You know, one of the things that I 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: have been noticing over the last couple of weeks, you know, 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: being on social media, being on Twitter, is how everyone 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: is freely sharing just how emotionally spent exhausted they are. 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: And I say that that is a good thing because 9 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: I think that too often we're sitting alone in our 10 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: feelings trying to work them through and trying to process, 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: like and describe what is this feeling of dread? Like? What? What? 12 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: What is this feeling of unease that I have that 13 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: I can't shake? And I expressed to you all yesterday, 14 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: you know that following the news of the shooting in 15 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: um in the subway in New York, that I was 16 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: really shaken up, and you know, and then I started 17 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: to like beat myself up for the fact that I 18 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: was shaken up, that somehow I felt that I should 19 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: just be able to kind of power through. I mean, 20 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: how many mass shootings have we been through? How many 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: mass shootings, you know, make the headlines and how many 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: of them don't, and that it has become such a 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: normalized part of everyday existence in America that I found 24 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: myself even though I found myself saying to a friend, 25 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm too busy to cry. I don't really have the 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: time I got, you know, this to write and these 27 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: shows to do, and and and emails to answer. And 28 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: so it's this continued grind that we're in where we're 29 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: still in a pandemic, right, We're still in a pandemic 30 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: where we have to be a point to variant that 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: has overtaken the omicron variant. You have the CDC that announces, oh, well, 32 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: we're going to kick the can down the road and 33 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: we're going to have mass on you know, transportation for 34 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: another two weeks. And I tweeted, and I said, because 35 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: what do we think that they're going to discover in 36 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: two weeks that they don't fucking know now mass work 37 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: and no one has stopped travel. You have airlines and 38 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: the train operator not the train operators, but these CEOs 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: that are trying to put pressure on Congress and Republicans 40 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: suing rights, multiple states suing the CDC to release these 41 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: mass mandates and I'm like, I'm sorry, Am I missing something? 42 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: Are these airlines not fucking making money making billions of 43 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: dollars for price gouging people? Right like they're trying to 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: make up for what the sick months that they didn't 45 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: make any money. I've been to the airport I have flown. 46 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: They're not you know, they're not working at the understaffed 47 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: and low population level. No things are actually back. So 48 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: if the decision is being made around you know, purely 49 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: capitalistic reasons, then show me where you're losing money, Show 50 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: me where things are down. Because people need to put 51 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: a fucking cloth mask over their face so that we 52 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: all don't breathe in COVID, right Like, I'm just I 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: get to the point of just breaking, which kind of 54 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: happened yesterday. I'm going to be honest that by the 55 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: time that the day was finished and I had not 56 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: one but two martinis that I made for myself at home, 57 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: I was just like sitting on my couch and I 58 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: just got overwhelmed and I started tearing up. I started crying. 59 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: And it wasn't through pain, it was just through sheer 60 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: frustration and overwhelmed. I am just tired of all of 61 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: this shit. I'm tired of Democrats not battling against people 62 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: that are literally putting this country in our democracy through 63 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: the ringer. I'm tired of the lies being told as 64 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: if COVID does not exist and hasn't killed millions of 65 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: people around the world. There's a piece right now. I 66 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: didn't read it yet. There's a piece right now in 67 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: the New York Times, and the headline was something like 68 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: grandparents taking over because two hundred thousand children in the 69 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: United States, almost a quarter of a million. Two hundred 70 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: thousand children in the United States lost at least one 71 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: parent to COVID and now or both, and now their 72 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: grandparents are stepping in to take care of them. That's 73 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: an actual news story right now. But we're having a 74 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: debate about whether or not we should remove mass from 75 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: public transportation. I mean, mass mandates have all but gone 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: away in a majority of cities and places. But I 77 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: will tell you, as somebody that was tally just on 78 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the Amtrak to and from Washington, DC last week, I 79 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: feel comfortable being locked inside of this moving tube because 80 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: everybody