07:15.30
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

07:23.80
J. Aundrea
Um.

07:25.13
Bruce Anthony
It's going to turn people off speaking of turning people off or turning people away or people call us in a ruckus Joe Bis with sentence today the 17 or 18 year seventeen years right.

07:33.92
J. Aundrea
Yes, he got 17 years yes just shy of the longest but longest punishment imposed on a participant that went to I believe um.

07:46.45
Bruce Anthony
1 eye.

07:50.89
J. Aundrea
Oathkeepers it was the oathkeepers founder steart rhoads. He was found guilty of a seditious conspiracy involving his extremist group and he got sentenced earlier this year to 18 years but Biggs is right behind him.

07:53.70
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah.

08:03.26
Bruce Anthony
Okay, yeah, so Joe bigs for those people that don't know who he is is a former top organizer for the pro boys like we said he was sentence us to 17 years in prison for his roleing the January six assault on the capitol he was ah.

08:19.52
J. Aundrea
Terrorist assault.

08:20.81
Bruce Anthony
Terrorist assault on on the capitol he was convicted of seditious conspiracy and other felonies stemming from his leadership role for the January Six terrorist assault on the capitol like we said he's it's one of the longest sentences 17 s right behind 18 for the guy from the oathkeepers.

08:38.28
J. Aundrea
Is.

08:40.50
Bruce Anthony
He's one of 4 proud boys found guilty at trial um earlier this year for you know, causing the 6 January Six terrorist assault for basically trying to keep Trump in power. That's basically what it did.

08:52.61
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

08:56.90
Bruce Anthony
Ah, the justice department argues bigs is as responsible as former proud boys chairman Henry Enrique tarro for his group's involvement in the once again, the capital terrorist attack on January six and that both men deserve to spend 33 years in prison. Um.

09:09.28
J. Aundrea
Um.

09:15.40
Bruce Anthony
This wouldn't be a record setting punishment for a participant because that was obviously the the head of the oathkeepers but it was just behind it now people are asking me like are people really going to jail for January Six ah in relation to the january sixth attacks more than 950 people

09:21.30
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

09:33.28
Bruce Anthony

J. Aundrea
Yeah, the name gets longer and longer every time you say it? Yeah, the empty black terrorists.

09:53.40
Bruce Anthony

10:13.20
J. Aundrea
I Don't know I don't know that didn't Well yeah, you might be right? Yeah, the day don't from what I know historically Haitians don't get much love in the Dominican Republic though.

10:28.43
Bruce Anthony
Oh of course not because they're black and Dominicans don't consider themselves black. But anyway about yeah now our goddaughter our cousin dominican So I love Dominicans they.

10:32.49
J. Aundrea
You just go Anger a whole country.

10:42.44
J. Aundrea
Yes, again, that is that is a dead is ah talking point that you cannot use your proximity to someone to absolve yourself.

10:47.16
Bruce Anthony
I Like legitimate hold on I Legitimately don't have any problem with Dominicans I'm just staying for the facts a lot of dominicans that I know don't consider themselves black.

11:02.63
J. Aundrea
Well anti-blackness in in Latin America and the caribbean is where we already know that that's a colorism and antiblackness that that's a real problem.

11:13.44
Bruce Anthony
I would say colorism I would say anti darkness because that's the cross. You know what's funny to me all Lord here. We go. Oh oh lord here we go tangent that we hold on. Let me say this and then I'll go back to the tangent about 3 right.

11:21.69
J. Aundrea
It's it's anti blackness Oh look a D d.

11:31.75
Bruce Anthony
Who's it. What's the girl that says that again.

11:33.82
J. Aundrea

12:12.40
Bruce Anthony
I know people from India They even have lighting cream lightning cream to make themselves like right? However, you know what's funny everybody want to be lighter except when they want to get a tan. Yeah, this is is the strangest thing in the world to me.

12:16.79
J. Aundrea
Um, that's global. That's so that's a billion dollar industry look.

12:25.74
J. Aundrea
So strange. Yeah, like so strange. Yeah.

12:31.12
Bruce Anthony
White people in this country. Not all white people not all white people but it'd be funny because sometimes some of the most racist white people. Love tann and case and point are our former president the United States he loved getting tannny. He don't like black people.

12:42.64
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean I don't know any orange people besides him because he is very much orange but you do have a point correct is terrible.

12:49.71
Bruce Anthony
No, that's I know a lot of orange people. That's a spray tan. Well I mean he's 79 years old you know I don't know what a.

12:59.57
J. Aundrea
Speaking of old did you see glitch Mcconnell freeze up again.

