You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. That damn white boy Ron is a punk ass sellout. You're a dancer, you'll never ever get away from being a sellout. You try to move too far to the right, try to make Trump unelectable. The only way you ever wanted is because Trump helped you, and not only did he help you, we came out there and helped you, sorry ass. Now you got the nerve to be a kid's Trump,

Racist rhinos and who's that Mitch McCommer? Bush Romney Not right now Romney all of them boys all young John McCain all of you where he died But he's still a racist vinyl You understand what I'm saying? You all think you're gonna get away with this you're not gonna get away with this here because black's for Trump is here That's right. That's right. Daniel

Anointed Cyrus and we're going to know Trump as Cyrus to run wipe out all of the demon crack Confederate rebels That's right and all of the racistists, Rhino Republicans who are all bastards from hell and slave masters. You know who you equal, Rhino, you equal Dathan. Dathan was governor in Egypt who tried to talk us back into going back to Egypt so we can get some of the flesh pots for free and slavery. That's what you are. You the God damn governor.

The governor who's trying to get us to go back to the God damn Rhinocry public. Well it's official. Ron DeSantis. Well, it's official. Rhonda Santas. Is officially in the race, as if we haven't known that this entire time when he's been on a taxpayer-financed book tour around the country, basically running for president, all the while denying that he's running for president without being able to control his bobblehead. But this week, right here in Miami, no less, Rhonda Santis finally did what he's promised to do, which is bring people together across the aisle, people from the left,

people from the right, turned out in front of the four seasons. This is the hotel, not four seasons gardening in Halea, by the way. The four seasons hotel in Brickle and downtown Miami, And you had protesters out on the street from the Maga right, all the way to the left. And they were pissed, as you can see, from that clip right there of Maurice Seminette, aka Michael the Black man, aka Maurice Woodside, aka Michael Seminette, aka Michael Israel. Michael the Black man.

Michael the Black man, he is the founder of BlacksforTrump.com and he's the host of the Michael the Black man show here on local radio and he is also a bit of a legendary because Miami figure, which I'll tell you about in just a moment, but we have joining us live in studio, Tomas Kennedy, who was basically our correspondent out there on the street, interviewing the likes of Marie Simanette, Laura Lumer, the

luminaries of the right. We get a lot of complaints from us that we don't have enough conservative voices or Republican perspectives on this program. So who you are? You are Dr. Bings. You bring the right and left together. Branded a leftist agitator by the band from disantis events right where you arrested at a disantis event what been detained and surveilled by the floor the department of law enforcement but

you know what we'll kind of got along uh... you know in the and the left right spectrum we were united you were just arrested outside of the governor's office in telehasse a couple weeks ago inside i'm sorry inside the governor's office you've been banned from attending governor to santa's events but this week was a different story and so what was the atmosphere like out there because you had people very much like tied into the the democratic party out there

but then you had like like mago republicans out there talk to me yeah so I would say the the majority of the crowd were people in the left spectrum, right? And I think, you know, there were people that ranged from, you know, like the liberal, traditional democratic, you know, voter all the way into, you know, more activist types, people with anarchist leanings. So there was a wide range of ideological spectrums. There was a There was a wide range of ideological spectrums. There was a truck paid for by the Democratic National Committee, and there was a truck paid for by the mega-war room PAC. They were competing billboard trucks that we love a lot out there.

The billboard trucks. Of course, there were some right-wing luminaries, some right-wing all-start, some right-wing heavyweights out there as well all To send a very clear message that we fucking hate me ball. We did not you god damn right me ball So I think we need to hear some more of your interview With Marie Seminette Michael the black man. He has some very serious concerns about Rhonda Santis Yes, it does because he was apparently Michael the Black man. He has some very serious concerns about Rhonda Santas. Yes he does. Because he was apparently a member.

This is according to Michael the Black man. Rhonda Santas was a member of the Cannibal Kidnapping Murdering Club. The, the, the boys. Yeah. At Yale University. So very serious allegations being made out here on the streets of Miami. It can confirm Northern. Why are you here?

Why are you from the years that? Processing is Ron DeSantis, who has sold Trump out and sold out black people out. That's right. We help the boy. That's right. And then after we help the boy, this is how he repays us. Why why did he repays like that because he went to Yale University.

He's a part of the skull and bones who are the cannibal kidnapping murder part of the skull and bones who are the countable kidnapped and murderers of black, Latin, and white people, especially our women. So what I'm here to do is let everybody know that Ron DeSantis, he's trying to be slink and help. He's doing the same thing that the Rupert Murdoch did. He fell on the sword deliberately and didn't got rid of Tucker Constan so that he could not defend Trump on Fox News.

