WEBVTT - Republican Death Cult 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.560 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.880 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording live from the Brooklyn Bunker. Folks, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.000 this has been one of the most obscene news cycles 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.080 I have seen in quite some time. And I will 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.360 say this, why is it obscene? Well, one, you know, 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.519 I have been getting some pushback on social media after 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:40.200 the announcement of New York Governor Cuomo resigning in two weeks. 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.199 He will no longer be governor of New York. He 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:49.240 had finally succumbed to the pressure placed on him by 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:55.040 the Democrats in New York and across the board. I 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.160 knew once Biden had waited in on the issue that 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.960 he was going to their for resign And here's my 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.880 issue with this. And I said this on social media 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.080 and people are like, oh my god, like, clearly you're 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.040 for a sexual harassment and assault of women. Know the 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.360 fuck I am not. But what I did say is this, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:21.240 Democrats always resign. Always we go after our own harder 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.119 than we do our opponents. We had a rapist as 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.640 a President of the United States and another one on 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.840 the Supreme Court. Nothing ever, happens to Republicans. Nothing and 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.720 the pushback that I'm getting is a lot where folks 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.399 are just you know, well, we have higher standards and 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.119 we have morals. I don't think that people fucking get 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.280 the fact that you cannot have a democracy that is 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.760 supposed to have a strong two party system and only 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.240 have one party that goes after their own and eats 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.720 their young as opposed to turning on the hoses right 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.000 on the Republican fucking Party. Am I saying that Cuomo 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.600 should not have resigned, Absolutely not, But I'm saying, where 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.200 the fuck is the energy for Matt Gates? Where is 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.919 the energy for the Trump investigation and indictments rolling down 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.360 on him, on Clark On bar On Sessions, right, Like, 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.160 where the fuck is that energy? You know? And it's 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.720 just it's infuriating to me that we will go after 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.600 people within our own party with a fury and an 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.000 energy that we do not give people who frankly tried 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.080 to have their fucking colleagues killed in the septem in 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.600 the January insurrection. Here we are, and I guarantee you 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.520 that we would probably see Cuomo behind bars right or 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:52.360 criminally liable or civilly liable in some way for his 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.119 harassment and what he did in his office. Then we 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.440 were for the fact that Donald Trump endangered the entire country, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.799 is fucking sick, almost brought us into war, caused a coup, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.639 and this motherfucker is still walking around and we want 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.760 to be patting ourselves on the back talking about fucking infrastructure. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:15.600 Get out of here. So the fact that people continue 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.359 to say to me, well, you know this is wrong. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.800 I don't care about the moral high ground. Let me 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.600 just be fucking frank. I could care less about the 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.000 moral high ground. The moral high ground does not put 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.359 fucking food on the table. The moral high ground does 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.600 not secure our democracy from white supremacist terrorists insurrectionists, right, 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.360 that is not what it does. The fact that Democrats 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.720 continue to sit around and scratch their heads and rub 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.480 their chins like I can't believe there's no bottom for Republicans. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.880 But we're still going to give them a win in 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.640 terms of having this bipartisan infrastructure deal that is now 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.240 two and a half trillion dollars less than what was 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.880 what was wanted in the first goddamn place. Mitch McConnell 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.880 signed on to this deal, and I'm going to have 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.040 a conversation later in the show with our friend Kurt Bardella, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.080 who's like, anytime that Mitch McConnell signs onto something, everyone 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.120 should ask themselves why and what is the strategy behind it? 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.520 And here is the strategy. Because Democrats only want to 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.680 do things in a bipartisan fucking manner, then they have 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.040 just set themselves up with this obstructionist ass fucking Senate 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:26.159 and this extremist radical right party cult that if they 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:31.200 do not have bipartisan agreement on various issues like say, oh, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.839 I don't know voting rights, then Republicans can just turn 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.080 around and say, well, bipartisanship is possible, look at the 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.960 infrastructure deal. Then you have the Mansions and the cinemas 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.680 of the world still wanted to uphold some bullshit filibuster 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:50.640 right instead of doing something about our crumbling democracy. My 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.680 problem is consistently with the fact that Democrats don't have 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:59.280 a fucking backbone, that they are spineless, fucking jellyfish, and 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.640 that every thing that we do as a party is reactionary. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.200 We don't lead on a fucking thing because we're too 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:12.640 fearful of what it is that Republicans will do instead 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.560 of fucking taking action. But the only time that you 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.159 ever see Democrats come out really fucking tough is when 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.640 they are taking on a member of their own goddamn party. Now, 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.680 am I saying that we should become the party of 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.640 sexual predators, harassers, and what have you like? Republicans? Absolutely 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.359 fucking not, and I should not have to clarify that 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.760 statement if you know who I am. But at the 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.799 same point, it would be great that we would circle 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.800 the wagons right around members of our own party and 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.960 go after Republicans with the type of venom that we 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.120 do our own. We are in the midst of a 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:59.760 four alarm fucking fire in this country, literally and figuratively. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.640 Everywhere you look there is motherfucking fire and smoke. Right 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.000 we are looking at the skies over California, over the 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:15.240 western part of this country that are orange. We are 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.960 literally just got a climate report in talking about how 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.839 things that we have done are irreparable to our Earth, 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.000 And we have an opportunity, a slim window that I 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.800 don't think that we will fucking meet to ensure that 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.000 nothing worse happens than they already one and a half 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:41.800 degree rise in the Earth's temperature. So you know, folks, 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:51.160 it is troubling to me that we will continue is 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.320 not have our eye on the ball, not recognize what 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.560 is of most importance. And the only thing that is 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:04.840 important right now is stopping this motherfucking pandemic, holding those 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:11.440 responsible for the continuation of this pandemic, stopping climate change, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:19.280 and holding on to what is left of our fucking kleptocracy. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.000 Because here's the thing that I am becoming more and 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.720 more disillusioned with is the fact that if you are 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.880 not a billionaire, you have no voice in this quote 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.760 unquote democracy. I have this conversation yesterday with my mother, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.320 who is a staunch Democrat, and I posted this on 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.800 social media as well. My mother stopped watching the news, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.880 which she used to watch on a regular basis, right 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.240 because of how toxic and destructive it was coming to 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.360 her emotional health and wellbeing. So she'll pay attention to 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.360 clips and alerts, but she no longer sits around and 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.080 ingests it in the way that she does. After Cuomo resigned, 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.240 she said, you know what, I don't even know what 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.600 the fuck we're voting not. My mother doesn't curse, this 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.960 is my language. She goes, I don't even know what 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.480 we're voting for. Anymore. I don't even know what the 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.560 purpose of it is. This is a woman who came 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.840 to the United States as a young girl, right with 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.360 high hopes and dreams that she was able to meet 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:22.640 and achieve, who believes very much in democracy, right in 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.080 the ability to build, right in the possibility of the 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.800 dream that she was able to achieve and therefore pass 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.640 down to her daughters. And this woman is telling me 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.080 this week, I don't know why I am voting anymore. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.880 And if my mother feels like that, then I know 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.400 a whole host of other people feel that way too. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.559 And the only way to change that sense of hopelessness 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.720 is to take action and to go hard, not just 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.319 for those that do wrong within your own group, but 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.680 for every one who is doing wrong, and that wrong 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:09.360 is hurting the collection of us, the entire community. Right, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.880 Look at what Donald Trump was able to do, Look 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.280 at what he's continued to do, because we take no 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:29.280 action against Donald Trump, we take no action against his sycophants, right, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.440 We just want to pretend that it's not happening. We 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.000 want to move on, As everyone keeps saying, how the 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.040 fuck do you move forward when you have that type 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:42.040 of anvil attached to you, unless you set your eyes 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.319 on recognizing that this Republican Party is not a party, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.199 it is a cult. Unless you recognize that their foundation 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.760 is in white supremacy, patriarchy, and misogyny. Unless you recognize 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.160 that as soon as they get power, America is turning 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.240 into an autocracy, and that you have no time to 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:03.640 waste and the clock is fucking running dow down, then 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.800 we are