1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I am sure you are aware of the news that

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: broke over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which is that President

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter of his trumped

6
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: up federal charges where he was to receive sentencing in

7
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Now, I for one, am

8
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: actually shocked by the fact that Joe Biden managed to

9
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: muster the courage to do the right thing. Joe Biden

10
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: has been trapped inside of his presidency around returning America

11
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: to long gone norms that Donald Trump not only broke,

12
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: but doused in lighter fuel and then blew up over

13
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: the last nine years. When Donald Trump was leaving office,

14
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: not of his own volition, of course, in twenty twenty,

15
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: he pardoned a slew of his inner circle as well

16
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: as Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's father, all of them criminals,

17
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: whether they had been charged for grifting, whether they had

18
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: been charged with being potential foreign assets. I mean, you

19
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: name it from Paul Manifore, Rogers Stone, Steve Bannon, Charles Kushner,

20
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Mike Flynn. The list goes on of the people who

21
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: are criminals that Donald Trump pardoned. Hunter Biden is a

22
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: recovering addict who didn't fill out a form correctly and

23
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: evaded taxes for which he paid back with interest. How

24
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: is that even remotely similar to the lies in the

25
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: Griff that Steve Bannon did by telling people to send

26
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: him money and he's going to put a brick with

27
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: their name on it to build a wall when he

28
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: put that money in his pocket. Mike Flynn, who notoriously

29
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: did not register as a foreign agent for Russia and

30
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: is a foreign agent for Russia. And the list goes

31
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: on and on and on and so now you have

32
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: people on the right who have this faux outrage over

33
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden pardoning his son, and at the end of

34
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: the day, like I had posted on social media over

35
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: the weekend, I don't give a buck. I could care

36
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: absolutely less. There are plenty of things that I wish

37
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden would do on his way out the door,

38
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: knowing that he is never running for election again, knowing

39
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: that in many ways his legacy is tarnished. Right, whether

40
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: you look at aiding and abetting a war criminal in

41
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: nat Nyahu in Israel, whether you look at the fact

42
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: that he waited so long to say that he was

43
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: not going to be running for reelection, which in many

44
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: ways hampered the ability of Democrats to really fully rally

45
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: and get on board when Donald Trump had so much

46
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: runway from his appointment to Merrick Garland, the worst Attorney

47
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: general in the United States, who is the reason why

48
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is now set to be the forty seventh

49
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and probably last president of these United States. The list

50
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: goes on. We also know that Biden did a lot

51
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: of good things, rolling out the vaccine, relieving student loan debt,

52
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: lowering prescription drug costs, infrastructure in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment,

53
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: electing Katanji Brown Jackson, the first black woman to serve

54
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. Obviously, his running mate, Vice President

55
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, is the first female, Black and Asian Vice

56
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: president of these United States. And so, like I have

57
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: said from long time that Biden's legacy is going to

58
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: be very much a mixed bag, very much a mixed bag.

59
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: And when we're living in a time of lawlessness and

60
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: a crumbling empire, what does legacy actually mean? Anyway? That

61
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: will remain to be seen, but the pardoning of his

62
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: son is the least of the things that Joe Biden

63
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: will be remembered for. I just hope that now we

64
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: don't ever have to hunter Biden's name ever again. Moving

65
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: on from that, as I've been saying on the Daniel

66
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Moody Show on YouTube, I am not interested in doing

67
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: the blow by blow of all who is a part

68
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's cabinet. I am not doing shows on

69
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: every single announcement. I am not even participating on social

70
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: media with regard to every single announcement because, frankly, I

71
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: don't care. And why do I say that, Because, folks,

72
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I have spent how many years now on this podcast

73
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: talking about the dangers of Donald Trump getting into power again.

74
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: I have talked about how many people inside of Donald

75
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: Trump's circle are fascist and white nationalists. We already know

76
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: where this is going, right, because why I have been

77
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: talking about it for nearly a decade at this point.

78
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: But there are some people that I do think that

79
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: it's important to lift up, not in the way to say,

80
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, isn't this person insane, but also to

81
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: draw parallels to history that has loosely been left untilled

82
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: by the mainstream. So we have right now in the

83
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: place of potential FBI Director Cash Patel. Cash Patel is

84
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: a former federal prosecutor. He served I think in both

85
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: like an advisory position with the National Security Committee as

86
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: well as I think in some position within the FBI.

