1 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, peep sin. Welcome to bokay f Daily with 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: me your girl Danielle Moody back in my home bunker um, folks. 3 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: Let's start off with something that I never get to 4 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: start off with, which is some good news. As of 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: the time of this recording, Secretary Blinkin has announced that 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: there is a substantial deal that was placed on the 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: table to Russia in order to get back Britney Griner. Now, 8 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: for those of you who obviously have been paying attention, 9 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: Britney Griner has been in custody with Russian officials since 10 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: February on some bullshit trumped up drug charges because of 11 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: vile of cannabis oil that were found in her luggage, 12 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: which she says that she has a prescription for from 13 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: a doctor, but the country of Russia has a zero 14 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: tolerance on drugs. She has been on trial. We have 15 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: seen glimpses of her looking at least physically well, being 16 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: detained for this considerable amount of time. I am hopeful 17 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: because over the last couple of months we have seen 18 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: an uptick in attention and focus on her predicament. Right initially, 19 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: when this first happened back in February, it got very 20 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: little press. And part of that, at least from what 21 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I heard, was because the State Department officials work through 22 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: back channels, They work through avenues that are not dealt 23 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: with in the public eye. And it was said not 24 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: to bring, not to draw so much attention to her, 25 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: because then the Russians would want to do some other maneuvering. Well, 26 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: things have changed over the last several months. Her wife 27 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: has taken to calling the White House. She has been 28 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: on Good Morning America and other outlets pleading for the 29 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: safe return of Brittany Griner. So right now Britney has 30 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: basically pled guilty because by virtue of the Russian courts, 31 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: you are not seen to be innocent, and she has 32 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: testified on her own behalf to plead guilty and to 33 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: convince the judge that she should be released. Word is 34 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: that any exchange with regard to an exchange of prisoners, 35 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: which is what the State Department is working on, we 36 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: have no timeline for that. But folks are saying that 37 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: she needs to be convicted and then sentenced and then 38 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: we will see where we go from there. But folks, 39 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: one of the things that has troubled me, I think 40 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: the most about this case other than the fact that 41 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, the Russians do anything right. Everything is about 42 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: political gain. Everything is about a political strategy. It is 43 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: all bullshit maneuvering so that they can get out heinous, 44 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: horrible people from prison, so that they can get sanctions. 45 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: You dropped like everything is a fucking political game. But 46 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: what has really gotten me in particular about this case 47 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: is that Britney Griner should have never had to be 48 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: in Russia in the first place, and that is a 49 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: failing of the United States. Why do I say that, Well, 50 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: because the women who play basketball in the w NBA 51 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: do not even make half of what NBA players make 52 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: in this country, which requires them then to go ahead 53 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: and play abroad right in the American off season so 54 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: that they can continue to make money. Brittany Griner was 55 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: in Russia because she plays basketball for a living, and 56 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: we don't really particularly give a shit about women in 57 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: sports and how much they get paid. Look at what 58 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: has happened the lawsuit that the women's soccer team had 59 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: to bring against the Soccer Association for the inbound the 60 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: inequity in the pay between men and women in soccer. Right, 61 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: these are the same cases that we have heard brought 62 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: up with tennis players and the Tennis Association, namely with 63 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: the Williams sisters and what they have had to go 64 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: through in order to get again equal fucking pay. So 65 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: this is, you know, so many layers of this Britney 66 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: Griner trial. An issue is layered with how we treat 67 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: and value women in this country, plain and simple. If 68 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: Britney Grinder was making as much money as you know, 69 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: whatever other top NBA player who is in her same positioning, 70 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: do you think that she would have been in Russia. No, 71 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: she would be enjoying her off season as NBA players 72 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: enjoy their off season right, being able to provide for 73 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: their families amply right, and not have to travel around 74 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: the world in order to do that. And so, you know, 75 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: I bring that up because I think that it is 76 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: really important that we recognize, I mean, and we know this, right. 