1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: I hope that you enjoyed Friday's show with my friend

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: and friend of the show, the Reverend Mark Thompson, wanted

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: to provide you with some more context to what has

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: been going on on the ground on these college campuses

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: as we are watching them being broken apart their peaceful

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: protests with violent actions by militarized police. And the thing

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: that I keep thinking about is that this is where

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: our tax dollars go. They go to weaponize our police,

11
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: who then use brutal, horrific tactics against us. Right and

12
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: for those people who are like on social media talking

13
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: about these kids are getting exactly what they deserve. Really,

14
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: unarmed students who are speaking up against the genocide and

15
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: being met with brutal force or getting exactly what they

16
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: deserve because we have all forgotten the fact that America

17
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: was founded on a bunch of rowdy white men who

18
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: decided that they didn't want to pay taxes anymore and

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: threw a bunch of fucking tea in the water and

20
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: vandalize shit, Like do we forget that, or again, it's

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: only okay when white men do it, like when they

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: decide to take over the Capitol building and defecate in

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: the halls of Congress, like that's acceptable, right, Like, give

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: me a fucking break. I'm just so tired of the

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: blatant hypocrisy. And I got to tell you, and I,

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, like I struggle with, honestly sometimes sharing my

27
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: feelings because I feel so up and down.

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: I feel so upside down most of these days.

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: But I got to tell you that the longer this

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: war goes on, and I don't even know how you

31
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: call it a war. And this is why people call

32
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: it a genocide, because the Palestinian people have no weaponry, right,

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: because that's who's being killed. They're not fucking killing Hamas.

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: The goal was never to kill Hamas. The goal was

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: to extinguish the Palestinian people, right, which our tax dollars

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: are going to help do.

37
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Right.

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: It isn't about defending fucking Israel, Like, no, defend against

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: what right they're fucking dome that they have over their city,

40
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Like technology that we don't even have here in the

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: United States, but we send billions so that they have

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the technology to protect themselves against aggressors. Look, folks, I

43
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: just I got to tell you that the way that

44
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: this horrific genocide is going on, the way that like

45
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: our elected leaders are acting like the rest of us

46
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: don't know what is at play here, that like these students,

47
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: oh they don't know really know what's going on, blah

48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: blah blah. They know what the fuck they see and

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: that's actually enough, right, Like they know what they are seeing,

50
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: they know what they are hearing, which is why there's

51
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: this push to ban TikTok. It isn't about fucking China.

52
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: It's about information. It's about access to information and being

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: connected with people on the ground right in places where

54
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: genocide in war is taking fucking place, and seeing and

55
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: hearing with their own eyes instead of being filtered bullshit

56
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: through mainstream media that is in kafuts. Right with the

57
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: government in the same way to pacify.

58
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: The mathis like this is that's the fucking game.

59
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you know, I'm struggling because as time

60
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: goes on, y'all, I hate this fucking administration. I hate

61
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: this administration for making me choose between the lesser of

62
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: two evils. That's not motivating that's not inspiring. But that's

63
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: where the fuck we are. Joe Biden wants to get

64
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: up and talk about how you know you can have

65
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: descend without disorder and bol blah, what the fuck are

66
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: you talking.

67
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: About, bro? Like, what are you even saying?

68
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: The core purpose of protests right is to disrupt this

69
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: status quo. You don't do that by being quiet. You

70
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: don't do that by being orderly. You do that by

71
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: making a fucking scene and letting it be known that

72
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: you understand that the people that are have the power

73
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: to make a real difference refuse to do so. Tell

74
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: me right now, after forty thousand plus people, half of

75
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: which are children, have been killed, do you continue to

76
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: say that Israel has the right to defend itself against toddlers,

77
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: against six year olds.

78
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: You had fucking Casey Hunt on air talking about, oh.

79
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: They named Hamilton Hall on Columbia University when they when

80
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: the protesters took it over after a woman who was

81
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: killed in Gaza. It wasn't a woman, it was a

82
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: fucking six year old girl.

83
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: Baby. But this is what they do.

84
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: Those that are in power get to decide whose life

85
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: actually matters. It's why in the middle of a pandemic.

86
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: People left their homes to chant that black lives matter

87
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: because we know that in this country he does not.

88
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: It isn't just young people that are looking over to

89
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: the Middle East and saying what the fuck. It's everyone

90
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: from a marginalized community that knows what it's like to

91
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: be invisibilized and having it be done with our own money.

92
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: It's just becoming too much right, too much to push down,

93
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: too much to ignore and say full with a full

94
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: throat chest and heart to go and vote for Joe Biden.

