1 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Good morning, peep Sin. Welcome to bokay f Daily with 2 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to bring to you a jam packed 4 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: conversation our monthly conversation that we have with our friend 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: Mark Thompson, host of Make It Plain, and we get 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: into mid terms, the monarchy and America's obsession. We talk 7 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: about genocide and the fact that the monarchy not onlike 8 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: the oath keepers, the three percenters and the Proud Boys 9 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: are about fundamentally upholding white supremacy and what does it 10 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: look like for having had a you know, seventy year 11 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: reign of a monarch that was dressed up as femininity 12 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: and fragility, right, and now that she has passed that 13 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: there are countless nations who have been a part of 14 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: the commonwealth that are saying, we want the monarch removed 15 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: from our money, we want to be sovereign, we want 16 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: to be removed from this commonwealth. And I think that 17 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: this is a refrain that we are going to see 18 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: as the ripple effects continue to happen with the passing 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: of the Queen and frankly, you know more in depth 20 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: conversation about what they actually ruled over and where all 21 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: of their fucking wealth came from. So I get into 22 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: this and much much more with our friend the Reverend 23 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: Mark Thompson coming up next. Folks. You know that whenever 24 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: I have the opportunity to chat with our friend the 25 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: Reverend Mark Thompson, host of Make It Plain, I am 26 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: always thrilled because we get to get in real deep 27 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: about what it is that we think that the Democratic 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 1: Party is going to do. We're making the March fifty 29 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: some odd days two midterms. Mark. First, sir, how are 30 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: you doing? How have you been? I'm good, I'm good. 31 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: How about you? You know I've been hanging in there. 32 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: I've been hanging in there. You know. I had my 33 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: first bout of COVID after two years, two years of 34 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: dodging it, two years of doing the my damnedest and 35 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: the best that I could do. But thank God, my 36 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: symptoms were mild. I got over it and now I 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: feel partially invincible. I guess for the next for the 38 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: next sixty days. UM, I want to talk to you. 39 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Glad it wasn't so severe. Yeah, I mean, you know, 40 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: all I kept thinking to myself and all I kept saying, 41 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: was thank God for doctors, thank God for the vaccine. 42 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of crazy to think that you 43 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: have something inside of you that is killed over a 44 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: million people, right, Um, And so that was kind of like, 45 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: it's a it's a weird it's a weird feeling. It 46 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: was a it was a jarring feeling. But you know, 47 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for science and the fact that you know, 48 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: it felt like to me a bad allergy attack or 49 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: you know, or a cold. But I want to talk 50 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: to you about what we have seen. I guess your 51 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: reflections first on the Biden administration summer, on the several 52 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: wins that this administration has had. You and I have 53 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: talked about this before that this administration was not until 54 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: recently moving with the sense of urgency, having the conversations 55 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: that they needed to have, And so what are your 56 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: reflections on this past summer and also, more importantly President 57 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: Biden's speech with regard to the soul of the Nation. Well, 58 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I thought the speech was actually pretty progressive for him. 59 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: I even wondered whether or not you had helped to 60 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: write the speech, you know, because it was something that 61 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: was necessary. He was he was strong, but you know, 62 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I think that he was preaching to the choir. Although 63 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: Hillary lost by about one hundred thousand votes spread across 64 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: the three states, that's not a lot of people. So 65 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: if his Soul of the Nation's speech, if the January 66 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: sixth investigation, if the current DJ investigation about classified documents, 67 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: if those can touch that handful of just those one 68 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: hundred thousand people, that can make a difference in election. 69 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: You know, I've been talking to guests and one of 70 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: the arguments has been, all, you know, people aren't going 71 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: to change. People's minds are made up, and it may 72 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: be true, but there I think there's obviously always going 73 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: to be a small percentage of people whose minds are 74 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: going to change and who going to be impacted. And 75 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: we're seeing it already. Biden's approval numbers are going up. 76 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: So that is having an effect, and I don't think 77 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 1: that's just from the Soul of the Soul Nation speech 78 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: was cool, but that went everything. I mean, we've been 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: seeing the other things that have been taking place in 80 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: the past few weeks. You know, inflation is still there, 81 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: but it's it's coming down. Gas prices are coming down. 82 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: All of these things are having an impact, and so 83 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: I think the speech was good. I think some other 84 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: things that have been happening are good, but I think 85 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: the best, the thing that has been helping us more 86 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: