1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: me your girl Danny L. Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: Happy Woke Wednesday. A couple of actual good pieces of

4
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: news that I want to delve into today. First, finally,

5
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: after roughly three weeks, the Federal Appeals Court came back

6
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: and said that no, Donald Trump, you cannot just continue

7
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: criming once you have left office and not face any

8
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: consequences whatsoever. That your absolute immunity for life once you

9
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: become president is bullshit. And so a panel of three judges,

10
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: two Democrats and one Republican decided unanimously in a three

11
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: to zero vote that Donald Trump's grounds for appeal on

12
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: this issue that Judge Chunkin initially ruled on is bullshit.

13
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: And so now their fifty seven page ruling, of course,

14
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: is going to be appealed either to the full I

15
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: think it is like the full panel of federal judges,

16
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: or most likely just going directly up to the Supreme Court,

17
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: which Donald Trump has stacked. Now, a couple of things

18
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: that I want to say about this and what I've

19
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: been hearing on the news since this broke, which is

20
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: one that the Supreme Court about to put themselves out

21
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: of a job if they don't just decide to not

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: hear this case, let the lower court's decisions stand and

23
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: move forward and allow Judge Chunkin to move forward with

24
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: her case. And why do I say that, Because if

25
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you have, if you are essentially the Supreme Court, and

26
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: you are going to rule in favor of Donald Trump,

27
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: you are ruling against your own power. And if there

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: is anything that this Supreme Court loves more than anything

29
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: in the fucking world, it is power. Right. And so

30
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: if you say that a president can go ahead and

31
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: crime as much as the fuck they want because everything

32
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: that they do can no longer be held to the

33
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: same rule of law that the rest of us are,

34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: then we are absolutely a fucking banana republic, right like,

35
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: there is no way around that understanding. So essentially, then

36
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: what do I need a Supreme Court for? If I

37
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: am a king right or a queen? If I am

38
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: you know the above all answer, and everything that I

39
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: say and do is right and is beyond reproach, what

40
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: the fuck do I need you for? I don't right.

41
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: And so the further that we inch towards full on

42
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: authoritarianism in this country, the less you are needed if

43
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: you are a judge, right, Because what do I have

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: judges for when I'm giving all power to one person? Right?

45
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: And so I really hope that the Supreme Court takes

46
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: that takes their ego and their own personal power into

47
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: consideration when deciding on this case. The fact, folks, you

48
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: know that we are even here, right, that this is

49
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: even up for debate, that it took three fucking weeks

50
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: for the circuit judges to come back and decide what

51
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: it is that we should have just known from jump.

52
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: If you commit crimes, you're not immune from those crimes.

53
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're the president of the United

54
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: States or a pauper in the street. Like there's one

55
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: set supposedly one set of laws, and becoming president of

56
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the United States does not make you immune to that fact.

57
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Donald trump sole reason to become president of the United

58
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: States again is to create a get out of jail

59
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: free card. Donald Trump knew that if he were able

60
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: to announce that he was running for the presidency, then

61
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: he could use that as a talking point that everything

62
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: is a witch hunt and that he alone again can

63
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: quote unquote fix it, right, that if they're coming after me,

64
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: then they're going to come after you. No, motherfucker. People

65
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: only go after right. Law enforcement only goes after people

66
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: when they commit crimes. Right. Do you see what I'm

67
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: saying here, Like people at your level, I'm not talking

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: about you know, the thousands upon thousands of black and

69
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: brown people that are serving out thirty forty fifty sixty

70
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: year life sentences right on some white supremacy bullshit that

71
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: they were that they were caught up in. And because

72
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of our broken system, which is not actually broken, it

73
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: is working to encage, rite and enslave black men and

74
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: women and brown people. Like if you are at the

75
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: level that Donald Trump is, and you have the complexion

76
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: for the protection Donald Trump now is just he wants

77
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: to go one step above what is normally afforded to white,

78
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: straight cis super wealthy and famous men and be like, no, no,

79
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: I'm really teflon don I'm really above reproach. And the

