Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl Danielle Moody recording from the Brooklyn Bunker,
Speaker 1: because well, I'm too fucking scared to leave it. Let's
Speaker 1: be real. You know, one of the things that I
Speaker 1: have been noticing over the last couple of weeks, you know,
Speaker 1: being on social media, being on Twitter, is how everyone
Speaker 1: is freely sharing just how emotionally spent exhausted they are.
Speaker 1: And I say that that is a good thing because
Speaker 1: I think that too often we're sitting alone in our
Speaker 1: feelings trying to work them through and trying to process,
Speaker 1: like and describe what is this feeling of dread? Like? What? What?
Speaker 1: What is this feeling of unease that I have that
Speaker 1: I can't shake? And I expressed to you all yesterday,
Speaker 1: you know that following the news of the shooting in
Speaker 1: um in the subway in New York, that I was
Speaker 1: really shaken up, and you know, and then I started
Speaker 1: to like beat myself up for the fact that I
Speaker 1: was shaken up, that somehow I felt that I should
Speaker 1: just be able to kind of power through. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many mass shootings have we been through? How many
Speaker 1: mass shootings, you know, make the headlines and how many
Speaker 1: of them don't, and that it has become such a
Speaker 1: normalized part of everyday existence in America that I found
Speaker 1: myself even though I found myself saying to a friend,
Speaker 1: I'm too busy to cry. I don't really have the
Speaker 1: time I got, you know, this to write and these
Speaker 1: shows to do, and and and emails to answer. And
Speaker 1: so it's this continued grind that we're in where we're
Speaker 1: still in a pandemic, right, We're still in a pandemic
Speaker 1: where we have to be a point to variant that
Speaker 1: has overtaken the omicron variant. You have the CDC that announces, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we're going to kick the can down the road and
Speaker 1: we're going to have mass on you know, transportation for
Speaker 1: another two weeks. And I tweeted, and I said, because
Speaker 1: what do we think that they're going to discover in
Speaker 1: two weeks that they don't fucking know now mass work
Speaker 1: and no one has stopped travel. You have airlines and
Speaker 1: the train operator not the train operators, but these CEOs
Speaker 1: that are trying to put pressure on Congress and Republicans
Speaker 1: suing rights, multiple states suing the CDC to release these
Speaker 1: mass mandates and I'm like, I'm sorry, Am I missing something?
Speaker 1: Are these airlines not fucking making money making billions of
Speaker 1: dollars for price gouging people? Right like they're trying to
Speaker 1: make up for what the sick months that they didn't
Speaker 1: make any money. I've been to the airport I have flown.
Speaker 1: They're not you know, they're not working at the understaffed
Speaker 1: and low population level. No things are actually back. So
Speaker 1: if the decision is being made around you know, purely
Speaker 1: capitalistic reasons, then show me where you're losing money, Show
Speaker 1: me where things are down. Because people need to put
Speaker 1: a fucking cloth mask over their face so that we
Speaker 1: all don't breathe in COVID, right Like, I'm just I
Speaker 1: get to the point of just breaking, which kind of
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. I'm going to be honest that by the
Speaker 1: time that the day was finished and I had not
Speaker 1: one but two martinis that I made for myself at home,
Speaker 1: I was just like sitting on my couch and I
Speaker 1: just got overwhelmed and I started tearing up. I started crying.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't through pain, it was just through sheer
Speaker 1: frustration and overwhelmed. I am just tired of all of
Speaker 1: this shit. I'm tired of Democrats not battling against people
Speaker 1: that are literally putting this country in our democracy through
Speaker 1: the ringer. I'm tired of the lies being told as
Speaker 1: if COVID does not exist and hasn't killed millions of
Speaker 1: people around the world. There's a piece right now. I
Speaker 1: didn't read it yet. There's a piece right now in
Speaker 1: the New York Times, and the headline was something like
