WEBVTT - Biden Is Losing

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Meet Your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>I need to say something, which is why I have

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>so many podcasts. But the reality here is that I

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>believe that people are not getting the situation that we're in.

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And when I say the situation that we're in.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean the fact that Biden is.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Now fundraising behind Donald Trump. He is pulling behind Donald Trump.

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>We are five months out from the election. Biden refuses

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to make a pivot on his quote unquote ironclad support

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 1>for Israel. As they starve, blow up children, starve, millions

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of people, lie about all of their mistakes. The list

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>goes on and on when it pertains to Israel and

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>their fucking lies. We are becoming and by we, I

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:27.919
<v Speaker 1>mean America is beginning to become isolated on the world

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>stage as more and more countries begin to recognize Palestine

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>as a separate state. Belgium, as I've said earlier this week,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>has called for sanctions against Israel, and the growing outrage

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>is falling on non listening ears when it pertains to

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the White House. Anthony Blincoln said recently, Oh the invasion

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of Rafa and blowing up babies did not cross the

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:05.559
<v Speaker 1>red line that folks are playing back the clip when

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Biden was on CNN with Aaron Burnett and said that

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 1>RAFO would be the red line. So you're full of shit, right,

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And this is what people, and by people, I mean voters,

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>are beginning two cents. And I reposted something in my

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>stories yesterday that I've been seeing going around and it's

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>mostly obviously my progressive, thoughtful friends that are reposting this message,

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and I want to read it to you because I

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like this is the urging that people are trying

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:50.519
<v Speaker 1>to do with the Biden administration that is seemingly becoming

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>increasingly out of touch with their voters. And here it is.

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>You were allowed to say, at any point I can't

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>support this, even if you did, even if you were

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 1>on sure, you can at any point say this has

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>gone too far. And while the best time to say

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that was earlier, second best time is now. Biden believed,

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>because of his forty plus years in government, that the

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>preservation of the state of Israel was somehow the responsibility

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of the United States to not support Israel was to

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>be anti Semitic, was to not stand with Israelis and

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>those that practice Judaism. We have evolved from that place,

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and while the place that we are in now is

0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>huh tenuous at best, right, we are in a place

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>where leaders as well as constituents are beginning to do

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the hard work of recognizing that to condemn the acts

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of Netanyahu, the IDF, and the government of Israel is

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>not to condemn the Jewish faith. That it is the

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>job and has been the job of our leaders to

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>part and parcel that out. Just in the same way

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump is not a representation of America and

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>America's values, he represents thirty percent of the population. It

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>is then fair to say that with all of the

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>protests that you see in Tel Aviv by Israelis, by

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the families of the hostages, that they have had a

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>f fucking enough. So are we to look at those

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>protesters in Israel and say that they must be anti Semitic, right,

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>because mainstream media isn't covering the fact that thousands upon

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>thousands upon thousands of Israelis are in the streets on

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a regular fucking basis calling for the resignation of this murderous, fascist,

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>lunatic so there does come a time when it is

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>beyond important to recognize that you've.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Made a mistake.

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>That is what distinguishes to me true leadership right from authoritarianism.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 1>True leadership in a democracy is about recognizing that you

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 1>don't have all the answers and that there is room

0:05:54.560 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to grow to learn. So this art and support hurt

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>that comes with no formulation of ideas around new information,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you, seems very trumpish to me, right

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're not willing to take new information and formulate

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a new strategy. And I'm wondering if the Biden administration,

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>if the campaign thinks that the donors that they may

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>upset are enough to get them elected, because I gotta

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I don't fucking think so. Because if you're

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>looking at a handful of donors versus the millions of

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.239
<v Speaker 1>people that are beginning to turn their back not only

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>on this administration, but on the campaign, on the possibility

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>of voting altogether because they can't stomach what they are seeing,

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you're telling me that the handful of donors that's what's

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>going to carry you to victory, because it's not. You

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>have to in this moment, the Biden campaign has got

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to have more faith in the fucking people of this

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>country than the pocketbooks of a select amount of donors.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>He has got to get out of that fucking bubble

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of a campaign and that bubble of a White House

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and start taking the temperature of people who are pissed,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>who are angry, who are beside themselves. He's doing the

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>work around trying to alleviate student loan debt, He's doing

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the work of trying to, you know, work around this

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>right wing, rabid Supreme Court. But the work that he's

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>not doing is really listening to the people.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 2>That are.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>So disgusted, so grief stricken by what they are seeing

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>across their screens on a regular basis, And for his

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of State, blinking to have the audacity to say, oh, well,

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't know, we don't know if we can validate

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>these numbers. What are you talking about? Do you think

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>we're dumb. It's difficult, right, We all know this. It's

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>difficult to admit when you've made a mistake. But being

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>able to make that mistake, take responsibility and accountability for

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that mistake, and learn from it so as not to

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>make the same mistake again is what builds character, and frankly,

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is what allows us to function as a democracy.