95
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: And I know what the alternative is. I know that

96
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: it's the choice that I am going to make. I

97
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: am going to vote for Joe Biden. But I don't, honestly, y'all,

98
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: with good conscious, I don't know how I tell you

99
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: to do the same. What I'm gonna start telling people

100
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: is like, you need to vote with your heart. You know,

101
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you need to vote with your future and future generations

102
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: in mind. And if that leads you in a different direction,

103
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: then so be it. You just need to make decisions

104
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to live with. But

105
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: I am struggling to advocate and tell people that although

106
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: you're looking around and you're seeing the rise of fascism

107
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: and the militarization of our police, and the weaponization of

108
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: like our rights, and a Supreme Court that is ripping

109
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: them away in states, overturning bodily autonomy. I mean, I

110
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: don't know how you then tell people, oh, but it

111
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: will get worse. I know that it will. I know

112
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: that a majority of people listening to this show know

113
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: that it will get worse if Donald Trump is president.

114
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: But when you're starting now to compare really bad and

115
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: terrible and horrible with not so bad but also bad,

116
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, the distinctions start to

117
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: become really fuzzy. This is somebody who knows. I know

118
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump will be an absolute catastrophe and will

119
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: mark the end of democracy as we know it. I

120
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: know that, and yet I am struggling to tell people

121
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: that they need to be okay with a genocide, That

122
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: they need to be okay with the fact that if

123
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wins, and if for some strike of fucking luck,

124
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: we're able to hold on to the Senate and regain

125
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the House, you know that there still may not be

126
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: enough right in order to restore Roe v. Wade inside

127
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: of the constitution, right, because there are Democrats that function

128
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: like fucking Republicans, So there are people willing to sell

129
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: you out regardless, Like every election, we have work to

130
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: save this country after twenty sixteen, and look where the

131
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: fuck we are. So it's hard to be sitting in

132
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: a pile of shit and then being told that, oh,

133
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't smell that bad, right, hold, just keep holding

134
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: your nose. So you know, I I am in a

135
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: deep place of struggle, particularly now that news has come

136
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: out from the Hill dot com that came out on

137
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Friday of last week that Chuck Schumer is gonna link

138
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: arms with Speaker Mike Johnson and inviting net Yahoo to

139
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: address Congress. It's like, it's like they don't want to win,

140
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying. It's like I don't

141
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: know who the fuck is sitting at Biden's campaign headquarters

142
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, let's just throw the whole thing out.

143
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, we don't really have to work that hard.

144
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: The polls tell us that we're winning, so we'll be fine.

145
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: Everyone hates Donald Trump, but sir, they're actually starting to

146
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: hate you too. And this is the real talk that

147
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: like apparently people aren't giving Joe Biden that you can

148
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: do your little moves of student loan debt relief and

149
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: rescheduling marijuana. And you're thinking that what these young people

150
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: didn't just hear you call them a group of thugs.

151
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: The least you can do is not call in the

152
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: National Guard. But you're not telling the governors to stand down.

153
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: You're not telling the mayors of these cities to stand down.

154
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: You didn't direct young people and say, you know what,

155
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I want to invite some of these folks to the

156
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: White House. I want to hear them out. I want

157
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: to create a town hall moment so that we can

158
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: use this moment of friction and conflict in our country

159
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: as a teachable moment. It's just like, oh, just ignore

160
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: these ah, these kids, they don't know what they're doing.

161
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: They're not kids.

162
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: They're your fucking constituents. They're the future of this goddamn country.

163
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: And not only have we not done anything to make

164
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: their lives better or safer, we've actually done the opposite

165
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: generations is grown up with mass shootings. They don't know

166
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: a world without it. Some of them, at this point

167
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: in time, have been involved in multiple from middle school,

168
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: high school, college, out shopping. Oh, just stop eating avocado

169
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: toast and you can buy a home. How when corporate

170
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: greed wright has slowed down wages for the last several decades. Oh,

171
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: and boomers are still in their fucking jobs because some

172
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: of them now can't afford to retire. Because every other

173
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: day we hear about social security going away and Medicaid

174
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: going away?

175
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: So where is the room for generation Z?

176
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: You're old of you all? When I was your age,

177
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: I had this, this, this, and this. Yeah, because that's

178
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: when the government actually still.

179
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: Gave a shit.

180
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm just so over it. And I know that it's Monday,

181
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: all and I need to come in here with some

182
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: more hopefulness and energy that it's like we can do this.

183
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: But honestly, I don't know. I don't know. You know.

184
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: I pray to God every single day that I am wrong,

185
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: that somehow a miracle will overtake us, and you know,

186
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: we'll be able to save democracy. We'll be able to

187
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: stop a genocide, We'll be able to restore grow v wade,

188
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: We'll be able to restore firmative action, We'll be able

189
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: to restore voting rights. You know, we'll be able to

190
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: patch up this democracy. And have it look like something resembling,

191
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, a real democracy and not democracy fucking ish.

