Let's talk about our democracy for a minute, but let's do it in a way that makes the snowflake's heads explode. Let me be clear before this podcast begins, we are loud, loud, proud, proud, and do not give a fuck. This is the Tony Michaels podcast, Real and raw political and social commentary. The freedom to oppress the rights of other people is not liberty.
You shit eating. Moron. Ah, the smell of freedom of speech. This is the Tony Michaels podcast and this is Tony Michaels. Hey Tony. Fuck him.
Jesus. Just fucking crisis. Only Tuesday you got like mountains of news to talk about insanity. Ron DeSantis dresses up like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Cheerleader. We have Hersha Walker and unsurprisingly paying for abortions, and Christian Walker turning on him, which is also not surprising. And grandpa poopy pants apparently tried to get his lawyer to lie and his lawyer wouldn't do it.
There's just so much news. One of the most significant things right now happening right now currently as we speak, is Justice Katan Brown Jackson, who is highly qualified and earned her spot on our court, is doing exactly what we the people voted for. Exactly. Using her brilliance, her intelligence, her knowledge of the law, her, her knowledge of history, to absolutely slam dunk these right wing talking points, a voting rights into the fucking trash.
I think a lot of people will miss this today, unfortunately, because of shit boxes like Rhon, DeSantis, Herschel Walker, and Donald Trump. But here's the thing, is that not, not here, we can talk about these sorts of things here on the Donny Michaels podcast. We can discuss why it is so important that we engage in our democracy so that people who have earned their spot on our court and they, you know, did she earned her spot on all the courts she's been on, but specifically her career is led to this moment where she is sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States.
And in that moment, In that moment, Justice Katja Brown Jackson is delivering up her entire experience, the entirety of her education, the entirety of her career,
and what should be hundreds of arguments, thousands of arguments is the hope that Justice Brown Jackson will sit for this morning. She shows her brilliance and shows why she's qualified to ask questions as a Supreme Court justice. It's not, I mean, she's brilliant, absolutely fucking brilliant, highly educated, has a lot of experience on a bench as a judge.
But her experience in life for these solicitors from Alabama to tell her what it's like to be a black woman, I just don't think, I just don't think that many folks will get it besides her having that experience. And that's the most important part about the court. They are making decisions that are going to shape.
Not just your democracy, but your children's, your grandchildren's, our future leaders of this country. They're go, they're going to shape our democracy. And I know so many pro-democracy people come here every day to hear the cathartic yelling and to, and to get their little dose of democratic politicization, because that's what we do here.
I do not give a fuck
but to listen to Judge Brown Jackson, give her argument on the 14th amendment today and say, No, the 14th Amendment wasn't written as if racism didn't exist. You fucking bone heads now. That's my way of putting it. But the absolute brilliance of Justice Jackson, Justice Brown Jackson
presenting her argument for why the 14th Amendment, It's not a good argument to take away rights, especially voting rights. The entire intention was to give Freedman who were, who were freed slaves. The rights that were granted to other free man, white property owners in this country,
and she sees it all through the eyes and the experience of a black woman. What a novel idea. This should not have taken this long to get to this point, and we still have a lot of work to do. This is not the end. This is just the beginning folks. This is the beginning of what our democracy's court should be.
We are a long way away from that because we know that the 2016 election dumped huge consequences on our country and our democracy's future because people would not engage, would not be disciplined in their democracy.
But we had a little more disciplined in 2020. We understood the stakes, and I think we understand the stakes in this midterm because this election that we have now in front of us on November 8th, Is the most important election of our democracies lifetime. And as soon as it's over, as soon as it's over, the votes are counted.
They're certified, and that new government is formed all around the country. The next one will be the most important because these people are not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop if you, if you think they're gonna stop. Just look at this Herschel Walker story. I'm gonna talk a lot about the Herschel Walkers story today, but I do not want this story
to overshadow what made Kathi Brown Jackson's judgeship possible. Our democracy made that possible. She earned the spot with her experience and her education and her career on the bench, but without us engaging in making the right decisions, being coherent, not playing to the dumpster, fire, and politicizing things to win elections.
That's a thing you gotta do in democracy. If you wanna set policy is win elections. That's what you have to do. It's a thing. Oh, well Tony, you can't fight fire with fire to fuck You can't. You wanna win? Or do you wanna just say, Well we, we gave it a good try. We gave it a good try, and we didn't. We didn't get down in the mud with them
I mean, we lost and we're definitely gonna lose rights over it. And these fascists are gonna take over and strip us from our vote and our democracy, cuz that's what they're doing on the Supreme Court. Are you listening to me this morning? They're making arguments to take away rights to vote. That's the argument.
That's the fucking argument before the court to take away rights to vote.
It's a serious issue.
And the reality is that you have your voice heard
or heard because you wouldn't speak. That's right. Either way, you do this, it doesn't matter. Rather you engage or don't engage. That voice is heard. This democracy will hear your voice rather you yell and scream or you stay silent. And in 2020, this country understood the stakes that we can't stay silent.
We can't let these, this fucking buffoonery go on. I do not believe that 81 million people voted for Joe Biden. Now, when I say that, people like, Oh my God. There's a, there's a hefty percentage of that 81 million that is okay with Biden. They're okay with him being president. They don't necessarily like him.
Maybe they don't like some of his policies, but they voted against Trump because they understood the stakes in our democracy. They understood what it means to be heard, rather, you stay silent. Are you yelling, scream like I do Every day in front of this microphone, you are being heard.
And so many times we forget that inside of our democracy,
silence is deafening. So don't be silent, Engage, lean into the democracy. It's what will deliver you equity and equality. And I'll, I'll, I'll tell you that it's not perfect. It's fucking difficult. It's difficult as hell. It's the hard thing to do, which is democracy. That's the difficult part of government to compromise, to come together, to figure out a way to make things work for the majority of the citizens and the people inside the country.
It's a difficult thing. It's not easy. The easy, weak thing is to hail one Messiah and make them the leader and make sure that anything they do or, and say is the correct thing and the truth, and they can do no wrong to sound familiar. That's the easy, weak thing to do,
but we're doing it. We're doing it. And the truth, the truth will be told folks, if, if this Herschel Walker Christian Walker story doesn't prove to you that eventually, eventually this damn of lies that these, that these fucking bone heads are trying to sell to America, that dam is going to break, then you're not paying attention.
Because that story about Herschel Walker and Christian Walker is on its face is absolutely fucking a circus. A circus, but this is the circus that they're gearing up to take, to have, to have the Republican party. Jesus Christ. You already have Ron DeSantis. He's, and I'd said this for days, I said this, He's going to fail at this recovery in Florida.
He's going to fail. And the reason why is because he is Ron DeSantis. I didn't need any more proof than that. They're fucking shit. Boxes and shit. Boxes do shit, box things. That is how it works. The one thing that Florida should have never done is thought that Ron DeSantis was qualified to be a governor of Florida.
The one thing, the one thing that disqualified Ron DeSantis more than anything else other than he, I'm fucking fascist and a goddamn Nazi and a thief and a crook. Oh, you God, right? He's gonna steal some of this money for sure. A hundred percent gonna steal this fucking money. Him and his wife have already got charities.
They're gonna, they're gonna do something or really gear it up. He might lose this election. They're gonna need, they're gonna need a new fucking third or fourth house. Whatever the hell they're gonna need a yacht. Whatever the hell they need, they're gonna try to get it. They're fucking, they're fucking outta their minds.
But the one thing, the one thing that should have disqualified him in any primary, no matter the party Republican party, the America first Nazi party, whatever. was that that motherfucker voted against hurricane relief for Sandy voted against it. He was gonna be the the governor of Florida. Is it not a matter of if or it's just when, when and how bad will it be?
And the motherfucker is walking around in pristine, clean, white boots acting like he's helping clean up. It looks fucking weird. Number one than he has boots on. It almost seems like someone fucking trapped this son of a bitch into this picture. They set him up. But the thing that gets me the most about the white boots is ridiculous as it looks.
I don't know, even though, who the fuck buys white rubber boots? What in the fuck? The only time I've ever seen any kind of rubber boots at all. They're fucking black or camouflage. This is fucking weird to begin with.
But they don't even have a spec of dirt on them. Not a spec of dirt. And he looks like he's doing something special and he's, Oh yeah, he's, he's rubbing elbows with the law enforcement in an area that has a few down limbs. He doesn't give a fuck about you. Not one fuck. And you say, Well, what does this have to do with the Hersha Walker story?
It has a lot to do with it. Christian Walker Goat takes the social media today, and I actually, I reached out to Christian in his dms. I said, Christian, come on the show. I'm, I'm, I'm, I don't agree with anything you say. I'm, I don't, I, I, I cannot figure out any one thing that I would probably agree with him on.
And I told him I, it would be straightforward and I would ask some really tough questions. But come on the show. I reached out to him
cuz he's freaking out on social media this morning. Talking about lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. He's on his social media supporting Ron DeSantis. Folks, give me a fuck. Get the fuck outta here with that nonsense. Anyone who's simp for Christian Walker today, because oh well, he's just, he's just telling the truth.
Moment of clarity. Get the fuck outta here. Fuck you. He's been lying. He's admitting it. Now this is a great offramp and it may be a great model for Trumpism. This might be the moment that people can go, Well maybe this is how it's done. Because I think the country is gonna take Christian and his word here and go, Well, you know, the whole tired of the lies thing that's worth excusing him on whatever.
Fine, fine by me. If it causes him to torch Hersel's campaign and make sure to put Warnock over the top, which Warnock was gonna win that race, folks, I the, the, the, the best part about, and, and the person who is fucking shitting her bridges this morning in Georgia is Kemp. It's Kemp. Because if Herschel Walker suppresses that vote by God, we're going to have a damn good governor down in Georgia.
Folks, those fucking seats matter. You just look at this fucking case that Alabama's bringing to the Supreme Court trying to take away your goddamn vote. These governorships fucking matter what's happening in Texas, where the governor of Texas is using fucking taxpayer hours like the governor in Florida as campaign fucking stunts Texas.
Paul's gonna be on this morning. He's gonna tell us about Warden Trump isn't through and through too, baby racism, bigotry, the same way, the same bullshit. And how they treat those migrants from Venezuela and Rhonda Santa shipped them to Martha's Vineyard from Texas, which doesn't make any sense, but that's just the way big it's work.
It's bigotry is not supposed to make much sense, folks, the same way Greg Abbo. And this warden did in Texas and Texas. Paul is gonna break it down for us today,
but Beto wins in Texas. Folks, that's a huge win for your liberty because Beto is willing just to, He's even, He's willing just to go and talk to you regardless if you're a Democrat or Republican. If you're a Beto supporter, a Trump supporter, that's why he is winning. That's why he is fucking winning.
