WEBVTT - Roadmap to Hate

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wik f Daily with

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it has been a fucking hell of a week this week,

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and I got to tell you that one just shout

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>out to all of you who have been sending me

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>really wonderful dms and in boxing me with kind of

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>just positive, you know, positive thoughts and you know appreciation.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I tell you often that sometimes I find being in

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>this work to be fairly thankless, because you know, I'm

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>swimming and shit so that you all don't have to,

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>but being reminded that it's next necessary to come up

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for air, that it's necessary, as they always say, to

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>put your own oxygen mask on before you can help others.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>So I appreciate everyone, you know, taking the time to

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>remind me of that. So let's get into it with

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>this fucked Friday. So first off, let's just start down south,

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>shall we, and work our way back up to the north.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So fucking rond DeSantis is just hell bent on turning

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the state of Florida into the hate state, and that's

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>what it is, and that's what it has become. It

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely reprehensible that it isn't enough for Ron DeSantis

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to say, oh no, don't say gay, and let that

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>be about young children, right and you say, oh, okay,

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>well we'll let that slide. Now, the don't say Gay

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>bill has been expanded to no mention whatsoever of the

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>presence the existence of lgbt Q people from K through twelve.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So that means that if you happen to be a

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>kid in school you're suffering, having a difficult time being

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>bullied administration teachers, Yeah, they can't fucking help you. If

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the teachers or the administration are bullying you or speaking

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>ill of you, yeah, you have no fucking recourse if

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to do a project, let's say, on an

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>elected official, an elected official happened to have been you know,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the history of Harvey Milk or Stonewall or any of

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>those things, talking about Bayard Rustin or any presence there

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so of LGBTQ people who have accomplished a continuing to

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>accomplish amazing things in this country. Well, in the state

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>of Florida, they do not exist. And it's going so

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>far as to possibly these laws extend to forcing LGBTQ

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>health clinics to have to utter their doors, just leaving

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>LGBTQ people, you know in the wind right. The governor

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't give a fuck. In a recent interview that he did,

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>he said that Florida is the place where woke goes

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to die. And I just want to remind all of

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 1>you what woke actually fucking stands for. It means being conscious,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It means being politically aware and engage of systems of oppression.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>And so basically what Ron DeSantis is saying is that

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Florida is where where consciousness goes to die. It is

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>where education goes to die, It is where equity goes

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to die, it is where justice goes to die. Right,

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>And we all know that this very thin skinned piece

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>of trash doesn't take questions from reporters who aren't going

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to throw him softballs or make him feel good about himself,

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>because you know, that's what quote unquote men do. And

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I say that with a wink and a nod, because

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you know that Republican men are all about their masculinity

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and shooting, you know, balloons out of the sky and

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>posing with weapons and all of these things. And so

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Ronde Santis can't take a couple of hard questions, you know,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing pretty fucking soft. And I use that in

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>a way to present to you that everything that the

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party does is about projection, is about how ill

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and deflated and disgusted they are with themselves, and they

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>want everyone else to feel that way as well. Right. Well,

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, here's the thing, Ron de Santis. Queer people

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>aren't going fucking anywhere. We're not going back into the closet.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>We're not going back into hiding. We're not going back

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 1>into a place to feel bad about ourselves and to

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>feel like we don't belong. Fuck you, you're the one

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>that is grasping at straws and holding on for dear

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>fucking life. And if you think, if you think that

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>your crusade against consciousness, your crusade against equity, your crusade

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>against inclusion, is somehow going to catapult you to being

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>president of these United States, my friends, my friend, you

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>are sadly and sorely fucking mistaken. Because I will make

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it my mission, and I hope every single person that

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>listens to WOKF will make it their mission in life,

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>whether you live in the state of Florida or not,

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you are a fucking failure at

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.799
<v Speaker 1>the presidential level because you are even too fucking weak

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>limp dick Haven to announce your presidency because of what

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>you think Donald Trump is going to say about you

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and whether or not his followers are going to jump

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 1>on your hate field fucking bandwagon, grow a pair. Next

0:05:54.240 --> 0:06:00.799
<v Speaker 1>up on my fucke it for this fucking Friday. Moving

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>on up to uh, the state of North Carolina where

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>we have experienced this week. I mean so many shootings

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and these are just the ones that have caught the

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>attention of the public. But in North Carolina there wasn't

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>just one victim. There was two. And let me tell

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you this story real quick. A father and daughter are

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>playing basketball. The basketball goes accidentally into the neighboring houses yard.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>They think, oh, we'll just go over there and go

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>get it. Nope, not in America, not where, not in

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>this fucking sugar happy country, because they get shot at.

