WEBVTT - Pouring From an Empty Cup

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Willkate f Daily with

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, Recording from the Home Bunker, Folks.

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>For the last couple of months, we have had the

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>awesome pleasure of being joined by my friend, the Reverend

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Mark Thompson and host of Make It Plain. And each

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>month that Mark and I sit down, we go over

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>our host of issues that we think are going to

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>be impacting how people will be turning out for mid terms,

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and this conversation was pre taped before the breaking news

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>around Donald Trump's home being searched and how that will

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>impact midterms. But Mark and I do get into a

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>conversation about, you know, the Biden administration and being held

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to account for the people that got Biden into office.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>This was prerecorded before the Biden administration had a series

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>of legislative wins which we had not seen since the

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this administration, and the initial rollout of vaccines

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>as well as the economic package to help those most

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in need during COVID, which we are still in. But

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark and I do get into a fifty thousand foot

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>conversation about democratic messaging and also about where we are

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the case against Britney Griner in Russia

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that has now she has now been sentenced to nine

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>years in a Russian prison. There are still talks apparently

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>that are happening between Russia and the United States for

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a prisoner swap, but we do know that those things

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>can take months, if not years. My hope, my God,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>is that you know, Britney Grinder will not be as

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>destroyed human by the time that we are able to

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>get her back to the United States. I do believe

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that we will be able to get her back, God willing,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 1>but I hope that it isn't to see a ruined

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:17.119
<v Speaker 1>and fragile and tortured Brittney Griner. And so we talk

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>about that and the effects that that case is having

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Biden administration and whether or not they have

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>been and are continuing to do enough, because it is

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>really difficult for US folks to detach not only race

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>from this case and gender, but also sexual orientation and

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>all of those layers, playing into the fact that if

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>this had been you know, a white male NBA player,

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>would there have not been more public outcry, Would there

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>had not been more public response from this administration. We

0:02:54.160 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>can't help, but you know use past history as our guide,

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>which is that you know, when things relate to black women,

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>this country could give a fuck right. They're banning abortions

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>in places, and we have a maternal mortality rate of

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>one in five. Black women that go into a fucking

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>hospital may not come out right. So we know that

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>this country cares very little about black women, and we

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>have known that since its creation. So how is that

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>playing into what we are seeing with Brittney Griner is

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a conversation that Mark and I get into. But as

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I leave you folks this week, I do believe that

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have momentum that we have not seen before. I

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>do believe that we are living in absolutely extraordinarily unprecedented times.

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>From dealing with the reality of three different viruses that

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>are attacking this country and two of which are also

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>attacking the world monkey Pops and COVID, we are living

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with unprecedented climate change that is literally washing away people's

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>homes or setting them on fire. We are living at

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a time when you know there is a serial killer

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that is going around New Mexico killing Muslim men. Authorities

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>believe that they have picked up that person. They believe

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that person to be a person of interest and their motivation.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>As of this time of this recording, we do not know.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 1>We know that we have a Republican party that is

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>a white supremist, fascist party that no longer believes in

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 1>democracy or the rule of law applying to anyone, whether

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>that is a congressional subpoena or a fucking FBI warranted search, right,

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that everyone believes that Republicans and white people are just

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>above the law and should have a whole set of

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>different laws, if any, that applied to them. You know,

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just coming off the dome, on top of you

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>vote of suppression, on top of the overturning of Rov Wade,

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>like on top of funny, as Leslie and I had

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>remarked earlier in the week, you know, the earth actually

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>spinning faster for the first time ever in our history,

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and the day's getting shorter. So I don't know if

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>we're just part of the leftovers, right and like the

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>apocalypse has happened, No idea, But I do know that

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>we need to be able to find joy, take breaks,

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>take breaths on a regular basis because our nervous system,

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just the unsettledness, the uncertainty that we are living in

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is crazy. It's fucking crazy, and it's why, folks, I'm

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>taking a couple of days to go and be with friends,

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and at the end of this month, I will also

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>be taking a week off before we get into the

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>craziness of the fall, because I recognize that even though

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the news never stops and everything keeps breaking, that if

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I do not take a break, I in fact will

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>have a breakdown. And I appreciate so many of you

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that send me tweets and dms and are really prayerful

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and just meditative on sending me positive energy, you know,

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to keep myself healthy and saying, and I send that energy,

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>meditation and prayer right back at all of you because

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I know that you listen to this show and you

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>show up for Woke a f and for me, because