192
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know, so I don't know

193
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: how to convince people to swallow this really hard, sharp

194
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: pill that feels like a piece of fucking glass and

195
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: just having the repeated narrative of oh, Donald Trump will

196
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: be worse. It's like, okay, now, I know for people

197
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: like me. By worse, we mean that he will create

198
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: minigazzas all over this country. He will round people up,

199
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: take away their rights, label them as enemies of the state,

200
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: pillage this country to enrich himself, sell out our secrets.

201
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Also that he can what die on a gold toilet,

202
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: but that's what he'll do.

203
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: And worse. We know this. I've been laying it out.

204
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five lays it out right on a

205
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: heritage dot org's page nine hundred pages if you want

206
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: to get into it. Their vision of America is a

207
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: healthscape for everyone that is not white, straight, cis and male,

208
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: an absolute fucking healscape, something that we can't even fathom

209
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: and imagine because we've never experienced it. Where we are

210
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: right now is a slow burn, the slow death, the

211
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: death by a thousand cuts. As our democracy is crumbling falling.

212
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, there are some people that are just like,

213
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: fuck it, let it all burn down. But I want

214
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: folks to also recognize that the actions that we are

215
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: seeing take place on these college campuses that will be

216
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: the norm everywhere. Cops are a bunch of legalized fucking thugs, right,

217
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: been saying that when Donald Trump taught them back in

218
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen on Long Island where I'm from. Ah, it'll

219
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: be so nice. You can rough them up a bit,

220
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: and all those cops laughed and chuckled. They'll do whatever

221
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: the hell they want to whomever they want. And we

222
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: know that the police force is filled with a bunch

223
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: of fucking bigots. It doesn't matter what state you're in.

224
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: So with a president that gives them the green light

225
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: to beat the shit out of whomever they want to

226
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: start disappearing folks, they'll do it because they get to

227
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: live out their fantasies and their dreams. The stories that,

228
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, in New York, the stories

229
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: that black men, Latino men can tell you about being

230
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: ruffed up by police starting at the age of like ten.

231
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: But they don't cover that on the news. Right, because

232
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: those are those bad neighborhoods that will be everywhere. It

233
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: will be a license to harass, to torture, to beat,

234
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: to abuse, and there will be no recourse because, as

235
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: we've seen, Donald Trump and Maga own the courts, all

236
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: of them. So I just I tell you, I paint

237
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: the picture because I can no longer tell people, like

238
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying in good consciousness, to go ahead and vote

239
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. But what I can do is continue

240
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: to lay out the picture of where we are and

241
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: what it will look like. You know, some people are

242
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: willing to roll the dice. I'm not a fucking gambler,

243
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and I would rather have an administration that I think

244
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: can be moved and befind trying to activate people under

245
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: that administration than under a Trump regime that could cost

246
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: more people their lives. These are our choices, and they're

247
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: not fucking great. They really are not. And you know,

248
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: as I sit here at the beginning of this week,

249
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: not knowing what this week has in store, it is

250
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: just it's like holding your breath, you know. And I

251
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: tell us that, like breathing, is the most important thing

252
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: that we can do, because if we hold our breath,

253
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: our muscles clench, you know, and we produce disease, which

254
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: produces disease. But it's wild to me that Congress people

255
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: think that right now the best thing to do for

256
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: America is to bring net in Yahoo here. All you're

257
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: going to do is trigger god willing inshallah, like some

258
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: of the biggest protests that we have seen. And then

259
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: what do you do tell us that we're all crazy? Say, oh,

260
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: it's all just a bunch of what hamas lovers?

261
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: Me tell you something.

262
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, you live long enough, you see things repeat

263
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: and as people say, history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

264
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: That's where we are. And honestly, I don't know how

265
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: we see ourselves out of this, and I don't know,

266
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, I know that I'm not the only one

267
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: that is talking to people and listening to friends and

268
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: family question whether or not they're going to show up

269
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: on November fifth and vote for Joe Biden. So many

270
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: people saying he's lost my vote? How can I blame them?

271
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: I can't shame them. All I can do is continue

272
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: to say, well, you know, as bad as things are,

273
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: and they are really fucking bad, trust me that they

274
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: can get worse.

275
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: It's not enough.

276
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: That's not a winning argument, and that's the argument that

277
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: the Biden campaign is trying to make, and it's not sticking.

278
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: Hold on, folks. That's all I have to keep saying

279
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: is continue to hold on, to breathe, to take care

280
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: of yourselves, to take care of those around you, to

281
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: find respite because we're in for a bumpy fucking ride.

282
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, Dear friends on wokef

283
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: as always, Power to the people and to all the people.

284
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