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Both the six year old girl and the father are shot. Thankfully,

0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the young girl was treated and released. The father, I believe,

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.239
<v Speaker 1>still remains in the hospital because that is what happens

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in America. Now. There are no room for mistakes, right,

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>there is no room for an accident. So now let's

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>travel up to upstate New York where that case has

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:28.679
<v Speaker 1>turned tragic. Kaylan twenty year old a twenty year old

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>young woman right who is in a car Caylen Gillis

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in a car with a couple of friends in upstate

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>New York, which, if you've not visited upstate New York,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it's fairly rural nighttime driving there in the rural parts,

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of street lights, a lot of dirt

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>pathed driveways as you wind your way up in this

0:07:54.600 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>mountainous areas to homes. Well, Kaylen Gillis and a couple

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>of her friends are driving around looking for a friend's home.

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>They go into a driveway, realize it's the wrong place,

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>go to make a U turn, and are met with

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>gunfire from the porch, killing Kaylen Gillis. The car was

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>making a U turn out of the driveway and they

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>were shot at, and Kaylen Gillis, twenty years old, is

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>now dead. This shooter has no remorse is being charged

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>with second degree murder. Then we go to the case

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of Ralph y'arl, the sixteen year old black boy who

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>accidentally rings the wrong doorbell looking to pick up his

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>younger brothers and is met with a bullet to the

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>head and a bullet to the arm. This is a

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>story that I talked about earlier in the week in

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the episode Licensed to Kill, where it has taken me

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>days and days and days to process this and be

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>able to talk about it without bursting into tears. Thankfully,

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>by the grace of God in all the universe. Ralph

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>y'arl has been released from the hospital and is recovering

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>miraculously at home. He's recovering physically from his injuries, but

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I am certain emotionally scarred for sure, because all he

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>kept saying to his aunt was I didn't do anything wrong.

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing that even if he had done something wrong,

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>even many of them, any of these people have done

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.119
<v Speaker 1>something wrong, do you deserve to be fucking shot at?

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.839
<v Speaker 1>But in America, we shoot first and maybe we ask

0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>questions later. All of this stand your ground, ow fucking

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 1>wild wild West that the Republican Party has been conjuring

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>up for decades is now here. This is how we

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>live now. The week prior to this series of shootings

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that we experienced this week in the headlines, there was

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a shootout on a highway in Florida because of road rage, right,

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>because this is how we deal with things now. It

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>is the flooding of toxicity, of fear mongering that is

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>increasing anxiety, that is increasing racism and hate, that is

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>shrinking the minds of people and enlarging their hostility. Then

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we have the shooting that took place in Texas where

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>cheerleader Peyton Washington remains in ICU following a game on

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>her way home in a parking lot, her and her

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>friends go to the wrong car, are met with gunfire,

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:19.959
<v Speaker 1>and now she is in ICU fighting for her life.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Is this how we want to fucking live? Where we

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>can't go anywhere, we can't make mistakes, There's no room

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>for accidents, there's no room for missteps, because just waiting

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>behind a closed door on a porch in a parking

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>lot is someone in ready waiting to take you out there.

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Republican ideologies that more guns make us safer, tell me where,

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>because the ones who are facing the bullets are supposedly

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the people that they care about, you know, the children,

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the children that they don't want groomed right by wok ideology. Well,

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it isn't walk ideology. That's fucking killing them. It's the

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>fucking guns, it's the racist all hopped up on Fox

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and OAAN and Newsmax get hopped up all day injecting

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>that shit like it's fucking heroin into their veins. Somebody

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>rings a doorbell, somebody goes down a driveway. Ah, I

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta defend myself because that's what Fox News is telling

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>me to do. The grandson of the eighty four year

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>old white racist that shot Ralph y'all has been doing

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the media rounds where he says that, oh, you know,

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 1>his grandfather has racist tendency. I don't know what the

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>fuck that means. I know, either you're racist or you're

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>not right. That his grandfather has been listening NonStop to

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Fox News, o AN and Newsmax, that he spouts their

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theories from you know, COVID to black people being criminals,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and that it's a steady diet. He hasn't had much

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>contact with his grandfather in the last couple of years

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>because he said he's grown up and developed his own

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>political ideologies. There's a direct correlation, folks, that is being

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>made between what we are seeing in these headlines of

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>gun violence, mass shootings, quote unquote standing your ground and Fox.

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>So now let me move to my otherfuck it right

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of the week, which is Dominion settling their case against

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Fox for the big lie and implicating Dominion voting machines

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 1>as the main culprit in their lie that they've spread

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>since twenty twenty. So you all know that I hold

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>on to the mustard seed of hope that I stick

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>into my pocket and I just pray for it to sprout.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I had hoped that this Dominion case was going to

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 1>go fully to trial, to stay in the news, so

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that the real news, so that people, particularly Fox viewers,

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>knew that this entire network has been lying to them,

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that this wasn't just one incident but a pattern of behavior.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Right when opening arguments were to take place, Fox settled

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>for seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars to Dominion. Now,

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I want folks to understand something. And if you watched

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Ari Melber's show on MSNBC this week, you know he

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to give a huge rundown saying that you know,

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>for those of us me uh included, who believed that

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.359
<v Speaker 1>this settlement isn't historic when you look at the numbers.

