WEBVTT - Delmicron and Florona 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.840 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with me, 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.239 your girl, Danielle Moody once again recording from the Brooklyn Bunker. 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.079 Why because, folks, yesterday I learned two new words that 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.320 I never ever wanted to fucking learn. Do you know 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.000 what those two words are? Let me tell you. They 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:38.480 are del macron and flarna. Yes, del macron and farona. Now, 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.920 when you think about those two words, I'm certain, I'm 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:47.440 certain what comes to mind because when I read those 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.440 two words in a latest article at the Daily Beast. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.920 Also another article in the cut entitled what fresh hell 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.640 is this? That is exactly what I thought, New Year, 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:08.800 New healthscape. So apparently, dear friends, delmicron is a commo 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:14.640 effect of both delta and omicron coming together and making 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:20.559 a lovely double effect virus, a twindemic, if you will. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:27.520 Flena is the flu and corona combined together to create 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.560 a whole new fucking illness called flena. Now you may 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.440 be saying to yourself, Danielle, where are you getting this 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.480 information from? We'll let me tell you. The first case 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:45.240 of flu rona was detected in Israel by a pregnant, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:51.160 unvaccinated woman who didn't realize that she had either the 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.120 flu or the coronavirus. She had a combination of the 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.400 two of them. And why this is problematic is because 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:04.320 obviously both the flu and the coronavirus affect your respiratory system, right, 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.800 and so if you are an unvaccinated person, who is 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.720 you know, just live in life, willy nilly, you know, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.880 by the seat of your fucking pants. This is what 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.320 these mutations are now mutating into. Now, I want you 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.040 to think about del Macron for a minute, because this 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.840 is the one that scared the shit out of me, 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.400 because I kept saying, with so much omicron virus that 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.720 is in the air, with over eight hundred there at now, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.880 while I'm certain by the time that you all listen 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.240 to this the number will have gone up, but currently 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.040 eight hundred and twenty nine thousand Americans have died from 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.640 the coronavirus. Eight hundred and twenty nine thousand. You still 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.720 have governors like Ron de Santis who had a press 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.520 conference to talk about how the vaccines don't work because 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.079 people are still getting infected. Well, other than being a 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.880 fucking idiot, Rons also isn't a doctor. And what we 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.959 have known and what we have been told about the 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.799 vaccine is that it won't stop you from getting infected, 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.639 it will stop you from dying. But when you tell 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.640 that too, you know the white supremacist death cult. It 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:19.440 falls on non hearing ears. Nonetheless, what I have been 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.120 fearing is what happens when you have a variant that 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.000 is both evasive right to the vaccines, as omicron has 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.320 shown itself to be and spreads even faster than the 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:40.000 previous delta, but also now is actually just as deadly 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.040 as the original one. So follow me on what I 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.840 just said, that you would have a variant right that 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.360 is the combo effect of having both the severity and 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:57.520 symptoms that delta has, but also spreads just as fast, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.720 if not faster then omicron and it's vaccine evasive. Right 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.960 therein lies del macron, where there have in fact been 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.440 cases that have been reported of folks that have both 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:18.400 viruses available in their system. Now right now, this is 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.560 not of quote unquote concern by the World Health Organization, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.159 but it is something that we will share as fuck 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.360 be following on woke a f and I want you 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.680 all to just be perking up your ears if you 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.200 hear more chatter about florna and del macron because the 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.720 reality is this, we are not going to escape a 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.919 new variant from forming. And the reason for this is 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.440 what doctor Jonathan Metzel has been telling us over the 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.160 past two years, is that when there is more virus 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.359 in the air, right, the likelihood of it mutating over 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.599 and over and over again becomes higher. And he says, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:59.680 the virus is mutating every single second of every single day. Right. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.640 What we look for, or what scientists look for, are 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.440 those variants that then become dominant, that then become that 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.080 variant of concern, that then become something that is sweeping 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.680 the nation within three to four weeks. But the fact 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:25.279 is this the reality that we still have, right even 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.720 as hospital systems are buckling across this country. And I'm 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.039 thinking to myself, I have this very dark thought last 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:36.200 night where I said, maybe they should just all fail, right, Like, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.320 what do you think would happen if you know every 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.040 healthcare professional decided to walk off the job because they 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.719 have reached their emotional capacity to be able to deal 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.080 with this much death at one time. No one can 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.599 prepare you for the type of training, right, Like, there 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.760 is no training that these people could have gone through 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.919 in their years of meta school, nursing school, and what 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.760 have you to prepare them for what life is like 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.000 in this pandemic where at this moment, right we steal 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.240 are our country that is only sixty two percent vaccinated. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.200 And what I just heard on Cable News before I 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.360 came on to broadcast is that those that are within 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.719 the five to twelve year old range, you know, the 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.880 numbers that are climbing in pediatric hospitals, are only fourteen 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.240 percent vaccinated. And here's a question that was asked by 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.640 Nicole Wallace on MSNBC that I feel the need to 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.920 ask again, why the fucking hesitancy? Do you know how 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.240 many vaccines your fucking kids need to have in order 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.040 for them to go to kindergarten, in order for them 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:49.279 to walk into a headstart or preschool? Right? So many? 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.839 Do you know how many shots your newborn babies have 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.479 to get in order for them to be clear to 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.719 do anything, to be able to be around people. I 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.360 don't see anybody protesting that. And oh, because oh this 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.920 is new, bitch, so was the new iPhone. I don't 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.240 see people saying that. I'm so concerned about how quickly 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.920 this was created. Right, we look for ease in every 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.840 other form of our lives, and we take it. Right. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.600 We look at oh, facial recognition and we think to ourselves, oh, well, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.840 that's great. I don't have to punch in my code. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.720 It doesn't matter that Google and Facebook and everybody else 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.280 is stealing my information and using the face of recognition 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.480 system to then sell to the police departments that my 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.040 face could end up in a database one day. Right 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.440 when we have an authoritarian dictator, No one thinks about that. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.400 Nobody thinks about the ways in which you know, Netflix 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.720 is tracking what it is that you're watching so that 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.760 they can better sell to you. Right, no one is 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.680 thinking about that. They just think of the ease of 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.559 being able to sit on your couch and get through 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.440 movies and shows and not have to go into these 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.760 theaters and be around people. Nobody thought about the fact that, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.640 oh my god, it's too quick about people delivering my 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.160 food with DoorDash and seamless and all of these caviare 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.520 and all of these things. What if the people spit 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.960 in my food? What if they tainted in some type 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.760 of way. No, you just lobbed onto the convenience factor 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.600 of being able to have hot food delivered at your door, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.920 with you never having to leave your fucking home. The vaccine, 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:29.360 these boosters are convenience for us to be able to 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:34.240 have some type of normalcy in this abnormal fucking world 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.240 that we're living in. And all I can continue to 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:42.040 go back to with deep frustration and rage that is 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:47.200 blossoming inside of me like a rose is the fact 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.240 that all of this comes down to messaging and that 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:57.600 somebody from Fox News, Newsmax, QAnon, the Trump administration, from 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:02.240 fucking Congress should be held at accountable for the goddamned 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:08.200 deaths that we are continuing to see. Because all we 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:13.880 understand now, folks, is this. It's not misinformation, right, It's 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.760 not deception. It's full blown fucking lies from the mouths 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:25.080 of a death cult that is led by a white supremacist, misogynist, stake, homophobic, transphobic, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.000 anti Semitic piece of shit, right, And the fact is 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:34.520 is that he was able to hook his claws into 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:40.000 the psyche of the American public and just plant little 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.079 seeds of doubt, which is what Trump and his fucking 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:48.240 acolytes have all done, plant these seeds all around the 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.520 country in millions and millions of minds for folks to 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.320 second guests right and decide that no, no, they don't 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.000 need seven eight years of schooling. All they need is 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.640 WebMD all they needed a YouTube video of some fucking 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.280 quack on there telling them that, oh, yeah, take a 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.000 horse tranquilizer. We'll do that, but we won't take a 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.200 vaccine that is made for actual fucking people. You know 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:19.320 what pisses me off? It's so much. But you know 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:27.040 what I tweeted today that really got me is, you know, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.160 we're watching the news reports go back and forth on 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.480 how work should open, if schools should open. There are 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.240 thousands of schools across the country apparently that are closed 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.360 this week, and rightfully so, because they've either had teachers 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.160 or nurses or administrators or children all test positive for 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.920 COVID right, which, of course that is going to happen. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.199 We just came off of one of the largest gathering 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:55.360 holiday seasons right in this country. So what would have 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.359 made the most sense, right, let me offer a increably 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.959 radical idea that I don't know why people with sense 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.520 and with power to make these decisions didn't fucking think of. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:16.760 We could have instituted a two week remote work situation. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.600 And a two week remote schooling situation, or better yet, 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.000 make the winter break a little bit longer, tack that 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.280 on to the summer months, right, and let school out 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.360 a little bit later when it is warmer outside, when 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.040 you have windows that are open, when you can do 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:42.280 more activities outside. Also that folks could have come off 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:47.199 of the holiday, had some type of quarantine light and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.960 then be able to test negatively back into school and 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.960 back into the workplace. As our seasons are changing, right, 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.080 as we have warmer temperatures, and as we created a 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:06.560 much needed buffer between the holiday surge, right and the 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.760 rush back to work and back to school. Why couldn't 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.160 have that Why couldn't that have been an option? Right? 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.840 The government doesn't have to mandate it, but they could 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.040 strongly have fucking suggested it. They could have called all 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.000 the governors together, at least the ones with some fucking sense, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:29.520 and been like, here's an idea. Here's an idea. Private corporations, 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.320 which again are way ahead of the curve of government. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.400 And if you have the good fortune to work in 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.320 private industry, many of them have been working from home. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.800 Those that had big decisions and grand plans to come 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.840 back to work in January decided to wait out the 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:51.560 fucking searge. I don't get it right, because here's the thing. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.280 We do so many things as it pertains to schooling 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.440 that just doesn't make any fucking sense, but we do 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.600 it because it's the way we've all always done it. Right. So, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.320 in the area that I live in New York, and 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.760 when I was growing up on Eastern Long Island, schools 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.640 right for high schoolers, you were going in at say, seven, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.960 eight o'clock in the morning, and by two o'clock in 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.120 the afternoon you were done, right, And so you're going 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.240 home unsupervised because I don't know who the fuck is 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.840 getting off work at two o'clock in the afternoon to 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.439 look after their kids. It's to say, similarly with elementary 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:31.360 school where I grew up, right, elementary school started at 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.880 nine and ended at three pm, right, which still to 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.960 me makes absolutely no sense to have children operate on 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:44.240 the opposite schedule of their parents and caretakers. We also 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:49.040 have what summer breaks, which, again, what is the point 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.920 of having two months off from school? Oh, I don't know, 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.199 because we used to be an agriculturally based society and 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.840 you needed those summer months to harvest, to plant, to grow, 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.200 to do all of these things. Well, now, what do 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.679 we know? We know that children lose learning right in 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.720 the two months that they are not in school, and 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.360 that summer break isn't actually a necessity. You could in 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:17.000 fact have year round school where you just give those 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.400 chunks of two weeks here or a week here right 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:26.160 throughout the year, okay, and then put children on their parents' schedules. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.360 Why do I say all of this because to make 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.840 minor fucking changes as we are living in a global 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:39.480 health pandemic, such as maybe the winter break being a 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.200 little bit longer, because we know that the surge always 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.160 happens between November and fucking January, that maybe for the 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.520 Christmas holiday, you wouldn't have kids return back, whether it 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.680 is in elementary or secondary schools, you wouldn't have them 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:02.600 come back until a couple of weeks later, which means 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.120 that you then tack on the time that they have 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.880 lost from learning to a later part of the year 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.040 like summer, when they don't actually need the full two 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.160 fucking months off. Right. All of this is arbitrary. It 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.960 doesn't go with the psychology or the science between with 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.920 how children learn, right, I'm so tongue twisted because I'm 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:30.120 just annoyed. I'm annoyed why we continue to do things 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.480 the way we have just because right with no adaptation 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:41.200 and no innovation to the current moments, there was no 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.520 reason right to say, okay, kids, well it's January third, 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.600 and we're back to school, having no time between the 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.400 amount of time that you were just around your family 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.160 and relatives that are around the country, whether or not 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.720 you were testing or not testing. And now we're going 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.800 to take all of this super collected virus and we're 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.040 gonna push you into a school buildings with poor fucking 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.000 air filters or a no HVAC systems, and we're going 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.720 to do the same thing to your parents. And then 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.040 we're gonna sit around and we're gonna look up at 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.840 the sky and we're gonna read the headlines and we're 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.560 gonna say, oh my god, this surge is out of control. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:25.080 No fucking shit. I just I don't get it. I 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.040 don't get it. And all we keep hearing is that, 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.480 you know the country will continue to crater and fall 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.240 if you know, if people don't work while they're sick, that, 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.680 oh my god, kids, And the next generations won't learn 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.160 anything if we don't find ways to adapt our learning. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.520 You see, the thing is is that we were already 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.320 falling behind in so many fucking metrics when it comes 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.760 to how we educate kids. The pandemic actually offered us 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.320 a very clear picture of where our gaps are. Now. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.360 Those that have been in education policy and been in 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.320 the education field have known this, have been advocating and 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.520 talking about the need for broadband, the need for better 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.600 infrastructure in schools, the need to be able to use 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:17.359 technology and adapt. Right. But no, No, that all falls 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.879 on nonlistening years. Right, that all falls And we have 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.080 debates right about choice and about this and about that, 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.439 so that you know, when Republicans are in control they 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.000 can continue to siphon off money from public schools. The 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.879 fact is is that we are a country that doesn't 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.439 like to adapt, We don't like change. And that is 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:43.920 exactly why Donald Trump was so delicious to the white 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.720 supremacis in this country, which there are millions of. Just 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.480 because they don't join up with the oath keepers or 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.280 the proud Boys or the Boogaloo boys don't mean that 0:17:54.320 --> 0:18:00.160 they don't subscribe to their values. Admission, right, Donald Trump 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.000 with such an amazing and a charismatic figure, because you see, 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:10.119 change scares white America because when you are steeped in 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:15.600 a scarcity model, right of you have so much because 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.040 the world was created for you and your benefit, and 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.080 anybody else that encroaches upon that is taking away from 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:29.560 you in this land of abundance, right anyone that comes 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.920 in the door and says, I'm going to stop them, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.320 right and not only am I going to stop them, 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.320 I'm even gonna punish them for the audacity to believe 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:42.560 that they could have what you have. Right, So we 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:48.520 don't like change. When you understand the psychology of white Americans, right, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.280 then you understand like how we got to this place. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.680 The thing that has been pissing me off too is 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.440 the fact that you know you have cabled news outlets 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:05.199 this week as we mark the year anniversary of the 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:14.760 Kudata that are wanting to examine American extremism without actually 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:19.880 using the word white. It isn't American extremism. They are 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.080 in a bunch of average Joe's Haley Jackson that decided 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.320 one day that one day the grandmother was baking cookies. 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.280 In the next minute, she's using a fucking fire extinguisher 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.680 to beat the shit out of a police officer. This 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:37.960 isn't this didn't just happen, right, Oh my god, they 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:42.720 were swept up. I actually fucking heard that they were 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.439 swept up in the emotions of Trumpism. These aren't you know, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.000 these aren't real extremists. Well then tell me who the 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.320 fuck is a real extremist? Right? Do you just have 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.959 to be Muslim to be a real extremist? Do you 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.240 just have to be black to be a real extremist? Oh? 