They don't want our kids to be strategic, 29 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: they don't want them to have critical thought. And the 30 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: reality is is that they're using this as a dog whistle, right. 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: So that now with this bullshit stop woke act right 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: that death Scantists is ushering in in Florida is coming 33 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: off of the heels of what Greg Abbott's bitch ass 34 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: did in Texas, which is turnaround and turn your neighbors 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: right into some type of vigilantes, right that are on 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: the pursuit of anyone and anything that they don't like. 37 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: So with this bullshit stop woke act that death Scientists 38 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: unveiled this week, right in some type of campaign rally 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: where he's tossing out hats into the crowd, he says 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: that he wants parents right as what this is the 41 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: same fucking thing that Glenn Youngcan said in Virginia that 42 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: got him the governorship. He wants parents to have free choice. 43 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: He wants parents to have the liberty to decide what 44 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: it is that their children should and should not be taught. 45 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: And again, mind you that we are falling into the 46 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: trap because instead of us turning it around and saying, 47 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: what is it that the GOP is afraid of? What 48 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: are you afraid of? Ronda Santis? What are you afraid of? 49 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott? What are you afraid of? Glenn Junkin, What 50 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: are you afraid of? Why is whiteness so fucking fragile 51 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: that it cannot stand any test right of anything that 52 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: has been taught? Because here's the reality. They want us 53 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: to go back, as my friend was jahat Ali has 54 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: been saying on democracy ish to nineteen fifty three. This 55 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: is before Brown versus the Board of Education. This is 56 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: well before Rovie Wade, right, this is before there was 57 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: any major push, major momentum around civil rights. That's where 58 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: they want to go back to, right where they had 59 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: their whites only restaurants and their whites only country clubs, 60 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: and their whites only schools, and no one was pushing 61 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: for anything else. Right, And when I say no one, 62 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: I understand that the civil rights movement has been going 63 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: on for decades and decades, but there was not the 64 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: desire within the white community to want to band together 65 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: and link arms in order to make these things happen. 66 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: They want that back, and so by giving parents the 67 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: ability to now sue teachers, to bankrupt school districts, right, 68 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: that is their way of silencing what they know is 69 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: going to be the new American majority. I am telling 70 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: you that when it was announced probably at this point 71 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: ten years ago, that the United States was setting up 72 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: for a major demographic shift, and some people debate on 73 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: the decade that that's going to happen. Is it twenty thirty, 74 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: is it twenty forty, is it twenty fifty. But the 75 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: fact is it is happening right now, and their way 76 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: to preserve white supremacy, to preserve white centric everything, is 77 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: to stamp it out before it even blossoms, before it 78 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: even grows. You know, just this week too, you had 79 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: debate on the House floor, and you know, I laugh, 80 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: because if I don't, I will scream, and if I 81 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: don't scream, then I will cry. But you look at 82 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: the debate that was on the floor about islamophobic legislation 83 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: right much in the same way that at the height 84 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: of a COVID, which, by the way, I will get 85 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: to in a bit, because it seems as if guess 86 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: who's in the midst of a fourth wave the United States? 87 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Legislation was put together to stop Asian hate, which was 88 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: once again promoted created by the GOP. But do you 89 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: see Democrats holding them accountable for that? Do you see 90 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: them naming it? Because you see the way that we 91 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: change things, the way that we get accountability and responsibility 92 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: is by naming what is right and who is to blame. 93 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: So we get this stop Asian hate legislation. And now 94 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, because she is being fucking harassed and 95 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: terrorized by her own goddamn colleagues in Congress, puts together 96 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: and act to recognize that there is a rise in Islamophobia. 97 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: But when you listen to these Republicans on the floor, 98 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: they're like, well, if we're gonna, you know, stop zamophobia, 99 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: then I guess we have to stop our homophobia and 100 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: our transphobia and all these things. Because you see to 101 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: these people, to these people, their idea of liberty and 102 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: freedom is the freedom to be able to discriminate against 103 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: whoever they want, whenever they want, without any responsibility or accountability, 104 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: just to be able right to say I don't like you. 105 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: Not only do I not like you, I hate you. 106 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to hire you. I don't have to 107 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: respect you, and face absolutely no consequences whatsoever. That's what 108 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: they want, and that is what this country looked like 109 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: prior to the Civil Rights Act. That you see that 110 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: white people could gather right in their racist fueled, rage 111 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: fueled mobs, lynch black folks, beat