13:04.37
Bruce Anthony
I I don't I don't think that's funny to joke on him I do not like what he stands for I Therefore as his politics I do not wish that on anybody that that freezing like that that seem almost like the sunken place.

13:11.36
J. Aundrea
Here's the thing here's what.

13:20.88
J. Aundrea
Here's my thing It is hilarious and I'm tell you why solar he is I'm tell you why this is hilarious because he's not a good person and so to see him glitch out I don't know why we have.

13:23.10
Bruce Anthony
Okay, here we go No, it's though it's not okay. Um.

13:38.25
J. Aundrea
Have to pretend like people are good people just because they're old and sick. First of all god will and all of us are gonna get old and sick one day like I I have wish that all of us got old one day as old as Mitch Mcconnell who is ancient. But.

13:39.97
Bruce Anthony
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not right.

13:55.89
J. Aundrea
I'm not going to pretend like it doesn't give me some weird little joy to see him like really fumble like this does that make.

14:12.74
Bruce Anthony
I mean I don't agree with it but me and you differ when it comes to things like this and this is um and I have a point to this mean you differ when it comes to things like this I can look at people who I absolutely disagree with right.

14:24.91
J. Aundrea
M.

14:27.52
Bruce Anthony
And as long as they're not a hypocrite if they believe what they believe I least have respect for them to stand up for what they believe in no matter if it's wrong or right because I'm not always right right? I think I'm right most of time but I'm not always right? but I stand on my confiions I Believe what I believe and I stand on that.

14:42.84
J. Aundrea
Um.

14:43.17
Bruce Anthony
He believes what he believes and he stands on it I can respect him a whole hell of a lot more for being consistently who he is than somebody. That's a flip flopper like ah Donald Trump or Matt Gatez or marger Taylor Green ah I know

14:52.37
J. Aundrea
I find that I find that weird.

14:58.24
Bruce Anthony
I can say to somebody that I fundamentally disagree with your belief system. But I don't but I don't.

15:01.73
J. Aundrea
I I don't disagree with his belief system I I disagree with the very tangible things that he's doing to ruin people's lives like it's we can disagree. We can disagree on.

15:10.99
Bruce Anthony
You call it ruin he thinks he's he.

15:16.60
J. Aundrea
No, there's no way that he thinks he's doing anything for the lgbtq community or for black people or for exactly that's that's my point but my there's no way that I can. Okay if we disagree on something in theory fine. But when you start to put.

15:19.41
Bruce Anthony
No because he doesn't care about the Lgbt Q community.

15:34.32
J. Aundrea
Harmful things into practice a daily practice. He he fundamentally changed the federal Judiciary and that is going to affect particularly ah communities of color but poor low income communities for.

15:41.90
Bruce Anthony
And.

15:53.27
J. Aundrea
Decades.

15:54.49
Bruce Anthony
I'm not disputing any of that and I'm not disagreeing with anything that you're saying.

15:57.25
J. Aundrea
In ah so I can't just say that I respect somebody for being a bigot and then act and like it because at least you're consistent now I don't.

16:07.32
Bruce Anthony
That's not no, no, that's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying you know that's not what I'm saying I'm that's not what I'm saying see.

16:15.36
J. Aundrea
Um.

16:17.53
J. Aundrea
And and anyway I don't think I nobody wants to be put nobody wants to be put in that position.

16:19.72
Bruce Anthony
You got me up here defending Mitch Mcconnell and I'm not trying to defend Mitch Mcconnell I'm trying to defend my nobody would be all I'm saying is I'm not gonna take joy in the fact that he is clearly having something medically happening to him.

16:34.54
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

16:36.72
Bruce Anthony
And instead of those people around him being like yo man like you need to take care of yourself. They keep propping them up that they keep propping them up which by the way he's not the only 1 Diane Feinstein Joe ah my man crazy Joe.

16:41.23
J. Aundrea
So stop step back? Yeah, and that's and that's the funny. Um and that's the funny that that's what makes it funny is the fact that they keep.

16:55.00
Bruce Anthony
Is that they proper them off but that's the same thing they say about crazy Joe though. That's what same thing they say about crazy Joe.

16:58.83
J. Aundrea
Weekend at bernieing him. It is like and so we should be talking about what age limits and term limits each term limits.

17:10.00
Bruce Anthony
I I don't know if age limits is this thing term limits yes term limits yes but age limit I'm not going because I know there are some people speaking of which speaking of which.

17:18.86
J. Aundrea
These are people making decisions about our country and the way we're represented abroad I want their minds sharp.

17:27.70
Bruce Anthony
Well yeah, well I mean then we gotta talk to people that's electing them to office right? I.

