WEBVTT - Well of Despair 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.640 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to WIKA f Daily with 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:20.920 me your girl, Danielle Moody recording live ish from San Francisco. Folks, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.200 I got to tell you that every time that I 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.400 see Ron death Santus's name in the news, I want 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:33.440 to fucking scream. But his latest attempt at political performance 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:41.760 and provocation on his quest to quell any conversation lessons 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.000 anything that has to do with critical race theory, which, 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.920 minds you, they already voted in Florida to disallow critical 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.720 race theory, and then, let me remind you, remind you, 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:57.360 it's not being taught anywhere, that isn't at the graduate 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.880 and law school fucking level. So every single time that 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:07.040 you see or hear of a right wing radical politician 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.880 wanting to use wokeness right whatever it is that they 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.880 believe that to be, which is essentially any mention of 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.280 people of color, any mention of black people, of Latin 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.240 X people of Asian Pacific Islanders, of Muslims, of anyone 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.760 that is not white, that is not straight, that is 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.520 that male. This is what they do not want and 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.720 the question that we all should be asking instead of 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:37.240 falling into this well of despair, this well of lies 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.000 around critical race theory and his what what the fuck 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.039 did he call it? Stop woke act? Yes, you're right, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.320 you should stop. You should stop being conscious, you should 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.240 stop being aware. You should just continue to bury your 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.240 head in the sand like a fucking Ostrich, right like, 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.080 because that is what Republicans want you to do. They 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.600 don't want you to question. They don't want you to 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.200 be thoughtful. They don't want our kids to be strategic, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.120 they don't want them to have critical thought. And the 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.800 reality is is that they're using this as a dog whistle, right. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.560 So that now with this bullshit stop woke act right 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.880 that death Scantists is ushering in in Florida is coming 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.120 off of the heels of what Greg Abbott's bitch ass 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.080 did in Texas, which is turnaround and turn your neighbors 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:33.959 right into some type of vigilantes, right that are on 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.680 the pursuit of anyone and anything that they don't like. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.399 So with this bullshit stop woke act that death Scientists 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.120 unveiled this week, right in some type of campaign rally 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.960 where he's tossing out hats into the crowd, he says 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.720 that he wants parents right as what this is the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.360 same fucking thing that Glenn Youngcan said in Virginia that 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.160 got him the governorship. He wants parents to have free choice. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.200 He wants parents to have the liberty to decide what 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.959 it is that their children should and should not be taught. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.760 And again, mind you that we are falling into the 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.560 trap because instead of us turning it around and saying, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.640 what is it that the GOP is afraid of? What 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.079 are you afraid of? Ronda Santis? What are you afraid of? 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.680 Greg Abbott? What are you afraid of? Glenn Junkin, What 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:33.760 are you afraid of? Why is whiteness so fucking fragile 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.440 that it cannot stand any test right of anything that 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.760 has been taught? Because here's the reality. They want us 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.920 to go back, as my friend was jahat Ali has 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.080 been saying on democracy ish to nineteen fifty three. This 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.360 is before Brown versus the Board of Education. This is 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.240 well before Rovie Wade, right, this is before there was 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:08.080 any major push, major momentum around civil rights. That's where 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.400 they want to go back to, right where they had 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.160 their whites only restaurants and their whites only country clubs, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.880 and their whites only schools, and no one was pushing 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.960 for anything else. Right, And when I say no one, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.760 I understand that the civil rights movement has been going 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.080 on for decades and decades, but there was not the 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:38.919 desire within the white community to want to band together 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.120 and link arms in order to make these things happen. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:48.280 They want that back, and so by giving parents the 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:53.640 ability to now sue teachers, to bankrupt school districts, right, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.960 that is their way of silencing what they know is 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.200 going to be the new American majority. I am telling 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.880 you that when it was announced probably at this point 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.240 ten years ago, that the United States was setting up 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.000 for a major demographic shift, and some people debate on 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.920 the decade that that's going to happen. Is it twenty thirty, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.480 is it twenty forty, is it twenty fifty. But the 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.200 fact is it is happening right now, and their way 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:29.760 to preserve white supremacy, to preserve white centric everything, is 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.680 to stamp it out before it even blossoms, before it 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.440 even grows. You know, just this week too, you had 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.719 debate on the House floor, and you know, I laugh, 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.040 because if I don't, I will scream, and if I 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.440 don't scream, then I will cry. But you look at 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:56.160 the debate that was on the floor about islamophobic legislation 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.599 right much in the same way that at the height 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.680 of a COVID, which, by the way, I will get 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.600 to in a bit, because it seems as if guess 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.760 who's in the midst of a fourth wave the United States? 