WEBVTT - The Morning After 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:17.800 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ok F Daily. Folks. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:24.320 I am not going to sugarcode or reach for platitudes 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:30.120 or try and tell us that, you know, we must 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.080 roll up our sleeves and fight. What I'm going to 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:38.000 share on today's show is a live that I did 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:44.160 the morning after because I wanted to bring people into community, 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.920 but to have real talk. If you're not in a 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:51.640 place for real talk about who America is and where 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.640 we find ourselves, then this episode is not going to 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.480 be for you because it is not an episode where 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:03.000 I am talking about self care. Where I'm talking about 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.279 I'm talking about real ship. And again, this is taken 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:14.240 from my life that I did following the results, so 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:22.520 take it in folks. First off, we are in absolute 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:33.600 and total mourning those of us that have been working, marching, donating, speaking, 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:40.759 using our platforms creating. Today is a really dark day. 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.920 And I said, and I've been saying for the last 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.480 couple of days, to give yourself and the people around 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:55.200 you grace. And I say that because what has been 0:01:55.560 --> 0:02:03.240 triggered in this country is astounding. I think that we 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.000 all wanted to believe that America is better than it is. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.440 I think that we wanted to believe, as I did, 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.440 as you've heard me say time and time again, that oh, 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.760 it's thirty percent of the country. It's thirty percent that 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.320 is aligned with Donald Trump and white supremacy and misogyny, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.320 and it's not. We see that now. And I think 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.799 that what the hiccup was between twenty sixteen and twenty 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:35.160 twenty four was COVID was the fact that five hundred 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.519 thousand people had died by the time that Donald Trump 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:44.520 had left office, and people were scared, and he told 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.480 them to inject bleach and light and you know, every 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.440 type of idiotic thing to do that would put their 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.440 lives and those around them in danger. He said to 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.680 open up and liberate places and all of these things. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:03.760 And people chose their lives in twenty twenty In twenty 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.200 twenty four, white people chose themselves. And I'm going to 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.520 be very clear, honest and blunt. I woke up this 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.560 morning and I already started losing followers. And I'm okay 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.639 with that because what we all now stand to lose 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:25.120 in the coming months and years ahead are things that 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.640 we're not even going to be able to wrap our 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.960 minds around. For those in the comment section right now 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:39.560 that are saying that their children are in danger. They 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:46.800 are We're all in danger. We're in danger because Project 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.640 twenty twenty five and Donald Trump told us what their 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.280 plans were, so we know what is coming, we know 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.600 what to expect. It has been very clear. Donald Trump 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:03.600 and the millions of Americans that supported him have told 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:10.240 us that their priority, their number one priority is collective 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.920 suffering and pain for those that do not love like them, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.479 look like them, or pray like them. Elon Musk said 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.719 that America is going to need to go through necessary 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.600 hardship in the short term in order to have long 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.000 term prosperity. When I look at some of the exit 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.040 poll numbers, which I'm really not going to trouble myself 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.080 with and neither should you. But the accuracy is that 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.320 in twenty sixteen, a majority of white women voted for 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.599 Donald Trump. In twenty twenty they did it again, and 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.599 in twenty twenty four they did it yet again. This 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.920 election is not on Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. They 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.960 ran an incredible campaign in the shortest time span that 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:02.040 we've ever seen. This election, right is the determination. This 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:07.040 clean sweep of MAGA is the determination of white people 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.240 in America that have decided that they are done playing 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:15.680 with democracy, that democracy no longer serves their interests, and 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.120 so if they cannot get ahead, then their goal and 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.719 desire is to pull every single person back and down. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.360 Oh we're not going back to what was. There's a new, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.600 fresh hell that is going to be in front of us. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.240 Let me just speak the truth, friends, because I think 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.560 that we need to get this off of our chest 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.799 and get it out into the open. They have talked 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:45.960 about mass deportations, and yet a majority half of Latino 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.679 men voted for Donald Trump. Because that is how white 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:56.440 supremacy works. It expands itself right in order to bring 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.159 in the people so that they have the numbers. But 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.279 then it will turn on itself. So those Latino men 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.800 that think, oh I'm fair skin, right, Oh I came 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.080 here legally, they don't give a fuck. But you will 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.679 find that out. The white women that decided to vote 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.000 alongside their husbands, they didn't just vote alongside their husbands. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.080 They voted for their own subjugation. But it doesn't matter, folks, 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.760 because at the end of the day, they believe that 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.120 their whiteness will in fact protect them and maybe for 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.280 a little while it will. You'll feel good playing house, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.600 You'll feel good being a baby factory. You'll feel good 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.640 being pushed out of the workplace because you got a 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.680 good old white man that is going to be there 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.680 to take care of you until he gets tired of 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.880 doing that. And your abuse and whatever happens is whatever happens. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:52.919 Because we now live inside of a lawless society. You 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.279 think the laws domestic violence that has protected women, the 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.440 safe spaces that women have been able to take themselves 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.000 and young children to get away from dangerous men, you 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.440 think that those things are still going to exist. They won't. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.080 They talked about getting rid of no fault divorce. No 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.400 fault divorce is a piece of legislation that Ronald Reagan 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.280 signed in allowing people to get a divorce because they 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.320 no longer wanted to be married, not because they needed 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.360 to prove that there was any type of violence or 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.960 prove anything. It's just I don't want to be married 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.080 to this person anymore. That's going to go out the window. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:37.360 While some states in this election voted to enshrine abortion rights, 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.920 I'm wondering how that plays out when the federal national 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.520 abortion ban comes in because we know that states' rights 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.800 only works when they are doing what exactly, protecting their 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.560 right to oppress, protecting their right to jerrymander, protecting their 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.679 right to harm. But any time that any state tries 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.600 to do something to enact laws to protect their own constituents, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.840 it turns around that, oh, the executive in the federal 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:11.000 government is really the deciding factor. So folks that are 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.880 saying to themselves, well, I'll be safe because I'm gonna 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.760 stop you in that sentence right now, there is no 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.680 safety for people that look like me. I think that 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.800 safety has oftentimes been an illusion because during every Democrat 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:31.280 and Republican presidency we have watched countless black men, women, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.439 and children be gunned down. That number is just gonna 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.680 go all the way up because now militias and white 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.600 supremacists are embolden. They're embolden on the courts, they're embolden 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:49.040 as the cops. So there is going to be a 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.800 significant amount of change that is going to happen quickly. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:58.560 Last night I was on Ziteo with Mehdi Hassan and 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.600 he asked me, Dinielle, well, what is the pivot that 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.600 Democrats are going to need to make like, what will 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.319 democrats learn in this moment? And I said, what does 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.560 it matter if Donald Trump becomes president? Because at that 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.439 time we hadn't known Donald Trump becomes president. We don't 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.680 need to worry about the Democratic Party because it's not 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.959 going to exist. We don't need to worry about who's 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.760 to blame in this situation, although I am putting the 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.880 blame squarely on white people, because black men and black 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.120 women showed the fuck up and did what needed to 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.679 be done. But it is really difficult to be black 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.600 and queer and to wake up in a country that 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:39.040 despises you, regardless of how long and how hard you 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.200 have been fighting for it to live up to its ideals. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.200 My mother said to me this morning, tears running down 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.560 her eyes. Why do they hate us so much? I 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.959 had no response. I don't know. Our skin is too dark, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.280 our hair is too kinky. I have no idea. Why 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.560 do they hate gay people and trans people and queer 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.240 people so much? I don't know. Because we have the 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.000 audacity to live in our truth, that we have the 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.080 audacity to want to live in our skin and be 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:13.040 loved and protected instead of conforming ourselves to their gender 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:19.319 binaries and their stereotypical bullshit. Folks. I don't know what 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.440 the future holds. I am not a sorcerer, but I 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:29.800 do know that people like me are no longer safe 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.760 in this country. People right, young women that are of 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.000 child bearing age are no longer safe in this country 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:44.240 postmenopausal rite the cat ladies. They are not safe in 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.640 this country. And you are gonna watch as Donald Trump 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:55.160 takes his throne with pure immunity, pick off community after 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.360 community after community. You are gonna watch people that told 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.960 you that they love you align with the powers that 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.480 be in order to protect themselves. Black people are waking 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.400 up in this country today and saying, who are our allies? 