than any thing else has been the Republican response. The 87 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: Dobb's decision has hurt them. You see republic look at 88 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: in candidates scrubbing their support for the Job's decision, which 89 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: reverse row scrubbing their support off of their websites. And 90 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: then Lindsey Graham, I was wondering if you called him 91 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: that was a gift, you're gonna in at this hour 92 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: suggest a federal ban on abortion. So so this is 93 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: this is happening, and I think that that's having an 94 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: impact on that critical demographic. Unfortunately, black voters, black women 95 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: voters aren't always alone the deciding factor in elections. In 96 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, it was suburban, college educated away women, and 97 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: I think that some of them are getting it, and 98 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: if they don't, there really is no hope we're gonna 99 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: find out what this country have made of. You've lost, 100 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: women have lost privacy, women have lost bodily autonomy, and 101 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: there's more to come. And the only way to combat 102 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: that is through with and through women voting in their 103 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: best interests all women's best interests, not in the interests 104 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: of anybody else, not in the interest of privileged white men, 105 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: but in terms of restoring women's bodily autonomy. And I 106 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: think that that happens. I think we're in good shape. 107 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing that concerns me with regard 108 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: to Lindsey Graham, right and the Senate Republicans, which is 109 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: that it is clear to me. I mean, everyone you 110 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: know has said, well, read the room. Clearly Republicans are 111 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: not reading the room right now. You had the pushback 112 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: in Kansas, you had the pushback in South Carolina, you 113 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: had pushback, you know, in a number of states that 114 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: we thought would be slam dunks, that they thought would 115 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: be slam dunks for their anti abortion legislation. But my thing, 116 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: mark is that they're not concerned because they're not trying 117 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: to win anybody's votes, right Like, they are so underhanded 118 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: in their maneuvering that they know that they don't have 119 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: to win these people's votes. They're about stealing elections or 120 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: calling fraud. And so my concern with Lindsay Graham is 121 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: not so much that he is in reading the room, 122 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: but that there's another strategy and plan that is in place, right, 123 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: which is like, we are going to introduce this so 124 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: that it's on the record and on the books, and 125 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: then when the Senate flips over to Republican which may 126 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: not be in this mid term because their candidates are trash, 127 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: but it will be at some point that here it is, 128 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, on a silver platter, ready to go their 129 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: national abortion band. So I want to get your thoughts 130 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: on the fact that Republicans for the last several decades 131 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: haven't been trying to win anybody's votes. They haven't been 132 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: trying to broaden their tent and so how do you 133 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: battle against folks who are not interested? Didn't you in 134 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: any which way? I mean, we saw what they did 135 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: in Georgia, which is basically saying that, you know, the 136 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: state legislature can overturn the will of the people because 137 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: they want to. Yeah. No, that's a good point, and 138 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: I wonder that too. What does Lindsey Graham know that 139 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: we don't know? But you know, it's interesting even Mitch 140 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: McConnell didn't embrace what Lindsay Graham did. But you're right, 141 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: there's a level of suppression. I've spoken with the Legal 142 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: Defense Fund. There are a lot of fights and battles 143 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: underway to prevent suppression, but the biggest defeat of suppression 144 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: is turnout. I think Lindsay and others are probably still 145 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: banking on us not turning out, on our constituencies having 146 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: a low turnout, which is typical for the mid terms. 147 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: Frank Frankly, that's the history of the mid terms. So 148 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: then the question becomes what will what will happen? But 149 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be turned it. I think young 150 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: women are registering in record numbers. People are going to 151 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: turn out because they are seeing. You know, we were 152 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: chicken little. We kept saying the sky is falling in 153 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: terms of row and nobody believed it. Now they believed 154 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton was the biggest chicken little of all 155 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to hear that, and they turned her 156 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: out and she was right. And all of us who 157 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: were saying this was going to happen, we're right. We 158 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: people just could not believe that this would happen, and 159 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: it in fact has happened. So you're right. I think 160 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: they do have some tricks up their sleeve. We know 161 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: we have a Supreme Court case upcoming that will potentially 162 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: empower the state legislatures to do even more to undermine 163 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: federal elections and put that in the power of these 164 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: gerrymandered state legislatures. We've got to fight against that. That's why, 165 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us voted for Barack Obama. 