87
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: He is a right wing sycophant. He is a Trump loyalist.

88
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: He has said that one of the major roles that

89
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: the FBI needs to engage in is going after a

90
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: free press and going after Donald Trump's political opponents. Does

91
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: this sound like anything new to anybody? It doesn't. Most recently,

92
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: my girlfriend, who made the wrong decision of reading social

93
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: media before going to bed, gave herself all types of

94
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: anxiety and nightmares around the levers of power that Cash

95
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Puttel was going to have at his disposal as FBI director,

96
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: And then I had to remind her, and I'm going

97
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: to remind all of you. The FBI has long been

98
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: a very cedy organization with a lot of bad entities,

99
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: bad apples that have been at the helm. It is

100
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be a largely a political separate body, right

101
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: but we saw as recently with James Comy and his

102
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election as it pertained

103
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to investigating of Hillary Clinton and her email and what

104
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: part that played in tipping the scales for Donald Trump

105
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and smearing Hillary Clinton's name and painting her as some

106
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: type of alleged criminal. So you look back there, then

107
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: I say, go take a trip down memory lane to

108
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: the man who headed up the FBI as its first

109
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: director and was at the helm of the FBI for

110
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: nearly fifty years, which was j Edgar Hoover. J Edgar

111
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Hoover used the FBI to serve veil Martin Luther King

112
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: and other black liberationists, used the FBI to serve veil

113
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: citizens of this country who were against the Vietnam War,

114
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: those that he said were quote unquote communists in a

115
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: roundup of said individuals, largely found to be completely innocent

116
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: of the trumped up charges and due process which clearly

117
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: went out the window. And there are so many other

118
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: things that Jay Edgar Hoover did while head of the FBI.

119
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: So for us to again act as if things that

120
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing or is going to do are

121
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: new right, as if portions of the American population haven't

122
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: been under surveillance haven't been threatened, haven't been persecuted in

123
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: ways by our own government for doing nothing other than

124
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: wanting to be treated like full and equal citizens of

125
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: this country. The only difference with Donald Trump is that,

126
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: guess what, White people are going to get caught up

127
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: in the fray as well. But Black people in this

128
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: country are very well aware of how fucking corrupt the FBI,

129
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, and other agencies have been. As

130
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: it pertains to our communities, this shit is not new.

131
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: It just has new technology. And instead of lying and

132
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: having a veneer of accountability or bipartisanship, all Donald Trump

133
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: is doing is ripping that veneer down and being very

134
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: open and brazen about the things that have been done

135
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: undercover for decades at the hands of these agencies. You know, folks,

136
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm at a place where I am walking myself back

137
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: from my anxiety and depression because what I'm recognizing and

138
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: what I'm coming to understand is that this shit is

139
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: not new. Right. There are new players, and there will

140
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: be new technological tactics that are used with AI and

141
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: facial recognition and what have you. But we signed over

142
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: our rights to George W. Bush with the Patriot Act

143
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: in order to give away some of our civil liberties

144
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: in the name of safety following nine to eleven. So

145
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: to believe is if all has been on the up

146
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: and up with the United States and oh no, now,

147
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes Donald Trump and the

148
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: country is going down the tubes. Yes, in many ways

149
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: that is true. But also understand the real history that

150
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: America has been associated with and the dirt that America

151
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: has been doing. So once you start to kind of

152
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: wrap your mind around this, there is more of this

153
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: sense of like, okay, So if the ancestors figured out

154
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: how to move forward in times of strife and oppression

155
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: and heightened white supreme violence, then we will too. That

156
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: is what it's going to be. I continue to say

157
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are going to lose their

158
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: lives and their livelihood and their liberty right when all

159
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: is said and done. And we don't know when all

160
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: will be said and done, because it won't be two years,

161
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: it won't be four years, it will be a very

162
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: long time. But the fact is is that if we

163
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: want to understand how we move forward in this moment,

164
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: that I encourage everyone to actually begin to read history

165
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: and understand where we have been the real history. What

166
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: came up over the holiday, which I hope all of