These races matter. These governorships matter. Yes. We have to win the Senate. Absolutely. We have to lean into the house and win every fucking one of those seats we possibly can win. It is crucially important to our democracy, but just as important are these governors races, and we have to pile mountains of votes on top of these motherfuckers because it's not just a matter of winning at this point.
It's not just a matter of winning. We have to send the message, not just to us, not just to the Republicans, but to the entire world that, look, this Trumpism shit is not us. It is the few among us that still wanna participate in this fascist nonsense, this buffoonery, these this, this swamp of lies.
and maybe just maybe we'll give an offramp and Christian Walker the way that he's handling his father's campaign is a good model for that. Whatever. Fine. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with these people coming out saying, Okay, yeah, we are lying the whole time. It's all bullshit. We get it. And you know, it was all a fucking show.
It was all a show, and we get it Now. We'll get back to business now we'll pay attention to the things that fucking matter, instead of people's genitalia who they love, and books at book fairs. Nonsense. Just fucking absolute nonsense. When we got real shit to deal with in our democracy, I wanna take away fucking rights.
I don't think so. And that's what they're doing this morning in the Supreme Court folks. Yes. I want to talk about the Hersha Walker story. Yes. I wanna talk about the Christian Walker video and we're going to , you got, Damn right. I'm gonna frame this up. The way that needs to be framed up so you can go out there and spread the message.
You, God damn right, I'm going to, That's my whole goal and purpose every single day to sit in front of this microphone for two hours a day. I don't just sit here and yell and scream into this thing for the heck of it. Well sometimes, but there's a goal in mind. The goal in mind is for you guys to have your messaging.
And go out and pound the airwaves, knock the doors, write the, write the postcards, the letters, make the phone calls, the text messages for these campaigns. But more than anything, engage with your community. That is the most important part of all of this. And you have to lean into it. You can't just say, Well, Hersha Walker, well, he's done so we don't have to worry about George anymore.
Fuck that shit. Now's the time to really lean in. Now's the time to really lean into this. When you're watching your lies be exposed, and the liars themselves are going, I, I can't stand the lies anymore. Can't take it. Now's the time to lean in, baby, lean into that motherfucker. Let's, let's, let's get Warnock reelected and let's put Stacey Abrams as the governor of Georgia.
Let's do that. Fuck 'em.
Now is not the time to give up. Now is not the time to focus our energy somewhere else. Now is the time to lean into every single one of these motherfuckers You wanna stop out, Trumpism, it's you that's gonna do it. It's you. No one else is gonna do this. These, these ballots aren't gonna, aren't gonna mark themselves.
Your friends, your family, your community's ballots aren't gonna mark themselves. It has to be done by you with the messaging and the enthusiasm and the absolute less relentless attitude for your love of democracy, because that's what they're terrified of. And again, I'll say it again and again and again.
That's what they're trying to do in the Supreme Gore today is take away your right to engage in your democracy. So you better fucking vote before they take the right away from you. Use it or lose it. Think of it that way.
And let's elect democracy candidates who are interested in policy, advancing people's rights, not suppressing people's rights. The freedom to oppress the rights of other people is not liberty. Got it. Every day, that's the first thing this show says. The freedom to oppress the rights of other people is not liberty.
And yesterday I told you I'd have something special for you and I just didn't get to it. So let's get to it right now. Speaking of that saying, here is a new piece of merch store, not deton michaels.com. Wear it loudly and proudly. This is the message that you carry with you everywhere. You deliver this to your community, to your family, your friends, your colleagues, the people in the pta.
This is one of the only pieces of merch that probably isn't gonna say the word fuck on it. , by the way, no vulgarity even on this piece of merch, but as much as the T-shirt's important, important, and it is, it's the messes that is the most important, the freedom to oppress the rights of other people is not liberty, and that's what Justice Brown Jackson did this morning.
She showed us if we work hard in our democracy and we do the things we're supposed to do, just like she earned and did the thing she was supposed to do to earn that spot this morning, to deliver up what the actual 14th Amendment and the history behind it is to undo these conservatives ar. Basically, she was using the conservative originalist argument to undermine the conservatives originalist argument of why to take away the right to.
Brilliant. Absolutely 100% brilliant.
And I'm not saying that she knows my message are my phrase, but we don't have to all know to know that that is the case. Not everyone has to have, Oh, well, Tony Michaels said that doesn't matter.

Welcome. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for sticking around to the break. As promised, you don't fuck around here. We're gonna deliver the minus mighty favorite Texas. Paul is joining us, Texas. Paul, how are you this morning? Oh, man, I'm, I am sad brother. I am sad. I have been What, what, What's going on over there?
You know, it's looking more and more like South Texas. Hey, you know, when you, you know it, Texas is different, right? We're just different people here. We, we have this sense of pride in our state that's just like no other, I mean, it is like no weather. I mean, I get, I get family members that come down here and they're like, What the hell is with all the flags, man?
And I'm not, That's just Texas, man. We're just proud. They're like, What are you proud of being in Texan? You know? And everything I looked at today for today's preparation, just South Texas is turning into South Africa, Apartheid, South Africa. It's just. The, the last few weeks of stories I've done have just broken my heart.
I mean, they're just, I tell you, Tony, you and I gotta clean up our own backyard. We really do. I mean, I don't know what is wrong with, uh, white guys these days, but, uh, yeah, We got, we've gotta, we've gotta clean up. So I, I learned something new today. I never wanted to learn 'em in my life. You know what, uh, immigration calls, uh, this asylum seekers?
Migrants. Hmm? Tonks. The what? Tonks have you, have you heard this? Gabe? Have you heard this? Gabe Sanchez. Have you heard this before? Tonks. Tonks. T O N C, Tonk. You know what that is? Mm-hmm. Nope. No. That's the sound that's the sound of human head makes when you hit it with one of these flashlights. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Oh, that is what customs and Border patrol agents, after they graduate from the, the, uh, academy in Glen County, Georgia, and head down to South Texas, the senior agents teach them to refer to, uh, migrants as tonks. Um, And it's just that whole culture that's leading to what we're talking about today. You know, we just had a, a warden of the West Texas Detention Center down in Sierra Blanca.
You know, have you ever heard of Fort Stockton, Texas? You know, Billy the kid, That whole story. I, I know, I know the Billy the kid story, but, uh, the, the name Fort Stockton escapes me. He would, he would often cross into Mexico through Fort Stockton. He would, because, you know, most of his, his activities were in New Mexico and he would cut through to Texas to get, you know, to cross into Mexico, um, you know, through the Chihuahua desert.
And Fort Stockton was just a friendly to him, so he used it a lot. Well, Sierra Blanca is a little town just outside Fort Stockton. Mm-hmm. . And that's where the West Texan Detention Center is, is the, used to be an ICE facility. And they now this privately owned, This is a privately owned facility? Yeah.
Owned by a company called Lasal. Okay. Uh, they had a contract with ice and Ice, revoked that contract late in 2019. Um, This guy remained on as the warden of that facility. Mm-hmm. . And he is the guy that was driving down the highway, uh, last week and saw a group of immigrants, uh, jumped out of his pickup truck and there were 13 of them.
11 of 'em went and hid behind a water tower, and two of 'em hid behind a bush. Right. And according to testimony from all the witnesses, he told the immigrants in Spanish, he said, Come out here, you little bitches. Come on, you little asses in Spanish. He yells at 'em and they didn't come out. Uh, so he popped two shots into the bushes.
They were hiding. He hit the man in the head and killed him and shot a woman in the stomach. Jesus Christ. Now this is, this is the one because he's with his twin brother, right? Is that the right Mike and Mike and Mark? Yeah. We saw, we saw their, their pictures on social media and it kind of got buried underneath other stories.
Right, right. The hurricane , he got married underneath the hurricane. So, uh, Mike Shepherd is the, is the warden of the West Texas Detention Center at the time. Um, and his brother Mark, you know, yells out. Did you get him? And, uh, they hop back in their pickup truck and they just leave them for dead squirrel or something.
Jesus Christ. Yeah. They, they just leave them for dead. Didn't they tried to say, because when the investigation happened, when everybody else carried the woman, you know, the woman survived. She's in an El Paso hospital. Um, you know, everybody gave testimony. They went back and looked at camera footage to see what truck fit the description.
They were able to pick the brothers up. They said, Oh, we were out hunting grouse. And, uh, we, we, we were shooting at grouse. And I said, Really? Uh, can we see you shotgun? Okay. Why does it have buckshot in it if you were hunting grass? Oh, did I say grouse? I meant we were hunting. Halina did. We saw, we saw Velina hogs is what we saw.
Mm-hmm. . So the prosecutor, um, and I'll give him credit for this. He didn't charge him with murder. He didn't charge him with murder. He charged them, uh, with manslaughter. And the reason for that, know that, why do you give him, Yeah. Why do you give him credit? Is that, is that because you think that this is gonna stick to them more than the murder charges?
Yeah, this is, there's no way to lose this. Right. He, no matter what, if you fire into a bush and you shoot a human being, you're guilty of manslaughter because you shot a deadly weapon at a target that you couldn't identify. Mm-hmm. knowing that there's human beings in that bush. Yeah. Well, he, he's claiming he didn't know that.
But it's irrelevant in the manslaughter charge, Right. Because you didn't identify your target. Right. And you fired anyways. It doesn't matter what you thought you saw in a, in, in a manslaughter case. That's why I'm giving that, that attorney props. He's gonna take a lot of heat. A lot of people are gonna want murder charges and he's gonna take a lot of heat for it.
But he is a smart prosecutor. He is. He's going to get them on manslaughter. Right. And hopefully the judge will, will, you know, maximize the sentence, which will, which would be a normal murder conviction anyways. Um, You mean, you mean, you mean in Texas? If the, if the judge wants to sentence into the maximum amount, it would be almost the same as what a murder charge.
Um, if they first conviction for murder. Yeah. Right, right. Mm-hmm. , like if they got 'em for murder to, you know, they're not gonna usually give a maximum sentence out. Uh, although there is depraved in difference in this one. I mean, it's, it's, it's a horrible, horrific story. Right. But it gets worse, guys. I mean, it gets worse.
I mean, um, this guy back in 2018, they had a report on his prison and they had some Somalis that were held there. And, uh, they pepper sprayed these Somalis so bad that they were coughing up blood. Geez. They beat them horribly, uh, sexually assaulted them, made a habit of grabbing them by the, pardon the expression, but grabbing them by the dick and pulling them around.
