It 21 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: is absolutely reprehensible that it isn't enough for Ron DeSantis 22 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: to say, oh no, don't say gay, and let that 23 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: be about young children, right and you say, oh, okay, 24 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: well we'll let that slide. Now, the don't say Gay 25 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: bill has been expanded to no mention whatsoever of the 26 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: presence the existence of lgbt Q people from K through twelve. 27 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: So that means that if you happen to be a 28 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: kid in school you're suffering, having a difficult time being 29 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: bullied administration teachers, Yeah, they can't fucking help you. If 30 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: the teachers or the administration are bullying you or speaking 31 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: ill of you, yeah, you have no fucking recourse if 32 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: you want to do a project, let's say, on an 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: elected official, an elected official happened to have been you know, 34 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: the history of Harvey Milk or Stonewall or any of 35 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: those things, talking about Bayard Rustin or any presence there 36 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: so of LGBTQ people who have accomplished a continuing to 37 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: accomplish amazing things in this country. Well, in the state 38 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: of Florida, they do not exist. And it's going so 39 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: far as to possibly these laws extend to forcing LGBTQ 40 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: health clinics to have to utter their doors, just leaving 41 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: LGBTQ people, you know in the wind right. The governor 42 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: doesn't give a fuck. In a recent interview that he did, 43 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: he said that Florida is the place where woke goes 44 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: to die. And I just want to remind all of 45 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: you what woke actually fucking stands for. It means being conscious, 46 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: It means being politically aware and engage of systems of oppression. 47 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: And so basically what Ron DeSantis is saying is that 48 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: Florida is where where consciousness goes to die. It is 49 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: where education goes to die, It is where equity goes 50 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: to die, it is where justice goes to die. Right, 51 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: And we all know that this very thin skinned piece 52 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: of trash doesn't take questions from reporters who aren't going 53 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: to throw him softballs or make him feel good about himself, 54 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: because you know, that's what quote unquote men do. And 55 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: I say that with a wink and a nod, because 56 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: you know that Republican men are all about their masculinity 57 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: and shooting, you know, balloons out of the sky and 58 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: posing with weapons and all of these things. And so 59 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Ronde Santis can't take a couple of hard questions, you know, 60 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: you're seeing pretty fucking soft. And I use that in 61 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: a way to present to you that everything that the 62 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Republican Party does is about projection, is about how ill 63 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: and deflated and disgusted they are with themselves, and they 64 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: want everyone else to feel that way as well. Right. Well, 65 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing, Ron de Santis. Queer people 66 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: aren't going fucking anywhere. We're not going back into the closet. 67 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: We're not going back into hiding. We're not going back 68 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: into a place to feel bad about ourselves and to 69 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: feel like we don't belong. Fuck you, you're the one 70 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: that is grasping at straws and holding on for dear 71 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: fucking life. And if you think, if you think that 72 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: your crusade against consciousness, your crusade against equity, your crusade 73 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: against inclusion, is somehow going to catapult you to being 74 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: president of these United States, my friends, my friend, you 75 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: are sadly and sorely fucking mistaken. Because I will make 76 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: it my mission, and I hope every single person that 77 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: listens to WOKF will make it their mission in life, 78 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: whether you live in the state of Florida or not, 79 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that you are a fucking failure at 80 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: the presidential level because you are even too fucking weak 81 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: limp dick Haven to announce your presidency because of what 82 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: you think Donald Trump is going to say about you 83 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: and whether or not his followers are going to jump 84 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: on your hate field fucking bandwagon, grow a pair. Next 85 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: up on my fucke it for this fucking Friday. Moving 86 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: on up to uh, the state of North Carolina where 87 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: we have experienced this week. I mean so many shootings 88 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: and these are just the ones that have caught the 89 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: attention of the public. But in North Carolina there wasn't 90 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: just one victim. There was two. And let me tell 91 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: you this story real quick. A father and daughter are 92 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: playing basketball. The basketball goes accidentally into the neighboring houses yard. 93 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: They think, oh, we'll just go over there and go 94 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: get it. Nope, not in America, not where, not in 95 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: this fucking sugar happy country, because they get shot at. 96 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Both the six year old girl and the father are shot. Thankfully, 97 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: the young girl was treated and released. The father, I believe, 98 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 1: still remains in the hospital because that is what happens 99 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: in America. Now. There are no room for mistakes, right, 100 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: there is no room for an accident. So now let's 101 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: travel up to upstate New York where that case has 102 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: turned tragic. Kaylan twenty year old a twenty year old 103 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: young woman right who is in