00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: My list is long, but it is.

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: Probably going to revolve around the same theme of anti

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: LGBTQ policy, sentiments actions that are taking place as we

21
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: get ready to lead into Pride Month. And for those

22
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: of you who are new to wok F. Pride is

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: a big deal on WOKF where we try and talk

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: to influencers, academics, organizers, activists, personalities, etc. In the LGBTQ

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: plus community to bring you up to speed with what

26
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: is at stake, what is happening, and also how we

27
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: can remain joyful during this time. So that will be

28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: coming up the whole month of June, and I'm super

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: excited about it. But before we get there, let's get

30
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: to fucking Friday. So first up on my list, God

31
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: damn it, fucking Target. You know, you, like Disney, have

32
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: been most adults happiest place on Earth, and you just

33
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: couldn't muster the fucking strength that Mickey Mouse has been

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: able to muster against Ronda Santis and instead you have caved.

35
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: You have fallen like a fucking deck of cards. So

36
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: let me bring you all up to speed as to

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: where we are with Target. So once again, fucking right

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: wing bullshit Christians, white evangelical Christians have decided that they

39
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: can't avert their eyes. God forbid, God forbid, these people

40
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: live inside of a world where not just them exist.

41
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: God forbid. You walk into a fucking store or a

42
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: library or a fucking bookstore and see something that makes

43
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable and just look the other way. God fucking forbid. So,

44
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: for those of you who have ever shopped at Target

45
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: during the month of June, you know that Target had

46
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: created a bunch of apparel around Pride. I mean the

47
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: whole store basically look like Rainbow Bright threw up in there, right,

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: that's the extent to which they had rainbowed out their

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Pride collection during the month of June. Well, as it

50
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: turns out, you know, rainbows apparently are offensive. So is

51
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: saying the word pride is offensive. So is existing inside

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: of a gay body or queer body or a trans

53
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: body is just offensive. To these fucking people that can't

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: just manage to avert their fucking eyes, right, that can't

55
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: just manage to go about their fucking day, They got

56
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: to control everyone and everything around them. And so they've

57
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: decided not to just go into targets and throw around

58
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: pride gear and knock over displays, but they've decided to

59
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: also call in with threats of violence against those store

60
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: employees because of these Pride displays during the month of June.

61
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: Now you would think to yourself, so haven't We always

62
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: been taught that you don't negotiate with terrorists, that once

63
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: you show them any sign of weakness, that they're gonna

64
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: take that and fucking run with it. Yeah, you have,

65
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: which is why you have seen the opposite happen down

66
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: in Florida with Disney and Ronda Santis's attacks on Disney. Right,

67
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you've seen them now lob lawsuits against Ronda Santis for

68
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: his attacks on private industry. So I wish, I wish

69
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: all people, all corporations, could show up in the way

70
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: that Disney has been showing up every single day to

71
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: battle that small, narrow, disc despicable human being known as

72
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: Ronda Santis. But instead Target has decided that for the safety,

73
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: as they say, the quote unquote safety of their employees,

74
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: they're not going to add more security. They're not going

75
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: to quote unquote stand their ground and their allyship for

76
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. No, instead, they're going to remove their

77
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: pride apparel displays as a way to show extremists and

78
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the right wing that they too can be bullied and

79
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: pushed around and that they will cave. Folks, When I

80
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: tell you what you can hear in my voice the

81
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: rage that bubbled up inside of me as I was

82
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: reading this story, as I was recognizing that.

83
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: The right is winning. Right.

84
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: And you may say, Danielle, like, how could you not

85
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: have realized that the right is winning? No, Because you know,

86
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at what is happening in Florida and

87
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: what's happening in Texas and Tennessee and Alabama and Mississippi

88
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: and all of the in South Carolina and North Carolina

89
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: and all of these places, I'm like, Okay, they're going

90
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: to keep pushing these constituents to the point where they're

91
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: going to get voted out, because I do believe that

92
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: what we are seeing right now, the reason why you

93
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: are seeing this kind of egregious, cruel legislative session that

94
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: is happening across this country at the state and local levels,

95
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: is because that's how close to actual progress we are.

96
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: That's how close to inclusive, multiracial democracy and democratic values

97
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: we are. You see, when they see people, queer people,

98
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: black people, people of color standing in their fullness and

99
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: standing in their power and daring to take up space,

100
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: they lose their fucking mind.

101
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: Right, you have.

102
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Children that are being shot dead in their classrooms, but

103
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: they think that it's more important to legislate against drag shows.

