WEBVTT - A Constitution-less America

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to wikf Daily with me

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>your girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Happy fuck it Friday. We've made it to the end

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.479
<v Speaker 1>of the week. Give yourselves a hug, Give yourselves a

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>high five. I don't know how you do that. I

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>guess by banging your hands together. Just applaud yourself, right,

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>because frankly, if we don't celebrate these little things, we'll

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>go insane. So what do I want to talk about today?

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm shaking my head for those of you that are

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>just listening to the audio, but if you are a

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>subscriber on Patreon, you're watching the video so you can

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>see me. But where do I want to begin? First off,

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to start with the Supreme Court. Fuck them,

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like honestly I can and not even begin to state

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>how fucking done I am with this Roberts Court. I

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>would say that they would go down in history as

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the worst Supreme Court, but I'm sure that book would

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>be banned. But the reality is is that the Roberts

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Court is hell bent on rolling back any bit of

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>progress that was made in the twentieth century and bringing

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>America back into the nineteenth century by giving full rein

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 1>to the NRA, by giving you full bodily autonomy over

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to men to dictate and jurisdic how women can move,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>whether or not we have children, how we have children,

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. But this latest slate of bullshit

0:01:53.920 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>around Alito's wife and the flying of these flags that

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>are in reverence to January sixth, that are wholly anti

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>American right, anti constitutional. What do I mean by anti constitutional?

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say, because I just literally made that up.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>You're anti the Constitution. You don't believe in the values

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the laws that dictate this country, right, Like, if you're

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>flying a flag that is an upside down American flag,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't believe in American values. So but somehow you're

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the Supreme Court telling the rest of us

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>what is right and what is wrong, what is law

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and order when you don't believe in the tenants of

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution. And for Alito's response to be like, oh, well,

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>my wife likes flying flags, Well, apparently women can have power,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>but only the power that Alito gives them, and it's

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>only one woman his wife go to fucking hell. And then,

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>as of the time of this recording, breaking news came

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>out that, uh, just John Roberts, who's being called before

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the Senate Judiciary says, yeah, I'm not coming because there

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>needs to be a separation of power. Are you fucking dumb?

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>So my response to the Senate Judiciary is, like, this

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>actually was not an invitation to a party that you

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>get to turn down. Like we're actually going to hold

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you in contempt, right, Like we are ordering you to

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>come to sit before this body and explain to us

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>how you have two incredibly unethical, fucking justices on your

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>court that you're doing nothing about. I want to bring

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>something to folks' attention. And this is an op ed

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that was written by former guest of the show, representative

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Raskin in the New York Times. It's entitled how

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to force Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves in

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the January sixth case? Right, Because here's the thing. Not

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>only is fucking Alito's wife flying insurrectionist flags at their homes,

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>but we know that Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginny, was actively

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a part of trying to discredit our votes and overturn

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the election of twenty twenty. Of course, Merrick Garland and

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>his spineless fucking ass has not hauled in Ginny Thomas, right,

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>has not brought charges against her because oh, we don't

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be seen as a political entity. Well here's

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a fucking tip, regardless of whether or not you follow

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the rule of law, which would have you look at

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Ginny Thomas, look into her spending her money, because you

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>know she's literally in bed with the Supreme Court justice.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>There are actual rules right that should be followed, that

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>are dictated. But for Republican I guess it's just you know,

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a please ken you not necessary because they live above

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the law. So here's what Jamie Raskin wrote, quote. Many

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>people have gloomily accepted the conventional wisdom that because there

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 1>is no binding Supreme Court ethics code, there is no

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>way to force Associate Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to recuse themselves from the January sixth cases that are

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>before the Court. Justice's alitos, Alito and Thomas are probably

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>making the same assumption, but all of them are wrong.

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 1>It seems unfathomable that two justices could get away with

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>deciding for themselves whether they can be impartial in ruling

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>on cases affecting Donald Trump's liability for crimes he is

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>accused of committing on January sixth. Justice Thomas's wife, Ginny Thomas,

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>was deeply involved in the January six Stop the Steel movement.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Above the Virginia home of Justice Alito and his wife,

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Martha and Alito flew an upside down American flag, a

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 1>strong political statement among the people who stormed the capital.

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Above Alito's beach home in New Jersey flew another flag

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>that has been adopted by groups opposed to President Biden.