77 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: We know this by virtue of the reversal of Roe v. Wade. 78 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: We know this by virtue of the fact that in 79 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: this country we have yet to be able to pass 80 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: an equal Pay Act. Right, we know that white women 81 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: make probably seventy two cents. I think it was the 82 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: last time that I saw to the dollar of a 83 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: white man, and that the number is lessened as you 84 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: add on race, as you you know, for people black 85 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: women making less and being yet more qualified, right in 86 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: terms of the number of professional degrees, in terms of 87 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: certifications and all of these things. And so again, if 88 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: we were to actually take a strong look and give 89 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: a shit in this country about equity, then we would 90 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: have passed an Equal Pay Act a long long time ago, 91 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: because the days are gone of you know, heteronormativity and 92 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: the male going into the workforce in the job and 93 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: the boss saying, oh, your wife is pregnant, so here's 94 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: a raise for the family. Type of bullshit. I mean, 95 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: I know that that's what the Republicans want to drag 96 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: us back to, where women are needing to be reliant 97 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: on their spouses because they're trapped into pregnancy and parent 98 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: that they don't want to be in right, and that 99 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: forces this vicious cycle of women and people with uterus 100 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: is being forced out of the workforce, clearing the way 101 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: for white men clearly to be able to not only 102 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: rule the workforce, but also rule their nest and women 103 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: not have any outlet whatsoever. That's the goal of the 104 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Republican Party. It's to turn women back into a servile 105 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: positioning in our country, and you know how easy it 106 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: is being done right. So I think that it is 107 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: always important that when we look at these cases with 108 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: that are gaining national attention, that we look at the why, 109 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: that we ask ourselves the why about those things and 110 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: don't just assume them to be by face value, just 111 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: one thing about foreign affairs and the United States and 112 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: their geopolitical war that they like to play. Folks. We 113 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: are now also six months into the war in Ukraine, 114 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: which is just fucking crazy to even think about the 115 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: devastation that Russian aggression and war crimes have caused in 116 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: the country of Ukraine. This week, if you pay attention 117 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: to the likes of Vogue magazine, both Zelinsky and his 118 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: and his wife First Lady are on the cover, the 119 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: digital cover of Vogue magazine, and they are talking about 120 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: the horrors of war, what what this has done to 121 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: their own families, to their country, and you know, to themselves. 122 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: I said something the other day to a friend of 123 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: mine with regard to President Zelinsky, and I said, man, 124 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: if you look at photos from six months ago of Zelinsky, 125 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: and you look at photos now, it is evident that 126 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: the man has must have aged at least ten years 127 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: in six months. You know, I've been thinking a lot, 128 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: as Republicans continue to wage war against democracy and against 129 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: decency in this country, about whether or not those of 130 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: us who do believe in democracy are actually willing to 131 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: fight for it in the way that people are fighting 132 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: for it in Ukraine. Now, I'm not going to make 133 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: any comparisons to being in a maternity ward and the 134 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: hospital being blown up, or being in sitting in my 135 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: apartment and the apartment building being blown up, or any 136 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: of the things the heinous acts that we have seen 137 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: at the hands of Russians. But the question that we 138 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: should all really truly be asking ourselves is, if America 139 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: continues on this anti democrat slope that we are on, 140 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: what are each of us actually willing to do to 141 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: defend democracy? You know, I think about the people in Ukraine. 142 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: I think about people all over the world who are 143 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: forced into extraordinary situations because of power, greed, right violence 144 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: that plagues their countries. We have largely as a nation 145 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: been shielded from that right. Not since the Civil War 146 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: the Revolutionary War have we seen, outside of the bombing 147 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: of Pearl Harbor, fighting on our own soil. And what 148 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: has really gotten me in this realm of thinking, obviously 149 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: is because we pay attention every single day to the news. 150 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: But there was a recent article in the Washington Post 151 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: that there were interviews that were done of Republicans and 152 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, looking at candidates at the local, state and 153 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: national level that are running for office. And in this article, folks, 154 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: these people are not holding back. They are saying that 155 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: they are prepared for a civil war. They are ready 156 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: for a civil war, and that a majority of Americans 157 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: outside of the Republican Party believe that this will come 158 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. Namely, there have eyes 159 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: on twenty twenty four. If Republicans take back the House 160 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: and the Senate in the fall, they are going to 161 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: do some really egregious, underhanded ship. We already know that 162 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: because they've told us. If a Republican, whether it be 163 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Ron de Santis or Mike Pence, become President 164 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: of the United States in twenty twenty four, you can 165 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: kiss every single right. You can kiss the Constitution goodbye altogether. 