1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to Woke f Daily with 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Daniel Moody, recording from the Home Bunker, Folks, 3 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: I want to start off on this Woke Wednesday with 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: some thoughts and then we'll go into the stories first. 5 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying this every week now, so forgive me, but 6 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: I know the feeling of exhaustion that people have because 7 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: I am literally feeling this achiness in my bones and 8 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm really doing my best to try and double and 9 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: triple down on my self care and my routines, and 10 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm finding myself faltering and also trying to give myself 11 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: grace for the times that I am faltering. And why 12 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: am I sharing that with you? Because I think that 13 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a person that when everything around me 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: starts to feel out of control, I try my best 15 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: to control everything that I can, which is not necessarily 16 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: the best because you can't control everything right, like, there 17 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: is just no way to do that. And then what 18 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: happens when when everything right starts to feel like you're 19 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: going back to old patterns or you've you know, say 20 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: you've said I'm gonna not drink or I'm gonna eat 21 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: really well, or I'm gonna work out, and just everything 22 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: starts to become super overwhelming and then you fall off 23 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: of that wagon. And that happens to me more times 24 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: than I'd like to admit, right, And what I have 25 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: learned is to rest when I'm tired, to take breaks 26 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: so that I don't have breakdowns, to remove myself from 27 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: places and spaces, and like go get some air and 28 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: take a long walk, to really connect with friends and 29 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: family if I've been kind of distant and also understanding 30 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: that folks, you know, I find it really hard sometimes 31 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: to articulate to those that are not necessarily in my business, 32 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: meaning in my industry, how draining it is to be 33 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: in politics, and draining isn't even the word, because draining 34 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: seems like, well, you just need a good night's sleep 35 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: or a vacation and then like things will go back 36 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: to normal. No. I feel crazy, exhausted, filled with grief, rage, 37 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: pretty much every emotion except for like the ones that 38 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: are good. Every time that I turn on the news 39 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm trying desperately to find hopefulness and 40 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: then you get you know, decisions that come down, which 41 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: brings me to the first story that is on my 42 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: mind today. Which is the lowering of Trump's fucking bond 43 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: on the day that Tish James was getting ready to 44 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: see to begin the process to seize properties. It's so 45 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: fucking deflating and so aggravating. How beautifully this system, this 46 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: fucking criminal justice system, is set up to work for 47 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: wealthy white men in power. And you know, we look 48 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: at it and we're like, you know, we're angry, and 49 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm seeing the tweets and I fucking like threw up 50 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: my hands that day, which was Monday, and said fuck it, 51 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: like I'm over it, Like I don't want to cover 52 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: these cases anymore. I don't give a fuck because I 53 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump is never going to prison, He's 54 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: never going to have to have any accountability for any 55 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: of his actions. We would rather in this country throw 56 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: low level drug offenders in jail for thirty years. We'd 57 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: rather throw poor people in jail because they can't afford 58 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: bail and keep them there. We would rather use our 59 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: criminal justice system to continue the harm, the torture of 60 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: black and brown people, which is what it was built for, 61 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: right And so every time that we think that Donald 62 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: Trump is going to be held accountable, I think that 63 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the reality is that he's not right and we have 64 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: to move on. I will cover what is news, but 65 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: I think that the fact is, like what the real 66 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: news is, right, isn't going to be the headline that 67 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: comes through and says Donald Trump's been convicted because he'll 68 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: just appeal, right, Donald Trump has to pay out this money, 69 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 1: He'll just appeal and he'll just run out the clock 70 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: because his lawyers know the games to play. They know 71 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: all of the loopholes inside of the system. They know, 72 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, how to maneuver, and the double speak and 73 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: all of this shit. Because for them, it's more money, 74 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: more time, more money right that they will have. And 75 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: for the rest of us, you know, we're told, well, 76 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: it's normal that you know this judgment was going to 77 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: be decreased. It's normal. Tell me what the fuck is 78 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: normal about Donald Trump? Tell me what the fuck is 79 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: normal about a Republican klu klux Klan takeover of American politics, 80 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: of our judiciary. Tell me what is normal about the 81 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: times that we've been living in for the last you know, 82 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, seven eight years. Tell me what's normal nothing. 