Thank you all for joining Dr. Yamicia Connor, A. Eevie Bateman and me for another discussion on the decline of our healthcare system. Dr. Connor is bringing the data to help everybody understand just exactly what we’re up against.

A repeated theme in this conversation is how we’re all indoctrinated to retreat from hostile, conservative viewpoints. The fact of the matter is that the actual numbers prove that when Republicans push through things like bans on reproductive healthcare, both the infant and maternal mortality rate begin to rise. They call themselves “pro-life” but the truth is the exact opposite.

What Dr. Connor’s research shows is that this is the case for virtually every Republican initiative. Whenever they meddle in our healthcare, you see a dramatic increase in terrible healthcare outcomes. However, our mainstream media, and even many of the creators on Substack, seem to feel they have an obligation to present a conservative viewpoint as if it’s valid. The numbers don’t lie, and they show that conservative policies lead to preventable suffering and death.

I hope that all of you are able to watch this episode and the other videos in this series. We have to educate ourselves so we can go into the public and push back when ignorant people with a platform push blatantly inaccurate beliefs. We have to stop the normalization of a self-righteous attitude that allows our government to dismantle our healthcare system and inflict harm upon us.

This is a big problem and it’s not going to be easy to solve. We need a massive restructuring of education, the media, healthcare, and our political system. That’s a lot to take on, but the fact of the matter is that our healthcare system is unsustainable. I always say that if the banks were too big to fail in 2008, then our healthcare system is also too big to fail in 2026. We need to implement universal healthcare immediately, and even if we start today, the work will continue for probably the next decade.

We’ll be there doing the work until this gets fixed.

Please share this video and watch it with your friends. Also, please follow Dr. Connor, A. Eevie Bateman, and myself. Thanks so much for your time!

I just received another bit of hate mail from a white supremacist who accused me of anti-white racism. I couldn’t hit the block button fast enough, but on the way, I caught his profile pic and I couldn’t help but laugh.

You could tell this was a guy who was engaged in performative masculinity. He had this neatly groomed beard and a thousand dollar haircut. At least the AI prompted profile pic he’d selected for himself did.

The white supremacist haircut is a thing. It’s the look that says, “I’m a wretched alcoholic who can’t do a pullup and I used to work at Faux news.” What’s the oil they use to slick down the look? It makes their hair glisten like a horse’s mane. It’s probably some sort of concoction of Ivermectin and erectile dysfunction medication. They use it wrong because these dupes are too busy goose stepping to ever read any instructions. Their hair product makes their balls shrink, so they have to cut off the muffler on their vehicle so they can sound loud and proud.

Man these crybabies! Oh my goodness!

Again, I know I shouldn’t engage with trolls, and I didn’t technically. I just blocked and mocked. I’m just extending the mocking period for about 10 minutes.

These loathsome little man children.

These babies.

These keyboard warriors.

They all remind me of Jessie Watters. Jessie Waters actually insulted my masculinity one time. Yeah, the guy who puts so much product into his hair that his head would explode if he ever attended one of his kid’s birthday parties? That guy insulted my masculinity.

Not to my face of course. He insulted me from the safety of his little Fox news desk in an air conditioned studio which is probably paid for by taxpayer funded subsidies. He’s a big tough guy screaming and yelling at a picture of me. Thanks for modeling what a real man looks like you twerp.

Why do the folks on Fox news wear Black suits? I capitalized Black there because doing so pisses off white supremacists. How do you like that you Faux news pea brains?

They should wear white suits, and hoods. Come to think of it, they should just wear the robes. If they really want to show us how tough they are, they should nail themselves to those crosses they burn.

Do it.

I’m not going to watch, but I’ll probably smell the rot in the air and hear the sizzle of the fat between their ears.

I’m so tired of these crybabies pointing at me with tears in their eyes and whining about their feelings. That’s literally the only thing that white supremacists ever talk about.

Wah, wah, wah! Everything is so unfair for them. They’ll literally kill somebody and then be angry that the family doesn’t like them.

