WEBVTT - Democrats Are Better

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to OKAP Daily with me

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>your girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the home bunker. Folks.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't normally spend a lot of time on this show,

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>or frankly, any of my shows talking about foreign affairs,

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>because I'm an expert in what happens in America and

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in American politics. But I will tell you that what

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>is transpired in South Korea and has occupied our airwaves

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and social media has my Spidey senses off in Itzzy.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But let me start with my favorite topic, shall we,

0:00:53.280 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>which is goddamn democrats. Like Honestly, frankly, I can't tell

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>you enough how many times I have said this over

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years. I am not asking for Democrats

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to completely flip the table and say, well, if they're

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to play by the rule of law, then

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to play by the rule of law. No,

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>but there are times when you must recognize that the

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>law has its limitations. And right now, this both sides

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is a bullshit that Democrats find themselves in with the

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>comparison the audacity, first of all, to compare what has

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>happened with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden pardoning him, and

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the myriad of crimes that Donald Trump has committed and

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>also his inner circle has committed, and Donald Trump then

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>pardoned them all four the fact that Democrats are even uttering,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>how can we possibly hold Donald Trump accountable when Joe

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Biden pardons his unelected son for filling out a form improperly.

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 1>But you want to compare that to thirty four felony counts.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You want to compare that to hiding documents when you

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>were asked by the National Archives on multiple occasions to

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>return them. You want to compare that to can you

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>do me a favor? Though? You want to compare that

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to find me eleven seven hundred and sixty four votes? Though?

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You want to compare that to Mike Flynn being a

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>foreign agent. You want to compare that to Steve Bannon

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>grifting off of the American people and telling them that

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>they were going to be paying for a brick to

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>build a wall that oh, Donald Trump said that Mexico

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>was going to pay for and then pocketing that money.

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You want to compare that to Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's daddy,

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>blackmailing and trying to pay off a prostitute to blackmail

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>his own sister, who is now going to be the

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>new ambassador to France. You want to compare Hunter Biden

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to that, like, are y'all stupid? Like? That is the

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>question that I have for establishment Democrats at this time.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you all dumb? Because you act like you have

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>no fucking sense and you act as if you haven't

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>learned anything anything over the past ten years. So for

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>people to say that this pardon is gonna send Donald

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump over the edge, bitch, you should have had a

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>parachute a long time ago, because we've been over the

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>edge for the last decade. Miss me with it. But

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to talk about Joe Biden pardoning his son

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on trumped up political charges that were only created so

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that Merrick Garland's bullshit, lackluster, spineless Department of Justice could

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>have the perception of both sides. Did you hear the

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>list of people and crimes that were committed by Donald

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump and his inner circle? But Democrats right now have

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>themselves up in a tizzy over one pardon that if

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>his last name as Eric Holder, said former USAG said

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 1>that if Hunter Biden's name last name had been Smith

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 1>or Thompson, or anything other than Biden, he wouldn't have

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>been awaiting sentencing to begin with. So in the push

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>not to quote unquote play politics, all Merrick Garland has

0:04:55.400 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>done is play politics. And frankly, the only mistake that

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden made with regard to this is that he

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>should have never said that he was never going to

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>pardon his son. He should have said, I'm going to

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>allow the Justice Department to move through their investigation, which

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>is separate from my administration, and then we will see

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and keep it fucking moving. But the actions that Democrats

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>are taking right now are exactly the reason why people

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>want to abandon the Democratic Party to begin with. You see, folks,

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party has been waging war on Democrats on

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>democracy since the beginning of the Tea Party, okay, which

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>started during the Obama administration, Right, so, since the Tea

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Party and Donald Trump coming onto the stage asking for

0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama's papers, right, they have been waging war on democracy.

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And what have Democrats been doing just hang ringing, pointing fingers,

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to pretend that they are the adults in the

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>room when guess what, folks, everybody else has left the

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking room. Because they're tired of the both sides ism.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>They're tired of the run that Democrats are doing, running

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>up behind the Republican Party as they continue to move

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>into further extremism. Guess who's chasing them to the right.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It is Democrats. So, friends, we can't sit around here

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, well, we have to be better, because

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>my thing is we are better. We don't have to

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>create trumped up charges. We don't have to create this

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>both sides ism and bullshit in order to showcase that

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we are better. No one should have said anything when

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden was pardoned, not a fucking person inside of

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party. They should have all done what Jasmine said,

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>which was bravo, and then follow that up with the

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>list of people that Donald Trump had pardoned who are

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>known criminals, which is what Rachel Maddow did. It is

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>an abdication of duty and responsibility that Democrats continue to

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.239
<v Speaker 1>show in this moment that while they should be bracing

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>themselves for the incoming of fascism, for the incoming of autocracy,

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and how they plant to function in that, No, they're

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna waste the next couple of weeks talking about Joe

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden pardoning his son and think that somehow what Republicans

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>are not laughing at them and thinking how ridiculous they are.