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.960 Legislation was put together to stop Asian hate, which was 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.599 once again promoted created by the GOP. But do you 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.520 see Democrats holding them accountable for that? Do you see 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.279 them naming it? Because you see the way that we 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.680 change things, the way that we get accountability and responsibility 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.960 is by naming what is right and who is to blame. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.679 So we get this stop Asian hate legislation. And now 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.000 Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, because she is being fucking harassed and 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:50.080 terrorized by her own goddamn colleagues in Congress, puts together 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:56.880 and act to recognize that there is a rise in Islamophobia. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.800 But when you listen to these Republicans on the floor, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.240 they're like, well, if we're gonna, you know, stop zamophobia, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.640 then I guess we have to stop our homophobia and 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.960 our transphobia and all these things. Because you see to 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:15.920 these people, to these people, their idea of liberty and 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.960 freedom is the freedom to be able to discriminate against 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:28.920 whoever they want, whenever they want, without any responsibility or accountability, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.360 just to be able right to say I don't like you. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.320 Not only do I not like you, I hate you. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.720 I don't want to hire you. I don't have to 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:43.280 respect you, and face absolutely no consequences whatsoever. That's what 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.080 they want, and that is what this country looked like 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.000 prior to the Civil Rights Act. That you see that 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:56.280 white people could gather right in their racist fueled, rage 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:02.520 fueled mobs, lynch black folks, beat black folks, terrorize black folks, right, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.360 And who are you, as a black person, who are 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.240 you going to report to the fucking sheriff? Right, You're 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.240 going to law enforcement that was already marching down your 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.080 street with their hoods on. You're gonna sue somebody, right, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.920 They're gonna laugh you out of the police department. They're 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.120 gonna laugh you out of the court. And now we 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.240 have just the appearance right of equity. But we know 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.360 that that is nothing more than a facade. We know 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.640 that you don't even really have to get close to 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.440 peel back the layer of bullshit right to know who 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.720 is bought and sold and why a Mitch McConnell and 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760 a Donald Trump were able to push forward over three 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.360 hundred federal judges. You know, the other day I mentioned 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.920 on the show, I see a tweet that says, oh 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.880 my god, Joe Biden appointed ten federal judges this year. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.160 Ten federal judges this year. That's less than one a month. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.160 This is what the fuck you're celebrating. Donald Trump was 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:08.200 appointing federal judges like seven a week in order to 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.120 keep pace right with what Mitch McConnell wants to do. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.080 Was Mitch McConnell putting up policy for the American people. Know, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.559 he was changing the judicial landscape because he knows that 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.559 that is the only place in this country where people 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:26.439 get their rights. It doesn't come through Congress. It comes 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.320 through the courts. And so if you can own the courts, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.920 then you can own the country and you can rewrite 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:38.880 the constitution. You know, right now, everybody wants to, you know, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.160 laugh off what Ron death Santis is doing in Florida, 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.439 and I'm telling you it is not a laughing matter. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:51.040 And everybody needs to pay a fucking attention because my opinion, 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.959 Donald Trump is going to keep his grift going about 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.000 twenty twenty four, and whether or not he's going to run, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.720 he's going to keep that going because the idea of 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.319 him potentially running is filling up his coffers. Right. He's 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:11.160 able to fundraise right and make money off of the 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.360 idea the perception that he may run in twenty twenty four. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.800 But what is going to turn out, right is that 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.200 he is not going to be on the ballot. That 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.079 is going to be a wide open field of who 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.720 can be more right wing, who can be the most 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:32.280 radical right that we are going to see a presidential 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:37.120 election like we have never seen. And frankly, if this 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:42.160 democratically controlled Congress does not get their shit together around 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.000 voting rights, which I have ye of little hope that 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.240 that is actually going to happen because we are coming 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.640 up on a year of the Biden administration and there 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.199 has been no serious push to voting rights. Oh now 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.439 they want to do it because guess what, Joe Mansion 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:03.000 once again blew up back better. They had set their 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.600 deadline for Christmas, and guess what, it ain't happening. So 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.480 they're pulling the