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 2>When you know better, you do better.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>But what we are seeing with this campaign is that

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>they're they're fucking lying to themselves in the hopes that

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>if you tell yourself enough lies, then eventually you'll believe it.

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>But the problem is is if you tell yourself enough lies, right,

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>you become so disillusioned from the reality the rest of

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>us are operating it. So when I see articles like

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the one that came out at the beginning of this

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>week in Politico entitled Dems in full blown freak out

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>over Biden, right, all of these people quoted but speaking

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>on the flex of anonymity, and I call it flex.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm saying that tongue in cheek because you don't

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>have a spine. No one wants to be on the

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>record saying that the campaign is doing something wrong. No,

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>let's just do a post mortem after from our fucking

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>cells in Guantanamo. I'm trying to express to people that

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>this election is not about one issue. It is about

0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>every fucking issue. You have Fucking Nikki Haley signing bombs

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that are tearing apart people's bodies. That's what the fuck

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party thinks about what is happening in Gaza

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and in Rafa. They think that it's a moment for glee.

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that they will unleash when they

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>have the power to do so domestically? You don't have

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to wonder, because they tell you. In Project twenty twenty five,

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is telling us in every fucking incoherent rally

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that he gives there will be no protests, there will

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>be no voting, there will be no institutions, that they

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 1>will not gut. This country will become a shell of itself.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And if you think that it's bad now, I want

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you to think about how bad it is is, how

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:57.719
<v Speaker 1>desperate you.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Feel, and then multiply that by a million.

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.079
<v Speaker 1>So when I see posts like one that I saw

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>yesterday on Instagram, you know, folks, I oftentimes get really frustrated, right,

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I get really frustrated by outlets that are not political,

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>outlets that are providing really poor advice to their followers.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Afropunk is an outlet that has produced a myriad of

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>cultural events that move outside of the stereotypes and scope

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>of what we think black culture black music is. They

0:11:54.960 --> 0:12:00.439
<v Speaker 1>stand for, you know, humanity and progress and equity and justice.

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And I respect their lens. But what I do not

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking respect is a recent post that I came across

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>where they write independent presidential candidates for twenty twenty four election.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't need to settle for the lesser of two evils.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Swipe through to meet the independent candidates who bring unique

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>perspectives and fresh ideas to the election. They go on

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to say this election is particularly challenging. Many voters are

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>reluctant to support Biden due to his administration's backing of

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Israel's ongoing attack on Palestine. Conversely, some see Biden as

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the only viable option to prevent Trump's return to power.

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Key voter concerns include international relations, particularly with Israel, student loans, immigration, homelessness, taxes, inflation,

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and public health. These issues are driving the urgency and

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the intensity of decisions this election season. Then they go

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>on to list these fucking independent candidates. And here is

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>what I wrote in response. I said, quote, let me

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>be clear, if you vote third party in this election,

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you are voting for Trump. Jill Stein helped to upset

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton's campaign in twenty sixteen. Imagine where we would

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>be right now where the courts would be. Do not

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>promote this bs unless you have an exit strategy in place.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I urge everyone to understand and read Project twenty twenty

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>five on the Heritage Foundation's website. It provides the Republican's entire, dark,

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>dystopian future for decades and decades to come. This election

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't about one issue, It's about everything. Do not throw

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>away your vote in protest. Look, I understand that for

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>years we have been telling people in every presidential election,

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>every midterm election, that this is the most consequential election

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of your lifetime. And the reality is, folks, it fucking

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>has been. And why do I say that, Because what

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>we watched at the beginning of this new century was

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a hardening of the Republican Party and the rise of

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>their fascistic fantasies that were once on the margins in

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the Tea Party and in Birtherism, and that have now

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>become central tenants of their policy and their ideology. They

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>want to roll this country back to the nineteenth century.

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>In the nineteenth century, only white men had the right

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to vote, women did not have bodily autonomy, Black people

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>were still enslaved, Queer people were thrown in jail. The

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>economy was not in a great fucking place. They want

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the nineteenth century, right to the

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>times of these fucking hoarding, greedy ass titans, titans of

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 1>industry that possessed and awarded all of the wealth and

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>also all of the power. The twentieth century brought a

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>social revolution where in the span of fifty some odd

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>years we saw women, people of color, queer people access

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the same rights and responsibilities of citizenship through the courts.

