WEBVTT - Make It Woke 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:14.800 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woka F Daily with 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.520 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording live from our podstream 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.119 studios here in Times Square. Folks, I'm very excited about 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:26.040 today's episode of wig F because I decided, along with 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.560 my other DCP host and colleague, Mark Thompson, that we 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.159 would start doing monthly crossovers of his show, Make It 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.680 Plain and Woke. F. Now, if folks remember us back 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.199 from serious days on Sirius XM, then you know that 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.279 Mark show was a staple there and I used to 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.839 fill in for him. So the opportunity to get to 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.240 sit down once a month to kind of hash out 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.480 where the Democratic where the Democratic Party is going as 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:59.760 we make the long, long, long fucking March two what 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:05.480 midterm twenty twenty two. So in today's conversation we unpack 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.600 what happened in Virginia as well as why the mainstream 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.959 media thinks that it's okay to continually use black voters 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.200 as a scapegoat when we all recognize who the culprit 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.080 is constantly in our political landscape and guess who it is? 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.480 White women, the people that they never want to talk 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.959 about but instead of want to do fucking docu series 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.520 of empathy on for us to really understand how Karen 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.119 and Jill and jan are feeling as opposed to what 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.000 it is that they're doing to fuck our country over 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.280 so that they can continue with their proximity to patriarchy 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:45.840 and whiteness. The reality, folks, is that there is no 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.960 one to blame for what happened in Virginia and what 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.760 will potentially be foreshadowing for what could happen in midterms 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.720 other than Democrats. Here's the thing, and I will say 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.000 this until I am blue in the goddamn face. Democrats 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.640 don't have a long game. They do not see strategy 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.840 outside of two and four year elections. They're not even 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.919 creating strategic plans for down ballot candidates. Right. So, when 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.959 we are looking at this CONTI made up bullshit controversy. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.640 The next the right's new red scare and their new 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.079 boogeyman right of critical race theory, which by the way, 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.080 is only taught at the graduate level and is not 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.520 taught in K through twelve elementary and high schools. But nonetheless, 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.400 let's not let logic enter into the chat. The fact 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:44.919 is that until Democrats recognize that white people right, are 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.360 no longer the base of their party. That cow tolling 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.320 to the white working class is not exactly how you're 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:59.360 going to advance and instead, excuse me, instead creating policies 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.800 right and working on policies that everybody else wants. And 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.360 those are the policies that guess what the Progressive Caucus, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.480 which is the largest caucus right now in Congress, is 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:17.320 pushing for. We're pushing for an expansion of healthcare, not 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.880 just barely holding on to what it is that we have. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.880 We're pushing for an expansion of voting rights, not just 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.640 barely holding on to what we were able to secure 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.120 in the nineteen sixties. We want an expansion of abortion care, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.360 not just barely holding onto Roe v. Wade. And I 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:39.000 find that with the Democrats, the reality is that all 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.800 they ever do is just hold on. Nothing is about expansion. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.480 And as a matter of fact, that son of a 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:50.840 bitch Joe Mansion this week once again says some hot 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.680 trash with regard to well, I respect the President of 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.360 the United States, but the United States is not a 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.240 progressive country. It's not a center it's left country. Well, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.760 fuck you, Joe Mansion, because actually, if you were to 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.040 pay attention to the numbers outside of your downtrod in 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.960 West Virginia where a majority of the people are living 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.320 in fucking poverty, right while you're living high on the 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.200 hog on your seven hundred thousand dollars yacht, that maybe 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.479 you would understand that majority of people want to be 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.560 able to put food on their table, want to be 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.320 able to get their medicine, and do all of those 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.320 things at the same goddamn time, and not pay play 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.719 three card monte with their lives. Right. That that isn't 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.040 a leftist sensibility. It is an American value that no 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.679 one should ever be working forty hours a goddamn week 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:48.320 and not be able to have the bare minimum met meeting, food, shelter, clothing. Right. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.880 One of the things that I think we forget because 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.520 once again in America it seems that our memory is 0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:00.320 that of a fucking gnat, is that during twenty tw twenty, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:08.240 the lines at food banks, folks were miles long. Places 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:13.640 that we're giving out food for free, churches, food pantries, right, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:20.360 different community organizations were running out of food right an hour, 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.640 two hours after they were opening. What does that show 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.120 you when we look at the gas prices that are 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.080 right now through the roof in every state across this country. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.599 I was in California last week, and I will tell 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.120 you this first of all, every time that I go 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.800 to California, I'm always like, I don't know how fucking 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.880 people live here because one, yes, the weather is gorgeous. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.720 You know, they don't have any seasons, and it never rains, right, which, 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.839 frankly I like rain. Maybe that's the scorpio in me, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.760 but like I like it. I think it's refreshing. But nonetheless, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.880 the traffic, the traffic in LA is like nothing I've 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.240 ever seen. And I'm from I lived in Washington, DC. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.960 I lived in the DMV where they I thought that 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.080 they invented traffic because they can't drive in any type 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:15.320 of fucking weather. Right, So if the gas prices in 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.680 LA are at over five dollars a gallon, which I 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.320 cannot believe, and then you were driving right and sitting 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:29.600 in traffic up to two hours to go roughly you know, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.880 twenty miles, do you know how much gas your car 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.640 is requiring and how much money you are spending every 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.080 single week. So just to think about that and the 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:47.080 fact that people are barely making making ends meet. I 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:53.479 don't understand how we are still having conversations about progressivism 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:59.360 versus moderism, versus moderation, like we are in crisis in 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:04.440 this country, and being moderate is basically about, you know, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.200 being complacent, shutting your eyes to the reality that is 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.040 in front of you, which to me, is what Joe 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.960 Mansion is doing. He doesn't care. He's a two bit 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.040 ho that is bought and sold by either coal or 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.840 big Pharma, right, like those are the ones that are 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.960 riding his tickets. So he could give a fuck clearly 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.320 about the people of West Virginia. And you will hear 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.160 in my conversation with Mark one of the things that 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:33.280 he offers up that would help to I guess, cut 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.400 Joe's knees off, right, cut him off at the knees, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.360 so that he is not able to use the people 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.800 of West Virginia as his bargaining chip. If you just 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:48.200 include them in legislation and then heavily campaign that you're 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.960 going to get everything that you need and Joe Mansion 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.640 still doesn't come to the table, then he's showing his 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:59.320 whole ass, right, Then he's showing his whole entire ass. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.360 And we know where he is. So the other thing, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.640 unfortunately that I wasn't able to get to in my 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.000 conversation with Mark, and so I want to switch gears 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.520 and talk to you all about now. There are multitude 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.240 of cases that we are paying attention to and have 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.760 been talking about on woke a f. We know that 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.920 oral arguments started in the Texas Ban case that we 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.600 talked about earlier in the week, and the feeling, the 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:35.280 sentiment at least from my legal colleagues is that the portion, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:40.360 the portion of the Texas Ban which is about the 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:45.040 bounty right, is about essentially deputizing everyone in Texas and 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.640 everyone in the United States for that matter, to be 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.720 able to bring up charges right and collect up to 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.000 ten thousand dollars or past go like we're all living 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:59.319 in black Merri monopoly. Is that what the justices at 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.760 least have signaled thus far, Gorsitch as being one of 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.000 them and one of the conservatives and one of Trumpers, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.920 is that if you're allowed to create this kind of 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.439 bounty with abortion, then what is to stop you from 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.600 being able to do this with any other issue? Right? 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.680 And then we are creating this chaotic, wild wild West 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:28.360 in our adjudication, right and so that in and of itself, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.920 the fact that Gorsitch even mentioned this signals to me 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.440 that even the most staunch advocate that our anti abortion 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.200 are looking at the Texas law, which was written in 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:47.000 such a malicious way that that will be part and 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:51.560 parceled and thrown out, God willing. The other thing, though, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.720 that we are that we are watching, and what will 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.000 come up next month is the Mississippi band, which I 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.760 believe that they will most likely uphold, which is the 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:05.520 teen week abortion ban, which would bring again Roe v. Wade, 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.160 making it more and more toothless. Right now, you're not 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:14.240 allowed to seek an abortion after twenty four weeks. The 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:20.080 Mississippi ban is looking at fifteen weeks. I believe that 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.880 they are going to uphold the Mississippi ban, and then 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.840 that is going to be the law of the land. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.040 And then what white evangelical Christians will see is that 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.719 they can continue to chip away, chip away, because they 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.080 have friends on the Court that will then decide that 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.000 eventually Roe v. Wade will just be null and void. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.920 It'll still exist, It'll just get to a point where 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.480 it's just like, doesn't even matter that we have this. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.320 If women and people with uteruses are being forced to 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.280 have to make these decisions before they even have as 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:56.120 menstrual cycle. So there's that the other two cases right 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.040 now that are and there are a couple of other 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.880 cases one that I will say another insurrectionist was sentenced 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.440 to prison, which is great, but again I believe that 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.160 these people should have the books thrown at them. I 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.560 saw on Twitter that somebody I believe it's Michael Harriet, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.600 one of the senior writers at the Root dot com 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.600 and he's been on wok F tweeted that there are 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.480 fifty people right now across the country that are serving 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.120 life sentences for marijuana, while white people are making billions 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.880 of dollars. If you can provide a life sentence for marijuana, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.959 you can provide a life sentence for trying to overthrow 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.920 the government. And so those are the feelings that I 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.880 have with regard to how our criminal justice system is 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:47.199 completely unbalanced and purposefully. So. The other case that is 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:52.280 starting is the Written House, the Kyle Rittenhouse case, where 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.360 we have learned that Kyle Rittenhouse will most likely take 0:11:55.400 --> 0:12:00.680 the stand. One of the people who survived his brazen 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:07.040 shootout spoke about and we saw a video of different 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.400 vantage points of Kyle Rittenhouse going on the hunt for 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.840 trouble and on the hunt for people. And I hope 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.000 that those videos and the words of the victim that 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.600 did survive, and the SI will use the word victim, 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.920 Judge Schrober, you can go fuck yourself. Is that it 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.440 resonates that we do not want to live in a society. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.120 And frankly, this is what the prosecution should ask the jury. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.240 What kind of world do you want to live in? 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.080 Do you want to live in a society when anyone 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.520 anywhere can sling an AAR fifteen over their shoulder and 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.320 decide that they're going to go take the law into 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.840 their own hands and just shoot people up and then 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.760 are able to walk. Because if Kyle Rittenhouse is not 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.520 prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and does 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.040 not receive a guilty verdict and the maximum sentencing, then 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.560 what you are setting up is that very scenario, Well, 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.920 we will see angry, grieved white males grab guns and 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.520 go out and solve their own problems or do what 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.040 they've always wanted to do, which is hunt people of color. Right, 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.400 which brings me to the other case that we are 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.720 going to have eyes on on Woke a f which 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:19.400 is the case that involved the murder of Ahmad Aubrey. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:24.120 The judge has already said that there is discrimination in 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.640 terms of how the jury was selected in that case, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.480 with there being only one black juror that is going 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.120 to be sitting in hearing this case of a group 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.000 of white men that decided that they, once again, we're 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.520 going to go on the hunt for a black person 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.440 and then murder him in cold blood and think that 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.960 that was going to be acceptable and without public outcry, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.240 once again, we would have never heard of a mod Aubrey, right, 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.680 because the buddies on the police force were friends with 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.440 the murderers, right, and without the outrage from the public, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.360 would have gotten away with it as they do across 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:07.120 these small white towns every fucking where. Right. So we 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.800 will see how this case unfolds with a jury of 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.840 eleven white people and one black person and see whether 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.120 or not a Mard Aubrey's family will receive justice. So 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.920 coming up next, friends, is my conversation with my friend, 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.280 colleague and activists Reverend Mark Thompson, host of Make It Plain. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.600 Let me know what you think about this conversation and 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.560 frankly We're looking for a name for our crossover episode. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.880 So if you have an idea of how we can 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.840 match together Make It Plain and Woke as Fuck, do 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:46.040 drop it in the comments section, Folks. I am so 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.520 excited to do a special that we have decided to 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.600 do a crossover episode of Mark Thompson's Make It Plain 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.840 and Woke as Fuck. So Mark and I have decided 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.560 that as a countdown to the midterm elections, we are 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:07.440 going to be gathering monthly and raging together about whether 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.360 or not Democrats are going to be able to pull 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.040 out a win and whether or not black people will 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.400 continue to be blamed by their dysfunction. Mark, I am 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.440 so happy to be back in studio with you. Um 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:26.600 this week we got a take you say, crossover, What 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.760 do you mean exactly? Crossover of our two shows. Yeah, okay, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.400 here you want to make sure. So this week we 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.520 had a sample of what the midterm elections could potentially 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.160 look like. We did not get election results, as we 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.280 will no longer ever get the day of an election. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.960 We got results that in New Jersey the Democrat was 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.840 able to screech by and for the first time in 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.640 four decades New Jersey, folks, decided to re elect a Democrat, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.120 but in Virginia. Virginia has been the story of the week, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:07.400 whereas Terry mcculloff, who was trying to go for another 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:13.480 stab at being governor, was defeated by newcomer businessman and 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.600 Trump light or, as some have said, the delta variant 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.960 of Trump, Glenn Yuncan, was able to snatch the governorship 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.360 and essentially roll Virginia back into the nineteen fifties. Currently, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.000 black voters, once again by mainstream media and white pundents, 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:37.440 are being blamed for Terry mcculloff's lackluster campaign. What are 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.080 your thoughts on what happened in Virginia. Well, first of all, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.440 it is fun to be with you, Daniel, looking forward 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:49.360 to this. I think that first of all, Democrats, we've 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.360 been fortunate in Virginia past few elections cycles because Virginia usually, 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.760 like traditional midterms, goes back and forth. And the fact 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.000 that it's stayed blue since Obama's first election, I mean 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.880 that was a blessing that should not have been taken 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.600 for granted. I think there were several issues in Virginia, 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.840 first of all, that being one of those issues being 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.879 Terry mcculiffe he was not the ideal candidate. He is 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:16.000 a political operative, he always has been. He is not 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:23.520 a charismatic, hope inspiring, social justice changing type politician. He's 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.320 not going to inspire anybody of the polls. In fact, 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.600 when he won the first time, it's pretty much what 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:32.040 he was seeing as Also, people talk about culture wars, 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.360 but let's talk about the culture of Virginia. You can 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.920 only serve one term as governor. You can't succeed yourself, 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:42.199 and so in four years, most Virginia governors are not 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.199 that memorable. There's only so much you can do it 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:45.679 for you. So it's not like somebody who has come 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.560 to Virginia be the governor and is all of a 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.439 sudden Lyndon Johnson. And I mean, who can name the 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.320 greatest Virginia governor? No one. The only one that most 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.879 people can name historically is L. Douglas Wilder, because he 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.520 was the first African American one to make a decision 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.960 for the Democratic Party to make a decision to resurrect 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.000 a one term governor when you really can't point of 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.960 anything he did. The nature of Virginia is to get 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.080 a new person every four years. The Democrats should have 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.600 followed that culture and gotten someone new for this four years. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.720 This is never has only happened one other time in 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:28.240 history where a previous governor comes back later on to 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.000 win again. That was sometime ago. Nobody remembers what he did, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.720 so that was a mistake, and let's be honest about it. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.040 Why did that happen? And I think this may not 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.800 only be for telling for the midterms, but for the 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:47.560 presidential election. Vice president's lieutenant governors are usually groomed or 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.000 given a runway to be a successor. That would have 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:57.240 been justin Fairfax now, not to litigate the charges against him. 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.160 In this era of me too, there were charges brought 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:08.000 up against Tim on the eve of Ralph Northam's presume 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:13.560 presumptive resignation because of black face. And let's just be honest. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.160 We can support women, but we also have to state 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.439 objective facts. Those allegations came up at that moment, and 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.800 at that moment only didn't come up a week before 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.119 or a week later, when Ralph Northam was pressured to resign, 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.440 those allegations came up. So we just put that out there, 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:34.679 that being the case that nullified Ralph Northam's resignation. It 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.000 nullified Justin Fairfax being able to assume the governorship, and 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.880 just even with those allegations being there and never really 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:47.920 being resolved or litigated, it probably nullified Justin Fairfax's hopes 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:52.280 of ever being governor. That's just a factum. So where 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.080 there was there no one else. I don't believe that 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.280 there were other black women who ran, and I'm not 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.919 sure about the numbers. I'm looked at them. I think 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.119 there were two black women and just Fairfax. And what 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:02.720 do we do? We split the vote. It's like we did, 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:07.119 and you didn't bring up Boston. Now the progressive A 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.200 woman of color who won in Boston is progressive. She's good. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.000 But there were four black people on the ballot. All 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:17.720 of their votes combined in Boston were greater than her votes, 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:19.560 the votes for her. So that's what we do. We 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:23.760 split up. And people should have been more intelligent about 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.800 that in Virginia. But there were even black establishment Virginia 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.600 politicians like um LeVar Stoney. I think he's the mayor 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:39.800 of Richmond who had a an acquaintance with Justin Fairfax's accuser, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.399 and conspicuusly she comes forward. He's at this pushing for 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.000 Terry McCullough, But what are you doing? I mean, even 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:48.760 as a young black man, why wouldn't you push for 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.400 someone else that could have won this? And again, it's 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.160 not a personal attack on Terry. If somebody said marku 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.040 Shrman for governor of Virginia, I shouldn't. It's not personal. 