black folks, terrorize black folks, right, 112 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: And who are you, as a black person, who are 113 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: you going to report to the fucking sheriff? Right, You're 114 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: going to law enforcement that was already marching down your 115 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: street with their hoods on. You're gonna sue somebody, right, 116 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna laugh you out of the police department. They're 117 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: gonna laugh you out of the court. And now we 118 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: have just the appearance right of equity. But we know 119 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: that that is nothing more than a facade. We know 120 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: that you don't even really have to get close to 121 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: peel back the layer of bullshit right to know who 122 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: is bought and sold and why a Mitch McConnell and 123 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: a Donald Trump were able to push forward over three 124 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: hundred federal judges. You know, the other day I mentioned 125 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: on the show, I see a tweet that says, oh 126 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: my god, Joe Biden appointed ten federal judges this year. 127 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Ten federal judges this year. That's less than one a month. 128 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: This is what the fuck you're celebrating. Donald Trump was 129 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: appointing federal judges like seven a week in order to 130 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: keep pace right with what Mitch McConnell wants to do. 131 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Was Mitch McConnell putting up policy for the American people. Know, 132 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: he was changing the judicial landscape because he knows that 133 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: that is the only place in this country where people 134 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: get their rights. It doesn't come through Congress. It comes 135 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: through the courts. And so if you can own the courts, 136 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: then you can own the country and you can rewrite 137 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: the constitution. You know, right now, everybody wants to, you know, 138 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: laugh off what Ron death Santis is doing in Florida, 139 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it is not a laughing matter. 140 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: And everybody needs to pay a fucking attention because my opinion, 141 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to keep his grift going about 142 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and whether or not he's going to run, 143 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: he's going to keep that going because the idea of 144 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: him potentially running is filling up his coffers. Right. He's 145 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: able to fundraise right and make money off of the 146 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: idea the perception that he may run in twenty twenty four. 147 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: But what is going to turn out, right is that 148 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: he is not going to be on the ballot. That 149 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: is going to be a wide open field of who 150 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: can be more right wing, who can be the most 151 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: radical right that we are going to see a presidential 152 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: election like we have never seen. And frankly, if this 153 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: democratically controlled Congress does not get their shit together around 154 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: voting rights, which I have ye of little hope that 155 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: that is actually going to happen because we are coming 156 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: up on a year of the Biden administration and there 157 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: has been no serious push to voting rights. Oh now 158 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: they want to do it because guess what, Joe Mansion 159 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: once again blew up back better. They had set their 160 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: deadline for Christmas, and guess what, it ain't happening. So 161 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: they're pulling the plug on it and saying, oh no, 162 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: we're going to make a pivot. Now, you should have 163 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: never pivoted off of voting rights, because frankly, if you're 164 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: not securing our democracy, then nothing else that you're doing 165 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: fucking matters. So here we are where. I believe that 166 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two midterm elections are going to be 167 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: the most consequential elections of our lifetime, and I believe 168 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: that they are going to set forth America into some 169 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: of the darkest ages that we have ever seen. I've 170 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: been in conversation with friends and colleagues right that I 171 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: really respect, in the political space, in the law space, 172 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: in the social justice space, and everybody is terrified about 173 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Everyone believes that twenty twenty two is 174 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: going to be that year that when we look back 175 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: on it, if we even have an opportunity to look 176 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: back on it, the questions that young people will be 177 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: asking is why didn't anyone do anything? How was it 178 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: so obvious that America was moving head first into fascism, 179 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: head first into the recreation, the reclamation project right of 180 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: white supremacy, and you all were digging around with the 181 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: legislation that doesn't actually matter. And I believe that that 182 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: is going to be the epitaph of our democracy. And 183 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,239 Speaker 1: I gotta say that when I look at these politicians 184 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: right now in the Republican Party that are vying to 185 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: be the biggest villain. Right, you look at death Santis, 186 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: you look at Abbot, you look at Junkin, right, Yunkin 187 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: is the more laid back. Hey, you know, I'm wearing 188 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: a vest and so I'm the softer Trump. But Trump 189 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: no less. Death Santis is going hard balls to the wall. Right, 190 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: He's like, no, we are. I'm going to put forth 191 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: every type of legislation that is possible to make it 192 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: so black and brown people in my state have no voice, 193 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: that black and brown people in my state should fear 194 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: leaving their homes. Right, think about this for a minute. 