has to wear a fucking mask. And yes, people 81 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: are still eating and drinking, but for the most part, 82 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: right the mask is on and the ventilation and the 83 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: air is pumping, and it's a way for you to 84 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: be able to try, Like, why is it that it 85 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: is the least among us, right that have the loudest 86 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: fucking voices. So, whether it is and I'm going to 87 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: get into this, whether it is about being pro gun 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: and having no restrictions on guns whatsoever, so that has 89 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: to infringe upon my fucking safety and my ability to 90 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: feel like I can leave my home in my neighborhood 91 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: and feel fucking safe because I got gun tote. Motherfucker's 92 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: all over the place. Right. And then these people with 93 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: the mask, if you were to do a then diagram, 94 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: it's the same fucking people, right, The people who didn't 95 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: want to wear a mask, right, are the same fucking 96 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: pro gun people, are the same fucking anti portion people. 97 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 1: They're the same demographic. And the fact that I'm saying 98 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: this because the numbers, the numbers that they actually have 99 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: are small in comparison to the majority of us. But 100 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: they literally have figured out how to become the squeaky 101 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: wheel that is consistently consistently pampered too, Right, And I'm 102 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: just I'm over it. I am over it. You know, 103 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: I said yesterday on my woke Wednesday, I said, you know, 104 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: following this shooting, you all listen to the conversation with 105 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: Jonathan Metzal that I had, And the reality is that 106 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Republicans want to turn this country into the wild wild West. 107 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: They want to have people you know, in the streets, 108 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: no social safety nets. Only the rich are able to 109 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: continue to navigate. This just desert of despair that they're creating. 110 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: Like that, That's literally what it is. Right, So people, 111 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: pregnant people can't get abortions, gay people and trans people 112 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: are forced back into the closets. You have climate change rearing, 113 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: you have a global health pandemic that we're never going 114 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: to get a hold of, and just continues to mutate 115 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: with multiple variants over and over again. And just wait, folks, 116 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: just wait, because the next variant that is going to 117 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: come is not going to be of the shrug off variety, 118 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: right like those This is the truth. But you see, 119 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: the thing is is that if we are all spinning 120 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: out of control, we're spinning out in overwhelm, We're spinning 121 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: out in fucking misery and feeling like there is just 122 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: no path through this darkness. This is how fascism and 123 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: authoritarianism rises like they are literally playing through the same 124 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: playbook that got Hitler into power. But you have Joe 125 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: Biden doing these tough talk, fucking press conferences and the 126 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: only motherfucker he's calling out is Putin And I'm saying, bitch, 127 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: make the bridge, make the connection. Right. So you have 128 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: Putin deciding that he's going to sanction I think he's 129 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: sanctioned over like three hundred and ninety eight members or 130 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: something crazy right of the House of Representatives. And I'm 131 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: saying to myself, do you know what I would do? 132 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: If I were Merritt Garland and wasn't a sloth and 133 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: actually believed in upholding American institutions and values and justice 134 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: and not just in name only. I would start an 135 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: investigation into the motherfucker's who didn't receive putent sanction and 136 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: wonder why why aren't you being sanctioned? Right? I would 137 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: go into an investigation, open up an investigation into Tucker Carlson. No, 138 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: but nobody wants to play politics. But it's totally okay 139 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: for Republicans to consistently make up lies, lies that turned 140 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: into you know, millions of dollars spent during the Benghazi 141 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: hearings right to haul Hillary Clinton and to do nothing 142 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: other than to smear her name. But then at the 143 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: end of the day, when we have all of the 144 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: evidence on our side, to justify the fact that we're 145 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: not playing politics. This isn't politics, It's about fucking democracy. 146 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: And if motherfuckers are going to call you outside your 147 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: name regardless, then why wouldn't you do the work. This 148 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: is where I am with Democrats right now, is that 149 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: they are so fucking tepid, and tepid is a nice 150 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: euphemism because it's not even tepidness. They're lackluster. They're jellyfish, 151 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: They're spineless, right, they have absolutely no fight in them whatsoever. 152 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: And they're so they move in such a way that 153 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: they are so afraid of how Republicans are going to react. 