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you believe in democracy, because you believe in your responsibility

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>as citizens to this country, and sometimes the responsibility of

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>citizenship waghs really fucking heavy, like it is right now

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that some days I would rather just not care. I

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>would rather just you know, bury my head in the

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>sand and pretend all of this isn't happening and go

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>about my day. But there is just no way for

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>what is transpiring to not affect us right, So, whether

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we are actively dealing with it or as I talked

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>about a couple of weeks ago, you know, this stress

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that kind of is just laying in the back of

0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>our minds because we're never able to fully relax, right.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And the reason is because since Donald Trump has ended

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>down those fucking stairs, you know, we have been living

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>with that ambient stress, that stress that you know, we

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to meet head on day in and

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>day out. We just know that we don't feel right.

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>We know that we feel uneasy, and we can't necessarily

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>every single day put our fingers on it. And what

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to say is that ignoring it is going

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to be a bigger problem than actually meeting these issues

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>head on and figuring out what are the tactics, the

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>self care tactics that I need to be layering myself

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>in and building into a daily routine in order to

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>keep me sane and in order to keep me healthy. Right,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Because even when we have these winds, which this administration

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>has had recently, I'm too scared to be excited about

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it because I'm just anticipating the other shoe dropping, and

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that is no way to live. So if you have

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the ability and the privilege to be able to take

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a break before we get ready to go back to

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>school not knowing what the fuck that's going to bring,

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>or get ready to go back to work or what

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have you, please do take time for yourself, even if

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it is a day that you say, you know what,

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what, my vacation is going to be turning

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>off every single social media app and just focusing on

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>real life and real people for one whole day. Because

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you that the times that I am

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>able to take a break and leave this behind, I

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>feel renewed, right, I feel re energized. I feel like

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving myself the strength that is necessary to continue

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>pushing on. And I want that for all of us,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>because we are all needed in every single capacity that

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>we are able to show up in. Doesn't matter if

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you have a microphone or not. It matters that you

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>care and that you want the people around you to care,

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>right and in order for that to happen, we need

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to care for ourselves. And so as I bid you

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>ado on this day and pick it up on the

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>other side of the week, remember that your self care

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>comes before everything else, because it is a thing that

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>allows us to continue pushing along. We cannot, as my

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:32.320

<v Speaker 1>always so be every month that I get to sit

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>down with my friend the Reverend Mark Thompson, host of

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Make It Plain to Yes, make it woke, and make

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it plain for us about what we are headed into

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of months as we make the

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>slow march to midterms and beyond. Mark, I want to

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>start off today with you know, I never get to

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>actually marinate in good news, and as it turns out,

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly so is Kansas the new Bellweather State? Is this

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the new state that we need to be paying attention to?

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Because out of shock to me but not to others

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>who have seen Kansas as more of a moderate and

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>not so much of a red red state, they completely

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>and totally rebuffed the Republican parties push to rewrite their

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>constitution and and overturn access to abortion in that state.

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Now are everyone is saying, oh, Democrats, we think we

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>have a winning issue for you. What did you make

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of the people of Kansas and they're pushback against abortion? Well,

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's finally white women and their allies in

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a red state getting it. I think for years, all

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.839
<v Speaker 1>the conversation about row and row being on the block

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and being in jeopardy, for those of us who were

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>saying it, we're seeing, as chicken little the sky has fallen.

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Now it has actually happened. And just like in sports

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and politics, there's something called an unforced error. I think

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the GOP has made a grave mistake thinking that. But

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>they believe they own press, and their own press is

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Fox News, and Fox News tells them every day that

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>this is what the American public wants, and this is

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>not what the American public wants. Kansas has proved that

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I wish abortions were on every ballot in November. If

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>so Democrats, Democrats would win resoundingly. So I think this

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is a wake up called Republicans. But also, as you said,

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we need some good news. It ought to serve as

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>an inspiration to Democrats of what we can get done

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>if we stick together, that the issues that we support

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>all the issues many other Americans support, and that we're

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>on the right side of this struggle. And I think

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that that's pretty much the way it's going to go.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think I mentioned this to you before. Normally

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the party in power lose a ceasin them in terms.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>But Democrats really are not the party in power, even

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>though Binds the president. We're not the Supreme Court. The

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 1>right wing Supreme Court is the branch in power. Is

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the party in power. Republicans, who are filibustering everything in

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>the Senate are the party in power. And so I

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>think that our base is getting that. I think, look,

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just likely it's channing. It took a Republican white

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.599
<v Speaker 1>woman to get Democrats to focus on January sixth to

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the point where it is now and it's helping. It

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>took a Republican Republican white women collectively in Kansas. Maybe

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it inspires because let's face it, and you've talked about

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>this a lot um. I don't want to sound just

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like you because I don't have at the time band

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>with getting as trouble as you've been getting into. I

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>got I'm barn enough crosses. I want to bear your

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>cross right now. I did pick your cross up later

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and help you. Uh you know it's it's in a

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>babble some a couple of people help Jesus care to cross.