195 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: A couple of things that Rhonda Santist has been doing. 196 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: So First, you have his desire to open up Florida. Right, 197 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: there's no COVID here. Florida is a COVID playground. I 198 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: don't know how many people have died at this point 199 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: in Florida, but it's a fucking lot from COVID. So 200 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: he was reckless as fuck with that, and why I 201 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: call him death death Santist is for that reason why, 202 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: once again there is no class action lawsuit against these criminal, 203 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: ass negligent, homicidal governors in this country. I do not know. 204 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: I am not a lawyer, but my god, I believe 205 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: that there is a case to be made, and I 206 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: don't know why it's not happening. Were are the most 207 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: litigious fucking country in the world, and yet there are 208 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: no cases here for COVID depth. I honestly, I do 209 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: not understand it. So he starts off with open up Florida. 210 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: There's no COVID here, Tens of thousands of people in 211 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Florida are dying. Then he turns around right and he 212 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: has his attack on critical brace theory. But the most 213 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: important thing that everyone kind of shrugged off, and it 214 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: really was not major, major news, and it should be, 215 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: is when Rhonda santiss but a couple of months ago, 216 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: said that he wanted to have his own community armed 217 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: forces that only reported to him and were not subject 218 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to the enforcement or oversight of the federal government, namely 219 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: the president of the United States. I want everybody to 220 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: think about this, because every time that we want to shrug, that, 221 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: we want to laugh off, that we want to ignore 222 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: the things that the radical right is saying out loud, 223 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: right much in the same way that they planned that 224 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: entire insurrection, the entire fucking coup out loud on podcasts, 225 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: on radio, on Fox News, on social media platforms, and 226 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: the world shrugged. Donald Trump said one six was going 227 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: to be wild. Was there any investigation those motherfuckers were 228 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: organizing in plane sight? On Facebook, on Twitter, on TikTok 229 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: FBI did nothing, CIA did nothing, Pentagon did nothing because 230 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: it was white folks, and all white people don't do 231 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: any harm. Right, We're not going to police our own right. 232 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: So once again, here is Rond Santis saying the quiet 233 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: part out loud that he, as a governor of a 234 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: very large state, wants to put together his own militia 235 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: that he directs and that only reports to him. So 236 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: imagine this site. Let's let's paint the picture right now, 237 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: Ronda Santis decides that he wants to impart martial law 238 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: before any election, before the upcoming twenty twenty two election, 239 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: before the presidential election, if he wins re election for governor, 240 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: right and doesn't run for president, which I think he 241 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: absolutely is, that he decides to invoke martial law. He 242 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: disseminates his own guards. Right, the President of the United States, 243 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: who is Biden, says what is happening in Florida is 244 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: on some hot shit, decides that he's going to bring 245 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: in now the National Guard, the army, whomever. And so 246 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, ron de Santis has fashioned 247 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: himself to be what Robert E. Lee and then going 248 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: up against Biden. And this is how a civil war 249 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: breaks out, because you have both sides believing that they 250 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: are patriots doing the duty that they have been called 251 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: to do. And while he was having these conversations, and 252 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: we could have checked his hot shit years in advance, 253 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: we don't because we think that it's a joke. But 254 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you that Rhndes Santis creates this militia. What 255 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: is to say that the rest of red state governors 256 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: don't decide to do the same thing. What's to say, folks, 257 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: if you really want me to scare the shit out 258 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: of you on this good Friday, what's to say that 259 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: they're not all organizing to do that very same thing? 260 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: Right the fuck now that they are together collaborating, all 261 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: of these red state governments right to create their own 262 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: personal militias that only are directed by them for them 263 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: at their will, and that in their fucking crazy world, 264 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is still there president, and so he is 265 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: the one overarching and calling the shots. This is the 266 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: type of scenario that keeps me up at night because 267 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: what I used to think was so far fetched and 268 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: would never happen could never happen. Everything that I thought 269 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: could would and never happen have all transpired over the 270 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Think about that for a minute. 271 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: Before COVID nineteen hit our shores, did you ever think 272 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: that you would be living through a global health pandemic? 273 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States? 274 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: Did you ever think that an outright racist, misogynous piece 275 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: of shit who joked and was recorded about grabbing a 276 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: woman by the pussy would become president of the United States. 