“Why won’t you ever invite me over to dinner?”

“Because you’re a vicious, murdering, child raping, monster.”

“So much for the tolerant left.”

I’m going to tell you all something and I want you to listen up. The reason we got into this mess is because we’ve been way too lenient when it comes to white supremacists. In fact, blocking them isn’t enough. Once they reveal themselves, you should track them down. You should take screenshots of their hate. You should forward those screenshots to their employers and their parents and their romantic partners and everyone within a thousand miles of those jerks.

Let the world know what they are. Expose them. Flush them out like rats. Get them to jump into the raging seas in a desperate effort to save themselves.

These are the monsters who are out committing acts of domestic terrorism. These are the monsters who are destroying everything in our society.

If they want to come onto one of my articles and accuse me of “anti-white” racism, then I’m going to hit back a thousand times as hard. I’m going to hit them so hard that they won’t wake up until we have universal healthcare and education. I’m retaliating in self-defense because they’re always the ones who launch unprovoked attack after unprovoked attack.

They’ve bombed US cities. They’ve infiltrated police. They’ve infiltrated school boards. They’ve infiltrated the oval office.

But all that isn’t enough. Their minions have to come crawling onto my articles and hurl their pathetic and predictable insults at me. White supremacists are clearly unable to distinguish between a child and a man. In real life, all they do is punch down at children, and that emboldens them to think they can punch up at a man online.

I’m not having it.

Dear white supremacists. Everybody hates you. Please nail yourself to those crosses you burn. The whole world will applaud. It will be the one act of your life that will make the world a better place, and the sooner we forget you ever existed the better off everyone will be.

So feel free to cut and paste this whole article as a response the next time some coward white supremacist with an AI avatar featuring a fake beard comes waltzing in to stir up trouble in your feed.

We’re done with them.

As Neil Young said, “All your crosses are burning fast.”

Not fast enough.

I loved this conversation with Blondie's Justice Journal. Bri is absolutely brilliant and I learned so much from her in this conversation. She recently ran for congress in Georgia and generated an amazing amount of support. It brings joy to my heart to know that compassionate and brilliant people like Bri are out there making a positive impact on the world!

The reason I’ve attended every single sports practice for any team my daughter has been a part of is because I don’t trust conservative men around children.

Conservative men are monstrous. They don’t see children as human beings. They use any form of vulnerability as an excuse to reinforce their ideology of abuse and oppression.

I grew up with conservative men. I know what they’re capable of. Physical violence, including sexual violence, is how they create the trauma bond that maintains their authority.

I’m not exaggerating. I’m not being extreme. I’m merely stating a fact.

Sometimes people recoil when I speak this truth. “Oh, that’s not true,” they say. Or, “You have to give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Excuse me? The fact that anyone thinks they can presume to lecture me on the precautions I have to take to protect my children is part of the problem. The mass of people are such delusional cowards that they prefer to antagonize me rather than face the wrath of Republican child rapists.

That’s the social conditioning we have to overcome.

We all have to recognize that we have no obligation to give Republicans or conservatives “the benefit of the doubt.” They haven’t earned it. Their actions prove otherwise.

Republicans rape kids. There is literally nothing else that they stand for.

As far as I’m concerned, you either steadfastly reject any ideology that leads to child rape, or you become complicit. I’m not going to become complicit through silence. It’s time we stopped worrying about the feelings of child rapists and started worrying about the children instead.

Let’s hold child rapists accountable. We haven’t up until now. That alone is pretty strong evidence that something needs to fundamentally change.

Whenever anyone starts bleating about the need for “bipartisanship,” I cut them off pretty quickly.

“I don’t negotiate with child rapists. Neither should you. What’s wrong with you?”

When people mention “bipartisanship,” you have a moral obligation to make them squirm. I have no responsibility to assume any Republicans are good. I need to see the actual behavior. From what I’ve seen, they’re all complicit in terrible crimes against humanity. None of them deserve a free pass.

