WEBVTT - American Oligarchs 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.560 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woke F Daily with 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.280 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Brooklyn Bunker. 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:24.760 So volks, interesting news, some interesting developments have happened, and 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.040 I wonder, I wonder if Merritt Garland has seen them. 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.400 I don't know what he sees these days, because I 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:36.160 don't know if he's actually on the job. But interestingly enough, 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.040 the January sixth Commission actually is, and they're the ones 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.239 that are doing the heavy lifting with regard to figuring 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:48.319 out exactly how the insurrection happened. Who is responsible by 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.000 doing Oh, I don't know. Over five hundred interviews, right. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.240 So this week, which was over shadowed by the State 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.520 of the Union this week, on Wednesday, the New York 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.200 Times had reported this and this I want to read 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.880 directly because folks, it feels like momentum. But I also 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.040 know America, so I don't want to get excited for 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.320 I get disappointed. Right, But here's what the New York 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.320 Times is reporting on the latest with the January sixth Committee. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.959 And I'm sure you have seen it, right, and so 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.920 here it is the House Committee investigating the January sixth 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.160 attack on the Capitol said on Wednesday that there was 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.840 enough evidence listen, enough evidence to conclude that former President 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.120 Donald Trump and some of his allies might have conspired 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.679 to commit fraud and obstruction by misleading Americans about the 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.280 outcome of the twenty twenty election and attempting to overturn 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.760 the results. Now, folks, we have known this, right like, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.480 this is something that we were very well aware of. 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.000 But we needed this investigation. We needed this committee to 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.320 do this work. And frankly, folks, the fact is we're 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.000 running out a fucking time. I know that I say 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.800 this often, but let me remind everyone. We have eight 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:12.440 months eight months for this committee to finish their investigation 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.040 to refer right, because part of what is happening here 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:22.919 is that the committee has no authority right to charge anyone. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.280 They really have no authority to do anything. Right. They 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.040 can file civil suits, they can do what have you. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.840 But here's the thing. The reality here is that what 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:40.160 this report is now outlining is very clear ways in 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.000 which No, it wasn't just an accident, It wasn't just 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.000 Donald Trump living in delusion around the fact that he 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.400 lost the twenty twenty election. No, he was defrauding the 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.040 American people. Him, along with the attorney John Eastman, who 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.639 wrote that power point for the insurrection, right, that they 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.320 frauded the American people. So this is what was in 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.639 the court filing in a civil case in California. This 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.360 is what they have laid out, they said, and I quote, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.760 they had accumulated evidence demonstrating that mister Trump, the conservative 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:20.840 lawyer John Eastman, and other allies could potentially be charged 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:26.160 with criminal violations including obstructing an official proceeding of Congress 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.760 and conspiracy to defraud the American people. Because here's what's 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.440 being here's what's being discovered. And I thought that this 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.800 was really interesting. Later on in this article they talk 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.120 about Jason Miller, and Jason Miller is a senior campaign 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.760 advisor with Trump. Now, in order for us to be 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.360 able to prove fraud, right, you have to prove that 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:53.720 Donald Trump knew damn well that he had lost the election, right, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.400 that he was going to pursue quote unquote pursue all 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.320 of these different avenues in order to overturn the election. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:07.320 But his allegations around fraud, which he still is doing 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:12.440 to this day, that his allegations around fraud are bullshit, right, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.599 and that he knew. He knew ahead before. Right before 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.320 election day, his own posters were telling him you are 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.360 going to lose. And so this is what else came 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.880 up in this New York Times article. Jason Miller, mister 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.400 Trump's senior campaign advisor, told the committee in a deposition 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.760 that mister Trump had been told soon after election day 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:42.000 by a campaign data expert, quote in pretty blunt terms, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.799 that he was going to lose, suggesting that mister Trump 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:50.080 was well aware that his months of assertions about a 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:56.040 stolen election were false. Mister Trump subsequently said he disagreed 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.640 with the data experts analysis, mister Miller said, because he 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.640 thought he could win in court. Now, let me remind 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.320 all of you, Donald Trump thought that he could win 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:11.279 in court, and his sixty sixty lawsuits that were brought 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:17.120 by that you know, fucking die dripping Giuliani. Right, We're 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.240 laughed out of court. They had no fucking standing. Right. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:28.080 You had Arizona doing forensics looking for Chinese bamboo in 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:33.120 the fucking like election ballots. Right. You had Georgia do 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.760 multiple recounts that cost the people of Georgia millions of dollars. 