WEBVTT - There is No Middle Ground 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.680 Good morning, keeps in. Welcome to Okay f Daily with 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.840 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Bunker. Folks. 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.720 First off, we have made it through another week in America, 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.880 so bravo, Welcome to Friday. I want to start off 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.680 there was just so many stories this week, but I 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.920 want to start off with a couple of things that 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:42.400 are just so disgusting with regard to Republicans and what 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.080 they've been doing. So if you remember, like take a 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:51.040 walk back to your youth, right to the Republicans of yesteryear, 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:56.120 whose slogan was about small government, right, that they didn't 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:01.080 want government intrusion. And I would argue that today's libertarians 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.120 or whoever those people are that still identify as libertarians, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:10.679 are roughly what the earlier machination of the Republican Party was. 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.920 It was like small government, no government overreached, the government's 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:19.280 too much in my business, YadA, YadA, YadA. Now, right, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.440 you can see by virtue of what is happening across 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.360 multiple red states, right, and a majority of her states 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.160 in this country. I believe it's about thirty eight states 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.840 are it's definitely over thirty are controlled by Republican governors, 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:41.600 and you have this matchup between Florida and Texas, between 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:46.400 death Santis and Abbott on who can be the worst? Right, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.080 It's like Texas will do something egregious and then Florida's like, wait, 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.760 hold my beer, let me do something. You'reconian. Oh wait 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.280 hold my beer, I can one up you. And it 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.600 seems to be this continued one uping of how horrible 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:06.880 can be for your constituents. Right, So, to make matters 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.519 even worse, We've been talking a lot on woke a 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:19.400 f with abortion advocates, with abortion storytellers, talking about prior 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:25.919 to the dab's decision, which totally got rid of, wiped out, decimated, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:31.799 destroyed a nearly fifty year precedent with Roe v. Wade, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.320 and then following the decision, We've talked with a lot 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.800 of people and the thing that I have been most 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.680 upset about is the lack of urgency, and not only 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.880 the lack of urgency from the Biden administration, but just 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.600 the lack of strategy altogether. When we think about when 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.160 the leaked document came out, we had at least a 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.480 two and a half month lead on what we knew 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.360 could potentially be coming down the pike. And I know 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.960 if it was just this hopeful nature of Democrats to 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.520 think like, oh no, no, they would never do that, 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.720 even though it was written in black and white, over 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.079 ninety eight pages exactly what it was that they were 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.520 going to do. But this administration waited until after the 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.960 fact to even put together a task force to we 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.640 even start to think about, well, what can we do? 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.280 And my anger and frustration comes because I'm just like, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.960 not only did they give you a two months plus 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.200 lead time to the destruction that a reversal of this 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.800 magnitude was going to have on this country immediately in 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.800 the states that all had trigger laws for Robie Wade, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.640 But if you really think about it, y'all had like 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:53.320 five decades lead because Republicans never stopped organizing in plain 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:58.200 sight saying that their number one objective, which they finally 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.520 got after fifty years, was to overturn Roe v. Wade. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.560 So again, confused about the lack of decision to codify 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.760 Roe v. Wade when we did have a supermajority for 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.400 the brief time that we did in the Obama administration, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.360 and why Democrats have always stayed away from doing what 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.760 was right by taking those measures because they're so concerned 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.760 with their present day power they can't fathom what could 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.919 potentially be coming down the road. And therein lies my 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.960 problem with the fucking Democratic Party, which is, if you 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.040 at this stage, having lived through the last several years 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.800 under Donald Trump and Trump is um if you are 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.040 not well aware of the lengths that Republicans are willing 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.479 to go in order to secure their power. I don't 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.279 know what else it is to tell you, and I 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.520 don't know how else to ring the alarm. So let 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.880 me ring this alarm. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.000 by the way, apparently some point in time was fucking indicted, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:07.440 but then the DOJ took forever to put his trial together. Nonetheless, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.159 Ken Paxton and the state of Texas are suing the 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.560 Biden administration. Why are they suing the Biden administration because 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.640 one of the pushbacks that Biden did have in his 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:28.160 toolbox was to have HHS say that all places, all states, 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:33.920 all areas that are receiving federal money under HHS guidelines 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:40.400 must if the life of the pregnant person is at 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:49.120 risk right due to a complicated emergency situation in their pregnancy, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:55.960 then an abortion must and should be an option, and 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:03.360 that that is directly in HHS guidelines. So Texas which 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.560 was one of the first states to have their six 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.360 week abortion ban, which again, for those of you who 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.560 have never had a menstrual cycle, most people do not 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.320 know that they are fucking pregnant after six weeks. It 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:22.000 takes you to miss said period, and many pregnant, many 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.200 people who have the ability to get pregnant miss periods. Right, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.760 that is just part of cycles, and so or they 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.560 come late or what have you. So they had a 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:39.159 six week ban. They then institute their vigilante band. But 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.840 now Ken Paxton is saying, oh no, no, no, that's 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.160 not enough. We don't give a fuck if anyone's life 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:51.240 is at risk of at all. There is no there 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.680 is no where what Republicans are saying, and let me 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.800 just say this and no on certain terms, there is 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:05.720 no middle ground. There is no where to meet these people. Right. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.640 Rape is on the table, incest is on the table, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.880 death of the pregnant person is on the table. There 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:17.760 is nowhere to go. They see absolutely no exception needing 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.320 to be made and they don't give a fuck if 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.320 your life is going to be at risk, so long 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:31.600 as they can preserve a collection of cells. So you breathing, living, heart, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.960 pounding human that is breathing oxygen. We could give a 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:42.040 fuck so long as we can preserve these cells, or 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:47.200 it actually doesn't even matter, because Danielle Campamore, our friend 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.520 and writer for The Today Show, has also said for 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.400 today dot Com has also lifted up a story about 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:59.400 a woman who is pregnant was received information living in 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.840 a red stack that her pregnancy was not going to 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.800 make it determine it was not. It is not a 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.480 viable pregnancy. She cannot get an abortion. The baby is 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.119 not going to make it right. And so this woman 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:18.680 is essentially walking around with a living with a living 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:24.600 coffin inside of her, right, Like, can you imagine that 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:31.200 the state is getting to decide your emotional and physical 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:37.000 well being, that they are forcing this woman to continue 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:43.240 each day carrying a baby inside of her that is 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.280 not going to make it. Just just think about receiving 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:52.199 that news right and then feeling like, my God, I 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.560 need to make this decision as soon as possible, because 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.040 I need at some point not only to begin my 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.680 physical healing process, but to begin my emotional and mental 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.320 healing process. And the State's saying no, you should continue 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:13.720 to suffer because that's what's happening. And Ken Paxton and 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.480 the state of Texas have basically said to every person 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:22.280 who can become pregnant in that state, fuck you, that's 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.360 what That's what they've said. So they're gonna sue hhs 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.840 and say, oh, no, you have government overreach. They have 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.600 the federal government has overreach and ensuring that the life 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:40.080 of the person that is carrying said baby should supersede 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.439 the baby that has yet to be born. And again, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.839 I use baby right now because I'm using the language 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:52.360 of what Ken Paxson is saying. This is not what 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.880 this is, and this is the trap that we all 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:00.560 fall into. But the reality is that when we then 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:06.319 say callous, they put on us this callousness that we 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.640 do not care about life. And the reality is that 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.480 we have not found the way to say, are you 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.680 fucking kidding me? You don't care about life? Do you 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.520 see the pushback that is happening right now, the backtracking, 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.400 I should say, with Republicans and outlets like the disgusting 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.160 Wall Street Journal who had the audacity to put together 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.880 an op ed about the ten year old girl that 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:35.640 was raped in Ohio and then they put out an 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.640 op ed that said, oh, this abortion, this story is 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.640 just too good to be true, too good to be true. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.880 How the fuck? What kind of human being would even 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:54.800 think to write something like that without doing any verification. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:11:00.040 And the trauma that we just repeatedly put rape and 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.760 incests victims through in this country before Rovie Wade was 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:12.319 reversed is disturbing and disgusting. But then to write quote 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.720 unquote think pieces to provide your opinion and then lo 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.280 and behold, what do we find out? Oh, the ten 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.120 year old girl who was six weeks and three days 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.800 pregnant so was not able to get an abortion in 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.000 Ohio then has to be taken across state lines to 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:38.280 Indiana to receive an abortion there. Her rapist, by the way, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.319 was caught confessed she was raped on two different occasions. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:50.000 Now the state Republican ag in Indiana has decided to 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:55.360 investigate the doctor that did the abortion. What the fuck? Oh, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.080 because the doctor should have turned away the ten year 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.640 old girl. That's right, because we don't care. In this country, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:10.120 white sis men in power could care less, right, I mean, 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:15.200 we know this country is patriarchal. We know that is 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.240 built upon on misogyny. But a ten year old girl 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.199 conservative quote unquote conservative fascists can't find it, can't find 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.880 the ticking in their own heart to think about their 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:35.880 own fucking kids, their own families. No, and what gets me, folks, 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:41.080 is that Democrats will not use this. No, they will 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.079 not use this for mid terms. They will not tell 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.400 stories over and over again that will run on your 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.720 television that tell you exactly who the Republicans are. Oh, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.559 by the way, one hundred and sixty eight Republicans voted 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.840 against an active shooter bill that was put out because 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.439 we shouldn't be putting out alerts apparently about active shooters. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:11.720 What the fuck? How do we allow this crystal fascist 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:17.439 cult to continue to control this country and not even 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.400 so much as message in a way that should run 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.000 over and over and over again that they don't care 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:30.640 about life, they don't care about your kids. We just 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:37.120 got new video of the Uvaldi police doing not a 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:42.120 fucking thing as nineteen children and their teachers were murdered. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.480 The video shows which was edited, by the way, to 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.400 take out the sounds of screaming children. And I say, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.080 for whose benefit? For whose benefit was that? I'm sure 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.840 as fuck. It was not the parents benefit. I'm pretty 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.920 sure it was for the benefit of the police and 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:06.040 the benefit of the fucking governor. Oh let them not 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.440 hear the screaming children that those police officers surely fucking 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.600 heard as they were sitting out putting hand sanitizer on 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.960 their hands and looking at their phones, fully in combat gear, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.000 and then denying parents who are running into the building 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:26.600 with absolutely nothing on but just the fire inside them 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.040 to go rescue their children and do the job that 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.120 cops don't want to do. But these are the same people, 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:38.240 the same politicians who vote against legislation to keep your 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.920 children safe, to take weapons of war off the street. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.560 And they turn around and they say, oh, no, you 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.920 know what we should do. We should arm teachers. Motherfucker. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.840 You arm cops and they don't do a fucking thing, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.600 But now you expect teachers to do more than the 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:05.800 police officers do. Right, every single one of those Uvaldi 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.160 police officers should be charged as an accessory to murder 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:17.920 nineteen counts, every single one of them that were called 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.920 to the scene of rob elementary school. Every single one 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.200 of them should lose their fucking jobs. Their pension should 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.000 go to those families, and they should be tried as 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:35.680 accessories to murder because that is what they are. How 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:43.080 we continue to take the word of police officers to 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:48.080 hold them in some high esteem. And the question that 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.640 I ask is why, why are they deserving? Because I 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.600 can name at least five things that have happened this 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.320 fucking month, and the month is not even halfway over yet, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.720 that have happened that show us that police officers in 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.720 this country not only should they not be able to 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:11.120 carry guns, they shouldn't have the protection of qualified immunity. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:17.360 That every time that they empty out their cartridges into 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.480 the bodies of unarmed black people, every single one of 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:27.080 those bullets should carry a year, two, three, four, five 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.440 years in jail when it comes out that they emptied 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.720 their weapon on the wrong person or an unarmed person. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:41.200 That every time, for every make an example. You know, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.920 this government always wants to make an example of black 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.800 and brown people, never want to make an example of 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:52.960 white people that just get away literally with murder. It's amazing. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.400 I have people, you know. The other day I had 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.440 posted my video on TikTok about the valdiol Please, if 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.400 you're not following me on TikTok, I'm at Danielle Moody 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.200 Underscore totally follow me there. I'm having the most fun. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.520 When I posted this video about the Uvaldi police and 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.720 somebody in my comments who I later blocked, said the 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.440 way that you go after police and then you expect 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:24.560 them to protect you. Wait what so oh they didn't. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:30.000 They didn't pledge an oath to protect and serve. It's 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:35.040 contingent upon my attitude. So if I'm nice, if I 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.920 kiss their ass, if I beg right for dignity and respect, 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.280 you mean that, then I'll be deserving of the protection 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.040 that my tax dollars pay for. Is that how that works? 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.840 I don't fucking think so, Hey there, I want to 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.320 tell you about another podcast I think you'll love.

