Speaker Time Text
elijah schaffer
Awesome guys.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive on Blaze TV with your favorite gay black woman, Mia Elijah Schaefer, which being a trans identity makes me immune from all criticism.
We are here in Minnesota, specifically Minneapolis, at the counter protest against Donald Trump, who is right here in this building, the Target Center, which is more than one meeting.
You guys, we got some crazy stuff ahead.
We hope you enjoy the show.
Always make sure to like, share, and subscribe to keep independent media and journalism alive.
We hope you enjoy the show.
We are in Minnesota, Minnesota, in Minneapolis, which I confused to Minneapolis.
And we're headed towards the Target Center, which is clearly a target for a lot of people.
So tell me a little bit first each about your signs, why you made them, and what they mean to you.
unidentified
So I made this sign.
Trump is not above the law.
To say that Trump has repeatedly gone against the law, and just because he's president doesn't mean that he shouldn't be impeached or shouldn't be held to the standards that every other citizen in the United States is.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
And your sign, explain that one to me.
It says impeach the orange.
unidentified
And pretty much I'm just calling for impeachment of crimes that he's committed against our country.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
And yours?
unidentified
It kind of goes off hers.
I do believe he has pretty much ripped off every place he's had rallies at in the last 10 here going back to 2016 and I think that she should be held accountable for every single thing he's not above the law and it's wrong how he preaches racism.
Liar, liar!
Diaper on fire!
Liar, liar!
Personally, my grandma couldn't be here today, so I'm representing her, me, and the good of the people for what our country really deserves, a true leader who will do the best for his country.
And I really don't think he's been doing that at all lately.
elijah schaffer
Explain why you agree with the sign.
unidentified
Man, it's a lot.
elijah schaffer
Where do we start?
So you say he's making it bad.
Can you talk to me a little bit about what specifically drives that feeling in you and what you're seeing that's so bad that we could possibly make a change on in this country?
unidentified
I mean, definitely there's a lot.
It's kind of hard to pick on just one thing.
I don't even know where to start.
I don't really know.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Trump D. Dumpty had a great fall.
All of his admin and all his family couldn't but put Trumpty together again.
So they all went to prison.
And Tifa actually inspired me to wear a mask and also the fact that I'm trying to protect my identity basically.
elijah schaffer
And it's important to protect your identity.
Why at a protest like this?
unidentified
Because historically people have been doxxed for standing up for what they think is right and I'm not willing to let my personal information be abused like that.
elijah schaffer
But you're not actually an Antifa member, you're just inspired by the group?
unidentified
Yes, that's correct.
elijah schaffer
Okay, so there's a mix, there's mixed feelings on Antifa in the media, right?
Do you feel that the media is for Antifa or do you think they come against it unfairly?
unidentified
I think that the media is against Antifa, but I think that there's a lot of people in the shadows that are actually for Antifa.
A lot of people like to say that they're the ones who are violent, but I personally think that it's the alt-right that incites violence.
elijah schaffer
Have you been to some of those rallies and seen that kind of stuff take place, or is it just from reports?
unidentified
I haven't personally been to these riots or protests.
I have seen them on YouTube.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
And then what happens if violence breaks out?
What does someone do at a protest like this?
unidentified
Do your best to stay safe on your own.
I'm going to personally try to avoid violence.
That is not what I am here for.
I am prepared to take the risk that that might happen.
I've seen people get maced.
I've seen people have guns out at these protests.
elijah schaffer
Do you feel like the alt-right is probably here at the Trump rally?
unidentified
Oh, most definitely.
elijah schaffer
How much percentage do you think inside of the people would probably fall into the alt-right category?
unidentified
Probably too many.
elijah schaffer
If you may quantify a guess?
unidentified
At least half, probably.
elijah schaffer
50%.
unidentified
Yeah, people are just louder these days with Trump giving them a voice.
It's not that anything got better over the years.
It's just that they went quiet and dormant.
And now that he's giving them a voice, those people are coming out of the woodwork.
I stand against oppression.
I stand against pretty much everything that this administration has gone up and kind of supported.
We have to make those fears a reality.
Take it to the fing streets.
We have to be the ones.
Everybody here, if this is your first protest or if you're a long-time social justice organizer, we right here have to be the ones that call people into the streets in sustained mass nonviolent protests starting week after week, becoming day after day, thousands growing to millions.
Well, I think he's a fing traitor.
You know, I think he's been working with Putin since the 90s when he started laundering Russian billionaires money.
And I think he's just f ⁇ ing owned by Putin.
So I just put this on there because he's a bitch.
elijah schaffer
You're going to vote in the 2020 election.
Of course.
All right, who's a better alternative?
Who would be best?
unidentified
I would definitely say Bernie.
elijah schaffer
He is facilitating socialism.
unidentified
Congress better get off its ass because this f ⁇ ker is going to turn our country upside down.