Um, the warden himself took part in this. They, they, uh, there was this the same guy that shot into the bush, right? Yeah. The warden himself took part in this. He, he, uh, you know, would often oversee these abuses. Uh, and Ima imagine being in, in solitary confinement, how small that cell is, and just getting soaked with pepper sprays so bad that you can't stop coughing till you're coughing up blood.
you know, and one of these guys, I was reading the actual report, it's a long report, but it was worth the read. One of these guys, the reason he was there was, um, he, he was married to an American. They'd been living here forever. He thought he was naturalized, to be quite honest. He may still have a case, but he doesn't want, doesn't wanna come back.
Um, his parents were naturalized. He can't remember if he was 17 or 18. If he was 17, when his parents naturalized, he was naturalized. He became a citizen. If he was 18, then he is gotta go through the naturalization process himself. But he's not even gonna fight that because he does not wanna come back to America.
He does not. This guy, the warden punched because he asked for underwear and socks because they were not giving them clothes to change into mm-hmm. . I mean, they were just the same clothes forever. They were washing 'em in the toilet and shit like that. Trying to, Yeah. He said, Can I get a pair of underwear and socks?
The warden punched him in the face four times, and, uh, the, the guy said, because there was a medical staff there attending to somebody, said, You're gonna let him do this. Don't you see this? The guy, the medical officer turned around and says, I didn't see anything. I didn't see. So when he is in, in confinement, the warden came for a visit and while he was handcuffed to the ground, just started kicking the shit out of him, him in his ribs till he was coughing up blood.
And that's, that's, that's this prince that murdered these migrants. The worst part is he stayed in his job. This report went to a federal prosecutor in West Texas. The federal prosecutor took a look at it and said, Okay, some of this was done in front of ice agents. Uh, we, we, we, we need to run this up the ladder.
Mm-hmm. . And it ran up to the AG and DOJ and died. Who was the AG at the time? Jeff Sessions. Hmm. Wasn't Jeff Sessions the one that went down to the border and denigrated people coming here and seeking refuge? I seem to remember that. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yep. That's where all the abuses and everything started. The separating the kids and all that stuff.
And, you know, ice was outta control. Think about this guy. The reason his story is important was he was busted in 2013 for having a little grass. I don't mean distribution went, I mean, he had some grass, right? So they said, We're gonna deport you. Well, they couldn't, if you remember at the time in Somalia, there was a war going on, right?
That went on for like a decade. That, so they said, Well, we can't deport you. You just report to ICE every year and, and live your life going, We'll worry about you later. Well, of course, when Trump came into office, he's like, Send them all out. Get rid of all of them. So he goes to check in and, and they arrest him right there in front of his family, send him to the West Texas Detention Center where all this happened.
So anyways, they deported him. He converted to Christianity, and, uh, that's a no-no in Somalia. Um, I don't remember know if you remember Black Hawk down and all the war lords and all, everything that was going on in Somalia and Mogadishu, all of that. That, I mean, um, they deported every one of these somas back to the middle of that war zone.
Several of them were here seeking asylum because they had spoken out against these abuses in Somalia. We used them for their, their, their stories, and then we deported them under Trump. I mean, it's just, it's got me so down guys. I just, this is not my Texas, this is not my people, you know? And I just, I just, man, I'm, I, I'm, I'm raging inside.
I'm just raging inside because, you know, I grew up in south Texas. I did, and this is not, you know, man, growing up in South Texas is like growing up in la you know what I mean? It's just, we're all there. These divides aren't there until you get these fucking whackadoodles. And I'm telling you, Tony, that's why we've gotta clean up our backyard, man.
We really do. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with, with, with white people these days, man. And I'm just gonna say it, man. White guys fucking suck right now. Um, you know, I had a conversation just last Sunday with the, with a guy, Blew his mind. His name is Darrell. He's like, you said, we were having a discussion on what to do going forward and, and I was telling him, Well, we need more engagement.
We need to be together. You know, because I know I grew up in an environment where there was no, you know, difference. It didn't matter what color you were. We were all together, you know, because we, we were at each other's homes and, and you know, I mean, hell. You, they called me goo forever. You know what I mean?
that was my nickname for the longest time. You know, look at, look at Gabe Live, knows what goo means, uh, p Flaco. But
you grow up together and you don't have that hate in your heart, man. And he said, Yeah, but all white people are racist. And he said, Admit it. And I said, Well, yeah, we all are. We grow up segregated for the first part of our lives, and we grow up racist because there's the other. That's, that's, human nature is programmed into us.
We, we look at somebody who's different and we immediately, this is our tribe and that's your tribe. We're fight or flight program for it. And to claim that we're not is a lie. That's it's a lie. And the cure for that is to spend time together so that when I look at somebody, I'm not seeing the other.
That's just my brother. Mm-hmm. , you know, that's how I become my Brothers Keeper. You know, I mean, I, I say it all the time. Am I, we are the, am I my Brothers keeper party because we spend time with each other. We, we love each other, man. We're human beings. You know, I want as good for, for everybody as I do for myself, But these fucking Republican righting motherfuckers, man, you know, people like Jeff's Sessions who grew up in fucking Alabamas, segregated himself his whole goddamn life.
This, that, and that creates a policy in my fucking state that creates this culture with ICE and Border patrol and everybody. And, you know, I, I don't blame all border patrol agents because they go in when these border patrol agents go in, man, it's like I was, I was reading a report from Human Rights Watch that was talking about how broken our border patrol is.
You know, these guys are working with fucking malicious man. Racist, malicious down here. And border patrol agents are like, buddy, buddy with them. These new agents come in and they're good people. They're, they're, they wanna do the right thing, but you put them into this broken fucking culture and within five or six years you've got another fucking broken agent.
You do. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what to tell you, man. I mean, other than kicking ass and taking names, I don't know what to do about this problem, man. I really don't. I mean, to fix it, we all have to cut this shit out. But to cut the shit out, we're gonna have to put our boots on the fucking necks of these fucking Republicans with this goddamn culture, this division bullshit.
They're always trying to show. I mean, every goddamn election, look what Abbots doing down here. It's an invasion. It's an inva. Bullshit. Bullshit. You know what? You know why they're saying that? You wanna really know why they're saying that. Give it to me. Guns. Guns. It all boils down to fucking guns again, because we sell a fuck ton of guns going the other way across the goddamn border.
So they want you to focus. Remember, they're always saying, accuse your enemy. They get it from Joseph fucking gurbles. The Nazi accuse your enemy of what you're guilty of. Mm-hmm. . So they accuse them of smuggling. They accuse them of being dangerous. They accuse them of being violent. Well, we're the fucking dangerous and violent ones.
We're exporting our fucking guns. Every major clash that the Mexican government has had with cartels down there, they pick up off the dead American fucking guns. American fucking guns. These guns aren't made in Mexico, man. They're not shipped in through Mexico. They're shipped in through the Texas fucking border.
And that's the problem. Yeah, sure. There are drugs coming north, but 85% of the fucking fentanyl, their claim they're bitching about is brought in by Americans. Mm-hmm. , Cato Institute. I don't agree with a fucking conclusion that the Cato Institute comes up with because they're libertarian. They're libertarian, and I've never agreed with libertarians, but they're facts are never wrong.
They don't lie. Now what they deduce from those facts I disagree with, but they don't lie about their facts. Right. Cause what you're saying is, are like, Oh, there's this many pounds of fentanyl coming across the border, so that's why this group is failing. Like, well, that's not you're, you're twisting the fact, you're using the fact.
Well, I mean, when you, when you see tweets of, of people, uh, that literally say, this was seized, you're, you have to stop and say, Do you know what the word means? Do you know? Like, just by, by you tweeting that they seized this many pounds, hundreds of pounds of whatever the drug. You then have to stop and say, do you understand what the actual definition of CS means?
Like, you, you're not, you're, you're not completely gra like getting what you're, what you're tweeting out right now, which is they're doing their job and you're criticizing them for doing their job, but saying that they're not doing their job. So, but you see it all the time. I mean, you, you, you know, you, you just mentioned like the projection, you know, like Joseph Gobles, like you want to, you wanna blame others for the very thing you're guilty of.
And whether it's an abortion, whether it's trafficking humans, whether it's, uh, uh, deaths by gun, whatever it might be, these are all things that the Republican party is guilty of and will project onto anyone else to justify the act that they can then do, which is to buy more guns or to enforce more policies or restrict, restrict more rights or whatever it might be.
It, it's them obviously to control. Like we know that it works, and we've seen it before and we've talked about on the show, like fascism, you know, isn't new and it's not inventive and it's, it, it regurgitates the same types of things that they do again and again. So that's why it's like, oh, we know exactly what it is in a playbook they're trying to do because we've literally seen it before on multiple occasions.
Um, they, they don't reinvent the wheel here. They're still the same. Fascist regime that wants to strip away rights that you know you should be, you should be given or, or that you're born with. Right? Um, and that's Republican party. It is completely full of projection. You, it, you cannot, And that talking point there doesn't ever get old because every single day there's a new story, there's a new accusation, whatever it might be, is proving that that party is guilty of the very thing that they're, they're accusing others of being.
Absolutely. Absolutely. There. The Republican party today is useless. It's useless, it's rotten to the core. You know, Ron, you were talking about Ron DeSantis earlier. Tony, I just did a, a, a an entire show last night on Ron DeSantis. He, you know, shipped those folks up to Martha's Vineyard, spent $12 million every, he says, how many, how much water would 12 million have bought?
But then again, , he made the hypocrisy meter explode because as people are now up in New York recruiting those same Venezuelan migrants to come work in Florida to clean up this disaster area, they're offering them $15 an hour to work in the most contaminated. Fucked up environment you've ever seen.
There's dead people, dead dogs, feces, chemicals. This is a horrendous job. It's hazard pay is what they should be getting. And then they're offering them $15 a day per diem for food. 15 bucks. And they're, Yeah. So you're not gonna see any buses going from Abbott or DeSantis for a while, cuz they're gonna use 'em in Florida.
Mm-hmm. And it, the fucking hypocrisy of it, man, these people are shit stains on humanity. They just make me sick. And then of course, you know, you've al you've already talked about the story, I'm sure about, uh, they've privatized their DA disaster release fund Relief fund, and it's a fucking 5 0 1 c three charity run by DeSantis wife.
They're gonna steal money, is what they're gonna do. Yeah. Yeah. She's a, she's a, she's a goddamn TV, local TV anchor. Right. She's a local TV anchor. You know, Michelle Obama was an executive in a healthcare system. You know, this woman knew how to manage money, assets, resources, and people. Cassidy DeSantis is a fucking local television station news anchor.
What the fuck does she know about? Disaster relief. What needs to be done? Well, she knows how to steal money. She's gonna get advice from right old DeSantis. I mean, that's the fact of the matter here is that, and I think is what you're trying to drive at with this whole conversation, is that the Republican party, again, like you said, it's rotten to the court, but it is like a shit sandwich.
