1
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woka F Daily with

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording live from our podstream

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: studios here in Times Square. Folks, the votes are in

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom is going to keep the California governorship.

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Thank fucking God that the polls were actually right this

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: time around and that his lead was indeed significant. You know,

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: when I think about the possibility of California being run

8
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: by the likes of Larry Elder, essentially Trump in blackface,

9
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: the thought makes me want to vomit. The idea that

10
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: a man, right, a black man at that, could get

11
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: on television and talk about the fact that racism doesn't exist.

12
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: That there were clips that were being pulled up from

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: an interview with host. I'm trying to think a host

14
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Tavis Smiley did an interview back in the day with

15
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Larry Elder, because folks need to know that he's been

16
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: around for quite some time. This is what's so troubling.

17
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: This man did not pop up out of nowhere. He

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: has been one of the golden children of the Conservative

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Party because you know, they love to tout out their blacks, right,

20
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So in an interview that I tweeted a couple of

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: days ago. He said, and this was after the heinous

22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: dragging murder death of Larry Bird, who we often forget

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: about because when we were creating hate crimes legislation, we

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: were focused right on the heinous murder of Matthew Shepherd.

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: But that bill is named for both Bird and Shepherd.

26
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: One a man, black man that was dragged to death

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: by white supremacs, and then another a gay man that

28
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: was beaten to death and left for dead by a

29
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: bunch of homophobic thugs. In that interview that Larry Elder

30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: did all so many years ago with Tavis Smiley, he

31
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: said that you can't judge racism based on one incident

32
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: with one group of people, and that we shouldn't have

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: hate crime legislation. This man also said that slave owners

34
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: should have received reparations for their lost income when you

35
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: know the enslaved Africans, his fucking ancestors were set free.

36
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: The amount of things that came out of this man's

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: mouth over the past twenty sumid years of him being

38
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: on radio, being on the television circuit is enough to

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: make you sick. So the idea that the liberal stronghold

40
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: right of California could possibly even entertain a Larry Elder

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: was nerve wracking. So it wasn't enough for me for

42
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Newsom to just beat him. I needed him to beat

43
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: him like significantly, to send a signal to Republicans that

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: if you are running on anti science, anti women, anti blackness,

45
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: anti LGBTQ plus folks, if you are running on anti

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: climate change, you ain't gonna fucking win. And many in

47
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: the political sphere were referring to this particular race, this

48
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: recall race, which by the way, asked me how much

49
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: it has cost the state of California, meaning the taxpayers

50
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of California. You know how much this recall race costs?

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Two hundred and seventy six million fucking dollars. And one

52
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: of my friends and guests on regular guest on woke

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: f Kurt Bardella, tweeted and he said, you know what

54
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: new rule, if you call for a recall of a

55
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: race knowing good God damn well, there is no fraud.

56
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong other than the fact that you

57
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: don't like the person that in office, you should have

58
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: to pay for it. Right, So the Republican Party, in

59
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, should be the one that is coppying

60
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: up the check for two hundred and seventy six million dollars,

61
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: not the fucking people of California. And this is the

62
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: same shit that happened in Pennsylvania, happened in Georgia, happened

63
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 1: in Arizona during the twenty twenty election. And I'm saying

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: people need to get up in arms, right, this is

65
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: your money. Right. You pay a significant amount of money

66
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: in taxes. If you're not Elon Musk, if you're not Gates,

67
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: if you're not Warren Buffett, if you're not one of

68
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: the billionaires and uber rich, you are paying an obscene

69
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: amount of fucking taxes to your state, to your city,

70
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: and federally. And what I'm saying is that we need

71
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: to start asking for our fucking money back. And you

72
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: know what, let me let me rewind that back. No,

73
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be asking, we should be telling politicians we

74
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: want our money back. So, no, you don't get to

75
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: spend two hundred and seventy six million dollars that could

76
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: go to coronavirus relief, that could go to public education,

77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: that could go to building up a stronger infrastructure in California,

78
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: which has been marred horribly by the fires that we

79
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: have seen, where the smoke is still billowing across the country,

80
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: all the way making it here to New York City.

