Memorial Day Spits on Soldier's Graves Karel Cast Podcast #211 Yesterday was Memorial Day, started to honor Union soldiers who fell in the Civil War. It then became the day to celebrate and honor all soldiers fallen in wars, but if they were able to resurrect today, would they be happy with the country the USA has become? Or would look at this mess and wonder what we've become? If we're being honest we actually are spitting on the graves of those that have fallen in so many ways.

We're gonna talk about it today.Uncensored, Unfiltered, unhinged. Courel Cast
(00:22):
listen daily on your favorite streaming service. It is the cREL Cast. I
am Correll heard Monday, Wednesday andFriday, except when there's a holiday,
and then it's Tuesday and Wednesday andFriday. So very glad you are joining
me as I have my afternoon cupof Harney and Son's tea today as Vanella
(00:43):
Rubios m with my homemade creamer andchild it's delicious. So yesterday, well,
Memorial Day, a lot of youbarbecued, barbecued, barbecued, barbecued.
I've been barbecued. It's not likeelectrocuted. Well kinda a lot of
you barbecue yesterday or just you know, did some sort of holiday event.
(01:03):
It's the official kick off to onehundred days of summer. And so it's
a it's a party, you know, it's a Memorial Day. Hey,
and all I could think about yesterdaywas how the people who died, the
people that we are actually remembering,would be furious about us celebrating anything yesterday.
(01:26):
They would say, not only isthere not much to celebrate, but
we should probably be at war ifyou think about it. And let me
tell you what I mean. Now, I know you probably heard this yesterday.
Maybe it didn't. Memorial Day wasnot started in any one city by
any one person. It sort ofstarted after the Civil War, basically by
(01:49):
freed black men and some white peopleto honor the Union soldiers that had fallen
during the Civil War. Now,remember, the Civil War was unlike anything
that we've seen in our lifetime becausein the United States, every family,
the estimate is that every single familyhad a loss, uncle, nephew,
(02:15):
need you know something, you know, brothers, sisters, whatever, they
had a loss. And so ittouched everybody in both the North and the
South. And so after the warthere was a lot of healing, real
healing we talk about, you know, healing today and healing our differences and
(02:36):
whatever. This was, I meanbrother against brother literally, you know,
there could be a family where onebrother was for the Union, the other
was for the Confederacy, and theyliterally fought against each other, and I'm
not making that up. So thiswas a big deal. This was a
big to do, and we neededto try to put the pieces Lincoln and
(03:01):
others, you know, because hedidn't last very long he got assassinated,
tried to put the pieces back together, okay. And one of the ways
they wanted to do this was tolay wreaths and flowers on the graves of
Union soldiers in the beginning, particularlyblack Union soldiers who had died during this
(03:23):
fight. Now, let's examine,as we talked about yesterday, Memorial Day.
What were they fighting? What wasthe Union fighting the South? And
why were they fighting the South?You know, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas.
Why were they fighting Well, becausethey didn't feel that the South should
(03:45):
have an unfair advantage when it cameto trade because of the use of slave
labor. It was economics. Itwasn't about human rights at first. It
was about economics. In fact,Lincoln himself tried to make eels to get
the Blacks of their own country onceit was over, or to just get
them out of the You know,he was not the big African American lover
(04:08):
there one thinks he was, buthe was on the right side of history
when it came to the Civil War. Now, remember the Union jack the
Confederate flag, which you can currentlybuy in targets in the South on children's
clothes, but not gay pride apparel. Now, the Confederate flag never made
it to the Capitol. The Unionwon the war, okay, and they
(04:31):
beat down the South. The South, which was content and happy to keep
people as property, to beat themand to do whatever they wanted to do
with them at will. The South, which after the Civil War kept archaic
laws in place so they could stilldominate African Americans right up until the early
(04:56):
sixties when they finally stopped doing lynchingchurches in the South. They weren't doing
that in the North. Okay,they weren't having lynchings at churches in Massachusetts,
in Connecticut, No, no,no, we know where it was,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee. So Memorial Day started in eighteen
sixty eight as sort of an informalhonoring of the Union soldiers, the Union
(05:23):
soldiers who fought the Confederacy. It'svery important to remember that. Well,
then in eighteen seventy three, MaryWilliams, a woman thought that we should
honor all soldiers, the Union soldiersand the Confederate soldiers, and that would
be a way to help the countryheal, to honor them all, and
(05:44):
she rallied the president, and finallythey did a national Memorial Day, and
instead of just saying they were goingto honor Union soldiers, they said they
were going to honor all soldiers fallenin battle. Okay, And that is
how we got the modern day MemorialDay. But remember it started to honor
(06:06):
the Union soldiers who defeated the Southand their tyranny and their bigotry and their
hatred. They were willing to dieto keep people enslaved. They were willing
to die to keep their economic advantageover other states because they had free labor.