And he got rid of him deliberately trying to discredit Trump and his claim of cheating and fraud in the damn elections. So guess what? I'm here to write that wrong to make the crooked things straight. Right. To make the rough places smooth for Isaiah 45 or Trump 45. That's right. That's what I'm doing right now in your face. That's right.

And I don't give a damn how you feel. That's right. Plus, if you don't like what I'm talking about, I hate to damn guts anyway. I hate you. I'm not even praying with you boy. I'm here to take it from your punk ass. I feel like now would be a good time to tell everyone who Marie Seminette, aka Michael the Black man, is.

So he was a member, a prominent member of the nation of Yahweh back in the 1980s, which was started by a man who came from the nation of Islam, Hulan Mitchell Jr., he renamed himself Yahweh Ben Yahweh, God, son of God, and he started what was known as the Temple of Love, here in Miami. Roy, do you remember, I feel like you have something you wanna say.

I don't know, I'm just thinking of, I don't know why I'm thinking of Kyrie over and for some reason, I don't know, but now. Well, for a very good reason, because the message of Yahweh, Ben Yahweh, was that black people were the original Israelites, were the true chosen people of God, built the pyramids, and it was effectively a black supremacy movement in a time, though, when the black community in Miami was forced into third class citizenship here in Miami. And Egypt does come up in my interview with him with some historical references. Or is it does more than a few biblical references he makes in this interview.

And Yahweh Ben Yahweh brought a great deal of hope he was with the first black owner of a South Beach hotel. In the 1980s he started to buy properties and refurbish them in Mime's inner cities and overtown and Liberty City around South Florida. And then in 1990, he was honored by then mayor Xavier Suarez, the father of now mayor Francis Suarez, with Yahweh Ben Yahweh day. And months later, Yahweh Ben Yahweh in about a dozen of his disciples, including Marie Simonette,

were indicted on federal racketeering charges, extortion, and murder conspiracy, of about 14 homicides and several other attempted murders. Robert Rosier, a former NFL player, drafted in the ninth round in 1979 by the St. Louis Cardinals actually flipped on the group.

And he said he was part of an elite squad of like angels warriors for Yahweh, Binyawi. That would have to go out. And when people would not sell property to Yahweh, Binyawi, they would fire bomb their buildings. He would allege. And they would have to show their loyalty to Yahweh, bring back the ear or the head of a white man. And so I should say Marie Seminet was acquitted of those charges and now has become a fixture since 2015, 2016, standing directly behind Donald Trump at all of his biggest

national rallies wearing that white t-shirt with the black letters. This is blacksfordTr trump dot com holding up a sign And he is a devout follower of Donald Trump and he has some interesting political analysis About how long Ron DeSantis will stay in this primary race and of course Why Bush and Romney at all are the beast and the bastards of hell serving Satan, the Rhino racists. You don't have those 40-40 heads. The 20 heads was up. I was for him for governor. He could have ran the next town.

But now you're trying to take it from Trump? You don't have those for governor. When do you think Ron drops out? How long do you give him? I give him, he started on drop down. He was a 10-9. He was running down like 18 percent of the people. I give him he started all drugs The people that like them are all rhino People point themselves out black and like you bush

Like you Romney all you point yourself out you just point out that you are the beast You are the best in a pair, you are the devil, you're certain Satan and the dragon. And you have pointed it out, that you don't want our people free. You want us to go back to things slavery, things that were the governor of Egypt, we tried to get everybody to go back to these best, but that ain't going to happen, baby, bubble. Baby, bubble to the baby, the bang, bang, the boogie. Tomas, what's the overall message out there from folks specifically on the right who

are protesting at this event about Rhonda Santas versus Donald Trump? It was a little over the place. One message from Michael was that the convoluted theory that the dominion lawsuit was a ploy to get Tucker Carlson off the air so that Fox News doesn't have pro Trump voices. A lot of talk about, you know, he being part of a coval of satanic rhino racists that dominate the republican party i talked with lower loomers as well who you know said that this was a bloomberg jeff bush style campaign

of revenge of the nerd uh... donors that were just angry about getting burnt by donald trump and you know she means like head crews people and like jeff bush people is that what she means and booger yeah that they're basically the the losers uh... that are bitter as you talked about, you know, she said it not me that Ron DeSantis being on the spectrum and being socially awkward and just not being able to interact with voters, which is quite frankly, we have seen that innumerous clips of his innocent little book tour across Iowa and New Hampshire.