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>This is why we are in this space right now,

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>because Democrats abandoned their base in an attempt to try

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and court the Republicans that somehow they think don't follow

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and somehow would be able to bring them

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>over as opposed to amplifying the issues and creating the

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>solutions to the problems that are actually plaguing their base.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>We find ourselves here, folks, not just because Republicans have

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>shown us who they are, but because Democrats don't know

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>who the fuck they are. That's why we find ourselves

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>in the place that we are in. And so let

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.079
<v Speaker 1>us now look and take a gander at what has

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>happened in South Korea. So, folks, let me give you

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>just a quick little history lesson martial law. What is

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>martial law? It's a word that is thrown around all

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the time, a phrase that is thrown around, but I

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>don't actually think that we really know what martial law is. Well,

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>it says here martial law is the temporary substitution of

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>military authority for civilian rule, typically invoked during emergencies. It

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>has been used folks roughly sixty eight times in the

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>United States's two hundred and fifty year history. Nearly read here.

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>In the US, it can be declared at both state

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and federal levels, and is often associated with the suspension

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>of constitutional rights such as habeas corpus. The Posse Commeatus

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Act of eighteen seventy eight generally prohibits the military from

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>enforcing domestic law without congressional approval, but exceptions can be

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>made during periods of rebellion, invasion, or public safety emergency.

0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Let me pause here. Why are we talking about this time? Well,

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>because the president of South Korea, President Yun, decided that

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>as he was being alerted to the fact, Well one,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.719
<v Speaker 1>his approval ratings are roughly around twenty two percent. He

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>is the conservative in South Korea, and the parliament is

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>controlled by DP, the Democratic Party, and there were rumblings

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that they were getting ready to impeach him along with

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>some of his cabinet. And to avoid that impeachment, this

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 1>mffort decided that he was going to invoke martial law.

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Y'all put a pin in that. So go back to

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>our history, lesson, when was the last time that the

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 1>US declared martial law. Well, it was in nineteen forty one,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>actually December seventh, nineteen forty one, to be exact. And

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>when did it occur? When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor,

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the US federal government declared martial law in Hawaii, which

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>persisted through October nineteen forty four. And again, the United

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>States has only declared martial law roughly sixty eight times.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>No martial law was not declared during nine to eleven.

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>So I want to bring you through exactly what it

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>is that happened. South Korea's president declares martial law and

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>during that time, the military helicopters everything basically broke out

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>at parliament to try and stop members of parliament from

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>entering the building to vote to end martial law. So

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>President Yun calls for martial law because Parliament is getting

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ready to potentially impeach him, and he does this to

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>suspend all political activity from stopping Parliament from organizing and voting.

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And what do the members of parliament do. They break

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>into parliament, hopping the walls, breaking into windows to get

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>in to organize to vote. So the military was breaking

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>into parliament, smashing the windows and attempting to storm the

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>National Assembly because they were initially following the president's martial

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.479
<v Speaker 1>law order. Because why were they breaking in the military

0:12:53.280 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>because Parliament voted to unanimously, unanimously lifting martial law so

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that they could reclaim democracy. Because this mffor wanted to

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>hold on to power visa via dictatorship. He openly threatened

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to stop democracy so that he wouldn't be impeached. And

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>then they had to break in to parliament to vote

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.959
<v Speaker 1>to stop the dictator and the military didn't know whose

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 1>rules to follow. Folks, Why am I talking about this

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>today because I don't know if this is foreshadowing or not.

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 1>So I'll read you this. Let this sink in. A

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>government trying to restore freedom is being silenced at gunpoint.

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the first time martial law in South Korea

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>is declared since nineteen seventy nine, when it preceded the

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>informans I will butcher this Yangzhou uprising President Yun Sukiel's justification.

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>He claimed martial law was to stop quote prepare for it, folks,

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>anti state forces. That he claimed that the opposition party,

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party, was working alongside North Korea. Do you

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>see follow the bouncing ball here, he basically lied to

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>say that the opposition to him were really enemies of

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the state and that they were working alongside the North

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Koreans and he had to issue martial law in order

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to stop these communist forces from taking over the country. Folks,

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>what does this sound like? This tweet goes on to say,

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>this isn't about protecting the nation, It's about consolidating power.