(06:28):
They were willing to die to keeptheir ability to rule over somebody else
for their own economic advantage. That'swhat it was about. Oh knows about
states rights. Yes, the Stateswanted the right to have slaves so they
could make more money by having freelabor. That's what the Civil War was
(06:50):
about. It. We should bevery clear about that. In today's age,
especially cut to today, we've nowhat we're very good at warring.
We now have World War One,World War two, Korea, we have
Iraq, the first Iraq, wehave Afghanistan. We have many dead soldiers,
(07:11):
unfortunately to remember. And in WorldWar One and World War Two,
which were only separated by a fewyears. Who is the enemy? Communism,
the Reds, Russia, Rush,you know, the Ruskies, the
Chinese, the Communist they were theenemy. Think about that. Think about
(07:33):
the soldiers who died fighting communism,and what they would think about So many
Americans, all members of the GOP, who glorify, idolize, and who
say that Vladimir Putin is not abad person, think about the people who
died in World War one and two, and what they would think about an
(07:54):
American president Donald J. Trump,who was instilled by the Russians, who
was aided and abetted by the Russians, and who when in office, acted
like Vladimir Putin was his best friend. So when you add that up,
okay, the Union soldiers who died, the soldiers from World War one,
(08:20):
World War two, Korea where communismbecame the enemy, Iraq and Afghanistan where
terrorism became the enemy. And youlook at today. You look at America
today, a country where a thirdof the people in it sixty let's say
(08:43):
seventy million people idolize fascism, embraceopen fascism. Today, Rhonda Santis on
air said he would be a twoterm president and he would destroy the woke,
and he would go after anybody thatopposed them. That's fascism by definition.
(09:07):
You have a fascist regime. TheGOP that staged a coup in twenty
twenty. It's a coup when peoplecommit seditious conspiracy. What would the soldiers,
the Union soldiers think of when theConfederate flag finally made it to the
state House, not in eighteen,you know, fifty five, but in
(09:30):
twenty twenty, being proudly carried bysomeone from where the South? What would
they think? So? How dareus? How dare us set aside a
day to remember these people? Asevery day the GOP spits on their graves,
(09:54):
spits on the graves of those thatdied in the Civil War. Every
day the GLP adopts the thinking ofthe Tyrannis South. Every day. Make
(10:31):
your device a whole lot smarter.Get the Correl cast damp free at the
app store of your choice now.And if the Grell calf I am Correll
(10:58):
and I think instead of topics hereright, like I was going to,
you know, like I always do, I want to talk more about the
fact that Memorial Day and the GOPthey are spitting on the graves of those
that they say that they you know, they're all about old patriotism, waving
flags. And if you told themthat they hated veterans, if you told
(11:18):
MAGA that most veterans would hate them, they wouldn't. Oh, they'd be
angry, they wouldn't get it,they wouldn't understand. But the truth is,
if you are a true veteran ofany war, you would hate the
GOP and everything that they stand for. You would hate these people who are
(11:43):
getting books burned and banned. Youwould have banning books in a country that
fought communism, that fought fascism,that fought to end slavery, and then
making slaves out of women. Whatis it when you control another person's body?
