WEBVTT - Voting Blue Isn't Enough 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:16.000 Hi, everyone, I have had a fucking enough right. I 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.239 just listened to Joe Biden, President of the United States, 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.759 essentially tell the American people that he doesn't have any 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.560 power to take any fucking action. I just listened to 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.800 Joe Biden, and before that, Nancy Pelosi tell black women 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.440 that they need to organize and get to the fucking pulse. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.960 Here's the thing that I want to say about the 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.800 Democratic establishment and the moment that we are living through, 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.239 right the fuck now, fuck you, The reason why we 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.040 are here at this moment isn't just because Republicans have 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.239 been showing us who the fuck they are for the 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.199 last fifty goddamn years. That's not the reason why we 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.520 are here, right, Republicans have always shown us who they are. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.600 It is Democrats who are set down or fucking better 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.240 yet laying the fuck down like a bunch of goddamn doormats, 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.440 believing that these people who build a fucking gallows are 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:12.640 their friends who believe right that somehow you can negotiate 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.360 with fucking terrorists. Let me paint the picture for you 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.920 right now of what the Supreme Court has fucking done 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.120 so yesterday they decide that oh, in New York City, 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.880 in New York State, you can no longer create your 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.200 own laws for your own constituents. Right that states rights 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.040 apparently only matter if you are a red fucking state. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.240 If you are a blue state, or a person that 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.480 actually right wants to live free, free of fear, free 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.000 of violence, you're just fucked because the Supreme Court just 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.760 turned America into the wild, wild fucking West, where we 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.360 don't know who got a gun? Right, there are three 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.040 hundred and ninety million of them floating around these United 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.560 States that only has about three hundred and thirty million 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.680 fucking humans. But here we are because, according to the 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.360 Supreme Court, the more guns we have, this say that 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.800 we are. I don't know where were they during Uvaldi? 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.800 Where were they during Buffalo? Where where are they during Parkland? 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.640 Where were they during Newtown? Right? And the list fucking 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.160 goes on and on and on and on the reality 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.040 is that we are here because Democrats believe that, oh 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.440 my god, if we force the hand of Republicans too much, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.120 that when they get empowered, they're gonna slap us back. 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.160 Guess what, bitch, we have arrived. Okay, we are in 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.760 the moment that you all have been too tepid to 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.160 fucking deal with from jump. Republicans have all the power. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.280 We have the fucking White House, we have Congress, and 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.280 we don't have Dick because we have nobody that has 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.880 been fighting for the American people to see. Obama left 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.799 office not a fucking person. And you know, frankly, what 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.920 Obama was in office. He fucking sat around and allowed 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.280 Mitch McConnell to dictate the terms of whether or not 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.880 he could actually fully function as the President of the 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.880 United States. And instead of taking that motherfucker the court, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.080 what he should have to say, you don't get you, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.399 as majority already leader in the Senate, decide who gets 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.840 to sit on the Supreme Court, because the American people 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.320 the nation didn't fucking vote for you. But no, he 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.760 get it because he was too afraid about his fucking 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.120 legacy and he was too concerned with what Republicans would 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.160 do well. Republicans are doing right the fuck now, So now, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.920 what are you doing? Right? Joe Biden is sitting up 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.840 in front of the American people telling us that we 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.840 have to vote. Where the fuck were you in twenty 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.320 twenty We turned up in mass in the midst of 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:34.560 a pandemic before a fucking fucking right vaccine, people were 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.600 out in the goddamn streets turning up to fucking vote. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.360 You're telling us now that they are continuing to crime 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.960 out in the open, that they have displaced electors that 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.600 they have voted in for secretaries of States, that they 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.640 have at the ag level, they are at the school 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.040 board level. You've been voting. Is gonna fix this, you've 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.160 been voting. The loan is gonna fix where the fuck 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.760 we are right now? These motherfuckers have created no recourse. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.160 Do know, but Else's Supreme Court overturned this week your 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.440 ability to have your Miranda rights read by police officers 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.840 and then your ability to sue them. Right if in 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.120 fact they don't read you your Miranda rights, that's gone 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.400 as well. So you want to tell me about this 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.000 strategy that has been put in place by Republicans out 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.599 in the fucking open that Democrats weren't expecting, and everybody 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.320 felt them walking around with their hands up in the 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.640 air talking about, oh my god, I can't believe that 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.160 this is happening. You can't believe that this is happening. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.120 It's your job. If I am at work and fucking 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.520 shit gets fucked up while I'm there. Who's responsible for that, right, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.400 Not the customer that is walking in, not the listener 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.160 that is listening to my podcast. No, it's a person 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.120 that you voted into office that is supposed to be 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.200 responsible for keeping Americans safe, telling us that, oh, this 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.240 is all on us, we gotta go and vote. What 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.119 is it that when Democrats are president? Right, when Democrats 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.960 hold the presidency, why does it seem feckless? What does 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.080 it seem that they have absolutely no power, that all 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.520 power lies with the people. But when Republicans are in office, 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.200 somehow the presidency is akin to a king. How the 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.520 fuck dies that work? You're telling me that they got 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.679 all the smart people around them. I mean, we fucking 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.360 know that from the one six commissioned fucking here and said, 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.520 ain't nobody smart was around Donald Chump, but he was 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.960 able to fucking undo democracy and four fucking years. Give 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.640 me a break, right now, I am so tired of 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.159 the democratic establishment believing that they can solve every fucking 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.720 problem with a finger wag and a fucking bottle of 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.440 scotch in a back broom somewhere. You are living in 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.520 the twenty first century. These motherfuckers are violent. It isn't 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.640 just Marjorie Taylor Green. There is a whole fucking militia 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.440 of Marjory Taylor Greens and Lauren Boubert's. If they were 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.080 willing to hang Mike Pence, do you think that they're 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.040 not willing to shoot you? Do you think that they're 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.920 not willing to show up at your house with the 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.680 fucking lynching mob like they did in Mississippi, like they 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.440 didn't Alabama, like they did it all across this country 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:14.400 to lynch black people, you'll think that you're safe these politicians, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.359 My god, wake the fuck up. That was not a 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:23.920 speech that provided any fucking sense of urgency whatsoever. All 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.000 they did was once again put put a band aid 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.200 on a fucking gaping, goddamn wound where the heart of 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.039 this country used to be is now fucking hollow down 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.160 by six fucking people. Five excuse me, because it was 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.800 a five to four decision, five fucking people that the 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.840 American people didn't elect. And right now Clarence Thomas is 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.200 sitting around figuring out how to get rid of them, 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.640 how to get rid of contraception, how to get rid 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.599 of same sex marriage, how to get rid of your 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.040 ability to fuck who you want, how you want, where 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:58.360 you want. That is what is at stake. I said, 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.680 fucking money ago, I said years ago, the Martiniamola Perr. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.040 So first they come for First, they come for the socialist, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.360 but I didn't do anything because I wasn't a socialist. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.480 Then they came for the laborer, but I didn't do 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.320 anything because I wasn't a laborer. What do you think 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.400 that they've been doing? Now, First they came for the 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.400 trans kids, but nobody gave a fuck because, oh, you know, 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.120 we don't understand trans kids. Then they came for marriage equality. Oh, 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.800 but I'm not gay, so that doesn't matter either. Oh. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.160 Then they came for abortion, but you know what, I'm 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.560 not gonna have kids. I don't mind, so that doesn't 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.760 matter either. Oh. Then they came for voting rights. Well, 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.080 you know, I don't really vote because only fucking sixty 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.800 percent of America votes in any election. Anyway, they are 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:48.360 coming for you. This is what they are saying. This 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.080 was not target practice, This was not a shot up 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.960 in the air. This was not a fucking flare, folks. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.559 They just dropped a bomb on our democracy. They dropped 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.840 a bomb on our civil rights. They are thinking considering 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.720 overturning love in v. Virginia. Do you think that Brown 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.280 versus the Board of Education ain't on their chopping block 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.560 to the Supreme Court just told religious fucking zealots, Oh, 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.600 you don't want to send your kids a public education. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.600 You don't want them to go to public school? Oh, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.360 we got you bet, because now the states and our 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.080 tax dollars are going to go to educating your Christian fundamentalism, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:30.160 because there's no separation between church and state. Their plan 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.600 has been activated. It was activated when people decided that 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.760 they were more concerned with Hillary Clinton's emails and fucking 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.040 voting for Jill Stein than they were recognizing that Donald 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.920 Trump was the fucking threat that he was and still is. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.960 We want to talk right now about how, oh my god, 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.800 it was just a handful of people that you know, enacting, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.760 jumped into action and staved off a coup, staved it 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:58.640 off from where we have a radicalized, compromise and corrupt 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.160 Supreme Court. Why do I say that, not just because 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.120 I don't like their decisions, but because of this. So 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.160 let me give you point one. Clarence fucking Thomas is 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.360 a compromised corrupt piece of shit. We know that him 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.360 and his wife Ginny right, are all up in cahoots 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.480 with John Eastman, who was Clarence Thomas's clerk, and Mark Meadows, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.120 who Genny Thomas just so happened to have on speed 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.880 dial on January sixth, Right, and then he just happens 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.320 to sit on a couple of cases that he gets 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.280 to be the deciding factor on and doesn't refuse himself, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.800 and nobody opens up an investigation into that motherfucker. That's 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.680 number one, because that's the latest shit. Brett Kavanaugh had 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.000 over four thousand tips that came into the FBI for 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.600 his predator sexual predator, rapist ass. Do you know what 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.439 the FBI did with those four thousand fucking tips. They 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.760 stuffed them in a fucking drawer. Oh and then they 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.520 dropped them off at the Trump administration's White House. Then 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:01.560 he became a justice. So you want to tell me 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.960 that the Supreme Court isn't compromise. You had Mitch McConnell 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.240 jam through Amy Covid Barrett in thirty fucking days, and 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.600 once again Democrats didn't push back. These motherfuckers are sitting 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:17.839 in lifetime appointment positions. Folks, give me a break. Don't 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.280 tell me shit can't be done, because Republicans always find 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.280 a way to get some shit done. Democrats sitting around 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.920 going maybe we'll get them next time. There is no 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.240 next time. Let me say that again. There is no 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.600 next time. We are not getting another election following mid terms. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.760 You want to think that I'm chicken little telling you 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.120 that the sky is fucking falling. Remember this, right when 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.560 you are being carted off, there is no next time. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.480 Republicans take control of the House and of the Senate. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.080 Biden will be impeached. You will say to me, Danielle, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.160 how will they do that? They will own all fucking 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.160 mechanisms of government. That's how it doesn't need to be 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.080 based in fact, it doesn't even need to be based 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:10.319 in fucking reality. They become the leaders again in Congress. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.480 You're gune, you got Wrongda Scantists. That is climbing up 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.679 right now in the Republican polls for president. Do you 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.840 see what he has done to the state of Florida 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.160 with his white discomfort bills, with his don't say gay bills. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.640 Let that ship be nationalized. People want to tell me, oh, well, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.040 I'm safe, I live in California, or I live in 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.280 New York. Well, guess what, We're no longer safe to 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.400 walk around the fucking streets here because we don't know 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.120 which motherfucker got a gun or who doesn't. Right, So 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.559 you think that, oh, because you live in a blue 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.920 state or inside of a blue city, that somehow you 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.920 are going to be safe from the violence, right that 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:52.720 they are getting ready to inflict or already inflicting. You 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.280 have thirty one white Supremacs that we're arrested in Idaho 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.280 for getting ready to riot out a pride of vent 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.439 Do you know what the Republican response was to that? Oh, 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.160 for Governor Abbott to make it illegal for drag queens 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.839 to be able to read to children. Oh that's right, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.160 because I guess a drag queen is an equivalent of 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.559 an AAR fifteen with a hundred magazine cap with capability 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.440 the ability to kill at least thirty people. We're in 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.360 a blink of an eye, because that's the biggest threat 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.800 to our children, not AAR fifteens, but drag queens. Bitch, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.360 miss me with it. Then you also have Nancy Pelosi 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.280 today wanted to get up to self congratulate on gun legislation. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.960 Oh my god, bipartisan gun legislation pass the Senate, going 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.800 to be voted on in the House, and then they 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.040 can all throw a party at the White House to 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.960 congratulate themselves on what exactly, Because let me tell you 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.880 what this legislation doesn't do. It doesn't ban assault rifles, 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.600 it doesn't van bump stocks, it doesn't raise the minimum 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.320 age of being able to buy a weapon of war. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.480 So tell me again why we are celebrating bipartisan bullshit 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.120 gun legislation that the only thing that it has in 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.840 the title that deals with guns is the name. Because 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.720 other than that, what they are offering is mental health 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.040 services for the kids that we continue to traumatize while 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.000 sending them to school to learn active shooter drills and 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.440 hide underneath their desks. What we are doing is providing 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.520 mental health care for teachers who will already underpay. But here, 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.840 strap up, because you need to be able to teach 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.080 that ABC's with an AAR fifteen strap to your back. Oh, 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.800 because we believe that teachers are going to be more 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.480 brave than the police officers that sat outside of you, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.960 Vald the elementary school for sixty goddamn minutes while they 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.080 listen to children die. You're telling me that a teacher 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.720 it's gonna stop the crimes that police officers stood outside 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.880 and didn't fucking stop, and all of them were strapped 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.960 up with bulletproof. Fucking vess, miss me with it. This 0:13:53.040 --> 0:14:00.240 country just became incredibly unsafe because of a corrupt Rock 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.960 Supreme Court and because we have an opposition party, and 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.360 I'm talking about Democrats that don't oppose a fucking thing. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.880 I don't need your fucking thoughts and prayers. I don't 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.000 need your finger waving. I don't need your strongly worded, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.240 fucking speeches that don't mean shape, because right now they 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.400 are falling on non listening ears. Because the only thing 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:27.640 that I am hearing right is the fear and the 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.640 threat of people who look like me and love like me, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.080 wondering where the fuck they are going to be safe. 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.440 Because I'd love to say that I'll just become a 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.480 recluse and I'll just stay inside my home. We'll bring 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.480 out a tailor thought that she could do that too, 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.560 and she died in her fucking sleep. Right, Oh, I 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.080 thought that I had the freedom. I thought it was America, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.160 the home of the brave, Oh right, the police. We 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.920 congratulate them, we celebrate them, We give them, guess what, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:15:00.720 immunity right from prosecution? Oh my god, because they should 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.480 be applauded for doing what exactly. They don't stop crying. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.040 They aren't organized crime? Right. May Or Adams here in 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.360 New York just gave them what. Oh I think maybe 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.280 billions of more dollars than they asked for, because he 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.640 believes that more of a police president is evils to safety. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.080 Show me what wealthy white community has. Streams of police 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.720 officers that are in there, and that's why the neighborhood 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:32.520 is safe. Folks, if you today have had it right, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.880 if you are like me and you were like at 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.720 ten o'clock this morning, I need a fucking drink. I 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.960 understand that you are not alone or an alcoholic, because 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.720 this goddamn country has tested us for the last time. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.760 So let me tell you this in closing, because I 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.400 need to catch my breath. Right, let me tell you 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.040 this in closing. Voting ain't fixing this. Let me say 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.520 that again. Voting is not fixing this. Not when you 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.840 have a two party democratic system with only one party 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.240 that believes in the constitution and that believes in the 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.160 people's ability to vote. What the one six hearings are 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.280 showing you are the lengths that the Republican Party are 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.560 willing to go to in order to make sure that 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.840 you are unable to vote. So every time that I 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.000 hear somebody from Nancy Pelosi to Joe Biden to fucking 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.400 Schumer right to fucking Kamala Harris tell me that, oh, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.120 we need to vote and we need to march bitch, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:33.480 miss me with it, okay, because while we are doing that, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.000 they are arming up right, their militias are ready to go. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:43.840 You got proud boys storming in unaffected into LGBTQ spaces 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.480 and ain't nobody doing dick. You got march ar Taylor 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.960 Green and Lauren Bobert telling us that the LGBTQ community 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.640 is the biggest threat to their kids. No, bitch, you are, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.560 and Democrats are too chicken shit to say so. Want 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.600 to still be talking about their colleagues from across the aisle, Nigga, 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.920 they try to kill you. Do you understand that these 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.960 people want you? Bet? Do you get that? Do you 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.640 understand that your colleagues gave insurrection as a map to 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.199 your office? There was no way for people to be 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.000 able to find Nancy Pelosi's office in the capital. How 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.159 do I know that because I used to work on 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:25.440 the hill. So how is it that people, literally we're 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.440 mapping out your death and you still think you can compromise. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.200 Oh my god. I think that bipartisanship in this day 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.119 and age should be the dirtiest fucking word, because it 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.920 is the biggest fucking lie you want to talk about, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.320 the big lie. It isn't just what Donald Trump has 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.720 been fucking spitting around for the last fucking two years. No, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:52.000 the biggest lie right is the belief that somehow these 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.960 politicians that you vote in care more about you than 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.600 they do filling their own pockets. We did not have 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.480 to be here, We don't have to be here right 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.560 now if we're not Joe Manchin and Kursten Cinema. They 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.920 tell you that they believe more in the filibuster than 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.840 they do in our constitutional right to be able to 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.359 have an abortion, then our constitutional right to be able 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.560 to vote. They want to tell you that, oh, we 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.400 need to preserve this. They know what they want to say, 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.919 but they won't is that they are a part of 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.080 the white supremacy structure that they want to be preserved 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.919 because you see in that structure, they are at the 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.080 top and they get to play every fucking body. They 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.400 get to play Republicans who are like, oh, come over 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.520 the here, They get to play Democrats because they're like, oh, well, 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.040 if you don't have our vote, then you don't have anything. 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.399 I didn't get to vote for a fucking king cole 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.159 in West Virginia. I didn't get to vote for that 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.440 denim that's wearing bitch in Arizona. Okay, So I don't 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.440 know why they are the ones that get to dictate 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.760 the terms of how this Senate should operate. And once again, 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.080 if we had a president that was on our side, 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.760 that people were actually fucking afraid of, that, maybe they 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.800 wouldn't be calling press conferences. When the president rolled up 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:02.960 to capital, it's talking about I'm not going to back 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.720 this voting rights legislation. I'm not gonna back infrastructure. It's 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:12.600 just not what I want to do. What you know, 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.480 why they act the way they do because there are 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.040 no fucking consequences for their actions And I'm telling you 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.119 here right in this moment, they will face consequences for 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.280 these actions one way or the fucking other. Right, this 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.240 ain't ending well, I say if every fucking day on 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.359 wik I've been saying it since Donald Trump went down 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:37.000 those fucking golden fucking escalators. I said that white supremacy 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:41.760 was not going down without a fight, right, that people 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.360 wanted to believe, Oh no, he could never become president. 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.080 And then O becomes president. Just give him a chance. 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.000 It won't be that bad. I don't need to see 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.600 a burning cross on my front lawn to recognize what 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.560 racism looks like. Right. I don't need to see somebody 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.720 grab a woman by the pussy to recognize that you 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.520 don't have any care whatsoever for women and people with 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.119 uterus is. You don't need to call me the F word. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.639 You don't need right to gay bash me for me 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.320 to recognize that you don't give a fuck right about 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.080 me as a whole human being. So understand that there 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:20.240 will be consequences to the actions that have unfolded this week, right, 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.400 Because what I know to be true is that the people, 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.640 the real people of this nation, are not as weak 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.080 as a democratic establishment is. The real people, you know, 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.720 the ones that actually are affected by inflation, the people 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.240 who are affected by gas prices, the people that were 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:42.840 affected by COVID. These people are real people, and they're 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.520 not just going to sit around casually while one right 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.800 after the other is stripped away. I know that I 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:52.919 am not going out like that, and nobody that I 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.160 know is going out like that. So don't sit around 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.280 here right and think for a minute that all is 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.440 said and done. No, this is just the beginning. They 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.120 have declared war, and the question is what is our 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:09.280 response going to be. It's no secret that the news 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.080 is horsepill hard to swallow. Thankfully, there's The Bituation Room 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.439 podcast hosted by comedian and commentator Francesca Freer and Tini 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.160 for a lighter take on the heavy stuff.

Mayor, 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.879 former mayor and niece Parker, who is the CEO of 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:27.159 Victory Fund and Victory Institute. They are the electoral candidate 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:32.160 arm of the LGBTQ movement, the organization that is responsible 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:37.280 for getting as many LGBTQ plus people elected to office 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:41.720 from the local, state and national level. Mayor Parker, you 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:47.440 took over the reins at Victory Fund at a very 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:52.520 interesting time in our politics, where we were headed into 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:57.480 I believe headed into the twenty sixteen election between Donald 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:01.000 Trump and Hillary Clinton. We all obviously know how that 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.600 turned out, and we are dealing with the residual effects 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:11.439 of that disastrous election today and every day over the 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.560 last five years. Can you tell us what you see 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:20.320