Speaker 1: grandparents taking over because two hundred thousand children in the
Speaker 1: United States, almost a quarter of a million. Two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand children in the United States lost at least one
Speaker 1: parent to COVID and now or both, and now their
Speaker 1: grandparents are stepping in to take care of them. That's
Speaker 1: an actual news story right now. But we're having a
Speaker 1: debate about whether or not we should remove mass from
Speaker 1: public transportation. I mean, mass mandates have all but gone
Speaker 1: away in a majority of cities and places. But I
Speaker 1: will tell you, as somebody that was tally just on
Speaker 1: the Amtrak to and from Washington, DC last week, I
Speaker 1: feel comfortable being locked inside of this moving tube because
Speaker 1: everybody has to wear a fucking mask. And yes, people
Speaker 1: are still eating and drinking, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: right the mask is on and the ventilation and the
Speaker 1: air is pumping, and it's a way for you to
Speaker 1: be able to try, Like, why is it that it
Speaker 1: is the least among us, right that have the loudest
Speaker 1: fucking voices. So, whether it is and I'm going to
Speaker 1: get into this, whether it is about being pro gun
Speaker 1: and having no restrictions on guns whatsoever, so that has
Speaker 1: to infringe upon my fucking safety and my ability to
Speaker 1: feel like I can leave my home in my neighborhood
Speaker 1: and feel fucking safe because I got gun tote. Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: all over the place. Right. And then these people with
Speaker 1: the mask, if you were to do a then diagram,
Speaker 1: it's the same fucking people, right, The people who didn't
Speaker 1: want to wear a mask, right, are the same fucking
Speaker 1: pro gun people, are the same fucking anti portion people.
Speaker 1: They're the same demographic. And the fact that I'm saying
Speaker 1: this because the numbers, the numbers that they actually have
Speaker 1: are small in comparison to the majority of us. But
Speaker 1: they literally have figured out how to become the squeaky
Speaker 1: wheel that is consistently consistently pampered too, Right, And I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm over it. I am over it. You know,
Speaker 1: I said yesterday on my woke Wednesday, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: following this shooting, you all listen to the conversation with
Speaker 1: Jonathan Metzal that I had, And the reality is that
Speaker 1: Republicans want to turn this country into the wild wild West.
Speaker 1: They want to have people you know, in the streets,
Speaker 1: no social safety nets. Only the rich are able to
Speaker 1: continue to navigate. This just desert of despair that they're creating.
Speaker 1: Like that, That's literally what it is. Right, So people,
Speaker 1: pregnant people can't get abortions, gay people and trans people
Speaker 1: are forced back into the closets. You have climate change rearing,
Speaker 1: you have a global health pandemic that we're never going
Speaker 1: to get a hold of, and just continues to mutate
Speaker 1: with multiple variants over and over again. And just wait, folks,
Speaker 1: just wait, because the next variant that is going to
Speaker 1: come is not going to be of the shrug off variety,
Speaker 1: right like those This is the truth. But you see,
Speaker 1: the thing is is that if we are all spinning
Speaker 1: out of control, we're spinning out in overwhelm, We're spinning
Speaker 1: out in fucking misery and feeling like there is just
Speaker 1: no path through this darkness. This is how fascism and
Speaker 1: authoritarianism rises like they are literally playing through the same
Speaker 1: playbook that got Hitler into power. But you have Joe
Speaker 1: Biden doing these tough talk, fucking press conferences and the
Speaker 1: only motherfucker he's calling out is Putin And I'm saying, bitch,
Speaker 1: make the bridge, make the connection. Right. So you have
Speaker 1: Putin deciding that he's going to sanction I think he's
Speaker 1: sanctioned over like three hundred and ninety eight members or
Speaker 1: something crazy right of the House of Representatives. And I'm
Speaker 1: saying to myself, do you know what I would do?