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.680 They did at least two right to prove that there 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:47.080 was no fraud. Donald Trump knew this, but he knows 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.039 what we all should know by now is that a 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.360 lie will be around the corner before the truth gets 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.360 out the door. Donald Trump knew exactly what he was doing. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:03.159 He was waging a campaign against against the United States, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:08.400 against the sanctity of our elections, against what is the 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.400 foundation of our democracy, which is free and fair elections. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.719 Donald Trump just didn't want to lose. Donald Trump knew 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.280 that by not having the cover of the White House 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.720 that he was going to lose his get out of 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.919 jail free card. But here's the kicker, folks. So let 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.200 me say this before I give you the kicker of 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.599 my thoughts on Merrick Garland, which you know where my 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.000 thoughts are on Merrick Garland. But let me read this. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:41.280 The evidence gathered by the committee provides at minimum a 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.919 good faith basis for concluding that President Trump has violated 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.760 the obstruction count. The filing, written by Douglas end Letter, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.719 the General Counsel of the House, said, adding the Select 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.960 Committee also has a good faith basis for concluding that 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.400 the President and the members of his campaign engage in 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:08.560 a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States. The filing 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.400 said that a review of the materials may reveal that 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.080 the president and the members of his campaign engaged in 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.880 common law fraud in connection with their efforts to overturn 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.200 the twenty twenty election. And of course nobody responded from 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.960 the Trump campaign. But here's the breaking news that I 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:31.800 just heard before I started recording. Guess who is up 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:39.320 next for the committee with their hails of subpoenas. Kimberly 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:46.880 Gilfoil that loud Mouth coped up x Fox anchor, fiancee 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:53.280 of Don Trump Junior. Right, so we know that she 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:59.480 knows a lot, right that this woman was on the ellipses, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.520 she was on the stage, We saw her at every 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.480 campaign rally, but most importantly, we saw her on the 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.760 day of the insurrection. So now the committee wants to 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.120 know what do you know? And will you follow the 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.640 law right and appear before the committee. Now, my problem 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.640 with the committee has been that they are politely asking 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.200 these people to show up that they know we're not 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.720 going to show up. Coincidentally, though, maybe their tactics are 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:35.200 working because Pence's people have cooperated. Jason Miller cooperated right, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.439 that when you start to put the threat of potentially 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.760 right going to jail, being held in content all of 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.960 these things. Because we've talked about this with our friend 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.520 Glenn Kershner. This committee actually has power. Congress has power, 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.120 they just don't use it. Right, So I'm very interested 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.000 to hear what it is that they think that Kimberly 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.839 Gilfoyd know. Now. I joked on to it, and I said, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.200 I'm certain that bitch is gonna go and get herself 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:11.080 a speedy, speedy wedding in Vegas to Junior so that 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.000 when push comes to shove, she don't have to testify 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.440 against her lion ass man. Right, But it's not going 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.920 to help her with the information that she knew before 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.160 they were married. Right. And here's the thing, is much 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.920 in the same way, and I'm going to beat this horse, y'all, 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.760 much in the same way that the news and the 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.640 headlines are talking about all of the Russian oligarchs getting 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.960 their yacht seized and getting their second, third, fourth, fifth 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.720 homes seized and getting their assets frozen. Right again, I say, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.840 where is that same fucking smoke for the American oligarchs? 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.840 Where is that same smoke for the Trump family? So 0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:01.720 the question remains now as right as this panel is 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.720 putting together all of this inform I mean, over five 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:11.319 hundred interviews, I'm certain probably millions of sheets of paper, 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:17.120 testimony information. They need to decide whether or not they 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.120 are going to refer this to the Department of Justice 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.760 for them to take action. But here's the thing, much 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.559 like our Vice president, I need to put fucking Merrick 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.200 Garland's face on a milk carton. Now I know he's 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.280 alive because he was sitting in the audience at the 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.240 State of the Union gritting and smiling like he's been 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.040 doing a good job. And I'm like, no, sir, you 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.640 should actually have no smile across your face because you 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.040 haven't done dick right. You came out hot and heavy 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.280 talking about what the Department of Justice was going to 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.040 do with Russia and the Russian oligarchs, but you have 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.079 said nothing, nothing about what this Department of Justice is 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.720 going to be doing to ensure right as he's so 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.199 aggressively stated that no person is above the law, that 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.800 we're going to follow this where it takes us, well, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.000 it's taken you to a pile of fucking evidence on 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.720 