1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peevesend. Welcome to wik f Daily with me 2 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: your girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks. 3 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: You know, I keep wondering how many red flags are 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: enough for us to recognize that the America that we 5 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: all grew up in is no more that what we 6 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: believed to be. Institutions that were above reproach, people that 7 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: deserved our reverence are just political hacks that are full 8 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: of shit. I point to you on this Memorial Day 9 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: a recent article that came out at the end of 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: last week that is surely yeah, is it an eye roll? Absolutely? 11 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: Is it something that we should really probably be paying 12 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: attention to. Yeah, I think so. So we've talked about 13 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: this on the show before, which is that Justice Alito, 14 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: in front of his home had flown a flag that 15 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: was an upside down American flag on his home in Virginia, 16 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: and he said, well, that wasn't really me, it was 17 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: my wife. You know, she handles apparently the decorating, you 18 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: know how nineteen fifties of him. And you know, this 19 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: goes in line with other politicians that love to throw 20 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: their wives under the bus or just like feign ignorance 21 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: in their own homes, you know. Well, come to find 22 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: out that the New York Times found another quote unquote 23 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: provocative flag, as they've put in their article that quote, 24 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: the Justice's beach house displayed an appeal to Heaven flag, 25 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: a symbol carried on January sixth and associated with a 26 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: push for a more Christian minded government. I'll go you 27 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: one step further, New York Times, because you never seem 28 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: to go far enough, which is that, No, this isn't 29 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: just about a quote unquote Christian minded government. This is 30 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: about Christian nationalism. It is about white Christian nationalism right 31 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: in this country that Justice Alito and his entire family, 32 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: including his little lady of a wife who's in charge 33 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: of the decorating, believe in and so reminded that justices 34 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: are supposed to just look at the law. They're supposed 35 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: to be, you know, aligned with precedent, aligned with what 36 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the law and the Constitution states. But what we have 37 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: seen with regard to these justices is that that couldn't 38 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: be further from the fucking truth. They are all political, 39 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: fucking HAPs And frankly, what Justice Alito is showing, and again, 40 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: what's the recourse, what's the punishment? Is it just the 41 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: finger wag. There is no punishment, friends, for a lifetime appointment. 42 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: You can't even call Justice Roberts before the Senate Judiciary 43 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: Committee because guess what, he just won't show up. And 44 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: for the New York Times to say it is a 45 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: provocative flag, give me a fucking break. What do you 46 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: think would happen if Katanji Brown Jackson or Sonya sotomayor 47 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: right hung a Black Lives Matter flag at their homes? Now, 48 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: I am not trying to equate white Christian nationalism with 49 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, But what I'm saying is, what do 50 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: you think that the right would do if that were 51 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: to happen. What do you think would happen if Katanji 52 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson's husband had been on the phone with Biden's 53 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: chief of staff trying to talk to them about the 54 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: upcoming twenty twenty four election. What do you think that 55 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the right would do with that information? They'd be forced 56 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to resign. So when I see these stories that continue 57 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: to just mount, I don't want us to become desensitized 58 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: to the fact that we are supposed to be able 59 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: to hold our justices in esteem. But what Donald Trump 60 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: and what the Republican Party has done to the Supreme 61 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Court over the last several years is bring it into 62 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: the sewer. Is use and weaponize this Supreme Court to 63 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: push through a white nationalist agenda. I haven't heard yet 64 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: Biden's campaign talk about the importance of the courts or 65 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: expanding the courts. Oh, because that's too controversial. But apparently 66 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: Justice Alito flying whatever flags he wants in front of 67 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: his house that denote his political allegiance and his ideology. 68 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Apparently that's okay. So I want to read part of 69 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: this article in the New York Times about Alito's flag, 70 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: just so you have an idea of where our Supreme 71 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: Court is right now. Quote. Last summer, two years after 72 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: an upside down American flag was flown outside the Virginia 73 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: home of Justice Samuel Alito Junior, another provocative symbol was 74 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to 75 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: interviews and photographs. This time it was the quote appeal 76 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: to Heaven flag, which, like the inverted US flag, was 77 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: carried by rioters at the Capitol on January sixth, twenty 78 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: twenty one. