WEBVTT - Political Insurrectionists 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.480 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to WIKA f Daily with 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.959 me your girl, Danielle Moody, recording once again from the 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:27.600 Brooklyn Bunker. Folks. This week, my god, the second week 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:32.800 of January twenty twenty two. You know, I think that 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:38.560 this week maybe the end of the Biden administration. And 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.120 I'm going to tell you for the duration of this 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:49.840 show that I found myself today really thinking about what 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.880 we voted for. You know, I have been replaying, as 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.560 I'm certain many of you have been doing over the 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:02.840 past year, replaying the last several years in your head, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:07.119 particularly our push and our fight on this show, on 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.399 other places, on other shows, in writing that I did 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.760 to get people out to vote, to get people to 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.280 recognize the urgency of the times that we were living in, 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.000 and that Donald Trump and the Republican Party or a 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.720 dangerous cult. They are a dangerous cult that every day 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:36.280 has worked to weaponize health pandemic, work to weaponize fear, 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:42.319 have done everything within their power and outside of their 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.960 power to destroy America. You know, for the last couple 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:52.280 of years, the picture has been so clearly painted as 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.640 to who these people are and what they want, and 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.360 yet the mainstream media continues to act utterly surprised, like 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.120 they are completely caught off guard by what it is 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:09.280 that Republicans are aiming for, and they are telling you 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:14.320 every day out loud. You're at Kevin McCarthy, that's spineless, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:21.200 translucent jellyfish. Get up in a pressor yesterday where he 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:27.320 lambasted once again their favorite pinata. Nancy Pelosi talked about 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.000 playing politics where I'm like, bitch, where are you like? 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:35.280 I can't stand the fucking term playing politics. Politics is 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.880 a fucking game like everything else. And that's what you're doing, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.440 Kevin McCarthy, when you came out on the floor scared 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.760 shitless right following the one six insurrections, talking about how 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.240 this lands squarely on the shoulders of Donald Trump, only 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.480 to run sniveling to kiss his rain down in Mara Lago. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.760 But a few weeks later, you are playing politics when 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.040 you decide right that the Marjorie Taylor Greens and the 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.680 Lauren Baubert's are going to be the anointed ones of 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.600 your caucus of your party, right, that you are not 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.200 going to condemn any actions that promote violence or xenophobia 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.000 or racism, or in fact spread lies about a deadly 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.960 health pandemic where our hospitals are once again at their 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.520 breaking point, which I will talk about the Biden administration 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:31.640 deciding to deploy medical army personnel to six states in 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:36.920 order to battle against the search. But you are a 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.320 part of a caucus, Dear sir, you are the leader. 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.840 And I put that in fucking air quotes because I 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.320 don't know where he's leading anybody except to a buffet 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.880 at Mara Lago, A leader of a caucus that has 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:59.200 been perpetuating lies. Right, we keep talking about how these 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.320 people are going to be remember it in history books 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:06.160 that will most likely be burned because that's the environment 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.040 that we are living in. It is so dark where 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.240 we are right now that I don't know which way 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.039 we walk in or run in in order to get out. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.840 But I can tell you that the end of this 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:25.679 week had me thinking to myself self, what the fuck 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.360 did I waste so much energy for? Why did I 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.400 tell people, my family, friends, you all listeners out there, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.480 go vote? Register people. This is important. Your life depends 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:44.680 on it. Only to have this administration cut short a 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:50.919 year into its four year term, not by Republicans, no 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:59.480 by members of their own party, by traders. You know 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:05.400 who those traders are, the ones that are outspoken. Kirsten 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:11.359 Cinema and Joe Mansion. Kirsten Cinema found it appropriate to 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.479 give a press conference ahead of the President's arrival to 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.040 Capital Hill, which, let me just tell you, I know 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.919 that we are so far away from normal times, but 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:28.160 let me tell you that in no space and time 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.880 is that ever appropriate. You have often heard of people 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.560 after they meet with the president, after the President addresses them, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.599 to then speak out on what it is that was 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.480 said and how they feel about it, but never before 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800 unless you were a member of the other party. So 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.839 I want people to get a big picture as to 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:57.120 who Kursten Cinema and Joe Mansion are. Let's stop referring 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:04.240 to them as moderates because they or not. They are obstructionists. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.280 They are political insurrectionist. Right. They may not have stormed 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.279 the Capital, right, they may not have gotten zip ties 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.120 and build gallows, but they absolutely with their actions and 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.760 with their words, are doing so every single day. As 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.800 we lead into midterms with Democrats having nothing to fucking 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:30.479 show for it, the President's agenda is finished. There will 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.520 be no build back better And when progressives said, do 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.400 not decouple the Infrastructure building bill from Build Back Better, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.880 because we're never going to get them past that. They 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.520 need to stay together. But no, the President wanted a 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.880 quick win. Oh, Joe Mansion is operating in good faith. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.120 I said this this week on Woke Wednesday. How many 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.160 times does somebody have to spit in your face to 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.839 call you everything but a son of God for you 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.400 to recognize that that person is not your friend, that 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:12.040 they are your enemy. How many times is Joe Mansion 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.360 gonna have a gaggle of reporters around him spewing some 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.560 bullshit about tax credit, spewing some bullshit about process before 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:25.600 people call him what he is, a fucking liar and 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:31.400 a treasonous piece of shit. I want Joe Mansion and 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:37.240 Kirsten Cinema shunned. I want them stripped of their committee assignments. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.200 I want people to go after their biggest donors and 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.080 start to refer to those individual donors or those corporations 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.960 as racist as Bill Connor two point zero. I tweeted 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.680 this yesterday. My three step plan, I said, if I 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.400 were in power, I would be running an all out 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.880 media onslaught against Joe Man in Kursten cinema. They would 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.000 not be able to walk into a fucking store, They 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.640 would not be able to walk into a bathroom stall, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:13.280 They would not be able to go anywhere without hearing 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:20.880 the cries and the screams of people telling them that 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.440 they are racist, telling them that they are killing our democracy, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.040 telling them that they are both putting the nail in 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:34.200 the coffin of America. Then I would go after Like 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.440 I said, they're donors and the donor class, and much 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.000 in the same way that Color have changed. A couple 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.760 of years ago, uncovered the right wing secret weapon of 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.200 alec Right that was doing all of putting together the 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:54.000 backdoor policies that then were magically appearing in state and 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.840 local levels, voter suppression laws right thinking that they are 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.280 going to buy people off right by day and then 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.640 come and steal their vote by night. That is a 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.320 quote from the president of Color of Changer, Sean Robinson. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.880 And I say this because it is not enough to 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.079 just go after these people. It's not enough to just 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.719 send off some hot tweets. You have got to hit 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.800 them where they hurt. And the only place that they 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.280 care about is their bank accounts. They don't give a fuck. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.760 This is why I said, and I'll say it again, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.480 Joe Mansion and Carson Cinema are political prostitutes. And then 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.959 people wanted to come from me, oh, don't talk about 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.520 sex workers. Shut the fuck up, because you know, good 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.040 god damn well, that ain't nobody trying to degrade anybody's 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:49.520 sex work, which is why I said political prostitutes. They 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.600 are turning tricks for those that are giving them the 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.080 most money. What do you call that if not a whore. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.800 So I'm hired right of the whole carrot approach of 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.839 this administration and other Democrats in leadership referring to these 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.760 people as your friend. They are not. You are literally 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.559 sleeping with the enemy right now, and it's about time 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.920 that everybody take the fucking kid gloves off, Everybody throw 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.240 out their rose colored glasses and pay attention to what 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:28.280 is happening. This administration is dead in the fucking water. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.800 They might as well be fucking hall monitors right now. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.319 In democracy, they're just there to have the illusion that 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.640 there is some type of order and protection, but they 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.480 really have no fucking authority. When the President of the 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.160 free fucking World comes out after a meeting and says, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.760 will I don't know if we're going to be able 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:51.000 to get this done. Tell me more about executive power, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.560 because it seems to me that the executive branch only 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:59.480 has power, unlimited, unwielding power when it is a Republican president, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.200 it's a democrat. Ah well, I don't know what we 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.240 can do about that. So I'll just go back to 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:10.160 the White House, right and play with my dogs, or 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.160 put together a really heartfelt speech and slam my hand 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.520 down on the desk and add some affect to it 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.080 so people think that I mean business, but I do nothing. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:28.000 I'm done with the fucking pageantry. Yesterday, the Department of 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:34.719 Justice finally did something right with regard to the insurrectionists 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.400 for the first time, right in this year long fucking 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.600 journey that we have been on right to hold those 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.080 that try to overthrow our government. And and you know, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.760 here's the other thing too, is that mainstream media continues 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.920 to say, oh, they tried to overturn an election. They 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.760 weren't just trying to overturn an election, right because once 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:05.680 it in language matters, they were trying to overthrow the government, right, 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.719 that's what they were doing. So for the first time, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.400 the Department of Justice, according to the New York Times 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.680 and every other outlet that has been covering it, has 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.480 charged the leader of the oath Keepers right. His name 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.040 is Stuart Rhodes. They charge Stuart Rhodes and other members 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:30.120 of the Oath Keepers with seditious conspiracy right seditious conspiracy. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.280 I want to tell you, and this is why I'm 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.320 sitting in a new location today so that i have 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.320 access to my computer. But I want to read for 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:47.840 you the definition right of seditious conspiracy. Seditious conspiracy if 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.960 two or more persons in any state or territory, or 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.680 in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.840 States conspire to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.200 the government of the United States, or to levy war 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:08.160 against them, to oppose by force the authority thereof right, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:14.720 or to prevent to hinder right the operations of said government. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:21.040 Stewart Rhodes let me tell you a little bit about Stuart. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.120 And I think that this is important, not because I'm 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.880 trying to do any sort of docuseries or any sort 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.640 of drive of empathy, but I want us to understand 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.920 who these people are, not in the way that the 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:43.120 mainstream media wants you to understand. But here's the thing myself, 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.520 including for years, have loved to say that the people 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.720 that follow Donald Trump, the people that are far right right, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:57.920 are these under educated, right toothless buffoons who live in 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.600 the rust belt, that are Bible, that lack education, lack 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.959 any skills, and so it's easier for them to lop 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.079 on to the lies that are spread by the Republican Party. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.480 With regard to who is responsible for their lat in life, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.240 it is immigrants coming to steal their jobs, it's black 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.559 people in affirmative action, it is anything other than themselves, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.320 you know, because you can never have really white people 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.240 be responsible for their own actions and their own life. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.960 It is always somebody else that needs to be at fault. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.840 And that is what Donald Trump has tapped into. That 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.000 is what the Republican Party, by virtue of Donald Trump 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.720 being their puppet, that is what they have tapped into. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.400 But this is a thing that we don't want to 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.760 have a conversation about because we of course love to 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.160 treat white people as individuals, as a part as opposed 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.840 to a part of a community and or group. They 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.640 get to be individual lone wolfs, They get to be 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.240 individually pulling themselves up from their bootstraps, but they never 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.760 get assessed as a collective. And that is the fucking problem. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:07.640 Stuart Rhodes is nobody's dummy. Stuart Rhodes is a former 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:13.200 Army paratrooper who, according to The New York Times, went 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.200 on after being in the Army, to earn a law 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:25.960 degree from Yale. And why do I say that, because 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:33.200 the actions that were put into play well ahead of 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.360 January sixth, Because what the Department of Justice and what 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.680 cable News is pushing out are the tweets not the tweets, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:46.760 excuse me, the signal thread, the encrypted signal threads of 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:52.640 conversations between Stuart Rhodes and other members of the Oath Keepers. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:16:02.040 Because folks, what were they creating on said day? What 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:09.640 were they leading up to? Oh, they were creating an 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:15.960 entire military operation, you see, the Oath Keepers. While their membership, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.320 as they say, is open to everybody, who they are 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:26.320 looking for are ex military or current military, law enforcement 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.840 and first responders. From a text that was sent on 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:42.080 December eleventh, weeks before January sixth, Stuart Rhodes essentially said 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.080 that if Joe Biden was going to be certified as 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.160 president of the United States. Then what would ensue would 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:57.240 be bloody. Okay, what the New York Times has reported 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:03.520 they have charged this is at quote it's members not 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.479 only with forcing their way into the building and in 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:14.199 a military style stack, which is a formation, right, but 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:21.399 also with stationing an armed quick reaction force at a 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:26.920 hotel in Virginia to be ready to rush into Washington 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:34.119 if needed. So what reports are saying right now is 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.840 that Stuart Rhodes, the head of the oath Keepers, was 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.320 not in the Capitol building. But as Merritt Garland had 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.680 said in his very tepid Milktoast speech, that he gave 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.000 that regardless of whether you were in the Capitol Building 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.600 on that day or not, or on the grounds at all, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.480 that you were still going to be charged because, as 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.760 he said, right, they were laying the foundation. And to me, 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.560 here's the thing. If I'm laying a foundation, I'm going 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.679 after the heaviest sentences possible. Like I get it. He 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.040 wants to move this as a Glenn Kirshner, as our 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.200 friend says, as a Rico case, right, where you go 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.800 after like the street hustlers, right, if you're looking at drugs, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.480 you go after the street hustlers, Right, you pin them 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.800 and then you have them flip, and then that person flip, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.040 and that person flip, and that person flip, until you 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:33.080 move your way up to the kingpins. Right, Except we 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.000 already know who the fuck these kingpins are, right, We 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:41.800 don't need anybody to be idd We know because they 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.600 were all on the ellipses on January six and they 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.840 were giving speeches, and then we already have the phone records. 