your desk, and the question is whether or not you're 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.040 going to do something about it, or you're going to 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.120 remain the chicken shit attorney general that is afraid of 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:23.040 his own fucking shadow. The article goes on to say this, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:29.000 the Select Committee has responded to doctor Eastman's efforts to 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:33.440 discharge his responsibility by accusing him of criminal conduct. This 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.200 is what is being said by mister Burnham, who is 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:42.120 the attorney for Donald Trump's attorney, doctor Eastman. So Eastman, 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:47.440 if you know too interestingly enough, is being investigated by 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.480 the state of California for you know, going after his 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:58.400 legal license and whether or not that his misdoings, misgivings 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:03.679 with the Trump and men stration rights should have him 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.200 lose his law license this same way that Juliani has 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:11.400 lost his fucking law license. Right. Trump only surrounds himself 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.680 with the best fucking people who don't actually know the law, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.120 they know it enough so that they break it. Right. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.440 So Eastman's lawyer is like, oh, well, this is why 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.560 they're going to try and charge him with criminal conduct, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.760 because you see that you can't use attorney client privilege 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.880 when there is thought that a crime has actually been committed. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.800 And so what the committee is saying is that yes, indeed, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.800 there was a crime that was committed. So your little 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.960 ruse of saying that everything that I said and did 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.040 with the president is between me and you. No, now 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:50.160 it's between all of us, right because there are there 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:56.240 is clear evidence that crimes were committed. But see, the 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.080 thing is, this is what is going to fuck Democrats up, 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.320 because Democrats like, I mean, you give them an opening 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.480 and they shut the door, like this is how they operate. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.440 You say to them, here's how we move forward, and 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.120 they're like, no, i'd I'd rather move backwards, right, I'd 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.840 rather moon walk my way out of this. That's their 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:23.920 reality and their thinking. So if, if, and when, because 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:28.120 I believe that it is a when this committee delivers 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.000 to the Department of Justice this mountain of evidence against 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:37.040 Donald Trump and he does not move right with haste, 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.000 because right now, this motherfucker been moving like he's a sloth, right, 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.719 like maybe an inch every couple of months. He has 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.040 not moved on this at all. And we know through 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.840 our friend Glenn Kushner, that they're like, oh, well, you know, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.920 prosecutors don't like to bring cases that they could possibly 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.679 use lose. But I'm like, here's the thing. We're about 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:03.400 to lose our democracy. We're about to lose our power 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.040 and our authority to get to the bottom of what 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.600 happened leading up to the insurrection the day of and 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:16.240 then afterwards, because what will happen in the next eight 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.800 months is this, Let me paint the picture. Republicans will 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.840 win in midterms because I don't know what the fuck 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.840 Democrats are running on, because literally outside of the infrastructure 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.480 bill and some money that they gave for COVID relief 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.000 checks months and months and months ago, they have nothing 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:39.960 to run on, right nothing. If if Marrick Garland decides 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.440 to actually move in the next couple of months, what 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.840 they can run on is fucking law and order. What 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.560 they can run on is actually threading the needle between 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.560 going after a Russian dictator whose hell bent on authoritarianism 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.680 and bringing back the USSR and what is happening in 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.920 our own country right now. And then they can run 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.320 on the fact that no one is above the law, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.520 that this past president was criminal, and we are going 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.160 to go after him with the fullest extent of everything 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.000 that we got. But what will happen, dear friends, is 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.960 that if those Republican lion asked treasonous ass motherfuckers are 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.560 able to get the gavel back in their hands. That 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.000 committee is dead in the water because they will no 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.800 longer control the House. And then if they're able to 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.760 take back the Senate as well, you're talking about being 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.720 able to gum up the works at the Department of Justice. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.680 So whatever it was that they were doing now doesn't 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.680 get done. We are running out of time. And the 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.840 question that I continue to have is does anybody else 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.960 realize this? Because in every single room in the fucking 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.080 White House and in all of these agencies should be 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:02.920 a fucking countdown clock to November twenty twenty two, because 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.120 everything that they are thinking about doing for their next 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.720 couple of years that they have the White House is done. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.840 It's done now. They're not doing shit now. You know, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.240 Biden has the authority to be rolling out executive orders 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.400 in the same way that Obama did. He's working within 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.280 inside of a party that doesn't want to do anything. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:31.280 You got Joe Mansion on Tuesday sitting up with the 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.320 Republicans laughing it up. He's laughing at all of us. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.720 They say, Oh, nobody else can win in Virginia, No 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.880 other Democrat can win. And I'm saying to you, a 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:47.320 Democrat hasn't won. Joe mansion one very different, very very different. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.800 So you have no policies to run on. You continue 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.720 to say that you know we're going to be in 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.560 this together, and these insurrection is we will hold them accountable, 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:08.400 we will find them, and then nothing. Joe Biden on 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:13.800 Tuesday didn't even mention the insurrection. He didn't even mention 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.760 the threat to our democracy. He didn't even in his 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.360 whole fund fund the police. Who could have talked about 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:27.240 the heroism of the Capitol Police, right and how the honor, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.400 the courage and the bravery that they showed that Republicans 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:36.240 wanted to block honoring them with the Congressional Medal of Freedom, right, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.240 that they were mocked on Fox News. He had the 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:44.720 opportunity to bring America back to that day and then 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.840 to tell us that he is going to do everything 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:54.080 within his power to ensure that everyone at all levels 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.600 that were responsible for trying to bring down our capital, 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.280 build and hang the form of Vice President of the 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:10.760 United States will be taken care of, justice will be served. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:16.560 I will see to it. But nothing, not a word. 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.000 And I keep thinking to myself, I'm like, do they 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:28.199 want to lose? Do they want to lose because I 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.720 don't know what You're going back to each and every 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:36.720 community that is represented in the Democrats a big tent. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.800 What are you going back to them with? You're going 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.840 back to women and people with uterus is and saying, oh, 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:48.120 my goodness, we had the opportunity we passed a bill 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.919 that would precodify rov Wade. Nope, Joe Mansion tank that 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.720 are we going back to the black community and saying 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.320 that we're going to be certain with the passage of 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:06.000 the Voting Rights Act, which we've passed to make sure 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:10.960 that your votes count. Nope, that wasn't done. Are we 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.280 going to the black community and other communities that are 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.199 abused by law enforcement? Are we saying that we have 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:23.000 police reform? Nope, that wasn't done. Oh the new climate 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.879 report that came out that basically said that the world 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.720 is actually fucked. We're going to pass the Green New Deal. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:35.440 Did we do that? Nope. So all of these things 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:40.960 that they were cheering for while Democrats were chainting USA USA, 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.160 USA and jumping up and down and imploding at their 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.919 fucking pepper Alley, none of those things have passed, and 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:52.879 none of them have any future of passing. So again, 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.040 when people sit back and they think to themselves, when 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.960 they rushed to the polls to sure that Donald Trump 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.120 wouldn't get a second term, what did these people get 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.480 in return? What is the return on our investment? Right now, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.320 a year into this administrator, a year plus into this administration, 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:19.119 what did we get? We've gotten a goose egg. Nothing. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:25.480 So if I'm this administration and this committee comes out 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:30.280 with this heavy hit and shit that the former president 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:36.480 of the United States is complicit in criminal activity, then 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.440 I'm going to use that and it's going to be 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.560 my campaign message. It's going to be on every radio station, 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.800 every team V network, every ad that you see on 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.560 social media. But do you think that Democrats are going 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:55.639 to do that? No? And for the life of me, folks, 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.040 I'm telling you, there are days, there have been days, 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.320 many days in a row, when I'm thinking to myself, 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.600 what the fuck am I doing in this party? Honestly, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.640 I don't like being a loser, right like, I like sense, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:17.160 I like logic, I like strength, I like strategy. None 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.280 of that is present in the current formation of the 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:25.960 Democratic Party. It's not present in the Biden Harris administration 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.240 or Biden and we only use Harris when there are 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.560 black faces around. Otherwise we hide her someplace in a 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.359 tower less White people recognize that there's a black woman 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.680 that is a one heart beat away from the presidency 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.359 and flip out and burn everything fucking down to the ground. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:51.200 I realized that this administration is so scared of everything right. 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.200 The only agenda should have been voting rights. The only 0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.640 thing that they should have been working on. Wasn't fucking structure. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:05.760 Wasn't this fucking kumbaya look at us wherebipartisan bullshit after 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.000 the ship that we had lived through with Trump for 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:14.679 four years. No, it should have been to strengthen our democracy. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.200 It should have been to ensure that our elections remain 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:23.439 free and fair and that people can vote right. It 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.720 should have been rolling out a bill that would disallow 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.680 the states that used to be under preclearance for changing 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.320 of their voting rights laws that the fucking Supreme Court gutted. 