Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Okay f with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Brooklyn Bunker. Friends,
Speaker 1: we are but a month and plus into the Biden
Speaker 1: Harris administration, and I have to tell you that what
Speaker 1: I continue to find incredibly annoying is the way in
Speaker 1: which the media is so quick to do a pivot
Speaker 1: into substance and pressing questions. And yet all Donald Trump
Speaker 1: got for the four years that he was in office
Speaker 1: were some bubblegums, softball, bullshit questions from the press. And yeah,
Speaker 1: granted they stopped doing pressers, and granted Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: only doing shit, you know, on his way tomorrow Lago
Speaker 1: and on his way back on the South Lawn. But
Speaker 1: I find it really fresh trading when I listened to
Speaker 1: people talking about, oh, well, Joe Biden made a promise
Speaker 1: to do X, Y and C and it's just like, bitch,
Speaker 1: it's been like thirty five days. Take a fucking breath, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that we're not going to hold
Speaker 1: this administration accountable, but like, let's be clear that we
Speaker 1: had a wayward, indecent, morally corrupt, criminal president for the
Speaker 1: past four years. Nobody asked Donald Trump thirty days into
Speaker 1: his corrupt administration what he was doing, what he was
Speaker 1: doing for the American people, And what I find so
Speaker 1: fucking disgusting, aside from the overt projection right is again,
Speaker 1: like I keep saying, it is as if Trump bought
Speaker 1: the media at some point in time that they are
Speaker 1: so reluctant to continue to tell the truth. Now everybody
Speaker 1: wants to move on from Donald Trump, but the media
Speaker 1: doesn't want to move on from Donald Trump. That was
Speaker 1: their golden goose and their cash cow for the past
Speaker 1: four years. But when you have an opportunity to now
Speaker 1: use his own words to tell the truth, to spread
Speaker 1: the truth to the American people, to recognize just how
Speaker 1: important the media is to the preservation of our democracy,
Speaker 1: it's like as if the whole of them have amnesia.
Speaker 1: Imagine what this country would have looked like today. If
Speaker 1: Donald Trump a year ago had met the coronavirus pandemic
Speaker 1: with the type of fierce attention, focus and strategy that
Speaker 1: was needed, maybe we wouldn't have been at a place
Speaker 1: where over five hundred and fifteen thousand Americans are dead
Speaker 1: a year later. Maybe we would have never gotten to
Speaker 1: the place where tens of millions are infected, maybe we
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to be rushing against time and fate in
Speaker 1: order to save as many people as possible with the vaccine.
Speaker 1: Maybe we would have had a better rollout plan for
Speaker 1: the vaccine because we would have used the same highly
Speaker 1: strategic and efficient testing. But we didn't test. Remember, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump didn't want to set up national testing standards or
Speaker 1: testing facilities, or COVID standards or anything that was mandatory.
Speaker 1: So it would be great if on this bleak and
Speaker 1: dim anniversary, if in fact, the media did this time
Speaker 1: around what they failed to do last time, which was
Speaker 1: to shed light onto the inadequacy of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: And not only they're inadequacy, but their sheer cruelty. You know,
Speaker 1: when we don't call out the truth, when we continue
Speaker 1: to operate as if we are living in a two
Speaker 1: party system when we know that that is not true,
Speaker 1: we allow for people to persist with a narrative of
Speaker 1: bullshit of both sides, and only if both sides came together.
Speaker 1: And frankly, I want to say that it's not just
Speaker 1: the media that is responsible for that falsity, it's also democrats.
Speaker 1: I watched so many Democrats get on television over this
Speaker 1: past weekend, after a week where the Republican Party voted
Speaker 1: down not only the Equality Act, ensuring that LGBTQ people
Speaker 1: could not be discriminated against right in an expansion of
Speaker 1: our Civil Rights Act. Not only did all but three
Speaker 1: Republicans in the House vote against equality, but they also
Speaker 1: voted against giving the American people a fourteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: relief check and voted against the COVID nineteen package. Now,
Speaker 1: the frustration is that when you get Democrats on television,
Speaker 1: they're not speaking from the same hymnal, They're not having
Speaker 1: the same conversation. Oh they say, well, you know, not
Speaker 1: all Republicans, but most No, just say all Republicans. They
Speaker 1: don't hesitate to put all Democrats into the same box.