“Well, what evidence do you have that Republicans are child rapists?” people sometimes scoff.

That’s when I crack my knuckles. It’s a long list.

Take, for example, the fact that the Republican party is in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency act. They were supposed to release all the files on December 19th, 2025.

They didn’t.

Instead, the entire Republican party has done everything in its power to keep those files buried. Don’t try to say that they couldn’t have done anything about it. The party has enough political power to call for votes and use the power of Congress to ensure the release.

They haven’t.

Instead, they doxed and swatted the Epstein survivors. They did the same thing to Jane Doe when she came forward with her lawsuit against the Cornell 7. Whenever anyone calls out Republicans for their crimes against humanity, other Republicans attack the accuser like a pack of wild dogs. Republicans are terrified that we might start speaking the truth about they stand for. Republicans respond to true accusations with a violent rage panic that’s as pathetic as it is cruel.

We’ve seen Republican pundits go onto their propaganda platforms to denounce the accusers rather than the accused again and again and again.

Republicans are the protectors of child rapists. They are the enablers. They are the transgressors. Do not allow your children to be alone with any Republicans.

The worst of it is that the Epstein files only represent the tip of the iceberg.

Speaking of ice, consider that ICE is the Republican government’s taxpayer funded child rape squad. It still boggles my mind that our government allows men to put on body armor and masks and molest people without ever identifying themselves as law enforcement officers.

Cowards have been posing as ICE to rape innocent people, the Republican government does nothing. They’re not even outraged. In fact, they seem to approve.

Children are getting raped in detention centers. This is because of Republicans. They get taxpayer money and use it to fund rapists. This is the Republican way. Republicans care nothing about anything other than raping your kids.

Now consider the January 6th pardons. These are men the president freed from prison. Some of them went out into your community to rape kids.

Protecting and enabling child rapists is literally the only thing Republicans do. They are the party of child rape. It is fundamental to their ideology. Raping kids is the only thing they care about.

The president himself is a rapist. All the millions of people who voted for him are guilty of enabling a rapist. The president is not the only one. There are literally thousands of Republicans who have been found guilty of rape. Check out this list (it includes court documents). Don’t try to pretend that list doesn’t exist or you became a child rape enabler too.

For all of the people out there who try to say, “Rape is not an issue for just one political ideology,” I have a simple answer.

You’re wrong.

Rape is overwhelmingly a feature of the Republican party. From the torments I endured growing up, I know that conservative men are inclined to sexually torture their own children. They inflict pain in order to establish themselves as the eternal, unquestionable patriarch. They consider themselves above accountability. That’s why you saw Captain Ketchup ear go on a temper tantrum grievance crusade when he was hauled into court for business fraud related to election interference.

Republicans think they’re above the law, that includes the natural law that establishes child rape as a crime against humanity. Republicans don’t have a legitimate ideology. They’re sick. They need to be opposed and deprogrammed.

It’s a fact that Republicans are the party of child rape. They depend on the trauma bond they inflict through child abuse to prevent us from calling them out on their crimes. They depend on guilt and shame and their hoarding of power. But it’s time for the rest of the world to stop being complicit with these monsters.

Call them out!

We need to start teaching our children the tactics of child groomers at school. We need to teach them for their own protection. That alone would essentially end the Republican party. Anyone who is against this initiative is an enabler of child rape.

Republicans refuse to prosecute the Epstein criminals. They call themselves “protectors,” even as they’re the ones who are most likely to torture us. They subject us all to economic misery so we become desperate and dependent. Literally everything Republicans do is so they can abuse, exploit, and oppress vulnerable children.

Call them out.

There’s no compromising with Republicans. All they want to do is hurt us. It’s time that we stood shoulder to shoulder with the innocent and with the survivors and ended the transgressions of child abusers forever.

Speak the truth. Stop burying it. Do not become another child rape enabler. Republicans rape kids. They should be disqualified from wielding power in the home, at church, at school, or in the government. Say the words. Help save our kids!