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:55.320 Are the members of Congress who are also coordinating with 0:18:55.400 --> 0:19:02.199 those that would attempt to overthrow the government. What I 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:08.760 want folks to understand here is that this wasn't a 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:15.959 wayward group of tourists, right. This wasn't MAGA tourists run wild. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:23.639 This was a strategic, planned out attack, weeks if not months, 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:28.520 if not year in the making in order for us 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.480 to get to January sixth. We all want to believe, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.159 and the media has allowed themselves to run with the 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:40.520 lie that people got swept up in the moment, that 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:44.120 they you know, they got caught up by domestic terrorism. 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:50.080 That Karen and Chad, you know, your mailman, your police officer, 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:58.480 your pastor, they just you know, got caught up with excitement. No, no, no, no, 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.200 These people, the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Boys, 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.159 all of these organized membership groups that are filled with 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:15.800 current and active, current active and retired right law enforcement 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:23.360 military first responders. They created a strategic plan. They had 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:29.919 waukie talkies and earpieces. They had stashed weapons around Washington, 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.720 d C. And Virginia and I'm certain in Maryland as well. 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:41.240 They had coordination, they had surveillance and eyes. They had plans. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:46.760 So while Donald Trump's war room, led by Steve Bannon 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.280 and Juliani, were looking at all of the legal machinations 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.199 and all of the ways to thwart the counting, to 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:59.560 thwart the certification on January sixth, and how they were 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:05.159 going to right not certify the election, get Mike Pence, 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.000 and if Mike Pence fails, then we're going to move 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:13.040 down the line. They also had their foot soldiers, like 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:19.720 these organizations that Donald Trump, him fucking South told on 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:26.760 national television to stand back and to stand by, ready 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:32.880 and armed and waiting to attack. What do you call 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:37.880 that if not a fucking coup? What do you call that? 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:43.000 If not seditious conspiracy? What do you refer to that? 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.679 If not treason? How is it that we do not 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:52.720 have these lawyers at the Department of Justice just running 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:56.159 back Donald Trump's own words, Oh, we don't know what 0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.560 he meant. He fucking told you what he meant. Let's 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:07.240 stop trying to pretend that we don't know. I said 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:13.440 this too on Twitter yesterday because I you know, there 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:18.359 are just some days where I am utterly beside myself, 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:25.240 honestly utterly beside myself, And yesterday was one of those 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:36.240 days where I'm listening to cable news hosts say, well, 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:37.760 what do you think that they were going to do 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.320 with that heavy artillery? Why do you think that they 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.440 were dressed in the way that they were. I always 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:54.200 love the soft balling and performance of neutrality and ignorance 0:22:55.040 --> 0:23:00.000 around white people's violent actions. I'm gonna keep saying white 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:04.080 folks because I wanted to be beat into everybody's head 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.680 that if this was any other fucking group, there would 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:14.600 have been a drone strike on that fucking house. They 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:22.280 wouldn't have casually brought out the leaders of any black 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:32.080 Muslim Latin X organization who is literally preparing for war 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:37.400 and just you know, say, casually read them their rights 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.360 and then you know, make sure that they've dotted all 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:45.400 of their eyes and tees and then you know, indict them. 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.560 They would have killed them, they would have blown them up, 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:59.000 and America would have celebrated. That's the reality, you see, 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:07.280 because when these agencies in the nineteen sixties were wire 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.600 tapping Martin Luther King and Malcolm Axe and doing coordinated 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:16.480 efforts and attacks against the Black Panther Party, and mind you, 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:22.240 there is no equivalency here. I just want you to 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:27.200 see what America has done to those leaders and activists 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:30.080 that have been at the forefront of fighting for justice 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:35.280 and dignity and jobs and respect. They have beaten them, 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.960 they have raped them, they have murdered them, they have 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:46.960 hung them, they have bombed them. And then the mainstream news, 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:50.159 which is complicit in all of it, just chooses not 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:55.560 to cover it so that the larger white American public 0:24:55.760 --> 0:25:02.680 can claim ignorance right and the black community. Black Americans 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:07.000 can feel fucking gasolate on a regular basis because you see, 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.040 we know the truth, because not knowing the truth puts 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:15.600 us in danger. White America, not knowing the truth allows 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:22.120 them to exist in some type of moral Disneyland where 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.520 they get to believe that they are so good and 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:29.399 so righteous and so pure, and it's everybody else that 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:33.280 is violent and criminal and heathens, because that's all you 0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:42.040 are fucking fed. Right. You don't know about the bombs 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.919 that were dropped in recently as nineteen eighty six in Philadelphia, 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:49.240 You just learn about that now. You don't know about 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:54.440 the tanks that we're rolling through communities right in LA 0:25:54.600 --> 0:26:01.280 on the drug war, right, and what they've been doing, 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.879 what they have been doing since the beginning of time. 