Moving on to Donald Trump, the seventh hearing, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:05.360 even the congressional hearing on January sixth was just as 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:11.840 wild as the sixth hearing that featured Cassidy Hutchinson. But folks, 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.080 I want to tell you that that December eighteenth meeting 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.920 that we learned about that fucking as Cassidy Hutchinson said 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:27.840 in her text messages, the unhinged meeting, you know it 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:33.720 would read Axios did a fantastic like thirteen minute read 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.240 or thirteen minute listen on exactly what went down in 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.720 the West Wing and then would later continue on into 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:48.280 the Presidential residence on that night. And how these people 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:55.159 Sidney Powell, Juliani, Mark Flynn, the fucking overstocked guy, and 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.120 whoever else were able to just mosey on into the 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.199 White House just shows you what a loose operation that 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:09.439 they were running over there. But nonetheless, Sidney Powell, I 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.240 am just so confused about how this woman got a 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:18.960 law degree. I really am, because even like the accusations, 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.199 the baseless accusations that she was throwing around in the 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:29.520 West Wing about we need to seize the machines because 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.720 they're corrupted from Venezuela, and I have the evidence. And 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.320 Pat Sippoloni, White House counsel, whose video we watched during 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.760 the seventh Congression the seventh Congressional hearing, is like, oh, 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:45.120 you have evidence, show me. Oh you you have real evidence, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.040 show me, because that's what we're looking for. But you 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.520 have no evidence. Everything that you were saying is bullshit. 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.960 But then I want people to understand the mindset of 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:01.040 these people who were surrounding Donald Trump and how they 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:09.359 feed into Donald Trump's megalomania. The man was clearly desperate 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.040 and unhinged, right, that is the only way to think 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:19.679 about Donald Trump in the days following the election, following 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:24.040 the certification, leading into the inauguration. This was a man 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.800 that was literally grasping at straws and just wanted to 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.880 hear from anybody, didn't matter who it was, didn't matter 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.440 if they made sense at all, didn't matter if there 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.440 was a legal route to take, so long as they 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.679 would tell him, I am fighting for you. You're going 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.840 to remain president. We still have a path to victory. 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:53.960 What are you talking about? There was no path. Mark Meadows, 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.800 My god, Mark Meadows. If Mark Meadows does not get 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.960 indicted by the Department of Justice, among many other people, 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:05.000 but him in particular, I really have no faith then, 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.160 no faith in this Justice Department, no faith in government. Right, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.760 we might as well all develop our own compounds, have 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.280 our own laws, and just govern ourselves, which is essentially 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.680 where we're headed. Parable of the Sewer, if you didn't 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.600 read it yet, will be a really good guide and 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:26.200 necessary for this next phase of America. But Mark Meadows, 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:32.480 knowing that these people are absolute crackpots, says, oh well, 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.560 I'm going to find a constitutional loophole. I'm sorry, Is 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:41.240 Mark Meadows a constitutional scholar, and so Mark Meadows also 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.920 only gets his power from being a leech onto Donald Trump. 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:52.000 All of these people do, and is busy just trying 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.400 to find some random loophole in the constitution that allows 0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:01.280 Donald Trump to rule like a king. Thank God that 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.760 the founding Fathers, in some way, shape or form kind 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:09.760 of sorder foresaw a Donald Trump coming, but clearly not 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.920 good enough because with these original lists that are now 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:19.080 overseeing our country from there, from upon high at the 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:24.600 Supreme Court. You know, I don't even think that if 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:28.360 this case, say, say go on this walk with me. 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.680 If Donald Trump and all of his lackeys that were 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.720 criming in the fucking Oval Office, criming all over that 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:42.399 White House were the masterminds of the violent insurrection, donald 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.840 Trump knew what was happening. Not only did Donald Trump 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:49.680 know it was Plan B right, Plan A was all 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:54.400 of the lawsuits that were laughed out of court, according 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:58.560 to Axios. Sidney Powell then says, when she's called out 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.240 in the Oval Office on the day December eighteenth meeting, 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.040 all of the judges are corrupt. We can't trust any 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:10.560 of them. One of White House staff says, even the 0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:14.520 ones that we appointed, the ones that are laughing you 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.359 out of court? You mean those we can't trust either, 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:23.040 they're also right doing something, they're they're also corrupt. What 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:26.440 are you talking about? And is this your basis for everything? 