1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to WOKF Daily with Meet 2 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: your Girl Danny Almody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Happy woke Wednesday. I don't know about you, but I 4 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: am just dying to barrel towards this holiday weekend, and 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: I wish that there was no news to report. You know, 6 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: I missed the days when things used to slow down? 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: Do you remember that? I don't even know when that was. 8 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: Was it twenty fifteen? Was it twenty fourteen? Where you 9 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: could predict the patterns of our politics? And I knew when, 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, I could take a break versus when I 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: could not. And oh, it's going to be the holiday, 12 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: so it's going to be slow. No, none of that 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: is happening and hasn't happened in quite some fucking time. 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: So let's get into it with some of the stories 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: of this week. So, the defense has rested in Donald 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Trump's electoral interference case aka the hush money case. They 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: provided two witnesses, and now after the Memorial Day weekend, 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: we will begin closing arguments. You know, I'm being asked, 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: do I think that Donald Trump is going to go 20 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: to jail? No, folks, I don't I don't ever think 21 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is going to go to jail. I 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump could commit murder in front of 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, eleven thousand cameras, and I don't think that 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump would go to jail. When Donald Trump said 25 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: so many moons ago that he could kill somebody in 26 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the middle of Fifth Avenue and watch his poll numbers rise, yeah, 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: we all laughed at it. It was fucking true. So 28 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: what do I think the outcome of this case is 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: going to be. I have no idea. I have faith 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: in New Yorkers above all other people in the country 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: because I am one, but you know, I have no idea. 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: I hope that the prosecution can lay out a very 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: clear closing argument, kind of set it up in the 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: way of a series finale of a show and connecting 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: all of the dots and dotting all of their eyes 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and crossing all of their te's to make the jury 37 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: aware of what this case has always been about, which 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: is the fact not that Donald Trump fucked a porn star. 39 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: I could care less right whether he did or did not, 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: not whether he had an affair or not, whether he 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: lied to his wife. But the fact is is that 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump lied, used campaign finance money in order to 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: cover up said lie. And he wasn't lying to protect 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: his wife because who gives a fuck about her. He 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: was lying so that the American public would not see 46 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: a pattern of behavior following the Access Hollywood tape. That's 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: what the fuck he was doing. And So if we 48 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: bring ourselves back to twenty sixteen and how close that 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: election was, do we think that learning more about who 50 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is what he had done in order to 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: get into the position that he then would later arrive 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: in as president of the United States? Would he have 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: had that ability if we had all known the truth. Now, 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: while I believe that the Access Hollywood tape should have 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: been a fuck enough to debt his entire campaign and 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: his presidential prospects, America thought otherwise. So, you know, I 57 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: think that what is important for the prosecution to do 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: when they come back for oral arguments is to wrap 59 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: this up the way that fucking Shonda Rhimes did Scandal, 60 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: so that it's clear, you know what happened, you know 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: why it happens, and you have no other choice but 62 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: to convict, right, because anything less than a guilty verdict 63 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: in this case, which we know Donald Trump will appeal 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: at nauseum, but anything less than a guilty verdict is 65 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: going to be spun into a win for Donald Trump. 66 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: So that's what folks need to be taking into consideration. 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't know where the fuck this goes, because I'm 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: not a fortune teller and I can't read the tea leaves, 69 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: and every time I try, you know what, fate would 70 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: have it, things go in another direction. Speaking of Donald 71 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: Trump and his campaign. So there's a story right now 72 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: that is going around that both the Biden campaign is 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of as well as mainstream media 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: is finally paying attention to it, which is the fact 75 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: that on his broke down social media platform that Donald 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Trump retweeted a video that was done about how Maga 77 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: is gonna make the world better again. There'll be no war, 78 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: They'll be you know, economic relief, there'll be a deportation 79 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: of fifteen million undocumented people, so on and so forth. 80 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: It'll just be you know, amazing in America again. Yeah, 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: read the fine print. If you're white, if you're straight, 82 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: if you're sis, if you're a man, you know all 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: of those things. And if you're wealthy, right, everyone else 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: dot dot dot nonetheless, in this fucking video that Donald 85 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Trump would find himself fucking resharing. It talks about America 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: not just being great again, but being under a united Reich. 87 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: And when you think of Reich ore Ei c h. 88 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: What does that conjure memories of Oh, I will tell 89 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: you at Conjure's memories Hitler and the Third Reich, you know, 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 1: their final order of business, where the Germans were going 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: to hold power for thousands and thousands of years. This 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: is what Donald Trump has re shared. And when his 93 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: campaign was met with some questions about, you know, his 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: allegiance to Nazism and white supremacy, they say, oh, Donald 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: Trump didn't post this, It was posted by his staffer. 