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it 79 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into 80 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: obscurity until recent years, and is now a symbol of 81 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: support for former President Donald Trump for a religious strand 82 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: of the Stop the Steel campaign for a push to 83 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: remake American government in Christian terms. Three photographs obtained by 84 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: The New York Times, along with accounts from a half 85 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: dozen neighbors and passer buyers, show that the Appeal to 86 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: Heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long 87 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Beach Island in July and September of twenty twenty three. 88 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: A Google street View image from late August also shows 89 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: the flag. The photographs, each taken independently, are from four 90 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: different dates. It is not clear whether the flag was 91 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: displayed continuously during those months or how long it flown 92 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: was flown overall. Who gives a fuck? Who cares if 93 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: it was flown throughout the year, if it was flown 94 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: for five minutes. We now have a black and white 95 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: understanding of what the flag means where it was carried previously, right, 96 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: and it is in front of a Supreme Court justices home, 97 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: not once, but fucking twice, not one home but two homes. 98 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: So are we all just supposed to be like, oh, well, 99 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: you can fly whatever you want out of your home 100 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: when you're supposed to be the arbiter of law and 101 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: order in this country. And that is a symbol that 102 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: was used on one of the darkest days in modern history, 103 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: in this coy for our Capitol building that had never 104 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: been breached, not in any war, except for on January sixth, 105 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And you're telling me that two years 106 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: after that most disgusting display of white supremacy, that a 107 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice two years later is flying that flag 108 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: and thinking nothing of it. And we're just supposed to 109 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: what dismiss it? I tell you, folks, You know it 110 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: is wild. It is ridiculous that these people are even 111 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: right in at like Justice Alito hasn't recused himself from 112 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's immunity case, right, Clarence Thomas hasn't recused himself 113 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: from anything having to do with Donald Trump, knowing that 114 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: both of their wives are clearly in bed with MAGA. 115 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: Justice John Roberts is not saying, you know what, our 116 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: poll numbers are in the shitter. This looks really bad. Y'all. 117 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: Two should sit this one out. We just continue to 118 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: move along with business as usual while these people wreck 119 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: havoc on our country and try and mold it into 120 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: what they deem to be true. America is not a 121 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: fucking Christian nation. America was founded by some religious zealots 122 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: who didn't want to pay taxes and fled the rule 123 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: of the king. America is indigenous land that was home 124 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: to many and many a tribes that believed in community, 125 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: that believed in alignment with nature and spirit and the universe. 126 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: People of all different faiths call America home. What makes 127 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: America exceptional? If there is anything left that makes America exceptional, 128 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: it's a fact that, you know what. When I go 129 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: walking in one of my favorite parks in New York City, 130 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I hear a barrage of languages. I see people meditating, praying, 131 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: and it is beautiful. I see drivers at times pull 132 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: over with their prayermats so they can observe their islam 133 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: faith right. I walk past Jewish delis that are closed 134 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: on the high holidays. I see people adorned in all 135 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: different modes, expressive of their religious faith, and largely do 136 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: so without harassment, without fear, because that's what it means 137 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: to have freedom of religion in this country. But what 138 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: these Republicans are doing aided and abedded by this grifting, 139 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: cheating Supreme Court is to shape it into their vision 140 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: where they put prayer back in school, but not your 141 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: prayer or my prayer, but the prayer that they want 142 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: you to do. Let me take you into a dark 143 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: place in my mind. Donald Trump is elected and within 144 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: the first one hundred days, moss all across this country 145 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: are closed. Synagogues are shuddered, All houses of faith that 146 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: are not white or Christian are shuddered because Trump says so, 147 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: and people say no, that could never happen, because blah 148 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: blah blah, stop with the that could never happen. If 149 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: there is anything that we have learned over the last 150 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: nine years of trump Ism is that any fucking thing 151 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: is possible, That even the darkest corners of our mind 152 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: where we're just like you know what, I don't even 153 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: want to think it because if I think it, then 154 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: I give it energy, and if I give it energy, 155 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: I give it life. Those dark, dark things that we 156 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: push out of our minds can happen and will happen. 157 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: The other day I posted a video on TikTok and 158 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: I was responding to a comment that was made, and 159 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: it was an honest comment and I think the person 160 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: who had posted it.