167
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: you enjoyed with your family and friends. What came up

168
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: with my family as we were talking about politics and

169
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: like moving this country forward, is basically my mom said

170
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: to me, Danielle, you know what I'm realizing. And I

171
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: said what? And she said that America has been built

172
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: on nothing but lies. That everything that we have been

173
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: told about America is a lie. And she's like, and

174
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: the more that you learn, the more that your eyes

175
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: are open to the heinous, heinous history of America. So,

176
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: my mother, as you all know, is an immigrant. Right

177
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: she became a citizen about I think thirty or some

178
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: eight years ago from Jamaica, and so she had to

179
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: take right the citizens ship test. And I will tell

180
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: you that immigrants to this country are way more versed

181
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: in our history than natives of this country. We were

182
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,479
Speaker 1: lamenting the fact that my family gave up their citizenship

183
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: to their home because they never imagined that they would

184
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: be going back or need to go back to live there.

185
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: They had made it, they had made it to America,

186
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: and now here we all are where my family is

187
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: thinking about reinstating their Jamaican citizenship and moving back as

188
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: a point of safety and watching America crumple. They could

189
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: have never imagined thirty forty years ago when they arrived

190
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: that this is where we would be. And so it

191
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: is this unnerving that is happening right now in this

192
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: country where this idea of being woke is about being

193
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: conscious to reality, like waking up from a day dream

194
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: that would have had America be this shining beacon on

195
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a hill that just went around doing good in the

196
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: world and bringing democracy to places, and all of it

197
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: is bullshit. America only goes to places where they have

198
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: their own vested interests in that are steeped in capitalism,

199
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: manifest destiny, and wealth building. When we see other nations

200
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: that are being ravished by civil war, that are being

201
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: ravaged by horrible dictatorships, and we say, why is it

202
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: America intervening And people say, oh, well, we can't be everywhere. Bullshit,

203
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: We're not intervening because we have no vested interest in

204
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: that place and upholding right, humanity and basic decency isn't enough.

205
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: So it's like again, I had asked the question over

206
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: the holiday, did Donald Trump break America? Or did Donald

207
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Trump reveal America, and the response has been overwhelming that

208
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump revealed America to itself. He is just as

209
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: representative of who this country is and who it has

210
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: always been, as is Vice President Kamala Harris and Barack

211
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Obama and Joe Biden. Right, he too is America. And

212
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: it's not it's under belly. It's just what we have

213
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: chosen to look away from because the truth is really

214
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: dirty when you actually google Thanksgiving and you don't get

215
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: like the bullshit pilgrim and the oh and the feast

216
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: and this, that and the other thing that we lied about,

217
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: and instead it was a other fucking massacre to people

218
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: that were welcoming to the new settlers. And then the

219
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: response that they received was chicken pox, rape and torture

220
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: and murder. Then you understand that it wasn't oh, these wonderful,

221
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, religious people that came and settled to this

222
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: new world. It was a bunch of fucking barbarians. So,

223
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, folks, the thing that I just want to

224
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: offer is that sometimes the way forward is found by

225
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: looking backward, not resting in a place in the past,

226
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: but really understanding that again, what is being disrupted here

227
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: by Donald Trump is not actual laws but norms. What

228
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: he is doing is lifting a veil or the hood right.

229
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: And these people are proud white nationalists, whereas others that

230
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: have been in these positions have pretended and gas lit

231
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: the public into being something other than what they are.

232
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is is that America

233
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: has never lived up to its ideals and principles, and

234
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: there have always been people that have been living under

235
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 1: oppressive regimes and the thumb of white supremacy, the boot

236
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: of white supremacy and patriarchy. And we have used those

237
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: that have managed above all else to find themselves in

238
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: some form close to the top of the pyramid of hierarchy.

239
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: But the fact is is that those are the exceptions,

240
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: not the rule. So if we are to actually really

241
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: figure out a way forward, then we need to get

242
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: to the root of the root and stop pretending that

243
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: quote unquote, this isn't who we are, when in fact,

244
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: it is who America has always been. That is it

245
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: for me today, dear friends on wokf as always, power

246
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: to the people and to all the people. Power, get

247
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: woke and stay woke as fuck.