Speaker 1: If I were Merritt Garland and wasn't a sloth and
Speaker 1: actually believed in upholding American institutions and values and justice
Speaker 1: and not just in name only. I would start an
Speaker 1: investigation into the motherfucker's who didn't receive putent sanction and
Speaker 1: wonder why why aren't you being sanctioned? Right? I would
Speaker 1: go into an investigation, open up an investigation into Tucker Carlson. No,
Speaker 1: but nobody wants to play politics. But it's totally okay
Speaker 1: for Republicans to consistently make up lies, lies that turned
Speaker 1: into you know, millions of dollars spent during the Benghazi
Speaker 1: hearings right to haul Hillary Clinton and to do nothing
Speaker 1: other than to smear her name. But then at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, when we have all of the
Speaker 1: evidence on our side, to justify the fact that we're
Speaker 1: not playing politics. This isn't politics, It's about fucking democracy.
Speaker 1: And if motherfuckers are going to call you outside your
Speaker 1: name regardless, then why wouldn't you do the work. This
Speaker 1: is where I am with Democrats right now, is that
Speaker 1: they are so fucking tepid, and tepid is a nice
Speaker 1: euphemism because it's not even tepidness. They're lackluster. They're jellyfish,
Speaker 1: They're spineless, right, they have absolutely no fight in them whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And they're so they move in such a way that
Speaker 1: they are so afraid of how Republicans are going to react.
Speaker 1: And I continue to say, you cannot lead like that.
Speaker 1: My cross country coach us to tell us in high school,
Speaker 1: you can't lead from the back. So if I'm saying
Speaker 1: that you're one of the leaders of the team, right,
Speaker 1: you need to be out front. How you leading from
Speaker 1: the back. But that's what democrats logic is. So you
Speaker 1: have right now, one of the most violent tax that
Speaker 1: is coming that it's been coming, it's been brewing, and
Speaker 1: it came once again, as most things in the Republican
Speaker 1: Party these days, are coming from QAnon. QAnon fucking batshit
Speaker 1: crazy theory has found its way into mainstream Republicanism, and
Speaker 1: one of QAnon's biggest and most disgusting theories. Democrats are
Speaker 1: running some type of pedophilia ring right now. A couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, we all wanted to like that wasn't
Speaker 1: even making anybody's news, right, We're just like, oh, those
Speaker 1: are the crazies over there, because that's clearly not the case. Right. No, No,
Speaker 1: you heard it come up in the hearings for Judge
Speaker 1: Katangi Brown Jackson. Right, Oh, you're soft on pedophilia, you're
Speaker 1: soft on sex crimes. You hear it now through that
Speaker 1: the siren of batshit Crazy, which is Marshary Taylor Green
Speaker 1: saying that the Democratic Party is just filled with pedophiles.
Speaker 1: And then I heard recently that Hakim Jeffries has said, oh, well,
Speaker 1: that's just nonsense, and we don't respond to nonsense. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what happens when you don't respond to
Speaker 1: what you perceive to be nonsense. You have what happened
Speaker 1: in Virginia, Right, Virginia was in the blue column for
Speaker 1: the last twelve years up until Junkin comes in. And
Speaker 1: what does Trump and a Vest do. Trump and a
Speaker 1: Vest decides to turn his entire campaign into being about
Speaker 1: parental control. And what is at the core of this
Speaker 1: quote unquote parental control? It is critical race theory, which
Speaker 1: I've told you time and time again, is not taught
Speaker 1: in K through twelve schools. It's not even taught in
Speaker 1: undergrad It's taught in select as an elective in selective
Speaker 1: law schools. Right, but it doesn't don't allow the truth
Speaker 1: to get in the way of a good story and
Speaker 1: a good campaign. Glenn Uncan didn't. And what ended up
Speaker 1: happening is that Democrats didn't actually formulate any type of
Speaker 1: messaging or plan to come back to the nonsense about
Speaker 1: critical race theory. Instead, they decided to ignore it. And