This is a president that defies climate change, defies facts, defies the way that the world is turning.
He doesn't believe in reality.
He believes in his own truth.
He recruited help from the Ukrainian government and China to help him win his election.
He's a f ⁇ ing traitor.
We don't need any more evidence.
We got to f ⁇ ing get those f ⁇ ers in handcuffs, drag their asses into the Senate, have a trial, and send those f ⁇ ers to jail.
F ⁇ Donald Trump!
We've seen time and time again since the election of Donald Trump that there are targeted attacks towards marginalized groups.
We have a president who upholds white supremacy while criminalizing marginalized communities while not supporting and not taking care of the 99%.
I don't think my thought process has to be that deep.
When you have a leader encouraging people to put like specific types of people in prison camps, which he's doing, and you have him discouraging immigration and then really targeting populations that the Nazis targeted, like disabled folks, queer folks, Jewish folks, people of color.
Like it's not that deep of a thought process.
It's just already there.
elijah schaffer
There's a sign that went around that's very controversial.
Some people think it's negative, but it was meant in a positive way.
It says the future is disabled.
Could you expound on what that movement or what that means and whether that's a positive or negative thing?
unidentified
I actually, I know the starter of that movement.
Her name's Annie.
And I fully support it 100% the future.
The future is disabled.
The future is for disabled people.
I know a lot of people don't like the word disabled because they're scared of it because for so long disability has been a negative.
But I'm all for the future being disabled.
And so I think it's really important to call out the similarities between what's happening right now and what's already happened because we all know what the Nazis were like and what they did.
And I think it would be a mistake to assume that this isn't similar.
You are complicit.
Hey, you are complicit.
elijah schaffer
I'm like journalists.
unidentified
Okay, well, okay.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
unidentified
Thank you.
elijah schaffer
So right here we have a group of volunteers who have formed what it appears to be somewhat of a wall to prevent protesters from being harassed or attacked, which is, if you come right, look over to my right, you do have an open boulevard.
There are not any actual physical barricades, and there's a much smaller police presence than I probably would have ever thought would be at an event like this.
So volunteers are stepping in.
Probably, I don't know what it would really do.
And if the car came, it would just go through, but this is actually the least amount of security I've seen for a protest event, period, in the history of doing this of this size.
And that's not looking good for the future of the night.
So what do you think about the counter protest?
unidentified
It's a little insane.
People look a little crazy, but civil so far.
Civil so far.
I'm waiting on it to blow up a little bit.
elijah schaffer
What do you feel like they're missing in the fact that obviously you love Trump, you're decked out in his gear, this supports the campaign, they're largely against it.
What's going on here?
Hold up, sorry.
unidentified
The road is blocked off.
When you see a road closed, people look at the streets.
The road is blocked.
You think you people own the f ⁇ ing road?
The road is closed.
Do you have a license to be on this road right now?
The road is closed.
Do you have a license to be on this road?
The road is closed.
Do you have a license to be on this f ⁇ ing road?
You have a license to be on this road right now?
Because I do.
I pay to be on this f ⁇ ing road.
And for you people to think that you could block us from f ⁇ ing going through, get out of your fing mind.
No, Trump!
No, KKK, no racist USA!
elijah schaffer
So now we're right here, we have these two guys who say they have a license to be on the road, and then we have a wall of people who are preventing them from getting across.
Apparently, it's a battle of the licenses.
Who has the right to be here?
They don't have a license.
The police are not getting involved.
But we got a nice sign over here, and check it out.
unidentified
KKK, no racist USA!
Can you make a U-turn?
You're on camera.
Can you make a U-turn?
Can you make a U-turn and go that way?
No racist USA.
Trump!
No KKK!
No racist USA!
elijah schaffer
Two motorcycles stopped.
One president not.
unidentified
F Trump!
F Trump!
elijah schaffer
Guys, today's sponsor for our show was provided to you by Trumpyos.
But we gotta love the Trumpyos, right?
unidentified
Yeah!
I would eat them.
elijah schaffer
These are the most nutritious, delicious, and triumphant treats apparently that people can eat in all of the country.
Would you give your friends Trumpios?
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
Present.
I have a couple of friends that would love to chow down on some of that.
Trump!
elijah schaffer
I would eat them.
This is the state of the resistance.
We're live with the flute.
We got Comrade Susie on the flute.
Take it away, Susie.
And on the...
Whatever that is, we have Comrade Tim.
Get a Tim.
We got Calooza Balooza Billy here on the trombone.
And Comrade Hummus on the flags.
You can hear the wind.
Quieting down.
We're quieting down.
And we have Mace already flying.
People are beginning to get arrested in violence.
Every trump hat I've seen today has been taken.
unidentified
People look at you.
Looking like a motherfucking Trump hats that were set on fire here today.
elijah schaffer
On my left, we have over here the actual police officers who are trying to allow cars to exit safely.