(12:05):
What do you call that? Doyou not call that slavery? When
a person has no choice as towhat medical procedures they can have without consulting
the state, is that not tyrannyand fascism? You know, I don't
(12:26):
want to be a ranter and Raverevery show. But let's take off the
blinders here. People. The GOPis a fascist regime that wants total control
of America and of every single American. And be careful. If you're not
like them, be careful, ifyou're not a white, cisgendered male,
(12:48):
just be careful because they don't wantyou. They want to rule you.
And they don't love veterans. Theyalways cut from veterans programs. You know,
they don't love Americans. They reallytruly do not love Americans. How
can you say you love a country. So yesterday I'm walking Amber at night,
(13:11):
you know, seven o'clock. We'regoing to the park across the street,
which I go to now, andI don't like it, but there's
nothing I can do. I wanta two mile walk. It's no more
safer here at my complex anymore,thanks to inadequate security. Mitch Brown,
HIA president refusing to do anything.And so I was walking and I saw
a couple that I've seen for fiveyears, A large white gentleman he's very
(13:35):
tall, and his very small Asianwife. It's quite a juxtaposition. There's
literally it's like and you know,I said to them, because they said,
oh, we haven't seen you fora while, for like a year.
I said, yeah, I stoppedcoming over And they said why,
and I said, because out ofthe ten picnic enclosures that are here,
(13:58):
eight of them are lived in andnot you know, in a neat fashion,
but in a filthy fashion. It'sfilth. And I said, you
know, I gotta take a littledrink of tea from my throat. There
we go. I said, youknow, why don't we solve this problem?
(14:20):
You know, I'm gonna cough.I'm sorry, but I am.
The wind is blowing outside, Myallergies are acting up. Why don't we
solve this problem? You know,here in Vegas they're going to approve a
half a billion dollars to give itto a billionaire, okay, a billionaire
(14:41):
to build a stadium for baseball.Every part of that sentence is ridiculous,
every part of that sentence, andit goes back to Memorial Day. Is
that what soldiers died for so theircountry can have homeless people? Because I
asked us couple, I said,is there any city in America where we
(15:05):
don't see this? Now? Anycity? And they're like, well no,
And I thought, how do wenot solve the problem. How do
we not demand that they spend nomoney on anything else? And then I
(15:26):
said, because A there's no moneyin it, and B because it's hard,
because we stopped wanting to be thenation that did hard things a long
time ago. Let's go back tothe Memorial Day. It's hard to remember
that the South was bad, thatthe people in it were bad people,
(15:48):
and that those people haven't died,their descendants are alive. They still want
to fly a flag of a conqueredpeople. We are the only country that
has gone to war and still letspeople fly the losing flag. The only
country fly a Nazi flag in Germany. Go ahead, see what happens to
(16:14):
you. Can you imagine what thesoldiers that we claim to love and to
honor on Memorial Day would think thatso many of their ranks, people who
served, are living in the parkacross the street from you and from me.
(16:37):
Can you imagine what they would thinkof if they could rise from the
grave and see the America of today, where kids are wiped out by weapons
more powerful than anything they had inwar. Can you imagine what they would
think? They would not be happy. You know, it is not as
(17:03):
we stand here in America. Weare going back and back and back,
and we're going back because we willnot push back on the GOP and MAGA.
We will not tell them to sitdown and shut the f up.
We won't do it. I don'tknow why we want for that. I
don't know why we don't solve homelessness. We act like we can't. We
(17:27):
created the problem. Man created poverty, and only man can destroy it.
Why don't we solve it? Well, there's not the money. There's plenty
of money to solve homelessness. Ifwe can give all told sixty seventy billion
(17:48):
to Ukraine, then there's plenty ofmoney to solve the problems in our country.