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Justices Alito and Thomas face a ground swell of appeals

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>beseeching them not to participate in the Trump v. United States,

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>the case that will decide whether or not mister Trump

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>enjoys absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, and Fisher v. United States,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>which will decide whether January sixth insurrectionists and mister Trump

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>can be charged under a statute that criminalizes corruptly obstructing

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>an official proceeding. Justice Alito said on Wednesday that he

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>would not refuse himself from the January sixth related cases.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Everyone assumes. Jamie goes on to write that nothing can

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>be done about the recusal situation because the highest court

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in the land has the lowest ethical standards. Each justice

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>decides for him or herself whether he or she can

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>be impartial. Of course, Justice Alito and Thomas could choose

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to recuse themselves. Wouldn't that be nice? But begging them

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to do right the right thing misses a far more

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>effective course of action. This is the part that I

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>want all of you to pay attention to the US

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice, including the US Attorney for the District

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of Columbia and appointed US Special Counsel, and the Solicitor

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>General General, all of whom were involved in different ways

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>in the criminal prosecutions underlying these cases and are opposing

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>mister Trump's constitutional statutory claims, can petition the other seven

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves,

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>not as a matter of grace, but as a matter

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of law. The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you all know how I fucking feel about him, can

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>invoke two powerful textual authorities of this motion, the Constitution

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, specifically the due process Clause and

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the Federal statute mandating judicial disqualification for questionable impartiality twenty

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>eight usc. Section four fifty five. The Constitution has come

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>into play in several recent Supreme Court decisions striking down

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>rulings by stubborn judges in lower courts whose political impartiality

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>has been reasonably questioned, but who threw caution to the

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>win to hear cases anyway. You see, folks, we actually

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>have laws. It is not up to these justices to

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>decide for themselves what cases they can or cannot be

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>impartial on. Because I want to tell you what if

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Sonia saw to mayor or any of the other justices

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>were to be flying a flag that was, I don't know,

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:06.959
<v Speaker 1>maybe said black Lives Matter, maybe it's said Latino Heritage

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Month should be every month. Whenever the fucking case was,

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you can guarantee that it would be fodder for right

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>wing media, that the pressure would mount, and that Democrats

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>would probably fucking join with the Republicans in kicking them

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>off the bench. So how is it that we have

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>these cases that are sitting before these justices whose wives

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 1>have been absolutely and thoroughly involved with trying to overturn

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>an election and airing their desire for I don't know,

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a constitutional less America, and they're allowed to consider whether

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>or not Donald Trump should have absolute immunity. It doesn't

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>make any sense, and we we should stop acting like

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>these justices are above the law. Fucking Roberts doesn't want

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to show up at the Senate Judiciary, then I don't know,

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>hold him in contempt. Figure out with other constitutional lawyers

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>how you compel this man that is running a rogue,

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>right wing weaponized Supreme Court to show up, right that

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you force him to, because I'm pretty sure that if

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>it was on the Democrats side, we wouldn't even be

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>having this conversation. I want Democrats to stop acting as

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>if their hands are tied behind their backs, and that

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>we are betting on the better angels of people that

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>are heartless, that have no angels. We need to stop

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>assuming the best in people that continue to show us

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the worst. It just doesn't make any fucking sense speaking

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of people showing us their worst. I would be remiss

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>if I did not also bring us back to the

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>horrific fucking images of Nicki Haley in fucking Israel signing

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>bombs that have ripped babies. Apart to say that Nicki

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Haley is depraved, I think would be too fucking kind.

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 1>She is a fucking poor excuse of a human being.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>She is disgusting. Her actions this week should disqualify her

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>from ever being able to run for office, let alone

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>hold any office. And the fact that she would use

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>what every country right is beginning to see and refer

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to as a genocide as her VP fucking rehearsal is

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>some bullshit. Any bit of consciousness that we thought that

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Haley could muster because she decided to go toe

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to toe with Donald Trump, we know now was nothing

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>more than political theater. That she is willing to go

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>above and beyond her as actually, to the fucking gutter,

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to the sewers, in order to be considered a VP

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>pick for Trump. She is fucking disgusting. You know, I

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>can remember when screams or four hundred dollars haircuts could

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>get you booted out of the political sphere, But somehow

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:44.599
<v Speaker 1>signing bombs or shooting dogs another Republican woman favorite pastime

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>is okay. What folks need to understand is that this

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party embraces violence. They love it. It is their

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>energy boosts, It is what drives this party now. Their

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>desire to cause harm, to cause grief, to cause trauma

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:15.359
<v Speaker 1>without any accountability is their goal. And if given the opportunity,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>because folks want to sit around and talk about, they're

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>going to protest the vote because you think that throwing

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>away your vote to some bullshit third party this time

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 1>around of all fucking elections, when our democracy is hanging on,

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>is what you want to do. Tell me how that

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is going to help the people in Gaza and Rafa

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>When you have the potential VP signing bombs and the

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>rest of the Republicans saying bulldoze it, finish them off.

