And for those 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.679 of you who are new to wok F. Pride is 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.760 a big deal on WOKF where we try and talk 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:50.080 to influencers, academics, organizers, activists, personalities, etc. In the LGBTQ 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.320 plus community to bring you up to speed with what 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.640 is at stake, what is happening, and also how we 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.680 can remain joyful during this time. So that will be 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.760 coming up the whole month of June, and I'm super 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.120 excited about it. But before we get there, let's get 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:12.160 to fucking Friday. So first up on my list, God 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:17.080 damn it, fucking Target. You know, you, like Disney, have 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.880 been most adults happiest place on Earth, and you just 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.720 couldn't muster the fucking strength that Mickey Mouse has been 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.079 able to muster against Ronda Santis and instead you have caved. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.480 You have fallen like a fucking deck of cards. So 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.840 let me bring you all up to speed as to 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:41.000 where we are with Target. So once again, fucking right 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:47.160 wing bullshit Christians, white evangelical Christians have decided that they 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:52.240 can't avert their eyes. God forbid, God forbid, these people 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.520 live inside of a world where not just them exist. 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.960 God forbid. You walk into a fucking store or a 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.320 library or a fucking bookstore and see something that makes 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:10.200 you uncomfortable and just look the other way. God fucking forbid. So, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.280 for those of you who have ever shopped at Target 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.639 during the month of June, you know that Target had 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.480 created a bunch of apparel around Pride. I mean the 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.119 whole store basically look like Rainbow Bright threw up in there, right, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.040 that's the extent to which they had rainbowed out their 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.800 Pride collection during the month of June. Well, as it 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:37.000 turns out, you know, rainbows apparently are offensive. So is 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:41.000 saying the word pride is offensive. So is existing inside 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.160 of a gay body or queer body or a trans 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.920 body is just offensive. To these fucking people that can't 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.560 just manage to avert their fucking eyes, right, that can't 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.600 just manage to go about their fucking day, They got 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.720 to control everyone and everything around them. And so they've 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:04.640 decided not to just go into targets and throw around 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.080 pride gear and knock over displays, but they've decided to 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.960 also call in with threats of violence against those store 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:17.599 employees because of these Pride displays during the month of June. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.720 Now you would think to yourself, so haven't We always 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.559 been taught that you don't negotiate with terrorists, that once 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.040 you show them any sign of weakness, that they're gonna 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.520 take that and fucking run with it. Yeah, you have, 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.600 which is why you have seen the opposite happen down 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:42.280 in Florida with Disney and Ronda Santis's attacks on Disney. Right, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.760 you've seen them now lob lawsuits against Ronda Santis for 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.080 his attacks on private industry. So I wish, I wish 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.080 all people, all corporations, could show up in the way 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.479 that Disney has been showing up every single day to 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.359 battle that small, narrow, disc despicable human being known as 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.720 Ronda Santis. But instead Target has decided that for the safety, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.920 as they say, the quote unquote safety of their employees, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.600 they're not going to add more security. They're not going 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.640 to quote unquote stand their ground and their allyship for 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.880 the LGBTQ community. No, instead, they're going to remove their 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.880 pride apparel displays as a way to show extremists and 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.520 the right wing that they too can be bullied and 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.880 pushed around and that they will cave. Folks, When I 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.839 tell you what you can hear in my voice the 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:45.880 rage that bubbled up inside of me as I was 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.960 reading this story, as I was recognizing that. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.360 The right is winning. Right. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.400 And you may say, Danielle, like, how could you not 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.200 have realized that the right is winning? No, Because you know, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.400 when I'm looking at what is happening in Florida and 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.440 what's happening in Texas and Tennessee and Alabama and Mississippi 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.680 and all of the in South Carolina and North Carolina 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.760 and all of these places, I'm like, Okay, they're going 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:16.640 to keep pushing these constituents to the point where they're 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.960 going to get voted out, because I do believe that 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.719 what we are seeing right now, the reason why you 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:28.719 are seeing this kind of egregious, cruel legislative session that 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.840 is happening across this country at the state and local levels, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.479 is because that's how close to actual progress we are. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:43.479 That's how close to inclusive, multiracial democracy and democratic values 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:49.200 we are. You see, when they see people, queer people, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.960 black people, people of color standing in their fullness and 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.719 standing in their power and daring to take up space, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.320 they lose their fucking mind. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.200 Right, you have. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.520 Children that are being shot dead in their classrooms, but 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.239 they think that it's more important to legislate against drag shows. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:14.560 You see that we are losing right our global standing 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.600 in the world, But they think that it's more important 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.680 to make sure that trans kids want to commit suicide 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.920 on a regular basis because you're creating such a hostile 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:28.040 and hateful environment for them to exist in. Right, and so, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.640 of course these things are happening, But at the same time, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.080 I also see a lot of pushback. I also see 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.320 a lot of people in Wisconsin and Kansas and other 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.160 places saying, yeah, absolutely not on our watch. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:40.840 Right. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:45.120 I am seeing people be voted into office and people 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.600 using their bully pulpit in order to take on these 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.440 right wing people. But when I see major corporations like 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.679 Target and mind you, let's just be very clear. Target 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:03.120 has always been doing undercovered dirt, right, because what Target 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.120 loves to do is take people's money by day and 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.040 then give money to Republican packs at night. So this 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.520 we're not new, right to what Target has always done 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.280 what a lot of these corporations have done, which is 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.360 that they are totally fine right to use capitalism as 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:27.760 a way to increase their shareholders' pockets, right, and their 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:32.480 CEO's pockets and to line those folks in wealth. But 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.680 they then turn around and they give the money that 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.160 you give to them, thinking that they are actually a 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.959 socially conscious company, they turn around and they give it 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.160 to those Republican packs. Right, so let's not get it twisted. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.520 But when you decide to publicly cower and disregard the 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.719 safety and well being of an entire community, and you 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.880 use that quote unquote safety is the reason for you 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.960 cowering to tech errorists, get the fuck out of here 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.800 and miss me with your bullshit. I believe that it 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.800 was in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, Target brought in 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.920 about a one hundred and nine billion dollars in revenue. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.280 One hundred and nine billion dollars. You're telling me you 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.160 can't hire a few security guards. You can't add some cameras, right, 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:27.400 you can't coordinate with local law enforcement to make sure 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.840 that they are on standing, on the ready so that 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.640 when these motherfuckers do come in and they try and 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.640 harm your employees, that they are readily picked up and 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.120 hauled off to fucking jail. You're telling me you can't 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.520 figure that the fuck out, that instead you would rather 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.080 cower and then want to go and then call the 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.080 heads of LGBTQ organizations to try and say to them, oh, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.959 oh oh, you know, we're still with you. But it's 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:56.880 really about the safety. Let me tell you something for 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.520 those of you who are not a part of the 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.440 queer community, and I just want you to think for 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.920 a minute about young people, about young queer kids, right 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.840 that find no community, that have no safety. Right, not 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.720 in their schools anymore. Right, not in their clubs anymore, 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.360 not on their sports teams anymore, when you're living in 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.000 these red states. So to be able to walk into 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:23.240 a store, right and see somebody, see a T shirt, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:29.319 see a rainbow display that says love is love, right, 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.200 that says pride is joy, that could save a kid's life, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.760 that could save a queer kid's life. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:38.920 Right to be. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.400 Able to know that maybe in their small towns and 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.520 in these small minded people's heads, that they may not 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.880 be accepted, but that the world at large actually sees them. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.560 But that's not what Target did. Target decided not to 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.680 go the route of Disney. Target decided to go the 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.280 way of letting us know exactly who the fuck they are. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.400 And this is why I say, folks, you know it 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:06.480 is really important for us to recognize our power as consumers, 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.200 write our power as people and say, you know what, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.520 then fuck you Target. You know, I'd rather get my 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.000 stuff someplace else. I rather shop someplace else. Because if 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.840 you can't be bold enough, right, if a young queer 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.360 kid can be in bolder in fucking Florida right now, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:31.680 then you can. There's a fucking problem and they need 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:32.560 to be called out. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.160 Look. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.920 I know that shame doesn't work because you cannot shame 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.840 the devil. But I'm telling you that you can absolutely 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.240 show people where your values are by where you put 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.719 your money. And so I'm calling on folks, you know what, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.200 call in to the headquarters at Target right, call in 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.720 and say that this is shameful, Say that it is 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.040 an embarrassment that you thought that Target was better than this, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.720 because they're not. But once they start to be trending 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.880 on social media for all the wrong reasons, once people 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.360 start in organizations right like Family Equality and HRC and 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.040 Equality Florida and other organizations that are coming together in 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.080 a letter to say to the people at Target, yeah, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.160 we're not about this life right, like, this is actually 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:28.720 not fucking okay. I want to read for you all 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:34.280 a part of this collective letter that came out calling 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.640 on Target from Family Equality, Glad Glisten, the Human Rights Campaign, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.800 the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National LGBTQ Task Force, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.959 and the National Black Justice Coalition. And here's in part 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:47.720 what it says. 