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying I'm not gonna help Danielle care her cross journey.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But um, let me say this as diplomatically as possible.

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Um Democratic Party leadership, and I shouldn't even say that.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>The consultant class Democratic Party, for whatever reason, fields they

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta listen to even speech other they didn't say the

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>word abortion. So so you do you are in what

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty six, nineteen ninety one, this is twenty twenty,

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. I'm sorry, twenty twenty two. This is twenty

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. So you can say abortion. That's where it's at.

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Stop being afraid to say the word. But the consultant class,

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>who does not know what it's doing, is advising not

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to do that. The consultant classes becap. They told this Cheney,

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe we shouldn't have a committee, maybe we shouldn't have hearings,

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And she had to tell him. She said, why don't

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>y'all stand up? It took a Nick Cheney's daughter to

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>tell them to stand up for so, you know, I

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>hope that this lets people know on our side they

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>can stand up, and if it doesn't, let the leadership know,

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it lets the rank and file, the constituents know to

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>make the leadership stand up and stop being scared of

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>their own shadow. This is a This is a big victory, big, huge,

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>devastating to the Republican Party, and I think it foretells

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>what more can come if we hold a lot. You know.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 1>The funny thing is is that the punding class has

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>been saying that Republicans are the dog that caught the

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>car right for forty some odd plus years. They've been

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>one Roe v. Wade overturned, one Roe v. Wade overturned

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>forty some ide years. They've had their white evangelical Christian base,

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, telling holding up those signs of mutilated fetuses

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and this, that and the other thing. And now they

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>got their wish, right, they got their wish and now

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you are seeing these red states. It's not enough to

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>say that you don't have access to abortion. Now we're

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>going to criminalize women. Now we're gonna throw We're gonna

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>throw women and people with uteruses in jail. We're going

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to monitor your menstrual cycle. But so that like if

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you're going to New York, we know that you're going

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on vacation and not going for an abortion or going

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>for business. And I think that do you believe Mark,

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>it is this kind of owort, no exceptions, not rape,

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>not incests. I mean, they're even having conversations. I can't

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>believe my mind that they're having conversations about a ten

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 1>year old becoming a mother, about a thirteen year old

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>being able to be a parent, and they think that

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>that shit is normal. And so do you think that

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>it was this that was the overreach for white women

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>who were, like they've been voting. I mean we talk

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 1>about this all the time. They've been voting with their

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>white men since the beginning of time, right, Like, they

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>have not voted Democrat, they don't split. But in this

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>instance voter registration in Kansas, seventy percent of new voters

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>were women, right that signed up? So do you think

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that it is about the egregious nature and the criminality

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that white Republican men are I think this around that

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>has pushed white women a little too far. I think so,

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 1>and I think again, it's about autonomy, women's bodily autonomy.

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>And when you put that right in front, I mean

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it's really there's no other way to spend what they've done.

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 1>They are very clear about controlling women's bodies, and you

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>have to be pretty self enslaved to be in denial

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>about that, even if you lied to everybody on outside,

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when you clearly in the mirror as a woman, you

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>cannot deny what it's going. And then they've announced, thanks

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to hangs here, uncle town Clarence Thomas. Well next we're

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 1>coming for contraception. Next we're coming for marriage equality in

0:18:54.640 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 1>two issues that are important women. So really, you you don't.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't leave a lot of wiggle rooms. So I

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>think what's happening now is, as I said, what we

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>have been saying, even what Hillary said was going to

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>happen has actually happened. Nobody believed it. Oh, y'all have

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>been saying that years. They're not really gonna do it.

