Fighting for Undocumented Kids’ Rights & Using the Bible for Social Justice - Klepper Podcast

[@yayalala2625]

I have the Utmost respect for klepper for this piece. For his sacrifice, for acknowledging his privilege and for his humility.

[@enx2083]

I took back my like trying to like it for a second time in the three seconds I read it. Strong agree.

[@MetaKnight964]

What privilege? The one in your and his heads?

[@enx2083]

Lol okay "metaknight" whatever you say

[@yayalala2625]

@@MetaKnight964 lmao looks like you asked a question then filled in your own answer. I had to pay quite a bit of money for my education i am definitely not about to educate you for free on youtube. Good luck w/that!

[@justacrazycamper]

@@yayalala2625 looks like you wasted your money learning feelings-based truth. Sorry, but truth and facts are not on your side, no matter how strongly you FEEL contrary to the truth.

[@budrollin7557]

Jail sucks, but don't be afraid of it. Stay calm, cool and use your head. If you're in for a social justice issue, you've joined a list of human's biggest heroes!

[@mariaangelova8275]

Couldn't agree more with you!! Standing up for something that's right is always a good choice. Even if it lands you in jail.

[@abbyflows1332]

thedevilsmaster actually I’m a psychology major and that’s right people who are confused about their sexuality and are afraid of their secret homosexual desires act out with rage against homosexuals because they see them as a threat to their masculinity or because they want people to be sure about their “masculinity”

[@morrisse0_088]

M a r i a A n g e l o v a I‘d even go further than that. If you are put in jail for standing up for other peoples rights you know you have done the right thing. God bless america, as a european I hope you’re not gonna try the same crap we did ages ago...

[@darrinnoble]

Klepper is the bees knees. He deserves an award for this. Even more so, the kids deserve full status as Americans.

[@TheAureliac]

No one's even commented on the irony that the meeting was started with a prayer--so much for the separation of church and state--but prayers for wisdom and kindness were considered disruptive.

[@nadjak3410]

@FavouriteDragon I don't think that swearing on the Bible is a must in any state. I think you can use any... Book you want? Or no book at all? You could swear on any other religious scripture or smth

[@Jeff121456]

Klepper did an amazing job as the most annoying man in the US but I like him much better as a nice guy.

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

Jeffery Rowan totally. Colbert got sick of that gig too. That's why he is so real on the late show, because he had to be the Colbert report for so long and before that was kleppers role on the daily show.

[@corinnehernandez4549]

This is powerful! Thank you for doing this special. Thank you for posting. The story of the DACA children/young adults touches my heart because it reminds me of my grandparents. Both my grandparents were brought to the United States when they babies. There parents were farm workers in Fresno, California. My grandparents were born in Mexico and raised in Mexico. Eventually my grandparents met and married in Fresno. During the Depression they moved to Los Angeles for work. My grandparents raised 9 children. Their eldest son served in in WWII; was KIA in 1944. My grandparents never became citizens of the United States. Once again thank you for the documentary. If my grandparents were alive today I think they would be in shock by the hate of the anti immigrant policies.

[@alvinh5153]

Jordan as an immigrant and Hispanic i thank you for standing up for us it made me cry to know someone will defended us this much

[@etwasneues5754]

Damn I have so much respect for Jordan and all those people standing up against injustice

[@abbyflows1332]

thedevilsmaster how are supporting them??? They pay taxes they just can’t collect them back like you, you think they go to the grocery store and they’re like “no don’t charge me taxes I’m an illegal”? They can’t apply for medical or food stamps like people think look it up for your self you sound ignorant.

Jordan Klepper is a true American patriot and hero.

[@BillAngelos]

I was pissed when the fake right wing show Klepper had was cancelled. I hope this show is the one that gets him his success. Big fan of him.

[@TurboSilke]

same, and while this one seems way less funny it really is more engaging to see a more true Jordan.

[@vladys5238]

i really liked the opposition. This is also interesting but it's nowhere near the opposition. I'll still watch it tho

[@David-vf7if]

I’m new to Klepper but I’m loving it. So funny and insightful.

[@Jenny-nh9hh]

Pastor Matt is amazing! What he said about religious leaders advocating for social justice but not being partisan is spot on. 🙏

[@justacrazycamper]

Ha! Left wingers rarely see their actions and statements as partisan even though it's ridiculously obvious to anyone with the ability to use logic.

[@skynyrdjesus]

@@justacrazycamper That's because treating other groups of people with dignity and humanity shouldn't be a political issue, and if it is to you then you should take a good long, logical look at the values of your political party.

[@justacrazycamper]

@@skynyrdjesus you are so completely ignorant of what a relationship with Jesus Christ is and means. God Hates No One. Read John 3:16. It doesn't say God loved part of the world... We are ALL sinners in need of a holy and righteous Redeemer, and LGBT+ people are no more or less in need of salvation than anyone else. They are also no more or less good or bad than anyone else. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23" The group of ignorant people you make reference to (the God Hates ... crowd) are not followers of Christ, and therefore not Christians, according to what the Bible says. And the fact that you blanket the entirety of those that call themselves Christian betrays your own willful ignorance. Please read the New Testament for yourself, asking God to show you the truth with no personal bias, and you too can repent of your sins, wholly dependent on the finished work of Christ, and join me in heaven as brothers in Christ one day.