Can you imagine soldiers rising up thatdied in World War One and World
War Two? Who see soldiers thatserved in Vietnam and Iraq and desert storm
homeless, begging for money, beggingfor medicine at the VA. Can you
(18:12):
imagine these soldiers that we claim tolove and honor going to a VA hospital
and seeing how archaic and horrifying theyare, while rich people go to hospitals
that are state of the art.People who didn't serve anybody except the God
of money. Can you imagine howthey would feel about their sacrifice, about
(18:37):
their death. Can you imagine peoplewho served in Vietnam and what they would
say about Afghanistan, which lasted nineteenyears and was unwinnable from the very incursion.
Can you imagine what Union soldiers wouldsay as they see more blacks being
(19:00):
shot in the streets at the handof white cops, As they see more
black children in foster care, asthey see more black people making half or
one quarter what their white counterparts get, and as the white GOP now pushes
back against them. Can you imaginewhat Union soldiers would think about the South
(19:26):
and its power, how it controlsthe House and the Senate, the states
that are horrible. If you're notvisiting really correll dot com daily, you're
(19:59):
missing out. Get the podcast videosand the blug including recipes at really correll
dot com. That's really ka rel dot com. You know, I
(20:23):
didn't plan on having this be thewhole show today, but I really think,
you know, as we have athree day holiday to celebrate yesterday,
that we need to think really hardabout how we are our soldiers. Now.
I've always said I have no morerespect for a soldier than I do
for a doctor or a lawyer.I don't they all choose the way that
(20:47):
they are going to serve, youknow, I don't. It's not like
I think that when you wear auniform you are in some way, you
know, deified. You're not.You're someone who chose to serve their country
by being in their countries military.You and I can serve our nation in
many, many, many ways.But I do believe that we should treat
(21:08):
them as well as any other corporationtreats their employees. I think soldiers that
serve, fight and die, andtheir families should be treated as good as
an Apple or a Google employee.I think that soldiers who and anyone that
commits their life to community service,which is what being a soldier is,
(21:30):
should have access to the best healthcare. But then again, I feel that
everybody should have access to the besthealthcare. You know, no one should
be denied healthcare in this country atall, and that includes the homeless,
you know. And as we talkabout the dead soldiers that we're honoring on
(21:51):
Memorial Day and how many soldiers arenow homeless, we have to look at
that and say we've let them down. Every homeless person is someone we have
let down because when you're broken iswhen you need the most help, and
(22:14):
in America, when you're broken iswhen you get the least help. As
the debt ceiling deal has new workrequirements for people on foodstands, we'll feed
you, but jump through another hoop. Everything we do is tied to a
condition. And now we have peoplefrom the seditious South making those decisions.
(22:41):
Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Bobert, Taylor, Greene Howley. These are
all people from horrific states who sincethe inception of the United States, have
done nothing but say how they don'twant to be apart. Memorial Day was
about the Union triumphing over the evilnessthat was the South and the Confederacy.
(23:07):
And now we're supposed to just acknowledgethose people like they're okay. These maga
idiots with their Confederate flags on theirshirts, on their clothing, on their
trucks. Those people should be arrested. You want to idolize the enemy,
and that's the point. Lincoln andothers after the Civil War didn't want to
(23:30):
paint the South as our enemy.They wanted reconciliation. The problem is and
always been. The people on theother side don't want to reconcile. You
know, MAGA doesn't want to livewith woke people. They don't want to
say live and let live. Ijust won't patronize those companies whatever they want
(23:53):
to do away. Lizzo was ata festival in San Francisco and on stage
she said, you know, theywant to choke me. They want to
harm me, because there were signsthat say choke the woke right outside the
festival. She didn't understand. It'slike, why do they want to do
(24:15):
this because they're the enemy. I'mtired of acting like they're not. They're
the enemy. The Red States arethe enemy. They're the enemy of progress.