166 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: In these polls that have been done with Republicans, many 167 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: of them have said that, you know, forty percent of 168 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: the population hell, I'll give up on democracy so long 169 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: as we have a strongman at the helm of this country. 170 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: Not only were we registered last year as a backsliding 171 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: democracy for the first time in the history of the 172 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: United States, people are talking about a civil war. People 173 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: are talking about wanting a strongman instead of democracy. These 174 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: are regular conversations that are happening, right and not just 175 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: with the politically astute or those that pay attention. It's 176 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: happening with everybody around everybody's kitchen table. So I think 177 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: about the images coming out of Ukraine, and I think 178 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: about the trauma that has been inflicted on these people 179 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: who have done nothing other than trying to live their 180 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: lives right as best they could in a country that 181 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: they were born in, in the country that they love, 182 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: only to have everything that they've ever known upended, to 183 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: lose loved ones, to lose their homes, to lose their 184 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: futures right, pick up with whatever it is that they have, 185 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: and literally cross borders into other nations with nothing but 186 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: what they have on their backs to start over. And 187 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,359 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, while I was really aggravated 188 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: by the way that the Ukrainian people have been presented 189 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: in the news, as if like we should all have 190 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: empathy for these people. But we don't have empathy for 191 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: people in Afghanistan. We don't have empathy for people in Syria. 192 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: We don't have empathy for people in Iran, right, we 193 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: don't have empathy for people in the Congo. We don't 194 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: have empathy for people who are not black, who are 195 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: not white with blue eyes and blonde hair, And that 196 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: is by virtue of white supremacy. And who runs the news, 197 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: who runs everything right? White people in power.

I don't 221 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: even know if they have seesaws anymore, but playing on 222 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: a seesaw and you know, the other person would get 223 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: up and you would be slapped down to to the ground. 224 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: That's how I feel about this country right now, Like 225 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: we're trying to both stay even and in the air 226 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: with our emotional well being, with our understanding of democracy. 227 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: We're just up and we're down. We're up and we're down, 228 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: and I'm just waiting for the moment where the Republican 229 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Party completely gets off of the seesaw and they're just like, 230 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: fuck it, We're drawing our guns and we're done. Because 231 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: I feel like this is imminent, right, when you have 232 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: Republicans that are running for office and they're doing so 233 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: holding their ar fifteens, when they are talking about the 234 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: use of violence against political opponents, when they are and 235 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: rising in the polls doing it, right, when they are 236 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: continuing to spread lies. When you could say that, oh, yes, 237 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: I was at the insurrection and run for governor like 238 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Doug Mastriana was doing in Pennsylvania, and that be okay, 239 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: you not be in jail, right because you would think, oh, no, 240 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: this man is going to be charged with a federal 241 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: crime and he would never be able to run for office. 242 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: But not in these United States, right, not nowadays. But 243 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: you think about the fact that these people are literally 244 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: getting everything that they have ever wanted. Their wish list 245 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: right for America is literally being checked off one box 246 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: at a time. And yet when you listen to Donald Trump, 247 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: which by the way, I did not listen to the 248 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: whole speech is bullshit speech. I was only listening to 249 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: pieces of it because I can't stomach that bullshit. Donald 250 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: Trump talking about America has got to be one of 251 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: the most scary things that I've ever heard. Donald Trump 252 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: sees nothing good in this country even when Republicans are winning. 