Speaker 1: now we have Governor Junkin and Virginia has gone back
Speaker 1: into the red column. And what Republicans are doing, it's
Speaker 1: basically using there when in Virginia to create the framework
Speaker 1: and the and the strategic planning that they are doing
Speaker 1: now all across the country, right, making criminalizing education, because
Speaker 1: if you are a teacher right now in any of
Speaker 1: these red states, I would be fucking scared to even
Speaker 1: talk about Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, you know,
Speaker 1: the people that they love to bring out during Black
Speaker 1: History Month to use their quotes as if they're not racist,
Speaker 1: just so that they can put on some political black face. Right,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even want to talk about that, because God forbid,
Speaker 1: little Josie and Jamal go home and say, look what
Speaker 1: I learned today, Mom, dad, grandma, and then the parents
Speaker 1: come marching up to the school slap a lawsuit on you.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of vigilanteism that Republicans have set
Speaker 1: out and Democrats haven't pushed back on. So now they
Speaker 1: started with critical race theory, they've moved into don't say gay,
Speaker 1: what the fuck you think is coming next? So my
Speaker 1: thing is that you don't at some point in time,
Speaker 1: you don't just ignore the bully that is in the schoolyard.
Speaker 1: You actually walk up to them and you punch them
Speaker 1: directly in the fucking face, right because you let them
Speaker 1: know that you're not to be played with. But Democrats
Speaker 1: don't play like that. They're like hiding in the corner.
Speaker 1: Please don't look at me and don't see me. And
Speaker 1: maybe if I bring you a dollar every day then
Speaker 1: you won't be beating my ass. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I need people to start to recognize that this kind
Speaker 1: of operation from weakness is not a winning strategy, and
Speaker 1: it's having people who are Democrats right, voters who are well,
Speaker 1: what are my two options here? Either I'm a part
Speaker 1: of a white supremist cult, right, or I'm with the jellyfish,
Speaker 1: Like these are my two options. So what will people
Speaker 1: start deciding to do. They'll just opt out altogether and rightfully. So,
Speaker 1: I'm a person that believes in voting. I believe in democracy.
Speaker 1: I believe in government form by the people. But when
Speaker 1: you are putting in and voting for representatives that are
Speaker 1: too chicken shit to actually take it to our political foes,
Speaker 1: I don't know what options we have left, but I
Speaker 1: know that right now, Joe Biden once again held a
Speaker 1: very tough talking press conference, colin putting everything but a
Speaker 1: child of God, saying that he is committing genocide, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, the big buzzword in you know, war crimes
Speaker 1: is genocide. Of course, the Kremlin has come out and said, no,
Speaker 1: we're not committing war crimes. Of course, we're not raping
Speaker 1: and murder ring and you know, executing civilians right and
Speaker 1: blowing up hospitals and train stations like that's not happening.
Speaker 1: It's all made up. Sure, Okay, I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have tough talk on Putin, but I'm saying,
Speaker 1: connect the fucking dots to the Republicans in the United
Speaker 1: States that are supporting Russia in their war of aggression,
Speaker 1: whether they're supporting them with their actual pocketbook or wallets, like,
Speaker 1: let's figure that out. That's what you think you would
Speaker 1: do inside of an investigation, but you sure as fuck
Speaker 1: should be like, so, America on my watch is not
Speaker 1: going to turn into anybody's hungry Turkey or fucking Russia.
Speaker 1: And here are the people that I need to ask,
Speaker 1: where is your patriotism at? Instead of referring to you know,
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell as a man of like good morals and character,
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're talking about this same motherfucker that stole
Speaker 1: a seat from your president when you were vice president.