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:11.840 But when it comes to white America's patterns and foundation 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:20.680 of violence, right and hate and anti government sentiments, they're 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:25.720 treated like upstanding citizens who still have rights. They have 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:31.040 more rights under indictment and being charged with seditious conspiracy 0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:37.679 than any innocent black person walking the street today. That 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:43.000 should make us all sick, regardless of your hue. It 0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:51.200 should make us all sick that we see blatantly now 0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:57.919 how this country operates. It's all about the rule of 0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:02.640 law when we're talking about white people. Oh you know this, 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.399 and this sentence, by the way, if actually going to 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:11.080 trial and convicted, only holds up to twenty years. Right, 0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:15.480 But you will find any maneuver, any undercover law to 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:21.520 sentence Let's say a truck driver who made an accident, right, 0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:25.840 it was an accident that occurred, but you'll sentence him 0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:30.359 to one hundred and ten years. So it's always like, well, 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.240 the law says that we can only do acc and 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:36.119 I said, m that's funny because you always seem to 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.200 be able to find maneuvers and loopholes around the law 0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:41.639 when you decide to throw the book at black and 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.680 brown people and then get fucking celebrated for it. Miss 0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:56.359 me with the bullshit. The more that I read about 0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:04.240 Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers, the more I'm confused 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:09.000 about how these people have not been broken up and 0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:13.639 thrown in jail from the get go. How were these 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:19.320 groups just allowed to operate and organize in broad daylight. 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:24.280 Their whole premise is to create small militias in order 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:29.240 to overtake states and essentially secede from the United States 0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:35.000 of America by force if necessary. They are saying everything 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:39.960 out loud, and yet we still find White America scratching 0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.640 its head, going I wonder what they were planning to 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:48.200 do to fucking kill the Vice President, to find whatever 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:54.920 members of Congress that they wanted to execute them and 0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:59.560 then to reinstate Donald Trump and then get pardoned and 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:04.720 probably get Congressional Medals of Freedom as patriots. That's what 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:13.760 the fuck they were doing. You know, America is not 0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:19.800 just in trouble. America is done. And that's the thing 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.800 that I realize every single day. And I was having 0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:31.920 this conversation with my producer Andrew, and you know, we 0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:37.160 go back and forth on a regular basis, like what 0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.960 are we doing, what are we offering? And I said, 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.400 you know, the question that we're asking is it is 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:51.640 America over right? Is democracy done? And deep down I 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:56.360 will tell you yes, yes it is. Twenty twenty was 0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:01.680 our last free and fair election. America as a democracy, 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:05.280 one that you grew up in, is finished. But the 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:08.680 reality is we have to keep fighting. We have to 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:11.000 fight for the scraps that are left, and we have 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:15.600 to fight for future generations. This is our fight, right, 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:19.520 this is what we are tasked with doing. And we 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.200 do not have the luxury to throw up our hands 0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:26.280 and say that we are done, and to say that 0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.920 it's done. So I'm not going to do anything anymore 0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:35.600 because that is what they want. Create chaos, create mayhem, 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:41.440 exhaust the public. Then they'll turn away from government altogether, 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.000 because they'll see that there's no difference but from one 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:46.960 party to the next, and then you can run rough 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:51.479 shot over the country. Republicans are already telling you what 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:56.800 they are doing when they take back power. Right, They're 0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:02.000 going to impeach Joe Biden. They're going to impeach Nancy Pelosi. 0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:05.520 They're going to take away committee chairs. They're going to 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:08.960 do whatever they can to censure and fire and kick 0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:14.320 out and create one party rule. They're not offering how 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:16.680 they're going to get us out of this global health pandemic. 0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.720 They're not offering how they're going to turn the economy around. 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.640 They're not offering how they're going to secure safety nets. No, 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.960 that shit is out the window. This is about retribution. Right. 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:34.720 They want you to be terrified. They want you living 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.120 in fear. They want to be able to do and 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:42.040