166 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: That was the only thing we need to vote for. 167 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: But we got to get back in the habit if 168 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: we if we ever were in the habit, we've got 169 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: to get back in the habit of electing rather voting 170 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: at the state level, because look at look at rowe. 171 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: Even McConnell said, in reaction to Lindsey Graham stip the states, 172 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: and even he said that, so folks voting in these 173 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: state elections is very very important. Um. And this is 174 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: this is where rubber Hits wrote, you know, I want 175 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: to talk for a minute to um speaking of these Republicans. 176 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, it didn't make mainstream news, 177 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: but a couple of weeks ago, thirty thousand names of 178 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: the members of the oath Keepers were lead. The Anti 179 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Defamation League had them, has them up on their website. 180 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: It was filled with if I am remembering correctly, Mark 181 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy active law enforcement including sheriffs, one 182 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: hundred active military personnel, eighty either current or running for 183 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: public office officials that were on this lift. This to 184 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: me was a big deal, right because the Oathkeepers, the 185 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: leaders of the Oath Keepers, are being held on sedition 186 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: by the Department of Justice for their involvement and their 187 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: strategy and planning on January sixth. How is it that 188 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: the media doesn't pick up on this as if we 189 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: didn't just rip off the hoods of the KKK. This 190 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: is the reason why, and that they would march down 191 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: the streets, that they would wear this garb so that 192 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: people wouldn't know that they were active police officers and 193 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: judges and teachers and doctors, right right, right, well, because 194 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: the queen, I mean, that's that's the priority right now. 195 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: And I get it. This is the transition of probably 196 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: one of the most powerful images and icons in white 197 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: supremacy for seven decades. Thank you, thank you, um. But 198 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: I want to I want to qualify that the most 199 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: seductive and distracting image when it comes to white supremacy, 200 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: all right, because she's she's she's a woman, and she's 201 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: a low lady that wants to tackle a low lady. 202 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: I get it um and they know this might be 203 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: a rap because even in Britain, folks ain't feeling King Charles, 204 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: and definitely on feeling Queen Camilla. So if there ever 205 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: were an opportunity all these things related, I'll tide us 206 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: up in a minute, folks, If there were ever an 207 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to abolish the monarchy, it is right now. In fact, 208 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think it would have been in Elizabeths 209 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: and everyone's historical interests if she had declared that the 210 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: monarchy would be abolished upon her passing, upon her death. 211 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: But what purposes served? What it's not. It doesn't really 212 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: have any real power. It is symbolic. It is an 213 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: upholding of a fairy tale white privilege, which is frankly 214 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: damaging to us all because y'all by now, if y'all 215 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: haven't figured it out, you know, there's no there are 216 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: no prince Charmings. There is no Cinderella, no sleeping beauty. 217 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: You know, most heads of households or women y'all still 218 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: run around looking for Prince Charman. That's that's gone. Prince 219 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: Prince Charming is the major bread winner. The major bread 220 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: winner most households is a woman these days and women 221 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: are under tech. The Handmaid's Tale is the fiction that 222 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: has come to life, not Cinderella, not Union, it Bees, 223 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: not ripunzeled. But we still caught up in castles and whatnot. 224 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: Not only are those old keepers faces not revealed to 225 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: the extent that they should be, but what also is 226 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: not being revealed for the sake of white supremacy is 227 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: how many countries are wanting to remove now that she's gone. 228 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: Britain is the head of state. I heard the Jamaicans 229 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: on my show, like, what kind of image are you 230 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: giving young black girls in Jamaica when they exchange currency 231 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: in money and it's got a white woman on the right. 232 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: We are at the dawn of a new age. They 233 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: are fighting the little Mermaid. They don't want the sister. 234 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: She's under a tech. We can't even have a black 235 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: little mermaid. This is this is what we're what we're 236 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: up against, and unfortunately they are. Those are the mainstream 237 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: media who again want to air on the side of 238 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: not appearing too liberal or two they are. They have 239 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: rabbit ears for their charge. Liberal media. There's no, it's 240 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: not liberal. Nobody's not.

What's happening with Politico?