Eating a shit sandwich. And it is not hard. Like I said, as when the hurricane was on its way to Florida, I said, Rhon DeSantis is totally gonna fuck this up, and I don't need to know anything more than it's Rhon DeSantis, who is the governor? That's all I need to know. I don't need to know anything past that point.
Just like in Georgia, we watched this drama play out on Twitter last night and this morning of Herschel Walker and his son. Well, you didn't need to know anything more, anything more that it was Herschel Walker and Donald Trump dosim to know that this was gonna go south, just like the Dr. Oz. And you know, Dr.
Oz is probably happening this morning because him fucking torturing animals is now outta the news and Christian Walker and his dad fighting is in the news. I don't, you know what, I'm not paying a fucking bit of attention to that. Warnock's gonna kick the shit outta him. I don't give a fuck about. I didn't give a fuck about Herschel Walker.
I do care about all of these Floridians You're talking about these, the United States home of boats. Okay. I, I've got a bay boat guys. I do, I've got a nice bay boat. I can run in a foot of water, one foot, 12 inches of water, and I can drive my boat through it. I mean it, They are all over Florida. I love to salt water, fish.
They are all over Florida. Sandal Island, all the burial islands out there. They've got people out there desperate for water and food today. Why we're having this conversation right in the home of fucking boats. You're telling me nobody has put together a warehouse, a distribution system? I don't know.
Told people, Hey, bring your fucking boats and bring your ass here like we did in, in Houston. You remember in Houston when we had Harvey Boats running up and down the street picking people up, You know, they were reporting to local officials that were telling them, coordinating with them, telling them, Check this road.
Okay, we've checked that road. Check it off. You know, I mean, yeah. They were going house to house to house to try to get people out. Republicans cannot fucking do this because they're not there to govern. I shit you not, Ronda is at a fucking waffle house. A fucking waffle house doing a photo op. and we still have people stranded.
We still have, if I was governor, I could not sleep until I knew everything was running like a well-oiled machine and people were being rescued. And I mean, I'm my, you couldn't keep my ass out of a boat. I would. That's because though, that's because you actually have the low bar of decency. That's the problem here is we can't even, we can't even get the Republican party and it's leaders to reach the low bar of just plain human decency.
Mm-hmm. . And that's why I knew he was gonna fail. There was no way Ron DeSantis was gonna be able to, to make, to make it happen to where all Floridians and this, and this was done in the most proper way. He failed the moment the storm hit Fort Myers because he didn't warn those people. The governor has the ability to send out a warning, and he did not, he did not send out a warning for those people to I evacuate.
And if you've seen the video, you know that it should have been given hours in advance to get as many people out of those places as possible. And like you said, he shows up in St. Augustine with, in a pair of white boots flipping waffles where there's a few down branches. And you know, the thing is, people in Florida understand that shit because what Rhonda Santi is doing, and here's what he's doing, Texas.
He's playing a national game here. He's not playing the game for Florida. He's not, he's playing the game to run for president in 2024, and he knows that he can't piss off his, his tail waggers all around the country. He can't piss, he can piss Floridians off. You know, what's the big deal? He can't piss off the tail Waggers all around the country.
The, the Maites, the America first Nazi party, and he's playing that, That's what the problem is. Exactly. That's what the problem with the entire Republican party is. It's the culture. They, That's why you can have every Republican in Florida vote against or Marco Ru and not even show up for the vote because Democrats.
You know, guys, do you know why they did that? You know why they voted against that money? No. Didn't wanna give Democrats a win as if it was a win for Democrats, Not a win for Floridians. What do you think? There is? You, you know, political strategy, There's always political strategy. You win some, you lose some.
The Democrats got 'em there was gonna, they wanted to shut down. They wanted to make a big thing. They had a big media push ready for defunding the Biden administration, the criminal Biden administration. They're criminals. Look, you know, remember Mark, how the guy, they're prosecuting, they're saying, Oh, this poor, he loves babies and they're just prosecuting him because he's anti-abortion.
And he really beat up at 72 year old guy twice. You know what I mean? It's like shit like that just, they, they, this big push that the Bidens were criminals. They wanted to defund the government. The debt ceiling vote was coming up. So the Democrats have, they said, Fine, we had a hurricane. We need to fund fema.
All the FEMA funding is in the debt ceiling bill vote. Mm-hmm. , instead of taking the L and saying, Okay, that didn't work. They did it anyways. Mm-hmm. , they literally tried to shut down the government. That's what those no votes were for. They wanted to shut down the government in the middle. I mean, three days in, two days into.
Fucking relief. The worst disaster, right. Her Florida, Rhonda Santa Rh called Rhonda Santa called it a 500 year storm, by the way. Yeah. He called it a 500 year storm, and every Republican still played this fucking game. The game, like you said, was worth more to them than helping the people that they're supposed to be helping.
Right? I mean, you're looking constitu. You know, we, we, we've shown the clips before is like you show, you show Ron DeSantis on Tucker Carlson and he plays the game of like, I had to request, I had to request the money from Joe Biden as opposed to Joe Biden already being like, Hey, money, resources, whatever you need, we've got you because you are Americans, you are part of the United States.
There's no reason why I would cut you off from any sort of funding or help when there's people's lives and, and wellbeing at risk. And then you've also got that, uh, Stew Stewy guy, or whatever the fuck his name is, do he's, he's on there being like, I wrote a letter to Joe Biden and he had to sign that letter for us to get, And it's like, but just a few days prior, Joe Biden had already said, Hey look, this is what we're doing.
We're giving the money. Like I'm already, I'm already calling this a disaster. This is something that's already gonna get our attention. I'm at fema, I'm having conversations, I'm dealing with logistics. I'm actually running this country like a president and not picking and choosing who gets help and who doesn't get.
And the Republican party is going to vote against their constituents, right? They're gonna take the money as they want it, cuz they're gonna gr you know, Ron de san's wife. That party will take away from others that they're supposed to be representing, and then they'll blame it on something. And again, it's the projection.
They'll blame it on others and be like, Whoa. Look, I, I, I, I told them, I wrote them a very strongly worded email and a tweet and a true social post or whatever the fucking bullshit that they write and said, I, I told Joe Biden, I told Joe Biden that he had to do what I said, and he had to help my people.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden is doing it and they're, they're voting against it, but their narrative has to be we vote, well, we voted against it because there was poor in there, there was something else in there. God forbid we helped some other region that was affected by Hurricane Ian or what have you. But because it wasn't directly all the money to this person or to this group in Florida, then we have to say, Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We had to vote against it. It was for your wellbeing. You wouldn't, you know, just, just calm yourself down. I know what's best for you because I'm the governor, or I'm the representative, or I'm the senator. I mean, all of these fucking idiots are incompetent and they should not be running a state, let alone a state that every year goes through this same fucking thing, this same type of natural.
And doesn't prepare them. You have 365 days, sometimes less than that. But you know, due to science and technology, we can track this. We know the pattern in which it goes. We can say, Hey, we predict this is the pattern it's gonna go through. So we wanna make sure that we have people on the ready to repair lines.
We've got people on the ready to disperse resources, but instead they sit with their hands, like sit on their hands and say, Okay, well this storm came outta nowhere, guys. We couldn't have predicted it. It's, it's, it's frustrating. It's frustrating is what it is. Well, but it's the same thing that you were talking about earlier, Texas Paul at this, at the bo border in Texas, where it's the, it's the same bullshit.
The same bullshit where they use, they use what is reality and they use it to spend it in their little stupid way. And they, and they don't actually do the thing that is like policy and governing treating people like human beings and, and just do the thing that you need to do, which is, uh, govern. They don't do that.
And they're not, and again, that's why it's so easy to predict how much they're going to fail. Because they suck at this. They totally suck at this. And really, honestly, it's intentional. They're, they're, yeah, they're, they're sucking of go. Is completely intentional. It's to tear down your democracy, tear down your ability to want to even participate.
And once you stop participating, they have full control to do whatever the hell they want, steal whatever the hell they want. Treat people however the hell they want. And that is why we have to lean into democracy. That's why we have to pay attention. That's why I love having you here on Tuesdays because I think, I think this situation in Florida with this storm and the situation that the border can be boiled down to, You know what, you're not gonna stop people from coming across the border to seek asylum.
They want to come here. It's a legal process. And you're not gonna stop people from illegally crossing to come here for work because the fucking process to come here legally for work is so stupid. It's ridiculous because no fucking Republican will sit in a room and make sure that that process is done in a simple form so people can come here and contribute to our economy legally, when it's just much easier to just cross illegally and work.
It's the same situation. You know, a hurricane's gonna hit Florida. You know what it, you know that the damage could be great and you sit on your fucking hands and do nothing even after it's done and over with. It's the same fucking Republican way, The same thing, whether you're in Florida. Right now with the disaster are, are, you're talking about the southern border in Texas.
Same shit. You know, though, man, you, you, what you were talking about it being intentional. This is what's gonna happen in Florida. This is intentional. They are funneling all of their, their efforts through, you know, you've got the Florida Defense Fund, Well, there's, there's another half to that. It's Volunteer Florida is the other half of it.
That's where they do the actual cleanup and shit like that is through Volunteer Florida, which is tied to the Florida Defense Fund. This fucking charity, they're setting it up to intentionally fucking fail in Florida. And then they were going to, going to turn around and try to blame Biden because they know for a fact FEMA will not work with the Florida Defense Fund.
They don't work that way. FEMA does not work through layers of an onion. FEMA goes to the Red Cross. And says, What do you need? FEMA goes to the Salvation Army and says, What do you need? FEMA does not go to the Florida Defense Fund and say, Here's my checkbook. Go pay these people because they don't need to pay salaries in between here and there.
They have people on the ground there to help Catholic charities distribute clothes. That's what FEMA does and how FEMA works. They've got a volunteer army. It's called Crew. It's, it's a, it's a reserve. Uh, it's a job you can get with, with fema. It, you don't work until there's a disaster and then they call you up and you go and they pay you very well to go do cleanup or managers to go out and meet with NGOs and, and stuff like that.
They'll work with local, you know, cities and state workers. Absolutely. If state workers are like, Man, we don't have enough equipment, feed them is like equipment. Mm-hmm. , we'll rent it, We got it. Whatever you need, no problem. Whatever you need, we're there. But they will not fucking cut checks to organizations like, uh, the, the Florida Disaster Fund.
They will not put that layer in between what they're doing, and DeSantis knows this. That's why he's intentionally one, telling everybody, This is where you donate. Hmm. This is where you donate. Don't send money or food or, I mean, don't send food or, or, or water or anything like that. Send money directly to this fund.
