WEBVTT - We Have To Save Ourselves

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>sign up for Patreon at patreon dot com slash WOKF.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Where do I want to begin on this good Wednesday?

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>And let me begin where I have been for the

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>last week, which is finding myself so absolutely fucking aggravated

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>with mainstream corporate media. Folks, when was the last time

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that you remember being in the same news cycle for

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>more more than a few hours? And I'll tell you

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the last time was the media's obsession with Hillary Clinton

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and her fucking emails. And where did that end us? Up? Right?

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>It ended up with Donald Trump becoming President of the

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>United States because thanks to Comy at the FBI, we're

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>going to reopen the case into Hillary Clinton's emails in

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>order to oh, look, find nothing. We're going to cover

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Hillary Clinton has had the flu, and

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>then we're going to run that story into the ground. Well,

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>this is the same fucking thing that is happening right

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>now with Joe Biden. They are looking for the chaos

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>inside of the Democratic Party. They are like a bunch

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of circling fucking vultures right now, just looking for bites

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and bits and things like that in order to bring

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>this president down. And you have to ask yourself why, right, Like,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what's the incentive here? And I have posted on social

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>media so many goddamn times that all of these networks

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that you get your news from are run by Trump's supporters,

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>they are run by Trump donors, They are in the

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>bag for Donald Trump. There has never been the type

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of coordination that we have seen happen against Joe Biden

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>since Hillary Clinton. It was the same media bullshit. Instead

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>of paying attention and elevating the existential crisis that is

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump two Hour Democracy and Project twenty twenty five,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>they're going to talk about Biden's age and him not

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>taking meetings after six pm. Well, if I recall correctly,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump didn't actually start work until about eleven or

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm pretty sure was

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>often time to go watch primetime Fox News at five o'clock,

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>So that motherfucker was putting in what five hours of

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>workaday maybe so miss me with the bullshit about a

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>schedule that an eighty one year old needs to take,

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, he's eighty one fucking years old. The

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>reality is is that Joe Biden has done more for

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>this country and taken on more shit than any other

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>president in history. Let's be honest. When Joe Biden entered

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>into office, five hundred thousand Americans had been killed because

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Trump refusing to tell people in this country

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to wear a mask to protect themselves and their neighbors. Instead,

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>he used a global health pandemic to further divide this

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>country for his authoritarian agenda. So that's number one. Within

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>six months, Joe Biden was able to get shots in

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>arms and stop the spread that was happening with COVID nineteen.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>That's number one. Number two, Donald Trum because of his

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>fucking tax cuts to the rich, had spiraled our economy

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>into a damn near recession. We were losing jobs, and

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>so Joe Biden comes in once again and gets the

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>economy back up and moving, which is according to headlines

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.679
<v Speaker 1>which you wouldn't see these headlines in the United States,

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>but you'll see them everywhere else. That America's post COVID

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>economy is the envy of the world. Joe Biden and

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris did that. Okay, then you want to talk

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>about the infrastructure bill bipartisan passed. We were waiting on

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>an infrastructure bill for the entire four years of Donald

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump's presidency. But you have to understand that Republicans do

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>not offer any policies that are about bettering America or

0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>helping Americans. Every policy that they put full is about

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>punishment and profit for the rich. That is it. So again,

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we're at a place right now where we have four

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>months until this election, and what I'm seeing from the media,

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>amped up by defectors from the Democratic Party, is a

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>call for Joe Biden to step aside because he had

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a bad debate. And the thing is, people say, oh,

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad debate, it's a medical crisis. I

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>don't give a fuck what it is. I'm going to

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>tell you that, like I've been saying, I don't care.

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 1>What I care about and what everyone else should care

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>about is the existential threat that is Donald Trump and

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Project twenty twenty five. Is the fact that on July first,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court gave the President of the United States

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>king like power. Donald Trump is a known serial criminal

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>who has had multiple trials, who is a convicted felon

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>and an alleged rapist, and he is still able to

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>run for the presidency without there being a bunch of

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>media outlets saying that this person should be ineligible to

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be president of the United States. Instead, when that happened,

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 1>you have New York Times saying, oh, do felonies even matter?