154 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: And I continue to say, you cannot lead like that. 155 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: My cross country coach us to tell us in high school, 156 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: you can't lead from the back. So if I'm saying 157 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: that you're one of the leaders of the team, right, 158 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: you need to be out front. How you leading from 159 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: the back. But that's what democrats logic is. So you 160 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: have right now, one of the most violent tax that 161 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: is coming that it's been coming, it's been brewing, and 162 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: it came once again, as most things in the Republican 163 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: Party these days, are coming from QAnon. QAnon fucking batshit 164 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: crazy theory has found its way into mainstream Republicanism, and 165 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: one of QAnon's biggest and most disgusting theories. Democrats are 166 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: running some type of pedophilia ring right now. A couple 167 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: of years ago, we all wanted to like that wasn't 168 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: even making anybody's news, right, We're just like, oh, those 169 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: are the crazies over there, because that's clearly not the case. Right. No, No, 170 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: you heard it come up in the hearings for Judge 171 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Katangi Brown Jackson. Right, Oh, you're soft on pedophilia, you're 172 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: soft on sex crimes. You hear it now through that 173 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: the siren of batshit Crazy, which is Marshary Taylor Green 174 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: saying that the Democratic Party is just filled with pedophiles. 175 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: And then I heard recently that Hakim Jeffries has said, oh, well, 176 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: that's just nonsense, and we don't respond to nonsense. Let 177 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: me tell you what happens when you don't respond to 178 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: what you perceive to be nonsense. You have what happened 179 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: in Virginia, Right, Virginia was in the blue column for 180 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: the last twelve years up until Junkin comes in. And 181 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: what does Trump and a Vest do. Trump and a 182 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: Vest decides to turn his entire campaign into being about 183 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: parental control. And what is at the core of this 184 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: quote unquote parental control? It is critical race theory, which 185 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: I've told you time and time again, is not taught 186 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: in K through twelve schools. It's not even taught in 187 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,239 Speaker 1: undergrad It's taught in select as an elective in selective 188 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: law schools. Right, but it doesn't don't allow the truth 189 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: to get in the way of a good story and 190 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: a good campaign. Glenn Uncan didn't. And what ended up 191 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: happening is that Democrats didn't actually formulate any type of 192 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: messaging or plan to come back to the nonsense about 193 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: critical race theory. Instead, they decided to ignore it. And 194 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: now we have Governor Junkin and Virginia has gone back 195 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: into the red column. And what Republicans are doing, it's 196 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: basically using there when in Virginia to create the framework 197 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: and the and the strategic planning that they are doing 198 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: now all across the country, right, making criminalizing education, because 199 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: if you are a teacher right now in any of 200 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: these red states, I would be fucking scared to even 201 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: talk about Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, you know, 202 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: the people that they love to bring out during Black 203 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: History Month to use their quotes as if they're not racist, 204 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: just so that they can put on some political black face. Right, 205 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: you wouldn't even want to talk about that, because God forbid, 206 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: little Josie and Jamal go home and say, look what 207 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: I learned today, Mom, dad, grandma, and then the parents 208 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: come marching up to the school slap a lawsuit on you. 209 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: This is the kind of vigilanteism that Republicans have set 210 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: out and Democrats haven't pushed back on. So now they 211 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: started with critical race theory, they've moved into don't say gay, 212 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: what the fuck you think is coming next? So my 213 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: thing is that you don't at some point in time, 214 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: you don't just ignore the bully that is in the schoolyard. 215 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: You actually walk up to them and you punch them 216 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: directly in the fucking face, right because you let them 217 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 1: know that you're not to be played with. But Democrats 218 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: don't play like that. They're like hiding in the corner. 219 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Please don't look at me and don't see me. And 220 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: maybe if I bring you a dollar every day then 221 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: you won't be beating my ass. And I'm just like, 222 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: I need people to start to recognize that this kind 223 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: of operation from weakness is not a winning strategy, and 224 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: it's having people who are Democrats right, voters who are well, 225 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: what are my two options here? Either I'm a part 226 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: of a white supremist cult, right, or I'm with the jellyfish, 227 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: Like these are my two options. So what will people 228 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: start deciding to do. They'll just opt out altogether and rightfully. So, 229 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm a person that believes in voting. I believe in democracy. 