So you know, yeah, it was all over the place, but they were definitely angry and don't like them. And we'll hear from Laura Lumer coming up, but there really is a sense that Magra Publicans might not even support Rhonda Santis if he is the nominee. I mean, Michael said it. I'm running as an independent. If Ron DeSantis is the number one. Oh yes. Oh yeah, you're a little bit of a spoiler alert. Coming up, we're gonna find out what the strategy is

from a recent at AKA Michael the Black man in the event that Ron DeSantis does when the primary, this is a strategy. He is a man with a plan. And he has Lumer on his side who also said that she will not vote for Ron DeSantis, you know, no matter what. They feel betrayed. Feel betrayed.

They feel like Rondesantis is smacking the hand that feeds him. Yeah, and they just, honestly, they think the guy's beta. Like, they just feel he's a loser and, yeah, is it the high heel shoes? Is it the eating the chocolate pudding with three fingers? Is it, I think, a combination of everything. You got them right, meatball. ¿Qué es la combinación de todo esto? ¡No te da la pena, mi amor! pero lo más aterrador es no saber en qué confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis, si queréis seguir convido. proven leader. Donald Trump is the best president of my lifetime and he is the embodiment of what it means to be an America first, a principled conservative leader. Okay, Roger Santos himself has admitted that he wouldn't be

governor of Florida if it weren't for president Trump and he really spent his entire first term and his campaign in 2018 pretending to be a mini Donald Trump. But as we've seen from Lee to Bay Prep videos, right, he actually admits that he's been playing the base. He voted against Trump's policies when he was a member of Congress. And he's just been putting on a show so that he can climb the political ladder and then ultimately run a presidential campaign.

So I think that you're gonna see the mega base which you need in order to win the GOP primary. They're not going to take too kindly to this. I see his full numbers are dwindling today. President Trump is our skyrocketing. That was Laura Lumer out on the streets of Miami on Wednesday of this week at Rhonda Santos' kickoff at the luxurious and closed to the public on this day, four seasons hotel in Brickle. Tomas Kennedy was out there on the streets as the because Miami correspondent who was Laura Loomer?

Laura Loomer is a, she calls herself an investigative journalist uh... she's known as uh... right-wing activists agitator made headlines for battling muslim uber drivers uh... a bit of some public uh... chain going to uh... the twitter headquarters and chaining herself prior to the elan musk uh... regime

yeah and of course you ran for congress yes you were in the state of war for that kind of shit changing herself prior to the Elon Musk regime. Yeah, doing this. And of course, she ran for Congress. Yeah, she ran for Congress. We were in the state of Florida, but that kind of shit didn't go far. Go and get rid of that. Yeah, I think she assessed that it was because of a stop to steal sort of scheme against her.

Oh, is that what happened? I believe so. So, Laura Lumer is a Loura Lumernery on the MAGA right of the Republican Party. And she has a real issue here with this elitist event happening at the Four Seasons Hotel. She made some good points on us. This is what I'm saying. DeSantis is bringing people together. You know, out of pure spite.

This is not what a man of the people does. The Four Seasons. And I'm documenting this, I purchased a room, I'm staying here at the four seasons. It has $600 a night to stay here. It's not like this is some kind of event that anybody can attend. I heard today that he has canceled his events in Dunedin, where he was born. So he doesn't want to have some local grassroots kickoff campaign instead. He just wants to have a closed door,

private events at the 14th in resort in Miami and congested downtown Miami, Brickle Avenue. And that's what he's about. He's elitist. He's bought and paid for by the GOP establishment donor class. And that's why I support President Trump. I will never vote for Ron DeSantis. I don't even care Ron DeSantis is the GOP nominee. I will campaign against him as a die hard America first Republican. She supports the populace that shits on a gold toilet, not on the elitist Yaley,

who is at a $600 a night hotel that she's staying at. I'm so confused. She told me that, apparently she's staying at the four seasons, getting a front row seat to the donor meeting. And this was a luxurious event, was it not? There was like caviar in the lobby. Like caviar display, I mean, you could see it in the video.

