The Welcome to Media Roots Radio.

This is Robbie Martin.

And this is Abby Martin.

Well, geez.

It seems like...

Yeah, it seems like things took quite a turn.

We thought that the last episode we did was, oh my God, shit's really happening.

Venezuela regime change.

Pretty shocking in a way, but also not completely shocking because it seemed like it had

been sort of telegraphed that it was coming for a while.

And it's only been less than two weeks since our last episode.

And shit has completely seemingly gone off the rails

to a point where it is no longer hyperbolic

in any way shape or form to call this administration

completely brazenly fascist.

And that is clearly the direction that this country is going in very fucking quickly um so that's that's the way i feel like opening the podcast because

i really don't know any other way to put it um. I mean, we just saw a white mother getting shot three times in the face and millions of people

apologizing for it.

And I'm not mentioning the fact that she was white because there's somehow more reason to be outraged.

I'm saying that's how normalized our society has made it,

where like brown and black people have been basically just murdered a lot of times on camera