Speaker 1: We're talking about that guy. We're talking about the one
Speaker 1: that rushed through the confirmation of Amy Covid Barrett in
Speaker 1: thirty days right before, right after the election, and before
Speaker 1: you were able to be sworn in. We're talking about
Speaker 1: that guy, that's the one that you say has good
Speaker 1: moral character. Do I need to look up a new
Speaker 1: definition of what morality is because that ain't it. And
Speaker 1: so the fact is is that if the people that
Speaker 1: are in democratic leadership and are in the establishment can't
Speaker 1: clearly identify our villains right the villains of democracy, then
Speaker 1: I'm confused about how you think that you're going to
Speaker 1: get the people's votes. Like this is the thing that
Speaker 1: I continue to worry about, frankly on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: We got seven months, folks, that's not a lot of time.
Speaker 1: And I know that people like to think that a
Speaker 1: majority of voters don't actually pay attention until around September
Speaker 1: or October, but I'm telling you it is April and
Speaker 1: I'm seeing no change in messaging coming out of the
Speaker 1: Democratic camp. Let's look at abortion right now and what
Speaker 1: is going on with the anti abortion movement. Once again,
Speaker 1: just to remind everyone, Democrats run all of the quote
Speaker 1: unquote points of power outside of the Supreme Court, the Senate,
Speaker 1: the House, and the White House, and I'm saying to myself,
Speaker 1: as you are watching Republicans make decisions state by state
Speaker 1: to not only ban abortion, but to go so far
Speaker 1: as to do what Oklahoma did earlier this week, which
Speaker 1: is to criminalize it, criminalizing pregnant people with up to
Speaker 1: ten years in jail for a felony for terminating their
Speaker 1: own goddamn pregnancy. This is where we're going. So I'm
Speaker 1: saying to myself, where the fuck is the fed the
Speaker 1: outrage at the federal level. Now you can tell me, oh,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that we can do but executive orders, and
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you got two years for those executive orders
Speaker 1: to stick, So what are you doing. The federal government
Speaker 1: during COVID right decided when the Biden administration came in
Speaker 1: that they were going to allow medical abortions to happen.
Speaker 1: These are the two pill situations that allow pregnant people
Speaker 1: to be able to have a safe abortion at home.
Speaker 1: They did that during COVID and why because you couldn't
Speaker 1: leave your home. And here's something that has a kind
Speaker 1: of you know, deadline. So they allow this to stay, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking to myself, this is great, So what
Speaker 1: else are you going to do. You're able to use
Speaker 1: these medications for up to ten weeks. But there are
Speaker 1: nineteen states in this country that still require you to
Speaker 1: have a physician a physician sign off for you to
Speaker 1: be able to access that medication. So, now, if you
Speaker 1: are a physician that is in one of those states
Speaker 1: that are now criminalizing abortion, you think that you're writing scripts. No,
Speaker 1: So we actually need the Department of Justice to penalize
Speaker 1: these states for not following the FDA's guidelines. But we're
Speaker 1: seeing no action in that way. I'm not hearing Merritt
Speaker 1: Garland saying We're going after Oklahoma, We're going after Texas,
Speaker 1: We're going after Florida. No, there's no murmurings. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: am I missing something? Like if this is what winning
Speaker 1: looks like? That I am terrified to know what it's
Speaker 1: going to look like post November, because if the Pauls
Speaker 1: hold right, we're fucked. And you know, it was funny
Speaker 1: because when I was in DC last week and I'm
Speaker 1: talking to folks there and everyone right who is working
Speaker 1: at national organizations and in the grass roots are just like,
Speaker 1: what do you think is happening with the Biden administration?
Speaker 1: Like is it that they feel like they're gonna get
Speaker 1: a second bide at the Apple. Because the thing that
Speaker 1: I keep trying to convey on this show and on
Speaker 1: others is this, when midterms are lost, that is it period.
Speaker 1: Republicans will take control of the Senate, they will take
Speaker 1: control of the House, and guess what is They're going
Speaker 1: to be their first mode of operation to start the
Speaker 1: impeachment process for Joe Biden. And they're going to use
Speaker 1: his son Hunter as the way to get to Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Now we know damn youson Hunter Biden's laptop for I
Speaker 1: don't even know how long now right to try and
Speaker 1: smear Biden. But here's the thing. Republicans have already showed
Speaker 1: you that they don't operate inside of the rule of
Speaker 1: law or the constitution. Right, that's a mere suggestion to them.