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.479 That everyone needs to be replaced in every such place 0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:36.359 and run by you lunatics, which is essentially what she wanted. 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.720 She was going to be named some type of general 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:46.879 counsel within the Department of Justice so that she could 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:53.680 lead up the Voting Task Force. What and then when 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.600 Trump is told once again by I guess the kind 0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:02.080 of rational people in the room, you can't do that. 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.920 That is actually the Attorney General would be able to 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.639 make that appointment happen, and that's not happening. First you 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:13.159 try with Jeffrey Clark, and everybody in the DOJ is like, 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.719 so we're out. If that's the move that you're going 0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:17.960 to make, is to get rid of Bill Barren these 0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.119 last couple of weeks and then install Jeffrey Clark and 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:25.200 then install Sydney Powell, and then somehow Donald Trump was 0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.639 going to remain president of the United States? Like, was 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.959 that the timeline? Was that the chain reaction that we 0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:35.000 were looking at that they were looking for, folks, If 0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:38.760 you have not read the Axios article by all means 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:43.120 like it would. It would be amazing entertainment. It reads 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.760 like murder, she wrote, without the murder. It's like an 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:50.320 Agatha Christie novel right the way that it reads, And 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:55.000 it would be amazing entertainment. If I don't know, our 0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.679 democracy wasn't hanging in the balance as to whether or 0:25:57.720 --> 0:25:59.760 not the Department of Justice is going to wake the 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:03.440 fire up and actually do their job. The other thing 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:08.800 that I keep hearing come out from cable news outlets 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:14.480 is asking questions to legal analysts about whether or not 0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:18.680 the Department of Justice will indict Donald Trump, and if 0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:24.679 that indictment will be bad for the country. I'm sorry, what, 0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.800 what the fuck do you think could be worse than 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.800 what is happening right now? You mean, holding the rich 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:38.560 white man accountable for obstructing justice, for seditious conspiracy, for fraud, 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.600 for all of the things would do more harm than 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:47.800 not holding said person accountable and then blatantly telling the 0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.960 American people what we already know is that there are 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.160 multiple tracks of justice, and unless you have the bank 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:59.280 account to match the first track, you will always end 0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.840 up in jail, right, Because that's how it works. If 0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.159 you are poor and you are a person of color, 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.080 you have no defense, right you are a criminal from 0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:10.600 the jump. But if you have the complexion for the 0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:14.240 protection and then the bank account right for that, oh, 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.720 then we'll just look the other way. That's essentially the 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.120 question that's being asked on cable news, and I wish 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.639 that they would just stop beating around the bush and 0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:28.280 say the fucking truth. The country will not be harmed 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:35.080 if a former twice impeached criminal is fucking indicted. It 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:39.800 would give us hope that everything hasn't crumbled to the ground, 0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:43.880 that maybe, just maybe our democracy can hang on just 0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:50.080 a little bit longer because we are dusting off the 0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:54.840 fucking like the grinders and like going back to work 0:27:54.920 --> 0:28:00.920 to protect this country from another Donald Trump who was smarter, 0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.880 which is not that fucking hard to do, because you've 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:08.080 seen the battle, like I said earlier, that is going 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:13.399 on between depth Santis and Abbott. These are the people 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:17.320 that would be a part of a Republican open primary 0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:22.000 against Joe Biden, if God damn it he runs in 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:29.640 twenty twenty four. They're younger, they're smarter, they've actually been 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:33.960 career politicians, and they have the same sick ideology as 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:38.440 Donald Trump. So if you are not signaling to the 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:43.000 people that are coming behind Trump, that are literally riding 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:48.520 his wings, then you basically just said it's open season 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:52.600 for anybody. That's what you just said. And I don't 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:55.080 know if the Department of Justice has wrapped their fucking 0:28:55.160 --> 0:29:01.320 minds around this yet, but that's what they're doing. Lastly, folks, 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.680 I wrote a piece in The Daily Beast this week 0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:10.240 talking about Biden and the fact that it's not too 0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:15.480 late for Democrats to fight and to win midterm elections. 0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:19.280 That we don't just have to acquiesce and resign ourselves 0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.520 to losing, because that's what happens when the party in 0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:27.200
