Welcome to the tweet trends podcast. Hey, what's trending today? Hey, I mean, hey girl, and you are tuned in to try It's the quickest way to find out what's trending today Dear God bless America Let's get started And we are back. Let me start by apologizing to you at the end of my last episode I had Georgia on my mind so bad that I thought it was Thursday and pretty much told y'all see y'all till next week And then when I woke up this morning, I'm like wait a minute today's Thursday Yeah, it did not hit me until today and then on top of that because of all of the shenanigans yesterday I don't know how I let today get away from you Like I am literally super late in creating this episode and I apologize for those of you that tell time by when my episodes launch my apologies guys I did not mean to throw your day off the way my day has been thrown off but there has been a lot to digest in the past 24 48 hours and And it's heartbreaking.
It's upsetting. It's disturbing and you know, I am not political Pollyanna I don't like jumping in those rings in those circles. None of that I don't like to go there, but sometimes people just make you go there and the situation with Occupy DC That has pushed me it showed me right into the center of it and it's because I've been experiencing a series of emotions in regards to it and the fact that this is history right before our eyes happening that like this is amazing to me I've never seen anything like this before I'm used to like back in the day I remember when I was a kid my parents watched the news all of the time and you would go on the news and They would have the local news. They would have around the country news and then when they would go to the world news There would be all sorts of crazy shenanigans going on in these different countries you would have pictures of leaders being burnt and Statues getting pushed over and all sorts of crazy things and you're just like man What is going on in that country and why can't they get it together?
And what was I saying yesterday? What is wrong with our country and why can't we get this together? seriously, so we have a little here at our house she's seven years old and I was Complicated about her watching what was unveiling on television Just because I didn't know what was about to happen And then you know for a while it was good and then we started hearing about people that had died in all of this melee And my husband I always I make jokes with him I call him a wordsmith because words mean a lot to him You have to use the perfect word to explain something. Sorry honey.
I'm not trying to throw you under the bus I'm just saying when it comes to talking to you I like to choose my words well because I know that whatever words I use that is what you're taking in and How you're processing the story or the situation? So as I'm listening to the various broadcasters talk about what is happening. I began to get angry Not not just concerned or upset. I was angry because of their word choice I was angry that they were calling these people protesters where you know and granted they didn't call them peaceful protesters So I appreciate that but these people actually got into the building they Basically the whole Tasmanian devil type thing with some of these offices and areas that they went in Spinning up turning up everything dumping things out just melee chaos mayhem all over the place and They're finding pipe bombs in places people are there and they are armed and in my opinion dangerous because you don't bring a gun To the fight if you're not considering the fact that you just might have to shoot somebody You know so if you're not thinking about the idea that you might have to use that gun and you don't need that gun you don't bring it with you and so but the fact that they that these people were able to infiltrate buildings and offices and Cause the type of destruction that they did.
I was hurt to my core and it made me mad because I think back to the summer time Where you had peaceful protests and marches where the National Guard and various other groups were brought out called out to Basically almost instigate issues with a peaceful group now when the looters were out there You had people talking cash money trash like oh these hooligans and hoodlums and thugs and everything But I didn't hear any of the people yesterday being called any of those names and just because they were not breaking into businesses and burning them I don't see where there is a difference if you are vandalizing somebody else's property Where there's breaking a glass or turning the place upside down you have vandalized a location and you deserve to be talked about Intreated the way that that that is deemed fit for that type of activity But that's not the case so many times I heard reporters saying how did they how were they able to infiltrate so easily and I think back to the fact that you know for some strange reason Caucasian people are not a threat and because of that They're not viewed as a threat so they can walk into places and not you know not get a second and third look you know They don't get the follow around in the stores like what we do you know, I'm a school teacher I'm not trying to rob no place to to cause myself to lose my job and my family to have to suffer No, but when I go into an establishment, they don't know me. They don't know anything about me They don't know I'm a cheer coach. They don't know a single thing other than the fact that her skin is brown Keep an eye on it cuz she might try to steal something But if you are non-melinated You can go in there and act a straight donkey and then people overlook that that hurt me to my core I Got a little off track there. I initially started talking about the fact that I was concerned about my daughter watching all of the mayhem on television and Honestly, you know, I don't give children Enough credit they are bright.