Speaker 1: So we can say, oh, well, they're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to impeach him. They have no grounds, they
Speaker 1: don't need any All they need is control of the
Speaker 1: House and the Senate. So then after they're able to
Speaker 1: impeach Joe Biden for no fucking reason whatsoever, what else
Speaker 1: do you think that they're going to do? Probably open
Speaker 1: up a commission and investigation so that they can get Hillary,
Speaker 1: get Barack Obama, and go down their list right and
Speaker 1: start to create a situation where we have political prisoners
Speaker 1: in this country. You think that I'm being crazy, right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Danielle, that could never happen. Well, I
Speaker 1: never thought that I would see an insurrection, and that happened.
Speaker 1: And right now you have the one six Commission weighing
Speaker 1: and quote unquote split on whether or not they're going
Speaker 1: to actually refer Donald Trump and company to the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice for criminal charges. Now you have some that
Speaker 1: are speculating in the news that say, well, it's nothing
Speaker 1: more than, you know, symbolism. It's not as if the
Speaker 1: one six Commission has any teeth. Well, guess what America
Speaker 1: is starving for right now? Some sign that justice is
Speaker 1: actually going to prevail, some sign that when we say
Speaker 1: that no one is above the law, that that isn't
Speaker 1: just some bullshit bumper sticker, that there is actual action
Speaker 1: behind that. So America is starving for a symbol, a
Speaker 1: sign that those that were so brazen in their attempt
Speaker 1: to overthrow our government, so brazen in fact, that they
Speaker 1: advertised and celebrated it on social media that not just
Speaker 1: the foot soldiers, but the architects of said insurrection, like
Speaker 1: the Ginny Thomases of the world, are going to be
Speaker 1: hauled the fuck in. But if you decide that, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're running this marathon and I get
Speaker 1: to the twenty sixth mile and even though a full
Speaker 1: marathon is point two, I'm going to give up the fuck?
Speaker 1: How do it work? How does that work? And here's
Speaker 1: the thing that I've been thinking about too. I honestly
Speaker 1: believe sometimes that Democrats want to lose because you see,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to win, you wouldn't act like this, right.
Speaker 1: I think that they like being in the minority so
Speaker 1: that they can wag their fingers and they can stomp
Speaker 1: their feet, and they can give the appearance and the
Speaker 1: performance of action. But then no one is going to
Speaker 1: hold them to account for what it is that they
Speaker 1: can and can't do, because they say, oh, my hands
Speaker 1: are tied behind my back. But when we get the
Speaker 1: majority back, then things will be different. Well, we gave
Speaker 1: you the majority back. We didn't give you a supermajority,
Speaker 1: but we gave you the majority back, and you're still
Speaker 1: operating as if you are in the political minority, and
Speaker 1: you're not. You will be soon, and at that point
Speaker 1: we might as well just all, I don't know, look
Speaker 1: at the Constitution as some type of relic, because it's
Speaker 1: not going to be, you know, a living, breathing document.
Speaker 1: I find this all just so easy to put together.
Speaker 1: You know. Somebody said to me, you know, Danielle, I
Speaker 1: don't just need rants, I need solutions. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: here's a solution. Here's a couple of things that I
Speaker 1: believe can actually happen and should happen. Right one, I
Speaker 1: believe that the ones Excommission should refer right Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and company to the Department of Justice. I believe that
Speaker 1: then Merritt Garland should openly begin to indict all of
Speaker 1: those that are responsible, from Eastman to Bannon to fucking
Speaker 1: Meadows to Trump. Right open up an investigation into Jinny
Speaker 1: Thomas to see whether or not we have a compromised
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice. Reminder, the lone dissenter on whether or
Speaker 1: not Trump should be forced to release his records because
Speaker 1: guess whose number was going to show up his wives.