I had a high price. And if you've been in there, so you know there was not age appropriate statues in the lobby, if you see those like giant like, could see a little penis. You could see a little penis. Yeah, with a little, a little, a little, a pinka-pakenya, children,

dangl-nod being that hotel. No, absolutely not. According to the Santa's. the four seasons should probably be be banned and canceled based on the criteria of if one parent complains they should ban the four seasons so you talked about lower loomor and her position on the revenge of the nerds here i want to hear it right from the uh... the loomers mouth you have donors here who obviously don't like president trump and you have a lot of these it's kind of like the you know like revenge of the nerds right

everybody that got distr owned by Trump in 2016 especially the Cruz crew has united again around Ronda Sanchez you have the entire Ted Cruz apparatus politically and also like the donor political apparatus as well the Mitt Romney political apparatus, all of the most treacherous rhinos in our country that have worked to undermine the magma movement and have been attacking President Trump since he first came on the political scene as a candidate.

They're all uniting for Ron DeSantis because they view this as their opportunity to get Trump. It's gonna be a repeat of like a Michael Bloomberg style campaign or a jet bush style campaign where you have hundreds of millions of dollars and nearly almost one billion dollars was spent on the Bloomberg campaign. But money doesn't buy you like ability as we've seen. You know, the voters are starting to realize that the Sanstice is on the spectrum.

So he's very awkward and bizarre when he does his in-person events. He bobbles his head. He twitches. He laughs uncontrollably like Hamala Harris and he's not really made out for prime time and you put John Trump and Rhonda Santos on a debate stage together and we're going to see it real quick. There's no competition. I don't know conventional wisdom has it that this is Jeb Bush 2.0 right? This is the cruise crew revisited and that this guy's campaign is over before it started. I mean, especially with the failure to launch on Twitter.

Pathetic. I mean, this week. I mean, pathetic. But the strategy seems to me that he's going to be like waiting in the wings for Trump to get indicted and then indicted again and then indicted and become so unelectable or so toxic that he's there. And the right, I don't know if Laura Lumer Michael the black man will rally but a lot of people will rally behind this guy if he seems to be electable versus Joe Biden. To me he doesn't seem very electable. I mean the guy is a loser look what happened yesterday they can't get even a Twitter space

to work right. I mean this is a man that stood in front of a voter and a New Hampshire diner, the voter introduced himself to him, said his name and he goes like, okay. What the hell is wrong with you? I think it's probably more compelling the fact that he banned abortion. It's one thing for Trump to take credit for the three conservative Supreme Court justices

that overturn Roe v. Wade and then say, okay, this is a state's rights issue, but Rhonda Sand is banned abortion in the state of Florida. I would agree with you in a general election, right? Right. I'm talking about the Republican primary. Oh, okay. I don't think he's getting past the Republican primary.

I don't know, dude. That's conventional wisdom. And conventional wisdom was trumped and have a chance in 2016 that Hillary was going to be the president of the United States. And I don't know. And there's part of me that thinks that Dessantis in many ways would be more damaging to the United States as president than even a second term of Donald Trump would be.

I think they're both terrible, but I would agree with that. But you know, the guy is such a loser to me. He was out saying that he would pardon all of the, all of the January six insurrectionists, including Donald Trump. You're like still cosying up to the guy that's been calling you tiny D and deep state Ron and Meadball like, I'm sorry, like that's super beta and like Republican primary voters are not gonna go for that. But there's a plan here. Marie Seminet has a plan in the event that Ron

DeSantis wins the primer. There's a plan B. I'm sorry plan B is illegal in Florida now like this. I'm gonna run for president myself as an independent and I'm gonna beat the hell out of him. Ron DeSantis and Biden and then I'm gonna make Trump vice president and when they swear me in I'm going to make Trump vice president. And when they swear me in, I'm going to avoid Trump president by resigning and letting him be the president in his rightful position. That's right.

Because when you play basketball and they follow you, they follow you, right? You got to let the man take his shot over again. You don't just follow him and that's just it let a new person take place No, you got foul Trump got foul. They cheated So now you got to give him a chance to do it again Ron you supposed to be with him not a gist and you punk Wonder if I hate your gut. I hate you. That's right. You're the perfect passion.

That's right. You're going to hell, boy, for that. That's right. You just called judgment against you. That's right. Yahweh judges America and you are now judged. That's right. That's a sellout forever.