83 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: So stop trying to apply normal rules and logistics to 84 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: a person that has said fuck you to the system. 85 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: Not only said fuck you to the system, but like 86 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: actively has continued to try and burn it down from 87 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: the outside in and the inside out. And so we 88 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: continue to apply these arbitrary bullshit rules for the preservation 89 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: or at least the perception of the preservation of some 90 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: type of legal normalcy that doesn't fucking exist. So when 91 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: I saw the judge lower his bond to one hundred 92 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: and seventy five million, I just said, fuck it, who 93 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: gives a fuck anymore? Right, Like, the justice system is 94 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: working exactly how it was designed to work for, exactly 95 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: who it was designed to work for. And that's the fact, 96 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, and I think that what else is also 97 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: true is that the other strategy is to just depress 98 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: the vote by depressing to really depressing the people. Because 99 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,119 Speaker 1: when you feel like everything is hopeless, it doesn't matter 100 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: what you do, that you have no power, no voice, 101 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: no say, you know, you become easily pliable and malleable. 102 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: And that's what the Republican klu klux Klan white supremacist 103 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: counsel is working on doing. And they're doing a great job, because, 104 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm fucking exhausted, and I know that 105 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you all are too, you know, I honestly, I say 106 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: to my friend's advent, I don't know how people listen 107 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: to me all the time. This is not me advocating 108 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: for you to, like, you know, not up your subscription 109 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: or not continue listening to the show. But I struggle 110 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: to listen to the news, which will be my story 111 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: number two, because nothing good has come of it, right, 112 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: And the reality is that the only thing that is 113 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: going to hold Donald Trump accountable is us is people 114 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: voting in November. To keep democracy, to keep abortion in 115 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: blue states at least you have some access to it, 116 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: to you know, keep voting right and free and fair elections, 117 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: to keep democracy, to keep some semblance of bodily autonomy. 118 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: All of that will go with a Trump two point 119 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: zero regime. Right, Like they're telling us everything that they're 120 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: going to do, we don't have to fucking guess. They've 121 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: taken away the guessing work. So it's just like if 122 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: people don't come out to vote, because by the time 123 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: November rolls around, you are exhausted and depleted and just 124 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: like hopeless, then they win, then they've won. So, you know, 125 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: I do want to say something somebody I posted in 126 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: my comment section to a post that I said, where 127 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: I said, I feel like, you know, we always learned 128 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: about fallen empires in school, but we never learned about 129 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: what was happening while they were falling. And I said, well, 130 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: now we know, right, because we are living inside of 131 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: a falling empire and where you have this deep sense 132 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: of unease where every day is something new being taken 133 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: away or ruined, right, and you still trying to convince 134 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: yourself like, no, no, no, America can come back, America 135 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: can come back. No, actually, it's not ever going to 136 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: come back the way that we knew it. Right, What 137 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: we are trying to do right now was just to 138 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: hold on so that these right wing, rabid Republicans don't 139 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: burn down the country in a way that makes it 140 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: possible for the next fifty years for anything to grow, 141 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: because that's what they're doing. And so what I say 142 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: to folks, somebody in the comment section said I'm going 143 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: to take a break from politics, and somebody said, right now, 144 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: are you crazy, like you're gonna take a break now. 145 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: I would rather you fucking take a break now than 146 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: take a break in November. I would rather, folks, tap 147 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: out right for a couple of months and get right 148 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: back in, you know, come August. Because if you need 149 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: a break so that you don't lose your fucking mind 150 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: and then