WEBVTT - The Devolution of America 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.239 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.799 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording live ish from my 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.000 Brooklyn Cilariam. Folks, let me just tell you that I 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.360 believe that Republicans are trying to kill us. Are trying 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.320 to kill every American one way or the other. Whether 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.559 it's through guns, right and their love affairs with guns, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:38.760 whether it's through their love affair with covidum, through their 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:46.800 love affair with supporting and celebrating violence. Um. I want 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.040 to take this week and what is happening in this 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:55.959 country right now. You know, sometimes it strikes me how 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:03.480 fast America has devolved it. You know, I remember somebody 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.080 recently posted on Twitter a tweet that I put out 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.200 right after the election, and it was a clip of 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.160 me on woke af going off about the fifty three 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.759 percent of white women that voted for Donald Trump against 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:27.679 someone that looked like them. And because of that, because 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:33.360 of their allegiance to patriarchy and white supremacy, we are 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.160 in this hell hole, this cesspool, this democracy light, which 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.600 by the end of twenty twenty two, when that is 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:47.240 our final free and fair election, will be democracy less. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.520 It won't be a democracy, it'll be some hybrid sham 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.520 bullshit that we live in. Maybe part theocracy being is 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.560 how it's white evangelical Christians who are getting everything that 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.800 they fuck want first. It's rov Wade right, if you 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.080 were paying attention to what is happening at the Supreme 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.880 Court right now and listening listening to what the justices 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.480 Trump justices on the Supreme Court have said about the 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:18.480 Mississippi fifteen week band that undermines, guts, destroys rov Wade, 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.000 a law that has been on the books for damn 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:27.760 near fifty fucking years. For fifty years, Republicans have had 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:33.120 a long playbook that they have been using fifty years. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.600 It has been their desire to once again take over 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:48.920 the control of people's uteruses, right to control women and how, when, 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:54.200 if where they decide to have children. Amy Covid fucking 0:02:54.320 --> 0:03:01.720 Barrett said after the two hours of debate said during 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.600 the two hours of opening arguments for this case that 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:12.320 she doesn't understand why we even need Casey or Roe v. Wade, 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.200 because there are safe havens all over the country, So 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:23.000 people should be forced to into giving birth because there 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:28.480 are adoptions that take place, because we don't even do 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.760 a good job of dealing with our current foster care 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:38.000 system in this country. But yeah, we should force women 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:45.120 to go through nine months of pregnancy that they don't want. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.520 What in the hopes that because you are forcing them 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.720 that they will change their minds? Or oh, look at 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.080 what a delight. We'll give it to this loving couple, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.880 so long as they're not gay, so long as they're 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:02.800 not queer. Right. It makes me fucking sick that we 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.520 are here, we are in this state of what is 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:12.839 soon to be disrepair. I mean, I don't think that 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320 we are going to get to the other side. I 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.720 don't think that we are ever going to be safe. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.040 I don't know how to express this without sounding alarmists, 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:33.160 But when I shared the tweet after the election, I 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.000 was so fucking angry because all I could hear in 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.960 my mind were the comments about Hillary Clinton's emails, and 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.159 you know about I don't like her. You know, there's 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.920 just something about her I don't like. Yes, she's a strong, powerful, thoughtful, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:53.080 brilliant woman, right who America refused to fucking listen to 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.560 When she told you exactly who the fuck these people were, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.680 She said that they were deplora. She said that they 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.920 were not to be trusted. She said that Donald Trump 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.680 was Putin's puppet. She said that the Supreme Court would fall. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.560 She wasn't a fucking oracle, but she knew what Republicans 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.400 are up to because she has known what they have 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.640 been up to. It's everyone else that's looking around going, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:28.560 oh my god, acting fucking shocked. You're shocked that there 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.920 is an attempt and not an attempt, because you see, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.719 an attempt means that it could or could not happen. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.880 Rophie Wade is fucking gone. And it was gone the 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.279 moment that Donald Trump became President of the United States. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.800 And you see, but Democrats never have conversations about the courts. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.599 They never talk about how important they are, why we 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.840 need to be paying attention. But you know who has 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.440 been talking about the courts. Who has been paying attention 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.320 for the last fifty fucking years, White Evangelical Christians, the 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.680 Federalist fucking Society, which is where all of Donald Trump's 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:13.760 little minions came from. Mitch McConnell knew how fucking important 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.240 the courts were, right, That's why he rammed through three 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.320 hundred federal judges, didn't put out any legislation worth a 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.520 damn for the American people. Right, No, you can't say 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.520 to me what it was that was Trump's signature achievement, Right, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:37.040 What was the policy that he put out that bettered us? No, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.280 but his legacy, you see, is going to last for 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:47.040 fucking generations. And that is exactly what Republicans wanted. That 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.479 was always the plan. They didn't need the smartest guy 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.120 in the room. They needed the one with the biggest 0:06:55.160 --> 0:07:02.320 fucking mouth, the one that knew how to manipulate the media. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.599 You feed them all your lies, and then the people 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:10.200 that actually know how to get things done, like Mitch McConnell, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:15.360 then you have them do all of the political maneuvers, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.600 chip away little by little by little, and then you 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:26.200 wake up and we will be the only industrialized country 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.200 in the world that has the audacity to go around 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:35.240 and talk about women's rights, and we won't have access 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.280 to abortion. And if you think for a second that 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.760 they are going to stop there, then you are not 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:51.560 fucking paying attention. They are going after contraception next because 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:57.360 they want women locked up. Remember when they were screaming 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.960 lock her up, lock her up, locker up, talking about 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.120 Hillary Clinton. They weren't just talking about Hillary Clinton. They 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.040 were talking about any woman who had the audacity to 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:15.160 want to have power over her own body, the power 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.000 to speak out, the power to decide where I work, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:23.840 how I work, if I work, because that's what's Being 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.040 able to control your reproduction allows you the freedom to 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:36.160 do that. Fifty year old women in this country had 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.760 never lived in a country that didn't have access to abortion. 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:48.760 Now their daughters won't. I want you to think about this, 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.080 because you see, folks these days seem to get really 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.520 caught up in their fucking siloed issues and siloed things, 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.720 And I'm just like, do you not see that the 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:09.280 path to authoritarianism, the path to minority rule, has already 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:15.720 been paved. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:26.200 We are here right now with states after state after 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:33.160 state creating voter suppression laws. Now I hear that the 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.920 number is well over four hundred and voter suppression laws. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:45.600 The Supreme Court made that happen, how by gutting preclarance, 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.560 right by not having oversight. Oh, we've come so far, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:58.200 they said, so we'll take away your rights. Then you 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.000 have Donald Trump come in and spread the big lie 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:06.839 and all of his minions spreading the big lie. They're 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:13.640 just checking off the boxes. So now abortion gone, voting 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:19.760 rights gone. Two people that have the power to ensure 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:26.679 to enshrine our protections into law, to enshrine and safeguard 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.360 our democracy, Joe Manchion and Kirsten Cinema. No, they'd rather 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:37.599 make love to the filibuster then abolish an archaic and 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:44.240 archaic practice that is now going to be the cause 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.040 of our demos. You see, when they put up the 0:10:46.120 --> 0:11:00.440 headstone that is American democracy succumbed to the filibuster, that 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:05.960 will be the cause of death, and they will have 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:11.000 been the executioners. But you know, the media won't tell 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.360 that story. They'll blame black and brown people for not 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.280 risking their lives to come out because you know, the 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.080 next up, the next thing that we will have because 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.679 now you know, we allow people to strap up with 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:29.680 R fifteen rifles and just you know, protect property. Now 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.720 they'll strap up and they'll protect the polls. And so 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.760 the media will then blame the black and brown people 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.880 for not wanting to come out and vote because you know, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:44.720 they don't want to die. But they won't have a 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.400 conversation about how we got here and whose fault it 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.960 really is, because it's so much easier to make the 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:59.120 people who are oppressed the problem rather than pointing the 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:07.960 spotlight on the oppressor. America was done in twenty sixteen. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.920 That's when the coup fucking started, And if you really 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.880 want to think about it, it was really in early 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:24.280 two thousand. I'll take you back to Bush v. Gore. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.560 I take you back to the Supreme Court deciding the election. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.800 I take you then to the rage that filled in 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.440 white people having to call a black man there president, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.679 and the plans, the wheels that began churning, the plans 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.240 that would be concocted to make certain that that would 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:53.560 never happen again. And so to show you how much 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.720 power whiteness has, we're going to pick the stupidest, the 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:04.280 most racist, the most misogynistic piece of shit, just to 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.520 show you that we can do anything whenever we want, 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:15.880 however we want. So here we are. And the funny 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:20.400 thing is is that people always loved to, you know, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.559 say that the sky is falling. The sky is falling, right, 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.559 but only every four years. There's been no long term 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.040 plan for what one does when you realize that one 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.880 of the political parties in this country has turned into 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:40.880 a full fledged fucking white supremacists, white Evangelical Christian violent cult. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.720 But you see, we've been in this now for a 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:50.760 couple of years and pretending that we still have two 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.320 political parties, pretending that you know, Republicans are just you know, 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.680 mucking things up. No, they are on a search and 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:05.120 destroy shin for the entirety of America. Just think about 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:11.280 where we are right now. Over the summer, how many 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.680 fucking videos did you see of these eighth shit fucking 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:23.480 crazy white parents threatening to harm kill school officials for 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.600 putting in mask mandates. It's gonna traumatize their kids. They said, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:35.400 it's abuse. They said, you know, protecting your child from 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.720 a virus that is killed well over seven hundred thousand 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:45.160 fucking people in the United States and millions around the globe. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:51.640 They're protesting, flipping tables, protesting in front of fucking hospitals. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:59.040 This week we had our twenty eighth fucking school shooting. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:06.400 School's been in session for four months, kids have been 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.520 back in school for four months, and there are twenty 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:17.080 eight shootings, the latest one in Michigan. The fourth victim 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:25.080 died this week in the hospital. He was seventeen. The 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:30.400 boy who killed him fifteen. His dad had only bought 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:37.200 the gun four days prior Black Friday sale, and then 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:44.720 he took it to school, walked around and got off 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:53.400 thirty rounds in ten minutes and had many more to go. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.760 They want to say, Oh, the kid was bullied. I 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.760 don't give a fuck. Why was that gun in the 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:11.160 home so easy to fucking access. You want to have guns, fine, 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.840 have your fucking guns. I don't give a fuck. Lock 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.680 them up, have some type of safety measures. If your 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.080 kid is able to get access to that gun in 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.760 your home, then you two should be standing fucking trial. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:38.880 This is bullshit. America is the only fucking place where 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:45.680 we have fucking gun drills at schools. We are creating 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:52.840 bulletproof backpacks. We're listening to reporters. Asked the sheriff, Well, 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.080 should we have put in metal detectors. Yes, let's turn 0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:02.480 our schools into fucking prisons to keep it's safe, but 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.920 not go after exactly what it is that is making 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:10.320 them unsafe. No, let's put more guns in schools. Let's 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.960 put in metal detectors. Let's send every kid a fucking 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.119 bulletproof backpack. Let's have them do drills. Maybe we should 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.280 turn gym class into army class so that they can 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.760 learn how to crawl on their bellies right, dig a 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.560 fucking ditch so that they can hide in that. Instead 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.920 of taking away the fucking guns, putting together actual policy 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.320 and safety measures so that our children are safe in 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.359 These same stupid motherfuckers who want to get on the 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.520 Senate floor talking about the sanctity of life, They don't 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:49.040 know dick about anybody's sanctity of life. You care about cells, 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.879 a collection of cells in a fucking uterus, not the 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.359 kids that were hiding under their fucking desks with masks on, 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.800 that have lost now four of their classmates. Because that's 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.600 just what it's like to be a teenager in America. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.399 The possibility that you know when you leave on the 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.960 school bus, or you're walking, or you get off the subway, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.199 that you know you could be shot dead in your 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:20.280 fucking classroom. That's what we have normalized here. Oh what 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:25.520 about the children. We protest because you don't want your 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:31.080 kids reading fucking Tony Morrison. But I don't see any 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.840 fucking protests about sending your kids to school and a 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.960 fucking hail of bullets and the fact that they have 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:41.000 to do gun patrol drills. But you want to talk 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.360 to me about what about the children and the sanctity 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:48.440 of fucking life. Meanwhile, the three justices that Trump appointed 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:53.000 have one hundred percent writing with the NRA, and they 0:18:53.119 --> 0:19:01.640 want to dictate to me about life. The madness that 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.720 we are living in right now. It is absurd to 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.560 me how we have turned into a country that is 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:21.359 swimming in fucking stupidity, drowning in it. The hypocrisy is 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:28.359 astounding to me. You want to lecture people on life, 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:34.720 but advocating that they take off their mass, advocating against vaccines, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:40.000 advocating to be pro virus and pro gun, and then 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.359 you want to be the same party to lecture me 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:47.959 on life. How does that work? How is it that 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:55.960 Democrats can't find a way to say the fucking loud 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.359 part out right, like say it. They're saying it out loud. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.920 It's not as if Republicans are hiding. That's the thing 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.080 you don't on democracy Ish with my friend Washahat, he said, 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.000 it's like the entire party is just a cast of 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.520 bond villains. And he's like, you know how in Bond movies, 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.119 like they announce exactly what it is that they're going 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.440 to be doing and why they're doing it and how 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.720 they're gonna do it. But we gotta wait for two hours, 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.320 right for James Bond to spring into action. It's the 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:33.560 same shit, except there is no Bond, right. There's just 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:40.040 outrage and debate. There's just political performance but not real action. 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.840 The fact that this school shooting in Michigan wasn't even 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:58.960 the fucking top story tells you where we are right now. 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.639 There are multiple states, and we have a federal judge 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:15.639 that just stopped Biden's vaccine mandate. Twenty five percent of 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.679 this country is controlling the other seventy five percent. And 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.680 I am telling you this is not ending without war. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:29.359 It isn't. Because if you think that Republicans are going 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.840 to keep pushing and pushing and pushing, because sometimes apparently 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:38.720 people got to feel extreme pain and extreme loss before 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.280 they spring into action. But I mark my words because 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.240 I don't want to be right. I don't want to 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.040 see blood in the streets. I don't want to participate 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.040 in a fucking civil war. But you tell me where 0:21:50.080 --> 0:22:02.200 you think this is going. It has taken what six years, 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:08.320 six seven years at this point now for a country 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:14.560 that is hundreds of years old to tank. Everything that 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.960 you thought was written into stone or written into the 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:23.600 Constitution became up for grabs when Donald Trump became president 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:34.200 and appointed three justices, three hundred federal judges, got an 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:39.360 entire party to spread a lie, an entire cable network 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:44.000 that supports and amplifies their messaging, and we're all still 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:49.000 sitting around debating about whether or not Republicans care about 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:55.040 this country? Are you fucking dumb? You know? I blame 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.520 the mainstream media so fucking much because I'm like, you 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:02.960 all still want to p ten that there is neutrality, right, 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.760 that you can't just say what the fuck is going on? 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.080 This is why I do this show, because I'm like, 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:13.080 am I the only one who is just gonna say 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.639 it like it is and not pretend right for the ratings, 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:21.840 what for the sponsors that all is well, it's fucking not. 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.040 All is shit right now? And oh, by the way, 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:34.280 I'm Nicron already in the United States, But of course 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:38.640 it would be because guess what else doesn't work? Fucking 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:44.040 travel bands? But yeah, let's continue to do that, but 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.760 only for the black and brown countries. No one else. 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:57.880 America runs on racism, stupidity, and faux outrage, outrage over 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.080 all of the wrong fucking things. Because I got to 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.120 tell you that if I was a parent right now, 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:09.640 I would be hemming up every fucking Senator because you see, 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:15.199 the House already passed gun control laws. It's not going 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:22.560 to get done in the Senate because of mansion in cinema. 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:27.639 I just you know, some days I just look around 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:34.199 and I am like out fucking done. And this is 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.000 one of those days where I'm like, the week is 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:42.600 not even over yet. We've lost abortion, kids have been murdered. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:52.440 We have a new variant because the greed of wealthy 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:57.800 nations refusing to lift waivers that would allow lower income 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:02.480 nations the ability to manufacture their vaccines, to vaccinate their 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.719 people and not wait on fucking donations and money that 0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.040 never comes. Oh, it's so wonderful to do these fucking 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.600 g seven summits and all of these conversations and to 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.359 take pictures and oh, let's give the appearance that all 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.080 is well when we know that it isn't. It's like 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.680 I feel like we are living in the Truman Show. 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:30.679 Everything is made up. Everything is bullshit. Those summits. What 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.879 the fuck do they do because climate change is raging 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.840 out of control? I haven't seen any real measures taken. Oh, 0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.560 we'll take those steps in twenty thirty, and then we'll 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.639 get to twenty thirty and we'll kick the can further 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:43.920 down the road. If in fact the world hasn't fucking 0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:49.639 imploded by them. Everything that you see playing out on 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:56.240 the micro level, we have experienced. Right. It's the greed, 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:05.160 the hunger for power that runs everything. Why aren't South 0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:09.280 why is in South Africa and African nations? Why aren't 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:15.880 they at the same level of vaccination rate? Right? Why 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:22.000 when India and South Africa petitioned to have the trips 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:27.320 waiver to get rid of the intellectual property rights so 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:33.119 that it could be manufactured, how how does that get 0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:40.080 pushed off? Oh, so that Fiser can make more billions, 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:44.840 so that Murderna could make more billions, and then they 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:51.280 do this handshake deal the corporations with the governments. It's 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:56.000 all about money. It's not about this sentity of life. 0:26:56.600 --> 0:27:02.600 We could give a fuck, Like what if Republicans need 