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you think your third party fucking vote is

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>going to line up with this shit. We don't always

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 1>get to do the things that we want to do.

0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>That's called adulthood, right. Some decisions that we make fucking suck,

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>but we make them nonetheless because we have to, because

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>we are adulting. We have to pay bills, we have

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to pay taxes, we have to go to work, and

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we also have to vote to save our democracy. And

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that does not mean throwing away your vote on fucking

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>RFK Junior or Cornell fucking West. I can't express to

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>people how fucking stupid that is, and not only stupid,

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but dangerous. And you know I'm not one that likes

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk down to people because I'm like, oh, you

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>can make whatever decision that you want. Yeah, you can

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>make whatever decision that you want when it was the primaries.

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Not when we're entering into the general election. No, you cannot.

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I am so sorry for you, because if you think

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that I find any joy or I'm out here rocking

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a Biden T shirt, I am not. But I know

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that as a black, queer woman, child of immigrants in

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this fucking country, I am not about to fucking put

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>more fuel and ammunition into trump Ism by throwing my

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>vote away, even if I live in New York. So

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>for you all that are finding these days tough, I

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>want you to multiply that times a million, because that

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 1>is what it will be like under a Trump regime

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that will never leave, that will arrest democratic members of Congress,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>political opponents, throw them in jail. Oh, where is their trial?

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>We're considering them terrorists. They don't need a trial. That's

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>what will happen. Oh, we can't possibly happen here. Give

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>me a fucking break. It will happen so fast it

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>will make our head spin. So we have one opportunity

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>in November to get rid of Donald Trump. As everybody

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is waiting around and by the time that this show airs,

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, there may finally be a verdict. But what

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>does that actually mean? If Donald Trump is found guilty.

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that he's going to be hauled off

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>there and thrown in jail. No, because he has the

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>money and the lawyers to appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, like

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>he has done in every other fucking case. He's not

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be remanded into the prison. Right, you can

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>await your appeal there. If only Donald Trump would be

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>treated like anybody else. But well, you know that that's

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>not the case. So I'm not holding my breath on

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>this case or any of the other ones that are pending,

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 1>because the most important case is whether or not the

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>American people in November are going to decide that they

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>want to see this project we call democracy through that

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>they want to give generations of young Americans the opportunity

0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to do a better job than the older generations have

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in destroying our environment, in destroying women's access to bodily autonomy,

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 1>in destroying affirmative action. Right. But if Donald Trump becomes

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>president for life, and then there's a Trump dynasty and

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it's passed down to fucking Eric and Ivanka and this

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>person and that person. It can't happen here, it has

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 1>happened in other countries. Dictators are always elected democratically and

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>then they tear down the very institution that got them. Folks,

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the times are hard, they are dark, and they're not

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>getting better. But what is happening is that people are

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>becoming more conscious, people are becoming more woke, and that matters.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 1>I wish that it didn't take the deaths of fifty

0:17:55.440 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand Palestinians for people to recognize that Israel is running

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in apartheid state. I wish that it didn't take babies

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>being ripped apart the images of children watching their parents

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>lay burnt on the ground for the world to recognize

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.199
<v Speaker 1>that something is wrong here, and not just here, but

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 1>almost everywhere in every corner of this planet. America is

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 1>no innocent. America is the biggest perpetuator of violence around

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the world. But we have an opportunity to push this

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>president because in a second term, Biden is not going

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to be facing another election, so we honestly has nothing

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 1>left to lose except his legacy, which I actually believe

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 1>that he cares about. So I would rather continue to

0:18:55.720 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>fight for the expansion of freedom with a Biden in adminished

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in place, then be fighting for my life with a

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Trump regime installed. Those are the decisions that we have

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to make. Those are the tough pills that I continue

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to say that we are going to swallow because what

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:19.719
<v Speaker 1>is at stakes too much for me to sit idly

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>by and tell you vote your conscience. Fuck that, vote

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>for justice, vote for freedom, vote for bodily autonomy, vote

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>for clean air, vote for clean water. And there is

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>only one candidate out of this bullshit two choices that

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:39.479
<v Speaker 1>we have that believes in any of that. It is

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.679
<v Speaker 1>not just one issue that is going to lead this election.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 1>It is every fucking issue that is at stake. Vote accordingly,

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.960