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Martial law is being weaponized to suppress dissent and control

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the media because the added benefit of issuing martial law

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in South Korea means that guess who gets to take

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>over the media? The president, So guess who gets to

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>stop any objections from coming in President Yun? Guess who

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>gets to relay their message that I'm doing this for

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>your safety because the Democratic Party of South Korea is

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>working with North Korea and I'm here trying to save democracy.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Who does this sound like, folks? The person writing the

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>tweet goes on to say, South Korea is standing on

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the edge of authoritarianism and the world is watching this,

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 1>My dear friends, is what this should remind all of

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>us of. This is exactly what was happening. January sixth,

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one. Donald Trump wanted to hold on to power,

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>so he told his band of insurrectionists to go take

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>their country back because there was what illegalities as it

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>attains to the vote. Their vote was stolen. The Democratic

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Party was stealing their votes. So you need to go

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>take your country back. And this mob believed him. When

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump was told what was happening, did he call

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in backup to help the police, No he did not.

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Did he call in the military, No he did not.

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>What concerns me about what we just saw unfolding South

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Korea is that parliament is actually still controlled by the opposition. However,

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 1>for us here in the United States, Democrats don't control

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a goddamn thing. On top of the fact that they

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>don't even control their fucking message. So going back to

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the top, the United States has only declared martial law,

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>which the President of the United States has the ability

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>to do, Congress has the ability to do, and governors

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to do. But in cases of natural disaster, rebellion,

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>or unrest, laws can be suspended. What did I say

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>yesterday about how Donald Trump will decide to manufacture crises

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 1>in order to push through his plans of authoritarianism. And

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the thing here is that, unlike South Korea, again, Democrats

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>do not control the House, nor do they control the Senate,

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>nor do they control the White House or the judiciary.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>So what is to stop Donald Trump from coming in

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 1>and saying one that we have an invasion, language that

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>you have heard him use when discussing undocumented people in

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>this country. He has said, we are in an invasion.

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>These are when you're able to institute, whether it be

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the Insurrection Act, which is what his followers wanted him

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to use on January sixth, which also, by the way,

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>allows you to designate a militia. So the fact is, yes,

0:18:54.200 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump has zero guardrails, and he has been given absolute

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>immunity by the Supreme Court. There is very little, friends,

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 1>except what a handful of Republicans that maybe still believe

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in the rule of law. But if they did, then

0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 1>they would have voted to impeach Donald Trump. So either

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he declares right that there is an invasion coming across

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the border and we need to call in martial law,

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>or he manufactures a state of unrest, which is what

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>we did actually see during the twenty twenty summer of

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:40.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. The uprising following the murder of George Floyd. Again,

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and the Republican Party is looking for an

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to do exactly what it is the South Korean

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 1>president had done. But we don't have a parliament that

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>is working in our favor. So why are we all

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.199
<v Speaker 1>paying attention to South Korea right now? Because much like

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Brexit was foreshadowing to the election of Donald Trump in

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, I believe that we are watching democracy crumble

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>around the world and be tested in ways that it

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>has not been tested in decades and decades and decades.

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is where we are. It is absolutely terrifying.

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:35.399
<v Speaker 1>But I encourage each and every person to understand these

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 1>laws and understand what powers the president has and what

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>powers he has been given by the Supreme Court of

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the United States. They believe, folks, that they are at

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>war already, as Jasmine Crockett, Representative Crockett said so adeptly.

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>They already believe that we are at war. They already

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>see any opposition as enemy forces. So if you believe

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>that you are at war, if you no longer see

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:16.199
<v Speaker 1>the opposition party right as your colleagues from across the

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:20.159
<v Speaker 1>aisle and you start to see them as the enemy within.

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Believe me that they are going to find a way

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to be able to suspend the Constitution to usher in autocracy,

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and I honestly don't know who is going to stop them.

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:44.479
<v Speaker 1>And this is where we are. So while Democrats again

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>want to have conversations about what Biden should or should

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 1>not have done, Republicans are getting ready to take power

0:21:56.160 --> 0:22:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and never let it go. And then what so, folks,

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we are in for it. And I encourage people to

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>be paying attention to what is happening around the world

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>right now. You know, America is very good at existing

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>inside of our own siloed bubble because we're so far

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>away from everyone else. But there have been bad actors

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>that have been taking their cues from Donald Trump, and

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 1>unlike in America, other people are managing to hold their

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Trump lights accountable, whereas America has just re elected ours.

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>And if that is not wild af I don't honestly

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>know what is that is it for me today? Dear

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>friends on wokf as always, power to the people and

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to all the people. Power woke and stay woke as fuck.