277 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: Did you ever think that you would see your Capitol 278 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: building up in smoke and thousands of peace people charging 279 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: at Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police that are trying 280 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: to hold their ground and secure our Capitol building. Did 281 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: you ever think that you would see that in your lifetime. 282 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: So everything, folks, including the massive climate events that keep 283 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: occurring every couple of fucking weeks now from the historic 284 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: fires to the historic tornadoes, to the historic floods, to 285 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: the historic droughts. Did you ever think that you would 286 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: be seeing these events happen? This is shit that has 287 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: happened in the last two years. So I want us 288 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: to get out of the practice of saying, oh, that's impossible, 289 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Oh that could never happen, because what it does is 290 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: that it blocks us from being able to create a 291 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: strategy to combat what we know could potentially be coming 292 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: down the pike because we think that it's so unbelievable 293 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: that we don't create a plan around it, because we 294 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: don't think that it's worth it. And see, that's where 295 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: Democrats have themselves right now, is that they never imagined 296 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: in their wildest dreams that one of the two political 297 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: parties in these United States would turn into a right 298 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: wing white supremacist cult. That they never could have foreseen 299 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: that a Lauren Bobert or a Marjorie Taylor Green or 300 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: a Matt Gates would be in Congress, and they are, 301 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: and they won their elections outright. That we wanted to 302 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: believe that those people that I just named, and there 303 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: are so many more were the fringes of the Republican Party, 304 00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: but they would never become the mainstream. But because of 305 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy and his amba like physique with absolutely no 306 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: spine and no brain, he has allowed these people that 307 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: we thought were jokes and we thought were on the 308 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: fringe to now be mainlined and mainstreamed into political culture. Oh. 309 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: I never thought that we would have an entire news channel, 310 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: an entire station, an entire network that was dedicated to 311 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: upholding and spreading mass hysteria, hate, fear, and lies. Right, 312 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: So everything that we think can't happen has happened and 313 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: is happening. And where Democrats find themselves is still looking 314 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: up in wonder and amazement that these things are transpiring. 315 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: And so they are so caught off guard, so knocked 316 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: off their game because they're still functioning as if we 317 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: have a functional two party system, that these are people 318 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: that are operating under the rule of law, and yet 319 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: they are showing us every single day, in every single moment, 320 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: that they could give a fuck about the constitution. Jamie Raskin, 321 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: Congressman Jamie Raskin was on the floor of the House 322 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: and he is showing, I mean, I laugh, folks, so 323 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: that I don't cry. Jamie Raskin was on the floor 324 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: this week showing a very clear tweet and not a tweet, 325 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: excuse me, a text message one of the many treasure 326 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: troves of Mark Meadows text messages leading up to one 327 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: six on one six and then following we again. I 328 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: don't know why they're not revealing to the public who 329 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: these lawmakers were, because I'm certain that they know. But 330 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: one of them said, why don't we just gather up 331 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: our red state Republicans and send these electors and just 332 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: decertified the election and replaced them all with Republicans and 333 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: Trumpers and let this ship go to the Supreme Court. 334 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: So what a sitting GOP lawmaker text to Mark Meadows. 335 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: This was not thought up on a whim. No, because 336 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: what are we seeing with the subpoena now of the 337 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: mastermind behind the what was it thirty eight slides? Right? 338 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: The coup document? The architect of the coup, Phil Waldron, 339 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: is now being subpoena by the Ones six Commission. But 340 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: I want to bring something else up. As I was 341 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: watching MSNBC yesterday, our friend and friend of the show, 342 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: Ellie Mistol, brought up a really good point on ari 343 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Melbourne Show. He said, why is it that it is 344 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: the one six Commission, which only has oversight authority doing 345 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: this deep dive in investigation on earthing all of this 346 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: shit with regard to who was involved in the one 347 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: sixth Direction insurrection, who was the mastermind behind it and 348 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: getting to the bottom of it, And the FBI and 349 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice are asleep at the fucking wheel. 350 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: I tell you, every single day, I want to put 351 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: Merritt Garland on a fucking milk carton because I don't 352 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: know what he's doing. But the other thing that Ellie 353 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: Mistill said is that Biden could have chosen anybody else 354 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 1: to run the Department of Justice if he actually wanted 355 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: to hold the prior administration accountable and safeguard our democracy. 