But he knows FEMA's already there. But FEMA's not working with these people. They're not, they're not going to work with these people. Mm-hmm. , they, they, that's not how they operate. That's why when you saw in Puerto Rico, FEMA had a fuck ton of water sitting on the docks. They had made arrangements with NGOs to distribute it.
And the fucking, uh, sorry ass, I can't remember his name. Um, the president of Puerto Rico, that corrupt motherfucker wanted to put his company in there to distribute that water. And FEMA's like, it's delivered. We made arrangements. That's what we do. You wanna fuck your people. That's on you. And that's the same thing that's gonna happen.
Mm-hmm. , unless it gets to be Katrina bad. If it gets to be Katrina level bad, the federal government will federalize this response, which to me, looking at this whole cluster fuck DeSantis has set up, needs to happen immediately. We, we need to learn from Katrina and say, You cannot do this. Right. You cannot fucking do this.
You just made a TV anchor in charge of your disaster relief. You are fucking incompetent. And they need to federalize the National Guard down there, and FEMA needs to take over now instead of waiting until people are dying from fucking dysentery out on Santa Bell Island. You know, I mean, it's just, You see it, Tony, you see it, Gabe, I see it.
Anybody that's watching what's going on down in Florida, Jesus Christ, they're pulling dead kids out of the Lee Lee County juvenile facility because the fucking Republican sheriff down there would not evacuate the juvenile facility. Fucking crazy. They're pulling dead kids out of this jail right now.
But DeSantis is gonna lie about it. DeSantis is gonna lie. He lied about Covid. Mm-hmm. , he lied about. He was, he is not going to be a reliable source of information, and he's not gonna be a reliable partner to work with. He's not, Well, he's either gonna lie because he's a fucking Republican. He's either gonna lie or he is not gonna acknowledge it.
I mean, we've already seen the early developments of his strategy, which is, I'm gonna go to the opposite side of the state that had little damage and show how much good is happening right now because of our strategy in our plan. But really, he's just ignoring the west side of the state that was completely ravaged by this hurricane.
And so by not acknowledging it, right, by focusing all the effort and by flipping pancakes at a waffle house or, you know, head and water out and in, in, in St. Augustine or areas that aren't actually, uh, devastated, right? He's wearing his fucking white water boots, like whatever. I don't know what the shit he's wearing, but it's all performative.
It's all performative. Nothing he's doing is actually helping the people of Florida and the people he's given his attention to and drawing a distraction from, he's not actually helping, right? He's going around like, Oh look, some branches went down. Like, yeah. To the same extent that when it's windy here in la, Palm trees fall apart, right?
But in Florida, he's completely ignoring the part of the state that was actually hurt. That was actually having people that suffered, lost their homes, their livelihood, their family. He's ignoring those people and by not acknowledging it, he's very much taken the Trump approach, which is like, I'm not responsible, you know?
And if I don't like outta sight outta mind, and that is what Republicans do. If I don't see it and we don't talk about it, it was never really there. Right? And that is what his strategy is, Whether to lie or just flat out ignore, and just like trying to shut down the government in the middle of a natural disaster, they're gonna say, Your fault.
Right? It's your fault, right? It's your fault. Brandon did this. Mm-hmm. , Brandon did this. I didn't do it. I, I tried. Right. Like Gabe said, I sent a memo. I sent a, a memo. Right. You know. Well, and that's, and that's, and that's the story of the Republican party here, is that they don't wanna govern because they know governings hard.
And it's hard to re when you actually govern for the people, it's really hard to screw the people. It's really hard if you, if you really focus on governing for the people who elected you, and for your constituents, it's really hard to fuck 'em in the end. It's really hard to, So what you do is you just point the finger with projection at the other side while you're taking the money, taking the power, taking all the fruit for yourself.
That way your constituents get fucked and you blame it on the other side, because they're the ones, they're the ones, I mean, if this hurricane had not hit Florida, my guess is every single Republican congressman, the, the governor of Florida, the senators, Republican senators from Florida would say abolished fema, abolished fema.
They would be wanting to abolish fema. But now they love fema. They love FEMA today because they're gonna steal, they're gonna steal from it. Not only are they gonna steal, not only they gonna steal the effort and the recovery that FEMA actually is organizing, but they're gonna steal. They're gonna try to steal the fucking money It is going to happen, folks.
That's what they do. That is what they do. And Tony, I tell you, you got me right here in the fields in that when, in, in that opening, because you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. It can't just be me and you and Gabe screaming, Hey, this is going on, this, that, and the other. People have to pull their heads out of the Kardashians asses for a minute.
Stop watching all the pop pop culture bullshit and focus on what's fucking going on. Because I'm telling you folks, this is your last chance. If you fucked this up and you give Republicans power, I, if you let the Republicans even take the house, we are fucked. We as a country are fucked like you've never seen.
These people are insane. Mm-hmm. , they are insane. Fucking don't give a shit, will watch you die. Kind of people. They, they, I can't stress it hard enough. It can't just be us. You know? It cannot just be us. I got, I, I got four voters yesterday, guys. I got four voters. One of them I took my wife to Red Lobster.
And we went to lunch at Red Lobster and Mike Waitress was there and I'm like, Are you registered to vote? She's like, Yes. My mom made me promise to go register for to vote. And I did. And I said, Okay, well look, look, lemme tell you something. Let me tell you why not just, you have to vote. You have to get one of your friends to vote, because you see that guy at that table right there.
And I pointed over there, and of course I'm sitting at a dinner table. I've got my hat off. It's sitting in a chair. You know, you've got this guy who walked in with an American flag T-shirt that turned into AR fifteens, draping down. You know what I mean? Really? A guy, it sounds like you will not stop my rides.
And he had a beard, like my old beard before I shaved it off, you know? And I told her, and she happened to be African American. She was a wonderful person. Alexis, if you see this, you were a wonderful human being. I said That racist motherfucker right there. is gonna vote. Mm-hmm. , your vote is gonna cancel out his vote.
That's right. Mm-hmm. . But for us to win, you have to bring one more person with you. That's right. Right. Because that's how we get ahead. That's right. If you vote, just you, all you're doing is canceling that racist, cock suckers vote out. You have to bring somebody with you. And she was like, Wow. I, I, I never thought about it that way.
like, but that's the truth. It can't just be me voting. It can't be just the people in the chat, People in our bubble. We have to get busy, get out there, get people. You go through a drive through, recruit somebody. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . You go to dinner, recruit somebody, you go to Walmart, recruit somebody. Mm-hmm.

Because I think that's, that's what people need to understand. And I said that in the beginning that this Hersha Walker story, Yeah, it's about him and his son, but really the person that's terrified the most this morning that's shitting their snipers in Georgia is Kemp, is Governor Kemp.

Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. What an issue. I would think. I would think that if there was a United States Senator running in a forced birther away and he'd wanna force women at birth that he probably should not be paying for said abortions. It would probably be a thing that he wouldn't wanna do. I don't know.
I'm just guessing. Maybe Gabe, maybe not. I mean, I, I mean, I don't know. I would say that it, it definitely falls in line with another person from Georgia who says, uh, I, Hey, I want my own privacy to my own life. Yeah. As a woman. Right. And Marjorie Taylor Green says that mm-hmm. , but then also wants to be the one that says you don't have rights of privacy as a woman.
So when you see another Republican, another maga uh, you know, America first, uh, Christian Nationalist candidate who says, Ah, the rules don't apply to me, but they do to you. You know? Right. It's, it, it is, it is something again, that shows the hypocrisy of, you're gonna say, cuz Herschel Walker's position on abortion is there was no exception.
And it's murder. It's murder. Exactly. It's murder. It's murder. And to Herschel Walker, the value of a life, and I said it yesterday, uh, dropped. I said, The value of a life to Herschel Walker is $700. I mean, plus or minus the whatever the cost of a a, a Hallmark Getwell card is. Right. But that's what they, that's, that is their party.
Right. Of course, Republican candidates or people in, in, in, as lawmakers have gotten abortion to say they haven't would be ridiculous. Ev you know, there's a fair amount of people in life that we all probably know or don't know because they haven't told us and they wanna keep it to themselves that probably have had an abortion.
Sure. A very intimate thing that is that part of their life. Whether they choose to reveal that and say that or not, that's up to them. That is their right. It is their body and their choice. But the thing that is so frustrating, Is how much the, the Republican party wants to project their own issues onto others.
You can't do this. You can't say that you can't have this. When in reality they're the ones who are like, I can have those things and I can choose what I do with them when I want. Well, you know, because, uh, I think, I think Faye Gabe was calling us baby killers in the, um, in the chat for a while. That's not actually a baby.
Yeah, he was calling us. I think he was calling us baby. Which, um, um, You didn't kill the, do you wanna talk about Herschel Walker or, Well, what's funny, what's funny about this is the, the reason why they get stuck in these positions, right. Why Faye Gabe is always running in circles and my hersha walker is now in a position where he has to say, Oh, it's all lice.
He can't actually explain what happened. Right? Right. The reason why is because they don't really tether themselves to any kind of reality. And the reality is, is that there's abortion services out there, there's abortion services, and they are abortion services. They're not killing a human life. That's not what it's doing.
That's, you're not killing a baby. And a lot of times abortion service. Are making sure that the woman survives a dead baby. Yep. Like there's a dead baby inside of her. And the problem is, is that these people just do not tether themselves to facts. And they go out in front of microphones and they tell, or they, they say shit in front of a microphone that people are telling them, because here's the real problem with Hersha Walker, other than he's just, he's not a, he's not a smart dude.
He's just not smart. And I don't know if it's a CTE or he's just a dummy, but the guy's got some, um, mental health issues as it were. Um, so does his son Christian. They both obviously have mental health issues. Um, that's one of the problems that we have in this country, is why we're being distracted by people calling women who have to have medical abortion services, baby killers.
Mm-hmm. , or being distracted by that these people aren't getting the mental health that they need. And I'm talking about Herschel and Christian Walker. But here's the thing. Herschel Walker, the reason why, every time you hear him speak, it sounds like what in the, what the fuck is he talking about? Right?
The reason why is because someone or a group of people, his campaign has told him what he needs to say and then he tries to go out and say and repeat that thing. Right? Yeah. He doesn't actually believe any of this stuff. No, he doesn't believe it. He's not a Christian. It's all bullshit. Christian Walker has even said it's all fucking lies.
Yeah. Now it's hard to believe anything that Christian Walker actually says. Right. And here's the, And ever once some people have been symp for him. Like, Oh, leave the guy alone. He's bull shit. The dude is symp for Rhonda Santa in the same breath. Yeah. A line sec of shit. So if you're sick of the lies, then be sick of the lies.