Speaker 1: We need to act as if we are at war.
Speaker 1: So that's number one. Number two is a full blown
Speaker 1: messaging campaign, right, and I mean taking on the lies
Speaker 1: about critical race theory, taking on the lies about pedophilia. Right.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If you're talking about critical race
Speaker 1: theory and I my response wouldn't be critical race theories
Speaker 1: and isn't taught in the schools and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: It would be why are you so afraid of history
Speaker 1: outside of the lens of six white men? What is
Speaker 1: it that terrifies you about people of color and queer
Speaker 1: people in this country? What is it that terrifies you
Speaker 1: about talking about gender equity? Right? Force Republicans on the defensive. Right,
Speaker 1: Force them to explain to the American people why they
Speaker 1: don't want your kids learning anything other than Columbus discovered America,
Speaker 1: which we all know is a fucking lie. Make them
Speaker 1: tell you that no one else's story outside of six
Speaker 1: white men matter. Make them explain it, right. Don't just
Speaker 1: think that you're going to ignore this and that somehow
Speaker 1: it's going to go away, or oh as Democrats left
Speaker 1: to say, we don't want to provide oxygen to this bitch.
Speaker 1: They got oxygen tanks on, right. They are funneling this
Speaker 1: shit in the way they do in fucking Vegas right now.
Speaker 1: So deciding that you're just going to ignore reality from
Speaker 1: happening doesn't mean that reality ceased to exist. That's on
Speaker 1: critical race theory as it goes with these don't say
Speaker 1: gay bills, Oh, I don't know, once again putting them
Speaker 1: on the defensive. So if you're so right, you so
Speaker 1: activated against pedophilia, why are you harboring so many sexual
Speaker 1: predators within the Republican Party? And I would start with,
Speaker 1: you know Matt Gates, who is under in investigation for
Speaker 1: sex trafficking and sex with a fucking minor. I said
Speaker 1: this on woke Wednesday. Daily Coast has a thirty part
Speaker 1: investigative series. They are running a list and it has
Speaker 1: thirty parts naming republic Republican sexual predators and enablers and traffickers,
Speaker 1: thirty parts. That's not just one bad apple, right, that
Speaker 1: is something that is has become endemic within the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: So when you have this group deciding that they are
Speaker 1: going to start referring to Democrats as groomers, right, saying
Speaker 1: that their anti gay bills are these anti groomer bills.
Speaker 1: Grooming language is what you use for pedophiles, right, because
Speaker 1: they groom. They're victims. And this is what is being
Speaker 1: said about Democrats right now. I would throw it back
Speaker 1: in their fucking faces, have them defend all of the
Speaker 1: Republican sexual predators that they have within their party. Oh,
Speaker 1: but we don't want to. We don't want to what
Speaker 1: we don't want to fight fire with fire again, believing
Speaker 1: that somehow by ignoring these problems they are going to
Speaker 1: go away. No, they don't go away. They actually become
Speaker 1: members of Congress like Lauren Bobert, like Marjorie Taylor Green,
Speaker 1: like fucking Madison Crawford, like Josh Holly. Right, that's what
Speaker 1: they're doing. Ignoring them does not make the problem go away.
Speaker 1: So number two is that messaging campaign Number three, fucking
Speaker 1: erase student loan debt and stop kicking the can down
Speaker 1: the road. People have had student loan debt deferment and
Speaker 1: pause for the last two years, right, you know the
Speaker 1: kind of economic catastrophe and burden this debt has on
Speaker 1: forty five million plus Americans. Relieve it. Then you will
Speaker 1: get young people, right as well as older Americans that
Speaker 1: are in these debt end jobs solely why so that
Speaker 1: they can pay back their student loans. What would happen
Speaker 1: to our economy. Right, if people did not have this
Speaker 1: burden of debt over them, it shouldn't be this hard.