356 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: And instead he chose some milktoast fucking institutionalist that has 357 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: no grit, has no bite, and clearly has no sense 358 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: of urgency. And I'm like, does he listen to any shows, 359 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: does he watch anything, does he read anything? You have 360 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: the power to make a significant mark, to signal to 361 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: every Trumper, to every gooper that if you lay down 362 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: with dogs, you're gonna get up with fleas and we're 363 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: gonna wash you out. And he's not doing that, And 364 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: everybody who is an attorney who has worked in or 365 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: around the DOJ has been telling me for basically an 366 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: entire year, Oh, don't worry, it's okay that we don't 367 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: hear anything about what the Department of Justice is doing. 368 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you now, TikTok, TikTok, your time has 369 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: run the fuck out. It does matter that the public 370 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: knows because the public has lost faith in the Department 371 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: of Justice. The public is losing faith in all of 372 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: our institutions. The public is losing faith in Joe Biden. 373 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: And you can look at his poll numbers, and you 374 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: know that I don't believe in polls, but I'm telling 375 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: you that the numbers that are being reflected right now 376 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: are exactly how I feel. I think that what they 377 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: have been doing is fucking lackluster. I think that there 378 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: their attention is way off course. And everybody wants to 379 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: say to me, well, give them time. They're dealing with 380 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot. They knew exactly what the fuck they were 381 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,479 Speaker 1: getting into when they decided to run for office. They 382 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: knew exactly the mess that Trump had created, So nobody 383 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: should have been caught off guard. They should have just 384 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: been receiving refined details and descriptions so that they knew 385 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: how they were going to attack. Except this administration did 386 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: not enter into the White House in attack mode. And 387 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: I continue to say it. I didn't need a comforter 388 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: in chief. I didn't need a fucking hug. I need 389 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: a warrior. I need somebody that realizes that we are 390 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: under attack, and whether or not actual guns are being 391 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: used right now doesn't matter, because they created a goddamn 392 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: war room around the insurrection. Where is our war room 393 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: in order to get our democracy back? Who is in 394 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: charge of that? This is where my anger and rage 395 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: reaches a fever pitch, is that I see these subpoenas, 396 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: I see the votes to hold Mark Meadows in criminal content. 397 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: I see all of these things, and do you know 398 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: what else I see? I see the fucking calendar, and 399 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: I realize how much time we have allowed to transpire, 400 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: and I cannot help but get even more angry because 401 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: I know, good, god damn well that if the insurrection 402 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: had been led by black people, been led by brown people, 403 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: been led by any other group, those people and every 404 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: single person that was even in remote communication sent a 405 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: text emoji to the Chief of Staff would have been 406 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: in jail by now. We would have been watching trials 407 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: this entire year. And I'm so sick and tired of 408 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: people saying, oh, well, it takes time, because it seems 409 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: to me that justice only takes time when it is 410 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: white people that are on trial. They always want to 411 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: tell that we need to wait. I am watching criminality 412 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: run a mock over this country and still being told, 413 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: oh no, no, it's coming, justice is coming. When let 414 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: me not hold my breath before I pass out. It's 415 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: so troubling because when I think about how much faith 416 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: I am losing, and I am a person that has 417 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: dedicated my life and my work to this, I think 418 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: about people that were snapped into action following the election 419 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, that they woke up right over the 420 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: course of that four year hell administration that we were 421 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: living in, that people woke up. People who had long 422 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: time said, oh, politics is not my thing. Oh I 423 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 1: don't like politics, it's ikey. They woke the fuck up 424 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: because we were so used to our government and our 425 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: democracy just running like a well oiled machine, something that 426 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: we didn't really have to pay attention to. It's just 427 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: something that's over there. But I'm really living my life 428 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: over here, and now we are seeing the interconnectedness of 429 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: those and just how government can affect your life for 430 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: good or for worse. But now those very same people 431 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: that woke up, those very same people that did their 432 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: due diligence to get a new administration in so that 433 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: they could rest, are looking around and they're saying, what 434 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: the fuck is happening here? Who did we put in charge? 