I'm happy 269 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: that you brought up the Monarch because I will tell 270 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: you that I did multiple videos that I have done 271 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: as of late because I am just outdone. I'm out 272 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: done with the coverage in the United States as if 273 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: every cable network is BBC. I understand the consistent coverage 274 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: in the areas that are part of the quote unquote 275 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: Commonwealth by all means go off. But if my memory 276 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: serves me correct, then Pilgrims came here because they were 277 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: fleeing the monarch. Right they bastardize indigenous populations and the 278 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: Native Americans here because they were fleeing and decided that 279 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 1: they did not want to pay those taxes. They I 280 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: believe that there was an entire war right with regard 281 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: to the separation from the United Kingdom. So I'm confused 282 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: at the consistent pageantry, celebrity, and white supremacy that's celebrated 283 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: here that isn't even placed into context because I said 284 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: that even in her death, there was an opportunity and 285 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: there is an opportunity to talk about genocide, to talk 286 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: about what sovereignty actually looks like, right, to talk about 287 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: the fact that their wealth, their billions and billions of dollars, 288 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: is stolen, it is theft, and there is an opportunity 289 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: even these people that say, oh, they don't have any power. 290 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: A microphone is power. Calling people to sit to have 291 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: conversation is power. None of what she had done except 292 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: to sit with except to sit with crown jewels on 293 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: her head that are stolen from India, from African nations 294 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: right over centuries. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Um. The coverage though, 295 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: let's be honest, the mainstream media is as insensitive and 296 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: racist and non liberal as it is frugal. Okay, putting 297 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: that focus on Britain during this period of morning don't 298 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: cost you much money, you know, because because not really, 299 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: because that's not plane tickets you're buying for reporters ago 300 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: other parts of the country. That's not other money you're 301 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: spending to do stand up cameras and locations. You just 302 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: plug into that DBC or that Sky News feed or 303 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: the Royal Family Channel feed and you're good. You know, 304 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: that's that's the gift that keeps on giving. It's like, 305 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, lawn ordint on TV all the time, y'all, 306 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: because it's expensive, it's cheap. That's a cheap thing to produce. 307 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: And so that's what networks do. So yeah, we ain't 308 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: got to spend a whole lot of money. We just 309 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: plug into this feed. Let this run for ten days. 310 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: I want everybody to be clear about that. So they're 311 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: getting they're getting the imagery and they're you know, saving 312 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: a few dollars. And they know people are caught up 313 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: in the pageantry. No, the bricks got it. They they 314 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: know how to lay somebody out. Now, all the pomp 315 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: and circumstances. It's fascinating to watch. I'll be honest with you, 316 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: I've never seen a jaguar hurst, all right, And so 317 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: I was like, whoa mother got a jaguar hurt? So, y'all. 318 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Daniel was my time. Y'all get me a jaguar hurt too. 319 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: I've seen that jaguar hurt that makes you look at 320 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: it all his own. I just go and look at 321 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: that if you don't do nothing else. So they know 322 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: how to lay it out. And that's the distraction from reality, 323 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: distraction into fantasy. And for the media in this country 324 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: as well as around the world, it's it's it's cheap. 325 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: You know. It gives everybody a little kind of a 326 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: paid vacation. Well, you know, I ain't got to be 327 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: in these streets cover nothing that's going on over here. 328 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: I can take a little break, I can get a 329 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: little breather. Um. But you're so right, though, mark about 330 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the distraction though, because all of this, this is what 331 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: it is, right, because that's what celebrity is. You steal 332 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: other people's generational wealth, and then you make up worship. 333 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: You make them worship your royalty, you make them worth 334 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: worship your your bloodline. And and it is, you know, 335 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: in a white supremacist system. We all live in other 336 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: contradictions every day. Even those of us who are black 337 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: like folk come on with us and they super black. 338 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: But when they work, they don't do nothing right when 339 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: there's racism happening right in their in their own jobs. 340 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: And it's the same with everyone else. Women, progressive women 341 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: voted for a man that talked about grabbing the pussy. 342 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: That's a contradiction. So now people are worshiping a woman 343 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: who oversaw, and it's really it's it's as sinister is 344 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: with her ancestors and those who colonized Africa, all right, 345 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: her ancestors, she played a role in in softening the 346 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: level of accountability and reparations that the newly independent colonies 347 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: with demand because she was sweet, and she was so pretty, 348 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: and she was a standard. You can't attack no white 349 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: woman like that. You can't. Now if now, if it 350 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: had been you know, her father or her father's father, 351 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: then folks might have wanted to mix it up a 352 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: little bit more. But nobody wanted to be impolite. They 353 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: used her in her image to grow around the world, 354 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: even when these countries were breaking off from the British Empire. 355 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: They used her image of womanhood and frailty all right, 356 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: to give to change the image of Britain during that time. 357 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: And so that's not by accident either. And I think 358 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: we have to know what these what these things mean 359 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: and what they are now. Obviously there has been some 360 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: aoing coverage of January sixth and the other piece, and 361 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: I think that's important. People are getting that. But nobody 362 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: is going to be like us and draw a relationship 363 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: between what the oath keepers were doing white supremacy and 364 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: what the British monarchy has done since the beginning of 365 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: time white supremacy. Britain didn't colonize well other than these states. 