Speaker 1: And frankly, if we're going to be in the box
Speaker 1: that is pro equality, pro gun control, pro the environment,
Speaker 1: pro people living, then fuck it, let's own that box.
Speaker 1: But make them own the ship that they're doing too,
Speaker 1: and do not let the people forget because when you
Speaker 1: go on television, dear Democratic leaders, and you want to
Speaker 1: try and provide some type of cover to Republicans that
Speaker 1: they do not deserve. You are doing yourselves a disservice.
Speaker 1: Just tell the truth. Republicans are not for equality, They're
Speaker 1: not for justice, They're not for health and safety. They
Speaker 1: are not for the well being of the American public.
Speaker 1: They are for their shareholders, their donors, right, the billionaires
Speaker 1: and the trillionaires. That's who they are for. Much in
Speaker 1: the same way that Ted Cruz gave us a beautiful
Speaker 1: visual of what it means to be completely and totally
Speaker 1: irresponsible and hop a plane to go and save yourself right,
Speaker 1: rather than staying to stick shoulder by shoulder with your constituencies.
Speaker 1: That is who the Republican Party is. And if you're
Speaker 1: not cutting this shit up into digestible fucking ads moving
Speaker 1: into our next election cycle, then what are you doing.
Speaker 1: It should be a low fucking lift for Democrats to
Speaker 1: hold onto power for the next decades if they were
Speaker 1: to actually play their media cards right. You know, if
Speaker 1: you don't know how to do it, then hire the
Speaker 1: best fucking pr communications teams and trust me, they will
Speaker 1: get your ass all the way together. Hire the people
Speaker 1: at the DNC who were never Trumpers, that were part
Speaker 1: of the Lincoln project that have since left, and get
Speaker 1: them to run your media, get them to do your
Speaker 1: rapid response, get them to be pushing out to the
Speaker 1: American people via social media platforms and the like, everything
Speaker 1: that is wrong with their Republican party. And look, you
Speaker 1: have to do no work except cut up their own ads,
Speaker 1: cut up their own fucking testimony. You should listen to
Speaker 1: some of the Republicans last week as they are asking
Speaker 1: the new acting head of the Capitol Police, why are
Speaker 1: there still National Guard at the Capitol, Like with an attitude,
Speaker 1: why are there still National Guard at the Capitol? Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, because a mob of thousands try to
Speaker 1: kill all of you a month ago, and we're thinking
Speaker 1: that that's just the beginning, because we're getting threats that
Speaker 1: are about the first state of the U in and
Speaker 1: blowing this place up. Does that answer your question? The
Speaker 1: audacity that they had. And then over the weekend you
Speaker 1: had these fools at Sea Pack where they have Donald
Speaker 1: Trump speaking and this is brilliant, This was brilliant. There
Speaker 1: was a presser that was done at Sea Pack where
Speaker 1: that spineless piece of trash Kevin McCarthy was speaking and
Speaker 1: behind him is Republican leadership, including Liz Cheney. Republican leadership
Speaker 1: from the House, including Liz Cheney. Now, when a reporter
Speaker 1: puts a mike in Kevin McCarthy's face, you know Kevin
Speaker 1: who decided to chop on a jet to go kiss
Speaker 1: the ring of Donald Trump and Marlago. When a reporter asked,
Speaker 1: is don should Donald Trump be speaking at Sea Pack
Speaker 1: and is he the future of the Republican Party, Kevin
Speaker 1: McCarthy responded, yes, of course Donald Trump should be speaking, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and yes he is. Then the reporter turns and goes
Speaker 1: right behind him and put the microphone in Liz Cheney's
Speaker 1: face and says, what do you think? And she goes,
Speaker 1: you know exactly what I think and where I stand
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump. No, I don't think that he should
Speaker 1: be speaking at Seapack. Do I believe that we should
Speaker 1: be moving on from him as a party? Absolutely? And
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, again, Liz Cheney deserves no applause,
Speaker 1: but I will appreciate the bucking that she is doing
Speaker 1: right behind the Minority House leader Kevin McCarthy. And when
Speaker 1: the reporter was just like, well, oh, okay, seems like
Speaker 1: you guys are not on the same page, Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 1: wills like, whoa I'm that high note. Let us move on.