But 173 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: what we need to do, what we need to reconcile with, 174 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: is that this time around, maybe we do want to 175 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: be like Republicans and be single issue voters, and that 176 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: single issue be our freedom, be our rights, be our democracy. 177 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: If you care about women, right, if you care about women, 178 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,359 Speaker 1: or you are a woman, or you have a uterus, 179 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: I suggest you take a look at what is happening 180 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: in places like Louisiana and Virginia, places where those Republican 181 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: governors are voting to block access to contraception, where Donald 182 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Trump himself came out and want to do double talk 183 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: on contraception right signaling to his religious zealot base that 184 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: that's next on the chopping block. We then doing a 185 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: double talk and being like, oh no, no, I didn't 186 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: mean what I said. Donald Trump at this point means 187 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: everything that he says, and he should take him at 188 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: his word. And so when we look out at this 189 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: country right now, this post ro v. Wade world, twenty 190 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: states no longer have full access to abortion. In twelve 191 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: plus of those states, abortion is banned outright, with no 192 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: exceptions for rape or incest or even right the life 193 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: of the pregnant person. They don't give a fuck. The 194 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: other day at the Supreme Court hearing, you listen to 195 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: Justice's debate how much blood a patient would have to 196 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: lose in order for a doctor to be able to 197 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: administer abortion care, how many organs need to be failing. 198 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: They don't see women and people with uteruses as whole, 199 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: complete human beings, worthy of life and dignity and respect 200 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: and autonomy. They see us as parts parts that they 201 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: don't care if they fail, are wherever able to rebound. 202 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if these motherfuckers think that pregnancy and 203 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: childbirth looks like this stork visiting your house, knocking on 204 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: the door and leaving and just a fresh, clean, healthy baby. 205 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: That's not what childbirth is. That's not what pregnancy is. 206 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: And most people don't know that until they become pregnant 207 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: that it is indeed a miracle if you choose and 208 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: are able to give birth to a healthy child, because 209 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: the amount of things that can and do go wrong 210 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: is terrifying, the amount of things that can go wrong 211 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: in delivery terrifying. I had somebody say to me the 212 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: other day that they were talking to a friend that 213 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: is trying to get pregnant, And I probably mentioned this 214 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: to you before, but it is sticking with me that 215 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: they're worried about flying around the country for work and 216 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: need to make sure that their flights are rooted through, 217 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: routed through states that still allow abortion, because what if 218 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: she miscarries and her layovers in Georgia or Louisiana, It 219 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter that she's not from there, it matters what 220 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: hospital she would be denied care at. No person, no 221 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: person should have to deal with that kind of stress 222 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: and worry, you know, That's one of the stories that 223 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: we used to tell as LGBTQ plus people with regard 224 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: to marriage equality. What if before we had marriage equality, 225 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: you were traveling with your partner and they fell ill, 226 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: and you were denied the ability to make their care 227 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: decisions or even see them because you were gay, because 228 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: you were trans. We had to make it visual the 229 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: patchwork of protections that people had, and what folks need 230 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: to think about, what they need to have on their person. 231 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: It's too much, folks. So when I say that there 232 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: is so much, so very much that is at stake 233 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: in this election, you don't need to check every issue 234 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: and say, well, he's not Biden isn't one hundred percent 235 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: with me on all of the issues that I care about. 236 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: So I'm going to sit this one out, pick one 237 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: of them, and I will remain steadfast with the fact 238 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: that you cannot fight for democracy anywhere else in this 239 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: world if you lose it at home. Because if we 240 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: lose democracy in this country, we lose our voice, we 241 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: lose our power, and we won't be able to exercise 242 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: it or wield it elsewhere. That's the truth, that's what 243 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: we're facing. Donald Trump is very clear. Maga is very clear. 244 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: It is laid out in Project twenty twenty five, in 245 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: nine hundred plus pages on the Heritage Foundation dot org. 246 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: What their plan is, what's your plan for November twenty 247 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: twenty four. That's what we need to be thinking about 248 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: over the next several months. That is it for me today. 249 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: Dear friends on wokf as always, power to the people 250 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay 251 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