81
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that could have been used

82
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: with the hundreds of millions of dollars that were wasted

83
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: by fucking Republicans. And so when they say, right, whether

84
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: it is State Republicans or National Republicans, when they say, oh,

85
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that they are the fiscally responsible party, throw shit like

86
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: this in their face, because here's the thing they want

87
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: to talk about, the fact that they are worried about

88
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: nicolin diming, and where's this money coming from for our

89
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollars infrastructure bill? Where's the money

90
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: coming from for this? Meanwhile, meanwhile, Donald Trump, their modyr

91
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: and savior, fucking upped our debt right by trillions of

92
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: fucking dollars four years that he was there. Now, did

93
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: he do it because he was trying to better the country?

94
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Did he do it? Did he waste all of this

95
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: money because he was building out programs that we will

96
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: need decades into the future. No, no, friends, he did not.

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: And so do not let Republicans steal a narrative about

98
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: fiscal responsibility when they are the ones that are spending

99
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: out of control. They just think that spending on wars

100
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and spending on fraud elections and all of this ship

101
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: is worth their time and it shouldn't be. And when

102
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: I say that, I want to see at some point

103
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: soon some type of national fucking walk out, as it

104
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: pertains to the tax bills that are being fought right

105
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: now in fighting within the Democratic Party between progressives and

106
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: between the centrists about whether or not to tax the rich.

107
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: And then you want to be up in arms about

108
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Alexandria Occasio Cortez is fucking dressed at the met gala

109
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: when she's saying tax the rich and sending a message

110
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: and starting a conversation which should be had. And folks,

111
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: let me pause for a minute, because I know that

112
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: I said this already, but I see that this conversation

113
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: around AOC continues, and I want to say this to folks,

114
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: this is all a fucking distraction, right. The reality is

115
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: is that the uber rich and regular rich in this

116
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: country don't pay their fair fucking share. They never have, right,

117
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: It's why they want the Trumps and why they want

118
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: Republicans to be in power so that they can hold

119
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: on to as much money as fucking possible. But what

120
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: we have seen, what we are bearing witness to, what

121
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the global health pandemic has brought our sights to, is

122
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: how the wealth gap, how the racial wealth gap, how

123
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the gender wealth gap, how the gap in general is

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: so fucking enormous in this country. Right, Like you are looking,

125
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, at people, and here here's the thing. I

126
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: always made the joke in the summertime in New York,

127
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: right because you see helicopters flying from Manhattan over Long Island,

128
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: like its yellow cabs that you would see on the street. Right,

129
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: because the uber rich how they get to the Hampton's

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: in the summertime is that they take helicopters and you

131
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: see them going one right after the other after the other.

132
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Just so you know, those trips are like six grand

133
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: round trip, or I think in some instances six grand

134
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: one way. So imagine the kind of money that you

135
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: would have to have in order to use helicopters, like

136
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: they are fucking taxi cabs. Right, So when you see

137
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: these and you think to yourself, these people are CEOs,

138
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: they're CFOs, they are hedge fund people. They are making

139
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: an obscene amount of money, folks, I mean money that

140
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: we will never see, we will never understand in our

141
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: entire lives. And they are paying like twenty percent less

142
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: in taxes than the rest of us. Like, how does

143
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: that work? I'm telling you, as a self employed person,

144
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, when I get my tax bill right

145
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: at the end of each year, I want to become

146
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: a Republican. That's how bad the fucking numbers look. Because

147
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: we do not set people up into this country to

148
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: want to be entrepreneurs. We don't give people breaks. If

149
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you are single and don't have kids, but you want

150
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: to start a business and let's say that be your baby. No, no, no,

151
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: we give you nothing. We actually penalize you. Right, And

152
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: that was one of the pushes for same sex marriage

153
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: several years ago, was around all of these invisible rights

154
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: that you get, right, all of this acquisition of money

155
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and the merging of homes and incomes and all of

156
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: these things. That's what the Windsor case was about. Eadie

157
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Windsor's partner passed away and bequeathed to her a significant

158
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: amount of money from her estate. Well because they couldn't

159
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: marry because there were no laws on the book. Dy

160
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: had to take that fight all the way to the

161
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Supreme Court at eighty something years old. I mean, it's

162
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: outrageous to think of the ways in which we have

163
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: discrimination imbedded into every single form of policy in this country,

164
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: and particularly when we look at saying, well, how are

165
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: we going to pay for this? You have no problem

166
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: paying for wars, You have no problems creating tax cuts

167
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: for the rich on the backs of the middle class

168
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and the poor. And frankly, I don't even know, you know,

169
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I should have an economist on at some point soon, because,

170
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: to be honest, I don't even know what classifies somebody

171
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: as being middle class anymore, because the numbers are so skewed,

172
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: and what it requires for you to bring into your

173
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: household has grown so much. Like we our salaries are

174
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: not keeping pace with inflation. They're not keeping pace at all.