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:49.439 Quote. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.360 Recent pushback against businesses such as Anaheuser, Bush and Target, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.720 blatantly organized by extremist groups serves as a wake up 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.839 call for all business that support the LGBTQ plus community. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.680 We've seen these extremist playbook of attacks before. Their goal 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:13.160 is clear to prevent lgbtq plus inclusion and representation, silence 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:18.319 our allies, and make our community invisible. These attacks fuel 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.080 hate against the LGBTQ plus people, just as we've seen 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.400 this year with more than five hundred anti LGBTQ plus 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:31.559 bills that restrict basic freedoms and aim to erase LGBTQ 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.360 plus people. Extremist attacks and harassment of businesses for standing 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:41.439 in solidarity with lgbtq plus community and values of diversity, equity, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.360 and inclusion have challenged Target and businesses more broadly to 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.400 lead to demonstrate they mean what they say when investing 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:55.640 and standing with the LGBTQ plus people, creatives and organizations. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.480 And let me say this, let me say this real 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:03.440 quick too, and there is no amount of fucking rainbow washing, right, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.400 which means when these corporations that they don't actually want 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.160 to do the right thing and stand for the right thing, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.080 and so they'll just throw money at the problem. They'll say, Okay, 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.559 well we're gonna take away the apparel line and we're 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.959 gonna take down our pride celebration. But oh here, HRC 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.280 will break you off a little piece of money. Here, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.840 Glisten will break you off a little piece of money. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.160 No amount of fucking rainbow washing is gonna wash away 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.800 the stench that target has created with their cowardice. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:32.320 Right. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.920 That's the fucking truth. And that's what all of these 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.280 organizations need to let these folks know that there is 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.000 no amount of rainbow washing. There's no amount of checks 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.000 that you're gonna send out that is gonna wash away 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.720 the stench of this cowardice and your inability to lead 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.800 in moments of crisis, because that's what the fuck we're 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.680 in right now. You have an opportunity to actually stand 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.680 with the people, stand with equity and inclusion and not 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.280 just take the LGBTQ community's money by day and then 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.400 fucking vote against and fill the coffers of the people 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.040 that will vote against their rights at night. You don't 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:17.200 get to do that, not anymore so for me today, 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:24.440 Target is my major major, like fuck it for this week. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.880 Moving on, dear friends, because there is just so much 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:36.120 to get to. Let's go to Twitter, shall we to 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:46.720 where Ron death Santists, death Sciantists, dis Satan meetball. Ron Rob, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.360 as Donald Trump likes to refer to him, has announced 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.760 his run for the presidency. Let me tell you something 0:15:53.800 --> 0:16:00.880 about Ron DeSantis. This motherfucker is so lackluster. He makes 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:09.239 paint drying, brick walls and staring into just space seem exciting. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:17.840 Ron DeSantis is the epitome of lack of charisma. And 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.400 you know, I don't want people to get it twisted 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.600 and think like, oh, well, he's a joke because all 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.760 of his he's had a failure to launch and show 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.800 prove that. This week with his ineffectual Twitter bomb where 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.120 he gets one of the most powerful and wealthy men 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.120 in the world to stand on an audio stage with 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.800 him that is silent for several minutes, has major technical 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:47.720 difficulties and pulls in about six hundred thousand listeners, and 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.640 folks are like, oh my god, they broke the Internet. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.320 No, bitch, you didn't break the Internet. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.880 Maybe you just fired too many people that actually worked 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.960 at Twitter and knew how to make things work Elon 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:02.240 Musk and so you couldn't manage that. But what I 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.280 think is happening over in Ron DeSantis's camp is that 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:11.840 they are really not reading the room, that they really 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:17.800 believe that the curated bubble that Ron DeSantis lives in 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.320 makes him feel as if he has a chance in 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.280 hell nationally and makes it feel as if the rest 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.840 of the country wants to look like Florida. It does 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:34.080 not news fucking flash. Okay, that's not to say that 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.000 Ron DeSantis as a whole is not a dangerous person 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.080 that we all need to be paying attention to, because 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.840 unfortunately we do, because he's legislating hate at a rate 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.919 that I don't think that we have seen since Hitler. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.840 I don't think that we have seen this kind of 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:56.040 just blatant transphobia, homophobia, anti blackness, probably since the McCarthy era. Right, Like, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.760 that's who Ron DeSantis is, and he's much smarter in 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:04.520 terms of political savvy and knowing legislative rules than Donald 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.720 Trump ever was. But what he knows in that area, 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.800 he lacks in everything else, you know, like being able 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.640 to laugh like a normal human being or be able 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.840 to hold a conversation without saying the woke ten million times, 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.160 Like he has some type of fucking tick. So his launch, 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.320 and I use that with quotation marks, was a flop, 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.399 like I'm assuming his entire campaign will be. But I 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.320 don't want us to count him out because it's really 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.600 fucking early. But I got to tell you, when I'm 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:40.040 looking at the field the Republican slate, I'm just like, whoa, 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.399 you guys got not a not a fucking star, not 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.560 anybody with any energy, not anybody that doesn't have Donald 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.280 Trump's policies. So I don't know how they plan on 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.879 taking him on, or maybe they're all just auditioning. Maybe 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.639 this is just the extension of the Apprentice, right, and 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.280 they all are just auditioning to be a part of 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.640 his next administration. And that is if he doesn't land 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.960 in jail before then. I mean, I'm not gonna hold 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.120 my breath because I don't want to pass out. But 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.639 the reality is is that the Republicans are not putting 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.840 up their best. Ron de Santis is not their best. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.760 Nikki Haley is not their best. Vi Veck Ramaswami not 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.320 their best. Tim Scott the faceless black man. And I 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.560 say that because that is literally his I guess his 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:34.360 campaign logo is literally a faceless black man. Go check 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:35.160 it out Google. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:36.000 I'm not kidding. 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.080 No eyes, no nose, no mouth, right, because that's what 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:45.000 the Republican Party thinks about black people in general. Right, 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:50.280 just faceless, right, don't really matter. So none of these 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:54.720 people are gonna hold a candle to Donald Trump. And 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.960 I just, I mean, I almost can't wait for the 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.080 Republican Prime for the stage because my god, it is 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.520 just gonna be open season by Donald Trump. It's gonna 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.440 be like playing and I'm gonna date myself fucking duck 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:14.320 Hunt on Nintendo. Like just line him up, shoot him down. 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.480 That's what it's gonna look like. I mean, did you 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.919 see the video that Donald Trump put out after Ron 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:28.840 DeSantis has failed launch? It was a blood death right, 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:33.000 And so you know, were to the wise for Ron 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:39.800 DeSantis's campaign. The biggest person on your candidate stage should 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.040 be the candidate no one else should be up there 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.520 outshining him, right, which you know is pretty impossible because 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.680 a light bulb could outshine him literally and figuratively. 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.840 But what a fucking does it? 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.080 I mean, the one time that I will honestly agree 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.560 with Donald Trump, what a fucking disaster like? 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:09.640 Really? And then lastly, just to leave us on a. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.520 Lighter note, you know, on this fuck at Friday, to 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.040 leave us on a lighter note. Did y'all see the 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.639 video of the entire Democratic Party left and at Marjorie 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:23.240 Taylor Green. So here's the thing. Marjorie Taylor Green was 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:28.800 serving in the speaker's chair for a vote and had 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:33.480 the audacity to bang the gavel and call on Democrats 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:38.560 to have decorum. Bitch, please, You first of all, don't 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:42.000 know how to spell decorum, let alone what the definition is. 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.960 And you are the last motherfucker that should be telling 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.360 anybody to have decorum. When you screamed at the President 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.040 of the United States during the State of the Union, 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.520 when you screamed and followed around a teenager on Capitol Hill, 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.080 David Hogg, who had already been traumatized by a school shooting, 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.960 when you I've had restraining orders put against you by 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:07.960 your colleagues because of your wayward and fucking erratic stalking 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:13.560 behavior on Capitol Hill. Give me a fucking break about decorum. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.080 Miss me with it. But folks, if you have not 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:24.159 seen that video of just the collective laughter that was 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.440 let out by Democrats on the floor when she called 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.520 for decorum, my god, it is a thing of beauty. 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:35.000 It is fucking hilarious because it's like that moment when 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.120 you're just you know, when you have one of those 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.159 bad dreams and it was set on the New Abnormal, 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.679 when you have one of those bad dreams and you're like, 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.520 oh my god, everybody is looking and pointing and laughing 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.719 at me. Like that was her real life. That was 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:54.320 absolutely her real life. So yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green, shut up. 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:55.000 Okay. 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.400 The other thing that I will say, if you want 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:02.439 to see another really good video from this week on 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:08.520 the positive side, check out and Google.