435 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Because all we're being told is I can't, right, that's 436 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: all Congress continues to come back and say to us. 437 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: That's all the Senate clearly is conveying to the American people, 438 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: Oh I can't. We can't get it done because we 439 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: have such a slim mark virgin that two people who 440 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: were not voted in by the majority of Americans, that 441 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: are in states that don't really fucking matter. And yeah, 442 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: I said it because I'm pissed are the ones that 443 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: get to dictate the terms of whether or not our 444 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: democracy survives, whether or not we're going to keep pace 445 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: with other industrialized nations by instituting policies that people have had. 446 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: Nations have had for decades, like paid parental leave, universal PreK. 447 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what the fuck you know? I continue to 448 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: be so extremely frustrated, and I'm tired of being told 449 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: to wait and that somewhere, somehow, some light is going 450 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: to be flicked on and then everyone is going to 451 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: spring into action. And what I'm saying is that these people, 452 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: they never stopped planning post one six. That is why 453 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: we have over four hundred voter suppression laws that are 454 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: in place. That is why we are seeing the pretzeled 455 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: gerrymandering happening across states. They never let their foot off 456 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: the guests. The GOP is running shit, and yet they're 457 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: not in control of the White House or in control 458 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: of Congress, but somehow they're in control of the country. 459 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: How does that make sense? And the only thing that 460 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: we know to be true is that it's going to 461 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: get progressively worse because our votes, our voices are not 462 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: going to matter. How is it that we are continuing 463 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: and we've been seeing this. When was the last time 464 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: that a Republican who won the White House won the 465 00:33:52,800 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: popular vote? Right, I can't tell you, but that should 466 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: have been our first signal that the electoral College is 467 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: a racist, bullshit tool that should have been dismantled a 468 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: long time ago. One vote, one voice, the person with 469 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: the most votes wins, period. But that's not what we're doing. 470 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: And Republicans know that, and they are making it worse. 471 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: And each and everything right that they are picking up 472 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: right now to continue stoking the flames under their culture 473 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: war is turning into a massive fucking bonfire. And Democrats 474 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: are sitting with their hands in their laps, staring up 475 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: at the sky. When are they going to wake the 476 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: fuck up? And my fear, this is my honest fear, 477 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: is that it is going to take losing our democracy 478 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: and then having to fight tooth and nail over decades 479 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: to even get some semblance of it back. If ever, 480 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: they have been at war, the GOP, the New White 481 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: Supremacist Party, they have been at war. They started slowly 482 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: with this slow moving coup with the Tea Party, and 483 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: then it moved and it grew and it got roots 484 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: and it became Trumpism and now it is strangling the 485 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 1: rest of the country. And we're still wondering whether or not. Oh, 486 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what's in people's hearts. Oh I can't 487 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: really say this because I need to stay neutral. It's 488 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I just I don't know how 489 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: much more evidence is needed. I don't know how much 490 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: more information you need to have in front of you, 491 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, Chris Ray, in order to do your fucking jobs. 492 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: You know, maybe there needs to be a directive. Maybe 493 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should have an emergency press 494 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: conference from the Oval Office. Our democracy is under attack. 495 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: We took an oath to protect this country from threats 496 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: that are foreign and domestic, and right now this country 497 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: is under attack from the inside out. We are raising 498 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: the alarm and we will do everything within our power 499 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: to stop this threat. That's what I want to see, 500 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: That's what I want to hear. Donald Trump was going 501 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: after his enemies because he did not like them. Why 502 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: aren't we going back? Why aren't we doing the same 503 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: thing with our enemies that are literally threatening our lives? 504 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: Are we waiting for there to be a successful assassination 505 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: attempt on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on Congresswoman Alexandrio Cassio Cortez. 506 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 1: Are we waiting for there to be successful to then 507 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: turn around and realize that the attack was coming from 508 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: inside the fucking house. I sure as hell hope not. 509 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 1: But that's the direction that all of this is headed. 510 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: In I remember at the beginning of the Trump administration 511 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: saying on this very show on a different network that 512 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: things are going to get bloodier before they get better. 