a car Caylen Gillis 104 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: in a car with a couple of friends in upstate 105 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: New York, which, if you've not visited upstate New York, 106 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: it's fairly rural nighttime driving there in the rural parts, 107 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: not a lot of street lights, a lot of dirt 108 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: pathed driveways as you wind your way up in this 109 00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: mountainous areas to homes. Well, Kaylen Gillis and a couple 110 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: of her friends are driving around looking for a friend's home. 111 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: They go into a driveway, realize it's the wrong place, 112 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: go to make a U turn, and are met with 113 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: gunfire from the porch, killing Kaylen Gillis. The car was 114 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: making a U turn out of the driveway and they 115 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: were shot at, and Kaylen Gillis, twenty years old, is 116 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: now dead. This shooter has no remorse is being charged 117 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: with second degree murder. Then we go to the case 118 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: of Ralph y'arl, the sixteen year old black boy who 119 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: accidentally rings the wrong doorbell looking to pick up his 120 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: younger brothers and is met with a bullet to the 121 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: head and a bullet to the arm. This is a 122 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: story that I talked about earlier in the week in 123 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: the episode Licensed to Kill, where it has taken me 124 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: days and days and days to process this and be 125 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: able to talk about it without bursting into tears. Thankfully, 126 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: by the grace of God in all the universe. Ralph 127 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: y'arl has been released from the hospital and is recovering 128 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: miraculously at home. He's recovering physically from his injuries, but 129 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: I am certain emotionally scarred for sure, because all he 130 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: kept saying to his aunt was I didn't do anything wrong. 131 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: Here's the thing that even if he had done something wrong, 132 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: even many of them, any of these people have done 133 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,119 Speaker 1: something wrong, do you deserve to be fucking shot at? 134 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: But in America, we shoot first and maybe we ask 135 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: questions later. All of this stand your ground, ow fucking 136 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: wild wild West that the Republican Party has been conjuring 137 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: up for decades is now here. This is how we 138 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: live now. The week prior to this series of shootings 139 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: that we experienced this week in the headlines, there was 140 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: a shootout on a highway in Florida because of road rage, right, 141 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: because this is how we deal with things now. It 142 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: is the flooding of toxicity, of fear mongering that is 143 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: increasing anxiety, that is increasing racism and hate, that is 144 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: shrinking the minds of people and enlarging their hostility. Then 145 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: we have the shooting that took place in Texas where 146 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: cheerleader Peyton Washington remains in ICU following a game on 147 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: her way home in a parking lot, her and her 148 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: friends go to the wrong car, are met with gunfire, 149 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: and now she is in ICU fighting for her life. 150 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: Is this how we want to fucking live? Where we 151 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: can't go anywhere, we can't make mistakes, There's no room 152 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: for accidents, there's no room for missteps, because just waiting 153 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: behind a closed door on a porch in a parking 154 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: lot is someone in ready waiting to take you out there. 155 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Republican ideologies that more guns make us safer, tell me where, 156 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: because the ones who are facing the bullets are supposedly 157 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: the people that they care about, you know, the children, 158 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: the children that they don't want groomed right by wok ideology. Well, 159 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: it isn't walk ideology. That's fucking killing them.

He hasn't had much 174 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: contact with his grandfather in the last couple of years 175 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: because he said he's grown up and developed his own 176 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: political ideologies. There's a direct correlation, folks, that is being 177 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: made between what we are seeing in these headlines of 178 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: gun violence, mass shootings, quote unquote standing your ground and Fox. 179 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: So now let me move to my otherfuck it right 180 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: of the week, which is Dominion settling their case against 181 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: Fox for the big lie and implicating Dominion voting machines 182 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: as the main culprit in their lie that they've spread 183 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. So you all know that I hold 184 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: on to the mustard seed of hope that I stick 185 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: into my pocket and I just pray for it to sprout. 186 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: I had hoped that this Dominion case was going to 187 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: go fully to trial, to stay in the news, so 188 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: that the real news, so that people, particularly Fox viewers, 189 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: knew that this entire network has been lying to them, 190 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: that this wasn't just one incident but a pattern of behavior. 191 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Right when opening arguments were to take place, Fox settled 192 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: for seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars to Dominion. Now, 193 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: I want folks to understand something. And if you watched 194 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: Ari Melber's show on MSNBC this week, you know he 195 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: wanted to give a huge rundown saying that you know, 196 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: for those of us me uh included, who believed that 197 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,359 Speaker 1: this settlement isn't historic when you look at the numbers. 