96 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: And even though again it was brought to their attention 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: how this was very reminiscent of Hitler, they kept up 98 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: the post until just recently on his social media page. 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: Here's what I want to alert people to. Donald Trump 100 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: is not hinting at being like Hitler. Donald Trump is 101 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: like Hitler. Right, Donald Trump is not pretending to tell 102 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: his white supremacist people to stand back and stand by. 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: He is directing them to do so. Right. When Donald 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Trump says that he wants to be a dictator on 105 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: day one. It's not a joke. He actually will be 106 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 1: a dictator on day It will be the last election 107 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: that we have when his former you know, greasy fucking 108 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: attorney's attorneys tell the truth and say, yeah, Donald Trump 109 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: talks about, you know, brags about you being able to 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: use the FBI as his own gestapo, right to investigate 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: his political opponents, throw people that he doesn't like in jail. Right, Again, 112 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: these are not jokes. It is laid out by Project 113 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five how they will gut these government agencies 114 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: of career policy folks, right of career public servants in 115 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: order to put in their groups of sycophants twenty thousand. 116 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: I've so far signed up for this task. And so 117 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: when he says that he's going to use right the 118 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: FBI as his gestapo or the Department of Justice as 119 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: his own political weapon, and you think, oh, well, that 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: could never happen. The only reason why Donald Trump was 121 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: enabled to shoot protests in Lafayette Square during the uprisings 122 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: that followed the killing of George Floyd was because there 123 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: were people there that stopped him. Those people will be 124 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: long gone and are not coming back to Trump's fear 125 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: at this moment in time. So the only people that 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: are going to be around Donald Trump are those people 127 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: that will just say, yes, right, it doesn't matter if 128 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: it breaks the law, because if your president, according to 129 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Richard Nixon, nothing that you do right 130 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: could possibly be breaking the law. And if the Supreme 131 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,559 Speaker 1: Court hands him, you know, a win in the immunity case, 132 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: which the forty four presidents that came before him didn't 133 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: have and managed to do their jobs without it, then 134 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: we're just spopped. Because Donald Trump can decide that he's 135 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: going to kill Joe Biden, he can decide to assassinate 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: Barack Obama, he can decide to jail any journalists that 137 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: he wants and guess what, it will be legal, much 138 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: in the same way that the Holocaust was legal, much 139 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: in the same way that Jim Crow was legal, much 140 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: in the same way that the genocide that is taking 141 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: place in Israel is legal. Right. So the fact is, 142 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: folks like take Donald Trump at his actual word, he 143 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: lies a lot, but he also has doubled down and 144 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: tripled down when he was president of the United States 145 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: on the things that he said that he would do. 146 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: He would appoint justices that would overturn roeby Wade, they did, 147 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: as well as affirmative action, as well as gun control 148 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: in the States, as well as, you know, any other 149 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: thing that we think can't possibly be overturned, like Brown 150 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: versus the Board of Education, same sex marriage, you know, 151 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: just name it. Because what I want folks to understand 152 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: is that the rights that we enjoy, or some of 153 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: the ones that are still left that we enjoy in 154 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: this country came through the courts. They did not come 155 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: through policy. And guess what Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell 156 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: made sure that they owned during the during his four 157 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: years in the presidency, all of those vacancies that were 158 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: on the courts are filled by right wing radicals as 159 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: well as as sixty three Supreme Court right now, that's 160 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: filled with fucking rifters and liars. So when I continue 161 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: to say the folks that the last defense that we 162 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: have as a country against Donald Trump and trump Ism 163 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: is our vote, like this is what the fuck that 164 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: I am saying? But Donald Trump is being very clear 165 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: about what he plans to do, right, Like, he's not 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: mincing words, So folks can't turn around and be like, 167 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm shocked, right when all of a sudden, your neighbors 168 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: start disappearing, and all of a sudden, your friends start disappearing, 169 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, public schools start being shut 170 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: down and gutted, and religious charter schools are popping up 171 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: in their place, and that there's no social safety nets 172 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: and your aged parents or your poor family member have 173 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: no recourse when you start to see an overflux of homelessness. 