They're the enemy of liberalism, whichis something we should all want liberal
(24:37):
to me. I'm sorry, I'msweating, but I can't go run and
grab the air conditioner thermostat, andmy power company takes it over in the
afternoon and sets it to seventy eightor eighty while power is in demand.
And I'm doing the show late becauseI've spent fourteen hours total just trying to
get the show going because I needa new computer and I don't have the
(24:57):
money to buy one. I've beentrying to make do. But anyway as
you all do, you make toAnyone that doesn't want to address climate change
is the enemy of the people.Anyone that and I don't want you know
there are different ways. No,no, no, no, no.
Other's not. Anybody that doesn't believein freedom for women to make their own
(25:21):
choices. Anyone that doesn't believe thatLGBTQ people have the right to exist equally
in all sections of society, nothide is an enemy of the people.
Anyone that thinks drag queens are badis an enemy of the people. And
I mean that they're performers, they'reartists. If you are against art and
(25:47):
performance being done in a free manner, you're an enemy of the Constitution of
the United States, just like youalways were, just like your grandfather was
and your great grandfather was. Let'sstop pretending the people of the South want
to belong with you, with me. They don't. They want to conquer
(26:11):
you and I. They want toeliminate you and I. They want to
rule. Rohn de Santus has madeit clear he wants to choke the woke.
That includes corporations. They want tohinder business if business is done in
a way that they don't approve.They want open fascism like they always did.
(26:38):
What are we gonna do about that? Have another barbecue? Really?
What good is a day like MemorialDay? If we don't ask the hard
questions? Would the soldiers like theworld they die for? Would those who
died and I'd love to hear fromyou in the comments down below or comments
(26:59):
that really correlled dot com Wood soldiersthat fought and died for this country?
Would they like the country that theythat is here? Would they like it?
Would they think that they died forsomething? If they came back today,
(27:21):
you know, right here, rightat the end of May, right
before June. If all the soldiersfrom the Union, from World War One,
from World War Two, Korea,Iraq, desert storm, if they
all could rise up from their graves, would they be happy with what we've
done with their country or what we'velet happen. You know, if mag
(27:48):
is winning, it's because we're not. We're not being forceful enough, We're
not getting the message across and ifthere's a group of people that don't want
the message, then we're not makingtough decisions. Just like homelessness, Like
maybe we should split the country up. Maybe Lincoln and others were wrong and
(28:08):
reconciliation isn't the best course of actionfor this group of states. Because I
don't know about you, but I'mtired of fighting for common sense, for
decency, equality, to save theplanet, aren't you? I am Correll?

could make more money by having freelabor. That's what the Civil War was
(06:50):
about. It. We should bevery clear about that. In today's age,
especially cut to today, we've nowhat we're very good at warring.
We now have World War One,World War two, Korea, we have
Iraq, the first Iraq, wehave Afghanistan. We have many dead soldiers,
(07:11):
unfortunately to remember. And in WorldWar One and World War Two,
which were only separated by a fewyears. Who is the enemy? Communism,
the Reds, Russia, Rush,you know, the Ruskies, the
Chinese, the Communist they were theenemy. Think about that. Think about
(07:33):
the soldiers who died fighting communism,and what they would think about So many
Americans, all members of the GOP, who glorify, idolize, and who
say that Vladimir Putin is not abad person, think about the people who
died in World War one and two, and what they would think about an
(07:54):
American president Donald J. Trump,who was instilled by the Russians, who
was aided and abetted by the Russians, and who when in office, acted
like Vladimir Putin was his best friend. So when you add that up,
okay, the Union soldiers who died, the soldiers from World War one,
(08:20):
World War two, Korea where communismbecame the enemy, Iraq and Afghanistan where
terrorism became the enemy. And youlook at today. You look at America
today, a country where a thirdof the people in it sixty let's say
(08:43):
seventy million people idolize fascism, embraceopen fascism. Today, Rhonda Santis on
air said he would be a twoterm president and he would destroy the woke,
and he would go after anybody thatopposed them. That's fascism by definition.
