WEBVTT - How Did We Get Here?

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Keeps, and welcome to Locate f Daily with

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording this lovely Friday from

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the home Bunker. Folks, What a week it has been? Right, Like,

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes when I get to the end of

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the week and you all know this, I you know,

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>begin to really think about.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>How did we get here?

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Like I get to the Friday sometimes and

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, what the fuck just happened?

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like you're living inside of a tornado?

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you know, on this fucking Friday, it's like,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>what am I saying fuck it to? I mean, what

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>am I not saying fuck it too? Would be the

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>better question? Right, So let us begin. First of all,

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about Mitch McConnell. To talk about

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell. The last time that Mitch McConnell was in

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 1>front of a podium, and this time it was in

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol Building and froze. Many pundits were like, let's

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>not touch this. We're not going to have a conversation

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>about this. Let's show that we are better than the right.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And like, I don't need to show the right that

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm better. I fucking know that right as well as

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>you you know that as well. Here's the thing about

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell's continued deterioration and literal brain freezes neurological events

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that he continues to have following I guess I don't

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what is causing this. If he had a stroke,

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>he had a fall, like whatever it is. But here's

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the reality, these fucking octanagerians who are unwell right Like

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it is one thing to say I because I have

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>grappled with this, Am I just an agist? And I'm saying, oh,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you're old and get out of the way. No, because

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>again I will say, Bernie Sanders is eighty something years old, right,

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>he is clearly sharp, continues to.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Do his job. Joe Biden, right is old.

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>The reason why Joe Biden has pauses is because he

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>has a stuttering impediment that he's at his entire life,

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>not because his brain literally freezes and his face just

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the connection isn't happening. And that's what the

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>fuck happened with Mitch McConnell. It's the same way that

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel about Diane Feinstein. I'm like, retire, Do you

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, like Mitch mcconnald's vicious, cruel, depraved

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>rain over America has come to a fucking close, right,

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>like you can rest well in hell knowing that you

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>destroyed the judicial system, that you championed a fucking rapist

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>and a criminal as president of the United States, that

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you stuck it to the blacks, like you know, go

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>rest well, and you know as you make your descent

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to where you actually belong.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I have a friend of mine.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Who we are having these conversations about the fact that

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I am really trying to, you know, get into meditative

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and just more open and full headspace where I let

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>go of hate and I let go of rage and

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I sent her right, sent her love in my life

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in all aspects, and that includes the people that I

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>cannot stand. And what I realized I said to him,

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, I don't know if I'm going

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to make it to that level of ascension, because when

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I see things like this happen, like the freezing of

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell, I don't him.

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't and that you know, and I know I.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Got a lot more meditation, a lot more prayer, and

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more unpacking to do. I don't wish him

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>ill let me say that, but I don't wish him well.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>I wish Mitch McConnell to have as good of a

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>day as he wishes for black people in this country,

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>right Like, that's so I'm going to meet you with

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the energy that you have put the fuck out.

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 2>How about that? You know what I'm saying.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>So as I continue to do my work on myself,

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I realize that I still have the limited mindset because

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>when I look at Mitch McConnell falling on a tough

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>medical times with physical ailments, I genuinely do not give

0:04:54.440 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a fuck because all I think about is the incredible damage,

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the incredible damage that this racist white man has done.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I think about the withholding of the seat for the

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court right because oh well, in my mind, this

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>black man is illegitimate, so he doesn't get the full

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.919
<v Speaker 1>rights and benefits and responsibilities of an actual president that

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>was overwhelmingly chosen by the people of this country. I

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>alone get to decide who is valid and who isn't.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>So when you think about the legacy of Mitch McConnell,

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 1>do I have these overwhelming emotions of I wish him well.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I do fucking not. And that's how I know.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Dear friends, that I am not that at that level

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of ascension yet, right Like, That's how I know that

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I still have work to do, because I don't.

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't wish him well.

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Moving on to other things that occurred this week, Harrison Floyd,

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the head of Blacks for Trump, finds himself on the

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>find out side of the fuck around because his ass

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>is still sitting inside of Faulty County jail.

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>And why is that? Oh?