104
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: You see that we are losing right our global standing

105
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: in the world, But they think that it's more important

106
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that trans kids want to commit suicide

107
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: on a regular basis because you're creating such a hostile

108
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: and hateful environment for them to exist in. Right, and so,

109
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: of course these things are happening, But at the same time,

110
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: I also see a lot of pushback. I also see

111
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people in Wisconsin and Kansas and other

112
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: places saying, yeah, absolutely not on our watch.

113
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Right.

114
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: I am seeing people be voted into office and people

115
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: using their bully pulpit in order to take on these

116
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: right wing people. But when I see major corporations like

117
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: Target and mind you, let's just be very clear. Target

118
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: has always been doing undercovered dirt, right, because what Target

119
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: loves to do is take people's money by day and

120
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: then give money to Republican packs at night. So this

121
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: we're not new, right to what Target has always done

122
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: what a lot of these corporations have done, which is

123
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: that they are totally fine right to use capitalism as

124
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: a way to increase their shareholders' pockets, right, and their

125
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: CEO's pockets and to line those folks in wealth. But

126
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: they then turn around and they give the money that

127
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: you give to them, thinking that they are actually a

128
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: socially conscious company, they turn around and they give it

129
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: to those Republican packs. Right, so let's not get it twisted.

130
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: But when you decide to publicly cower and disregard the

131
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: safety and well being of an entire community, and you

132
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: use that quote unquote safety is the reason for you

133
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: cowering to tech errorists, get the fuck out of here

134
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: and miss me with your bullshit. I believe that it

135
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: was in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, Target brought in

136
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: about a one hundred and nine billion dollars in revenue.

137
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: One hundred and nine billion dollars. You're telling me you

138
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: can't hire a few security guards. You can't add some cameras, right,

139
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: you can't coordinate with local law enforcement to make sure

140
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: that they are on standing, on the ready so that

141
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: when these motherfuckers do come in and they try and

142
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: harm your employees, that they are readily picked up and

143
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: hauled off to fucking jail. You're telling me you can't

144
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: figure that the fuck out, that instead you would rather

145
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: cower and then want to go and then call the

146
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: heads of LGBTQ organizations to try and say to them, oh,

147
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: oh oh, you know, we're still with you. But it's

148
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: really about the safety. Let me tell you something for

149
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: those of you who are not a part of the

150
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: queer community, and I just want you to think for

151
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: a minute about young people, about young queer kids, right

152
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: that find no community, that have no safety. Right, not

153
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: in their schools anymore. Right, not in their clubs anymore,

154
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: not on their sports teams anymore, when you're living in

155
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: these red states. So to be able to walk into

156
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: a store, right and see somebody, see a T shirt,

157
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: see a rainbow display that says love is love, right,

158
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: that says pride is joy, that could save a kid's life,

159
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: that could save a queer kid's life.

160
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: Right to be.

161
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Able to know that maybe in their small towns and

162
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: in these small minded people's heads, that they may not

163
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: be accepted, but that the world at large actually sees them.

164
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: But that's not what Target did. Target decided not to

165
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: go the route of Disney. Target decided to go the

166
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: way of letting us know exactly who the fuck they are.

167
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: And this is why I say, folks, you know it

168
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: is really important for us to recognize our power as consumers,

169
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: write our power as people and say, you know what,

170
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: then fuck you Target. You know, I'd rather get my

171
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: stuff someplace else. I rather shop someplace else. Because if

172
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you can't be bold enough, right, if a young queer

173
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: kid can be in bolder in fucking Florida right now,

174
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: then you can. There's a fucking problem and they need

175
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: to be called out.

176
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: Look.

177
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I know that shame doesn't work because you cannot shame

178
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: the devil. But I'm telling you that you can absolutely

179
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: show people where your values are by where you put

180
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: your money. And so I'm calling on folks, you know what,

181
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: call in to the headquarters at Target right, call in

182
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: and say that this is shameful, Say that it is

183
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: an embarrassment that you thought that Target was better than this,

184
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: because they're not. But once they start to be trending

185
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: on social media for all the wrong reasons, once people

186
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: start in organizations right like Family Equality and HRC and

187
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: Equality Florida and other organizations that are coming together in

188
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: a letter to say to the people at Target, yeah,

189
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: we're not about this life right, like, this is actually

190
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: not fucking okay. I want to read for you all

191
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: a part of this collective letter that came out calling

192
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: on Target from Family Equality, Glad Glisten, the Human Rights Campaign,

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National LGBTQ Task Force,

194
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: and the National Black Justice Coalition. And here's in part

195
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: what it says.

196
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: Quote.