(09:07):
You have a fascist regime. TheGOP that staged a coup in twenty
twenty. It's a coup when peoplecommit seditious conspiracy. What would the soldiers,
the Union soldiers think of when theConfederate flag finally made it to the
state House, not in eighteen,you know, fifty five, but in
(09:30):
twenty twenty, being proudly carried bysomeone from where the South? What would
they think? So? How dareus? How dare us set aside a
day to remember these people? Asevery day the GOP spits on their graves,
(09:54):
spits on the graves of those thatdied in the Civil War. Every
day the GLP adopts the thinking ofthe Tyrannis South. Every day. Make
(10:31):
your device a whole lot smarter.Get the Correl cast damp free at the
app store of your choice now.And if the Grell calf I am Correll
(10:58):
and I think instead of topics hereright, like I was going to,
you know, like I always do, I want to talk more about the
fact that Memorial Day and the GOPthey are spitting on the graves of those
that they say that they you know, they're all about old patriotism, waving
flags. And if you told themthat they hated veterans, if you told
(11:18):
MAGA that most veterans would hate them, they wouldn't. Oh, they'd be
angry, they wouldn't get it,they wouldn't understand. But the truth is,
if you are a true veteran ofany war, you would hate the
GOP and everything that they stand for. You would hate these people who are
(11:43):
getting books burned and banned. Youwould have banning books in a country that
fought communism, that fought fascism,that fought to end slavery, and then
making slaves out of women. Whatis it when you control another person's body?
(12:05):
What do you call that? Doyou not call that slavery? When
a person has no choice as towhat medical procedures they can have without consulting
the state, is that not tyrannyand fascism? You know, I don't
(12:26):
want to be a ranter and Raverevery show. But let's take off the
blinders here. People. The GOPis a fascist regime that wants total control
of America and of every single American. And be careful. If you're not
like them, be careful, ifyou're not a white, cisgendered male,
(12:48):
just be careful because they don't wantyou. They want to rule you.
And they don't love veterans. Theyalways cut from veterans programs. You know,
they don't love Americans. They reallytruly do not love Americans. How
can you say you love a country. So yesterday I'm walking Amber at night,
(13:11):
you know, seven o'clock. We'regoing to the park across the street,
which I go to now, andI don't like it, but there's
nothing I can do. I wanta two mile walk. It's no more
safer here at my complex anymore,thanks to inadequate security. Mitch Brown,
HIA president refusing to do anything.And so I was walking and I saw
a couple that I've seen for fiveyears, A large white gentleman he's very
(13:35):
tall, and his very small Asianwife. It's quite a juxtaposition. There's
literally it's like and you know,I said to them, because they said,
oh, we haven't seen you fora while, for like a year.
I said, yeah, I stoppedcoming over And they said why,
and I said, because out ofthe ten picnic enclosures that are here,
(13:58):
eight of them are lived in andnot you know, in a neat fashion,
but in a filthy fashion. It'sfilth. And I said, you
know, I gotta take a littledrink of tea from my throat. There
we go. I said, youknow, why don't we solve this problem?
(14:20):
You know, I'm gonna cough.I'm sorry, but I am.
The wind is blowing outside, Myallergies are acting up. Why don't we
solve this problem? You know,here in Vegas they're going to approve a
half a billion dollars to give itto a billionaire, okay, a billionaire
(14:41):
to build a stadium for baseball.Every part of that sentence is ridiculous,
every part of that sentence, andit goes back to Memorial Day. Is
that what soldiers died for so theircountry can have homeless people? Because I
asked us couple, I said,is there any city in America where we
(15:05):
don't see this? Now? Anycity? And they're like, well no,
And I thought, how do wenot solve the problem. How do
we not demand that they spend nomoney on anything else? And then I
(15:26):
said, because A there's no moneyin it, and B because it's hard,
because we stopped wanting to be thenation that did hard things a long
time ago. Let's go back tothe Memorial Day. It's hard to remember
that the South was bad, thatthe people in it were bad people,
(15:48):
and that those people haven't died,their descendants are alive. They still want
to fly a flag of a conqueredpeople. We are the only country that
has gone to war and still letspeople fly the losing flag. The only
country fly a Nazi flag in Germany. Go ahead, see what happens to
(16:14):
you. Can you imagine what thesoldiers that we claim to love and to
honor on Memorial Day would think thatso many of their ranks, people who
served, are living in the parkacross the street from you and from me.