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, one, when the FBI agents came to come and

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>get him, he decided to meet them with force because

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that this motherfucker, while caping for white supremacy,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>forgot that he's black.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. I think that they all.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Do right, the Blacks for Trump and these Browns for

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Trump with led by the vec RAMASA mean. I think

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>that these motherfuckers forget right that your complex shit right

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>is not going to get you into the good old

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>boys club. You are useful to them in this moment,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and then when you are not, you are fucking not right. So,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>as my friend Wajah Hot says on our other podcast,

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Democracy Ish, which by the way, if you don't check

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>out every week is alive on Thursdays, and you should

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>absolutely subscribe because the conversations that Waj and I have

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>are amazing and deep. But let me say this. Waja

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>will say, you know, here's the thing that always gets

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>me into trouble is that I remind my brown brothers

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and sisters, right, they're never going to love you, right

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that no matter how much you puppet Harrison, no matter

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>how much you cap for white supremacy and make those

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>little stupid blacks for trunk t shirts, they are never

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to accept you. They will accept you as much

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>as they need a fucking mascot, right, so that they

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>can then go back behind closed doors and be like,

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>ain't that and word dumb? Right because he thinks that

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he's one of us, Right, You're only as much of

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one of them again as you were useful.

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>You were still a fucking product, right, remember that?

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And so now that this motherfucker is sitting in prison,

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>right in the jail because he can't afford a lawyer,

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>talking to the that he can't afford a lawyer. And

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you all have seen the clips. You know,

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>all those lawyers they cost so much money. Maybe you

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>should have thought about that, right, you should have thought

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>about that, because what did you think that Donald Trump

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>was going to, what, offer you up some of his money?

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>He don't even pay the people that actually do work

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>for him. You thought he was gonna do something for you,

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>dum dumb. So let me tell you something. That video

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>of Floyd just tickled my heart. I will be honest,

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and this is again why I'm not going to ascend

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.479
<v Speaker 1>to the place that I need to in my practice,

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>right because things like that image and that video. I

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>don't feel bad for that man, right, I feel like

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you're getting exactly what you deserve.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>You want to step with the white good old boys,

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>but you don't got their money and you don't have

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>their lack of melanin. Okay, So the justice system sees

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you the way that they see every black body. Okay,

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So good for you on the find out part of

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the fuck around. What else happened this week? You had

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the hurricane that landed in Florida, Adahlia, I think is

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>how you pronounce it, and you know, just to show

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 1>you again that within a little over twenty four hours,

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>less than two but less than forty eight that storm

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:12.199
<v Speaker 1>went from a tropical storm to a Category three hurricane

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>when it hit Landfall. And you know, I just look

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>around at the folks in Florida who love them some

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Ron DeSantis, love them some Donald Trump, and you know,

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>love them some ignorance. And this is what is happening, right,

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And folks will say, like, well, there are people that

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>other people in Florida. Of course there are, right, But

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the majority who were eligible to vote, aside from voter

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>suppression and all of that, you know, went hands down

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>for Ron de Santis, who doesn't believe in climate change.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 1>And what I want folks to understand is that it

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what are is going to be at the

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>top of the Republican's ticket in twenty twenty four. If

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>it's Donald Trump, Ronda Santis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, the

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>vek Ramaswami, doesn't matter. Any Republican is going to spell

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>environmental disaster, not only for this country but for the world.

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>We are living on borrow time. We are in the

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>climate crisis. It's not impending. It is happening on a

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>regular basis, and coming off of this summer, how anyone

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>with a fucking working brain in their head could think

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>about anything other than what do we need to do

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>now in order to stop some of the most expensive

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and dangerous weather patterns from consistently happening. I don't know,

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, but I do know that, you know, as

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the Empire of America falls and crumbles, we're going to

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 1>be the ones that are going to be underneath the rubble.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And when archaeologists and what have you come, you know,

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>centuries from now, and they say, you know, all of

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the signs were clear, and they had all the technology

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and all the access, like, what the fuck happened?

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I hope somebody listens.

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>To wokef because then you'll know exactly what happened. So,

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we continue to see each and every single week,

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and hurricane season doesn't usually end until November, but who

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the fuck knows, because seasons don't make sense anymore, right.

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been thinking about this, as you know, the calendar

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>changes to September, and I'm like, you know, my birthday

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is in November, which is why I love the fall

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>so much, because I just I love the change of seasons.

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I love the Christmas in the air, I love all

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>of that.

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>But the last several years I've done outdoor events for

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>my birthday because it's been nearly seventy degrees in November, right,

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>not normal at all, No, it's not. So. What we know, folks,

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>is that these hurricane seasons, fire seasons, tornado seasons, they're

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>no longer predictable in terms of their length and in

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of their strength. And anyone who is entering the

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>White House needs to understand that this is actually the

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>war that is happening, that is costing lives and costing

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>billions of dollars, and maybe maybe we should give it

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>as much attention as you would, you know, the wars

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>that kill people for you know, oil and stuff. It's

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>so frustrating, it really is. I just think, you know,

0:13:53.760 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has waived his arraignment appearance in Georgia for

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>September six, and we're still waiting on the at least

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>at the time of this recording, the verdict around Mark

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Meadows and his removal from state court to federal court.