Speaker 1: So you know, the thing is is that the media
Speaker 1: keeps talking about the fact that there is some type
Speaker 1: of civil war within the Republican Party. Don't get it twisted,
Speaker 1: and don't get yourselves like all hyped up in the
Speaker 1: fact that that is true. There is not. There is
Speaker 1: not a civil war that is happening in the Publican
Speaker 1: Party right now. They are a more lockstep than ever.
Speaker 1: It's a civil war if the party is split down
Speaker 1: the middle, where half of them are for sanity and
Speaker 1: truth and upholding their allegiance to the Constitution, and then
Speaker 1: the other half are crazy. No, you have like five
Speaker 1: Republicans out of all of them that are sane, relatively so,
Speaker 1: because they still voted with Donald Trump ninety percent on
Speaker 1: the time. So they may be sane in the respect
Speaker 1: that like, they're not a QAnon nut job posting transphobic
Speaker 1: signs and carrying a gun and waving it on the
Speaker 1: House floor, right, They're not that crazy. But they're also,
Speaker 1: let's understand, not anybody's compassionate conservative or moderate when their
Speaker 1: voting record proves that they have voted with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time when he was president,
Speaker 1: so there is no civil war. You got a few
Speaker 1: sprinklings of Republicans that trust me, I believe that by
Speaker 1: the end of this or they will be out of
Speaker 1: that party, and maybe they'll already be in the works
Speaker 1: of starting their own third party, who the fuck knows.
Speaker 1: But I don't think until we see a viable third
Speaker 1: party will there be a sizeable fracture enough with the
Speaker 1: Republicans in order to take them down. But here's the
Speaker 1: thing is that while they are fracturing themselves are picking
Speaker 1: off one by one slowly, Democrats need to stay completely
Speaker 1: and totally united. And right now I don't really see
Speaker 1: that it's not really happening because I don't know if
Speaker 1: it is just the media that poses this push between
Speaker 1: progressives and the center or not. But I don't want
Speaker 1: us to be operating on this isn't enough space. I
Speaker 1: want us to repair the damage, right, repair the damage
Speaker 1: that's been done, and then expand where we are. And
Speaker 1: I believe that we can do that walk and chew
Speaker 1: gum at the same time. But we should be united
Speaker 1: in our viciousness against the Republican Party that is a
Speaker 1: party of authoritarianism and fascism. And there should never be
Speaker 1: a time when we are trying to move on from
Speaker 1: that truth. In every opportunity that these leaders have, when
Speaker 1: they are sitting down with a microphone in front of
Speaker 1: their faces, they should be talking about their agenda and
Speaker 1: talking about how opposed the Republican Party is to democracy,
Speaker 1: and the American people be like, you have to look
Speaker 1: no further than this, this and this example. That should
Speaker 1: be easy, that should be frankly, a no fucking brainer.
Speaker 1: But I find that even still now, even still now,
Speaker 1: I'm gritting my teeth when I'm listening to Democrats gun
Speaker 1: on television and talk about the fact that not all Republicans,
Speaker 1: not all Republicans. What just because you get three that
Speaker 1: vote for the Equality Act out of how fucking many
Speaker 1: out of well over two hundred you get three? Come on,
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing. It should be embarrassing for them, but it
Speaker 1: should be embarrassing for us to say that this is
Speaker 1: somehow bipartisan. It wasn't. And what the American people need
Speaker 1: to understand is that given the opportunity to slither their
Speaker 1: way back into power, they will reverse every good thing
Speaker 1: that gets done because that is their way. That is
Speaker 1: the pattern of this country. And that is why we
Speaker 1: are stagnant in comparison to every place else. To me,
Speaker 1: it is an abomination that we even have to sell
Speaker 1: our ideals to the American people at this point. We should.
Speaker 1: We're not racist, we're not cruel, we're not vile. So
Speaker 1: why do I have to convince you of otherwise when
Speaker 1: Republicans don't even offer you an agenda that to me,
Speaker 1: this is about selling right. But you're not making up
Speaker 1: a campaign, you're not making up a platform. You are
Speaker 1: for the American people. You are for the values of
Speaker 1: this country. You are for giving the American people relief
Speaker 1: instead of the billionaires and trillionaires. Thank you so much