You can't come back, boy. Don't run for nothing else. I'm going to follow you wherever your punk has got. That's right. That's right that's gonna go inside the hotel you guys are trying to go now that i want to be in the presence

of us is a damn no park as to moss thank you for braving the means to be so brickel uh... this week for us it was about that and wall sing with the enemy out there but what i thought was really interesting and you mentioned it earlier we can have a great with and waltzing with the enemy out there. But what I thought was really interesting and you mentioned it earlier,

we kind of agree with the likes of Laura Lumer and Marie Simonette on a lot of these issues related to DeSantis, no? Key on related to DeSantis. Because beyond that, we don't agree on anything. Okay, fair enough. And before we go, I do wanna get some final thoughts from your interview with Marie Simonette on Ron DeSantis

Keep going keep added keep doing your thing Keep keep preaching You know we want to hear more about Egypt. I want to hear more about the racist rhinos I just go out there at every DeSantis event and dear thing man. You got damn right meatball What do you got a plug? You know you can can follow me at T-O-M-A-S-K-E-N-N. Check out my podcast, why are we like this on Apple Podcasts or the acronym why are we like this world.com?

Thanks for the invite. Thomas is a great follow on Twitter. Breaking the internet, just like Ron DeSantis and Kim Kardashian. Yeah, we're not for my Twitter space. And for you're right. You're all going to use Ron DeSant as. That's right.

You're just that Ron DeSant as crack. That's real. But crack as poor. That's right. Yeah, I'm full of hatred for that white, no good pump. That's right. For the deplorables and truck. That's right.

If you're not for truck, go to God damn hell. That's right. I know. For the deplorables and truck. That's right. If you're not for truck, go to God damn hell. That's right. Pay to the... 786-505-9842 is the number to call for the Because Miami hotline. If you want to talk shit about me, DeSantis, Mayor... Five, eight, most of each other. Joe Biden, anybody really. I don't get this is your...

Because Miami complaint line, it's for your voice. And normally this line is filled with people who say that we need more diversity of opinions on this show. We need more voices from the right, more Republicans on this show. And our Mundo from Haya Lea has a different idea. Oh, you made this a Mundo Leo from Haya Lea. Got a few things to say to you, Mr. Billy Corbin. You know, that guy who's seeing, called in from Washington to say that you are way too liberal.

No, no, no, no, no. You and Dan are not liberal enough, okay? We have a governor who is a white supremacist thing. Gotta be called out. And I know Billy, you've been too busy making yet another cocaine cowboy thing. I mean, come on, like we need another cocaine cow. So maybe you know like a real liberal documentarian. I can actually expose the scientists and expose that he is in fact a white supremacist.

So you know, there needs to be a call out, man. All right? Iran for power. For now, referendum is the day. You make Tony cringe every time you pronounce it, man. I think I'll... I think I'll... Go ahead.

I think I make Tony cringe full stop. But I will say that... No, no, no, no, no, no. I will say, how could we get more liberal on this? I guess Dan could actually dress in drag, right? We could actually do like a drag show at Gramps on Thursday, a double stumble with Carlo Crogeta.

I guess that could make this more liberal. But be heard just like our Mando Leo from Haya Leo, 786, first, 786, 505, 9842. No, no, no, no.

Ha, ha, ha. There were some reporting in your local papers about your job and side job that you hadn't disclosed. Will you release your tax returns if you run for president? Of course. And I have to disclose all the jobs that I have. It really shouldn't matter how many jobs I have, what should matters, how I do my primary job, which is being the mayor of Miami. Nobody criticizes that. I'm also the president of all the mayors in the United States.

Our success story in Miami is very, very incredible. We've lowered taxes to the lowest level in history and grown 12% the second most in recorded history. We have the lowest per capita homicide rate since 1964 and this year we're 40% below that number. And we're number one in the nation and wage growth and number one in unemployment. So I don't know why my local paper is obsessed with how many jobs I do. I think they should be focused on the job of being mayor, which I think I do a great job. Okay. Okay.

This guy, well, I don't know why the local paper is obsessed with doing their job and holding me accountable for my corruption, my unethical misconduct, and my allegedly criminal behavior. This is why he's on the defensive, and he's throwing out this sort of stump speech that we're all gonna have to put up with when this clown and he decides to run for president

in the Republican primary. He's already said that he'd be willing to to be Donald Trump's running mate, and Kellyanne Conway has already said, he's at the top of the list. This Florida man. Ah, so what the Miami Herald reported this week, this has been a uniquely bad week for Francis Suarez. So bad in fact that he's not, he has not announced that he's running for president yet, but he is running scared from the public in the press who are demanding answers

for this f***ery. And he didn't even show up this week to a panel discussion in over town on crime that he was supposed to be at for quote unquote, personal reasons. And the real reason is that the Miami Herald just reported that mayor Ponzi postalita, lawyer, private equity, exact and part-time mayor for which he received, by the way, a $130,000 a year compensation package from taxpayers in a city where the median household income is $47,000. He was literally on the payroll of a luxury condo developer. Right, when we talk about politicians being quote unquote, oh, on the payroll of special