197
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Recent pushback against businesses such as Anaheuser, Bush and Target,

198
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: blatantly organized by extremist groups serves as a wake up

199
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: call for all business that support the LGBTQ plus community.

200
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: We've seen these extremist playbook of attacks before. Their goal

201
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: is clear to prevent lgbtq plus inclusion and representation, silence

202
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: our allies, and make our community invisible. These attacks fuel

203
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: hate against the LGBTQ plus people, just as we've seen

204
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: this year with more than five hundred anti LGBTQ plus

205
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: bills that restrict basic freedoms and aim to erase LGBTQ

206
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: plus people. Extremist attacks and harassment of businesses for standing

207
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: in solidarity with lgbtq plus community and values of diversity, equity,

208
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: and inclusion have challenged Target and businesses more broadly to

209
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: lead to demonstrate they mean what they say when investing

210
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: and standing with the LGBTQ plus people, creatives and organizations.

211
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: And let me say this, let me say this real

212
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: quick too, and there is no amount of fucking rainbow washing, right,

213
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: which means when these corporations that they don't actually want

214
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: to do the right thing and stand for the right thing,

215
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: and so they'll just throw money at the problem. They'll say, Okay,

216
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: well we're gonna take away the apparel line and we're

217
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: gonna take down our pride celebration. But oh here, HRC

218
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: will break you off a little piece of money. Here,

219
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: Glisten will break you off a little piece of money.

220
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: No amount of fucking rainbow washing is gonna wash away

221
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the stench that target has created with their cowardice.

222
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Right.

223
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: That's the fucking truth. And that's what all of these

224
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: organizations need to let these folks know that there is

225
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: no amount of rainbow washing. There's no amount of checks

226
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: that you're gonna send out that is gonna wash away

227
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: the stench of this cowardice and your inability to lead

228
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: in moments of crisis, because that's what the fuck we're

229
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: in right now. You have an opportunity to actually stand

230
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: with the people, stand with equity and inclusion and not

231
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: just take the LGBTQ community's money by day and then

232
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: fucking vote against and fill the coffers of the people

233
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: that will vote against their rights at night. You don't

234
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: get to do that, not anymore so for me today,

235
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Target is my major major, like fuck it for this week.

236
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Moving on, dear friends, because there is just so much

237
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: to get to. Let's go to Twitter, shall we to

238
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: where Ron death Santists, death Sciantists, dis Satan meetball. Ron Rob,

239
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump likes to refer to him, has announced

240
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: his run for the presidency. Let me tell you something

241
00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: about Ron DeSantis. This motherfucker is so lackluster. He makes

242
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: paint drying, brick walls and staring into just space seem exciting.

243
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is the epitome of lack of charisma. And

244
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want people to get it twisted

245
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: and think like, oh, well, he's a joke because all

246
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: of his he's had a failure to launch and show

247
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: prove that. This week with his ineffectual Twitter bomb where

248
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: he gets one of the most powerful and wealthy men

249
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in the world to stand on an audio stage with

250
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: him that is silent for several minutes, has major technical

251
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: difficulties and pulls in about six hundred thousand listeners, and

252
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: folks are like, oh my god, they broke the Internet.

253
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: No, bitch, you didn't break the Internet.

254
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you just fired too many people that actually worked

255
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: at Twitter and knew how to make things work Elon

256
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: Musk and so you couldn't manage that. But what I

257
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: think is happening over in Ron DeSantis's camp is that

258
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: they are really not reading the room, that they really

259
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: believe that the curated bubble that Ron DeSantis lives in

260
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: makes him feel as if he has a chance in

261
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: hell nationally and makes it feel as if the rest

262
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: of the country wants to look like Florida. It does

263
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: not news fucking flash. Okay, that's not to say that

264
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis as a whole is not a dangerous person

265
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: that we all need to be paying attention to, because

266
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately we do, because he's legislating hate at a rate

267
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: that I don't think that we have seen since Hitler.