175
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: People are barely making ends meet. Right. There's a commercial

176
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: that I used to love so much, and it was

177
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: this white guy and he's mowing the lawn in front

178
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: of his house and he has a brand new car

179
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: and white picket fence, and he has this plastic you

180
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: know Truman show smile on his face, and he's like

181
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm in debt up to my ear lobes. As he's like,

182
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, showcasing that he's trying to keep up with

183
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 1: the jones Is, and I'm like, that's indicative of America altogether.

184
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: We have this very Sacharin vineer, right, and underneath it

185
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: is rot. So long as the veneer is okay, so

186
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: long as it looks like we are keeping up, and

187
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: then that is fine. But the reality is is that

188
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: we're not keeping up. Too many people are falling behind.

189
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Too many people are falling through the gaps that have

190
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: been purposefully created. And so when I see signs, whether

191
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: it be on the back of AOC dress or elsewhere,

192
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: that say tax the fucking rich, I'm saying, yeah, tax them,

193
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: tax them to fucking death. Make sure that they are

194
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: paying right back. Just imagine that if the rich, we're

195
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: paying their fair share, right And Elizabeth Warren is the

196
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: perfect person that during the election cycle, that during the primary,

197
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the Democratic primary, talk so eloquently about the two percent

198
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: tax and how much money that would make for the

199
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: country and what we could do with that money with

200
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: our infrastructure, with our public schools, with our healthcare system,

201
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: with our Environmental Protection agency, with all of these things

202
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: right that we are seeing now that we are not

203
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: built for because the reality, folks, is that everything around

204
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: us is crumbling because all America has been doing, all

205
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Congress has been doing, is just patching up holes. Right,

206
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: they are not securing the foundation. They are not looking ahead.

207
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, you listen to the Senator Joe Mansions of

208
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: the world, and Mansion will say, you know, we can't

209
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: spend anymore. We you know, we have you know, crushing

210
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: debt and blah blah blah blah. We need to be

211
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: foreseeing things that are in the future. I cannot think

212
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: of anything starker coming our way. And let me like

213
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: knock on wood, I can't think of anything starker coming

214
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: our way than what we are currently dealing with. A

215
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,239
Speaker 1: climate crisis, fires everywhere, a crumbling healthcare system, right, schools

216
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: that are not adapted to the twenty first century. I mean,

217
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: everywhere you look there are problems. But these problems can

218
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: easily be fixed if in fact, we invested in them.

219
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: But we don't. Right, So, when I talk with the

220
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: folks that we had on last week, David Vine, when

221
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: we look at the cost of war over the last

222
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: twenty years, twenty years that we were in Afghanistan, the

223
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: twenty year the longest war that the United States has

224
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: ever been in. And he dropped the number eight trillion,

225
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: and that is just for actual war equipment, tanks, guns, this, that,

226
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: and the other thing, and didn't take into consideration everything else.

227
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: And when he said, when you take into consideration everything else,

228
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about the fact that the United States was

229
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: essentially spending a trillion dollars a year. So when we're

230
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: looking at this fucking infrastructure bill that is three to

231
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: four point five trillion, I believe over the next ten years, Right,

232
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: that is a drop in the bucket in comparison to

233
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: what we have spent over the last twenty So why

234
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: aren't the fiscally responsible Republicans up in arms about that? Right?

235
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Because they don't care. Because they are profiteers. They are

236
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: war profiteers. And each of these people they have stocks.

237
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: They are trading off of the backs of American lives

238
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: while you are too busy try to put food on

239
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: your table, trying to hold on to a job, trying

240
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that your kid is getting educated and

241
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: is safe. Right, they are doing fucking low grade insider trading.

242
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh will we know that the coronavirus is coming, just

243
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: like you know, we saw what's his face? Ryan do? Right?

244
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: His wife? Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't disclose the

245
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: millions of dollars that we made knowing that the coronavirus

246
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: is coming. So we're going to put our money behind

247
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, beds and ivs and ventilators and all of

248
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: these things. That's disgusting. You're a member of Congress, right,

249
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: so you should actively be trying to pass legislation that

250
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: is protecting the American people, not trading off of that

251
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: information with the things that you know. It's disgusting. But again,

252
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: we don't have any laws around that. We just hope

253
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: that people do the right thing. That's it for today's