17:35.57
J. Aundrea
But when the pool we get to choose from is a bunch of 8090 year old men. So.

17:42.79
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and and this is it's a sprinkle of women in there this this a sprinkle. It's a sprinkle. Well every time that we had well no, there was a time where we had 2 young presidents 3 were young presidents back to back to back. We had Bill.

17:48.58
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but let's be honest, this country's now ready for that.

18:02.81
Bruce Anthony
Slick Willy we had smooth w and we had cool Barack I mean we had three back to back to back young presidents and the country was still left up. so so so I mean

18:08.77
J. Aundrea
You're right.

18:19.58
Bruce Anthony
Maybe we get old folks a run and crazy Joe Ai n't doing a bad job contrary to what other people want. Want to say you know he Ai n't doing a bad job bouncing back gear bounceer bag. It still ain't there but just bouncing yeah is bouncing is bouncing back it slowly that boun.

18:24.27

18:38.57
Bruce Anthony
Ah, bounces of basketball. Yeah does bankhead bounce back? Yeah, doing that bad a job. But ah yeah, you had me up here defending Mitch Mcconnell I'm not trying to defend Mitch Mcconnell what I basically was trying to say is I don't take joy in the fact.

J. Aundrea
Ah, is doing a little bank hair bounce back? Um, that's what's happening. Yeah.

18:58.35
J. Aundrea
No, what I'm what I what I find funny is not that he's having hell for the shoes. What I actually find funny is just the way that they're fumble in it like the the handling of it. They just keep propping him up like a scarecrow.

18:58.62
Bruce Anthony
He's having health issues no matter I just I'm just not going to take joy in it.

19:15.82
Bruce Anthony
Ah, yeah, it was really bad that the first time it happened the first time it happened I was like oh that's no, that's no good and that was just like a couple of weeks ago and now he's having another one on the open. How many is he having behind the scenes.

19:18.85
J. Aundrea
It's really bad.

19:24.65
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, right? and they keep saying oh he was feeling lightheaded. You know when you feel lightheaded you go lightheaded. That's what you do.

19:31.99
Bruce Anthony
How many does he have in behind the scenes. So. Um, you get for for the people that for people that's listening on the audio. My sister tucked her head down put her hand on a headset like you trying to gain balance but maybe his maybe his game balance is just be still.

Ah, only I only I can see the Dema Hu this ain't good and then they gonna come up and then they go come over and ask him are you okay like now I see a damon that don't nobody else see that don't look good for me. How can I change my ways. It's too late.

21:47.72
J. Aundrea
For love. That's not good. It's It's not great. No.

22:00.61
J. Aundrea
Is it too late is this. It's is this a screwge situation and I have I get visited by 3 goats is that time is it still time for me changing my ways. That's what I want to know.

22:07.25
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you not you not recall in the bureau of Bill Murray movie screws oh my god talk about age but look that's enough of the dili data lin let's get to some serious stuff since we was talking about Mitch Mcconnell and his hatred for the lgpt community.

22:23.16
J. Aundrea
Um, go.

22:27.38
Bruce Anthony
Let's talk about how Canada is telling its folks, you better, watch out.

22:41.91
Bruce Anthony
Well sis ah did you hear about what canada told its lgbtq community before visiting the US.

22:48.55
J. Aundrea
I did not until you told me about it.

22:53.58
Bruce Anthony
All right? So Canada basically gave an advisory to all of its canadians fellow canadians that are in the lgbtq plus community to be on high alert when coming into the United States um because some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect those people the lgbtq plus communities and to check the relevant state and local laws for wherever they're going to visit the global affairs canada stated. Since the beginning of 2023 certain states in Usf passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender affirmative care and from particip participation in sporting events neither the statement nor the trial advisory singled out any specific states or laws but I will red states. Um.

23:43.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

23:46.63
Bruce Anthony
And and you know that's basically what's going on So we've created such a hostile hatred environment to people of the lgbtq plus community that other countries are saying hey yo you might want to be careful when you travel there kind of similar to black folks.

23:58.19
J. Aundrea
Um.

24:05.97
Bruce Anthony
And stay woke now. What do I mean when I say that the history of the word woke was was told to black people to stay awake when they were driving in areas in and the south. That were not friendly to black folks. That's where the word woke come from to stay woke to be aware of dangerous surroundings. So Canada is basically telling its lgp t q plus community to stay woke when traveling to certain states and cities.

24:28.42
J. Aundrea
Um.

24:42.81
J. Aundrea
Um, fair fair, no is fair is um, we should be issuing these same warnings if just traveling inter so you know.