(16:37):
Can you imagine what they would thinkof if they could rise from the
grave and see the America of today, where kids are wiped out by weapons
more powerful than anything they had inwar. Can you imagine what they would
think? They would not be happy. You know, it is not as
(17:03):
we stand here in America. Weare going back and back and back,
and we're going back because we willnot push back on the GOP and MAGA.
We will not tell them to sitdown and shut the f up.
We won't do it. I don'tknow why we want for that. I
don't know why we don't solve homelessness. We act like we can't. We
(17:27):
created the problem. Man created poverty, and only man can destroy it.
Why don't we solve it? Well, there's not the money. There's plenty
of money to solve homelessness. Ifwe can give all told sixty seventy billion
(17:48):
to Ukraine, then there's plenty ofmoney to solve the problems in our country.
Can you imagine soldiers rising up thatdied in World War One and World
War Two? Who see soldiers thatserved in Vietnam and Iraq and desert storm
homeless, begging for money, beggingfor medicine at the VA. Can you
(18:12):
imagine these soldiers that we claim tolove and honor going to a VA hospital
and seeing how archaic and horrifying theyare, while rich people go to hospitals
that are state of the art.People who didn't serve anybody except the God
of money. Can you imagine howthey would feel about their sacrifice, about
(18:37):
their death. Can you imagine peoplewho served in Vietnam and what they would
say about Afghanistan, which lasted nineteenyears and was unwinnable from the very incursion.
Can you imagine what Union soldiers wouldsay as they see more blacks being
(19:00):
shot in the streets at the handof white cops, As they see more
black children in foster care, asthey see more black people making half or
one quarter what their white counterparts get, and as the white GOP now pushes
back against them. Can you imaginewhat Union soldiers would think about the South
(19:26):
and its power, how it controlsthe House and the Senate, the states
that are horrible. If you're notvisiting really correll dot com daily, you're
(19:59):
missing out. Get the podcast videosand the blug including recipes at really correll
dot com. That's really ka rel dot com. You know, I
(20:23):
didn't plan on having this be thewhole show today, but I really think,
you know, as we have athree day holiday to celebrate yesterday,
that we need to think really hardabout how we are our soldiers. Now.
I've always said I have no morerespect for a soldier than I do
for a doctor or a lawyer.I don't they all choose the way that
(20:47):
they are going to serve, youknow, I don't. It's not like
I think that when you wear auniform you are in some way, you
know, deified. You're not.You're someone who chose to serve their country
by being in their countries military.You and I can serve our nation in
many, many, many ways.But I do believe that we should treat
(21:08):
them as well as any other corporationtreats their employees. I think soldiers that
serve, fight and die, andtheir families should be treated as good as
an Apple or a Google employee.I think that soldiers who and anyone that
commits their life to community service,which is what being a soldier is,
(21:30):
should have access to the best healthcare. But then again, I feel that
everybody should have access to the besthealthcare. You know, no one should
be denied healthcare in this country atall, and that includes the homeless,
you know. And as we talkabout the dead soldiers that we're honoring on
(21:51):
Memorial Day and how many soldiers arenow homeless, we have to look at
that and say we've let them down. Every homeless person is someone we have
let down because when you're broken iswhen you need the most help, and
(22:14):
in America, when you're broken iswhen you get the least help. As
the debt ceiling deal has new workrequirements for people on foodstands, we'll feed
you, but jump through another hoop. Everything we do is tied to a
condition. And now we have peoplefrom the seditious South making those decisions.