513 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: This the twenty twenty election, this changing of the guard 514 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: was just a pause and I don't even think it 515 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: was a pause on their attempts to cripple, destroy, decimate 516 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: our democracy and our civil rights. They are coming for it, 517 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: whether doing it inside of the law or outside of 518 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: the law. They are signaling that they don't care. They 519 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: just want to get it done. And then once they're 520 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: back in power, once they have the gavels, everyone needs 521 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: to be on high fucking alert because they told you 522 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: what they were going to do. They have been saying 523 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: who they are. You want to see Marjorie Taylor Green 524 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: as the chairperson of the Oversight Committee. You want to 525 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: see Lauren Bobert like running any type of committee. You 526 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: want to see the life of Matt Gates or Lindsey 527 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: Graham or any of these people holding gavels. No, because 528 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,959 Speaker 1: if you thought that the stories around McCarthyism right back 529 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: in the nineteen fifties, if you thought that the Red 530 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 1: Scare in the United States was bad, you ain't seen 531 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: nothing yet you ain't seen nothing yet, and I'm wondering 532 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: why we're the only ones that see it, and yet 533 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: the people with the power to do anything about it 534 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: are acting like everything is normal. Look. I get the 535 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: idea of not wanting to alarm people when there is 536 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: nothing to be alarmed about. But folks, we're at Defcon 537 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 1: level fucking one, and in this bit, I don't even 538 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: know what is the order. Is it one to five, 539 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: is it five to one? I have no idea, But 540 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: whatever the major threat is, whatever the major threat level is, 541 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: we are at I had red red red red. Right now, 542 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: with the last few minutes left, I want to turn 543 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: your attention to omicron and to what has been coming 544 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: out of places like New York. Folks, we are in 545 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:31,720 Speaker 1: for some major, major surges heading into this holiday season 546 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: right now. I talked about this yesterday. More and more 547 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: Broadway shows are being canceled New York. Let me tell 548 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: you this, This blew my mind. New cases in New York, 549 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 1: the state of New York, have hit over eighteen thousand 550 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: in one day, over eighteen thousand new cases of COVID nineteen, 551 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: with omicron as the leading variant. In one day, there 552 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: were eighty three hundred cases reported in New York City 553 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: in one day. We are watching athletes and celebrities and 554 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: shows and universities going back to virtual and going back 555 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: into their pods. This is a warning shot. As we 556 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: are headed into the holidays to gather. There are breakthrough 557 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,399 Speaker 1: cases that are happening left and right, and folks are 558 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: telling you if you have not been boosted, I don't 559 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: know what the fuck you were waiting for. If you 560 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: were choosing to gather with your family and friends during 561 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: this upcoming holiday, please have your families get tested before 562 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: you gather. It does not matter if everyone is vaccinated. 563 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: If everyone is not vaccinated and boosted and is not 564 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: getting tested to make sure that when you are gathering 565 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: inside that all is safe, then we're not taking all 566 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: of the proper precautions. The good thing that we have 567 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: on our side right now is that we have vaccines 568 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: and we have boosters. But each and every day that 569 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: goes by, we are learning more and more about this 570 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: new variant. We are learning that it is spreading faster 571 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 1: and faster. As it is right now, hospitalizations are not 572 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,280 Speaker 1: high right now. People are not dying in the way 573 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: that they did with Alpha and delta, but that was 574 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: pre vaccine. It does not mean that if this takes 575 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: over which it is taking over right now, this new 576 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: variant is taking over delta. That means that what our 577 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,879 Speaker 1: friend doctor Jonathan Maxwell has been telling us that then 578 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: more virus is in the air, which then means that 579 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 1: when more virus is in the air, it is likely 580 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: to mutate again and again and again, because what the 581 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 1: virus is trying to do is find a way around 582 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: the vaccines, find a way around the boosters, and if 583 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: we get to a variant that spreads faster and then 584 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: is more lethal, we are fucked. So all of the 585 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: precautions that we had in place in twenty twenty need 586 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: to be put back in place. Wearing masks, inside, social distancing, 587 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: doing as much as possible outside, going back into your 588 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: smaller pod groups. That is what needs to happen. But 589 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: of course, instead of science leading, we are at a 590 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: place We're still twenty five percent of the population is 591 00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: not vaccinated. We are still at a place where we 592 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: are going to see more and more depths. I know 593 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty two it is very likely that 594 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 1: we will surpass a million deaths from COVID because we 595 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: were already at over eight hundred thousand, which is more 596 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: than any other country in the world. We cannot take 597 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: what is happening, whether in our politics, in our health, 598 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: in this country, on this planet lightly. As we get 599 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: ready to change the calendar year, we need to raise 600 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: our vigilance tenfold. It is the only thing that is 601 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: going to keep us safe. Please, dear friends, do not 602 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: let your guard down. It is more important than ever 603 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: than ever for us to be paying attention. That is 604 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: it for me today. Here folks on woke app as always, 605 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: power to the people and to all the people. Power. 606 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: Get woke and stay woke as fuck, and stay safe 607 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: as fuck. See you next week.