going to have more and more people across 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.520 this country like that are becoming disillusioned and feeling this 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.520 sense of hopelessness that my mother is and when you 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:19.960 have lost her, you have just lost. So I am 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:26.280 beyond concerned about where our democracy is headed when this 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.360 is what we want to be paying attention to. I'm 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.600 glad that Cuomo resigned. He should because he should care 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.000 enough about the state that he helped save, and I 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.640 will not rob that from him. He helped save New York, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.520 which was the epicenter of the coronavirus for the world 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.920 last year, and when I think about where we are 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.280 now from where we were last year at this time, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.520 I am grateful, but that does not excuse what he 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:01.120 has done. But I'm not going to dismiss it and 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.520 I'm gonna instead say that it's time for us to 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:09.480 focus right on our true, real enemies, enemies of the 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.240 fucking state. And the question is when are we going 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.200 to do that? Coming up next, dear friends, in my 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.320 conversation with our Woke Wednesday panel doctor Jonathan Metzel and 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:28.079 Kurt Bardella. Folks, you know that I'm always so happy 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.800 when we have our in house doctor, doctor Jonathan Metzel, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.000 join us to talk about why this country is so 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:40.640 hell bent on dying of whiteness and stupidity. Jonathan, you know, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.800 I don't even know now, and I feel like we 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.920 should start marking these shows where you told us about 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.600 the delta variant. You told us about the delta variant, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.520 I want to say about a month ago, and in 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.319 that month's time, maybe it's you know, five weeks so 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.800 or a little bit less, but in that time we 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.640 are now at delta plus and also a lambda variant 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:09.200 we are seeing across this country surges in pretty much 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.120 every state, but in those hot spots of Texas and 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:18.080 Florida where we have executioners aka the governors of that 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.800 state that are not at all interested in keeping their 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:26.800 constituents safe and now just Recently, this week, Governor Abbott 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.080 of Texas had the audacity to put out an SOS 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:36.880 for healthcare providers and healthcare workers from outside of Texas 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.680 to come in and help them with a surge that 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.360 he caused. I don't even know where to begin, Jonathan, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.000 But like we've been talking about the fact that there 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.319 was going that when we hit mid October, that we 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.760 were going to see extraordinary numbers. But I feel like 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.679 we're ahead of the curve right now. What do you 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.520 feel how do you feel I should say about what 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.360 is going on, what is transpiring and the strategy or 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.400 I don't even know if you can call what Abbott 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.880 and the Satan are doing a strategy, But like, what 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.440 do you think about where we are right now? Well, 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.920 remember last week when we spoke, when we ended the conversation, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.640 we said, these governors can do whatever they want, and 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.760 they do have a political strategy, right make you know, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.320 make make this false binary between the economy on one 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.320 side and public health on the other, which is a 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.679 totally false construct. But their idea was if we can 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.240 just be like all in on the economy, we can 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.080 weather the surge and we can weather really what's becoming 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.040 a pretty catastrophic human cost. And what you and I 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.679 said last week is this isn't going to work. So 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.520 last week I said, let's give it two weeks. But 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.800 it's really it's like it's about one week later. There 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.880 are no hospital beds ICUs or full ic use are 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:57.839 full of young people. Help you people. And so really, 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.400 again we've been saying this for a and a half. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.800 Now that the virus sets the narrative, we can impose 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.320 our politics on it, we can do all of our stuff, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.040 but ultimately, this delta variant, in particular, you can catch 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.560 it in ten seconds. It gives you a much higher 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.280 viral load, so you get sicker. The only thing you 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.920 can do to protect yourself is to get vaccinated and 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.400 wear a mask inside. And people are kind of waking 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.280 up to that, and so if you try to put 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.680 a frame over that, that is basically telling parents to 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.120 sacrifice their kids, which is in part what's happening here. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.760 You know, people aren't going to stand for it. And 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.680 I think you know what we're going to see over 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.360 the next week or so, is you know, some kind 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.240 of face saving way to change these horrible positions and 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:48.600 support potentially could could crumble for Democratic for Republican governors 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.480 like Abbott and De Santis, who seemed unassailable even a 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:58.800 few weeks ago. Folks, I'm always so excited when we 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:04.560 have our friends and MSNBC contributor Think columnist USA Today 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.920 contributor Kurt Bardella join us on Woke f to go 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.200 inside the Republican mind. Just this week, I'm kind of 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.560 looking at the news and I'm saying to myself, we're 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.800 in the midst of an existential climate crisis. Like literally 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.280 every part of the world is on fire, from Greece 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.200 to California and places in between. But you're watching the 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.560 news and you would think that this is relatively normal. Oh, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.360 there are wildfires again in California, and I'm like, it's 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.080 burned almost half a million acres right, Like people have 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.560 lost their homes, thirty thousand people are displaced, and I 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.480 just wonder, like, are we losing the force through the 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.880 trees and are we going to find ourselves in December 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.200 of twenty twenty two, after the midterm elections, standing around 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.800 scratching our heads because that's what we're doing right now. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.200 We're not taking any definitive of action. We're going to 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.640 hail the Infrastructure Bill as this bipartisan flag that we 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.200 want to wave. But is it not just more fuel 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.720 to the fire for the Mansions and the cinemas of 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.040 the world to say, well, this is why we won't 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.680 get rid of the filibuster, because we can get things done. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.080 There's a reason why Mitch McConnell voted for this, and 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.360 I think people should think about that for a second. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.440 If Mitch McConnell's okay with something, that means he thinks 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.120 there's advantage, and the advantage for him in his mind is, well, 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.760 this pretty much ties the Democrats hands going forward anything 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.920 else because now they've set a benchmarking a standard for 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.800 quote unquote bipartisanship, and now anything short of that is 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.560 a no go. Yep. And you know, I just think 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:44.480 that Democrats need to understand Republicans do a great job 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.280 of weaponizing fear and using it to get elected and 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.920 to acquire power. And if I'm the Democratic Party right now, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.720 I am bombarding the air waves we are with a 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:02.640 very simple message. Republicans are a death cult. Republicans want 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.240 you to die. Republicans not just with COVID. But what 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.120 if you like clean air, If you like clean water. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.640 Guess what they're your end. If you want your kids 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.479 to get lung cancer, then go vote Republic because that's 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.080 what's gonna happen. Like that's we are literally guest now 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.560 where all of these things are life and death situations now, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.960 and it's almost at the point of no return, which 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.760 is depressing to think about, and I try not to 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.760 because it's like, what the fuck does it matter then? 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.280 But I'll tell you, like if you know, we have 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:37.080 seen through COVID the Republican Party and people like Iran 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.879 that's santists and Greg Abbott are willing to have their people, 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.919 their citizens die to advance a political goal. So I 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.719 have no hope that the republic Party is gonna wake 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.760 up one day and decide that our planets worth saving. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.800 They will continue being in the talk at a fossil 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.879 fuel in old companies till the minute that this planet 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.560 blows up, and they will sit there and say nothing 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.760 to worry about. They're just alarmist, extremist liberals that are 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.280 trying to scare you despite the fact that there's a 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.640 tidal wave or a fire burning in your backyard. They 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.960 don't care. And so we need to move past this 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.679 idea that we can change their mind, that they were 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.760 going to wake up and see the light, that things 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.080 are gonna be able to go back to the way 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.399 that they used to be when the Senate was truly 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:23.359 a bipartisan entity. That's dead like that, like infrastructure is 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:30.200 an aberition. It is a once in a two decade 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.600 like achieve and again all credits about it. It's great 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.240 that it's going to happen. Fantastic. I have no problem 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.760 with that. It is one of the most sweeping progressive 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.600 pieces of legislation that we'll probably ever see in our lifetime. 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.720 Kudos to you. That is not the standard, though, that 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.360 is the exception, not the rule. And if Democrats aren't careful, 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.840 they're going to find themselves trapped by their own achievement here. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:19:00.520 And I think that's what McConnell's kind of doing. That's 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.560 it for Today's Woke, a f daily podcast.