80
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: courts just said, no, the fuck you are not. So. Unfortunately,

81
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: this is not the last time that we are going

82
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: to hear this case, and it is going to be

83
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: put in the hands of the Supreme Court. Donald Trump

84
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: is already on his broke ass social medt platform lobbying

85
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court to do his bidding, which is what

86
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: he put them all in place for. And so we

87
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: will see, right, we will see, because I'm assuming you

88
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: know that Clarence Thomas will be on the side of

89
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Ginny and be on the side of his billion dollar

90
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: sugar daddy Harlan Crow and do whatever he is told

91
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: to do, step and fetch it. And I'm pretty sure

92
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: right that we have other folks that are hardcore aligned

93
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: with doing whatever Donald Trump wants. So, you know, sadly,

94
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: we are in a place where, you know, everything is

95
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: up for grabs, that there is no far gone you know,

96
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: conclusion to be made here and the assumption that like

97
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: justice will prevail, because that's not the reality that we

98
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: live in anymore. Nonetheless, this initial ruling is a blow

99
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump and his attorney's desire to say that

100
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: he can't even be charged whatsoever, and every case against

101
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: him should be dismissed because he shouldn't be able to

102
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: be persecuted because he was president of the United States.

103
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: And what the fifty seven page report said was just like, nah,

104
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: you are no longer president. You are just a regular

105
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: citizen like everybody else. So if you commit crime, you're

106
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: going to do some time, but most likely not. Next

107
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: up is what I think is actually really interesting another

108
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: case that I haven't really talked about here on the

109
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: show too much, but I think that it's worth noting,

110
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: which is the case of Jennifer Crumbly in Michigan. Now,

111
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Jennifer Crumbly, and this is according to the New York Times,

112
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: was convicted on four count of involuntary manslaughter, one for

113
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: each student that her son killed in Michigan's deadliest shooting.

114
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Now here's what is interesting about this case. Ethan Crumbley.

115
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: If you all remember when he was I believe fifteen

116
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: years old, he shot and killed four of his classmates

117
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: and injured several others. And the four classmates that were

118
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: killed Madison Baldwin seventeen, Tate Meyer sixteen, Justin Schilling seventeen,

119
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and Hannah Saint Juliana fourteen, and he pleaded guilty to

120
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty four charges, including first degree murder, and was sentenced

121
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: last year to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

122
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: This is the first case, however, that we have seen

123
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: where the parents of the shooter are also being held

124
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: responsible for the deaths that their son committed right. Why

125
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: is this well? Because Ethan crumbly Is was a clearly

126
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: mentally disturbed child that was found by teachers in class

127
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to be drawing pictures of bullets and guns and was

128
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: showing erratic behavior that was brought to the attention of

129
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: his parents on different occasions. On the day of the shooting,

130
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: his parents, I believe, were called into the school to

131
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: essentially take him the fuck home because they had noticed,

132
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: like some really unnerving behavior. They didn't take him home,

133
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: they also bought him a gun. He turns around, brings

134
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: it to school and killed four of his classmates, including

135
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: injuring several others, right, And basically the question that was

136
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: being asked was, how could you not have seen this? Right? Like,

137
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: how could you not have seen that your son was

138
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: having delusions right about ghosts and all of these things,

139
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: on top of which he was writing in journals about

140
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: killing people. And you think that the appropriate gift to

141
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: get this kid is not apparently a therapist, right and

142
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: some intervention, but is to get him a gun. Right.

