WEBVTT - There Is No "Center"

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Meet Your Girl Daniel Moody recording from an unknown bunker

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>because I am on the road, folks, I want to

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>start off today with Donald Trump over the weekend on

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Meet the Press and him talking about the fact that

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>he is going to end birthright citizenship. And I have

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you. I've said this before, but

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of what this administration is about is shock

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and awe is, you know, disrupting nervous systems and creating

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>fear and anxiety and anger. It's like a consistently being

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>on air with a shock like that is what they

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>want because they get off on the level of fear

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and anxiety that they're able to produce. And the fact

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of the matter is that Donald Trump, as President of

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the United States, does not have the power to end

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>birthright citizenship. That is outlined in the Constitution. And even

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>though we know that there have been a number of

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>federal judges that were appointed to do Donald Trump's bidding,

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we also have to remember that judges are actual people

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>who want their legacies to remain intact, who actually believe

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>in the rule of law. And so while they may

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>have been appointed by Donald Trump. The fact is is

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that they took an oath to the Constitution as well.

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>And when pressed on a lot of topics, what does

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump continue to say, Oh, we have concepts of

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a plan. I have to remind myself when I get

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>into a place of deep anxiety and fear about what

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>is to come, and folks, this is not me trying

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to minimize the fear or concerned that people have, because

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I know that it is very real and we do

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>know what happened in the first administration. But I think

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that it is important to be reminded that these people

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>are fucking idiots and that they actually don't know how

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>government works. They don't care to know how government works,

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and the things that they think that they're just going

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do at the snap of the

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>finger is not going to happen. That there are going

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a mountains of court cases and blockades that

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>are put in their place in order to stop or

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>slow down a lot of the actions that they want

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to take that go against the constitution of these United States.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know, while we are watching as governments around

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the world crumble, as in Syria, that are becoming non

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>functional as in France and that are teetering on authoritarianism

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>as is happening here. We are witnessing that the people

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>right have more power than we are being led to believe.

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's why I end my shows with power to

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.399
<v Speaker 1>the people and to all the people power because if

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>we as people actually recognize that these autocrats, that these

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>want to be autocrats, are actually afraid of the people

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>that they are supposedly here to represent, then we recognize

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that they can't oppress us without our consent. We have

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to go along with the get along of their bullshit

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in order for their way to happen. Right like, we

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>have to believe that while there is no rule of law,

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>while the people have no power and they can do

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever they want, and if that is what they allow

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>us to believe, what they make us believe, then yeah,

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>they are going to get their way. But at the

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, no one can oppress you without

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>your consent. And so collectively we have to understand the

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>power that we have in this moment to slow this administration,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>this regime down and recognize that while they're talking about

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>starting things on day one, that there are also right,

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>whether it be the deport mass deportation. There are whole

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>industries that will crumble if, in fact that happens. And

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>there are also protocols, checks and balances that have to

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>happen in order for this mass deportation plan to take place.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>There are laws that have to be put in place,

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>there are policy measures that have to be passed. Again,

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>none of this happens because Donald Trump thinks that he

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>is fucking bewitched and can wiggle his nose and then

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, you know, everything just goes all one.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not how it works. And I think that we

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>need to be reminded consistently of that fact. I have

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a bone two pick, and it is one that I

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>am just. I am so fucking outdone. And I tell

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you that every time that I think that Democrats have

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 1>reached a new low, right like, every time that I

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>think that they can't show their spinelessness, they can't show

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>an even more that they are not built for this moment. Boy,

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>do they like go above and beyond to prove to

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>people that they are not built for this moment? But

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>can somebody fucking explain to me why Jim Clyburn had

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the audacity to say that Joe Biden should pardon Donald

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump so that we can have a clean slate. And

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>who is the we that he is talking about, because

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that there are people black people

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>sitting inside of federal prisons that deserve to be pardoned

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>for trumped up charges that they have been held on.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is a fucking criminal. And so I am

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>so confused about why Jim Clyburn, a man that has

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>been in Congress for as long as he has been,

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that has worked with many of the administrations, would stare

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>down the American people and say that Joe Biden should

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and pardon Donald Trump because somehow that would

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>excuse the stealing of documents, the inciding of an insurrection.