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.320 Who are our allies? There are none. Fifty percent of 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:20.760 this country listen to Donald Trump for nine years, listen 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.400 to him the last fucking week of this campaign, and 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.680 chose him over a black and Asian woman. They didn't 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.000 vote against their best interests. Their best interest is white 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.760 supremacy and misogyny. That was always the goal, it was 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:41.240 always the plan. Donald Trump was right about who America is. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:47.360 We have had moments, moments when we've been able to say, oh, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.240 look we're better than we thought we were. Look we 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.440 passed marriage equality. Look, we had affirmative action. Look, we 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.640 had Roe v. Wade. Do you know that this country 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.840 has only had a democracy for sixty fucking years and 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.760 now it is done. Why do I say sixty years? 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.720 Because that is when the Voting Rights Act passed. That 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.360 is when we had Roe v. Waight, That is when 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.439 we had affirmative action. That is when it became illegal 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.840 to discriminate against people based on their race and based 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.199 on their gender. We held on to that true democracy 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.480 for sixty years because don't talk to me about before. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:28.120 Don't talk to me about your fucking fourth of July, right, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:33.800 because those forefathers did not include people that look like me. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.640 We were three fifths and you know what we're about, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.840 what two three four five laws away from being back 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.240 on a plantation. As was said earlier today on social media, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.319 we have a maga Supreme Court that, oh sure Clarence 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.960 Thomas is on there, but I'm sure Clarence Thomas cut 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.880 himself out a little cozy deal. So you know what's 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.920 on the table. Brown versus the Board of Education. Oh, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.040 they won't get rid of that, Danielle. They're gonna get 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.760 the whole fucking department of education. You think segregation is 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:11.120 not on the fucking table, y'all. I don't know what 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.320 resistance looks like in this moment. I really don't, because 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.240 I am in too much fucking pain, and the pain 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.040 is so deep that it's numb. You know what I'm saying. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.240 When you're in so much pain that your body actually 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:30.640 can't feel anymore, that's the pain that black people, people 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.480 of color, queer people, marginalized folks, people with disabilities are 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.680 waking up in this country experiencing a type of pain 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.920 that they can't put a name to. To go have 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:49.000 people smiling their faces. Oh hello, take your order and 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.720 literally vote to take your life and livelihood away. Who 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.800 can you trust? Donald Trump has sowed the seeds of distrust. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.760 But these motherfucking exit polls, Oh no, they have showed 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.600 us who we are. They continue to say that you 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.200 will repeat history if you do not learn from it. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.280 And do you know what their responses, Burn the books, 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.880 criminalize the teachers, shut down the schools. We are two 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.240 steps away from critical thinking being a crime in this country. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:31.040 Just wait, we have a red country screaming red, rage red. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.640 They don't care what they are gaining from Donald Trump. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.920 Because they're not gonna gain a fucking thing. It was 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.960 never about the gains, folks, It was about who they 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.720 get to direct the losses towards. So long as you 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.560 lose and I lose, that's their gain. We tried to 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.880 come at these people with facts, and they came out 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.440 us with telling us that Donald Trump was their fucking Messiah, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.000 that he was brought to them by Jesus, this Christ himself. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.120 They believe that God gives us interesting tools to work with. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.520 Donald Trump was their tool. For sixty years, they have 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.200 watched this country change in front of them. They watched 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.920 the black man become president of the United States twice 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.760 and lost their fucking minds. Don't talk to me about oh, 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.720 I didn't do this, and all I didn't do that, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.720 and not all white people miss me with the bullshit 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:31.000 today because if everyone had voted like their lives were 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.480 on the line, that they weren't going to be able 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.880 to hide behind their whiteness. Because this is what's gonna happen, folks. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:43.200 This country is gonna get real dangerous, real fast. I 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.520 talked about the hashtags and how many black lives have 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:52.720 been lost. That number is going to accelerate young queer 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.240 kids today are waken up. We told them years ago 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.800 that it gets better when they get older. What the 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.440 fuck are we telling them to? Just kidding? You know? 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.880 For those folks that are able to hide behind their whiteness, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.280 trust and believe that some of y'all will in order 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.560 to protect yourselves. But the rest of us are gonna 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.040 have to exist right out in the open and plain 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:24.640 fucking sight. It is. It is a deep dark place 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:30.480 that we find ourselves. And honestly, folks, I'm gonna say 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.040 this again. Miss me in the comments section with not 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.800 all white people, miss me in the comment section with 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.000 white people aren't the enemy? Miss me with it. Okay, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.920 why do you think that towns have been burned down? 