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And now those very same courts that are packed with

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>right wing judges are rolling back and peeling back every

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of progress in the twentieth century. You know, I

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>was reading the other day. It was actually funny Women's

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Health magazine reading this article about how women are choosing

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>not to have kids and it's becoming less and less

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of a stigma. And in the article they talked about

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that childless couples in twenty twenty one, when polled,

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>rose seven percent in this country, And I think about, like, oh, amazing.

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, people recognize that they have choices. Women in

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>particular recognize that they have choices. They don't have to

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>just choose the path that everyone else has been on,

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>they can choose something else, right, And then it'd occurred

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to me as I'm reading this article that these are

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the same studies that have prompted the Republicans backlash against

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>reproductive freedom. Now, don't get it twisted. They have been

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>hammering against reproductive freedom ever since Roe v. Wade became

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the law of the land in nineteen seventy four. But

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the reality is that there is less couples that are

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>getting married, less people that are having children, and in

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>their eyes, that means that the browning of this country

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>accelerates because white people, wealthy white folks not having as

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>many fucking kids, or having kids at all.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>So a way to.

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Keep their numbers in their mind was roll back abortion,

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.679
<v Speaker 1>go after no fault divorce, put women back in the

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.479
<v Speaker 1>shackles of the nineteenth century where they had no power,

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 1>no voice, no bodily autonomy. White men controlled everything. Now

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.959
<v Speaker 1>there are some women, like the fucking tried wives that

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you see on TikTok that love this idea. Oh, I

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to have to worry about that little thing

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 1>called thinking. Though, for the rest of us that are

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.640
<v Speaker 1>not being fitted currently for our handmaid's tail cloaks are

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>seeing very transparently through these actions, get women out of

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the workforce, because if they're fucking up to their necks

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>with a bunch of babies that they can't afford. We

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>saw what happened during COVID. They're the first to have

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to leave the workforce to care for the children at home,

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>which then what gives a wide runway back to white

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 1>men so that they can reclaim their power. But you

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>see the reason for this is that rather than actually,

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, learning new skills, are trying or having

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to compete like the rest of us have, what they

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.239
<v Speaker 1>are doing is clearing the run way. We'll get rid

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of affirmative action right that gave equity and opportunity to

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>people of color to access the same I don't know, jobs, positions, colleges,

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you name it.

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 2>That's wiped away, will take away.

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Women's bodily autonomy, and lo and behold, twenty twenty four

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>turns into nineteen twenty four. So while we applaud the

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 1>progress that this country has made over the last two

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty eight years, Republicans see that progress as

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a threat, and right now they are in the position

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of power to ensure that that threat is snuffed out

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>for good for multiple generations to come. The final lynchpin

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in their fucking evil scheme is the White House that

0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>they will never give up again. So what is it

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be. What are we willing to stomach? What

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 1>are we willing to.

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Push through in order to ensure that this is not.

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>The last year of democracy in America? Because that's what

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the fuck this is about. Democracy is not perfect. This

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>country is far from perfect, and what we're learning more

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and more, it's far from exceptional. But the reality is

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is that we can push more and do more with

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 1>a democratically minded president than with a fucking fascist to

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>lot easier to fight for your freedom when you're not

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>in prison. And I want people to hold on to

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that fucking truth as we battle through the next five months,

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>because this will not be done in November. Even if

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden wins, It's never going to be done. So

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 1>this idea that things are going to go back to

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>normal and things are going to be easy again, it's not.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 1>This country is in the same position as other countries

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>have been for decades.

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Fighting for your freedom.

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Is a part of the process of holding onto democracy

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and once we are stabilized, then we can have conversations

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>about expanding the court, about a multi party system.

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 2>But how do we have that.

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>When the threat that is looming overhead is so fucking dangerous?

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Now is not the time? And I know that they'll

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>people say, well, it's never the time, It's never the time. Well,

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're a gambler, you tell me how much are

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you willing to risk? And if you have children, or

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 1>you're an auntie or an uncle, I want you to

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>look at the young children, if you have any in

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 1>your life, or you're a teacher, and you look at

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:12.199
<v Speaker 1>your students, how much is their future worth? Because the

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>GOP already put a price tag on it. That is

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it for me today, Dear friends on wokef as always,

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Power to the people and to all the people.

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