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you that this is why, this

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is why seven million people sat home. This is why

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>people look at the Democratic Party and they say that

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you are no better, and why you have these Democrats

0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that are so busy trying to either chase Republicans or

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>chase the center that no longer exists, rather than rooting

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>themselves in progressive policies and ideas that the people actually

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>want that are actually popular. To pardon Donald Trump would

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>just to be just to state fully and unapologetically that

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we are not a nation of laws. Because how is

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it that Brazil is able to hold their former president

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>accountable and guess what, their entire country doesn't collapse, right,

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>How is it that other nations who have had criminal

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>presidents are able to hold them accountable? But here in

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States that is supposed to be somebody's beacon

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of democracy. That we're saying to you, no, no, no,

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>overlook all of it. And in order to give America

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a clean slate, we must deny the truth about who

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is, right, because that's how the rule of

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>law works. It is beyond disappointing. It is at the

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>point of absolute disas gust that I find myself with

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party in this moment. And this is why

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I continue to say, these people are not built for

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment and it is time for them to retire.

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>There is no center when you have one party that

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>is built of extremists. Democrats are proving that they are

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>not extreme enough in their progressive ideas, that they are

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.679
<v Speaker 1>not pushing enough for the people. And that's why seven

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>million people stayed home, because they say, I see no

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>difference between you all and frankly, I want to opt

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>out of this system. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is is that if you don't have a voice in

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this system, your non vote was a vote for Donald Trump.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So we all know who pay attention that his win

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>was nobody's landslide and nobody's mandate. But the fact of

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the matter is is that those seven million votes they

0:08:53.559 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>were absolutely fucking needed. But instead of going after the

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:06.199
<v Speaker 1>American people and saying that we need you to understand

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>not what is that danger, but what we are doing

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to make your day to day life better. What we

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>are offering, what this economy that was turned around after

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump bottomed it out because of his response to COVID.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>This is what Democrats are doing, and this is what

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>we will push on so that we can be the

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>model in the world and not the laughing stock. I

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>want to switch gears for a moment and talk about

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the ways in which America is a laughing stock, and

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that is around our healthcare system. So we see right now,

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>as allegedly the man who committed the murder and killed

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the CEO of United Healthcare, we see the reaction that

0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>people have had right I've talked about it. It is wild.

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>It shows you how dark of times we are living

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in one where jokes are made about the murder of

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a CEO. But it also shows you how fucking harmful

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>our healthcare system is towards millions of Americans. That man

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Brian Thompson, as president, overseeing an over three hundred billion

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>dollars over three hundred and fifty billion dollar budget, was

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:41.239
<v Speaker 1>responsible for denying claims of thirty one point five million Americans,

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>sick Americans who are paying into what I can only

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 1>refer to as one of the biggest fucking Ponzi schemes,

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>which is our healthcare system. Why do I call it

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a Ponzi scheme because you either pay out of pocket

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>every single month or your employees pays out of pocket,

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>only to have insurance companies take your fucking money and

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>then deny you coverage and have the ability to say,

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>oh no, we're going to cover this but not this,

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>which is why millions of people go bankrupt when an

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>unexpected illness befalls them or their family. Why in this

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>country of supposed abundance are people being forced to do

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>go fundmes in order to pay for necessary surgeries, in

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:38.439
<v Speaker 1>order to pay for medication most industrialized countries have universal

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>health care, but in America we make it as complicated

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>as possible so that the CEOs of these companies that

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to deny your claims to decline them,

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>can make as much money as possible. That is why

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>people reacted the way that they did, because if you

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>kill one person, as I saw stated, you're a murderer.