24:42.88
Bruce Anthony
In the US the home of the free. The home of the free and the land of the brave. That's what they say.

24:59.62
J. Aundrea
Across the country. Um, it's a hundred percent fair because they're not wrong. These not. It's not just laws against something that seems innocuous like a drag show. It's literally the writing into law. Ah Transphobia and anti-trans legislation that's depriving people of their bodily autonomy depriving people of the ability to identify the way that they want or need to. So fact in the mental health and of of a large swath of our community. We're dealing with it every day. So I think it's fair for other countries to say look the us is getting kind of crazy. We've never been in that position though. That's usually us.

25:52.44
Bruce Anthony
Right.

25:53.87
J. Aundrea
Given out those advisories. Um, so it's strange to be in this position. Other countries are warning about travel to the US but as valid.

26:03.64
Bruce Anthony
Well, let me just tell you how valid it is this year. There's been a record shattering. Ah for anti- Lgb tq plus legislation with particular scrutiny on gender affirming Health Care access for Trans children for transgender children and teenagers. 19 of the fifty states nineteen of the 50 states have passed laws restricting it while some states have enacted laws that Punish Health care professionals who provide gender affirming treatment to minors with prison time prison time.

26:38.15
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

26:39.31
Bruce Anthony
Others have built in limited exceptions from minors to continue medication based on non-surgical forms of care so they could take like hormone therapy and I guess um testosterone blockers but they can't get no snip sn.

26:56.10
J. Aundrea
Um.

26:59.70
Bruce Anthony
Corrections or anything like that. Ah the wide ranging restrictions have created a complicated legal landscape for Trans people to Maneuver several of the Bans Force Legal challenges from Health Care providers and civil rights organizations. So we're fighting back. But.

27:15.87
J. Aundrea
Um.

27:17.25
Bruce Anthony
When 19 of the 50 states have let me explain to you guys what this basically means do y' ah remember slavery.

27:29.37
J. Aundrea
I seem to recall a period in the time of African Americans in this country in which we were enslaved. Yes.

27:30.53
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah.

27:38.97
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, um, there were a certain number of states that had slavery and a certain number of states that outlawed slavery split like half and half and ah those same states.

27:50.37
J. Aundrea
Um.

27:56.82
Bruce Anthony
Basically had slavery. You will see that they are similar states that are writing this anti Lg B T Q Plus legislation nineteen states. So what does that mean the country is divided as country's always been divided.

28:05.95
J. Aundrea
Moon.

28:15.25
Bruce Anthony
So always been divided into the north and the south and maybe some people who fly over states they they go back and forth I know Illinois is a blue state but then Ohio is a red state in Wisconsin is now purple even though Wisconsin let me tell you how crazy Wisconsin is they they elect. Their supreme court justices the liberal side of the wisconsin supreme court just got a new member that was just elected in. So.

28:32.92
J. Aundrea
M.

28:46.30
Bruce Anthony
They're going to some of these redistricting laws that the republicans of Wisconsin were trying to get past they know now that this quote unquote liberal judge is going to side with the liberal side of the supreme court and not allow this gerrymandering redistricting. So what they are trying to do. Trying to ve her veto her out of office. They either want her to recruit recuseuse herself from participating in the case of this redist redistricting gerrymandering or they will veto her and guess what they have all the numbers to veto. It's a simple majority in the house.

29:15.62
J. Aundrea
You know.

29:24.81
Bruce Anthony
And a 2 wo-thirs majority in the senate and they had the numbers so because they do because this judge probably is not going to do what these republicans want her to do duly elected judge. They're going to ve to her and kick her out of office.

29:36.35
J. Aundrea
Um.

29:42.76
Bruce Anthony
Now Now you tell me ladies and gentlemen is that ethical is that fair play is that democracy or is that do it my way or get the hell out.

30:00.98
J. Aundrea
Damshire ain't democracy.

30:01.85
Bruce Anthony
Um, it's against democracy because this person was elected into office and now they're trying to veto her out but this is this is the landscape of politics and so a tax on the L to B T Q Plus Community is something that politicians can run on now because it ah appeals to the.

30:05.00
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

30:18.89
J. Aundrea
Ah.

30:19.71
Bruce Anthony
Base who's supposed to be evangelical and accept and love everybody and follow the teachings of Jesus but we've already established over at last couple episodes that these ah Jesus loving. Christian folks don't follow the teachings of christianity they follow conservative beliefs which is not what Jesus was teaching but okay, that's how you want to live your life. That's how you want to live your life and now other countries are considering us dangerous dangerous.

30:39.90
J. Aundrea
I mean okay.