[@SaturnineRam23]

@@justacrazycamper nah Catholics are Christian, it's just that we care about immigrants more than the rest who make up Christianity, so we help them out more

[@Twocrudedudes]

Thank you Jordan, for standing up for people that can't do it for themselves, even at your own risk.

[@johnnyastronomicon6088]

And we love you, Jordan Klepper.

[@druid_zephyrus]

wow, I was saying the same thing. Reverend Matt is gonna get me to go to church. That is the good side of people who are religious. If the church wants to increase its numbers they need more people like the Reverend.

[@000Achmed]

This is incredible work, I really hope you keep doing more of this Jordan, we really don't get enough of it

[@TheWinterburne]

That reminded me of a NPR story about secret schools for girls in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. How heart wrenching is to see this and similar oppressions happening in USA in 2019!

[@Saurabh96038]

Been a fan of Jordan and this is a moving and a meaningful piece..his acts have always been so much about social justice peppered with humor - this is good :)

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

As a hearing impaired viewer I _really_ appreciate the subtitles 💜 so many people just don't bother on KZbin, including CNN/MSNBC/etc. May I suggest, however, that for bits like at the very start where the subtitles are already hard baked into the video, it might be better to _not_ also add KZbin subtitles? It's not a big deal, just looks a wee bit ugly and can be visually confusing for a second. I dated a Becky, but I don't think she ever really lived up to her name, as she was lovely.

[@DRBUX86]

[@kjpires]

#Klepper: Please do a follow up on things like: 1) have the charges been dropped on you/everyone, 2) if not, how are the court proceedings going, 3) what is the nature of the "Criminal Trespass" charge in Georgia (e.g. is it a citation, misdemeanor or felony, and what potential consequences if prosecution goes to term) and 4) how are the students doing as time goes on.

As a lifelong member of the United Church of Christ, I just knew when Jordan said he was with a social justice Pastor that was his grandma's in Michigan, that the Pastor was probably with the UCC. When Jordan said the church name, I googled it and sure enough the church is a UCC congregation. I love my church so much! We have a national Social Justice ministry.

I was born 58 years ago in futon County Georgia. I was adopted by school teachers in Alaska. It saddens and tears my heart apart that people lack understanding because they choose not to see the truth . People who want better lives is that not why families came to the noth american continent hundreds of years ago ? Cities are corporation's they exist because of tax paying citizens the real problem is employers and business that chooses to not pay taxes and hire and pay people under the table . This practice has to be stopped. The business owners who participate in this practice are the true criminals they should be fined and jailed . Yes both fined and jailed and any further activity in breaking the law in this matter should carry greater fines and jail time . People who come to this country and choose education understand paying taxes is part of being a responsible citizen . Business owners who wave the carrot should be held accountable for tax evasion laws and we should create new laws that stop the root of the problem. Local governments should be held accountable as well by federal laws. Its not acceptable practice in this day and age throw all the good old boys in jail and be done with it.

[@stefanhoimes]

I have many undocumented family members. One of my cousins missed the cutoff for DACA by only a few months. America is the only "home" he's ever known. He's in his 30s, has become educated, successful, raising a family, generally living his "American Dream". He's also in constant fear of deportation to Greece, a country where he barely speaks the language and has no recollection of ever being, and the terror of being barred from seeing his family for many years. All because his parents overstayed a tourist visa before he could even walk or speak so he could have a better life. He's been in the US for over three decades, ffs. This is the only home he's ever know. It's absolutely devastating what immigrants live with every day... especially those who were too young to consent and grew up in the US.

[@katherynemero9355]

I live in Vermont. I get pulled over constantly for bogus things. I was pulled over once because I "touched the white line twice;" I was pulled over another time because "my license plate wasn't straight on the vehicle." I am not undocumented; I am not African American, but I do feel harassed. I am white, but more than one person has actually said "your skin is kind of dark." I understand the fear that these people have; no one wants to hear it, but I do get it. I basically belong nowhere: I'm not white enough to be truly white, and I'm not dark enough to be black.

[@jill9700]

I lived in Vermont for a while back in the day and was pulled over for going too slow during a blizzard whilst driving up a mountain. They're bored and wanna see what you're doing. Oh yeah, and prob racist as fuck.

[@briankenney9528]

The thing about whiteness is it is so nebulous that it can get yanked away at the pleasure of people in power. There is no biological component to race because race is a social construct

[@katherynemero9355]

@@briankenney9528 I find this utterly fascinating to contemplate. I'm already at the point where I believe that stereotypical generalizations brought about by pop culture are the real reason we hate anyway. And it's made up. A human being is a human being regardless of all the labels that we assign it. You're making me think maybe racism is a social disease.

[@williamanddeborahblount7758]

Kind of sort of reminds me of how in the book of Acts in NT, the apostle Peter, having been mailed for following Christ Jesus, was set Free from jail with angelic help. A young lady named Rhoda was so excited at hearing his voice at the door she announced it to a number of his waiting friends. They thought she was crazy. The irony was they were praying for his release and got their answer. Acts 12:5-17. Christ has a sense of humor and mixes it in to show us his power even as our faith comes up short sometimes. God will work in the lives of those who are oppressed.

[@elucier9]

I’m confused. I thought we had free speech and could protest without fear of being penalized. Why were they arrested? In my view, they did nothing wrong.

[@cztrca]

Elizabeth Lucier I think the reason that they were arrested was that they disrupted a council meeting. They would be asked to leave, and when they didn’t they would be arrested for trespassing.
