1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to wikate f Daily with 2 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: me your girl Daniel Moody recording from my home bunker. 3 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: So the folks, let me start off with this. Kevin McCarthy, 4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: the Fisher Price Speaker of the House, who's really a 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: puppet from Marjorie Taylor Green and the far right have 6 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: decided to open up an inquiry, impeachment inquiry into President 7 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Biden over nothing. And I am just here's my thinking 8 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: on this, because I'm not going to waste a lot 9 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: of time or energy, nor should you, because the reality 10 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: here is that the Republican Party has nothing. They offer nothing, 11 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: Even their own Republican members who are in districts that 12 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: Biden won, even some of the most egregious members have 13 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: come out and said, you know, there is nothing right, Like, 14 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: if there was something and we needed to investigate it, 15 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: then we should have the ability to do so. But 16 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: right now there's nothing there, which is why McCarthy can't 17 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: call a vote right on opening up the in Korean 18 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: as just instead directing these committees to waste taxpayer dollars 19 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: in time and money to do it because he doesn't 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: have the fucking votes. And you know what is really frustrating. 21 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: Here is the optics, the optics that Democrats don't necessarily understand, 22 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: which is that a majority of Americans right now, with 23 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: a recent poll that came out, believe that the indictments 24 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump are solely political nature, right And why 25 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: is that? Because it's important for us to understand and 26 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: not just shrug off the fact that a majority of 27 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Americans across party lines believe that these indictmencies for indictments, 28 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: these ninety one charges in counting against Donald Trump, are 29 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: politically motivated. And that is because seven to eight years ago, 30 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump entered the political sphere and began peppering 31 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: our society with lies, began questioning agencies, began questioning the 32 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: integrity of our systems, of our governmental systems, which is 33 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: what sets us apart from the rest of the world. 34 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: He began his putin Esque campaign to delegitimize our agencies 35 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: and weaponize them. And instead of corporatized media calling out 36 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: what was happening and making it plainly clear to the 37 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: American people that Donald Trump is an enemy of speech, 38 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: he's an enemy of truth, he's an enemy of facts, 39 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: and it is up to Americans to remain vigilant and 40 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 1: instead of Democrats every time that they were in front 41 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: of a microphone or had an opportunity to use their 42 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: platforms in a coordinated strategic effort to continue to inform 43 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the American public, knowing that from twenty sixteen on we 44 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: have had a massive disinformation campaign done at the hands 45 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: of the Russians at the behest of Donald Trump, Russia. 46 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Are you listening right? So here we are now where 47 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: you have Kevin McCarthy at the behest of the fucking 48 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: kook Marjorie Taylor Green saying we need to open up 49 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: an inquiry and we need to stop spending. Mind you, 50 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: these are the same people who voted to increase the 51 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: debt by seven trillion dollars. You know how you know 52 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: that that's true as well, because the idiot Nikki Haley, 53 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: when they were on their bullshit Republican debate stage, said right, 54 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: the debt is not owned by just one party. She's 55 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: like people on this stage voted right, voted for the 56 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: tax you know, scam for the rich that inflated our 57 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: debt by seven trillion dollars in four years. And she 58 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: was booed for that. Why because she told the truth 59 00:04:53,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: and So you know, here's the thing. The optics are unfortunate. 60 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: The only things that matter when you allowed for reality 61 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: TV politics to enter the fucking chat right, and because 62 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats don't have a counter message for that, they 63 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: want to continue with business as usual. It is going 64 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: to absolutely seem as if this is just tit for tat, 65 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: when in fact it is tit for tat, but at 66 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: the hands of the Republican Party that is going to 67 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: weaponize government at every single turn as a way to 68 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: pay back their political opponents for doing what is stated 69 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: inside of the Constitution, which is to go after insurrectionists 70 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: and those who would seek to bring down democracy, which 71 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: is the entirety of the Republican Party. Now, what I 72 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: also find interesting is that there are people who are 73 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: shaking their head at the release of the Fulton County 74 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: Grand Jury's full list of people that they recommended for indictments, 75 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: with three sitting senators appearing on that list, who Fannie 76 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Willis decided not to indict. Now, I don't know why 77 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: Fannie Willis decided not to indict Lindsay Graham, because let 78 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: us be clear that Lindsay Graham is a Senator from 79 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Lindsey Graham had no business calling any fucking 80 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: body in Georgia when the Georgian right senators didn't seek 81 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: to call Rathensburger the Secretary of State to say what's 82 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: happening down there with the election. Similarly, Michael Steele recently 83 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: said on MSNBC, and I have to agree he