198 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: Sure it's historic when you look at the law. But 199 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: when you look at the numbers, Fox News brings in 200 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: four and a half billion dollars a year, seven hundred 201 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: and eighty seven million dollars. Sure is sixteen percent as 202 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: he riddled off of their revenue. But I'm pretty sure, 203 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: and I'm not a financier, but I'm pretty sure that 204 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: between insurance and tax ride offs that this isn't going 205 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: to put a fucking ding in Fox whatsoever, let alone. 206 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: Let alone it's multi billionaire CEO Rupert Murdoch. The reason 207 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: why they fucking settled is because they don't want their 208 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: shit air it out. But understand, this is again a 209 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: pattern of behavior, that's all Fox does. So I'm pretty 210 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: sure that they write into their fucking budgets for the year. Well, 211 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: we'll probably soon because you know, we have no journalistic 212 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: integrity and we could give a fuck, but we'll write 213 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: it off. So sure, in terms of lawsuits against news networks, 214 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: is this historic? Yeah? Is it going to hurt Fox 215 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: in any which way? No? Is it gonna change their 216 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: behavior on air? No? Do they have to issue an 217 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: on air apology on any of the shows that we're 218 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: doing most of the lying. No, will the Fox viewers 219 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: ever know that this case even happened. No, So, folks, 220 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: when I look at this, I think that it's a 221 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: major fucking loss. Not for Dominion because they're walking away 222 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: with seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars, but for democracy, 223 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: for the fourth estate, for accountability and responsibility, because this 224 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: is a disrupt behavior. All it did was tell them how 225 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: next time to hide their tracks better, Maybe use burner phones, 226 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: maybe don't text, maybe pat people down to make sure 227 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: that they're not recording you. But it's not going to 228 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: change what it is that they're putting out to tens 229 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: of millions of viewers every single day. Does demeanor and 230 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: have other lawsuits pending against Juliani and the Mike Pillow guy, 231 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: Mike Lindell and you know, the bigger pushers of the 232 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: Big lie as well as Newsmax and Oan. Yes, Newsmax 233 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: and o AAN do not have the deep pockets that 234 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: Fox does, so even though Fox is a parent company 235 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: of Newsmax. So hopefully, you know, we see these move forward. 236 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: But if we believe things that we see, I'm sure 237 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: we'll just see a series of settlements. So Dominion will 238 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: be a billion dollar company by the time this is 239 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: all done, but our democracy will be in shreds. But 240 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, capitalism, folks, you know, I know how difficult 241 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: it is is to maneuver through these stories, how difficult 242 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: it is to just kind of continue to grind, you know, 243 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: continue to be a cog in the wheel of capitalism 244 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: and pretend that everything that we are seeing and hearing 245 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: isn't affecting us on a cellular level. Right, And it 246 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: would be a lie, right, because I know that my 247 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: body betrayed me this week with sleepless nights and rage 248 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: and then grief and then rage again, because everything that 249 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: I see is just dark right now. I don't see 250 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: the light. But I do want to end this fucked 251 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: Friday with just a little bit, and I did the 252 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: same last week. Generation Z is a generation that is 253 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: being forced to fight for themselves at such a young age. 254 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: But it has often been in this country that those 255 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: that were fighting the hardest were those whose lives were 256 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: just getting started. John Lewis was but a young man 257 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: in his twenties when he was marching in the South 258 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: and sitting at lunch counters to integrate and to stop 259 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: the racist practice and policies of Jim Crow. It was 260 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: a young people that were out in the streets protesting 261 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: again it's a senseless war in Vietnam, And once again 262 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: now it is young people that are pouring into the streets, 263 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: that are walking out of schools because many of them 264 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: don't yet have the right to vote, but they're watching 265 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: their futures be decided by people who don't care whether 266 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: or not they live and die at the end of 267 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: a school year. They're watching their freedoms that their parents 268 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: and grandparents readily enjoyed be stripped away before they have 269 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: the ability to cast a ballot. It has always been 270 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: young people that have shown up to fight for a 271 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: future that the adults in the room have already given 272 00:21:52,400 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: up on. So when I see from Tennessee, can Florida 273 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: and other states, when I see these young people leading 274 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: the way, they are what I have hope in because 275 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I have lost faith in the legislators, I have lost 276 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: faith in the judges. But I believe that what these 277 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: Republicans are doing are creating a generation of activists. We 278 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: won't save them, but I sure as fuck believe that 279 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: they are ready to save themselves. That is it for 280 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: me today, Dear friends on wokef as always power to 281 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: the people and to all the people power. Get woke 282 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: and stay woke as fuck.
