I, you know, like, what was that kind of process like?

Yeah, well, so I had initially seen, you know, some rambling postings online about what was going on.

And my first instinct was like, stay far away.

Don't say a single thing, stay far away.

So that was my plan.

And then seeing more and more, and I think seeing also some of the negative responses and the negative comments from people saying, you know, you guys are lying or, you know, this is a coordinated hit job.

Or in one case, they were telling one of the women, She was connected to an opposing campaign.

Do you have hope? Do you see hope? Like, I mean, what is it like? What do you, what's your view?

Waffle House, like dapping people up.

Yeah.

He's like, yeah, like, um, really like hosting a party at Waffle House or something.

I'm like really frustrated that that same guy didn't show up at the debate.

But I think continuing to do that, to show that side of Joe Biden, show the like funny guy that owns his quirks and owns the stutter and everything will really help.

And then reminding people again, like you said, that we're voting for ideals.

We're voting for a party.

And I just, I worry that there is this sense of inevitability that is dangerous for Democrats.

How do you think that this rhetoric affects public perception of the transgender community, especially young transgender people just trying to find their place in society?

Right.

Yep, they're demonizing them.

They're creating this group of people, saying: "We don't understand your lifestyle, or your, or your feelings or choices, 'cause, you know, we don't feel the same way you do, and so we, like, yeah, we're going to demonize you because we don't understand you.

Like, you don't have a place in society." Their current outlook is that trans people do not exist.

They're mentally ill, or they've made it up in their head, um, and that they shouldn't be allowed to do certain things.

They shouldn't be allowed to join the military because it's a mental illness.

Or let me ask you this, do you think that it's effective in deterring this illegal immigration, or do you think that it just perpetuates a toxic narrative about migrants?

From, from an international law perspective, how destabilizing is it when, I don't know, the country that once was the beacon on the top of the hill, that enforced sovereignty openly, they go ahead and then they abandon it?

Yeah, I mean, that is, that is the Republican Party.

I mean, from day one, not day one, because they've had a lot of experience in the past trying to force regime changes and things of that nature.

But, um, from day one of, of the MAGA movement, of Donald Trump, they've said that it's America first, right? Um, and we're not going to get involved in foreign affairs.

We're not gonna even support our allies.

We're not going to fund Ukraine.

We're not going to stand up to Israel.

The danger I see is that Ukraine will become collateral damage to Trump's obsession with spectacle over strategy.

What did, in your opinion, what's the legal and the constitutional implications here?

Yeah.

I mean, I think constitutionally it's abhorrent.

Um, it goes against everything that we stand for which is the right to protest, right to free speech, um, and I think it's also he's going against the own governor of the State of California which typically they work in conjunction to determine when, you know, federal, uh, law enforcement or, um, the National Guard is needed to come in and he's overriding that and, um, not only does that not help the situation, it makes it worse because it's, um, it, it, you know, it agitates the crowd when you come in with tear gas and with rubber bullets and you're arresting people and you're being physically violent, um, people might be terrified.

I would be terrified.

Um, and so, yeah, I think there's gonna be a lot of issues.

There's gonna be a lot of, um, lawsuits, court cases afterwards of people who have been unlawfully detained, um, or unlawfully deported, and we already saw that they have deported people who should not be deported, like, um, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I'm just lost.

just it's an impossibility you know on top of that during his address yesterday trump took direct aim at transgender rights particularly in the context of sports how do you think that this rhetoric affects public perception of the transgender community especially young transgender people just trying to find their place in society.

Right.

Yeah.

They were demonizing them.

They're creating this group of people saying, we don't understand your lifestyle or your feelings or choices because we don't feel the same way you do.

And so we're going to demonize you because we don't understand you.

You don't have a place in society.

Go there now.