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.160 to do. They need to just come out and say 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.520 we want to control you we need right the G 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.400 seven that says we don't give a fuck about poor nations, 0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.520 right like, you just need them to say those things 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:26.119 because their actions don't tell you what is true. You know, 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:34.840 out on my walk yesterday, I was talking with one 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:40.080 of my friends, a gentleman that you know sits at 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:44.639 the pier and you know, just takes in the sunshine, 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:50.159 the breeze, smiles, waves to people, and he said to me, 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.879 you know, Danielle, I don't think things are going to 0:27:53.960 --> 0:28:01.600 get any better, and you just really have to enjoy life. 0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:08.440 You have to find a way to enjoy life. And 0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:16.000 that is in all honesty my message. It's like when 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.240 you look at everything that has taken place and it 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.560 feels I mean, some days I actually feel like I 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:26.480 can't breathe. And it's why I meditate so that I 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:36.120 can practice and focus taking in deep breaths. Because when 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.280 I watched the news, when I read what is happening, 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:45.560 when I learned that the only reason we didn't have 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.280 school shootings in twenty twenty is because of a global 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:55.560 health pandemic. That's the only reason it wasn't because our 0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:59.680 government took any action to keep us safe. Wasn't because 0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:03.040 the people that we elect to represent us did anything 0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:11.560 to protect the children. That are only good as political props, 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:17.760 but in actuality you could give a fuck. Why don't 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:22.200 they give that kid that shut up his school the 0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:28.400 Congressional Gold Medal? What's the difference between him and Kyle Rittenhouse. 0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.480 I don't see the difference. We want to say, oh, 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.400 he was bullied. Okay, there are plenty of kids that 0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:44.720 are fucking bullied that don't take out fucking guns. What 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:49.880 is its schools can do? Schools can't do anything right. 0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:55.320 We are asking schools to do too fucking much. What 0:29:55.440 --> 0:30:01.400 are our politicians doing? What is our president doing? Stop 0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:04.880 saying that teachers need to be armed or teachers need 0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.400 to do this in schools need to do that? What 0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:22.200 the fuck are politicians doing? Nothing? You have to look 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.840 for the joy you do. You have to find it. 0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:29.479 You know. That is my hope that after every single 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:35.800 episode that folks listen to that, then you're like, Okay, 0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.880 I know what's going on. Now, I'm going on a walk, 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.920 I'm going to garden, I'm gonna bake a pie. I'm 0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:50.400 going to do something to counterbalance the fuckery that we 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:54.240 are in because folks, I'm gonna be. I don't think 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:59.000 this is getting better. It actually is getting progressively worse. 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:03.680 And do you know what terrifies me? This is what's 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:07.440 happening when Democrats are in power. This is what winning 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:11.520 looks like. We have the House, we have the Senate, 0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:15.960 we have the White House, and now we're recognizing there 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:26.360 aren't coequal branches of government because they have the fucking judiciary. 0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.400 You know. The other thing that I want people to 0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:40.960 recognize too is Roby Waite is dead. There is gonna 0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:43.960 be there's no qualms about that. You were going to 0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:49.600 wait until June for the actual decision, but it's done 0:31:49.920 --> 0:32:00.280 right fifty years. What do you think is next? Because 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:04.160 if you think that striking down school segregation isn't up 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:07.600 for grabs, if you think that, you know, same sex 0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:11.200 marriage isn't up for grabs. If you think that anything anything, 0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:17.560 any law isn't up for grabs, isn't on their hot 0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:24.880 ticket list, you aren't paying attention. You know, people think 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.600 that their money, you know, is going to be able 0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.160 to protect them. And I joke and I say, you know, 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.080 why are all the billionaires racing to get off of 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:37.560 this planet? Because they know what's done right, and they 0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.600 have the means to go, you know, forward, someplace else. 0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.520 It's the rest of us, right, that are going to 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:49.120 be in fucking lyseum. It's the rest of us that 0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:58.680 are fucked because the world has just become so dangerous. 0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:03.719 If you are not white, if you are not straight, 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.640 if you are not Christian, if you are not male, 0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:16.040 the world America is an incredibly dangerous place. We are 0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:21.680 a powder keg one next, the next protest, the next spark, 0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.840 the next thing that comes up will be the what 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:30.720 does us in Kyle rittenhouse walks after murdering two people 0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:35.120 and wounding a third, what do you think is going 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:40.760 to happen at the next protests the next march? They're 0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.320 going to come locked and loaded. They've already told us 0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:50.040 that Lauren Bobert was on Steve Bannon's show, because you know, 0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:53.200 Steve Bannon is just you know, free and clear, walking 0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:57.920 around waiting on his trial while continuing to spread lies 0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:02.160 and promote hate and division and just relishing in the destruction. 0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:09.520