don't opt out of the election, then take 151 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: a fucking break. I'm never gonna be one of those 152 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: people that says, no, you got to stay in it. 153 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: You gotta stay miserable, you gotta cry at everything, you 154 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: gotta be rageful all the time. You got to spend 155 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: all of that energy. No, I'm not gonna say that. 156 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: What I'm going to say is that if you're going 157 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: to take a break, then to you know, if you 158 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: have the resources to be able to donate, to be 159 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: able to support or independent media like myself and others 160 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: who don't get paid by the mainstream but do their 161 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: best to try and continue to have conversations with the 162 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: folks that are willing to support their voice. So if 163 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: you have friends and family and colleagues around you that 164 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: are like, I'm tapping out, then say like, look, you know, 165 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: tap out of this, but tap into WOKF Daily, tap 166 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: into you know, a muckraker, tap into you know, other 167 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: shows and other individuals that are like doing the work 168 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: right that mainstream media refuses to do. And if you 169 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: need to take a break, do that, right, but find 170 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: another way to support that. Doesn't, you know, harm your 171 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: mental health. That's the real work, right Because I do believe, folks, 172 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for a long time, that 173 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: I do think that things are going to get worse 174 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: before they get better. I remember saying this way way 175 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: way way back on Serious XM. You know, say saying 176 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: that things are going to get bloodier before they get better. 177 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: And that, folks, was in twenty seventeen, and here we 178 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty four. So it's not great. It's 179 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: not great. But again, if you need to take a break, 180 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: I encourage you to do that now and find other 181 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: ways to support that, don't challenge your mental health. Let 182 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: me now turn to fucking mainstream media and the uproar 183 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: that has happened over NBC News deciding to hire Ronna 184 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: Romney McDaniel. I never agree with fucking Chuck Todd, and 185 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: I think that Chuck Todd has been part of the 186 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: fucking problem in journalism. And so when you have lost 187 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: Chuck Todd and he is talking about the credibility of 188 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: this network being challenged because of them deciding to bring 189 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: in an alecching Denier a fucking January sixer so that 190 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: they can have access because they think that if they 191 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: play well with the devil, the devil won't burn them. 192 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Are you dumb? So he comes out on Meet the 193 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: Press and you know, says that the CEOs and you know, 194 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: the folks, their bosses, oh, Christen Welker, and apology for 195 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: putting her in such a horrible, you know position, with 196 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: having Roni McDaniel on after they decided to pay her 197 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars to become a contributor. And now 198 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: there are rumors that because of all of the pushback 199 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: and because of Rashida Jones, who's the president of MSNBC, 200 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: saying she will not be on our airwaves. But yet 201 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: you approve the deal to begin with, you thought it 202 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: was a good idea. Then why don't you think it's 203 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: a good idea now? Oh, because all of your talent 204 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: is saying that they will not have her on air, 205 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: and you can't fire all of them, you know, the 206 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: way that he did Mehdi Hassan, I'm just so over it, 207 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying. I'm over the fucking 208 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: disgusting revolving door between the MAGA world and mainstream media. 209 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: They bash mainstream media saying it's liberal when it's totally 210 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: fucking not, because there is a revolving door that comes 211 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: with these administrations. And the fucking thing is we're in 212 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: this position because of mainstream media and they continue to 213 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: just get worse. And my co host of Democracy Ish, 214 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: my friend Wajahat Ali you know, tweeted and said, you know, 215 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: you'll pay Roni McDaniel, but when it comes to black 216 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: and brown talent, there is never any money. Kurt Bardella, 217 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: friend of the show, also tweeted that you know why, 218 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: because people like us when you see me on MSNBC, 219 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: understand that I am not being paid. I go on 220 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: MSNBC when I think that I have something to say 221 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: and to offer that has a larger reach, Right, So 222 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing it as part of my work, but I 223 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: don't get paid for it like work. I never have. 224 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: For all of the years that I have been on MSNBC, 225 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: which at this point is about ten years, I've never 226 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: once been approached about a contributorship. But I have watched 227 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: them give contributorships to less talented white Republicans on a 228 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: regular fucking basis. I have watched them ghetto wise, right 229 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: the weekend shows, which is where you see all of 230 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: the hosts of color except for Joy Reid, who is 231 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: the only person of color in their lineup, who is 232 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: until seven pm. From Morning Joe until seven pm. There 233 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: are no people of color hosting anybody that you see 234 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: right that is a person of color that comes on 235 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: that show unless it says MSNBC Legal Analyst, MSNBC political contributor. 