goes, 84 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: did anybody ask Lindsay if when he was senator in 85 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and it was Bush v. Gore, did he 86 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: decide to make a phone call down to Florida to 87 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: see what was quote unquote going on. No, we did not, 88 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: because guess what, it wasn't in his fucking purview, right, 89 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't his responsibility as a random ass senator from 90 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: a state that was not in question. And so when 91 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: you're looking at what is transpiring in this country, Putin 92 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: is sitting back, applauding and patting himself on the back 93 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: for doing what many thought can never happen, right, which 94 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: was to crack open America's democracy using one of the 95 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: two political parties as your trojan horse. I mean, it's 96 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: really wild when you think about it, right, you think 97 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: about the things that the Republicans are saying, and the 98 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: projection that they are putting out there and recognizing that, 99 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, media again once again did not think to themselves, huh, Well, 100 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: if these one hundred and forty something House Republicans are 101 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: voting against the certification of the election because they say 102 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: that the election was fraudulent and yet they were on 103 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: the same ballot and won their seats on the same ticket, 104 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: why is it that just the one line of the 105 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: ballot for the presidential are you seemingly saying was fraudulent? 106 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: Did you hear one reporter ask that question to any 107 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: of the one hundred and forty some odd Republicans that 108 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: voted against certifying the election. No, that's just, you know, 109 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: a regular ask question. So, were you saying that your 110 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: election results were also illegitimate or it's only illegitimate if 111 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: you had lost, but because you won but Donald Trump 112 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: lost but on the same ballot for people, how does 113 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: that work? Exactly? Could you explain? And just wait? But 114 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: this is not the kind of questions that journalists s 115 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, because I guess you would seem what 116 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: what's the word too intelligent? Too informed? Lord only knows. 117 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: Here's what I will say with regard to this inquiry. 118 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: It's not going to go anywhere. It's going to be 119 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: a waste of money. It is going to be Benghazi 120 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: on steroids, which also turned up with nothing. And mind 121 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: you that Republicans are using the same tools that the 122 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: January sixth Committee used where they had thousands of documentation 123 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: people on the you know, testifying before the committee and 124 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: then their recommendations that they sent to the Department of Justice. 125 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: Do you think that this inquiry is going to go 126 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: anywhere to that extent, No, because there's no no, nothing, 127 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: There's no there there. But that's not the point. The 128 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: point is to continue to have this both sides ruffling 129 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: and have Biden's name alongside impeachment inquiry in the press. 130 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: And you know what the press is gonna do. Fucking 131 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: fall through that and they're gonna follow right those little 132 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: Hansel and Gretel fucking breadcrumbs that are laid out by 133 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: the Republican Party all the way over a fucking cliff, 134 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, because that's what they do, folks. As the 135 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: news is opening up this week, and I also want 136 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: to turn attention to the devastating earthquake that took place 137 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: in Morocco and then the devastating floods that have killed 138 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: thousands of people in Libya. We are in the climate crisis, right. 139 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: There is no denying that if you and fact have 140 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: active brain cells. I know that the Republicans don't, so 141 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about them, but I'm talking about everyone else. 142 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: What we are going to see increasingly in what we 143 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: are seeing is devastation that is going to cost thousands, 144 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: tens of probably thousands, millions of people's lives in areas 145 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: that do not have the infrastructure and do not have 146 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: the system in place like a FEMA to offer critical 147 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: resources and staff emergency aid on the ground. And what 148 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: is so horrible, right, is that all America media ever does, 149 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: all this show is devastation and rubble and death in 150 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: these areas of the world. And it has really stained 151 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: our mentality that these people are people, right, with full 152 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: lives and families and careers and aspirations and dreams, and 153 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: all we do is feed into exactly what like the 154 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: Indiana Jones series showed us about this region of the world, right, 155 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: so that we can sit up on our high horse 156 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: and think that, oh, but we're the developed world, right, 157 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: and these kind of things always happen to these people 158 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: over there, and so you don't get to you don't 159 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: have to waste your empathy, waste your time. That's how 160 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: American media corportize. Media shows these devastated areas. But when 161 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 1: it happens to white people in Europe, my god, we 162 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: got to stop everything, stop the presses, wall to wall coverage. 163 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: And it's just once again going to show you that 164 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: those that are responsible for the climate crisis that we 165 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: are in are not going to be the ones that 166 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: pay for it with their lives.