230 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: I believe in government form by the people. But when 231 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: you are putting in and voting for representatives that are 232 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: too chicken shit to actually take it to our political foes, 233 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what options we have left, but I 234 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: know that right now, Joe Biden once again held a 235 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: very tough talking press conference, colin putting everything but a 236 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: child of God, saying that he is committing genocide, which is, 237 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, the big buzzword in you know, war crimes 238 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: is genocide. Of course, the Kremlin has come out and said, no, 239 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: we're not committing war crimes. Of course, we're not raping 240 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: and murder ring and you know, executing civilians right and 241 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: blowing up hospitals and train stations like that's not happening. 242 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: It's all made up. Sure, Okay, I'm not saying that 243 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have tough talk on Putin, but I'm saying, 244 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: connect the fucking dots to the Republicans in the United 245 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: States that are supporting Russia in their war of aggression, 246 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: whether they're supporting them with their actual pocketbook or wallets, like, 247 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: let's figure that out. That's what you think you would 248 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: do inside of an investigation, but you sure as fuck 249 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: should be like, so, America on my watch is not 250 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: going to turn into anybody's hungry Turkey or fucking Russia. 251 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: And here are the people that I need to ask, 252 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: where is your patriotism at? Instead of referring to you know, 253 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell as a man of like good morals and character, 254 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, we're talking about this same motherfucker that stole 255 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: a seat from your president when you were vice president. 256 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: We're talking about that guy. We're talking about the one 257 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: that rushed through the confirmation of Amy Covid Barrett in 258 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: thirty days right before, right after the election, and before 259 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: you were able to be sworn in. We're talking about 260 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: that guy, that's the one that you say has good 261 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: moral character. Do I need to look up a new 262 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: definition of what morality is because that ain't it. And 263 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: so the fact is is that if the people that 264 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: are in democratic leadership and are in the establishment can't 265 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: clearly identify our villains right the villains of democracy, then 266 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm confused about how you think that you're going to 267 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: get the people's votes. Like this is the thing that 268 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: I continue to worry about, frankly on a regular basis. 269 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: We got seven months, folks, that's not a lot of time. 270 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: And I know that people like to think that a 271 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: majority of voters don't actually pay attention until around September 272 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: or October, but I'm telling you it is April and 273 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm seeing no change in messaging coming out of the 274 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: Democratic camp. Let's look at abortion right now and what 275 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: is going on with the anti abortion movement. Once again, 276 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: just to remind everyone, Democrats run all of the quote 277 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: unquote points of power outside of the Supreme Court, the Senate, 278 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: the House, and the White House, and I'm saying to myself, 279 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: as you are watching Republicans make decisions state by state 280 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: to not only ban abortion, but to go so far 281 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: as to do what Oklahoma did earlier this week, which 282 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: is to criminalize it, criminalizing pregnant people with up to 283 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: ten years in jail for a felony for terminating their 284 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: own goddamn pregnancy. This is where we're going. So I'm 285 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: saying to myself, where the fuck is the fed the 286 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: outrage at the federal level. Now you can tell me, oh, 287 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing that we can do but executive orders, and 288 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you got two years for those executive orders 289 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: to stick, So what are you doing. The federal government 290 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: during COVID right decided when the Biden administration came in 291 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: that they were going to allow medical abortions to happen. 