The John Held Show

Transcript: 

2020 was quite the year; we are approximately one day away from President-Elect Joe Biden's inauguration. However, this inauguration is like none the United States has seen before; it is shrouded in mystery and secrecy. It is also going to be one of the most hypocritical inaugurations the United States has ever seen. From 8 Foot high Un-Scaleable fences surrounding this great nation's capital to barbed wire to indirect threat to shoot and kill any protestors who may try to breach the perimeter, this inauguration seemly goes against everything democrats have preached during the BLM riots. But why, why are there more soldiers quartered in the United States capitol than there are in Iraq? For those of you who have been living under a rock, allow me to bring you up to speed; on January 6th, 2020, President Trump gave a speech in which he implored his supporters to protest the election results peacefully. However, once the march on the capitol had begun, Alt-Right and Alt-Left Instigators, both equally at fault, began to riot.

Keep in mind this is all happening during the certification of votes; what the rioter thought they could accomplish by storming the capitol, I don't know, but I know that one officer was killed in these riots. To be clear, this is despicable. I expect all of those responsible both directly and indirectly for being put up against a wall and shot. But this pales compared to the Black Lives Matter Riots, which saw over 19 people killed, most of which were killed not by police officers but by rioters. This was civilian on civilian violence. Yet the response from liberal politicians was that the over militarization and national guard response were racist, exacerbated the situation, and was the riots' sole cause. However, their tone has changed, with over 25,000 troops in the United States capitol, the Liberal Media seems to believe, or at least they want you to believe this is necessary because clearly, the rioters were super dangerous. But wouldn't the military response "Exacerbate" the situation. Violence, no matter which side of the aisle it comes from, is violence, but the liberal media portrays that violence is sometimes the answer, but only if it furthers the democrat's party's goals. But violence isn't the topic of this podcast. Hypocrisy is. The same double standard that was applied to Donald Trump and so many Conservative politicians, including Texas Rep Louie Gohmert, who literally quoted verbatim what Nancy Pelosi had said previous, which was "I don't know why they aren't more uprisings all over the country." is being applied now with the inauguration. But let us look further into the Democrat party and their thoughts on what should happen after the new regime is inaugurated. An attorney for Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) resigned after a Project Veritas video showed the man expressing support for re-education camps for the children of President Donald Trump's supporters. Yes, you heard that right; they want to put people's kids into concentration camps because of their beliefs. Crazy how "Kids in Cages" aged so well since its inception under the Obama-Biden Administration, an administration in which we still don't know the president's last name, like what's Obama's last name? Jokes aside, though, this is a serious matter that our leaders, Joe Biden included, need to address. If not discussed, we may be looking at a full-blown civil war, and I don't say that lightly, but if Americans stop trusting their institutions, they will overthrow them. That's a fact that applies to every country in the world. So it's time democrats start believing in their message of unity because America is nothing without the consent of the Populus. That's all for today, until next week, keep it civil. 

In today's episode, we talk about social justice, Breonna Taylor, Tiktok and how we move forward after George Floyd 

Today, I share my opinion on the destruction of Confederate war statues. 

Today we discuss the myth that African Americans are shot by police at a disproportionate rate compared to their white counterparts. We accomplished this by circumventing inch-deep activism and discovering the real reason African Americans are shot at a rate higher than that of whites.  For more please read my article on Police Shootings, titled "Police Brutality is Not a Commonplace" on medium : https://medium.com/triggered-opinion/police-brutality-is-not-a-common-place-99afcb788fb3

Opinion: Police officers in the United States have been demonized, they have been fired, and arrest. But for what. They did nothing that was actually wrong. It seems like more and more we see officers afraid to do their jobs, and now in some cities there is a shortage of police officers because those who may want to join the force feel as if they are taking a risk. If they join and if the day comes where they have to choose between their life and the life of a suspected criminal and they choose their life they could face murder charges. 

I would like to begin by apologizing for the sound quality the microphones we are using are still the same but the location is different due to the increase in the number of people. Otherwise than that we have a productive conversation about abortion, its morality, and its legality.

White Claws are good, they taste good. When I first drank one it wasn't because society told me to, I drank it because I wanted too. So stop telling me I choose what I eat or drink based on society.

Most people who create podcast know what they want to do. But they don't know what they want to change in the world. Podcasting is an art, art is made to compel, or question. In this episode, I aim to introduce myself and to tell you what the goals of the podcast triggered.