30:48.44
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

30:51.84
Bruce Anthony
To come and visit.

30:53.80
J. Aundrea
Yes, fair.

30:56.14
Bruce Anthony
I mean I I don't really know what else to talk about this I felt like this should be a longer segment. Well I'm kind of just depressed and just like I had to talk to somebody recently and and they were defending Dave Chappelle and his attacks.

31:04.13
J. Aundrea
It is very depressing.

31:15.19
Bruce Anthony
On transgender and and let's be clear Dave hasn't necessarily attacked transgender. He's just not been the ally that I believe he should be for transgender folks and and the person that I was having a debate with was just like hey he was just trying to make a point that you know.

31:25.93
J. Aundrea
Just.

31:33.20
Bruce Anthony
Black people. You know, get discriminated against 2 and it's like yeah, okay, but when did this become I I got that was a later point. But the first initial point was when did this become ah a competition of trauma.

31:36.41
J. Aundrea
As if Trans people can also be black. Yeah.

31:47.93
J. Aundrea
Right.

31:50.54
Bruce Anthony
Like I I don't know why people want to do my trauma was harder than just you want know how how hard I had This is what I had to do and I guess we're taught because our parents taught us look y'all think it's hard now when I was your age I had to do this this this this and this and I guess this past I guess that.

32:05.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah I had to walk fifteen miles of school through snow barefoot.

32:10.24
Bruce Anthony
Right? And like no, you did not Grandma and grand day gave you shoes and you called a bus you called a bus you were bused to school so but I guess that's where it comes from is the generation before us telling us how hard they had it so you had to out trauma the next person. Okay.

32:14.60
J. Aundrea
It right.

32:26.20
J. Aundrea
And.

32:28.00
Bruce Anthony
So maybe it's a societal thing and and a lot of times often in society people. Don't want to admit, but they're wrong and they don't want to apologize. It's becoming more and more prevalent as as we move forward in society and life. But I said well Dave was sitting there comparing traumas number 1 and saying well my our trauma is is is longer lasting and is more deeply rooted in America so we get first divbs and I like nobody gets first dibs on trauma that's number one and I was like and number 2 he's completely ig ignorering that there are black people that are trans and the majority of the people that are committing suicide in the trans community are black.

32:45.41
J. Aundrea
Um.

32:52.87
J. Aundrea
No.

33:03.60
J. Aundrea
That are being murdered in the Trans community.

33:04.59
Bruce Anthony
And when I pointed it out to right that are either committing suicide or being murdered. They're black and when I pointed out to that person. They're like um, you know what you're right I didn't think about that and I was like huh so you can have intellectual debate and people actually listen to your point of view.

33:21.28
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, yes.

33:23.35
Bruce Anthony
Because I was hearing what he had to say and I understanding as a black man. What Dave was trying to say I know what he was trying to say just I'm not gonna go to a jewish person and be like you know slavery was worse than the holocaust I would never compare traumas like that I would never go to a native american person or or what are we indigenous, an indigenous person.

33:28.79
J. Aundrea
Yes.

33:35.99
J. Aundrea
Now.

33:42.83
Bruce Anthony
And say you know slave roots worse than anything never happening all. It's absolutely ridiculous like I would not do that it all really bad. All of it is bad would not not not it Well I mean if you if you listen to.

33:44.90
J. Aundrea
Um, no yeah, it's none of it's great.

33:58.62
Bruce Anthony
Politicians down in Florida you know there were some benefits to ah for black folks in slavery. No no, that's no, that's not no, but that's not what they say I know that's not being that's not we're being taught.

34:02.79
J. Aundrea
They were already Agrarian people. That's why you had them come over here because they already knew how to farm. The hell y'all didn't teach us nothing.

34:18.30
Bruce Anthony
The Ah um, they did teach us christianity which I don't know if that was good or bad thing I mean I Love the Lord I Just their version of christianity is a little bit different. You got anything to add on.

34:25.44
J. Aundrea
Ah, okay, yes, yes.

34:35.80
Bruce Anthony
About this I got feeling lazer gentlemen this's gonna be a short show because I told my sister early today I was like I don't know what we're gonna talk about I found some stuff I found some stuff but I'll be real honest with yeah.

34:41.17

I don't think we ever wanted to be in it and the statement from the state department that the Us is committed to promoting tolerance inclusion justice and dignity what when.

36:11.25
Bruce Anthony
Well I will say this for all the red states that are writing this legislation that is Anti-trans All the blue states have responded by protecting access to care so there is a fight between the red and the blue of.

39:15.94
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, alright.