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Sure it's historic when you look at the law. But

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>when you look at the numbers, Fox News brings in

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>four and a half billion dollars a year, seven hundred

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and eighty seven million dollars. Sure is sixteen percent as

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>he riddled off of their revenue. But I'm pretty sure,

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not a financier, but I'm pretty sure that

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>between insurance and tax ride offs that this isn't going

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to put a fucking ding in Fox whatsoever, let alone.

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Let alone it's multi billionaire CEO Rupert Murdoch. The reason

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 1>why they fucking settled is because they don't want their

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>shit air it out. But understand, this is again a

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>pattern of behavior, that's all Fox does. So I'm pretty

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>sure that they write into their fucking budgets for the year. Well,

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably soon because you know, we have no journalistic

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>integrity and we could give a fuck, but we'll write

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>it off. So sure, in terms of lawsuits against news networks,

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>is this historic? Yeah? Is it going to hurt Fox

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in any which way? No? Is it gonna change their

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>behavior on air? No? Do they have to issue an

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on air apology on any of the shows that we're

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.880
<v Speaker 1>doing most of the lying. No, will the Fox viewers

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>ever know that this case even happened. No, So, folks,

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.719
<v Speaker 1>when I look at this, I think that it's a

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>major fucking loss. Not for Dominion because they're walking away

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 1>with seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars, but for democracy,

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>for the fourth estate, for accountability and responsibility, because this

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is a disrupt behavior. All it did was tell them how

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 1>next time to hide their tracks better, Maybe use burner phones,

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe don't text, maybe pat people down to make sure

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that they're not recording you. But it's not going to

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>change what it is that they're putting out to tens

0:17:55.280 --> 0:18:00.199
<v Speaker 1>of millions of viewers every single day. Does demeanor and

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>have other lawsuits pending against Juliani and the Mike Pillow guy,

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike Lindell and you know, the bigger pushers of the

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Big lie as well as Newsmax and Oan. Yes, Newsmax

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and o AAN do not have the deep pockets that

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Fox does, so even though Fox is a parent company

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of Newsmax. So hopefully, you know, we see these move forward.

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>But if we believe things that we see, I'm sure

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll just see a series of settlements. So Dominion will

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.639
<v Speaker 1>be a billion dollar company by the time this is

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>all done, but our democracy will be in shreds. But

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, capitalism, folks, you know, I know how difficult

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it is is to maneuver through these stories, how difficult

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>it is to just kind of continue to grind, you know,

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>continue to be a cog in the wheel of capitalism

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and pretend that everything that we are seeing and hearing

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>isn't affecting us on a cellular level. Right, And it

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>would be a lie, right, because I know that my

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:35.640
<v Speaker 1>body betrayed me this week with sleepless nights and rage

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and then grief and then rage again, because everything that

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I see is just dark right now. I don't see

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the light. But I do want to end this fucked

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Friday with just a little bit, and I did the

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>same last week. Generation Z is a generation that is

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>being forced to fight for themselves at such a young age.

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 1>But it has often been in this country that those

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that were fighting the hardest were those whose lives were

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>just getting started. John Lewis was but a young man

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in his twenties when he was marching in the South

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and sitting at lunch counters to integrate and to stop

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the racist practice and policies of Jim Crow. It was

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a young people that were out in the streets protesting

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:57.399
<v Speaker 1>again it's a senseless war in Vietnam, And once again

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>now it is young people that are pouring into the streets,

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that are walking out of schools because many of them

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>don't yet have the right to vote, but they're watching

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 1>their futures be decided by people who don't care whether

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>or not they live and die at the end of

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a school year. They're watching their freedoms that their parents

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and grandparents readily enjoyed be stripped away before they have

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the ability to cast a ballot. It has always been

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>young people that have shown up to fight for a

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>future that the adults in the room have already given

0:21:52.400 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 1>up on. So when I see from Tennessee, can Florida

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and other states, when I see these young people leading

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the way, they are what I have hope in because

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I have lost faith in the legislators, I have lost

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>faith in the judges. But I believe that what these

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Republicans are doing are creating a generation of activists. We

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>won't save them, but I sure as fuck believe that

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>they are ready to save themselves. That is it for

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 1>me today, Dear friends on wokef as always power to

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the people and to all the people power. Get woke

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and stay woke as fuck.