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I see, for exam, you take Susan Collins and Canon

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>telling me he's not you c and then he lied

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to me. But to think about there a lot of

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>white women as ignorant as Susan Collins, which really is

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>disqualified for being in the Senate. You know. And I

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's worse, uh uh um, pretend lying about it,

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>if she lied about whether or not she believed Kavanaugh

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>or really being I don't know. I don't know what's worse, really,

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with Yeah, I every reason to believe

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 1>she actually believed him. I think she did too, which

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to me actually makes it worse. But it goes to

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 1>your point, why would you believe him? Because we you know,

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>we believe our white husbands, we believe our white men.

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>We trust these whiteman. I trust this young white man.

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But your friend and mine, Marcos, a daily coach, He

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>says something to me, there was also someone controversial. I'm

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>not gonna carry his cross either on the show. I'm

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>avoiding y'all's crosses. He said, you got your own, Yeah,

0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I got Um. I'm saying to see you and I

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>want y'all hitter is. And I'm when I say, I

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna agree with me. But Marco says something deep, right,

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>He said, Markel men take something two women and and

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this is his category. Now again the two major constituencies

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:48.160
<v Speaker 1>that will determine the election black vote. Suburban college educated

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 1>white women, that's it. That's that golden ticket. Suburban college

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that's Willy Wonka factory. Suburban college educated white woman. That's

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 1>what helped Trump get in. He said, Mark's people that said,

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 1>suburban college educated white women. That ain't just about their daughters.

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 1>He said, Mark, that's about their sons. This is what

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.679
<v Speaker 1>you mean, said, these surban college educated away with these

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>soccer moms raise these you know, these golden boys. They

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 1>raise their sons and they want to send to college

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and be successful. And little boys get little girls knocked up.

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, So ukn't have no not having no options.

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I didn't thin about They said, no,

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>ain't just about daughters. Them women don't want their little

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>boys called out there because it ain't paying for them babies, right,

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you feel me? So? So he said, when you look

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 1>at all of that, all right, it's what everybody he

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>was saying. Suburban college educated white women who have daughters,

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that's wanting. But suburban college gets educated white women who

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:53.199
<v Speaker 1>have sons. This affects everybody. It affects if you are

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>controlling everybody's life by making these decisions about what women

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 1>ought to be with their bodies. So, um, hey, I

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>think that this is this is this is real Kansas,

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and see other states are gonna look at it. And

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.440
<v Speaker 1>again I think I said this last time. I was

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>do you see his a little mystery that we haven't solved?

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And I keep saying whenever I say this to people

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 1>who pushed back to get real quiet. Rapinsburger testified before

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Januars six committee, Trump called him and needs you to

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>find me a living dnod in Livenent Vook residents, why

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I can't find you them? Thousand of those news that

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>we're not can you find him? Dude? Because thirty three

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand Georgia Republicans did not vote for president at all,

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't vote for you at all. That's before Danielle they knew,

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that's before January six. What was going on in November

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty that thirty three thousand Georgia Republicans wouldn't

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>vote for Donald Trump? We all ask ourselves, like, why

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 1>did Joe Biden? So that means and I bet they're

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 1>having a few other states. There was already some folks saying, hey,

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't get with this dude. He little wut they

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.159
<v Speaker 1>were doing that. So now you've got everything that's happened

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 1>since November twenty twenty, right, you got this Jane where

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 1>six coming out and if Merrick Garland I knew, don't

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 1>get into this Mary Garland because a black woman pushed him.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Our friend Priston Clark had the courage to prosecute the

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>officers who killed Brianna Taylor. If he would only have

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the courage to prosecute Trump, well, I don't want to prosecute.

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:35.199
<v Speaker 1>You're a prosecuting the president. You're prosecuting someone who's committing

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>crimes outside of the presidency. Al capone, you get him

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>on what you can get him on. If he would

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>only prosecute Trump on witness tampering currently yep, and mail

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>fraud like they did to Andrew gillim yep, two hundred

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 1>million dollars on stop to Steel, then what are you doing.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 1>You're actually getting his constituency behind you, because then his

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 1>argument he's a deal Jake, And say all y'all who

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 1>sent Trump that turned fifteen dollars won't getting money back

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>for you because that money was not used properly. Even

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the most staunched problems with the way. Wait a minute,

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I get my money that I ain't got no gas money.

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes we get some under back thing. I don't care.

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So if if, if Gland would just do that which

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 1>he's afraid to do. Is interesting though, if you notice

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 1>even safe Meal in mouth milktoast Democrats who said he

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be prosecuted now saying he should be. He should

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>be prosecuted. You got beyond Panetta saying as a conspiracy.