interests or on the payroll of a developer in the pocket, this is like literally, bro. This guy was getting $10,000 per month from this developer in Coconut Grove. Francis Suarez made at least $170,000 on this scheme for this luxury counter development in Coconut Grove in the city of Miami where Francis Suarez is the mayor, one of the poorest cities in the country. There were delays on this $70 million mixed use urban,

it was called URBI and urban coconut grove complex. And Mayor Suarez, according to the developer, was there to assist in pushing this delayed project along. Obviously unethical, quite possibly illegal. The former gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats in the state of Florida, Andrew Gillum, got arrested and tried by the feds for accepting Hamilton Broadway tickets for crying out loud, found not guilty incidentally. And this guy's literally on the payroll of developers. But that's not all.

The Harold also announced this week that the Miami-Dade ethics commission and possibly state attorney, Catherine Fernandez Rundle, may may, keyword may initiate an investigation on this. But this guy has a list of clients that he claims his top secret. And it is a minefield of conflicts of interest. In 2018, the Miami Herald learned that he was the secret unregistered lobbyist for Fisher Island, one of the richest zip codes

in the United States of America, secretly advocating for those residents while also serving as the mayor of one of the poorest zip codes in the United States of America, secretly advocating for those residents while also serving as the mayor of one of the poorest cities in the country. In 2021, while he was counseled at Green Spoon Martyr, the law firm, he loudly shilled for Shitcoin and lobbied for crypto-friendly legislation in Tallahassee, while his law firm listed him as part of its cryptocurrency practice.

Here's my favorite part. When the Miami Herald called up Green Spoon Martyr to ask questions, they said, oh no, no, he's not a part of the cryptocurrency practice and took his name immediately deleted it off their website within hours of the Miami Herald inquiring. May a crypto bro. May a crypto bro.

What if he runs for president? Thank you. Moishimana, this very prominent developer who's bought up downtown Miami, who bought up win wood, who actually has Francis Suarez's cousin possibly allegedly his bag man on the payroll. He's been able to throw illegal events in win wood without permits, dangerous, potentially life threatening venues in win wood where everybody else would get shut down or fine for it. This guy actually, during the pandemic,

he had a mural, Roy, painted on the side of one of his buildings, of him and Francis Suarez embracing. This was some kind of third-world celebration of Miami corruption. It was actually a developer commissioning a mural on the side of one of his Wynwood buildings, of him embracing the mayor that he has bought and paid for allegedly. Also this year, we learn that Francis Suarez, mayor Ponzi Postalita, was the secret attorney

for city attorney, Vicki Mendes's husband in their house flipping scheme. Remember we talked about this. They're now being accused of exploiting both Vicki Mendes' public position and Francis Suarez's public position to prey on senior citizens and elderly residents of Miami to basically obtain their houses at below market rate and flip them for big profits while the city effectively alleviates any of the leans or code enforcement

violations or anything against them. Part of what Al Crespo used to call the Friends and Family Plan here in Miami. Bottom line here is, right, that Francis War as does not represent his constituents, okay. He represents his clients and dollar for dollar. He is the most corrupt mayor in Miami history, a man who we just learned this week, his former communications director, just pled guilty. This guy was charged with exploiting his public position

to lure a teenage boy to city hall under the auspices of a job and allegedly grope to him in the mayor's conference room on the second floor of Miami City Hall. Francis War has literally helped to turn City Hall into an actual crime scene. And this man, Renee Pedroza, just pled guilty in federal court this week to receiving child pornography because he solicited a nude photo from this 16 year old boy after he allegedly molested him at City Hall.

And Francis Waris helped this guy get a job after he lied on his government job application leaving out any reference to his DUI convictions or his arrest for creeping and prowling. That's incidentally a felony to lie on a government job application, but Francis intervened and allowed him to will say correct that and then hired him instead of firing him or having him arrested. So why you may ask, isn't Francis Suarez already under investigation under arrest being held accountable for his unethical misconduct and possible crimes? Because Miami. Because Miami.

Coming up next, book bans, Disney movie bans, and... Coming up next, book bans, Disney movie bans, and... Crystal Fashes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! We've braved the belly of the beast. We've learned that quiet isn't always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is, isn't always just is. And yet, the dawn is ours before.