Speaker 1: It honestly should not be this difficult to get this
Speaker 1: administration to do the right thing. This is what people
Speaker 1: voted for. This is what the people wanted. They wanted change,
Speaker 1: They wanted to feel like they had people that were
Speaker 1: fighting for them, that we're on their side, and not
Speaker 1: just in slogan only, but that we're going to back
Speaker 1: it up with policy. And when you can't get policy
Speaker 1: done because you have a juggernaut inside of Congress, then
Speaker 1: you use the executive orders, but you turn it into
Speaker 1: a messaging campaign. Look, Republicans don't want to help the
Speaker 1: American people. They haven't wanted to do that. They are
Speaker 1: the Party of No, and have been for the last
Speaker 1: decade plus. So paint them that way. Don't refer to
Speaker 1: them as your friend, don't refer to them as your colleague.
Speaker 1: They are anti democracy, they are anti patriotism. Tell the
Speaker 1: people who they are so that when they are making
Speaker 1: their decisions in the voting booth come seven months from now,
Speaker 1: it is clear that anybody within our next to their
Speaker 1: name isn't for democracy. So that you don't fall for
Speaker 1: the ropeadope, you don't fall for Trump light in a
Speaker 1: vest because instead of saying that he is, you know,
Speaker 1: an outright racist, right and I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about people from shiitthhole countries. Instead of recognizing that, right,
Speaker 1: understand that they're going to use all of this smooth
Speaker 1: language parental control. Parents should have control. Of course, parents
Speaker 1: are going to agree call out their bullshit. It really
Speaker 1: is not that hard to do, but we continue to
Speaker 1: believe that it is impossible, and it's not. We have
Speaker 1: so much work ahead, and I would say, like, folks,
Speaker 1: you know, roll up your sleeves, like we got to
Speaker 1: do this. But I'm tired, and I know that if
Speaker 1: I am tired, you all are tired too. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want somebody who is supposed to be the leader
Speaker 1: of the Freish world. Tell us what I'm rolling up
Speaker 1: my sleeves to do. Tell me who I'm rolling up
Speaker 1: my sleeves to fight for, you know. And again, this
Speaker 1: desire for bipartisanship is going to be the death of us,
Speaker 1: because you know, when Republicans are in power, they're not
Speaker 1: looking for anybody's bipartisanship. They are fucking steamrolling this bitch.
Speaker 1: So why can't we do the same and know that
Speaker 1: we are actually on the side of right. Why do
Speaker 1: we have to be compelled to bring these motherfuckers along
Speaker 1: who are outwardly showing you that they don't believe in
Speaker 1: collaboration or coordination. They believe in authoritarianism. They want only
Speaker 1: their voters to be able to vote, and that is it.
Speaker 1: They are telling you everything that you need to know,
Speaker 1: but we keep wanting them to be better. They're not.
Speaker 1: They are not. And I know one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things you know of the last couple of weeks was
Speaker 1: the fact that we could say, oh, Judge Katangi Brown
Speaker 1: Jackson was confirmed through bipartisanship because three three Republicans voted
Speaker 1: for her. That's not a win, folks. It should be
Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the Republican Party. But instead of Democrats
Speaker 1: using that as a point to say, this woman is impeccable.
Speaker 1: If you look at her record against any Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice that has been confirmed in the last ten years,
Speaker 1: she is above reproach. So explain to me the reason
Speaker 1: why Republicans wouldn't vote for her outside of the fact
Speaker 1: that she is black and a woman. But we didn't
Speaker 1: do that either. It's time to stop playing games right
Speaker 1: and actually start playing politics and realize that we need
Speaker 1: to play to win because we're not going to get
Speaker 1: a second chance. That is it for me today, Dear
Speaker 1: friends on wokea app, as always, Power to the people
Speaker 1: and to all the people power, get woke and stay
Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
