1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to wikf Daily with me 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: your girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Happy fuck it Friday. We've made it to the end 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: of the week. Give yourselves a hug, Give yourselves a 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: high five. I don't know how you do that. I 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: guess by banging your hands together. Just applaud yourself, right, 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: because frankly, if we don't celebrate these little things, we'll 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: go insane. So what do I want to talk about today? 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head for those of you that are 10 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: just listening to the audio, but if you are a 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: subscriber on Patreon, you're watching the video so you can 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: see me. But where do I want to begin? First off, 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I want to start with the Supreme Court. Fuck them, 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: like honestly I can and not even begin to state 15 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: how fucking done I am with this Roberts Court. I 16 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: would say that they would go down in history as 17 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: the worst Supreme Court, but I'm sure that book would 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: be banned. But the reality is is that the Roberts 19 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Court is hell bent on rolling back any bit of 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: progress that was made in the twentieth century and bringing 21 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: America back into the nineteenth century by giving full rein 22 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: to the NRA, by giving you full bodily autonomy over 23 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: to men to dictate and jurisdic how women can move, 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: whether or not we have children, how we have children, 25 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: all of those things. But this latest slate of bullshit 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: around Alito's wife and the flying of these flags that 27 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: are in reverence to January sixth, that are wholly anti 28 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: American right, anti constitutional. What do I mean by anti constitutional? 29 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: Let me just say, because I just literally made that up. 30 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: You're anti the Constitution. You don't believe in the values 31 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: the laws that dictate this country, right, Like, if you're 32 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: flying a flag that is an upside down American flag, 33 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: you don't believe in American values. So but somehow you're 34 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: sitting on the Supreme Court telling the rest of us 35 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: what is right and what is wrong, what is law 36 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: and order when you don't believe in the tenants of 37 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: the Constitution. And for Alito's response to be like, oh, well, 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: my wife likes flying flags, Well, apparently women can have power, 39 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: but only the power that Alito gives them, and it's 40 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: only one woman his wife go to fucking hell. And then, 41 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: as of the time of this recording, breaking news came 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: out that, uh, just John Roberts, who's being called before 43 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary says, yeah, I'm not coming because there 44 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: needs to be a separation of power. Are you fucking dumb? 45 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: So my response to the Senate Judiciary is, like, this 46 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: actually was not an invitation to a party that you 47 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: get to turn down. Like we're actually going to hold 48 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: you in contempt, right, Like we are ordering you to 49 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: come to sit before this body and explain to us 50 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: how you have two incredibly unethical, fucking justices on your 51 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: court that you're doing nothing about. I want to bring 52 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: something to folks' attention. And this is an op ed 53 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: that was written by former guest of the show, representative 54 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Jamie Raskin in the New York Times. It's entitled how 55 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: to force Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves in 56 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: the January sixth case? Right, Because here's the thing. Not 57 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: only is fucking Alito's wife flying insurrectionist flags at their homes, 58 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: but we know that Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginny, was actively 59 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: a part of trying to discredit our votes and overturn 60 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: the election of twenty twenty. Of course, Merrick Garland and 61 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: his spineless fucking ass has not hauled in Ginny Thomas, right, 62 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: has not brought charges against her because oh, we don't 63 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: want to be seen as a political entity. Well here's 64 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: a fucking tip, regardless of whether or not you follow 65 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: the rule of law, which would have you look at 66 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: Ginny Thomas, look into her spending her money, because you 67 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: know she's literally in bed with the Supreme Court justice. 68 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: There are actual rules right that should be followed, that 69 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: are dictated. But for Republican I guess it's just you know, 70 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: a please ken you not necessary because they live above 71 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: the law. So here's what Jamie Raskin wrote, quote. Many 72 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: people have gloomily accepted the conventional wisdom that because there 73 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: is no binding Supreme Court ethics code, there is no 74 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: way to force Associate Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas 75 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: to recuse themselves from the January sixth cases that are 76 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: before the Court. Justice's alitos, Alito and Thomas are probably 77 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: making the same assumption, but all of them are wrong. 78 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: It seems unfathomable that two justices could get away with 79 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: deciding for themselves whether they can be impartial in ruling 80 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: on cases affecting Donald Trump's liability for crimes he is 81 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: accused of committing on January sixth. Justice Thomas's wife, Ginny Thomas, 82 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: was deeply involved in the January six Stop the Steel movement. 83 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: Above the Virginia home of Justice Alito and his wife, 84 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Martha and Alito flew an upside down American flag, a 85 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: strong political statement among the people who stormed the capital. 86 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: Above Alito's beach home in New Jersey flew another flag 87 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: that has been adopted by groups opposed to President Biden. 