We knew it somehow, we do it somehow. We've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished. Those inspiring words are from Amanda Gorman at the inauguration of President Joe Biden in January of 2021. And now they had been banned from elementary school students at the K-8 Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes as a result of a complaint from one parent who didn't just complain about that book because the poem, as Gorman performed it,

was published as a book, and then this one parent at the school complained about it. And she said, the hill we climb, which is the name of the work, written by Oprah Winfrey, which is of course not true. It was Oprah Winfrey wrote the intro to the book. I feel like you should at least, if you can get a book banned, you should at least have to get the author right, Roy, right?

Or maybe just write a book report about the book that is semi literate or accurate. But this one parent in Miami Lake said she objects the material because it is not educational and have indirectly hate messages. Specifically pages 12 to 13, which was the excerpt that we just played, which I thought was incredibly actually inspiring message about the hope for this country and the future of this country. She says that this is not for school. She wanted to ban it from the entire school, K through 8, the function of this material is to cause confusion and indoctrination, and she wants to remove

the challenge material from the total environment. She was not successful in that, they only moved it out of the media center from the elementary school section into the middle school, section despite the fact that the piece was written for kids ages five and up. And I should say adults five and up for that matter. But this same parent also got banned from elementary school students, the ABCs of Black History book, a book called Cuban kids, a book called Countries in the News Cuba. And of course, the poem poem The Hill We Climb.

But here's the thing about the parent. Who is the parent? Who is this one parent? Because parental choice, Roy, I've said it before, I'll say it again, said bears repeating. Parental choice is a parent going, hey, I don't want my kid, or my kids, to read that book or be exposed to that material.

Fine, how can I begrudge a parent that? Parental choice is not one parent saying, no kids in this entire class or this entire grade or this entire school should read this material. That's not what that is. That's not parental choice. That is in fact taking the choice out of the hands of 99 plus percent of the parents.

But here's the thing, this isn't just any parent making these illiterate one-page, six-word complaints and getting bookspaned from the entire elementary school classes in this particular school in Miami Lakes. But this character, Daily Salinas, is a well-known in Miami circles, right-wing figure who has appeared, according to the Twitter account Miami against fascism has appeared at protests alongside the proud boys. There's

an image of her right next to Enrique Tario Miami's own Clayton Bigsby, the Afro Cuban dude from Miami, who is the former chairman of the proud Boys. He was a director for the Florida Hispanics for Trump and of course has been convicted of effectively treason, but sedition against the United States America trying to overthrow this government on January 6th, Magatav to this guy. But she's there along moms for liberty, which of course is, they're so good at naming things the opposite of what they are. Moms for Liberty, also known as Cland Karen Hood. We've talked about this organization before she was there getting removed from the Miami

Dade County school board meeting because she was there to protest sex education books full stop. That's it. She wanted to stop sex education from being taught in Miami Dade public schools, where I think we are probably number one in the nation for sexually transmitted diseases, specifically for HIV and AIDS. We need to teach kids about this and she was there to stop it. Why?

Roy, do you know why? No, why? Because communism, Roy. Of course. That's why. Because it's communism and Satanic to teach children, not teach children, but teach high school kids about sex education. Last week we told you the story of Jenna Barbie, a first year fifth grade teacher in Hernando

County, Florida, who found herself the subject of controversy because she showed an animated PG rated Disney movie Strange World tour students as part of an earth sciences curriculum because as it turns out, there's about 90 seconds of a gay character in this. I should have made sure you were sitting down first, where you wanna stand up and sit down again, just to kind of reboot, okay, you're definitely sitting down. There was a gay, you're good, you're good, you're good. All right, gay character for 90 seconds

of this 90 plus minute movie. We told you her story last week, and now she is joining us here live on because Miami. Jenna, you okay Roy? You all right? I'm bored. You're flooring. Yeah, she's seated but no. So as you know, we have to stop big Disney here in the state of Florida. Tourism generates nearly a hundred billion dollars a year, but a third of that comes from Disney and we have to stop them for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why. But Jenna, right out of the gate, we heard your story, we heard some clips from your really

moving TikTok video last week. But what I want to ask here is this one parent thing that happened to Amanda Gorman. It seems to have happened to you. You showed this to a class full of kids. You had sign permission slips from parents at the beginning of the year saying at your discretion, you can show PG rated or lower or G rated, I imagine movies. But is this accurate? One parent complained about it and the next thing you know, this is a national scandal. Yes.

