    EP. 218 - WE The People Need to stay ACTIVE and Stop Being A F*cking HYPOCRITES.
    Feb 5 2025

    Welcome back to The Late Night Lockdown!

    Uff da! It's been a rough several weeks for everyone, hasn't it? You're not alone.

    Originally recorded in October 2024, (please forgive the noise of our much needed Air Conditioner running in the background that day) - On this episode, our co-hosts, Amiee and Matthew, get back to focusing and conversing over several social issues that need to be acknowledged and discussed. The better and more often we openly talk about these things the better we can understand each other and have educated opinions to then find realistic solutions.

    The People Need to stay ACTIVE and Americans Need to Stop Being F*cking HYPOCRITES. Staying active with Democratic engagement is a must at ALL times, not just when it is convenient for you or when it just directly affects you. It's not just a season you care about for a bit and then swipe it away for the remainder of the year. Your votes and your educated knowledge on important matters that directly affect tax-payers/citizens lives, including your very own, is WHY your votes matter. If you don't care who represents you and what they do with that power, than you get the charlatans and frauds with bad leadership which is then a ripple effect that directly affects people's lives. Staying active matters because, whether you like Politics or not, it doesn't care: Politics will and does affect your daily life 365 days a year. We know, we know! It CAN be so boring, BUT if it directly affects your life and your loved ones, don't you WANT to know what the f*ck is going on? Realistically, we all live in a gigantic 'World Chess Game' and we're watching live in action right now.


    What started our country in the first place?

    Taxation WITHOUT Representation. So WHY do we still have places that are American but don't do this?? ie Washington DC, Puerto Rico, etc.

    Other topics on this episode include Women's rights and our bodily autonomy education for all ages so that we can be an educated and compassionate society instead of a hateful, judging one. And the Book Review segment covers:

    The Diary of Anne Frank - a must read for EVERYONE if you haven't already, and especially right now. The similarities between then and now is very concerning beyond words and something we all should be aware of and acknowledging the facts of as we start this new administration. "Actions Speak Louder Than Words"


    History repeats itself since Greek Mythology days....

    EP. 217 - Back from Hiatus: Democracy is still NOT a Monarchy and for damn good reasons!
    Jan 22 2025

    Originally recorded on 9/2/24:

    Back from a long hiatus, our co-hosts, Amiee and Matt, catch up on the social issues of the day with of course a little comedy and humor to lighten the dark wrath of the world today. Topics included: their personal experiences and opinions on gun safety and common- sense gun laws, HERstorical DNC Reviews, some examples of what the Biden/Harris administration ACTUALLY HAS accomplished within the last 4 years and no one can ever deny, the actual truth about Trump’s tax breaks, and how the Republican Party is officially a cartoon Disney parody of itself.



    Lockdown question:

    For republicans, why DON’T you want a better planet, a better place and future for yourself and your loved ones?

    Why is that not important and a priority to humans for all humans to realistically find solutions together for the betterment and survival of all?

  • Ep. 215 - Alito Lies, Frauds & more Hypocrites…oh My.

    Ep. 215 - Alito Lies, Frauds & more Hypocrites…oh My.
    Oct 4 2024

    The Late Night Lockdown is back and our hosts, Amiee & Matthew, come back from their long summer hiatus with their last “finale” past recording from June 27, 2024 covering the Alito Lies and investigative journalist Lauren Windsor’s interview (June 13, 2024) on DemocracyNow! , the First Presidential Debate this year with THE “two old men” and the illogical deep Racism still very much embedded in America today. Everyone is exhausted and you can feel it in our daily society.


    The entertainment review portion includes Apple TVs historical dramas: “Franklin” starring Michael Douglas as the beloved Founding Father working in Paris to help the American Revolution and “The Manhunt” starring Tobias Menzies as U.S. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and Anthony Boyle as the infamous John Wilkes Booth during the aftermath of the first American presidential assassination, Abraham Lincoln, and the fight to preserve and protect the ideals that were the foundation of Lincoln's Reconstruction plans.


    Both shows are very well done and highly recommended by our hosts!


    Hmmm learning History through good tv…

    can we EVER learn from our past?

  • Ep. 213 • “The West Wing Cometh”

    Ep. 213 • “The West Wing Cometh”
    Jan 19 2024
    Our Hosts, Amiee and Matthew, are back from holiday hiatus and celebrating the start of the new year of 2024 - ELECTION Year! Let the crazy asss circus begin. Their 15 year old dog, Bella, chimes in her opinions as well. They recap with updates since the SAG-AFTRA actors strike ended, the Israel-Hamas War and the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza, Niki Haley’s embrassing audio clips about how the Civil War WAS NOT about Slavery when in fact it was EXACTLY historically about Slavery, and hence why teaching and learning ACCURATE HISTORY only behooves our society and why it is absolutely important for our society as a whole to value and protect it. It continues to be truly disturbing and frightening how WILLFULLY IGNORANT people continue to choose to be and who continue to want to take away people’s HUMAN RIGHTS. Where is our country and our society heading, especially if we DON’T speak up and out on such important issues? History does and WILL repeat itself if we keep silent. “Don’t fight back, Fight FORWARD.” ********************************* For the Entertainment segment, Amiee and Matthew review their new favorite “old” show: The West Wing on HBO•MAX and how, unfortunately, it is still SO relevant today. They also recap on their experience with their annual The Beatles holiday charity show: BOTH: A Hard Days Silent Night. Next year is the 15th Anniversary!

    Ep. 212 • Part 2 - SAG•AFTRA Q&A “Town Hall” Meeting on Tentative Agreement - Nov. 15, 2023
    Dec 17 2023
    Pre-recorded on November 15, 2023 SAG•AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild + American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) held a live stream on their YouTube Channel of the live in-person “town hall” meeting at the Los Angeles headquarters. This is Part 2 of the live recording of the Q&A discussion portion from SAG•AFTRA members and negotiators committee members where it got pretty heated at times. It was an amazing turn out and a pivotal night of all members coming together to hear the specifics of this new Tentative Agreement. However, since that day more and more information, concerns and questions have come out, especially about the Ai regulations, policies, and verbiage and a lot of artists are NOT happy with the specifics. This is a historical time for so many reasons. Who knows what the future holds but we have to try and talk about it and these episodes are a reminder of what we are up against and experiencing in this moment. Thank you for listening and supporting! It affects EVERYONE in every field because this will be the “blue print” map for a lot of businesses into the future. Ai is here. How do we work with it in a positive manner and still protect ourselves, our identities, and our jobs? This is a fact in our society now to contemplate and deal with thus moving forward. #LaborRights #HumanRights #Ai #sagaftrastrike #hollywoodhistory https://www.Instagram.com/thelatenightlockdown (@thelatenightlockdown) • https://www.Twitter.com/late_lockdown (@late_lockdown) • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelatenightlockdownpodcast