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>And here's what I'll say about that. Mark Meadows is

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the most dangerous human beings. He is one

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of the most dangerous human beings. He is one of

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the most insidious, sinister human beings. Mark meadows knew exactly

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>what he was doing on January sixth. He was burning

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>papers in his office. Why was that asked in his

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>five hour testimony as to why he believes that he

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>was working in official capacity? Can we bring in other

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>cheats of staff and ask them if they've ever burned

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>papers in their office, if they've ever preemptively asked for

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a pardon? Why would you need to do that if

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you weren't doing anything illegal? And you can make up

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>an excuse about oh, the Democrats weaponizing.

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 2>No. No, because if there's no.

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>If you're not breaking the law and the law wasn't

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>just written by Democrats, If you're not breaking the law,

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>or think that you're breaking the law, why the fuck

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>would you ask preemptively for a pardon? So Mark meadows

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly what the fuck he was doing, and he

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't working in anybody's official capacity, and you know, for somebody,

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>if you were interested and invested in you know, following along.

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Check out Shriylyn Eiffel's Twitter. Chriylyn Eifel, the former head

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, lays it out very

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>clearly and kind of reminds us of some of the

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>receipts around Mark Meadows and the show that he put

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>on as chief of staff, and so to feign right like, oh,

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>this is just persecution and I was just doing my

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>job is bullshit, right. There was no part of his

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>job that would have him call up the Secretary of

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>State and organize a call to say, can you find

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>me eleven seven hundred and forty some odd votes?

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Though, so miss me with the bullshit.

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>But we will see, because what we know is that

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>bullshit reigns supreme and rich white powerful men can do

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty much anything that they want, right, it is very

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>rare that they get caught up. So you know, as

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we watch all of these cases unfold and whether or

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not Fannie Willis is going to be removed from her

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>position in October when the law that Brian Kent signed

0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in that allows him to remove duly elected prossecutters and

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>put in whomever he wants to do his bidding and

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that of the Republican Party. Folks, I just have to say,

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>as you listen to Donald Trump and all of his

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>sick offens basically say that the rule of law does

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>not mean and include them that when Donald Trump becomes

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>president again that he's gonna throw his political enemies in jail.

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 2>This is not fucking locker room talk.

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>This is not boistering, this is not you know, bravado.

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He's telling you what the fuck he plans to do

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>as the dictator of America, and all of the Republicans

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>are telling you what they will do in order to

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>support and cover him. So let me tell you that

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>it is really hard to return to a democracy once

0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 1>it is lost. Now is the time that folks wake

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the fuck up, get out into the streets, boycott, do

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the work that needs to be done in order to

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 1>hold on to it. Because once it's gone, and Donald

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump and any Republican has control over the military, has

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>control and access over law enforcement, has the backs, and

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is able to deregulate and defund every single social safety

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 1>net and agency right and there are no checks and balances.

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>That's when it will be too fucking late. And they

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>are telling you each and every day, the motherfucking quiet

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>part out loud. So I don't know how many times

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.159
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be stated and how many times we

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>need to listen to what these people are saying. But

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the only way that we remain safe in this country,

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 1>is to take action, right, and that means sharing these

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 1>videos that I'm doing high low, my patrons, sharing these videos,

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>sharing these shows with your friends, your colleagues, right, saying

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>pass it on. It is getting involved in your local elections, right.

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Becoming an actual part of your community, registering people to vote,

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 1>running for office yourself, checking in to see what is

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:32.160
<v Speaker 1>happening with your school boards and your city councils, write

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with your libraries, and taking the action

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that is needed, and getting getting together again, getting together

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a posse of people making a social event. Right. You know,

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 1>every Friday, we're going to gather together and we're gonna

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>go check in with our local librarians, what's going on,

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>what's popping?

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 2>How can I get involved with the board? Right?

0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>What can I do to make sure that information is

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:02.959
<v Speaker 1>not being blocked from people?

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>How can I.

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Go and volunteer with the seniors at the high school

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that those that are turning eighteen right

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 1>over the summer or this year are registered to vote?

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I'm saying?

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>There are so many ways, folks, for us to get invested,

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and particularly when we are seeing those at the grass tops,

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 1>try and poison the ground.

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>We need to be on the ground.

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Gathering people, lifting up information, sharing the truth, flexing and

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 1>doing what we can gathering with other like minded people.

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what is required in this moment. We cannot wait

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 1>until all is lost and then try and get it

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>back because trust and believe, look at history, it ain't

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>that fucking easy. That is it for me today, dear friends,