39:29.77
J. Aundrea
That we were moving to DC and she said oh honey you can't live in DC you can live around DC but she had no idea that you could live. This is my teacher.

39:35.39
Bruce Anthony
The yeah well and you was in the gifted program now this no no, you was using the regular middles. No when when do we move? you know what? no.

39:45.24
J. Aundrea
No I was still an honor I was still in honors classes and this was and it wasn't like it was like a kindergarten teacher or something was like I was in seventh grade as she didn't know you could live in DC I'll never forget that? yeah.

39:55.29
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, yeah, know for for people listening to the show. Just let you know that people live actually in the city limits of Dc there's homes and apartment buildings and all types of stuff. It's like it's a there. Yeah, it's it's.

40:20.99
J. Aundrea
Yes.

40:30.32
J. Aundrea
Is you can definitely. But the way she is so condescending oh honey you can't live in DC all right and I just shrugged because I don't know I'd never been I didn't know.

40:31.75
Bruce Anthony
So it's real close. Yeah.

40:43.50
Bruce Anthony
Man you didn't know you was 12 Well maybe she was high and speaking of high we talk about marijuana next.

40:56.44
J. Aundrea
Ah, kind of segue.

40:59.14
Bruce Anthony
All right? Jay first of all I think that was a good segue. You said what kind of seggue. It was a good seggue that teacher obviously was high well you know, just sometimes you just got create a seggue like I can't it can't be our next segment next but that the next segment is next.

41:04.52
J. Aundrea
That was a crazy segue.

41:15.80
J. Aundrea
You gotta work away. You gotta work what you got I got it.

41:18.39
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you got work with what you got all right? the department of health and humans services the HHs has sent its findings on marijuana to the d a the drug enforcement agency as part of Biden's administration's effort to possibly alter marijuana status in the Usa. Ah.

41:29.67
J. Aundrea
Um.

41:36.82
Bruce Anthony
Now you everybody may be thinking like why would you need to alter marijuana status in and and the Usa because it's technically scheduled as a schedule one drug. Ah do you guys want me to tell you what a schedule OneDrug is schedule one drugs.

41:51.56
J. Aundrea
Um, yes oh was average miracle. Okay sorry.

41:56.10
Bruce Anthony
Are heroin. Yeah yeah I mean it was rhetorical. It's a heroin. It's um, all the hard stuff. Ah.

42:04.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah, basically anything that has 0 medicinal value and is highly addictive. Yes, which is.

42:09.82
Bruce Anthony
What they say has 0 medicinal value and highly addictive. That's the key and they put marijuana in that classification. There's a whole history of why marijuana is in that classification and and I'll get to it I'll get to it in a minute but I just want to talk about the fact that oh.

42:22.91
J. Aundrea
Absolutely ridiculous. Okay.

42:28.56
Bruce Anthony
Oh crazy Joe I call him crazy Joe because it because they used call him Batman because they used to call him Batman but not to call him crazy Joe I just flip it from lean on me. That's all I don't know you know I slick Willie Smooth W Cool Barack

42:30.42
J. Aundrea
I don't know why I call him billion dollar Joe I got it I got it I got it now. It makes sense now. Yeah.

42:47.12
Bruce Anthony
Crazy Joe that's you know because he look he he looked like somebody crazy uncle you and you never know what he gonna say.

42:49.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah, no I I I always call him billion Dollar Joe I don't know why I think it's a smile. No, but he's got a billion dollar smile and ah yes and he just looks cool.

42:57.40
Bruce Anthony
I don't think I don't think you got a billion dollars though. Okay, it's when he's wearing them aviator shades. Yeah yeah, he'd just be looking cool. They like like a crazy uncle. Ah so back to the we so Joe.

43:09.42
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

43:13.20
Bruce Anthony
Basically like man we need to move like this has been ridiculous for a long time. You have this drug inaccurate. What do you mean.

43:17.72
J. Aundrea
Um, and inaccurate I mean it does have medicinal value and it is not highly addictive. Yeah.

43:25.27
Bruce Anthony
Well once again, then we'll get into the history of marijuana in um, in a minute. Um, but but especially now consider and the fact that medical marijuana is prevalent and currently 23 states and Dc. Yeah, that's right washington d c. Have enacted laws regulating the non-medical use of marijuana for adults 23 states and Dc say you could just spark up and I love it because it well I love it and hate it because I walk the streets in Dc and it does smell like marijuana just open air marijuana smoke. Um.

43:44.65
J. Aundrea
Um.

43:51.50
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.

43:59.44
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, as it should right.