(22:41):
Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Bobert, Taylor, Greene Howley. These are
all people from horrific states who sincethe inception of the United States, have
done nothing but say how they don'twant to be apart. Memorial Day was
about the Union triumphing over the evilnessthat was the South and the Confederacy.
(23:07):
And now we're supposed to just acknowledgethose people like they're okay. These maga
idiots with their Confederate flags on theirshirts, on their clothing, on their
trucks. Those people should be arrested. You want to idolize the enemy,
and that's the point. Lincoln andothers after the Civil War didn't want to
(23:30):
paint the South as our enemy.They wanted reconciliation. The problem is and
always been. The people on theother side don't want to reconcile. You
know, MAGA doesn't want to livewith woke people. They don't want to
say live and let live. Ijust won't patronize those companies whatever they want
(23:53):
to do away. Lizzo was ata festival in San Francisco and on stage
she said, you know, theywant to choke me. They want to
harm me, because there were signsthat say choke the woke right outside the
festival. She didn't understand. It'slike, why do they want to do
(24:15):
this because they're the enemy. I'mtired of acting like they're not. They're
the enemy. The Red States arethe enemy. They're the enemy of progress.
They're the enemy of liberalism, whichis something we should all want liberal
(24:37):
to me. I'm sorry, I'msweating, but I can't go run and
grab the air conditioner thermostat, andmy power company takes it over in the
afternoon and sets it to seventy eightor eighty while power is in demand.
And I'm doing the show late becauseI've spent fourteen hours total just trying to
get the show going because I needa new computer and I don't have the
(24:57):
money to buy one. I've beentrying to make do. But anyway as
you all do, you make toAnyone that doesn't want to address climate change
is the enemy of the people.Anyone that and I don't want you know
there are different ways. No,no, no, no, no.
Other's not. Anybody that doesn't believein freedom for women to make their own
(25:21):
choices. Anyone that doesn't believe thatLGBTQ people have the right to exist equally
in all sections of society, nothide is an enemy of the people.
Anyone that thinks drag queens are badis an enemy of the people. And
I mean that they're performers, they'reartists. If you are against art and
(25:47):
performance being done in a free manner, you're an enemy of the Constitution of
the United States, just like youalways were, just like your grandfather was
and your great grandfather was. Let'sstop pretending the people of the South want
to belong with you, with me. They don't. They want to conquer
(26:11):
you and I. They want toeliminate you and I. They want to
rule. Rohn de Santus has madeit clear he wants to choke the woke.
That includes corporations. They want tohinder business if business is done in
a way that they don't approve.They want open fascism like they always did.
(26:38):
What are we gonna do about that? Have another barbecue? Really?
What good is a day like MemorialDay? If we don't ask the hard
questions? Would the soldiers like theworld they die for? Would those who
died and I'd love to hear fromyou in the comments down below or comments
(26:59):
that really correlled dot com Wood soldiersthat fought and died for this country?
Would they like the country that theythat is here? Would they like it?
Would they think that they died forsomething? If they came back today,
(27:21):
you know, right here, rightat the end of May, right
before June. If all the soldiersfrom the Union, from World War One,
from World War Two, Korea,Iraq, desert storm, if they
all could rise up from their graves, would they be happy with what we've
done with their country or what we'velet happen. You know, if mag
(27:48):
is winning, it's because we're not. We're not being forceful enough, We're
not getting the message across and ifthere's a group of people that don't want
the message, then we're not makingtough decisions. Just like homelessness, Like
maybe we should split the country up. Maybe Lincoln and others were wrong and
(28:08):
reconciliation isn't the best course of actionfor this group of states. Because I
don't know about you, but I'mtired of fighting for common sense, for
decency, equality, to save theplanet, aren't you? I am Correll?
