🎙️ The Record🗞️ — How We Got Here
good morning, it’s October 19th, welcome back to the record🗞️. i’m marlena.
today’s episode is about how we got to the point where millions of people had to take the streets just to remind america — we don’t do kings.
this didn’t start overnight. it’s been years in the making — every moment we normalized cruelty, excused corruption, or laughed at the collapse of empathy. from mocking a disabled reporter to bragging about assault, from “very fine people on both sides” to “maybe inject bleach” — the line kept moving, and we kept adapting.
we talk about what happens when humiliation becomes performance, when truth becomes optional, and when power stops fearing consequence.
there’s the part nobody wants to touch — the parties, the flights, the photos. epstein. the network of power that let it all slide. because when money talks, morality whispers.
somewhere along the way, democracy became a brand, and corruption became “strategy.” we forgot what accountability feels like.
but this week — the people remembered.no kings day wasn’t about politics. it was about boundaries. about saying no to monarchy, no to blind loyalty, no to leaders who confuse control with love.
listen in. it’s not just history — it’s a reckoning.
🎧 Gut Check That’s how we got here — not by accident, but by tolerance.By calling indecency “strength.” By mistaking cruelty for power.And now the people have to remind the system who’s in charge.
