody would have
passed this thing out unanimously if they would have taken
(04:04):
this through committee, and they would have changed the name
to June tenth National Emancipation Date. But they've weaponized this
bill like like they weaponize everything else they want to divide,
and that's just a shame because I support the celebration
of June tenda the name. You agree with what the
bill is about the emancipation of the slaves, but since
(04:25):
you disagree with the name, you're voting against it. I
will never understand how people who don't have lips can
give so much lip service. I mean, Andy, you sat
there and said you agree with you you know, emancipation
of the slaves. You agree this moment should be commemorated,
but you don't agree with the name. If you don't
like black people, just say it. Bro Chip Royal Texas
released a statement. I have a transcript of it, and
he said, this name needlessly divided our nation on a
(04:48):
matter that shoot instead bring us together by creating a
separate Independence day based on the color of one skin. Chip.
Listen to me, America is a melting pot. It is
so many ethnicities in this country that all make this
country what it is. So the data enslaves were emancipated
should be a great day for all Americans. Okay, the
emancipates enslave should be celebrated simply because this country promises freedom, liberty,
(05:08):
and justice for all. You can't have that if you
have a group of Americans and I put Americans in
air quotes and bondage. Okay, not to mention this country
has plenty of cultural holidays and heritage celebrations. If June
Team is considered an ethnic holiday, so what. Okay, let
us the sentence of the enslaves celebrate and y'all just
enjoyed the day off. If you want to be mad
on your day off and post why June Team shouldn't
(05:30):
be a national holiday, fine, but at least enjoyed the
day off. Hell, we do it all the time white
man's holidays happened. We get the day off, we get
on social media and remind y'all. You know, in the
words of fred Frederick Douglas, what to the slave is
the fourth of July. Hey, we're not enslaved anymore unless
you're in prison. But I think we all know what that.
What Frederick Douglas said then still stands true now because
(05:52):
it's hypocritical for a nation to celebrate its independence it's freedom,
yet doesn't bestow all those same freedoms to everybody. Okay,
we know this al right, We know Fourth of July
not about us, but we still take the day off
and go to a great cookout. Okay. The real story
behind Thanksgiving as dark as hell. America love Thanksgiving parades, food,
but that's through the lenars of a colonizer asking Native
(06:14):
American their perspective. It's origins were a murder, okay, a
massacre that killed hundreds of Native Americans, and to them
Thanksgiving as just a reminder of said murder in the
systemic racism and oppression that Native Americans still go through
in this country. But guess what, they still take the
day off. Okay, if we have learned to live with
holidays we don't like in this country, So can y'all? Okay,
(06:35):
I know the problem. Though I know the problem. See
the reason these fourteen Republicans don't want the day off
because what do we do on these days off? On
these holidays? We eat? If these fourteen Republicans who voted
against June team family knew how to properly season their food,
they would want this day off. If your family put
(06:57):
raisins in their potato salad, you too would try to
limit the number of cookouts you have to attend in
a year. Please let Kathy Griffin give the fourteen Republican
lawmakers who voted against June teeth the biggest he hall.
Please give this giant Garro male, the biggest he hall.
If my family didn't wash my wash our chicken, I
(07:19):
wouldn't want the day off either to go to a cookout.
Donkey to Day is brought to you by the law
office of Michael s lammons Off. Don't be a donkey.
Dive pound to fifty on your cell and say the bull.
If you've been hurting a construction accident, that's pound two
five old from your cell and say the bull.
And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,
white supremacist violence isn't always have been the number one
threat to otracide. But I'm also very proud that my
wife was white club bitches. Please tell me why was
I your Donkey of the day? Wow? Donkey today? For Friday,
