WEBVTT - Ignorance is Not Bliss 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.280 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woo Kate app daily 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:19.120 with me your girl, Danielle Moody recording from the home Bunker. Folks, 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.160 we have made it to the end of this good, 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.960 good week, and happy fuck it Friday to all who celebrate. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.560 There are so many people, but my number one. If 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.839 you guys caught my TikTok video, which I also posted 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.440 across my platforms because I'm just so fucking tired. I'm 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:46.360 just so tired of giving white racist, grown ass men 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.000 the benefit of the doubt and giving them the opportunity 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.040 to backpedal on shit that they mean when they say 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.760 it the first fucking time. Who am I talking about? 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:04.160 Senator Tommy tubber Bill from Alabama, who found himself needing 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:09.080 to backpedal after both Republicans and Democrats this week admonished 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.120 him for his comments about white nationalists being inside of 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.120 our military. Now we know that white nationalists are pretty 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.760 much every fucking where, including the US Senate. Looking at you, 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:27.279 Tommy Tuberville, And when as by a reporter right about 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.840 this very fact, he said, well, you may call them 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:37.040 white nationalists, I call them Americans. Then Tommy Tuberville, sixty 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.640 eight year old grown ass man has to be provided 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.000 with a definition of what a white nationalist is because 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.080 you know, in his sixty eight years, apparently he does 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.760 not know, which is why we need to be fucking 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.720 teaching history in schools and not the whitewashed version of history. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.480 But here's the thing, you're telling me that it's sixty 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.320 eight year old white man doesn't know what a fucking 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.680 white nationalist is. He absolutely fucking knows, you know why, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.720 because he is one. But I'm so sick and fucking 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.960 tired of watching mainstream media reporters fucking tap dance and 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.600 say to this man, are you sure that's what it is? 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.320 You mean, it's what the fuck he said, isn't it right? 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:28.640 So it's like, my god, unless these people are saying 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.160 the N word repeatedly on a regular basis, somehow we 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.119 must give them the benefit of the doubt, because at 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.520 sixty eight, at seventy five, at eighty something years old, 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.760 it seems that they never mature. We're just waiting for 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:49.880 them to grow into the job. It's absolute bullshit, the 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.680 perpetual adolescence that we allow white cis hetero men in 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.640 this country to have and to hold on to and 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.959 then we're gonna accept Tommy Tuberville's you know, bullshit apology, which, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.480 by the way, came in the form of when I 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.920 was a football coach at Auburn, I dealt with a 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:16.160 ton of minorities, dealt with like you mean, in the 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.600 way that I deal with an unruly child, the way 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.560 that I deal with taking out the trash, the way 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.640 that I deal with cleaning my bathroom. That doesn't actually 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.839 sound like you think with the equity in mind, right, 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.200 that doesn't actually sound like you give a fuck about 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.760 people of color so far as you can manage them 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:44.240 or deal with their presence. But once again Tommy Tuberville, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.080 he offers up the fact that, yes, now that I 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.320 understand at sixty eight years old what a white nationalist is, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.320 that's not what I meant. I'm not racist, and then 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.520 mainstream media gobbles it up and where good to go. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.800 It's absolute fucking bullshit. Speaking of bullshit, next up on 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.880 my fuck it Friday list is also Ran Paul another 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.720 Republican senator who has said time and time again he 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:19.039 was one of the biggest opposition against college athletes being 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:24.040 able to make money on their names and likeness. Now 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.960 this has been something that was pushed for a really 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:31.000 long time, finally made it through, And now college athletes 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.680 are able to make money off of their name and likeness. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.840 And why is that important? Then I'll get to what 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:43.640 ram Paul said. It's important because colleges and universities make 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.880 tens of millions of dollars a year off of their 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:54.200 athletic programs. The coaches make millions of dollars a year 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.400 off of the athletic programs. And do you know who 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.919 doesn't make any money but whose bodies get used for 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.400 these programs? The actual athletes, you know, the actual athletes 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.560 that are largely black and brown people. But rand Paul's 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.440 pushed back against that, said, well, now we're just gonna 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.760 have a bunch of college athletes riding around in rolls, 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.840 voices and you know and whatever other luxury cars. We're 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.240 gonna have a bunch of rappers instead of athletes. I'm sorry, what, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.280 because this is the quiet part that these motherfuckers say 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.040 out loud. They do not want black and brown people 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.320 to be able to First of all, I don't need 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.120 to justify how I spend my fucking money right that 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:45.640 I earn to you, white man, number two, what he 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.039 is saying is that you should not be able right 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.920 to benefit on the fruits of your labor. Only those 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.839 white people that are in charge of said programs in 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.560 said universities should be able to benefit from your labor. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.240 That is what ram Paul is saying with that statement 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.120 is that when you give black and brown people access 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.800 to be able to make money off of endorsements and partnerships, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.760 off of the work that they are putting in on 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.320 the field, on the track, and whatever programs that they 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:24.799 are in, it takes away from what exactly the white 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.680 people's bottom line. And so these two men, they are 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:35.080 not anomalies within the Republican Party. They are the Republican Party. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:42.000 They are the white nationalist, white supremaist party. And continuing 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.640 on this train of just overt racism, let's head over 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.560 now to the Moms for Liberty conference that was held 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.520 that showcased a bunch of the Republican candidates for president. 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.080 But there is one thing that stood out among the 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.240 fact that, mind you, the Southern Poverty Law Center has 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.200 referred to Moms for Liberty as a hate group because 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.600 they are and I have spoken about this before and 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.160 I actually sent out a thread around it earlier this 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.280 week where I said, you know what's really interesting because 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:23.800 I was listening to a really fantastic podcast and it 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.040 was what was really good about it. I was listening 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.800 it's like a two years old it's a Brene Brown's 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.400 podcast that's actually no longer running called Unlocking Us, but 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.680 all of the episodes are still there. And what I 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:43.600 really enjoyed about it. She was interviewing Clint Smith, and 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:49.400 in this interview, Clint Smith is talking about his new 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:54.960 book and the new his book was about racism in America, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.800 Racism in America as it pertains to really understanding slavery. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.160 And you'll have to go to my thread, which you 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.320 all should be following me if you're not following me, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.360 because that is where I am most of the time. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.360 He talked about in this interview with Brene Brown. The 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.280 Daughters of the Confederacy, now the Daughters of the Confederacy 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.440 were a group that popped up right following the Civil 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:27.360 War and essentially their role as the daughters and sisters 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:32.760 and wives of those Confederate soldiers. Their goal was to 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.959 erase what it was that the Civil War was fought over, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.680 which was the ability of white slave holders in the 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.680 South to be able to continue using free slave labor 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.280 right to perpetuate their growth and their wealth and the 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.680 growth of the economy. And what the Daughters of the 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.360 Confederacy did was come in and kind of, you know, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.960 rewrite how this actually played out. They're the reasons why 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.760 there were Confederate statues that in the twenty first century 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.760 were still coming down because they wanted to claim it 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.480 as a part of their history that should be honored 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.199 and recognized that you were taught in schools that were 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.880 named by Robert E. Lee and other members of the Confederacy. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.360 And as I'm listening to this interview, I thought to myself, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:30.880 holy shit, the Daughters of the Confederacy did exactly what 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.280 it is that Moms for Liberty are doing now. Moms 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.880 for Liberty right are the daughters, the sisters, and the 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:43.240 wives of the Oathkeepers, the Proud Boys, and all of 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.640 the other white supremacist groups that are led by men. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.600 And what is their goal. Their goal is to ban books, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:56.080 to rewrite curriculum, to create this white nationalized identity by 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:01.120 using school boards. They may wear lipsticks and bake cookies, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.200 but they are just as dangerous as the white male 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.760 counterparts that are storing the capitol buildings, that are using 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.959 AR fifteen's and just standing at school bus stops. Because 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.880 by the way, that actually happened. And so when you 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:21.760 think about what is old is always new again, this 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.160 is not something that was created out of thin air. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.600 They've had models for how they perpetuate their white supremacy. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.000 And so when we look at Moms for Liberty because 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.640 they have the word moms, because they have the word 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.719 liberty and their name. But these people at their conference, 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:47.520 folks were cheering for Hitler because in one of their 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:52.640 local chapters in their first newsletter, they quoted Hitler up top, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.280 and they doubled down on it when they were called out. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.360 And so when one of those moms took to the 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.040 stage at the conference and said the name Hitler, they 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:09.680 let out cheers. I shit you not. These are the 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:16.120 types of people that we are dealing with. Speaking of 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.040 things that we are dealing with, I want to draw 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.080 your attention to something that is not getting as much 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.600 attention in the news as I think that it should. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:33.000 So just recently, and this is pretty fucking wild, but 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:38.199 just recently, there have been multiple insurers that have said 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.079 that they are leaving the state of Florida, pulling out completely. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.160 A couple of weeks ago, the same happened in the 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.880 state of California. And so I want to read this 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:55.520 to you from Newsweek, because this is what the fuck 0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:00.920 happens when you deny reality, when install ytead of creating 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.960 policies that will fight against climate change, you just pretend 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.280 it doesn't exist. Because you know who's not pretending it 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:13.400 doesn't exist, fucking businesses and insurance companies. So this is 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:18.680 what Newsweek is reporting. Farmers Insurance has become the latest 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.680 insurance company to pull out of Florida, despite repeated efforts 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.880 by Republican Governor Ron De Santis and the state legislator 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:31.000 to shore up the volatile market. On Tuesday, Farmers informed 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.680 the state that it is discontinuing new coverage of auto, 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.480 home and umbrella policies, a move that will reportedly affect 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.480 one hundred thousand policies. And I want to bring your 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:49.040 attention to what was said in their statement right quote. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:55.800 With catastrophe costs at historically high levels and reconstruction costs 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:00.720 continuing to climb, we implemented a pause on writing new homeowners' 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:07.880 policies to more effectively manage our risk exposure. Folks, Ignorance 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:13.079 is fucking expensive and the only people that are going 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:18.520 to continue to be harmed by Republican politicians refusing to 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:23.360 do anything to actually help their constituents and instead instead 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.360 go along with the gas companies, go along with the 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.400 coal companies, go along with everyone that is continuing to 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:36.560 perpetuate harm on our environment so that they can increase right, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:44.720 their fucking wealth. It is going to be middle class 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.199 and working class people who are going to lose out. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:56.960 Why do I say this, Well, because homeownership is still 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:04.480 the best way in this country to build Well. What 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:09.760 we do know is that because of climate change, storms 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.960 have gotten worse. Tornado seasons have started earlier and run longer. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.040 We are seeing fires like the one that is burning 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.880 in Canada that is affecting our air quality all across 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:29.040 the United States. We're seeing these things happen repeatedly. Where 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:34.160 you see headlines that say historic tornado season, historic fire season, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:39.240 historic hurricane season. They are already predicting that there are 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.680 going to be multiple hurricanes that hit the Florida Gulf 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:50.760 region right at a category five you're talking Katrina levels, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:57.680 You're talking Maria levels that have devastated entire states that 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:05.520 run into the millions in damage. I've said this before 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:11.280 and I will say it again. We cannot afford to 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:16.600 be ignorant about taking on climate change. We cannot afford it. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.720 But who is going to be harmed are those people 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.200 who do not have the ability to rebuild, because guess 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:30.000 what when they're let's say, three hundred thousand dollars home 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:35.320 is completely demolished by the floodwaters that are caused by 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.200 a hurricane. Flood insurance, by the way, they already don't 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.720 have that in Florida. They've already done away. But when 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.120 your home is taken out and you don't have any 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.480 insurance and what the rebuild is coming out of your 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.840 fucking pocket. A majority of Americans can't pay a four 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.320 hundred bill four hundred dollar bill that comes due. You 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.640 think these people are going to have what just another 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.040 three hundred, four hundred thousand dollars laying around in order 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.880 to buy a new fucking home or to be able 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:14.680 to relocate. It is going to be the middle class 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.760 and the working class and the poor that are gonna 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.760 be the ones that are most adversely affected. And the 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.880 thing that kills me is that there are things that 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:29.040 can be done. There are decisions that could be made 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.720 in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, but 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.640 they are choosing not to do it. And not only 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.040 are they choosing not to do it, they're choosing to 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.760 lie to people about it. The very people that are 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.480 voting for the Republican Party are the people that can't 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:51.200 fucking afford to rebuild. But they're cheering on Donald Trump 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.520 and Ron DeSantis that want to cut all social safety nets. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.240 I mean, talk about cutting off your nose to spite 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:05.520 your face. So what I want folks to realize is 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:11.119 that this is happening in California, it's happening in Florida. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.240 It won't be too soon before it comes to a 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:20.160 state near you. Because what we know just recently, right 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:25.359 there were tornadoes that were said to be touching down 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:30.639 near O'Hare Airport in Chicago, where people needed to shelter 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.920 in place at the airport. This is a fucking city, folks, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:41.200 This ain't We're a rural area. So what happens if tornadoes, 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:48.000 all of these tornadoes touched down. You're talking about hurricanes 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.760 that are staying over land masks for hours upon hours 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:58.280 in places that we don't normally see those types of hurricanes. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.800 So what we know, oh, is that California and Florida 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:09.480 are just the first of many. So who is going 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.679 to be most adversely affected? When insurance companies say, you 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.120 know what, you buy a home, You're on your own. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:24.480 We don't have your back, So you know for that, 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.720 I say, you know, fuck it to the entirety of 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.560 the Republican Party that has us in this place, but 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:35.400 also right the Joe Mansions and the cursing, fucking cinemas 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:41.560 of the world, who, without their obstructionism, we would have 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:47.119 been able to pass historic climate change legislation in this country. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:53.439 Ignorance is not blissed. It costs fucking money and it's 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:59.320 gonna cost people's lives. And the reaction from the Democratic 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.199 Party should not be finger waving. It should be talking 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.639 to the American people about their bottom line. Say we 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.879 as a party, we care about your bottom line, We 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.320 care about your ability to access the American dream. You 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.560 can't do that with this Republican Party because they are 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.440 not looking out for you. They do not care about you. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.240 And as a matter of Pact. They are voting against you. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.600 That needs to be the response. This is going to 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:36.119 be a first line of many that we are going 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.439 to see happen, and it is going to be the 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:50.520 ninety nine percent that bear one hundred percent of the catastrophe. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.119 That is it for me today, Dear friends on woke 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:59.199 af as always, tell me, if you are my Patreon 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.200 what you are saying fucket to in the comment section, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.680 And if you follow me on threads, which is where 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.040 I'm spending most of my time.