44:03.32
Bruce Anthony
And well you know like I said when you're not smoking marijuana the smell is not good when you smoke marijuana because I smoke marijuana when we're good friend Friday night and we got high as a george pie and and watched how I met your mother we were supposed to watch um wet hot summer or something like that is some crazy.

44:15.63
J. Aundrea
Um.

44:21.44
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

44:22.71
Bruce Anthony
Funny movie but we ended up watching how I met your mother because I was like we ain't never gonna watch this movie anyway. So we just got high and it it's fun getting high high take your stress away. Marijuana's goods from the earth.

44:29.28
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, now we now we don't know what their recommendation is correct.

44:38.73
Bruce Anthony
Yes, we do they they want to schedule as a class three a schedule 3 drug according to the hhletter attained by Bloomberg the the agency recommended reclassifying marijuana as a schedule 3 drug a substance consider considered to have moderate to low potential for physical and physiological dependence. So I I think I agree with that because I do know people who are addicted to weed when when you smoke day and night that's an addiction now.

45:02.63
J. Aundrea
I Don't think that an addiction forms I.

45:15.29
Bruce Anthony
That addiction may come because they just want to be high in addiction like alcohol. It may just come because they don't want to deal with whatever issues that they have because it does reduce anxiety and stress and depression and all that ah different stuff so dependency on not having to deal with their real life in that regard.

45:25.22
J. Aundrea
Right.

45:33.27
Bruce Anthony
But it's not like if somebody if I hand somebody a joint that all of a sudden they're gonna be addicted to marijuana for smoking at the very first time so that that they're recommending it according to bloomberg to be moved from a schedule 1 which got all the crazy strong stuff to.

45:39.71
J. Aundrea
Now now.

45:52.13
Bruce Anthony
Ah, schedule 3

45:53.90
J. Aundrea
Right.

45:55.67
Bruce Anthony
Are you ain't got Jay you ain't talking that much today I've been talking this is I'm gonna look at the transcript on this episode and it's gonna be 85% me talking I mean you contributed you could you know what you contributing this much for.

46:04.72

46:19.52
J. Aundrea
Not just do it man man. Oh yeah, ah man.

46:31.45
Bruce Anthony
It was made I don't ah over thirty years ago and all his all that stuff still hilarious today all right? So the history of marijuana says my sisters don't have too much say today. The history of marijuana. Ah, yeah.

46:36.60
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

46:45.34
J. Aundrea
I Thought that was next you had you had promised me some history and I was waiting for it and I thought that was next I didn't know that I needed to. Okay.

46:49.81
Bruce Anthony
Um, ah it is next. Okay, all right the history of marijuana prohibition in the United States has deep roots and racism.

47:02.74
J. Aundrea
What's the history.

47:08.53
Bruce Anthony
And xenophobia ah why xenophobia well the majority in the early twentieth century. Um, the laws were originally used to target latinos and black jazz musicians. So latino people from Mexico mexicans were bringing.

47:11.31
J. Aundrea
Ah, ah.

47:28.35
Bruce Anthony
Weed because we was like was legal at this time we're bringing weed into the states and showing hey you know you can smoke this if you put some papers on her and put it in a pipe and they give you that good good feeling. Ah and this all happened after the Mexican revolution and.

47:28.48
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

47:41.86
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, now that's 2 goods. Good good. Okay.

47:47.32
Bruce Anthony
That's too good good good this all happened because of the maximum revolution and and 1910 when many of the mexicans began moving into the United States and like I said they brought a tradition with them of smoking marijuana the explicit racist roots of cans but cannabis policy that United States are explored in a detail book. Marijuana a short history. It highlights. How highlights how politicians across the political divide spent much of the twentieth century using marijuana as a means divide in the country. Um, specifically there was a gentleman called cut it was in my notes but I got rid of the notes.

48:26.40
Bruce Anthony
Ah, oh there was a politician what was a politician's name. What was a politician's name I don't know either I didn't messed up my notes ladies and gentlemen I didn't screwed up my notes and there was a there was a there was a politician back in the day in the in the 1920 s

48:30.61
J. Aundrea
I Don't know.

48:45.50
Bruce Anthony
Basically it was like look it's latino people and black jazz musicians that are smoking this wheat and they call it the reefer craze and what they were really really scared of and this has been documented if you Google search if I had his name because I had it my notes and accidentally deleted it.

48:46.10
J. Aundrea
Um.

48:53.50
J. Aundrea
Um.

49:02.89
Bruce Anthony
But if I had his name you could look it up in 1920 s he was ahead of the ah it was called like drug it was in my notes but then the notes is gone but whatever we hear now. Um, he said that we have to maintain.

49:03.84
J. Aundrea
And.