366 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: This was the only place here in America. Well, let 367 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: me put it this way. There were white who were 368 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: under the colonies here in America, but that's it. They 369 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: came here to colonize a place that was inhabited by 370 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: people of color. All these Australia. Australia's even talking about 371 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: taking the queen off the money and removing her a 372 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: head of state or now the king m Australia is 373 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: a black nation, all right. The people in Australia who 374 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: were white, of those who immigrated from Europe. It's an 375 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: indigenous nation. Australia, India, most of Africa, the Caribbean jau was. 376 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna showed it. So I don't want to get 377 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: de Bunin's gonna show you ull some real quick, Megan Marko. 378 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: The reason Charles didn't have no problem with his son 379 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: marrying a sister is because the majority of the fifty 380 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: six nations in the common Wealth of not all of them, 381 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: are nations of color. So this is it. If Britain's 382 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: gonna stay relevant, they got to appeal and appeas to 383 00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: these countries of colors. So we got to have some 384 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: adversity in the royal family. So what with looking up, y'all, 385 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: what was Megan's dress made out of? You think she 386 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: picked that? The dress had designs of all fifty six 387 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: Commonwealth nations national flowers. Now, Daniel, you're gonna get married, 388 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: Why you won't flowers of all these other nations? I 389 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: ain't gonna do with you. But that was the politics 390 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: of it. That's why when Charles went to Barbados, they 391 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: became independent. They don't want to be associated with it. 392 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: They went to Commonwealth. Charles went to Barbados for the 393 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: handoff like his mother used to do, to make sure 394 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: everything's smooth and want to kind of rain term relationship. 395 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: You're leaving the Commonwealth and basically handed over queen ship 396 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: from his mother. Charles did from Elizabeth to Rihanna practically 397 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: crown Rihanna the queen. But what a lot of people 398 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: don't know, Harry is always like the sisters. I like, 399 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: ain't knowing neces to like the sisters. God blessed the sisters, 400 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: you know, Oh God, I mean, I can't follow nobody 401 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: for that. But he at one time was interested in Rihanna. 402 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: They tried to pursue a dating type of situation and 403 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. But see if that had happened, 404 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: and she's representing a country like Barbados, that would have 405 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: gone even further to show up this commonwealth. They want 406 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: to keep this together and see there's money, there's an 407 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: exchange in resources. Jamaican's told me when they went. And 408 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: so they went down to the cribbin Harry. Now, Harry, 409 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: William and Kate got protested at to cancel a lot 410 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: of events. Right when they go to these countries, those 411 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: nations have to pay for their visits, pay for the security, 412 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: and they're not they don't invite them. They weren't invited 413 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: to come to Jamaica. We're coming to Jamaica, y'all got 414 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: to pay for it. People are sick of that. So 415 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: when you look at that. What the oath keepers do 416 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: and what they continue to do, is perpetuate a modern 417 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: day version of empire and supremacy. That's what the Civil 418 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: War was all about, and they want to bring it back, 419 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: they want to redo it. We've got to stand against it. 420 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: And if it took we've been saying this too, we've 421 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: been blow in the face. But if it took the 422 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: Dob's decision to wake everybody up, if it takes what 423 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: happened on January sixth to wake everybody up, if it 424 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: takes what many believe, even some of Donald Trump's friends 425 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: believe is his indictment around classified documents, then that's what 426 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: it takes. And so be it. It is what Donald 427 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: Trumps say, It is what it is. You know, it's 428 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: so interesting, Mark, because the thing is that you that 429 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: you make, that you make plain with regard to the 430 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: United Kingdom, with regard to Megan Marcole, it was a 431 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: missed opportunity, right because when they have the opportunity to 432 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: stand together as a family to say we are we 433 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: stand and against racism in any in any of its forms. 434 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: This is now a member of our family and our party, 435 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: they didn't do that. Right, they hung her out to dry, 436 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: which is why she had to flee back. I mean, 437 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: when you are fleeing the UK to come back to 438 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: America because America is less racive like that to me 439 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: was just jarring, an eye opening. But the thing that 440 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: the last question that I have for you here though, 441 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: is this is that just as cable news hasn't been 442 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: able to read the room and recognize that people are 443 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: over the monarchy, right, the people, the billion plus people 444 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: that watched Megan and Harry get married, and I wasn't. 445 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: I was one of them. The world and society has 446 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: changed so greatly in just a handful of years. Right. 