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>He never said the word conspiracy in his eighty years

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of life. So so so, what I'm saying is this

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is an opportunity they get. Role was a gift more

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 1>than we know. And I'm telling you we're close to

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>getting get codified at as law Democrats would have. Senate

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be law now. Mansion and sentiment, you're gonna

0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>get him off that filibuster. Suburban college educated white women

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>called Joe Biden in Spain, and he was old infanato.

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe Bidden says, I'll never get rid of the filibuster.

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>They called him in Spain and hey man, miss president,

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>good morning, how are you to days? You are now

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in favor of filibuster reform. The codified roles, have a

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>nice day. Joe Badden went out before the press and said,

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm now in favor of modern fan of filibuster because suburban,

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>college educated white women called him and told him to

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>do it. So this is the power that they have.

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully they'll exercise it as they did in Kansas in November.

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>So staying on the topic of the Department of Justice,

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>because Merritt Garland pisses me off, and anybody who listens

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to walkaf knows that on a regular basis that I'm

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 1>sitting around much like you, much like everybody else with

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>goddamn sense, waiting for Merritt Garland to do exactly what

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it is that you just said. Prosecute Donald Trump for

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.399
<v Speaker 1>the crimes that he is committed. Don't give me bumper

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 1>sticker slogans telling me that nobody is above the law,

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>because if you had the mount everest of evidence that

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you had against any other person in these United States,

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they would have been indicted from seventeen months ago. But

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to look at what the Department of Justice

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 1>has done recently, which is decide to go after the

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>four police officers involved in the murder of Brianna Taylor

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>who was sleeping in her own goddamn bed when her

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 1>door was busted open and her apartment building was shot

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>up and she was murdered. Now, if folks remember, there

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was no we're not going to investigate. There was a

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>black DA who is a Republican, This, that, and the

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 1>other thing. The family ends up ends up being awarded

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>monetary damages for her death, but again no criminal charges.

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>The Department of Justice has finally changed that. What do

0:26:55.480 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you make of this now, Mark, that's huge? Is huge. Again,

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>if our sister Christy, and this is why representation matters.

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>This is why you know, when we fight for some

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 1>of the things we fight for, we want people that

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>look like us. They had the perspective. There's a black

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 1>woman who's the sister Attorney General for civil rights, Kristin

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Clark former, he had the largest committed to civil rights

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>on the law. She saw this through, she got the prosecution. Then.

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this was Merritt Garland, but he has

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to support it. Now. No, this is a very big deal,

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's what people are looking for. In fact, the

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 1>dj is probably doing Biden a favor by even getting

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 1>this done. But this is a very very important piece

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of prosecution. You can tell that they did not announce it.

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>They took their time to announce it, to have the

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to gather all the evidence and to make the

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 1>strongest case possible. You're right, this sister was in her home.

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 1>There's no reason why she should be dead. This I

0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>think is an open, open and shut case. Again though,

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and to me an even easier case is the case

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 1>to try Donald Trump for e either witness tampering or

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I get it. You know they're afraid Biden, the consultants

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Garland are afraid of setting a precedent so that from

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>now on, whatever the the the successor party will prosecute

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 1>the previous party's president. I get that that's what they

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to set up. UM. But I think these

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:35.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a different situation if you confine it. UM.

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I do think it's it's probably more complicated to charge

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump with treason and sedition, um. But witness tampering. So

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the people think you go to trials like it's on TV,

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not go to trial. Did he call you and

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 1>threaten you not testifying? Yes? Did he call yes? Yes?

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 1>That goes to the jury. That's a yes question. And

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of evidence. It's just did he call you.

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>We got the evidence and the record of the call.

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>That's it. He's done. He's done. On the money, we

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>got the records. Did y'all send him money, munty? Yes?

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 1>What did he spend the money on himself? Himself? So,

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are these things are black and white.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>But apparently the DOJ is fearful of doing that. But

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 1>what we also need to know too, is that the

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>DOJ is not monolithic. Their career prosecutors that are in there.

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And when my sources tell me even on Andrew Giller prosecution,

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Mary Garden didn't know about it, that he sought on

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>news like everybody else did. So there is some level

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.080
<v Speaker 1>of autonomy when it comes to prosecutors in the deal.

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>So I don't so I don't know, But he's still

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the attorney general, so I don't know whether or not.