236 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: If it just says that person's name, they're coming on 237 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: for free, which is a majority of the fucking people 238 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: that are coming on. It's a continuation of a slap 239 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in the face. I said this. You know at the 240 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: end of the Trump administration that no one that had 241 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: that campaign or that administration on their resume should be 242 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: employable outside of Fox and Oaan and whatever other type 243 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: of right wing conspiracy fucking outlets. To legitimize them and 244 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: to whitewash them through mainstream media makes them now credible, Right, 245 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: These people that spent their years lying to our faces 246 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: and supporting a criminal and now you want to have 247 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: them on Dancing with the Stars, in NBC News and 248 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: The View and other places and think that like people 249 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 1: don't get it. And so the outrage that folks are 250 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: receiving now and they're saying, oh, they're gonna NBC is 251 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna rescind the offer and blah blah blah. I hope 252 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: the fuck that they do, you know, but they never 253 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: should have extended it in the first place. And this 254 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: kind of foot seas that they want to keep playing 255 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: with fascists isn't going to land them anywhere. They're not 256 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: going to be liked anymore. Pick me, pick me Donald, like, oh, 257 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, if you were to become president, like, we'll 258 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: play nice with you. No, you fucking won't. And you 259 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: know why, because he's going to shut you down regardless. 260 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: So it's just, you know, the anger that I had 261 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: at that announcement and the pushback. I wish that, I 262 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: will say this, I wish that the people that are 263 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: so adamant about Roni McDaniel not being on NBC News, 264 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: I wish they were as adamant when Mehdi his son 265 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: was being wrongfully terminated. You know, I wish that a 266 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: person of color, a Muslim, who is one of the 267 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: best interviewers I have ever seen, was given that kind 268 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: of support internally by his fellow colleagues who would have 269 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: gone on air and said him being fired is absolutely outrageous. 270 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: I wish that they would have done that for Tiffany Cross, right. 271 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: I wish way back in the day that they would 272 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: have done it for Melissa Harris Perry right. Like, It's 273 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: just it's amazing, folks. And you know, I could list 274 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: off a bunch of names of people who once had shows, 275 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: had platforms and were shut down. But white mainstream media 276 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: will bring back, you know, Jeffrey Tuban on CNN after 277 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: he's caught like fondling himself on a call, but you 278 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: won't hire back Mark Lamont Hill, a scholar on Palestine 279 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: and Palestine and Israel. Like it is wild, do you 280 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? But you understand that mainstream media 281 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: is complicit in the fuckery. They're complicit and they perpetuate 282 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: it on a regular basis, which is why I say 283 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: often support independent media, support people who believe in what 284 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: they say and will tell you the truth and work 285 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: off of something called integrity as well as passion, because 286 00:19:52,160 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: those two things don't exist in corporate media. Folks. We're 287 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: in tough, tough, tough tough times, and they continue to 288 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: get worse. You know. Right now as I'm speaking, the 289 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is hearing the case on MiFi pristone, mif 290 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: of pristone, the abortion pill that was approved by the 291 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: FDA twenty three years ago and whose usage is now 292 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: being challenged, which means that if they overturn the use 293 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: of MEFA pristone, the FDA loses its teeth, loses its 294 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: ability to confirm medication. That you know, the Supreme Court, 295 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: those those nine unelected black robes, get to decide what 296 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: you put in your mouth, what you don't, what you 297 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, whether you have a baby, whether you don't. 298 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: We're in dark times.
