1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wikap Daily with Meet

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody recording in a very interesting manner

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: from the Brooklyn Bunker. Folks, let me tell you something.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: This is my first woke Wednesday posts the Thanksgiving holiday

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: break and with a couple of weeks until we enter

6
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: into full thrust holiday season, and you know, about eleven

7
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: and a half months or so until we meet the

8
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: presidential election of twenty twenty four. And I have to

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: tell you that I am absolutely and completely and totally

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: fucking terrified. I have not felt this level of stress, concern,

11
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and worry in a very long time. Why is that, Well, one,

12
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: because I've been focusing on self care and on meditation,

13
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: and on exercise and on you know, a whole host

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: of ways in order to keep myself grounded in a

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: very important way, as I hope all of you are

16
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: as well. I've also made it a point to not

17
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to polls this far out, you know, of

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: a presidential election. That all being said, like you, I

19
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: went home for the holidays, or maybe you had your

20
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: family or friends or family come to you. And of course,

21
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: probably since the beginning of the MAGA Trump error, you

22
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: cannot like steer clear of politics. Thankfully, in my family

23
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: we all share for the most part, the same political

24
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: affiliation and party. So it's not about necesscessarily going into

25
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: a dinner or conversation with your racist uncle or your

26
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: you know, or your homophobic parents or anything like that.

27
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Like that's not my situation. However, I did engage in

28
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: several conversations with friends who listen to my shows, who

29
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: follow politics, who are extraordinarily, you know, highly educated by

30
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: traditional standards of what education looks like. And I will

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: tell you, dear fucking friends, that they don't want to

32
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: vote for Biden in the next presidential election, that they

33
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: in many ways are putting down their stake in the

34
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: ground and saying that they are no longer going to

35
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: be forced to vote by fear, that they are going

36
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: to vote their values, and that they are not going

37
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: to side with an administration and condone the policies out

38
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: of an administration that is allowing for tens of thousands

39
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: of Palestinian people to be murdered, half or more of

40
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: those being children, on our watch, on our dime, on

41
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: our time, And that you know many of the people,

42
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and that I am speaking with and have spoke to

43
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, things to the effect of, I'm

44
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: going to vote my values. I'm going to vote my consciousness,

45
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: and my conscious does not tell me to align myself

46
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: with a supposed democratic party that condones and celebrates, you know, democracy.

47
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: I guess for democracy ish to tag my other show

48
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: on our soil right and not recognize or hold accountable

49
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: this state of Israel from committing war cribs right and

50
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: not upholding international law. You know, I was listening most

51
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: recently to an anchor on MSNBC, and folks, I almost

52
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: died because that anchor said, how, you know, how can Israel, like,

53
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: should Israel essentially be expected to uphold international law when

54
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: they're fighting against a horrific, you know, terrorist organization? The

55
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: fuck you think international law was created? Right, It doesn't

56
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: mean that. Oh so I guess then when America said

57
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: that it was fighting ISIS or al Qaeda, that then

58
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: that is that what condones the level of force and

59
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: violence and archaic right use of force because oh those

60
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: people are terrorists. Let us understand, and I am not

61
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: at all. Let me be very fucking clear. Condoning violence,

62
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: condoning terrorism, condoning anything of that nature. But if those

63
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: that are a part of let's say the United Nations,

64
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: those that are a part of right, the foreign affairs, diplomacy,

65
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: global relations community totally right disregard international law because of

66
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: who they're fighting, and they're the ones that get to

67
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: tell that, get to decide and get to define who

68
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: those people are, then the rule of law right just

69
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: false because the only way that the rule of law

70
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: persists is if everyone who signed up in agreement to

71
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: said law uphold it regardless of what they are faced with.

72
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: We have tribunals right for a fucking reason. And what

73
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: people are seeing now, folks and what like we can't

74
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: continue to ignore is that you can't. And I just

75
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: reread President Biden's op ed in the New York Times

76
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: that came out about eleven days ago. By the time

77
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: that you listen to this, and I encourage you, if

78
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you haven't read it, to read it, where he conflates

79
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: the cause of US defending US meeting US the large

80
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: usus A defending the Ukrainian people right and providing them

81
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: with weapons to be able to combat Putin, and US

82
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: using those same weapons to help Israel defend itself. These

83
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: two situations are not the fucking same. And whoever okayed

84
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: that op ed pooh pooh on you, because you clearly

85
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: do not have the basic contextualized understanding of foreign affairs

86
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: if you're putting those two crises in the same bucket. Now,

87
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I understand for political reasons why Joe Biden did that,

88
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: because he's dealing with a House of Representatives being led

89
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: by a right wing, rabid, fucking lunatic right Mike Johnson

90
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: who said that he is not going to provide funds