174 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: But then they just throw those people in jail right 175 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: to get them out of your vision. Like, folks, I 176 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: want to understand that as bad as things are, and 177 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: I don't argue that they are not bad, right, everything 178 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: can always get worse. Let me do an honorable mention 179 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: for this fucking idiot that some of you may know 180 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: but other people may not, which is amber Rose. For 181 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: those that are not invested in hip hop culture, let 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: me just give you a little primer into who amber 183 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: Rose is. Amber Rose at one time was dating Kanye West, 184 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: was dogged out by Kanye West when he decided to 185 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: leave her and then get into a relationship with Kim Kardashian. 186 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: Gamber Rose also has a child by rapper Tiger. Tiger 187 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: was dating Kim Kardashian's sister Kylie Jenner when he was 188 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: twenty something years old and she was sixteen. But that's 189 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: besides the point. Here's the thing. Amber Rose, who has famously, 190 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, talked about women's rights, has done a quote 191 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: unquote slut walk right to try and lift the stereotypes 192 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: of you know, sexually active women, women who choose to 193 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: own their bodies and enjoy sex and pleasure and talk 194 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: about these things. And so for quite some time, you know, 195 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: she has tried to do a rebrand of sorts, and 196 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: most recently, you know, her next level of rebrand has 197 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: been to say that she is now supporting Donald Trump. Right. Mind, 198 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: you the woman has a black son. She's biracial, and 199 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: she has a son with a black man. So she 200 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: has a black son, and she has decided to come 201 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: out and say that she is going to support Donald Trump, 202 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: that you know, Donald Trump is about freedom and this, 203 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: that and the other thing. Well, let me just say this, 204 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: if you're taking political advice from Amber Rose, you have 205 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: bigger problems. But what I want to lift up here 206 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: is the trend that is happening inside of hip hop 207 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: where you have Ice Cube and Amber Rose and others 208 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: that are you know, not above the grift, I guess, right, 209 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: And you know this is a way. Let me tell 210 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: you something, what is lucrative if you ever listen to 211 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: democracy Ishahod and I talk about this all the time, 212 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: which is that to be a right wing puppet pundit 213 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: or what have you is to make a lot of 214 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: money in being wrong and on the wrong side of 215 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: history and on the wrong side of like facts. But regardless, 216 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: if you have no morals right and no values, then 217 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good grift, right, you can make millions 218 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: of dollars. And so I look at the move that 219 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Amber Rose is making and I was just like, you know, 220 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: there were lots of people that called this woman out 221 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: years ago talking about the way that she's only black 222 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: when it suits her, but otherwise she leans on her 223 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: white presenting self as as a mode of privilege. And 224 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: this is just to me another case of her doing 225 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: the most with knowing the least. But I think that 226 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: the trend in and of itself, to me inside of 227 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: hip hop culture is really problematic right now because it 228 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: goes along this idea that Donald Trump is going to 229 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: be able to peel off enough black votes, enough Latin 230 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: X votes for it to hurt Joe Biden and for 231 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: him to be able to win. All I want to say, 232 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: you know and provide for you, because I know none 233 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: of those motherfuckers listening to my show. But what I 234 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: will say to folks who do have these types of 235 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: people in your life is you know, all you can 236 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: do is try and remind them that like Donald Trump 237 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: hates women overturned Roe V. Wade, Donald Trump hates people 238 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: of color, and his justices overturned affirmative action. Donald Trump 239 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: told police officers to you know, rough people up when 240 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: he was arresting them. He wanted to shoot protesters in 241 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: the legs. So he doesn't believe in the freedom of speech. 242 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: And he has called those that come from African nations 243 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: shithole countries. He has said that the only good people 244 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: are those that come from places like Norway and Finland 245 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: aka white. Donald Trump has done everything to insult the 246 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: disabled community, to harm women, to harm black people, to 247 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: say that he's too smart to pay taxes, which makes 248 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: the rest of us just a bunch of idiots. Donald 249 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: Trump is a terrible fucking person right on top of 250 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: being a criminal. And so for anyone to say that 251 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: he is going to be better for the black community, 252 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: or better for any community other than white supremacs is 253 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: wild to me. It just means that you're not paying attention, 254 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: or you're so deep in your delusion right that you 255 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: can't find your way out. So, you know, my whole 256 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: thing with Amber Rose ice Cube and other people like them, 257 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: Charlemagne the god who wants to, for whatever reason, bring 258 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: on Republican apologists to his show and then offer them 259 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: softball questions, knowing that these very people and their rhetoric 260 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: has harmed the Black community, the community that he relies 261 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: on for his paycheck and his fame, is wild to me. 262 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: It's wild to me. But then again, I'm a person 263 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: with integrity, right, and so it is wild to me 264 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: the way in which people will abandon any sense of 265 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: morality and values in order to make a buck. You know, 266 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: But what do I know. I'm not rich, nor do 267 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: I aspire to wealth. That has me let go of 268 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: my scrupuls. So let me put that out there. I 269 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: think that as the months go on, what I want 270 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: for Democrats to do is to not go to war 271 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump and not make this election a binary 272 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I want this 273 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: to be an election and a referendum against the entire 274 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: Republican Party. Right now, you have the Senate right in 275 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: the state of North Carolina that is voted to make 276 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: it illegal for people to wear masks in public for protection. Right, 277 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: What about though, I don't even have to go down 278 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: the list if I want to put a mask on 279 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: my own fucking face. What the fuck does that have 280 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: to do with you? It doesn't, right. And if you're 281 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: saying like, oh, it's about safety, it's about this then 282 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: and the other thing, then do what TSA does when 283 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: people roll up to the airport with a mask on. 284 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: Take it down very briefly. Okay, great, see your face, 285 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: got it, keep it moving. What does this have to 286 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: do with you? This party that is about freedom, that 287 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: keeps wanting to restrict your freedom to care for yourself 288 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: in any which way that you deem necessary. So just 289 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: take a look at what they're doing in North Carolina. 290 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: Then go up to Virginia and see what Governor Ynkin 291 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: is doing there where he just vetoed. I mean a 292 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: massive amount of legislation, but one in particular that stands 293 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: out is the right for people to have contraception because 294 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: he doesn't want it to get in the way of 295 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: other people's religious freedom. What does me putting a pill 296 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: in my mouth have anything to do with you? It doesn't, right, 297 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: and so your religion may restrict you, but your religion 298 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: should not have the ability to restrict me. That's what 299 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: it means to live in a country that doesn't abide 300 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: by the Bible, but abides by the Constitution. And what 301 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: the Republicans want to do is to throw out the 302 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: Constitution in lieu of their interpretation, their warped interpretation of 303 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: the Bible. So I need folks to see very clearly 304 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: what is happening when you have the ability to criminally 305 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: charge doctors for wanting to provide healthcare in the form 306 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: of an abortion to people with uteruses and pregnant women 307 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: in emergency situations that are willing to do what the 308 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: Supreme Court did a couple of weeks ago, which is 309 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: to debate how much blood a woman can lose right 310 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: how close to death, how many organs need to be 311 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: failing before a doctor does something to help save them 312 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: all because of somebody else's religious values and morals, Like 313 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: my life has to be put on the line. I 314 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: was talking to a woman the other day that was 315 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: telling me about a friend of hers that is getting, 316 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get pregnant through ivf right, and 317 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: it's now terrified that when she becomes pregnant, because she 318 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: has to travel for work a lot, what if something 319 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: happens if she lands or is having a layover in 320 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: a state that criminalizes women in their uteruses and she's 321 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: in the midst of a medical emergency. She doesn't live 322 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: in that state, but she will need to get care. 323 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: These are the types of thinking, the types of ways 324 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: that women are having to think about their safety in 325 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: this country. She's not talking about what happens if I 326 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: fly abroad. She's talking about what happens if I fly 327 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: from New York and have to connect through fucking Georgia. So, folks, 328 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: this election is not just between two people that you 329 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: may like or not like. It is about what kind 330 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: of life do you want? Because trust and believe that 331 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: people who believe that politics have no effect on their 332 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: lives need to look around and ask themselves how they've 333 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: been the last nine years. Talk to people that are 334 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: in states like Louisiana and Tennessee and Alabama and Florida 335 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: and Texas, you want that shit nationalized. So whether or 336 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: not you think that Joe Biden needs to be the 337 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: fucking savior and write on all things, he absolutely is 338 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: not right on all things, but you know what, he 339 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: is right on the Constitution. And so I'd rather have 340 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: a president that I can fight with without penalty and 341 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: fight for a better country without fear of jail, deportation 342 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: or worse than whatever the fuck Donald Trump has in store. 343 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, we know what he has in 344 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: store because he's said it in explicit terms. So you know, 345 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: I urge people, as we continue to make this march 346 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: towards you know, the fucking election, right that this is 347 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: so much bigger, right than these two fucking people who, 348 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: by the way, right like their lives won't change much 349 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: because they're both white, and they're both wealthy, and they're 350 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: both men. It is about who has the best policies 351 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: for your life, the life of your family moving forward. 352 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna take a guess that the one that 353 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: has mind com you know as bedtime reading, ain't it. 354 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: But that's just me.
