I played 40 points between Iraq and Afghanistan, and I'm a member of the North Alabama Democratic Socialists of America.
And everything I learned about socialism, I found in the Bible, the army, and the Constitution.
And speaking of the Constitution, I'm here tonight to talk about it.
Now I swore an oath to the Constitution and the people, and let me tell you, I take it very seriously.
Didn't all y'all take note of it?
How serious are y'all about that?
Or are you deeply unserious?
Which is it?
'Cause right now, fascism is here, creeping like kudzu into every part of the country and spreading outside of here and across the world.
Do y'all think if you keep your heads down, go along, get along, that this city, this state is gonna get skipped?
Folks, that's not how fascism works.
It comes for all.
It is universal in its hunger for power and subservience.
What y'all gonna do next year if that backwards, boom-licking ball coach wins the governorship and says to y'all, "I've learned so much."
Mr. Jones, I'm gonna stop you for just a minute.
You were instructed that you could not speak regarding the name or character of any person.
He's not here.
So please, you can't be present.
Oh, okay.
I didn't hear the name!
Go ahead.
And it says to y'all, "I've done so much for Huntsville.
Now what I need is a concentration camp for kids.
If you think I'm exaggerating, right now in Texas, they've got great concentration camps for tender-aged children.
I don't know about you, but I will bet a dollar that those children's rights have been grossly violated.
DHS has stated in several memos that the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments are to be ignored.
Beyond that, do you know how many people have been killed either in the streets, like Renee Good, after she dropped off her kids at school, or in the camps?
I would classify all that as cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of the Constitution.
So what shall it be?
Shall y'all stand tall and show beyond the shadow of doubt that you stand the law of evil?
Or will you bend the knee and live with the bloody sword of fascism at your neck?
Because they are coming, everybody's a kid, just like they're doing past time.
It can happen here.
All the power to all the people.
We the people, bring our chains together, solidarity forever.