143
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: So she is now both of the parents are on

144
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: trial and separate trials because they have both turned on

145
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: each other, and the one the father was blaming the mother,

146
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: the mother blaming the father as to why their son

147
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: committed this horrific mass shoot. So now she's been found

148
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: guilty and the maximum sentencing for manslaugh four counts of

149
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: manslaughter is fifteen years in prison. This is incredibly significant, right,

150
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: This is significant for so many reasons because you can't

151
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: sue the gun manufacturers, right, Congress has made that impossible

152
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,479
Speaker 1: to do. So who are you left to hold accountable

153
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: when a school shooting like this takes place? Is it

154
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: not the job of the parent right to know what

155
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: the fuck your kid is doing and up to? And

156
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: maybe if parents now who have guns and own guns

157
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: can now see that, if in fact, your kid is

158
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: not okay and shoots up an entire school, that they're

159
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: not the only ones that are going to fucking jail,

160
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: And maybe that will be a deterrent. Maybe that will

161
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: be something that begins to hold people accountable. I don't know,

162
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just pie in the sky thinking, right, Because

163
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: as Jonathan and I have talked about on so many

164
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: occasions and will again this week in terms of his

165
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: new book, what We've become Living and Dying in a

166
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: Country of Arms, which is that the approach that we

167
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: have had as Democrats in talking about gun reform has

168
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: been from a moral standpoint right in terms of shifting

169
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: hearts and minds and doing what is morally right, because

170
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: we assumed that everyone would be aligned with the fact

171
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: that children should not have to learn how to army crawl,

172
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: that we shouldn't be turning whiteboards into safe rooms, right

173
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: and doing all everything the bulletproof backpacks and the like,

174
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: that our children should be protected. But we don't all

175
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:12,359
Speaker 1: agree on that because guns for white people, but particularly

176
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: from white men, are tied to their power, privilege, and

177
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: masculinity in this country. And so you know, we look

178
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: at this decision. I still look at this decision as

179
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: a win. But if we want to win the actual

180
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: war that we are in, then we need to be

181
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: looking at this not through the vantage point of trying

182
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: to shift and change hearts and minds, but trying to

183
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: win the power necessary to put the judges that are

184
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: in place that actually give a shit about the fact

185
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: that we have five hundred million guns in circulation in

186
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: this country. That is two and a half guns for

187
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: every human, every person in this country. There's only three

188
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: hun and thirty million people, but there are five hundred

189
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: million guns. Make it make sense? It does not, you know, folks,

190
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: I say, you know, I bring up these two cases

191
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: and these two initial wins, knowing that these cases will wind,

192
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, their way through. I think that Crumbly's is

193
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: pretty much done, right like, I think that she going

194
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: to jail. It's just going to be about what the

195
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: sentencing looks like. Does she get the maximum do does

196
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, does she only get a few years? And

197
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: then what will now how will this affect her her

198
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: husband's case, which is coming up in a few weeks,

199
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: right like, so that will be something to watch. But

200
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I want to change gears because I want to talk

201
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: about the presidential election and the fact that a recent

202
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: poll came out that showcases the fact that a majority

203
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: of Americans, sixty percent of Americans believe that Joe Biden

204
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: is doing a terrible fucking job when it comes to

205
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: the Middle East, when it comes to Israel and Gaza

206
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: right now, and that while we want to say that

207
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: this issue is extraordinarily complicated and people are only getting

208
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: woke to things, you know, right now, and they don't

209
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: understand the intricacies of what is happening in the history

210
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: of this land, and bah blah blah blah blah. The

211
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: reality is is that people know right from wrong most

212
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: of the time, and they know right now as they

213
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: are scrolling through their social media and they are seeing war,

214
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: the ravages of war, the baby that are being left

215
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: for dead right because hospitals are being evacuated and AID

216
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: can no longer get in, the people that are starving

217
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: to death because the Israeli government will not allow AID

218
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: to get into certain places, bombing the shit out of

219
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: civilians right, tell them to go north, then we bomb

220
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the north. Tell them to go south, We bomb the south,

221
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: and then there's just nowhere else to go. Right, And

222
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,479
Speaker 1: the fact is that our tax dollars have been forever

223
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: since the creation of Israel, have been going to fund

224
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: right and apartheid system that has different roads, different license plates,

225
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: different laws, different housing, different restrictions for Palestinians versus Israelis.