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Ask all of those tens of thousands of people with felonies,

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>largely people of color, who had trumped up charges, pun

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and fuck intended that can't get jobs because of the

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>check the box. Have you been convicted of a felony? Yes,

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>guess what, your application goes in the fucking garbage. So

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you can't get a job at Walmart, but you can

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>absolutely get a job as president of the United States.

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>And now the Supreme Court says that you're above the law.

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>So remember when Donald Trump called for the execution of

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>his vice president of the United States, Well, this time around,

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 1>he could just shoot that motherfucker in the head and

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>just keep it moving because you can do whatever you want.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Understand that the position that this country is in, we

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>are hanging on by a thread. And what I would

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>call on all Democrats to do is to actually act

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>like you give a fuck about power and you give

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a fuck about democracy. You want to talk about changing

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>horses halfway through a fucking race. And then on top

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of that, the misogyne war around going shopping for another

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking candidate when we have a very competent young Vice

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States and Kamala Harris, but we're

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have an open convention? Are you stupid? It is

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>just wild to me that Democrats will take a win

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and turn it into a loss, and take a loss

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and turn it into a devastation. That's what the fuck

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they're good at. And honestly, it is things like this

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that have me question my party allegiance and not just saying,

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, fuck it, I'm an independent because I

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>can believe in democracy, but not in a lot of

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats at this moment, because they are showing their entire

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>ass at a time when we need to be ironclad

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>in our support, ironclad in our conviction of who we

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>want to represent us, and that we understand what is

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>at stake. I will run through this again. Project twenty

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty five is calling for a national abortion ban. You

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>already have Republican senators that have introduced legislation that says

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>life begins at conception, so that they can also go

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>ahead and ban IVF and ban contraception. This is not

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 1>a secret. They want to take what has been done

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>in places like Texas and Florida and Mississippi and Alabama,

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 1>and they want to make it nation wise. Fuck states'

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>rights because when it comes to states wanting to have rights,

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you can have the right to take away rights from

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>other people, but the ability to be able to protect

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>your constituents in that state, m no. All bets will

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>be off because trust and believe in the way that

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump weaponized the federal government against the states during COVID,

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>just imagine what they will do this time around to

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>defund the state of California and New York. Nor do

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe that our current governor in New York is

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>up to the task of going toe to toe with

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump when I think that she's pretty much a

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Republican in sheep's clothing. So that's number one. The other

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>things that they would like to do, get rid of

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Education so that they can privatize education.

0:09:55.320 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>And put our taxpayer dollars towards religious schools and then

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>build up a bunch of charters that actually have no

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>real curriculum so that they can actually create a permanent

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>underclass in this country by privatizing our education. And for

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>those that get stuck going to a public school, I

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>guess you will bow down to pictures of Donald Trump

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Ten Commandments in every classroom, but you won't

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>have critical thought or be taught about slavery or any injustices,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>or black history or gender studies because all of those

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 1>things they would like to ban as well, because DEI

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to them, diversity, equity and inclusion is a dirty word,

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>and they definitely don't want inclusion whatsoever. So those folks

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that are less fortunate that have to rely on a

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>public education will be getting the fucking bare minimum in

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>terms of an education. That's what they want. They will

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>also get the e Noah. They will also take us

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>out of NATO and other alliances that we have so

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that they can realign the United States with a new

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>access of evil in Russia, in Saudi Arabia. So much

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>is at stake, and for anybody to say that Joe

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Biden isn't up to the job. That he's been doing

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>very well, relieving student loan debt even though his administration

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>was sued, and still continuing to find ways to relieve

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>students of the burden of hundreds of thousands of dollars

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 1>worth of debt, right to lower prescription drug costs, and

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>fighting back against big Pharma. These are things that this

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>administration has been doing. Putting up protections for trans students

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and LGBTQ students in schools, putting up federal guidance that

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>once again they are being sued for because there are

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>red state governors that want the ability to discriminate folks.