That one parent reported be for indoctrination to the Florida Department of Education before ever talking to me. Who was this parent and did they have an axe to grind? And was it kind of like in the case of Miami here? Like this was someone who was not just a concerned parent, but an activist looking to censor you and censor the curriculum in your school. Yeah, so she's actually a school board member.

And her daughter is not technically in my class. She just happened to be in there that day. And I got caught right in her rampage that she's going on because she just went to all the high schools and made them get rid of everything that had any form of representation, like got like escorted by admin and everything. She was just trying to appease this super right wing political thing that's happening because my dad's actually a politician and when she found out that he was, she called him and said, oh, if I knew that was your daughter, I never would have reported her.

Then is it really about the safety of the children or are we meeting our a political people here and trying to just appease them? Something doesn't add up. Well, let me ask you, were you trying to indoctrinate these children into the political or gay world of strange world here.

No, like, first of all, these students, these fifth graders, like, she tried to call me out and said, my student should be 10 until she's a le- okay, they have one-to-one devices. They look up things that they show me that I'm like, if you don't turn that off right now, I'm going to have to- how are you even pulling that up on a school computer? I'm like, if you don't turn that off right now, I'm going to have to, how are you even pulling that off on a school computer? It doesn't even make sense to me that this just minor representation, it's talks about crush, it's not even about coming out of the closet or a relationship developing, it's not even what it is.

So because something is represented, it's illegal now, that doesn't even make sense. That's not indoctrination. Actually, her forcing the removal of these things, that's pushing a belief. That's the definition of indoctrination. I've seen this movie at one time. I thought it was wonderful. Certainly the message, the takeaway for me, was like you said, it's sort of about earth sciences, it's about protecting the environment and saving the one planet that we have, but also people might be shocked to learn that there is apparently heterosexual indoctrination because there's two parents. There's heterosexual. And there's the Rachel. Right, and interracial.

But they're very affectionate with each other in a way that nobody seems to have a problem. I just, again, what is this about? What is this really? What is a sub this about? What is this really, what is the subtext about? Is this about perhaps like looking to scare you, looking to send a chill across public school teachers everywhere to like just censor yourself, to second guess yourself, maybe even a force you out of your jobs?

What is really going on? It's really frustrating. So I think that it's really just this super right wing political thing going on right now where they're just trying to feed the hate. So you think about it, hate right here, right? It's one kind of fire. You feed it brush and it burns hot. It burns fast, but it goes out quick. Which means that they need to keep adding bills and they need to keep adding things to happen to feed these super extremists who are living in a world of fear and hate.

So that's what's happening. Instead of them like, oh, healing themselves and becoming accepting and like having for better that happens and then we like start to be okay with other people being different and individuality and wow, this is sustainable. No, so we're just gonna feed the fear and hate instead by just adding on all these crazy things.

And you're in a classroom with children and you probably spend more time with your kids than they even spend with their parents. So that is a plate. You know, you're a person that they need to be able to trust and you're a person that they need to be able to. I'm not my parents don't even have parents. It's sad. Like that's, they need us and we're not even allowed to be open and talk to them anymore without somebody possibly reporting us. And speaking of which, and this to me is what I was getting at before about like, what is the real goal here? I was reading a story, I don't know what the status of the Department of Education investigation

into you is or into into this incident is, but they were talking about coming and questioning the kids. So you have this, you know, what Marjorie Taylor Green might call Gospacho squad coming in and terrifying the children and asking them questions about you and your competency and your pro what what the hell is that? Yeah. So an investigator came from the Florida Department of Education and Pult was able to pull the students out of class and interrogate them. And as long as the parents didn't call an object, assuming they got a letter or saw my video, then the student was able to be interrogated because they didn't need a parents signature or anything. So again, this goal is to, that's not creating a safe place for children.

That's not creating a place where they feel like they want to come and they want to share and they want to be open and get educated, right? I mean, they're probably terrified. No? Some of my students who have told me before that they are part of that community seem are seemingly depressed after all of us seeing the pressure that I'm under. I do have to go though. I have to go get my students. So I would love to keep talking to you about this, but I'm out of time. I love it. Go yellow jackets. Yes. Jenna, thanks. Thanks so much for joining us.

Thank you. There's a dedicated public school teacher. I mean, even under the like constant threat of firing of our students being terrorized by the state. So they were not terrorized by this Disney movie, but they're being terrorized by the state because So they were not terrorized by this Disney movie, but they're being terrorized by the state because their teacher showed them this Disney movie because Florida. Go Heat, Go Cats, Cocains.