253 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: It's not even about them touting the reversal of Roe v. 254 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Wade or touting all of the gun legislation that is 255 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: across this country now, where you can just get a 256 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: gun as easy as you can, you pick up a 257 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: thing at ictas, where you can, you know, deny curriculum 258 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: and burn books and don't say gay, and all of 259 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: these things that they have won. You would think that 260 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump would then stand before his legions of sycophants 261 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: and tick down all of those wins. But no, Donald 262 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: Trump stands before the American public and says that the 263 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: streets are filled with bodies and guns and you know, 264 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: and oh not guns because he would love that with drugs, 265 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: and that we should execute drug dealers, and that there's 266 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: just mayhem and carnage and terror everywhere. And I'm like, 267 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: America is pretty much a shit show. It's a shit 268 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: show because of all of the things that Republicans and 269 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: the likes of Joe Mansion and Krsten Cinema have continued 270 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: to allow to happen in this country right to make 271 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: this country unsafe. But the idea that we're all walking 272 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: out of our front doors into type to Donald Trump's 273 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: healthscape is like is laughable. Right, And so I'm like, 274 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: even when they are winning, they still run on fear, 275 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: which means to me that they're never going to be satisfied. Right, 276 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: They're never going to be satisfied until every right is gone, 277 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: until every person is living in fear, until the hope 278 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: and the will of America is taken from everyone's eyes 279 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: and souls, until it's just drained from all of us. 280 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: Because they don't even celebrate their victories. They just continue 281 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: to cry foul and play victim, right, Like Donald Trump 282 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: is talking about all of the carnage and the mayhem 283 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: in the street and then saying, and they don't want 284 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: me to lead you bitch, where did you lead us? 285 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: You almost led us into multiple Twitter fucking like real 286 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 1: world wars with I ran and with North Korea. You 287 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: know you're being The government is being sued by several 288 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: families who were separated at the border under your bullshit policies, right, 289 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: and they will most likely win because what the Trump 290 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: administration did to undocumented people and their children was so 291 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: fucking heinous and disgusting. But I'm like, how do you 292 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: counter this horrible vision and dream of America that Donald 293 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: Trump and Republicans have. You have to give something to 294 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: the people to have hope in And this is a 295 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: thing that I understand, you know now more than ever 296 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: about Democrats in the Democratic Party. While I say that 297 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: a healthy dose of fhere is good, Do you want 298 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: Trump's America or do you want the Biden version of 299 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: America that we're all fighting for?

But what does it mean to no longer 337 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: have a home base? Right? What does it mean to 338 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: be a stranger in every land that you traverse because 339 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: the one that you were born in is no longer recognizable. 340 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: These are the things that kind of keep me up 341 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: at night on a regular basis, wondering and worrying about 342 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: what the future is going to look like here. And 343 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't want the future of America to look like 344 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: Ukraine with millions of us, you know, either heading south 345 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: for Mexico or north for Canada, right and figuring out 346 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: how to start over. But that's the America that Republicans want. 347 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: They want to drive everybody that looks like me, praise 348 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: different looks, different loves, different out of this country. You know, 349 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: just the other day, what was making the news, Doug 350 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: Mastriano's like campaign lead talking about the fact that America 351 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: is a Christian nation, a white Christian nation. Marjorie Taylor 352 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: Green found herself saying that she's a nationalist and she's 353 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: a Christian and she's a Christian nationalist and there's nothing 354 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: wrong with that. Rachel Maddow, because of her comments, did 355 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: a major, a major deep dive into Christian nationalism and 356 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: what that looked like in the United States. This push 357 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: for it, it is Nazism, It is the KKK, it 358 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: is burning crosses. This man was on national television talking about, Oh, 359 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: we won't expel the Jews, but they'll need to, you know, 360 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: they'll have the benefits of living in a Christian nation. 361 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: The fuck. I don't know what constitution they're all reading, 362 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure or that America was founded right 363 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: air quotes on religious freedom right. They were fleeing persecution. 364 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: So the very idea that then the descendants of those 365 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: who came here would turn around and say that no 366 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: one else has the ability to practice their own faith, 367 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: because their belief is that America should have one faith 368 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: that we all abide by and one rule of law, 369 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: which is that white supremacy runs all things and is 370 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: all things. You have the Lauren Boberts and the Marjorie 371 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: Tailor Greens that are sitting in Congress talking about there 372 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: should be no separation between church and state, you have 373 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court that is just eroded further this separation 374 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: between church and state. And so again, when I say 375 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: to you, what are you willing to fight for if 376 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: in fact it comes to pass, which again the polls 377 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: are saying it is more likely than not to come 378 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: to pass. What are you willing to stand up and 379 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: fight for? These are the questions that we need to 380 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: be asking each other around our kitchen table, because it 381 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: isn't just going to be enough to tweet about it. 382 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: It isn't going to just be enough to vote. I 383 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: think that this is going to come down to actual 384 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: fucking hand to hand combat. I think that it is 385 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: going to come down to a whole lot of things 386 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: because I don't believe that this version of the white 387 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: nationalist of Republican Party is going away. Right, we had 388 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: an opportunity to cut off the head of the snake 389 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump twice with two impeachment trials, and Republicans said, nah, 390 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: this is our guy. Right, you have Matt Gates, that 391 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: fucking pedophile piece of shit, disparaging women, but making it 392 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: clear that no Republican is going to vote for Mike 393 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Pence because Donald Trump is their guy. I'm sure he 394 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: wants Donald Trump back in office so that he can 395 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: get pardoned for his sex trafficking charges. I just want 396 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Democrats right now to do a better job of laying 397 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: out to the American people that the version of America 398 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: that Republicans have isn't just one that is about white supremacy. 399 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: It is also one that is about vigilante violence, right 400 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: political violence, where it is going to be the norm 401 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: that you're going to have people's lives threatened, the lives 402 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: of their families threatened, because you decide to run for office. 403 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: But this is what they want, because then it will 404 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: keep away good people, right, people who want to do 405 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: good by this country, and it'll make way for the crazy, 406 00:27:52,720 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: fucking zealots. Let me turn to climate change. The pictures 407 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: that have come out of Saint Louis more rain in 408 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: five hours than they've gotten in like a month. The 409 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: brush fire that sparked an entire neighborhood to be burned 410 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: down in Texas. The triple digit heat that we have 411 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: been living in across a majority of this country and 412 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 1: around the world. Folks, Joe Mansion voted against any climate legislation. 413 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: One man who is taking millions of dollars each and 414 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: every year from the dirty coal industry is the one 415 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: that is deciding whether or not you get to breathe 416 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: clean air, whether or not you have the ability to 417 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: fight back against raging fire seasons, whether or not you 418 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: are going to be able to air condition your way 419 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: out of climate change, which none of us are going 420 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: to be able to do. We have got to figure 421 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: out how to fight these people who don't give a fuck. 422 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: You know, I tweeted the other day, I said, you know, 423 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: it is insane to me. That is people that are 424 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: in their seventies and their eighties that are making decisions 425 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: about inaction around climate change that they're not even going 426 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: to be around in another twenty years to deal with 427 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: the continued fallout from the decisions that they're making now 428 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: that are solely based in greed. And so if we're 429 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: not calling these people out and letting the public know 430 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: exactly why right, we are going to be living under 431 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: so many different kinds of threats, the threats of voter suppression, 432 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: the threats of having more rights taking away, the threats 433 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: of climate change. We're just living under threat because of 434 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: people like Joe Manchin and Kursten cinema. Right. The Republicans 435 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: have already told us who they are. They've consistent they 436 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: been who they have been. But it is Democrats who 437 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: pretend to say that we're not like the other guy. 438 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: We can give you all of the things that you want, 439 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: and then they fall short because they have people who 440 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: are really Republicans in sheep's clothing. So I'm hoping over 441 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: the next couple of months that we are going to 442 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: see the largest number of Generation Z vote in mid 443 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: term elections who are in their early twenties right, who 444 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: are over the age of eighteen, just entering into the 445 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: workforce or entering into school, and saying, these people need 446 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: to get the fuck up out of the way, because 447 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: that's who we need to be invigorating right now. And 448 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: I hope that we are by virtue of the administration 449 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: signaling the fact that they are telling student loan debtors 450 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: to back up right that they are going to be 451 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: extending or maybe finally canceling student loan debt, and this 452 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: will engage a whole host of people, over forty million 453 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: of the population that is dealing with crippling debt. But 454 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: I know that we need to do something to activate 455 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: the American people, and it isn't just going to be 456 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: fear right, but we have to provide some type of 457 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: hope because if you don't have hope of a brighter day, 458 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: then why would you wake up? That is it for me, 459 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: dear friends on Woke f today, as always, Power to 460 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: the people and to all the people. Power, get woke 461 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: and stay woke as fuck.