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I cannot express enough that four months is not a

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of time, and so we must maneuver ourselves out

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of the minutia, out of the bullshit, and rally the

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>people around us to what is at stake. We can

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>no longer put that responsibility on the media because they

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>have shown themselves to be inept. We can no longer

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>put that responsibility just on candidates because they have shown

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>themselves in many ways not to be loyal. We have

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to put the responsibility of saving our democracy at our

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>own feet, so that looks like you making calls and

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>connecting with voters that looks like you, if you have

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the financial ability, donating up and down the ballot. It

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>looks like having really hard conversations with family, friends, and

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>colleagues about what is at stake and not to gamble

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>with your vote. It looks like all of us activating

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>because no one is coming to save us. Much like

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>we did in twenty twenty, we are going to have

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to save our selves. Because Donald Trump and Republicans get

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch, all bets in this country are off.

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>It took mered days following the Trump administrations day one

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to institute the Muslim ban. It took them but a

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>few weeks to set up the camps that they would

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>have to hold undocumented migrants so that they can begin

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the process of taking children away from their families, children that,

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, still have never been reunited with their families.

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>So folks like the fact that people think that, oh,

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>we survived Donald Trump the first time around, and so

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll make it next time. You're not paying attention. Our

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>institutions are on life support. It took one man and

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>one party four years to begin the absolute unraveling of

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and forty eight years of democracy. And the

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>thing is that people need to understand is that we

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.359
<v Speaker 1>defeat Donald Trump in twenty twenty four, we buy ourselves

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>for years to get our acts together, to build the

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>pipeline to reshore our institutions. That's why we need the

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>House and the Senate and the White House to be

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>able to certify our democracy for generations to come. Because

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>guess what, Project twenty twenty five will just turn into

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Project twenty twenty eight when the next election comes. Republicans

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>have shown us who they are and they are not

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to be trusted ever again. So that means that every

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>election is indeed a consequential election because they want the

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>end of democracy. They want authoritarianism, and so does corporate media.

0:15:55.320 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>If we all know that there is co ordination and

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>strategy that is at play to fundamentally change this country

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and take away our rights, and they are telling us.

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation that is

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>behind Project twenty twenty five, said, we are in the

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>midst of an American second American revolution and it will

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>remain bloodless if the Left allows that to be, which

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>means that so long as we become willing subjects of

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the trunk regime, then we won't get hurt. But if

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>we dare exercise our rights as citizens, they'll take us

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>out and have no problem doing so. Folks, they are

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>saying this everywhere. So as Maya Angelou said, when people

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>show you who they are, believe them the first time.

0:16:55.480 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>For ten years, nearly a decade, we have been front

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:07.640
<v Speaker 1>row seats to the rise of Maga republicanism, to the

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>rise of white nationalism. They're marching down city streets. They

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>are in the courts, sitting on the Supreme Court, sitting

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in governor's mansions, chopping at the bit, ready to pull

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this country kicking and screaming back to the nineteenth century.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that stands between them and our future

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is us. So we can continue with the handwringing, We

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.719
<v Speaker 1>can continue with the bullshit misogynoir speculation around who the

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>next person should be, or we rally behind the candidate

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.159
<v Speaker 1>that we have and you fucking play the cards that

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you were dealt, and you play them well. I also,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 1>by the way, have absolutely no faith in the polls.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But you all know that because because we don't know

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>who's running those polls, we don't know the questions that

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 1>have been asked, we don't know to whom they've been asked,

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>So don't put a lot of faith in them either,

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>put faith in yourself and your community, because this is

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>when we need community organizing. This is when we need

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to be going door to door town by town, village

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>by village. As Steve Vannin said, that's what Democrats need

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to do is get out of our fucking screens, get

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>off of the fucking Internet, and go meet our goddamn

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 1>neighbors and get them on the same page. That's what

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:47.639
<v Speaker 1>needs to happen, because this narrative, this hit coordinated hit job,

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 1>is not going to end. They are going to pull

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the same shit that they did in twenty sixteen, and

0:18:54.880 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we cannot allow the outcome to be the same. Four months. Folks,

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>our democracy, our freedom, our way of life is on

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the ballot. This is not about supporting Joe Biden. This

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 1>is about supporting your future. So it's either going to

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>be them or it's going to be us. They already

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>have their plans in place to pull the same ballot

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>measure bullshit that they did back in twenty twenty and

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.400
<v Speaker 1>go into the courts, and you know, deny the election results,

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and do all of these things. We're the ones that

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we are waiting for. Act accordingly. That is it for

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 1>me today, Dear friends on wokf as always, power to

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the people and to all the people. Power, get woke

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and stay woke as fuck.