226
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: You do not need to be a fucking Middle Eastern historic,

227
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, historian to understand how fucked up that is. Right,

228
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: And so if folks are just getting woke to this now,

229
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say, oh, well, where were you blah

230
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: blah blah, blah. The fact is you know now, and

231
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: what you know now is not fucking sitting right with you,

232
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: and I get that. What I also get is that

233
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: if in fact, Donald Trump is able to steal this

234
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: election because of people's opinion about how Biden is working

235
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: in look, I am with you. What I am saying

236
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: is the Palestinian people will have zero fucking chance if

237
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Trump becomes president. You cannot fight for other people's liberation

238
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: when you are no longer free. That's what I want

239
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: people to understand. Some election. They're not about progression, they

240
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: are just about holding on. And I will continue to

241
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: say that over and over and over again. Do I

242
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: think that what this administration is doing is write apps

243
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: a fucking lutely? Not? Absolutely not. What I also know

244
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: is that Donald Trump will be the end of this

245
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: country as we know it. Project twenty twenty five lays

246
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: that all the way out on the Heritage Foundation's page

247
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: Heritage foundation dot org. Pull up the report. What do

248
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: they put in place? There? A nine hundred page plan

249
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: on how they are going to rid government agencies of

250
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: career appointed people with institutional knowledge of how government works

251
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: so that they can gut the system and rig it

252
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: for Trumpism. How are they gonna do that because they

253
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: already have a database of twenty thousand people to who

254
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: have been vetted, who have received training on how to

255
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: dismantle the agencies from the inside out. There will be

256
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: no fucking recourse, right because what Donald Trump wanted to

257
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: do when people were protesting during this summer of twenty

258
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty in front of the White House, he wanted to

259
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: shoot those people in the leg General Milly said, Uh, yeah,

260
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: we can't do that, that's against the law. Donald Trump said, eh,

261
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: there will be no General Milly. And when Donald Trump says,

262
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: pull out the tanks, shoot him in the legs, round

263
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: them up. They're all a threat to our country. Who

264
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna stop him? And before you say that can never happen,

265
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: let me remind you of Japanese internment camps World War two.

266
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: Rounded up all Japanese Americans, put them in camps, no

267
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: due process, no nothing, because they were considered enemies of

268
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: the state. That's all that the president would have to utter.

269
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: We are already watching how universities are firing presidents, as

270
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: they did Claudine Gay at Harvard, as the other president

271
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: resigned in at Penn State. There's already attacks on higher

272
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: education and academics where critical thought and free thought thrives.

273
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: You go after the professors and the academic institutions first.

274
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: You make examples of them. You blacklist people for speaking

275
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: their truth, You put them on lists. One of the

276
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: things that they'd love to do with the Heritage Foundation

277
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: is to create a new McCarthyism. As a matter of fact,

278
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: the head of the Heritage Foundation said in a very

279
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: fluffy New York Times piece that was done a couple

280
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: of weeks back, is that McCarthy went about things wrong,

281
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: but his you know, what he was trying to do

282
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: wasn't terrible. His strategy just was I'm sorry, what the

283
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: red scare rounding up those that were just labeled communists

284
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: that had nothing to do with communism, but you saw

285
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: them as a threat. Joe McCarthy, that is held out

286
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: as like a red flag. But the Heritage Foundation president

287
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: thinks that he's a model. Wake up, folks, you ain't

288
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: getting another bite at this apple. If we give this

289
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: election to Donald Trump by virtue of the fact that

290
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: we decide that we are sitting home because we don't

291
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: like what is happening in Palestine and Gaza, you don't

292
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: like what is happening in Gaza, then I tell you

293
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: to actually vote for the person that you can pressure,

294
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: that you can push, not the one that sees themselves

295
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: as a dictator on day fucking one and think that

296
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: you'll just get him again in twenty twenty eight. There

297
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: will be no twenty twenty eight. That's all I have

298
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: to say today, folks, on this Woke Wednesday, A little

299
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: bit of good news and a lot of reality. What

300
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: is it for me today, dear friends on woke A app

301
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: as always power to the people and to all the people. Power,

302
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