91
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to continue the defense of the Ukrainian people right, because

92
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: we know that the Republican Party is in the pocket

93
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: of Putin right. Who Donald Trump is in the pocket

94
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: of Putin right. So we get here when Mike Johnson said, well,

95
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: we'll provide aid to Israel, right and let us all

96
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: like this is also fucked up too, because we also

97
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: know the Republican Party is filled with a bunch of

98
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: anti Semits. And there is a larger reason as to

99
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: why there's a Christo fascist reason as to why all

100
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden they want to come to the aid

101
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: of Israel, right. And I want folks to like do

102
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: some research about that, but it basically has to do

103
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: with the creation of Israel in the first place, and

104
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: the believing that like the second Coming of Christ, will

105
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: come through there. Right, Like it is when I say

106
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: that Mike Johnson and the Mike Pences and the Mitch

107
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: when I say that these motherfuckers are nuts, this is

108
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: the type of shit that I'm talking about. Nonetheless, in

109
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: this op ed, Joe Biden conflates these two causes as

110
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: a way right to say that if you're not gonna okay,

111
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: the fun like these two issues without the United States leadership, right,

112
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: we are creating a vacuum for authoritarianism and terror in

113
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: the world. Now, folks, these two things are not the

114
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: fucking same. Right, On one hand, you have Vladimir Putin

115
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: who is held them on rebuilding the USSR. Right, this

116
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: is the Ukraine is a crown jewel, not only for

117
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: their uranium and their oil reserves, huge in terms of

118
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: money and power and access. Right, So we understand that,

119
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: but also right that if you can take them, then

120
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: you can begin right to fill up your side of

121
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the chessboard, okay, and then you will be able to

122
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: have the power right to align with for a function

123
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: of a massive global takeover with China and other folks

124
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: that you share interest in, which is what is that

125
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: shared interest? A weakened or demolished United States, which Putin

126
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: had already begun with the installation of a Donald Trump. Right,

127
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: follow me, Okay, this is not the same as a

128
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: seventy five year occupation that has been going on in Israel, right,

129
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: an occupation of the Palestinian people. What people are waking

130
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: up to now which they haven't known? Right? And why

131
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: haven't they known this? Not through any fault of their own.

132
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, right, like we don't do we barely

133
00:10:53,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: do fucking domestic policy and civics in school, let alone

134
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: global Right Americans don't we always say in media, Americans

135
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: don't care about what is happening elsewhere because it doesn't

136
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: have any general or deep implications in their day to

137
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: day lives. Right, And what you hear often is why

138
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: are we sending so much money overseas when we don't

139
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: invest in our own social safety nets and domestic policies

140
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: in a way that help better the lives of the

141
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: American people. I digress, fast forward right to America's hand

142
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: in the creation of Israel, and fast forward to our

143
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: continual financial support in the billions of dollars a year,

144
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: not a billion billions of dollars a year for Israel

145
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: to be able to have get this, you know, free

146
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: healthcare for people israelis, but for people inside of Israel,

147
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: right and beyond, right and beyond other measures that you know,

148
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: we're told that we can't have here in the United

149
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: States because apparently we can't handle nice things. I don't know,

150
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: but our own tax dollars go to ensure that other

151
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: people have nice things. I digress. The fact is that

152
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: where did Israel get the idea for their type of

153
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people, Because if there

154
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: is a united Palestine, then Israel will cease to exist.

155
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: Has always been the belief of the far right right,

156
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: which now occupies the Knesset and holds a sea slip

157
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: of the tongue there Net Nyahu's be to the fire. Okay.

158
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: So the United States continues to uphold this idea of

159
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Israel being the only democracy in the Middle East, when

160
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: in fact they're not actually a democracy, okay. And that's

161
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: what people are becoming aware of now. We use a

162
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: lot of rhetoric and words in the United States liberty, freedom, justice,

163
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: all of these things that make us believe that any

164
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: time that the United States walks out into the world,

165
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: that it is because of this idea of the preservation

166
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: of global democracies. What we don't know is how Israel,

167
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: to the extent that it is a democracy, is in

168
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: name only and only for israelis because the Palestinian people

169
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: have a whole other set of rules and laws that

170
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: they must abide by that are completely and totally different

171
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: from the state of Israel. Okay, where do they get

172
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: this idea from? Let me think about it. Can we say,

173
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: Jim Crow? Right? Can we talk about American segregation? Can

174
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: we talk about where did the idea around apartheid come from?

175
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Maybe America. We don't just export weapons, we export ideology

176
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: as well. So what we through fighting, protesting, people dying,

177
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: being assassinated through the courts, were able right to do

178
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: away with Jim Crow and really institute quote unquote democracy

179
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: in the United States. But truly not until nineteen sixty

180
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: five in the passage of the Voting Rights Act. While

181
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: we were busy trying to institute democracy here, we kept

182
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: saying that Israel was also this democracy, but it wasn't.

183
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Why are people so angry right now because they recognize

184
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: and are becoming hip to the fact that their money

185
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: is being used to kill tens of thousands of people,

186
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: namely children, in their name and in the name of democracy.

187
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: When we write at are continuing to be at war

188
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: right at home and ideological war that we are losing

189
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: with the Republican Party that wants to institute chrysto fascism here.

190
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: So they are looking at Israel and not in Yahoo's

191
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: power to destroy Gaza and this menace of a population

192
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: and saying, hmm, that looks nice. When we're in power,

193
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: we'll be able to create two sets of laws, three

194
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: sets of laws, or however many, and we'll control all

195
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: of the branches and mechanisms of power to uphold our

196
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: chrysto fascist ideology. You see their stakes here. But here's

197
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: the problem. Biden and the Biden administration ain't getting it

198
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: that a lot of their base is viewing their policy

199
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: in Israel right and Palestine through a social justice and

200
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: racial justice lens. And what they are seeing and what

201
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: they are fearing is that if we continue to support

202
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: this administration and this horrific, horrific, murderous rampage that has

203
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: been going on for the last seven weeks. If we

204
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: can ignore what is happening in Palestine, then when it

205
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: comes to us, those that are not white cis straight, men,

206
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: right and Christian in the United States, what's to stop

207
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Who is going to stop this from happening to us?

208
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: Now you will say, well, Danielle, if people don't vote,

209
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: that is like voting for Trump. And guess what. I

210
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: fucking agree with you, and you are absolutely right, But

211
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: guess what matters messaging. Guess what matters even more your

212
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: policy matching your messaging. So you cannot call us again

213
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: and say that you are fighting for the soul of

214
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: America and fighting for democracy while funding the complete opposite

215
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: someplace else with our money. You cannot tell us right

216
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is the best alternative when he seems

217
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: to be completely tone fucking death with regards to what

218
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: is happening on the ground in the United States. So

219
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: why am I filled if it's such panic and fucking

220
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: dread eleven and a half months ahead of the twenty

221
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: twenty four election, Because I see no fucking pivot in sight.

222
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: They think that they're doing a great job, and the

223
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Republican Party pretty much just has to sit by and

224
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: continues stacking fucking money like they're doing at the Heritage Foundation,

225
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: which is put together their twenty twenty five takeover fucking plan.

226
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: When I tell you that we are in fucking trouble,

227
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: believe me, because while you all know that I am

228
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: not the one to feign, you know, optimism, that I

229
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: hold on to my mustard seed of hope, I am

230
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: holding on so fucking hard I may crush it right now.

231
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: That's how terrified I am becoming of the numbers that

232
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: we are seeing. Because what happens right when people decide

233
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: that not only are they going to vote, but they're

234
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: also not going to help get out the vote. Right,

235
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: we need as much enthusiasm as possible, and that is

236
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: dwindling by the fucking minute. We have absolutely no time,

237
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: eleven and a half months in this fucking day, and

238
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: age goes by like that. So I am becoming increasingly

239
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: worried about this organization, this organization, and I mean this administration,

240
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: like and all of the organizations that are pro democracy,

241
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: pro social justice, pro civil rights, being able to continue

242
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: to feed people not just oh I'm not Trump, but

243
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: to feed them some type of hopefulness and you can't

244
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: feed hope when all we're fucking scrolling through is just instruction, devastation,

245
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: and death. So, folks, on this woke Wednesday, I'm gonna

246
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: ask you all. I need you to start doing informal polls, right.

247
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: I need you to start pulling together focus groups with

248
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: your people, your friends, your colleagues. Start taking folks as

249
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: temperature on where they are right now in terms of

250
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: how they are thinking about twenty twenty four, if they're

251
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: thinking about it at all, which I know that a

252
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: majority of you who listen to me absolutely are. But

253
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: are your people? And then tell me in the content

254
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: section what folks are saying, because then you will start

255
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: to maybe get the same feeling or maybe you have

256
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: better news for me. Right, tell me what state you

257
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: were listening from, right, tell me you know what you

258
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: were seeing in terms of ads and on the TV

259
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: and rumblings at your schools and your ptas and your

260
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, board meetings or what have you. Because folks

261
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: need a better picture of what the fuck is happening

262
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: because what I am seeing, what I am hearing is

263
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: not great. Right, And as somebody with fifty eleven fucking podcasts,

264
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: we gotta ship the messaging and it's gotta happen soon.

265
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: That is it for me today. Dear friends on Woke