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, Juliani revealed that he himself had

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>even caused splits in communities within the DJ and the FBI.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So Donald Trump even tore up the DJ. I mean, really,

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that might be another polish for prosecution, and you call

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>sedition within the own law enforcement agencies of the United

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>States government. I mean, we ask you Giuliani for that

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>lock him up there, which which they have decided not

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to with that, but that just recently. But that was

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that was for his involvement um with Russia and his

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>interference with Russia being a being an asset um. You

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>know the other thing though here too when you talk

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>about all of these agencies and the corruption. Right, we

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>got the missing text messages, right, we got the We

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 1>got the watchdog who then decided that like, oh no,

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't need to do a backup, we don't need

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to alert Congress, we don't need to do these things.

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, hello, DJ, paging Merrick Garland. Again, this

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't How many coincidences do you need to equal equal

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>corruption is the question. But last thing for you, Mark

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>is on Brittany Griner, who, in my humble opinion, did

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>not receive the type of attention is still is now

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>it's starting to bubble up back to the service now

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that she has been sentenced. And this sham trial that

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Russia put on where we knew it was a sham trial.

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Everybody who's either been inside of Russia or been on

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the receiving end of one of these sentences and just

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 1>release home will tell all of us this, how do

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you feel that we need to proceed as black folks

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>in the media, as the media in general, to continue

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to put a spotlight on her and her plight so

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>she's not forgotten. You're really trying to get me in

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 1>trouble now, Yes, you need to ask Medas off there,

0:31:52.200 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But let me try to put this diplomatically. One time recently,

0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>there was an growing movement for people to get out

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>in the streets on behalf of Brittany Grinder. I remember

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened was that the Biden administration realized what was

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>happening and then woke up the little slow to things.

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>They woke up and then they convinced many that a

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>movement in the streets that was too loud or too

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>confrontational would in greater Now, if the movement that got

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>started and then stopped got Biden to get off his

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>rusted dust to do something, then it served It's good. Literally,

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>were just on a call for an hour today, was

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>from a very prominent civil rights organization begging me to

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>give them, you know, the justification to get back down

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the streets. I said, well, you know, I don't think

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's what's desirable right now, and I think it's going

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to be very difficult to get people behind that because

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the argument is nobody wants to do anything to hurt Brittain.

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm the last person who would say not

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to do something. But it's complicated because you don't want

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to hurt her, and so you don't really know. I

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 1>think that I think the original mistake was from the beginning,

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the White House lad people to believe that they were

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 1>going to do something that they never did it. So

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and they asked people at the beginning to be quiet.

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>We got this, they didn't had any do squat. So

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>for months everybody was quiet. Then many of us say

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>we finished being quiet. Then when people started making those

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>White House came back, Oh, you're right, we're about to

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>do something. Go back to being quiet again. So now,

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>technically the sentence thing was should be supposed to be

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 1>a formality to get to the next step of negotiation

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to end political imprisonment. Who's asked that is the release

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 1>of the merchant of death m Victor Bout For that

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to happen, Biden has agreed to. Yep, So what's the

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>hold of I mean, it ought to be. I mean

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.800
<v Speaker 1>these because they want they want another one. They decided

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that they wanted another one, and this the other person

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>that they want, who was actually a convicted murderer who

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>is serving time in Germany. So isn't even underneath the

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>United States is purview? Which is just stupid? Um is

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:47.840
<v Speaker 1>was their follow up? What's their follow up? Asked what

0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they need to go ahead and get that. They need

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:51.279
<v Speaker 1>to call Germany now called you and just get the

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 1>person released too, because I'm like, it doesn't matter, right,

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Like to me, it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm like, Okay,

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they want their murderers back, great, give them to them,

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>let them have them. And you know, I don't know

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that these individuals ever really were a threat to the

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>United States. And knowing the CIA the way we do,

0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the United States could release them and then

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.360
<v Speaker 1>kill them on inside a week later they wanted to.

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so that's what they do, and they and

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they've infiltrated some of the circles in the Kremlin,

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>so if they want, they can release them and take

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>them out. So I think that they just need to

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do that. We need Brittany home. I think there's another

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>victor of people want. No one likes the idea of

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>seeing a woman, an African American woman, locked up in

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:41.399
<v Speaker 1>a Russian prison for nine years. I don't think that's

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:47.680
<v Speaker 1>something that people can stomach. So while the DJ is

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:51.640
<v Speaker 1>prosecuting the four officers involved in Brianna Taylor's death, we

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 1>can't stop there. We need Brittany Ryanner released yesterday. And

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 1>until Brittany Grinner is free, none of us free. We

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:06.680