88 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: Justices Alito and Thomas face a ground swell of appeals 89 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: beseeching them not to participate in the Trump v. United States, 90 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: the case that will decide whether or not mister Trump 91 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: enjoys absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, and Fisher v. United States, 92 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: which will decide whether January sixth insurrectionists and mister Trump 93 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: can be charged under a statute that criminalizes corruptly obstructing 94 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: an official proceeding. Justice Alito said on Wednesday that he 95 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: would not refuse himself from the January sixth related cases. 96 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: Everyone assumes. Jamie goes on to write that nothing can 97 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: be done about the recusal situation because the highest court 98 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: in the land has the lowest ethical standards. Each justice 99 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: decides for him or herself whether he or she can 100 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: be impartial. Of course, Justice Alito and Thomas could choose 101 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: to recuse themselves. Wouldn't that be nice? But begging them 102 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: to do right the right thing misses a far more 103 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: effective course of action. This is the part that I 104 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: want all of you to pay attention to the US 105 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, including the US Attorney for the District 106 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: of Columbia and appointed US Special Counsel, and the Solicitor 107 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: General General, all of whom were involved in different ways 108 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: in the criminal prosecutions underlying these cases and are opposing 109 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: mister Trump's constitutional statutory claims, can petition the other seven 110 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves, 111 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: not as a matter of grace, but as a matter 112 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: of law. The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland, 113 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: you all know how I fucking feel about him, can 114 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: invoke two powerful textual authorities of this motion, the Constitution 115 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: of the United States, specifically the due process Clause and 116 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: the Federal statute mandating judicial disqualification for questionable impartiality twenty 117 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: eight usc. Section four fifty five. The Constitution has come 118 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: into play in several recent Supreme Court decisions striking down 119 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: rulings by stubborn judges in lower courts whose political impartiality 120 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: has been reasonably questioned, but who threw caution to the 121 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: win to hear cases anyway. You see, folks, we actually 122 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: have laws. It is not up to these justices to 123 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: decide for themselves what cases they can or cannot be 124 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: impartial on. Because I want to tell you what if 125 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: Sonia saw to mayor or any of the other justices 126 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: were to be flying a flag that was, I don't know, 127 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: maybe said black Lives Matter, maybe it's said Latino Heritage 128 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: Month should be every month. Whenever the fucking case was, 129 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: you can guarantee that it would be fodder for right 130 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: wing media, that the pressure would mount, and that Democrats 131 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: would probably fucking join with the Republicans in kicking them 132 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: off the bench. So how is it that we have 133 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: these cases that are sitting before these justices whose wives 134 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: have been absolutely and thoroughly involved with trying to overturn 135 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: an election and airing their desire for I don't know, 136 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: a constitutional less America, and they're allowed to consider whether 137 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: or not Donald Trump should have absolute immunity. It doesn't 138 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: make any sense, and we we should stop acting like 139 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: these justices are above the law. Fucking Roberts doesn't want 140 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: to show up at the Senate Judiciary, then I don't know, 141 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: hold him in contempt. Figure out with other constitutional lawyers 142 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: how you compel this man that is running a rogue, 143 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: right wing weaponized Supreme Court to show up, right that 144 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: you force him to, because I'm pretty sure that if 145 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: it was on the Democrats side, we wouldn't even be 146 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: having this conversation. I want Democrats to stop acting as 147 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: if their hands are tied behind their backs, and that 148 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: we are betting on the better angels of people that 149 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: are heartless, that have no angels. We need to stop 150 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: assuming the best in people that continue to show us 151 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: the worst. It just doesn't make any fucking sense speaking 152 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: of people showing us their worst. I would be remiss 153 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: if I did not also bring us back to the 154 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: horrific fucking images of Nicki Haley in fucking Israel signing 155 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: bombs that have ripped babies. Apart to say that Nicki 156 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Haley is depraved, I think would be too fucking kind. 157 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: She is a fucking poor excuse of a human being. 158 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: She is disgusting. Her actions this week should disqualify her 159 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: from ever being able to run for office, let alone 160 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: hold any office. And the fact that she would use 161 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: what every country right is beginning to see and refer 162 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: to as a genocide as her VP fucking rehearsal is 163 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: some bullshit. Any bit of consciousness that we thought that 164 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley could muster because she decided to go toe 165 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: to toe with Donald Trump, we know now was nothing 166 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: more than political theater. That she is willing to go 167 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: above and beyond her as actually, to the fucking gutter, 168 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: to the sewers, in order to be considered a VP 169 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: pick for Trump. She is fucking disgusting. You know, I 170 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: can remember when screams or four hundred dollars haircuts could 171 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: get you booted out of the political sphere, But somehow 172 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 1: signing bombs or shooting dogs another Republican woman favorite pastime 173 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: is okay. What folks need to understand is that this 174 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: Republican Party embraces violence. They love it. It is their 175 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: energy boosts, It is what drives this party now. Their 176 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: desire to cause harm, to cause grief, to cause trauma 177 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,359 Speaker 1: without any accountability is their goal. And if given the opportunity, 178 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: because folks want to sit around and talk about, they're 179 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: going to protest the vote because you think that throwing 180 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: away your vote to some bullshit third party this time 181 