Right. And again, I, I message Christian, um, to tell him to come on the show and hopefully he'll get back to me. I hope he will. Cuz I'll bring him on the show. And I told him it wasn't gonna be easy. Like, it's gonna be tough questions. Right. And it's gonna be straightforward. Um, but, but the simple fact that, um, this Herchel Walker thing has ballooned into what it is, is not surprising.
Um, obviously we're talking, we're talking in the span of, let's see, the news dropped yesterday. Mm-hmm. at what time? Six or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. We, we was late yesterday. It was late yesterday. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. But I mean, we're talking, you know, within 18 hours or so, this has blown up from the Daily Beast saying, Hey, so remember when we said that he had these three kids that he wasn't, uh, you know, publicly.
uh, taking, uh, taking in, you know, or like accepting, you know, he was denying them. Mm-hmm. . Well, guess what? We also found out that he had an abortion surprise, surprise. And he paid for it, and he gave her a, a Getwell card. And then, and, and this was a girlfriend, and this is while he was married and, Right, Right.
And this is just someone, he was his, his side piece as, as someone would say. Right. That, that he was, and that's how he viewed it. Did you see the fucking image of the card? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, can you imagine? Okay, so you are, you, you are paying for an abortion mm-hmm. for someone, uh, that you've had an affair with, Right?
And you go into the gas station, right? And you're gonna send this person a 700 hour check because you feel like you need to pay them 700 bucks, pay for the medical procedure that they're gonna have, um, to make sure that she's not pregnant to save face so you don't have another child that you have to disowned.
And there's, again, this is not, this can't be the only abortion that Hersha Walker is paid for. It. It can't be Oh, no, no, no, no, no. But here's the thing is you write out of check for 700. And you're like, Okay, I can just put this in the envelope. But he thought at least he had the forethought and a decency to be like, I'll get a card.
Right. Can you imagine though, picking out this particular card for this instance? Right. Like I just, I don't understand why this card is the confusing part. I understand why Hersha Walker paid for the abortion. I understand why the woman wanted to get the abortion. I understand why he wanted to hide the fact.
Mm-hmm. , because he's gotta pretend he's someone he's not. I get all, I understand all that. Yeah. Like I get all that whole thing. He, he was married, he, he had an affair. She ended up pregnant. I mean, I get the whole thing, like that story makes all the sense in the world. The thing that doesn't make sense to me is the card he picked out.
That really does not make sense to me. Now, the other thing I wanna know, and, and this goes to Democrats actually playing election. Really well. Yeah, and all the Republicans and all you margas, all you fake games in the chat, you can go fuck yourselves because this is beautiful. This is fucking beautiful.
This is exactly, exactly what Republicans always do because I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Democrats have the fucking goods on your candidates and the reason why they have the goods on your candidates because there's tr They're Trump's candidates. Yeah, you dumb motherfuckers. I don't know how many times I have to tell you this.
You are not going to win in national elections in in the future because we are fucking pissed off. We are pissed off. We're tired of your nonsense. And frankly, the majority of the country is tired of the fucking nonsense. There were so many people cheering yesterday that the truth came to light with Hersha Walker, the truth that they already knew and then they were cheering when Christian Walker was burning his campaign to the fucking ground.
I mean, he is burning Herschel Walker's campaign to the absolute ground because not only is Christian Walker saying, I can't stand anymore, I can't take the drama, I can't do this, I can't do that. He's saying all the shit that Hersha Walker saying to you people out there in Georgia is all lies. All lies.
It's all bullshit. None of it's true. He is absolutely burning down his campaign and the person who is, who is terrified of this the most is Kemp, Governor Kemp. Because it is going to affect the turnout. It's gonna affect the turnout. This is what Republicans have always done so well, Gabe, how they affect the turnout they get.
They get people so, so frustrated with a Democrat candidate or a Democrat candidate somewhere else, that they're asked to stay at home and don't understand that the rest of those races are fucking important. And that's what we've done to turn it around in the narrative and the fucking, because Herschel Walker is a shit box.
Well, it's not our fault. I, I, I don't know what tell you, I you picked him, . What am I supposed to do, Right? I mean, like, look, you guys, I'm sorry that you didn't vet this person right? I'm sorry that you propped up someone who is a, a former athlete with probably CTE and has a difficult time kind of pushing his own opinion and his own perspective and his own policies.
You've heard him talk about the dirty air from China. You've heard him talk about, uh, how he, he feels about abortion. You've heard him talk about, uh, you know, claiming to be in law enforcement. I'm literally working on a, what was that right now, to break down Herschel Walker and the, I have a section where I literally cannot go through all of the lies, and it's just a scrolling list.
School law enforcement owning a business, this, that, like all of these things that he has been either, uh, hypocrite about, has just both ways lied about for years. But look, a lot of this stuff, and the same goes for what, what happened to Trump if you, they probably could've kept living their lives making money.
No one would've actually, you know, second guessed them or said anything. But as soon as you enter that spotlight of running for office, that shit is gonna come out. People are gonna be snooping around. They're gonna be digging through your shit. They're gonna be looking up every possible to lifting up every stone, looking for any dirt that they have.
So I'm sorry that your group was unable to properly vet a character who clearly has a lot of lies and a lot of issues going on at home in business, whatever's personal life is all of those things. Now, look, I don't like Christian Walker. I'll be straight up about it. I don't like the things that he says.
I don't like the fact that he, he's an asshole. I don't like that he's an asshole. I don't like the, the way he treats people. I don't like the way that he's transphobic. I don't like the way that he is, has this own self hatred. And whether that is born out of the household that he was in, you know, through the Republican party and through his father or whatever, or feeling like he has to belong or feel like he has to be accepted.
You know, like hurt people, hurt people. Mm-hmm. . And that is what this is. Right? I I, I, I am glad that he spoke up. You know, there's a lot of me that, that, uh, I, I do feel for someone in a broken home like that, right? Uh, you know, all the things that he said, you know, with the, the way the treatment that his mother received, that he received, Like we already know Herschel Walker is an abusive person, right?
Played Russian roulette with himself, had had held a gun to Christians', mom's temple, right? Some crazy shit. Fucking insane. So when you see this come out, I'm like, good, good. Because you guys didn't do your homework. You didn't do your fucking research. Yeah. When you should have mm-hmm. and you guys propped up a candidate that pretty much is just a puppet.
And you tell him to say things like Tony said, and he says them right. He won't, he won't deviate. He might kind of in a confused way, jumble some words around you might be like, What the fuck were you talking about? Just word salad. Just word sell. You know, last night he goes on Sean Hannity and he says, Oh, did you ever pay the $700?
He goes, Well, I paid a lot of people some money. I don't know. It's like, what the fuck? I know. I, I know a lot. You know what, You know what's funny is I, I tweeted out the, to one of the clips. I was like, Does it feel like to you that, that Trump coached him on this a little bit? There was some Trump coaching somewhere.
Now whether it was like directly or, or indirectly, like they went back and looked at the, the, uh, the Access Hollywood response, the grab him by the pussy thing. And, and they were like, Well, let's just copy this. This'll work. Yeah, Yeah. Um, but the problem is, is the teria walker. So he just, he, he doesn't really, he doesn't get it.
He doesn't, he doesn't get it. I've seen, and, and, and I, I want to comment cuz this isn't the only time I've seen this comment so fake. Gabe says, Why would he hide the abortion? I've seen these comments. Not only that, but I've seen comments that literally are attacking, uh, Christian Walker for speaking out.
About this abuse and the, uh, the, the life he had growing up. Oh, the right wings. Pissed off at Christian this morning cuz they're like, What are you doing? Shut up. Stop ruining our campaign. Like they're still backing her. Like, Yeah, we want this guy base wear abortion. And everyone on the left was like, He's a baby killer.
Right? And everyone on the left is like, Look Christian, you are just a pawn. You're just this thing that they're putting up on a mantle to say, Oh look, we have someone who is black, who is gay, who doesn't associate with these, you know, the socialist, you know, agenda of the left or whatever. He supports the right, he's a Republican.
Mm-hmm. . We can't be racist, we can't be bigoted, transphobic, homophobic, whatever. We have someone on our side. We've got a a, a Tim Scott, we've got a Hershel Walker, a hers, Walker Walker West, Candace Owens, Candace Owens. We have all these people. You know, I, I, I said last night I was on a, I was on a, a space, uh, uh, Twitter spaces last night.
I said, Christian Walker is one White Lives Matter shirt away from becoming Candace Owens and Kanye West. Like that is the extent, I mean, he hasn't worn the, the clothing yet, but he said that crazy shit, which is promoting white supremacy going against his own people, against any person of color. I mean, we know that Christian Walker got a voice during the protest in the summer of 2020 and that is where the Republican party really said, Oh look, this kid doesn't look like us white people, a straight white people.
So we need to prop him. . And that is really where Christian got his voice and really where he got his kind of quote unquote brand that he developed, which was this, uh, pro conservative anti blue haired, liberal, liberal ghetto fascist, or, you know, uh, consumer or communist state of California. And that, by the way, I just wanna point out, he moved to Florida in just last week.
He had a video crying about how he missed California. So why is that? Why is that He could, he couldn't possibly miss a Marxist socialist place like California. No way. I mean, he said, you know, he's like, maybe it's a, maybe it's a transition thing or what have you, but he was very upset, very emotional about the fact that he had moved.
He's like, I just kind of up and went and I didn't really think about it. And I was like, Well, I mean, sucks to suck in the sense that you left a state that was actually providing you services that were helpful to you as opposed to Florida. And then now you living in Florida where there's natural disasters and the governor that you fucking support, he loves, he loves, he loves Ron Nazi disabled at all.
He continues, despite all of this, he continues to prop him up and say, Oh, this guy's great. So I, I'm gonna get to the shit list round up here so we can show fake Gabe. The, um, the videos he keep, he keeps questioning this story about the abortion and Christian Wong. I don't know why he said better hope this story is true.
superPAC, I don't know what superPAC is. He's super what? By this touch. Oh, we're, he's trying to, Hey, hey, hey. Fake Gabe. Hey, fake Gabe. We here at the Jon Michaels podcast are not a super. We are not part of the minus touch superPAC. We don't have anything to do with their superPAC. That's not anything we do.
We produce our podcast here and minus touch partners with us to distribute it. You fucking loser. Yeah. And you're all over. And you're all over. You're all over their page. So welcome, welcome to the Superpacs page where you can't stop talking about us. And it's wonderful. I love adding here because you, you give us so much content to, to put up on the tee and hit out.