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.560 Do you know that the last surviving, the last surviving 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:52.040 living witness to the Tulsa massacre over one hundred years ago, 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:58.360 voted yesterday for Kamala Harris only to see this country 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.200 do what for her, deny the fact that she even 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.800 lost what she lost one hundred years ago, to see 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:11.359 that nothing has changed really fundamentally, because we've never addressed 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.560 the deep dark racism that exists in this country. We 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:22.040 just kid ourselves that it will go out of style. Oh, 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:29.119 they'll die off. There were young kids on Halloween dressed 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.080 up as Donald Trump and their Maga hats holding an 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:37.159 AR fifteen, a toy one dressed up as a school shooter. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.200 Racism and hatred is going to die out. No, they've 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.520 been grooming. They've been grooming these kids, telling them who 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.879 to fear, who to hate. There's no disruption education. Our 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:55.399 public education system is supposed to be our disruptor. You see, 0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.200 after the Holocaust, Germany had to come to Jesus moment 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:05.040 and they vowed not only to hold trials and hold 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:09.560 people responsible for the damage, for the deaths, for the 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:15.200 murders that were caused, but to also teach how it happened, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.400 why it happened, so that it wouldn't happen again. Tell 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.480 me where we've done that in America. Tell me where 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:28.280 we have reconciled with looking at human beings as chattel. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:34.360 Tell me where we have made the pivot into recognizing 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:40.480 everyone's humanity. We haven't, And that too was purposeful, because 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:46.040 then those that are oppressed spend the time and the 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.800 energy trying to convince you that your foot is on 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.800 their neck while you look up at the sky and say, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.399 I don't know what you're talking about, young, And you know, 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.359 I got to say, this is not the under belly 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:05.800 of America. It's not. This is America. These are the 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:11.200 same people that spit on, threw rocks at and bombed 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.639 a church and killed four little black girls. That's who 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.920 America is, right, the same people who watched as George 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.440 Floyd took his last breath, had life squeezed out of him, 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.400 yelling for his mother, and then folks want to turn 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.480 around and re enact that for fun and make it 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:38.119 trend on TikTok. That's who America is. All. Political violence 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:42.600 is new. Racism is new. No, it's not. No, it's not. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.320 Instead of us investigating the rise of white supremacy and 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.040 white militia and white nationalist groups in this country, instead, 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.280 what did we do? Oh, the FBI decided to investigate 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.600 black extremism. Somebody point to me and show me where 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.439 that's at. Is it on the police force? Is it 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.679 on the Supreme Court? Where's the black extremism at? Pointed 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.679 out to me. Was it on January sixth? But we 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.879 didn't look into it? Right? Republicans debted that because they 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.560 didn't want their base investigated, and Democrats let it go. Y'all, 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:23.439 I'm going to tell you that the road ahead is 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.600 dark and I don't know what resistance looks like, to 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.680 be honest, because I said when I launched my show 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.400 Woke AF back in twenty seventeen, when I launched Woke AF, 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.600 I said that everything in America was going to get 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.240 bloodier before it got better. We have hit that bloodier stage. 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:49.199 Because if we thought that the camps that were built 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:55.600 during Donald Trump's first administration, where he had his lawyers 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.840 go to court so that he wouldn't have to provide 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:07.480 hygienie products, toothpaste, soap, water flushing toilets for the undocumented 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.920 people that he corralled up, if we think that those 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.800 camps are only going to be for those folks. Donald 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:19.399 Trump was talking about the Aliens Act right seventeen ninety 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.240 eight or whenever it was. He loves the seventeen hundreds, 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.680 which was used to in turn Japanese Americans in this country. 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.639 So you think that what it's not going to be us, 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.439 It can never be us that are put in the 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.879 camps that are sent away. And the funny thing is 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.800 I was thinking about this. I said, who is going 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.359 to save America? Right? World War Two, we waited for 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:51.280 six million Jewish people to be killed. Six million, and 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.080 that's just the number that we work with. We know 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.520 that there was actually more, and then the world intervened, 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:02.679 but six million. Donald trum is reorganizing the access of 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:07.760 evil with America at the center, aligning it with Russia, 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:12.640 with North Korea. We will be at war with Iran 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:22.480 soon enough. It is. I cannot fathom how America couldn't 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.840 take democracy over the finish line. I just I don't 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.720 get it, but I do because when this country became 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:38.960 started to become too inclusive, right, we're respecting people's pronouns, 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:44.040 we're respecting women's bodies. Right, it's too much. And they 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.639 fucking yanked the cord on that shit and said, nah, 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:54.800 this democracy shit. Mm mmm, you know it's amazing. Let 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.920 me tell you something that I would never do. I'm 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.119 never going on a right wing lie and going into 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.879 the chat to say you're wrong, you're dumb, you're this, 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.400 you're that. Motherfucker. If you think I give a shit 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.679 about trolls today, this whole country is full of fucking trolls. 