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.160 That don't mean I'm a bad person or people should 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.720 like me. That's just not what is appropriate at this time. 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.440 I don't live in Virginia, I don't have Somebody who 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.240 was indigenous to Virginia politics should have run for office 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.159 in that state, and that's where it was. So that's 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.520 the first mistake in terms of blaming black voters. Of 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.360 course it's going to happen. But I'm gonna be real 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.200 with y'all, and this is where folk might get a 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.479 little uncomfortable. But the real culprit in this as always 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:26.480 as white women. I mean, that's white women are responsible 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.560 for Trump. In twenty sixteen, ye white women were almost 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.640 responsible for Roy and Moore in Alabama. White women, Um so, 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:38.040 I'm so. And our friend Ellie Mistol even tweeted, you mean, 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.960 do you mean to say the day after their oral 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.480 arguments to get rid of Row which is suppose see this, 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.320 this is something that's scary. Row could actually save Democrats 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:50.840 in the mid terms. And Row goes down, you would 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:55.240 think more women of all colors would come out in droves. 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.399 But what did Virginia women do. Oh no, no no, no, 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.639 we don't care about that because we're more worried about 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.240 critical race theory. Be more specific than that. Not just 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:10.280 critical race theory, Danielle, but a black woman author. Come on, 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.719 Come on, so what what is what is going on? 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.160 And you know it's it's it's just like twenty sixteen 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.960 white women elected Trump and then all of them were 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.800 out with us at the Women's March on a day 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.800 after innauguration? Is everybody back Poland how do you do that? 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:29.199 How do you vote for him and then show up 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.840 at the Women's march? That means you know something is wrong, 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.400 something in therapy is not everybody's in therapy. Well, something 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.840 may work in therapy. Mark my words, voted for Junkin. 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.320 He's gonna do something crazy. It's gonna offend those women. 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:42.840 Oh we shouldn't done it, But why did you do 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.400 it in first place? Because I have said this over 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.679 and over again, is that white women get their power 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.240 from their proximity to white men, and that has that 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:58.159 has been the case since slavery and beyond right is 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:02.520 that so long as they is a white patriarchal figure 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.640 in their life, that is where they will assume their 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:09.800 power from. And you know, it's funny because was jahat 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.280 Ali who I have to who I have to pull 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.879 up because his peace in the Daily Beast that I 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.159 read a part of it. I read a part of 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:22.359 it yesterday on woke af because I said, you know, 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:27.760 here's the thing. Everybody consistently, consistently wants to call out 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.240 black voters, wants to come for us and say, well, 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:37.360 we're the reason why you're not going to get someone elected. Meanwhile, 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.360 we're the reason. We're the ones that are always showing 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.160 up for you. We're the reason why Biden is president 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.639 right now. And so what troubles me about white women 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:52.640 in general is the fact that you know, he says 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:56.840 in in wash his Peace, he says something like, you know, 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:01.879 white women are never going to vote in favor of you. 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.240 He's like he's he's like, here's the thing, and this 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.560 is what and this is what this is what he 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:09.640 wrote that I have to that I want. I'm trying 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.879 to pull up. We will see if I can. But 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:16.719 he basically said, if you wouldn't get your economic stability, 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.680 you get your housing stability, you get all of those 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.879 things from your proximity to white males. Why would you 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:26.640 then decide to disrupt that? How does that work for you? Right? 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.520 And so the reality is is that they do live 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:34.160 in this very unbalanced and instable place because at one 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.960 time they want to say, oh, well I am woman, 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.760 hear me, roar. But then when you have an opportunity 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.399 to step out on your own, they always always prove 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:47.080 where their allegiance lies. And I saw when in twenty sixteen, 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.800 I think I was the most shock that I had 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.840 ever been because I said, one of your own is 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:56.080 on the ballot. This woman, this white woman, is going 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.960 to break the glass ceiling that you all in the 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:02.200 first wave of feminis some second wave feminism have been 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.919 talking about four fucking decades. And so here she is 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.679 and they turned on her. Yeah, and with a quickness 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:13.120 for a man that literally had said that he could 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:17.560 grab a woman anywhere he wants because he's a star 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:20.760