292 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: These are the two pill situations that allow pregnant people 293 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: to be able to have a safe abortion at home. 294 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: They did that during COVID and why because you couldn't 295 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: leave your home. And here's something that has a kind 296 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: of you know, deadline. So they allow this to stay, right, 297 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking to myself, this is great, So what 298 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: else are you going to do. You're able to use 299 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: these medications for up to ten weeks. But there are 300 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: nineteen states in this country that still require you to 301 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: have a physician a physician sign off for you to 302 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,239 Speaker 1: be able to access that medication. So, now, if you 303 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: are a physician that is in one of those states 304 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: that are now criminalizing abortion, you think that you're writing scripts. No, 305 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: So we actually need the Department of Justice to penalize 306 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: these states for not following the FDA's guidelines. But we're 307 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: seeing no action in that way. I'm not hearing Merritt 308 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: Garland saying We're going after Oklahoma, We're going after Texas, 309 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: We're going after Florida. No, there's no murmurings. And I'm like, 310 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 1: am I missing something? Like if this is what winning 311 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: looks like? That I am terrified to know what it's 312 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: going to look like post November, because if the Pauls 313 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: hold right, we're fucked. And you know, it was funny 314 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: because when I was in DC last week and I'm 315 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: talking to folks there and everyone right who is working 316 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: at national organizations and in the grass roots are just like, 317 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: what do you think is happening with the Biden administration? 318 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: Like is it that they feel like they're gonna get 319 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: a second bide at the Apple. Because the thing that 320 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: I keep trying to convey on this show and on 321 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: others is this, when midterms are lost, that is it period. 322 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: Republicans will take control of the Senate, they will take 323 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: control of the House, and guess what is They're going 324 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: to be their first mode of operation to start the 325 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: impeachment process for Joe Biden. And they're going to use 326 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: his son Hunter as the way to get to Joe Biden. 327 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: Now we know damn youson Hunter Biden's laptop for I 328 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: don't even know how long now right to try and 329 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: smear Biden. But here's the thing. Republicans have already showed 330 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: you that they don't operate inside of the rule of 331 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: law or the constitution. Right, that's a mere suggestion to them. 332 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: So we can say, oh, well, they're not going to 333 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: be able to impeach him. They have no grounds, they 334 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: don't need any All they need is control of the 335 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: House and the Senate. So then after they're able to 336 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: impeach Joe Biden for no fucking reason whatsoever, what else 337 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: do you think that they're going to do? Probably open 338 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: up a commission and investigation so that they can get Hillary, 339 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: get Barack Obama, and go down their list right and 340 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: start to create a situation where we have political prisoners 341 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: in this country. You think that I'm being crazy, right, 342 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Danielle, that could never happen. Well, I 343 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: never thought that I would see an insurrection, and that happened. 344 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: And right now you have the one six Commission weighing 345 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: and quote unquote split on whether or not they're going 346 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: to actually refer Donald Trump and company to the Department 347 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: of Justice for criminal charges. Now you have some that 348 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: are speculating in the news that say, well, it's nothing 349 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: more than, you know, symbolism. It's not as if the 350 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: one six Commission has any teeth. Well, guess what America 351 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: is starving for right now? Some sign that justice is 352 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: actually going to prevail, some sign that when we say 353 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: that no one is above the law, that that isn't 354 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: just some bullshit bumper sticker, that there is actual action 355 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: behind that. So America is starving for a symbol, a 356 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: sign that those that were so brazen in their attempt 357 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: to overthrow our government, so brazen in fact, that they 358 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: advertised and celebrated it on social media that not just 359 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: the foot soldiers, but the architects of said insurrection, like 360 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: the Ginny Thomases of the world, are going to be 361 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: hauled the fuck in. But if you decide that, oh, 362 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: you know what, we're running this marathon and I get 363 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: to the twenty sixth mile and even though a full 364 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: marathon is point two, I'm going to give up the fuck? 365 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: How do it work? How does that work? And here's 366 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: the thing that I've been thinking about too. I honestly 367 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: believe sometimes that Democrats want to lose because you see, 368 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: if you wanted to win, you wouldn't act like this, right. 369 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: I think that they like being in the minority so 370 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: that they can wag their fingers and they can stomp 371 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: their feet, and they can give the appearance and the 372 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: performance of action. But then no one is going to 373 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: hold them to account for what it is that they 374 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: can and can't do, because they say, oh, my hands 375 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: are tied behind my back. But when we get the 376 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: majority back, then things will be different. Well, we gave 377 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: you the majority back. We didn't give you a supermajority, 378 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: but we gave you the majority back, and you're still 379 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: operating as if you are in the political minority, and 380 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: you're not. You will be soon, and at that point 381 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: we might as well just all, I don't know, look 382 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: at the Constitution as some type of relic, because it's 383 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: not going to be, you know, a living, breathing document. 