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:41.520 We should have fixed those things, But instead they wanted 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.359 to do what do you think that Republicans want to do? 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.520 That's there, that's how they act. What do we think 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.400 Republicans will like? Oh, let's move with an attorney general 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:56.520 that Republicans can get behind. Let's move with a policy 0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:00.080 that Republicans will like that their base may agree on. 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:07.439 What about our base? Why are they never concerned with 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:13.880 disappointing us? This is the real question. Why are they 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.760 never concerned with disappointing black people? Why are they never 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:22.720 concerned with disappointing women? They take more care and time 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:27.440 trying to pussy foot around and get Republicans on their 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:31.400 side than they do with hammering down and giving their 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.400 base everything that they want. I wish that Democrats treated 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.920 their base the way that fucking Republicans do. Give them 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.560 everything that they want. But there's no fear there because 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.000 their assumption is that we don't have any place else 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.280 to go. And I'm telling you it's a miscalculation that 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.679 they're making because you know where people have to go home, 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.960 not to the polls. And you will say, oh, well, 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.359 that's shooting yourself in the foot. Well, my foot is 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:05.240 already blown off at this fucking point. So what's the 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:12.560 difference what we're up against? Right? As you see what 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:20.040 is playing out in Texas, what is playing out in Iowa, now, 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:26.320 what is playing out in Florida. These governors are making 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:31.760 their moves right for twenty twenty four. This is why 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:37.400 they are going after trans kids. Iowa just pass legislation 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:44.040 to ban transgender kids right from participating in sports, not 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:48.560 only at the K through twelve level, but also at 0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:54.360 the collegiate level as well. They make up a fraction, right, 0:24:54.440 --> 0:25:00.399 a fraction. People have said, of no threat right within 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.360 the sports world in all of the things that are 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.280 being said, Oh it's unfair, it's this, it's that they're 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:09.160 a fraction of the population. But you see, Republicans are 0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.080 making them their target because they want to keep the 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:16.920 embers of the culture war hot, and the best way 0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.359 for them to do that is to pick the most 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.399 marginalized group that they think nobody gives a shit about 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.680 and go after them with everything that they have, so 0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:31.000 that they can showcase to their base, to the Republican 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.159 Party that they're with the shits, that they're with it, 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.520 They're with all of the Trump is and except guess what, 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:44.040 they're more strategic. They actually no policy. So what we 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.720 are up against. We shouldn't be thinking, oh, my god, 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.800 Donald Trump may run in twenty twenty four. No, you 0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:55.160 should be scared shitless of a discantist running, of an 0:25:55.200 --> 0:26:00.360 abbot running because those motherfuckers win, They win, they win. 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:06.080 Oh my god, it will make the Handmaid's Tail look 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.480 like a fucking Christmas Carol. Do you know what I'm saying? 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.640 Like it will make everything that we think is terrible 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:20.440 look like child's play. You see, the thing about the 0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:25.600 Trump administration, while they were so disgusting, right, they were 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:31.720 also sloppy and stupid. The thing about these other Republicans 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:35.199 who are more dangerous than Donald Trump is that they 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:40.320 are smarter and they are sharper. They know what they're doing. 0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:45.959 Do you see how they passed that law, that vigilante 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:51.280 law in Texas that would allow people to put out 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:56.960 bounties on abortion providers, on anyone you're uber driver that 0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:01.000 is driving you to a clinic that they can sue. Oh, 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:02.840 I think my neighbor down the street. I think she 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:04.760 said she was going to the supermarket, but I think 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.920 she went to the Planned Parenthood ten thousand dollars lawsuit. 0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:11.520 But you see, they did it in a way that 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:15.119 you really can't suit. You can't do anything until it 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:20.160 actually happens. Right. But what they are realizing, what Republicans 0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:23.600 are so fucking savvy around, is that the threat is 0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:28.119 good enough right, because what they're doing this is a 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:38.680 messaging campaign. Right. Texas and Florida are the Republican Party's 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:44.680 playground right now. They are gaming out everything that they 0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:48.879 will do at the federal level if they get power again. 0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:54.400 They are gaming it out in Texas and in Florida. 0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.919 And that should scare the shit out of everybody. And 0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:01.960 you know, I have friends sometimes who say to me, oh, Danielle, like, 0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.880 we don't have to worry. We're in New York. New 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.199 York is not a fortress. The Blue States are not 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:12.720 a fortress. You saw what Donald Trump tried to do 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:19.200 around COVID, not giving Blue States the resources that they 0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:27.240 needed because he didn't want to. You can decide, okay, 0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:31.639 so we're no longer going to provide federal funding for X, 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.480 Y and Z based on blah blah blah and begin 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:40.840