plug on it and saying, oh no, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.960 we're going to make a pivot. Now, you should have 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.240 never pivoted off of voting rights, because frankly, if you're 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.160 not securing our democracy, then nothing else that you're doing 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:24.640 fucking matters. So here we are where. I believe that 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.760 the twenty twenty two midterm elections are going to be 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.160 the most consequential elections of our lifetime, and I believe 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.640 that they are going to set forth America into some 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.360 of the darkest ages that we have ever seen. I've 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.760 been in conversation with friends and colleagues right that I 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.440 really respect, in the political space, in the law space, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.880 in the social justice space, and everybody is terrified about 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:54.400 twenty twenty two. Everyone believes that twenty twenty two is 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.680 going to be that year that when we look back 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.920 on it, if we even have an opportunity to look 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.640 back on it, the questions that young people will be 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.400 asking is why didn't anyone do anything? How was it 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.640 so obvious that America was moving head first into fascism, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.719 head first into the recreation, the reclamation project right of 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:23.240 white supremacy, and you all were digging around with the 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.480 legislation that doesn't actually matter. And I believe that that 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:34.280 is going to be the epitaph of our democracy. And 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:39.239 I gotta say that when I look at these politicians 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.040 right now in the Republican Party that are vying to 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:46.559 be the biggest villain. Right, you look at death Santis, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.400 you look at Abbot, you look at Junkin, right, Yunkin 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.480 is the more laid back. Hey, you know, I'm wearing 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.360 a vest and so I'm the softer Trump. But Trump 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:04.400 no less. Death Santis is going hard balls to the wall. Right, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.320 He's like, no, we are. I'm going to put forth 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.760 every type of legislation that is possible to make it 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.400 so black and brown people in my state have no voice, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.800 that black and brown people in my state should fear 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:26.480 leaving their homes. Right, think about this for a minute. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.160 A couple of things that Rhonda Santist has been doing. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:40.400 So First, you have his desire to open up Florida. Right, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:46.160 there's no COVID here. Florida is a COVID playground. I 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.760 don't know how many people have died at this point 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.959 in Florida, but it's a fucking lot from COVID. So 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.480 he was reckless as fuck with that, and why I 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.760 call him death death Santist is for that reason why, 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.400 once again there is no class action lawsuit against these criminal, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:10.120 ass negligent, homicidal governors in this country. I do not know. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.000 I am not a lawyer, but my god, I believe 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.040 that there is a case to be made, and I 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.839 don't know why it's not happening. Were are the most 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.800 litigious fucking country in the world, and yet there are 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.640 no cases here for COVID depth. I honestly, I do 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:30.680 not understand it. So he starts off with open up Florida. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.920 There's no COVID here, Tens of thousands of people in 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:38.800 Florida are dying. Then he turns around right and he 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:44.000 has his attack on critical brace theory. But the most 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.640 important thing that everyone kind of shrugged off, and it 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.400 really was not major, major news, and it should be, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.160 is when Rhonda santiss but a couple of months ago, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:06.280 said that he wanted to have his own community armed 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:11.960 forces that only reported to him and were not subject 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.400 to the enforcement or oversight of the federal government, namely 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.480 the president of the United States. I want everybody to 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:26.120 think about this, because every time that we want to shrug, that, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.520 we want to laugh off, that we want to ignore 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.480 the things that the radical right is saying out loud, 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.240 right much in the same way that they planned that 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:40.600 entire insurrection, the entire fucking coup out loud on podcasts, 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.360 on radio, on Fox News, on social media platforms, and 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.200 the world shrugged. Donald Trump said one six was going 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.680 to be wild. Was there any investigation those motherfuckers were 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:58.560 organizing in plane sight? On Facebook, on Twitter, on TikTok 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:08.720 FBI did nothing, CIA did nothing, Pentagon did nothing because 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.320 it was white folks, and all white people don't do 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:16.680 any harm. Right, We're not going to police our own right. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.800 So once again, here is Rond Santis saying the quiet 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:28.440 part out loud that he, as a governor of a 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:35.080 very large state, wants to put together his own militia 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:40.880 that he directs and that only reports to him. So 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.320 imagine this site. Let's let's paint the picture right now, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:52.920 Ronda Santis decides that he wants to impart martial law 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.960 before any election, before the upcoming twenty twenty two election, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.800 before the presidential election, if he wins re election for governor, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.399 right and doesn't run for president, which I think he 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:11.679 absolutely is, that he decides to invoke martial law. He 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:19.760 disseminates his own guards. Right, the President of the United States, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:24.159 who is Biden, says what is happening in Florida is 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:28.200 on some hot shit, decides that he's going to bring 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:36.400 in now the National Guard, the army, whomever. And so 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.000 now all of a sudden, ron de Santis has fashioned 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:45.399 himself to be what Robert E. Lee and then going 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.960 up against Biden. And this is how a civil war 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.200 breaks out, because you have both sides believing that they 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.040 are patriots doing the duty that they have been called 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:04.159 to do. And while he was having these conversations, and 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:08.639 we could have checked his hot shit years in advance, 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:14.439 we don't because we think that it's a joke. But 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:20.600 I'm telling you that Rhndes Santis creates this militia. What 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.359 is to say that the rest of red state governors 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:28.240 don't decide to do the same thing. What's to say, folks, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.680 if you really want me to scare the shit out 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.199 of you on this good Friday, what's to say that 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.960 they're not all organizing to do that very same thing? 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:44.480 Right the fuck now that they are together collaborating, all 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:49.120 of these red state governments right to create their own 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:54.760 personal militias that only are directed by them for them 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.240 at their will, and that in their fucking crazy world, 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.439 Donald Trump is still there president, and so he is 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.280 the one overarching and calling the shots. This is the 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.359 type of scenario that keeps me up at night because 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.159 what I used to think was so far fetched and 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.920 would never happen could never happen. Everything that I thought 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:24.080 could would and never happen have all transpired over the 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.080 last couple of years. Think about that for a minute. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.040 Before COVID nineteen hit our shores, did you ever think 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.200 that you would be living through a global health pandemic? 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.920 Before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States? 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.640 Did you ever think that an outright racist, misogynous piece 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.840 of shit who joked and was recorded about grabbing a 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.120 woman by the pussy would become president of the United States. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.880 Did you ever think that you would see your Capitol 0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:01.240 building up in smoke and thousands of peace people charging 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.520 at Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police that are trying 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.520 to hold their ground and secure our Capitol building. Did 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.240 you ever think that you would see that in your lifetime. 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:21.600 So everything, folks, including the massive climate events that keep 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:26.919 occurring every couple of fucking weeks now from the historic 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:31.320 fires to the historic tornadoes, to the historic floods, to 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:36.920 the historic droughts. Did you ever think that you would 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:41.600 be seeing these events happen? This is shit that has 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:48.240 happened in the last two years. So I want us 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.920 to get out of the practice of saying, oh, that's impossible, 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.560 Oh that could never happen, because what it does is 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.240 that it blocks us from being able to create a 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.760 strategy to combat what we know could potentially be coming 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.680 down the pike because we think that it's so unbelievable 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.560 that we don't create a plan around it, because we 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.000 don't think that it's worth it. And see, that's where 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.359 Democrats have themselves right now, is that they never imagined 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:22.400 in their wildest dreams that one of the two political 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:27.600 parties in these United States would turn into a right 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.560 wing white supremacist cult. That they never could have foreseen 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.600 that a Lauren Bobert or a Marjorie Taylor Green or 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:41.200 a Matt Gates would be in Congress, and they are, 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:47.280 and they won their elections outright. That we wanted to 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.679 believe that those people that I just named, and there 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.600 are so many more were the fringes of the Republican Party, 0:21:53.600 --> 0:22:00.159 but they would never become the mainstream. But because of 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:06.240 Kevin McCarthy and his amba like physique with absolutely no 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.879 spine and no brain, he has allowed these people that 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.240 we thought were jokes and we thought were on the 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:24.760 fringe to now be mainlined and mainstreamed into political culture. Oh. 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.280 I never thought that we would have an entire news channel, 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:33.720 an entire station, an entire network that was dedicated to 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:44.440 upholding and spreading mass hysteria, hate, fear, and lies. Right, 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:51.080 So everything that we think can't happen has happened and 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:55.840 is happening. And where Democrats find themselves is still looking 0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:00.800 up in wonder and amazement that these things are transpiring. 