I'm not really sure. Also the story is hoping is true. I don't know. Yeah, I know the whole, the whole idea that we're part of a superPAC, I do not have, I do not receive any salary, any money from any super PAC whatsoever. Uh, I don't receive money from George Soros as much as I would love to. Right? As much as you think that's an own, to own the Libs, I don't receive money from them.
I literally make money through content creation and also contracting work through art, art, art, baby art. They gave, I'm not sure which story you're referring to here that you better would better hope. It's true. But let's do this Gabe, let's go to the shit list. Round up the show. Fake Gabe here. The video of I, It's not a deep fake.
It's his video on his channel. Let's it's let's two videos. It's real. It's real. So let's do this. Let's surf to Tweety tweets and the trendy drones so we can watch this fucking walker household meltdown. Let's start the countdown.
The shit. Welcome back to the show. You have reached this shit list round, but we ran up all the Tweety tweets and trending drains and boy do we have a lot of stuff to get to today. A lot of Floridians that I want to get to today. But first off, we kinda start with this fucking Herschel Walker Christian Walker thing.
Now I could show all the tweets, but we would be here for an extra five hours if we had to go through between. Just wait. I'm, we'll see how far I get it. I don't know. I, I'm literally Gabe's gotta, What was that? That's what he was trying to say. Writing. As it happens, like I've got most of it written. Cause it's ongoing.
I mean it's, I wasn't expecting the videos to come out this morning, but that's an added little element to it. Like this whole thing, like this, the fucking what's crazy Laundry is out crazy. You were texting me as this was happening and I said, Wait, you gotta, and this was before Christian started tweeting, right?
I said, You gotta wait for the Her Shall Walker explanation video because that word salad is gonna be delicious. Right. And it was. It was on brand. It was perfect. It was exactly what you would expect that more on say then the states game and everyone's like, Oh, his account was hacked. And he is like, Nope.
He's sharing it on Instagram as well. Yeah, right. He's pushing it everywhere. He's came out with a video now. This is the second video that he put out this morning. Yeah. I actually think this video is more telling of Christian Walker and his dad and why this, this is an a problem in the first place, right?
Like this explains the entire issue of what the Republican Party has. Like this is the core bed issue. And frankly, I think this is the off-ramp that Trump can take here. Um, I don't like Christian Walker. He is an asshole. He will continue to be an asshole. It would take a lot for him, for me to go, You know what?
Okay, I think you've changed. It would take a lot for me to believe that. But also in the first video, cuz we're playing the second one in the first video, he literally says, he's like, If you, you know, that's fine. You don't like me, you don't like my politics. You don't like what I. He's not excusing the traumatic kind of upbringing in life that he had because of his father.
He's not blaming the politics and the, and the things that he believes in on that. He's talk like the only thing that he's talking about right now is just the relationship and his dad as a candidate. He's not blaming his beliefs and his, his ideologies on his father. Those are his own right. And he even says that, You can hate me for this.
You can hate me for that, but don't come at me for this dad shit. But this one here, he specifically goes on a rant here about lies. Let's listen and just two more things I have to address and then I'm done with this Buffoonery nut job land. This is atrocious. People on the ride are pulling up that, I did a campaign event with my dad last year.
They're saying, Well, you supported out of all last year at all this year, you look suspicious. No, no, no. You all have been calling me saying, Why aren't you on the campaign trail with your dad? Why aren't you helping him out? This looks weird. You should go help him. And I've said to you calmly, I'm not getting involved.
You don't know my family life. I did one event last year when we were told he was gonna get ahead of his past and hold himself accountable. None of that happened. Okay, So he's talking about the event that happened at Mar Lago? Yeah, I think that's what he said. Yeah. December of 2021 was the event that Christian Walker gave his speech on behalf of his dad.
Quote unquote Uncle Don, which is Donald Trump, and said, How much, you know, the radical left and Democrats wanna ruin America and this and that, and family values and these things, and blah, blah, blah. All this shit that has just progressed. Same old shit. Yy Smacky from Christian Walker, same shit. And now, now in that, because what he, who he is talking about here is, uh, Jo Jack Prostate.
Mm-hmm. , Did I get his last name right? And that's a pronounce it right. Jack Prostate. I pro sel. Pro stasis. Pro Stasis. Okay. Yeah, Jack Pro Stasis. So he is talking about the pizza, the pizza Gate guy, as Jack is known for his conspiracy theories for Pizzagate, because Jack, I mean, dude, he was losing his fucking mind on Twitter.
He was like, Oh, you're a traitor because you're telling the truth. You're abandoning all the lies. Like, that's like, what are you talking about? Because Christian Walker clearly is laying out here, Hey, I like to, he's saying out loud, I lied to you. Mm-hmm. , he's telling his social media following that he lied to them and he's tired of it.
Listen, everything's been a lie. So for me to tell you, I'm not getting involved. And then you also be flooding my dms and calling me, saying, I didn't know all this about your dad. We're gonna lose the interview. And then when I simply say I'm done with the lies, you go, Well, Christian looks suspic. Excuse me.
I haven't told one story about what I experienced with him. I'm just simply saying, don't lie. And then for, for certain political pundits to be pulling up old pictures I posted of my dad thinking they can police and, and determine what my relationship with my dad was. If you wanna pull stuff up, I'll pull stuff up.
Now this is, I text you last night, Art this morning. It was this morning. I text you and I said, Hey, I think he's talking about you in this video. Cause you were one of the first ones to go to Instagram and start spreading. Cause I remember, I mean, I, I, Here's the thing, uh, for better or worse, uh, I, I discovered Christian during the pandemic and I make videos, uh, that are used to debunk the talking points that he has the election covid and you pretend to be his roommate.
And I make fun of you. Cause every once in a while I'll text if Christian comes up the news, I'm like, Hey, your roommate's outta control. Right? Can you get him back on track? You know, and, and so, so I make these videos, you know, out of comedic relief. But also to point out these talking points that the Republican party has either been regurgitating on Fox News or oan or whatever.
And I use it as that, you know, like obviously he becomes the butt of the joke because he's the one saying these things. But I use it as a way to directly kind of call out these lies that he. Or just the ridiculous things that he, that he said about random things. Um, and so I discover Christian that way.
And so now I'm kind of like on this like Christian Walker Tracker, which is any of the shit that comes out. He's blocking for most social media though, right? Yeah, he's blocking. So you've had to open up sock puppets just, just to see his stuff. So I'll, I'll send Gabe something from Christian's account.
I'm like, Hey, turn on your sock it. But he sent me, he need something this morning and I wasn't able to view it because Christian Walker had blocked my account. , Herschel Walker also blocked my account, but he, you know, Well that's like a trophy, right? No one ever blocked me. What in the hell? I mean, Danon Geno has blocked me, but you know, that's not surprising.
He blocked like everybody and Don Winslow blocked me as well. Oh, oh, and Seth Abra Abramson. Abramson, Yeah. Yeah. Well, Seth Abramson, he blocked me cuz I'm a, I forget his name, I forget his name, but Seth blocked me, Don blocked me. Um, but, and, and Dan Bonino is block me. That's really it. That's really it. And so with, with Christian, I've kind of, you know, I, I just follow along to see if he has any videos that are crazy.
You know? Mm-hmm. , most of them are. Um, and then so to say like, Oh, do I have time to like make a video kind of debunking this or what have you? And so then you get to this moment where you start seeing these posts and he's like, Oh, August 25th, 2021, my dad is running for Senate. Let's go team Herschel. Woo woo.
I'm so proud of you. Now, whether that was out of. From his father, the Republican party, what have you. I don't know. Well, doesn't that seem like in this video, cuz now I I I take anything this fucking asshole says with a grain salt. Yeah. But what he says in the front of this video is that he was supposed to air this stuff out in the campaign like he was supposed to repent type thing.
Yeah. And, and he said it didn't happen, right? And it didn't happen. He said, Yeah. So, so I don't know what was told him, what was promised to him. I have no idea. My guess is they got him in a room in Margo promised him all this stuff. So he would go out and act like he was supporting his dad so that they, he could run on a family values campaign.
His famous with him, and this is why Christian here is saying that all the right wing is mad that he hasn't been stumping for his dad, because that's what they expected of him, right? That's what they expected him to do. But he's saying, Hey, all this shit that you're wanting me to stump for him is all fucking lies.
And he says, I don't want to lie to you. He's telling, he's telling his social media following and the world. I don't want to lie anymore. It's all a lie about his dad. He'll lie about other things, right? I don't get to that. But he doesn't wanna lie about his dad anymore. And I, and I do, and I do kind of, so like, obviously there's that.
And then in December he had this speech that he gave at this Marla little, uh, uh, event for, you know, fundraising for his father. So at that point, what he's claiming right now, he's like, I did one event. I did one. And I was promised that he would get out ahead of this. So he announces in August, the events in December, he did the event because he was told his dad would get out ahead of it and announce this stuff.
I don't know how this, any of these stories that have come out help his candidacy as a US senator for the state of Georgia, but that's beyond me. And so you have this right now where Christian Walker says that he was promised these things, he was promised that he would get out ahead of it and he would do this.
But now we're finding out that Christian Walker has had enough. Right? He, he also was in a, in a previous video, he, he said, he said he knew about the other children, but he couldn't say anything or he didn't say anything. Right. And so now he's exposing these lies. Now whether this is, like you said, an off ramp for, for MAGA people or not, I don't know because as we see right now, the right is attacking him.
Greg Kelly is the pundit that he was just referring to in this video where he's like, Oh, the Greg Kelly's pu, he's post and hey. He's like, How dare you question my authenticity and blah, blah, blah. Did, did Greg Kelly steal it from. Because you were one of the first ones to be to social media with this.
Well, I was the first one to compare what he had posted in. I mean, other people brought up other pro. He still has tweets up. That's like my dad's running for Senate and it's his campaign video back in August. Right. Well, I mean, here's the thing. I, I don't, I don't think he should go scrub all that actually.
I think it's, I think it's good that he leaves it up so that way we can see what he's actually talking about. Because again, it's hard to believe anything that this asshole says. It is hard, It is hard for me to believe anything this asshole says. And, and, and what makes it easier to believe is when he is like, Hey, I'm telling you, I supported him because of this.
And he really did stop supporting him publicly. There wasn't a lot of support, um, for the last six, eight months since they really, since really people started, since he won the primary. Right. Since he won the primary and he was the candidate. And then people started to talking about, you know, the gun violence and the fucking, just the, the violence in general, right?
The way he treated his mom, the cheating. Just, just the, the, the other, the other children. And he's abandoned. I mean, this, this stuff started to compound, right? So, you know, I, I get that, that Christian is saying, Hey, I, I wanted him to basically repent from this and get out in front of him, but he didn't. And that was a lie.