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: around of all fucking elections, when our democracy is hanging on, 182 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: is what you want to do. Tell me how that 183 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: is going to help the people in Gaza and Rafa 184 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: When you have the potential VP signing bombs and the 185 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: rest of the Republicans saying bulldoze it, finish them off. 186 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: How do you think your third party fucking vote is 187 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: going to line up with this shit. We don't always 188 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: get to do the things that we want to do. 189 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: That's called adulthood, right. Some decisions that we make fucking suck, 190 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: but we make them nonetheless because we have to, because 191 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: we are adulting. We have to pay bills, we have 192 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: to pay taxes, we have to go to work, and 193 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: we also have to vote to save our democracy. And 194 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: that does not mean throwing away your vote on fucking 195 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: RFK Junior or Cornell fucking West. I can't express to 196 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: people how fucking stupid that is, and not only stupid, 197 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: but dangerous. And you know I'm not one that likes 198 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: to talk down to people because I'm like, oh, you 199 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: can make whatever decision that you want. Yeah, you can 200 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: make whatever decision that you want when it was the primaries. 201 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: Not when we're entering into the general election. No, you cannot. 202 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: I am so sorry for you, because if you think 203 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: that I find any joy or I'm out here rocking 204 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: a Biden T shirt, I am not. But I know 205 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: that as a black, queer woman, child of immigrants in 206 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: this fucking country, I am not about to fucking put 207 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: more fuel and ammunition into trump Ism by throwing my 208 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: vote away, even if I live in New York. So 209 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: for you all that are finding these days tough, I 210 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: want you to multiply that times a million, because that 211 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: is what it will be like under a Trump regime 212 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: that will never leave, that will arrest democratic members of Congress, 213 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: political opponents, throw them in jail. Oh, where is their trial? 214 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: We're considering them terrorists. They don't need a trial. That's 215 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: what will happen. Oh, we can't possibly happen here. Give 216 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: me a fucking break. It will happen so fast it 217 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: will make our head spin. So we have one opportunity 218 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: in November to get rid of Donald Trump. As everybody 219 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: is waiting around and by the time that this show airs, 220 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, there may finally be a verdict. But what 221 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: does that actually mean? If Donald Trump is found guilty. 222 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: Do you think that he's going to be hauled off 223 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: there and thrown in jail. No, because he has the 224 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: money and the lawyers to appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, like 225 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: he has done in every other fucking case. He's not 226 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: going to be remanded into the prison. Right, you can 227 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: await your appeal there. If only Donald Trump would be 228 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: treated like anybody else. But well, you know that that's 229 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: not the case. So I'm not holding my breath on 230 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: this case or any of the other ones that are pending, 231 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: because the most important case is whether or not the 232 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: American people in November are going to decide that they 233 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: want to see this project we call democracy through that 234 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: they want to give generations of young Americans the opportunity 235 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: to do a better job than the older generations have 236 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: in destroying our environment, in destroying women's access to bodily autonomy, 237 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: in destroying affirmative action. Right. But if Donald Trump becomes 238 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: president for life, and then there's a Trump dynasty and 239 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: it's passed down to fucking Eric and Ivanka and this 240 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: person and that person. It can't happen here, it has 241 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: happened in other countries. Dictators are always elected democratically and 242 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: then they tear down the very institution that got them. Folks, 243 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: the times are hard, they are dark, and they're not 244 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: getting better. But what is happening is that people are 245 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: becoming more conscious, people are becoming more woke, and that matters. 246 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: I wish that it didn't take the deaths of fifty 247 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: thousand Palestinians for people to recognize that Israel is running 248 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: in apartheid state. I wish that it didn't take babies 249 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: being ripped apart the images of children watching their parents 250 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: lay burnt on the ground for the world to recognize 251 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: that something is wrong here, and not just here, but 252 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: almost everywhere in every corner of this planet. America is 253 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: no innocent. America is the biggest perpetuator of violence around 254 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: the world. But we have an opportunity to push this 255 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: president because in a second term, Biden is not going 256 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: to be facing another election, so we honestly has nothing 257 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: left to lose except his legacy, which I actually believe 258 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: that he cares about. So I would rather continue to 259 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: fight for the expansion of freedom with a Biden in adminished 260 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: in place, then be fighting for my life with a 261 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: Trump regime installed. Those are the decisions that we have 262 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: to make. Those are the tough pills that I continue 263 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: to say that we are going to swallow because what 264 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: is at stakes too much for me to sit idly 265 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: by and tell you vote your conscience. Fuck that, vote 266 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: for justice, vote for freedom, vote for bodily autonomy, vote 267 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: for clean air, vote for clean water. And there is 268 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: only one candidate out of this bullshit two choices that 269 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: we have that believes in any of that. It is 270 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: not just one issue that is going to lead this election. 271 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: It is every fucking issue that is at stake.