447 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: We've seen an attempted coup. We have seen you know, 448 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: oath keepers and proud boys and three percenters marching in 449 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: our streets. Again, we have seen a rise in political violence, 450 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: and there are so many more people who are seeing 451 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: on social media from the Commonwealth places and you know, 452 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: from the United States, that are just done. Do you think, though, 453 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: that all the things that we have experienced and continue 454 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: to experience at the hands of white supremacists that are 455 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: now that is now synonymous with the Republican Party is 456 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: enough to hold the line because that's all we're trying 457 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: to do right now. We're just trying to hold the line. 458 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: Do you think it's enough? I think so. I think 459 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: it's happening. I mean, of course we'll know in a 460 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: couple of months or in less than two months, but 461 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: we really have nothing else to fight with. I think 462 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: again that the right is doing a lot of our 463 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: work for us. I hope that we are prepared for 464 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: all the little tricks that are planned for November. And 465 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. It's it's significant for Nancy 466 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Pelosi to say what she said. She believes, she's announced 467 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: she's expecting pickups in the house. That's a bold statement 468 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: coming from someone like her. Now here's our other problem, though, y'all, 469 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: this is this is family business. This is what we 470 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: got to deal with as voters, as a community of progressives. 471 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: If we say we're losing, our side tends to get 472 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: discouraged and not vote. We don't step up. Sometimes we 473 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: get discouraged. If we say we're winning, our side says, oh, 474 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: well we're good and I don't need to go vote. 475 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: That's own pathology we got to work on. We really 476 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: need some group therapy for all progressives and Democrats and liberals, 477 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: because you know, we we we do that no matter what. 478 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 1: We've got to make this second nature. Yeah, it's a 479 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: big deal too, that married Garland finally has the courage 480 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: to step up and do something he didn't want to. 481 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: No good married Garland. So that says a lot and 482 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: and and again, I hope we don't need a lot 483 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: of people. We just need those few, these those independents, 484 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: those women, those white women in suburban college es, kitty 485 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: white women, especially those you who voted for Donald Trump, 486 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: those who have any regard for the rule of law. 487 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: Was Donald Trump or spot? Look if Danielle now in 488 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: the White House, you know, we might have stolen some 489 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: artwork or some channa, some stuff we can sell you. 490 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: What do you do with nucleus secrets? We can't say, 491 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: we don't know nobody we can sell those two. The 492 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: only people who can do something with that and sell 493 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: it are those who are in the business of espionage. 494 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: Right if I had some nuclear secrets, Danielle, Danielle, could 495 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: I call you, Hey, Danielle, I got these nuclear secrets. 496 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: You know who we can get them to. You wouldn't 497 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: know who to call. We would know who to call 498 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: We don't know nobody who would know, nobody who to call. 499 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: But someone who's in that business knows Donald Trumps has 500 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: been a spy. And hopefully that point gets over. So 501 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: you put January six together and they're gonna have more 502 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: hearings leading up to November. That is. Look at the prosecutions, 503 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: Look at the subpoenas for those involved in January six. 504 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: Look at the documents that Donald Trump stole, which you 505 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't have. Look at what is happening to women's bodily autonomy. Yes, 506 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: it's about abortion rights, it's about privacy, but it is 507 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: about bally autonomy. Back to the Queen, her ancestors revoked 508 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: the bodily agency and autonomy of women of color, indigenous 509 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: women in this country. That's where it all got started. 510 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: And when they brought us over here as enslaved people, 511 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: they did the same thing, and not just to women 512 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: but also to men. Men were fondled and raped on 513 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: the auction block. So this has this has a history. 514 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: If it had stopped then it wouldn't have gotten as 515 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: far as it's gotten today. But this is the same 516 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: white supremacist mentality that wants to keep that alive. And 517 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: if we don't seize this opportunity. Just like you said, 518 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: they didn't see the opportunity to protect Megan Markle. They 519 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: didn't do a thing. Even if the family didn't attack her, 520 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: they were quiet while she was being attacked by the mean. 521 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: We cannot be quiet in the face of this reverse, 522 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: this going back in time to the subjugation of women 523 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: or any human beings. When it comes to our freedoms, 524 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: our rights, our bodies, our votes, we can't afford to 525 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: go back. We can't allow ourselves to go back.