268
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that we have seen this kind of

269
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: just blatant transphobia, homophobia, anti blackness, probably since the McCarthy era. Right, Like,

270
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: that's who Ron DeSantis is, and he's much smarter in

271
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: terms of political savvy and knowing legislative rules than Donald

272
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Trump ever was. But what he knows in that area,

273
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: he lacks in everything else, you know, like being able

274
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: to laugh like a normal human being or be able

275
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: to hold a conversation without saying the woke ten million times,

276
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: Like he has some type of fucking tick. So his launch,

277
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: and I use that with quotation marks, was a flop,

278
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: like I'm assuming his entire campaign will be. But I

279
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: don't want us to count him out because it's really

280
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: fucking early. But I got to tell you, when I'm

281
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: looking at the field the Republican slate, I'm just like, whoa,

282
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: you guys got not a not a fucking star, not

283
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: anybody with any energy, not anybody that doesn't have Donald

284
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Trump's policies. So I don't know how they plan on

285
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: taking him on, or maybe they're all just auditioning. Maybe

286
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: this is just the extension of the Apprentice, right, and

287
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: they all are just auditioning to be a part of

288
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: his next administration. And that is if he doesn't land

289
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: in jail before then. I mean, I'm not gonna hold

290
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: my breath because I don't want to pass out. But

291
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: the reality is is that the Republicans are not putting

292
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: up their best. Ron de Santis is not their best.

293
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Nikki Haley is not their best. Vi Veck Ramaswami not

294
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: their best. Tim Scott the faceless black man. And I

295
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: say that because that is literally his I guess his

296
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: campaign logo is literally a faceless black man. Go check

297
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: it out Google.

298
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.

299
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: No eyes, no nose, no mouth, right, because that's what

300
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the Republican Party thinks about black people in general. Right,

301
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: just faceless, right, don't really matter. So none of these

302
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: people are gonna hold a candle to Donald Trump. And

303
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I just, I mean, I almost can't wait for the

304
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: Republican Prime for the stage because my god, it is

305
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: just gonna be open season by Donald Trump. It's gonna

306
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: be like playing and I'm gonna date myself fucking duck

307
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Hunt on Nintendo. Like just line him up, shoot him down.

308
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna look like. I mean, did you

309
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: see the video that Donald Trump put out after Ron

310
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: DeSantis has failed launch? It was a blood death right,

311
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: And so you know, were to the wise for Ron

312
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: DeSantis's campaign. The biggest person on your candidate stage should

313
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: be the candidate no one else should be up there

314
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: outshining him, right, which you know is pretty impossible because

315
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: a light bulb could outshine him literally and figuratively.

316
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: But what a fucking does it?

317
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the one time that I will honestly agree

318
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, what a fucking disaster like?

319
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: Really? And then lastly, just to leave us on a.

320
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: Lighter note, you know, on this fuck at Friday, to

321
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: leave us on a lighter note. Did y'all see the

322
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: video of the entire Democratic Party left and at Marjorie

323
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: Taylor Green. So here's the thing. Marjorie Taylor Green was

324
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: serving in the speaker's chair for a vote and had

325
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: the audacity to bang the gavel and call on Democrats

326
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: to have decorum. Bitch, please, You first of all, don't

327
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: know how to spell decorum, let alone what the definition is.

328
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: And you are the last motherfucker that should be telling

329
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: anybody to have decorum. When you screamed at the President

330
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: of the United States during the State of the Union,

331
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: when you screamed and followed around a teenager on Capitol Hill,

332
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: David Hogg, who had already been traumatized by a school shooting,

333
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: when you I've had restraining orders put against you by

334
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: your colleagues because of your wayward and fucking erratic stalking

335
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: behavior on Capitol Hill. Give me a fucking break about decorum.

336
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Miss me with it. But folks, if you have not

337
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: seen that video of just the collective laughter that was

338
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: let out by Democrats on the floor when she called

339
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: for decorum, my god, it is a thing of beauty.

340
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: It is fucking hilarious because it's like that moment when

341
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: you're just you know, when you have one of those

342
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: bad dreams and it was set on the New Abnormal,

343
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: when you have one of those bad dreams and you're like,

344
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, everybody is looking and pointing and laughing

345
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: at me. Like that was her real life. That was

346
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: absolutely her real life. So yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green, shut up.

347
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

348
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: The other thing that I will say, if you want

349
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: to see another really good video from this week on

350
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: the positive side, check out and Google. Representative Jasmine Crockett,

351
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: who represents the thirtieth Congressional District of Texas, that took

352
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: one of her Republican colleagues to task in like forty seconds.

353
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: The clip has.

354
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: Gone viral where during a oversight committee hearing, her Republican

355
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: freshman colleague wanted to talk about rampant sexual abuse in Washington, DC,

356
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: and Jasmine Crockett then turned around and just read her

357
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: for filth, read the whole entire party for filth and said,

358
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: maybe instead of worrying about the crime that is happening

359
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, you may want to clean up the

360
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: crime that is happening in this fucking house with our

361
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: colleague that has been indicted on thirteen felony counts. Maybe

362
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: start with that and miss me with your bullshit.

363
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: That is it for me.

364
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,119