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But you kill hundreds of thousands of people, oh well,

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you're providing quality for your shareholders. It's sick and it's twisted,

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and the darkness in people's response to this act of

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>violence shows you that healthcare is actually something that we

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>can all unite around because there isn't a person that

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>does not have a story that is heartbreaking or terrifying

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 1>or anger inducing that involves chasing down your insurer in

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>order to get coverage of basic shit. So you know,

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I do not unlike corporate mainstream media, I am not

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>wronging people for their reactions and their responses to this

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 1>murder because what it illuminates is a much bigger problem

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>And maybe instead of these CEOs now looking for security,

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe you should actually think about your fucking practices that

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>are harming people as opposed to helping them. It's wild

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to me that you would get into an industry that

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to be about providing healthcare to people and

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you're getting high fived and celebrated for denying millions. It's

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>disgusting and it is it is deplorable, but we have

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>just lapped it up in this country as well. That's

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the way. No, it is not. It's the way until

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>it isn't. And maybe this is the eye opening moment

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>where people, you know, across party lines recognize that, yeah,

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what, why don't we have universal health care

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>in the United States? Why am I supposedly needing to

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>be woken up in the middle of a fucking surgery

0:13:55.240 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>because oh, Blue Cross, Blue Shield didn't want to extend

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the anesthesia that you had because your surgery was running along.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>You see how they quickly reverse that decision. But they

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 1>try and find these insurance companies try and find any

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>way to screw people who are spending hundreds, if not

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.479
<v Speaker 1>thousands of dollars if you're in a family on healthcare.

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>It makes absolutely no sense. And I'll tell you that

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>when I was covering this on the Daniel Moody Show

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and on others, that people who listen from around the world,

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>from Australia, from the UK, from Canada, where like, we

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>don't get it. We don't get it, and it's disgusting

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and we are so sorry for you all. And I'm like,

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>until Americans begin to demand better and also let go

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of the illusion that somehow America is better than other nations,

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>when what is coming into our site is that we've

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>been lied to, we have been bamboozled, we have been

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>fed this line that America is exceptional, and it is not.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It is actually exceptional in its cruelty. It is exceptional

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>in its hate. It is exceptional in its low quality

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>public education. It is exceptional in its obesity problem and

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>its mental health crisis and its gun problems. Right, you

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>can list out the ways in which America is exceptional,

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of them are fucking terrible. What I

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>have continued to say about America is that we have

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the best pr of any country, because when you're actually

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>here and you visit someplace else and realize that, why

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>does our infrastructure look the way that it does. Whenever

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I see these memes of high speed trains in Europe,

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>or in Japan or in other and they'll say, oh,

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>my god, such and such country is in the future. No,

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they're not. America is just living in the nineteenth century.

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Everyone else has created policies, infrastructure right in a way

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>that is forward thinking. America, however, in too many instances,

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>is living and existing in the past. And we are

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>at a moment, at a critical moment, when we have

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a new administration coming in that has no imagination right,

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that is not interested in innovation, that is not coming

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>from a place of abundance, that it's going to be

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 1>operating from a place of scarcity and pushing America to

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>fall further behind. We live inside of a global society,

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and this idea that, oh, America first, when America is

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>literally last in global metrics of so many things, is embarrassing,

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>but it's also incredibly ignorant. So well, I don't wrong

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 1>people for the feelings that they have expressed on social media,

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because it is again a symbolic of a much deeper

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>problem that we have in this country that we refuse

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to address, and we are at a breaking point. And

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>what I believe is that look, this administration that is

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>coming in, they are coming in with a hammer to

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>damage as many things, as many agencies our spirit as

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 1>much as they possibly can. But I will reiterate what

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I said at the top. No one can oppress you

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>without your consent. And we still have the Constitution of

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the United States, We still have the rule of law,

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and we still have the will of the people, and

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 1>we need to exercise that and think about what does

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 1>our resistance look like moving forward. That is it for

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>me today, dear friends on WOKF as always, power to

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the people and to all the people. Power, get woke

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and stay woke as fun