49:21.96
Bruce Anthony
And contain the spread of Marijuana use between Latinos and blacks because a lot of white people were starting to go to jazz clubs and what they were really really afraid of as always protecting white women. They were scared that black male jazz musicians.

49:31.46
J. Aundrea
Oh.

49:41.93
Bruce Anthony
We're going to hypnotize these white women into having sex with them and crazy sex acts and ah corrupt their minds and things of that nature that is the reason why Marijuana that's one of the reasons why Marijuana became illegal and one of the reasons why it became ah a scheduled one.

49:45.70
J. Aundrea
Oh boy.

49:58.61
Bruce Anthony
Drug despite the fact like heroin and cocaine and methampheammines and things of that nature ecstasy ecstasy is one of the schedule one drugs as well. These drugs are a little bit more dangerous than Marijuana even though we were taught that Marijuana was a gateway drug.

50:03.76
J. Aundrea
Ah.

50:14.60
J. Aundrea
Right.

50:17.52
Bruce Anthony
And let me just explain to y'all I Just smoked a lot of Marijuana in my life and it has never led me to any hard drugs right? It has never been a time I was like I hit I hit a blunt or I hit a joint and I was like you know we'd be real good right now to do a bumper cocaine.

50:20.69
J. Aundrea
In a no it a I So led me to the fridge.

50:35.81
Bruce Anthony
Or to shoot up some a heroine I've never said that to myself I said I said you know we'll be really good right now some Doritos well knew I didn't know about munchies at the time I'm talking when when I first started smoking but right now it is absolutely munch is um.

50:36.60
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, it never never you know would be really good. Some munchies.

50:51.93
J. Aundrea
Ah, yes.

50:55.51
Bruce Anthony
And and what's crazy is despite the fact that the usage rates for marijuana between whites and non-whites is basically the same black americans have been arrested for marijuana offenses at a rate of nearly four to 1 compared to whites if you want to also real.

51:04.57
J. Aundrea
My name.

51:13.58
Bruce Anthony
Recognize how racist the drug laws here in this country. Go no further than a college paper or wrote English year I wrote a paper called the inequality of drug laws. It was basically detailing how powder cocaine and crack cocaine gave you different sentences. It was 5 to 1 You could have 5 to one amount of powder cocaine to the one crack cocaine and you would get the same amount of time in prison and I was always like why is crack being punished harher harsher than cocaine. When you can't have crack without cocaine but you could definitely have cocaine without crack like shouldn't you punish the major source before you punish. But no, it's because the addicts and the people that were dealing with crack were minorities. So.

51:49.92
J. Aundrea
I'm gonna.

51:53.82
J. Aundrea
Right? Nothing yes.

52:06.65
Bruce Anthony
That's way you populate the Jail system but that's the the legal history of Marijuana and drugs. Yep, people are poor and and and then people of color and poor people. That's that's what you want to do to populate the prison systems because the prison systems are a private institution now.

52:08.77
J. Aundrea
With with with people of color and with poor people. Yes.

52:23.96
J. Aundrea
so so I think I really hope that the dea takes the recommendation from the HHHs to

52:24.87
Bruce Anthony
That generates money.

52:40.22
J. Aundrea
Take it down to a schedule of 3 because I think that might open the door for more states to allow it for recreational use.

52:48.52
Bruce Anthony
Some some some people are stuck in their ways I have a friend of mine. She's sixty years old damn it today was her retirement party and I forgot to I forgot to stream it to watch it I need to call and I need to contact her because I need to see her tomorrow. Ah.

53:01.72
J. Aundrea
Well if you were going to lie about it. You can't now. Okay.

53:05.68
Bruce Anthony
I don't think she listens to the show if she did she would. She's she's got some conservative views and so I pretty much could guess that if she turned on the episode. 1 time she's like I can't want listen to this shit because perhaps she she's a friend but you know we disagree on a lot of.

53:17.89
J. Aundrea
Oh.

53:25.67
Bruce Anthony
Policies and things of that nature. Um, but she's like adamant against you know Marijuana does this and that I was like have you ever smoked it? no because I want to keep my brain I was like well I feel like I'm pretty intelligent and I've smoked a lot of Marijuana so I mean does it kill brain cells. Yeah, but so does alcohol.

53:26.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

53:35.11
J. Aundrea
That's.

53:39.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, any little there you little knock up, sad your head.

53:42.51
Bruce Anthony
So there's too many shots to the head car accidents can kill brain cells whip blash kills brain cells. Yes, anything so you know you have anything else say look I just feel like I careing this damn I careing this damn episode today. Oh my goodness just ladies and gentlemen y'all tell me.