But it's all lies. It's all lies. But let's listen to the, let's listen to the end of this and then we'll, we'll talk about, um, how this is important to Georgia and the democracy in general, and why this might just be an offer ramp for maga. Let's. Don't chime me. Don't test my authenticity. All of this has been a lie and you've known it, you've known, so don't you dare.
And then to the left who says, Well, he did all this to your mom and you were still with him. And you know, that's weird. You know nothing about my life. My parents went through a dirty divorce. I went through a lot as a child and, and you don't know anything. You don't know the ebbs and flows of our relationship.
Nobody knows anything. So for everyone making these wild theories and whatever, that, that, that's crazy. This is about a bunch of lies. Again, I could, if I had an issue with whatever, I could have ended this table. That's not my intention. My intention is don't lie about your life at the expense of me, my mom, and all of the people that you've affected throughout your life.
You don't get to pretend you're some moral family guy. You don't get to pretend all these things. Talk policy, talk normal. Do not lie. Very rich coming from a person who is in, um, actual support of Ron DeSantis and also goes on social media and just tells outright lies like on a daily basis, right? Um, you know, again, it's really hard to believe anything he.
Now the most important part about this that I want you to understand with politics to the audience is that he is burning down Herschel Walker's campaign, right? Um, this is, this is the the reason why Herschel Walker and the Republican Party wanted Christian Walker in Herschel's Camp because they knew this could happen, right?
They know Herschel Walker's pass. They know the facts about him. They know he's toxic. They know he will lose if this stuff gets out. And the one thing that could happen is the social media king or whatever you want to call him Christian Walker, cuz he's the one who has the social media following. He's the one that people are like, What the crazy ass shit are you talking about in a Starbucks drive Through this, they knew this could be a problem and they knew this would be problematic and they weren't able to reign this in all the way.
And the reason why is because it's all fucking lies. Christian knows it. The right wing knows it. Herschel knows it. The Republican party knows it. And it's not just Herschel Walker, it's Dr. Oz. He's a fucking liar. All that entire campaign built lines, JD Vance whole, fuck he was calling Trump, Hitler. Yeah.
Folks calling Trump, Hitler. And the dude has got his Cheeto dust knee pads on given the Cheeto dust monster political fio. Okay. It's all fucking lies. The entire Republican party, MAGA is all fucking built on the foundation of fascist lies, and Christian is still supporting this stuff now. Now, here's what I wanna say.
Here's why it's so important is because Warnock was likely gonna beat Hersha Walker in Georgia. These polls that you're seeing, I keep telling you, they're all bullshit. Now, if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy and it really motivates you to go vote, believe them fine, whatever, whatever it takes for you to get motivated to engage in your democracy, do that.
Do that thing now. Mm-hmm. , I will tell you, I think Warnock was gonna stop the shit, stomp the shit at a Herschel Walker. But again, the person who this morning is really fucking pissed off. I mean, I would imagine that the Kemp campaign and Brian Kemp is losing their fucking minds this morning because this is going to affect turnout in Georgia.
Just, and if you don't believe me, go back and look at the Senate runoff. Go back and look at it. When Donald Trump interjected himself with a bunch of nonsense into that runoff, and he lost both those seats for the Republicans because we got out and voted and he suppressed their vote. This is what it's gonna happen here, folks.
And Kemp is fucking pissed off because the seat that really matters here, and again, the Senate seat matters, Warnock matters, but the seat that really matters in Georgia for George Gins the most. The most, especially when it comes to accountability for the 2020 election, is that governor's seat. It's that fucking governor's seat that makes the biggest difference for Georgians to turn it around, to show Georgians that, hey, you may, you may think you don't like Democrats, but let's let a Democrat run the state who's competent and knows what the fuck they're doing.
And we'll show you that hey, you, you actually, you are a liberal. Yeah. You don't think you are, but you are. Right. You just don't know it. And that is the, that is the difference that needs to be made. And the same goes for Texas, for Florida, uh, for Pennsylvania. Uh, the same goes for all these states where democrats have this shot.
Mm-hmm. and Hersha Walker and Christian Walker. The story, I believe that, especially the Christian Walker side of the story, because it, it became less about him paying for an abortion, cuz really, I don't give a fuck that he paid for an abortion. I act, I actually think Hersha Walker probably did the right thing for that person.
Hersha Walker did the right thing by helping that woman receive a medical procedure so she didn't have to walk around and be tied to him for the rest of her fucking life because of a bad decision that she fucking made and that he fucking made. And that, that sh she could just, she could just make sure that she could move on and make her own choice for her, for what was medically necessary for her.
And he did, He apparently he paid for it and that sort of thing. I don't begrudge him for that. I don't begrudge him for that. I don't, I don't think that's a bad thing. Now the hypocrisy is, you know, on hand that's unhinged. But here's the thing about the Christian Walker part of it, because really Christian Walker overshadowed by him coming out and saying, This is all a bunch of bullshit.
All of it. Not just the abortion part, the kid part, him being violent. He, he's, he's not fit to be a senator is what Christian Walker is saying. And I think the most important part about this is this, this, uh, this attitude and this excuse of, Hey, I'm tired of the lies. This might be a good offramp for maga.
Yeah. This might be a good offramp for some of your family members who are believing, are acting like they're believing some of this qan on stuff. Um, some of this MAGA stuff, this Trumpism stuff, this might give them a sense of an offramp here. And I think that's a good thing. So I actually, I don't believe much that Christian says, and I actually think what he's doing here is total hypocrisy by making a video about, Oh, I'm tired of the lies.
Come on, Christian. Really? Are you tired of the lies? It's just because it's affecting him personally is the reason why he's tired of the lies. Right? And like I said, you know, uh, I don't like Christian Walker, right? I have my own shit with him. Uh, I don't, I don't, I don't respect the things that he follows in the sense of like, I don't believe that we should be taking away people's rights.
We should be, uh, denying, uh, bodily autonomy. I don't believe that we should be rejecting those in our community who are, um, who are trans, right? Like his transphobic, homophobic, bigoted hatred towards others does not at all absolve him. Like just because of what he did in coming out and speaking against his father in the public party does not at all absolve him of those sins in which he was hateful against those people.
Now, if this is him coming to the left and saying, Hey, uh, I actually had a fucking wrong the whole time. I actually wanna accept the Democratic party, then great, we'll take you in. We will take you in and you can be this person who. As an, a report wrong. I lied. Absolutely. I'd be like, I lied. Uh, I, this is, I, I was in a household, in a, in a party that instilled hatred and hurtful things.
And so the only way that I could feel like I belonged was to only regurgitate those things onto others, right? To push them onto others so that other people, white people, whoever, whoever would accept me for, for me. Now, whether that's fully accept me or not to be, you know, to be debated, but. Gabe, I, I, I got a, I got a few Florida guys that I wanna get to, and I noticed that we're running at a time, So there's a couple things here that I wanna share with the audience, um, to make sure that they know about these, these, these Florida men.
Yeah. Here's one of 'em. Here's a picture. I don't know why he's wearing an m and Invis. I'm not really sure. You know, he's supposed to make sure that Tucker Carlson, he, he, he consults with Tucker Carlson, that white boots and green M and Mss are not sex. You know, you're not supposed to do that anymore. You gotta cancel it.
Why is he wearing white boots? Number one and number two? And I, I don't have time to talk about this. I'm, Why, why don't they have any mud or dirt on them? Usually when you wear boots, it's like mud, dirt, water. Like there's muck and there's not. I've never, I've never, uh, I, this is the first time seen, uh, white, white mud boots typically see like a dark green.
But these are mud boots. These are not rain boots. Rain boots are a little different. These are, these are fucking mud boots. Look, I grew up on a farm. We had. We had mud boots everywhere. And generally the cheap ones are like black and they got like a red stripe around the soul. Yeah. You get, you know, expensive ones that are like, um, you know, they're kinda like Camou Lodge.
Some of 'em are warmer. They're insulated, right? But this is a pair of just straight up makes no sense. Cheap ass. He's, he's on the side of the state that had little to, uh, no damage as compared to the west side of states. Why is you wearing these boots? Number one? Well, it's all, again, it's projected show.
Look at me. I was fucking trucking water. I was water. I was, was a water that was this tall, which was a puddle. Right? Right. It's because somebody spilled water out of their bottle. Ran what? A fucking loser. Here's another Florida guy that I wanna get to. Um, you guys, you guys know him. He's another human traffick.
Speaking of human traffickers, around San is human traffickers. Here's, here's Matt Gatz. He's an alleged human er. Just a little different, but you know, they're all one and the same. Here he is saying he wants to abolish, um, the Veterans Affairs. He wants to abolish the va. He doesn't like veterans apparently.
Listen, it's really short. I mean, why not abolish the va? Huh? What, one more time? Why not abolish the va? Yeah, why not Matt Getz. So I, I would love to go on about that one too, but I don't think get needs very much explanation of why that's important. But Gabe, there's one thing I want to do before we leave, and I know we're running outta time.
Uh, and I said, I said in, in the first hour, I think the most important story today that you are not gonna hear about, that you need to pay attention to, that you need to talk about is justice. Kaji Brown Jackson absolutely does a magnificent job. Of course, she's such a brilliant human being, but she uses their originalist, uh, argument on the 14th Amendment A why this Alabama case of them trying to take away your right to vote is absolutely trash.
Um, let's listen to her argument here. Um, I don't think we can assume that just because race is taken into account that that necessarily creates an equal protection problem because I understood that we looked at the history and traditions of the Constitution at what the framers and the founders thought about.
And when I drilled down to that level of analysis, it became clear to me that the framers themselves adopted. Uh, the Equal Protection Clause, The 14th Amendment, The 15th Amendment in a race conscious way. So there she is. That's just a little clip. Go watch it. Um, it's on my feed. It is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful legal argument before the Supreme Court and the questions that she asks to say, Hey, you are full of shit.
When you say the 14th Amendment was race blind, it was done because of race. Yeah. And you need to recognize that. And she does a beautiful job. Um, this is why, this is why it is so important that you lean into democracy so that we can actually have focused people who are qualified and earn their positions on places like the Supreme Court, like Justice Gaji, Brown Jackson.
And I just wanna say I am proud that she's there. It, it was so great to hear someone with her experience as a black woman to be able to speak in a court about the issue at hand, that her ancestors and she would've been affected. if she would've been alive while that 14th amendment was being drafted, and she understands exactly what that 14th amendment did and exactly what the aim was by the framers and the founders.
And she absolutely uses originalist arguments to dunk. Mm-hmm. on these originalists, because they're not originalists, they're not anything, they're, They are hersha walkers. They are Rhonda Sandis. They are fucking liars. They are frauds. They are fascist folks. Thank you for joining us today, as you do every single weekday.