They understand things. They know right from wrong and we had a conversation about it She brought it up herself and she was actually disappointed when she was hearing the reports saying that the president the president Trump Had not stepped forward to say anything about it. She was actually confused. I mean I thought he wasn't the president anymore And I'm like well technically he's not I mean he's finishing up He's still the president but give it about two weeks and and he'll be done and so but she did have very Provoking questions and I can appreciate that So, you know, I felt bad that initially I wanted to protect her from that I wanted to shield her from it and it actually turned out to be a good a good opportunity for a teachable moment now the other part that Were saying, you know, this is the time for Mike Pence to step up and invoke the 25th Amendment basically to declare that 45 is incompetent and unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office and I laughed at that out loud It was a hearty hard hard because I'm like, you know, he's not gonna do that I don't see that happening for the simple fact that these people descended on DC the way that they did Mike Pence would be out of his mind to now decide to speak up and say something after having supported this man in office all this time Because what I would see then happening to him is that 45 would turn on Mike Pence and next thing You know, there would be people in his yard Telling him about himself and threatening him and his family and his loved ones and I'm so sure that he's looking at this He's probably doing the whole old school cartoon jail thing He's probably putting the X's in the boxes on the calendar counting down the days to the end of this administration So he can be like, oh, what did I get myself into and let me try to somehow save my legacy?
Now speaking of 45 the fact that he would instigate this type of stuff Him Giuliani all of these other nut jobs out there in my apologies for calling them nut jobs I should not really I shouldn't call names bad. I shouldn't call names all of these people, you know Let's add Lindsey Graham to the list and oh, what's his name? What's his name? What's his name?
Oh, I can't even say right now But him too, he knows what I'm talking about Add them to the list because now all of a sudden, you know Lindsey Graham He was like, oh really you can't be serious Are you now trying to like flip over to the other side to be like stop all of this y'all stupid? No, and don't work like that Lindsey because you should have been saying something a long time ago To me this resembles a situation where you have parents and a child and they spare the rod What happened they spoiled a dog on child? 45 is running around here like a child having a tantrum. He's mad because he didn't win the election He's running around lying to people saying that he won and everybody knows that he won and All of this lies and propaganda that he is pumping out there into the atmosphere people are eating this stuff up They are loving this and I don't know if it's that whole reality show type mentality that has people like stumping for him Like oh, yeah, did you see what happened?
Oh, we gonna go out there and we are gonna show up and show out today because everybody needs to understand his son Was it was either a son or a son-in-law was like it to me? It was a threat. It was like weird. We're watching you guys You know talking about the Republicans like we're gonna see what side y'all decide to stand on really?
Is that how we do politics now? Okay, that was today's episode and for somebody who doesn't do politics. I could probably talk for Probably another day or two about just what happened between yesterday and today all by itself, you know But you know just like how they say that 40 is a new 30 Well politics is the new reality show and 45 is the star of it and he's trying to take us all the hell in a handbasket Unfortunately for this episode of his show because it's his show. He's the ringleader He is the man in the spotlight Everybody's looking to him for direction and he is doing all the wrong things at the wrong times So here's what I say to you guys.
I love you Please please take care of yourselves because I feel like it's only gonna get worse before it gets better He's only got a little bit of time left in office and I cannot imagine what types of schemes He's got up his sleeve to try to further destroy our democracy So please by all means don't get into any altercations with people that think what they are seeing out there in these streets If they think that that's good, you know what? God bless you say a prayer form and keep it moving because people that think that this makes sense in my personal opinion They are lacking some sense common sense a reasonable sense that they're lacking something So like I said guys be safe be smart Be aware of your surroundings and what is happening? Because I want to be able to chat with you again this coming week on Tuesday. All right.
I love you and there's no Nothing you can do about it. All I'm gonna say here is God bless America