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.200 And so they are so caught off guard, so knocked 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:09.080 off their game because they're still functioning as if we 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:14.679 have a functional two party system, that these are people 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.600 that are operating under the rule of law, and yet 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:24.199 they are showing us every single day, in every single moment, 0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:30.320 that they could give a fuck about the constitution. Jamie Raskin, 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:34.919 Congressman Jamie Raskin was on the floor of the House 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:40.600 and he is showing, I mean, I laugh, folks, so 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:44.040 that I don't cry. Jamie Raskin was on the floor 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.119 this week showing a very clear tweet and not a tweet, 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.640 excuse me, a text message one of the many treasure 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:57.000 troves of Mark Meadows text messages leading up to one 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.159 six on one six and then following we again. I 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.640 don't know why they're not revealing to the public who 0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:09.919 these lawmakers were, because I'm certain that they know. But 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:14.560 one of them said, why don't we just gather up 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:20.640 our red state Republicans and send these electors and just 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:25.520 decertified the election and replaced them all with Republicans and 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.159 Trumpers and let this ship go to the Supreme Court. 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:35.640 So what a sitting GOP lawmaker text to Mark Meadows. 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:42.320 This was not thought up on a whim. No, because 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:46.240 what are we seeing with the subpoena now of the 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:51.840 mastermind behind the what was it thirty eight slides? Right? 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:57.760 The coup document? The architect of the coup, Phil Waldron, 0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.760 is now being subpoena by the Ones six Commission. But 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.760 I want to bring something else up. As I was 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:10.280 watching MSNBC yesterday, our friend and friend of the show, 0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:14.440 Ellie Mistol, brought up a really good point on ari 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:22.040 Melbourne Show. He said, why is it that it is 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:28.359 the one six Commission, which only has oversight authority doing 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.720 this deep dive in investigation on earthing all of this 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:36.360 shit with regard to who was involved in the one 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:41.000 sixth Direction insurrection, who was the mastermind behind it and 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.240 getting to the bottom of it, And the FBI and 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.800 the Department of Justice are asleep at the fucking wheel. 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:49.760 I tell you, every single day, I want to put 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.280 Merritt Garland on a fucking milk carton because I don't 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.639 know what he's doing. But the other thing that Ellie 0:25:54.640 --> 0:26:00.320 Mistill said is that Biden could have chosen anybody else 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.959 to run the Department of Justice if he actually wanted 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:09.800 to hold the prior administration accountable and safeguard our democracy. 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:16.320 And instead he chose some milktoast fucking institutionalist that has 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:20.240 no grit, has no bite, and clearly has no sense 0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:27.520 of urgency. And I'm like, does he listen to any shows, 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:33.639 does he watch anything, does he read anything? You have 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:42.760 the power to make a significant mark, to signal to 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.840 every Trumper, to every gooper that if you lay down 0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:50.520 with dogs, you're gonna get up with fleas and we're 0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:57.199 gonna wash you out. And he's not doing that, And 0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.760 everybody who is an attorney who has worked in or 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:04.560 around the DOJ has been telling me for basically an 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:08.800 entire year, Oh, don't worry, it's okay that we don't 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:11.480 hear anything about what the Department of Justice is doing. 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:15.520 And I'm telling you now, TikTok, TikTok, your time has 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.840 run the fuck out. It does matter that the public 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.360 knows because the public has lost faith in the Department 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.520 of Justice. The public is losing faith in all of 0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:32.240 our institutions. The public is losing faith in Joe Biden. 0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.040 And you can look at his poll numbers, and you 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:37.240 know that I don't believe in polls, but I'm telling 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.880 you that the numbers that are being reflected right now 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.639 are exactly how I feel. I think that what they 0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:47.760 have been doing is fucking lackluster. I think that there 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:54.639 their attention is way off course. And everybody wants to 0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.199 say to me, well, give them time. They're dealing with 0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.400 a lot. They knew exactly what the fuck they were 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:04.479 getting into when they decided to run for office. They 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.120 knew exactly the mess that Trump had created, So nobody 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.280 should have been caught off guard. They should have just 0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:15.919 been receiving refined details and descriptions so that they knew 0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:19.720 how they were going to attack. Except this administration did 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:24.560 not enter into the White House in attack mode. And 0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.600 I continue to say it. I didn't need a comforter 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:30.840 in chief. I didn't need a fucking hug. I need 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.600 a warrior. I need somebody that realizes that we are 0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.680 under attack, and whether or not actual guns are being 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:42.680 used right now doesn't matter, because they created a goddamn 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:47.560 war room around the insurrection. Where is our war room 0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.720 in order to get our democracy back? Who is in 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:59.240 charge of that? This is where my anger and rage 0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:04.800 reaches a fever pitch, is that I see these subpoenas, 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.200 I see the votes to hold Mark Meadows in criminal content. 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:09.880 I see all of these things, and do you know 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.640 what else I see? I see the fucking calendar, and 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:15.640 I realize how much time we have allowed to transpire, 0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:20.400 and I cannot help but get even more angry because 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:25.200