384 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: I find this all just so easy to put together. 385 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 1: You know. Somebody said to me, you know, Danielle, I 386 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: don't just need rants, I need solutions. And I said, well, 387 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: here's a solution. Here's a couple of things that I 388 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: believe can actually happen and should happen. Right one, I 389 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: believe that the ones Excommission should refer right Donald Trump 390 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: and company to the Department of Justice. I believe that 391 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: then Merritt Garland should openly begin to indict all of 392 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: those that are responsible, from Eastman to Bannon to fucking 393 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: Meadows to Trump. Right open up an investigation into Jinny 394 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: Thomas to see whether or not we have a compromised 395 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice. Reminder, the lone dissenter on whether or 396 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: not Trump should be forced to release his records because 397 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: guess whose number was going to show up his wives. 398 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: We need to act as if we are at war. 399 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: So that's number one. Number two is a full blown 400 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: messaging campaign, right, and I mean taking on the lies 401 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: about critical race theory, taking on the lies about pedophilia. Right. 402 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If you're talking about critical race 403 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: theory and I my response wouldn't be critical race theories 404 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: and isn't taught in the schools and blah blah blah. 405 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: It would be why are you so afraid of history 406 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: outside of the lens of six white men? What is 407 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: it that terrifies you about people of color and queer 408 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: people in this country? What is it that terrifies you 409 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: about talking about gender equity? Right? Force Republicans on the defensive. Right, 410 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Force them to explain to the American people why they 411 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: don't want your kids learning anything other than Columbus discovered America, 412 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: which we all know is a fucking lie. Make them 413 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: tell you that no one else's story outside of six 414 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: white men matter. Make them explain it, right. Don't just 415 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: think that you're going to ignore this and that somehow 416 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: it's going to go away, or oh as Democrats left 417 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: to say, we don't want to provide oxygen to this bitch. 418 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: They got oxygen tanks on, right. They are funneling this 419 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: shit in the way they do in fucking Vegas right now. 420 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: So deciding that you're just going to ignore reality from 421 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: happening doesn't mean that reality ceased to exist. That's on 422 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: critical race theory as it goes with these don't say 423 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: gay bills, Oh, I don't know, once again putting them 424 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: on the defensive. So if you're so right, you so 425 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: activated against pedophilia, why are you harboring so many sexual 426 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: predators within the Republican Party? And I would start with, 427 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: you know Matt Gates, who is under in investigation for 428 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: sex trafficking and sex with a fucking minor. I said 429 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: this on woke Wednesday. Daily Coast has a thirty part 430 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: investigative series. They are running a list and it has 431 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: thirty parts naming republic Republican sexual predators and enablers and traffickers, 432 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: thirty parts. That's not just one bad apple, right, that 433 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: is something that is has become endemic within the Republican Party. 434 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: So when you have this group deciding that they are 435 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: going to start referring to Democrats as groomers, right, saying 436 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: that their anti gay bills are these anti groomer bills. 437 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: Grooming language is what you use for pedophiles, right, because 438 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: they groom. They're victims. And this is what is being 439 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: said about Democrats right now. I would throw it back 440 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: in their fucking faces, have them defend all of the 441 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: Republican sexual predators that they have within their party. Oh, 442 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: but we don't want to. We don't want to what 443 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: we don't want to fight fire with fire again, believing 444 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: that somehow by ignoring these problems they are going to 445 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: go away. No, they don't go away. They actually become 446 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: members of Congress like Lauren Bobert, like Marjorie Taylor Green, 447 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: like fucking Madison Crawford, like Josh Holly. Right, that's what 448 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: they're doing. Ignoring them does not make the problem go away. 449 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: So number two is that messaging campaign Number three, fucking 450 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: erase student loan debt and stop kicking the can down 451 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: the road. People have had student loan debt deferment and 452 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: pause for the last two years, right, you know the 453 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: kind of economic catastrophe and burden this debt has on 454 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: forty five million plus Americans. Relieve it. Then you will 455 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: get young people, right as well as older Americans that 456 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: are in these debt end jobs solely why so that 457 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: they can pay back their student loans. What would happen 458 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: to our economy. Right, if people did not have this 459 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: burden of debt over them, it shouldn't be this hard. 460 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: It honestly should not be this difficult to get this 461 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: administration to do the right thing. This is what people 462 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: voted for. This is what the people wanted. They wanted change, 463 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: They wanted to feel like they had people that were 464 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: fighting for them, that we're on their side, and not 465 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: just in slogan only, but that we're going to back 466 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: it up with policy. And when you can't get policy 467 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: done because you have a juggernaut inside of Congress, then 468 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: you use the executive orders, but you turn it into 469 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: a messaging campaign. Look, Republicans don't want to help the 470 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: American people. They haven't wanted to do that. They are 471 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: the Party of No, and have been for the last 472 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: decade plus. So paint them that way. Don't refer to 473 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: them as your friend, don't refer to them as your colleague. 474 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: They are anti democracy, they are anti patriotism. Tell the 475 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: people who they are so that when they are making 476 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: their decisions in the voting booth come seven months from now, 477 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: it is clear that anybody within our next to their 478 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: name isn't for democracy. So that you don't fall for 479 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: the ropeadope, you don't fall for Trump light in a 480 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: vest because instead of saying that he is, you know, 481 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: an outright racist, right and I don't want to talk 482 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: about people from shiitthhole countries. Instead of recognizing that, right, 483 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: understand that they're going to use all of this smooth 484 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: language parental control. Parents should have control. Of course, parents 485 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: are going to agree call out their bullshit. It really 486 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: is not that hard to do, but we continue to 487 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: believe that it is impossible, and it's not. We have 488 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: so much work ahead, and I would say, like, folks, 489 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, roll up your sleeves, like we got to 490 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: do this. But I'm tired, and I know that if 491 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: I am tired, you all are tired too. And I'm like, 492 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: I want somebody who is supposed to be the leader 493 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: of the Freish world. Tell us what I'm rolling up 494 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: my sleeves to do. Tell me who I'm rolling up 495 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: my sleeves to fight for, you know. And again, this 496 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: desire for bipartisanship is going to be the death of us, 497 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: because you know, when Republicans are in power, they're not 498 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: looking for anybody's bipartisanship. They are fucking steamrolling this bitch. 499 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: So why can't we do the same and know that 500 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: we are actually on the side of right. Why do 501 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: we have to be compelled to bring these motherfuckers along 502 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: who are outwardly showing you that they don't believe in 503 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: collaboration or coordination. They believe in authoritarianism. They want only 504 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: their voters to be able to vote, and that is it. 505 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: They are telling you everything that you need to know, 506 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: but we keep wanting them to be better. They're not. 507 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: They are not. And I know one of the biggest 508 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: things you know of the last couple of weeks was 509 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: the fact that we could say, oh, Judge Katangi Brown 510 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: Jackson was confirmed through bipartisanship because three three Republicans voted 511 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: for her. That's not a win, folks. It should be 512 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the Republican Party. But instead of Democrats 513 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: using that as a point to say, this woman is impeccable. 514 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: If you look at her record against any Supreme Court 515 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: justice that has been confirmed in the last ten years, 516 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: she is above reproach. So explain to me the reason 517 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: why Republicans wouldn't vote for her outside of the fact 518 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: that she is black and a woman. But we didn't 519 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: do that either. It's time to stop playing games right 520 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: and actually start playing politics and realize that we need 521 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: to play to win because we're not going to get 522 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: a second chance. That is it for me today, Dear 523 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: friends on wokea app, as always, Power to the people 524 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: and to all the people power, get woke and stay 525 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