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.399 Ain't nowhere to be safe from them, Like you know 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.000 what I'm saying, that's what we know today. The whole 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.439 country is full of fucking trols, people who want the 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.720 worst for you, People who they're not just hiding behind 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.399 screens and avatars and saying oh die and whatever. No, 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.600 they're gonna say that shit to your face. The question is, 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:37.400 how are we going to decide to move forward? How 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.720 are we going to protect those that we love? I 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:46.000 don't know. I honestly do not have any answers today. 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.240 I have a lot of questions, but I do not 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:53.080 have a lot of answers for you know, I know 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:56.000 that there are people right now with their platitudes and 0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:58.960 they're like, we live to fight another day, and you know, 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.679 don't worry. Let's look at midterms and let's look at this. 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.640 And I'm just like, look at the shit that we're 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.520 sitting in. How about that? How about we just take 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.880 a fucking collective pause. And for the Democrats that want 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.560 to star pointing fingers and talk about what Kamala did 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.399 wrong and what happened here and who's to blame miss 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:22.200 me with it? You know, who's to blame? American oligarchs, 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:27.879 corporate mainstream media, everyone who has been in cahoots for 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:32.160 Donald Trump for the last nine years. Also that they 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.240 can get more tax breaks. They don't care if it 0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:37.840 comes at the expense of breaking other people's backs. As 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.920 a matter of fact, that's a perk. Again, we thought 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:46.480 by telling people here's the deal, this is what they're 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.360 up to, that they would be like, oh my god, shocked, 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.440 I'm going to vote for my rights. Instead, they did 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.760 vote for their rights. They vote for their right to oppress. 0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:02.600 They vote for their right to oppress and suppressed and depress. 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.840 That's what they voted for. And there were people that said, 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:10.800 you know, I'm not going to vote. I don't like 0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.640 neither one of them, right, I'm not going to vote 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.480 because I have principles about Gaza. How do you think 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:21.359 Gaza gounfair today? Real talk? It's not, you know, real talk. 0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.000 What do we think is happening? You think as people 0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.360 in this country are going to be toiling and reeling 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:29.520 with how they're going to put food on the table, 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:33.239 how they're going to afford healthcare, how they're going to 0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.399 afford to like live and exist, how we're going to 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:37.960 get rid of because you know, one of the things 0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:39.800 that they want to get rid of. And I put 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.520 it in a short the other day which was like 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:48.239 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the EEOC, you know that 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:52.960 make sure that folks are treated equally at work and 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.520 are not fired on the basis of race, on gender, 0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:00.679 on religion, on all of those things. That's gone. So 0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.600 people are just like, oh my employer, you know, I'll 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:06.639 be okay, I have a job. Your boss can fire you, 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:10.320 right and now fire you. Look at you, Call you 0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.399 the N word, call you a whull host of things. 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.280 What's your recourse? These are the these are the this 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:21.840 is real talk, folks. I'm genuinely not trying to scare 0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:25.600 any I'm scared enough. I don't need to try and 0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:33.159 scare Like, we're here, We're here, We've arrived. So what 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:37.280 I offer to all of you is to find ways 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:40.960 to protect yourself and protect the people that you love, 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:45.800 and protect your communities, because that's what it's going to 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:48.399 be about. You know what's sick too, is that I 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.639 know that gun sales are going to go through the roof. 0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.760 That's what's crazy, is like who wins here? Every aspect 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.480 of the GOP, including the NRA, gun sales are going 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.400 to go through the roof. I've already seen it where 0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:06.360 people are like, oh, we need to buy guns. It's 0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:10.240 the master fucking plan here, because that's gonna keep us safe. 0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:12.359 There are more guns in this country than there are 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.280 fucking people right now. How well has that been working 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.879 out for us? It hasn't. But this is what people 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:21.720 will do in order to feel like they are going 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.000 to be able to protect themselves and their families. For 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:30.920 those of you that are parents, I really my heart 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:33.960 goes out to you. I don't know how you explain 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:38.760 this moment to young people who were not able to vote, 0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:42.120 but all of the decisions that were made last night 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:46.600 and today are absolutely going to affect their lives moving forward. 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:50.240