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.840 They were just you know, caught up in emotion. Betch 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.119 I get caught up in emotion all the time. It 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.000 doesn't ever occur to me to go storm the fucking capital, 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.680 build a guillotine and threatened to hang the president vice 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:18.840 president of the United States. You know, I talked about 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:23.800 this yesterday and I said that the burden of proof 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:30.240 for white people in this country is so just disgusting. Right, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.240 they get to be swept up, they get to be aggrieved, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.920 they get to be sad, they get to be you know, 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:44.000 caught up in an opioid crisis, not an epidemic of drugs. 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.760 They get to seek mental health for their racism. They 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:54.800 don't get persecuted for it. I'm just tired, right And 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.600 so when I look at the situation that we're in 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.399 and people keep telling me, oh, give by Iden and 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.560 Harris time time to do what, time to pat me 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.280 on the head and tell me that everything is going 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.480 to be okay, tell me that. Give me some fucking 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:15.240 quote about americanism and community and coming together without recognizing 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:20.639 the state of affairs that we are in. Well, thankfully, folks, thankfully. 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.600 There is an article that went up yesterday in The Guardian, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.800 and I'm going to read pieces of it because I 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.280 got to tell you that it is going to take, 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:35.560 apparently the international community to call out the fuckery and 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.480 the bullshit that is going on in America in order 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.520 to set off some types of alarms. But the article 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:47.360 in the Guardian entitled US could be under right wing 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:54.600 dictator by twenty thirty, Canadian professor warrens maybe it's going 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.320 to be the outside public and their fear of what 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:03.200 a ripple effect would be when, not if, but when 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:08.160 the United States falls. And so here is what Thomas 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:13.280 Homer Dixon, who is the founding director of the Cascade 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.240 Institute at Royal Rhodes University in British Columbia. This is 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.560 what he wrote, and I got to tell you that. 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.320 I mean, I was stunned, right, I was stunned. And 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.800 I actually I don't even want to read my notes 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.360 because my handwriting is sometimes quite atrocious, and so I'm 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.639 going to read from the piece, So bear with me. 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:42.800 This is what Thomas Homer Dixon says. We mustn't dismiss 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:48.639 these possibilities that American democracy can collapse because they seem 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:55.119 ludicrous or too horrible to imagine. In twenty fourteen, the 0:22:55.240 --> 0:23:00.280 suggestion that Donald Trump would become president would also have 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:06.040 struck nearly everyone as absurd. But today we live. We 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:10.960 live in a world where the absurd regularly becomes real 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:16.040 and the horrible commonplace. Let me read that again, because 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:22.119 this really hit me as I was reading it. Today 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:27.359 we live in a world where the absurd regularly becomes 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:33.080 real and the horrible commonplace. You see, this is what 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:38.840 happens when you don't check people, when you don't hold 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:42.959 them accountable for what they are doing. When you decide 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:50.360 that institutionalism is more important than what is coming at 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:56.000 you in real time, you see, you have the filibuster conversation, 0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.680 which we will get to that I'm finally right, where 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:04.520 the fuck was Schumer last year? Senator Schumer, who is 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.360 the leader in the Senate and my fucking senator, one 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:12.560 of them, who has been my senator for my entire life. 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:18.600 So that just tells you finally is deciding to bring 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.760 the filibuster a change of rules in order to get 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:27.240 voting rights done to the floor on January seventeenth. Well, 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:32.280 why is January seventeenth an important day? Oh, because it's 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:36.080 m l K Day. And so he wants the likes 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:40.600 of Cinema and the likes of Mansion who have already 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.800 come out and said they're going to vote no because 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:47.040 they want to be the ones whose names I guess 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:50.119 are embossed in the nail that goes into the coffin 0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:53.040 of our democracy. Because here is the thing, and I 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.160 said this over the weekend on Reverend Owl Show, if 0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:02.360 we do not pass John Lewis's Vote Rights Act, we 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:08.600 are fucking done. We talk about every election being consequential, 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.440 but the last election, if we want to be honest, 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:18.040 did not stop the coup. It merely slowed it down, 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:23.600 and without their being direct urgency coming out of this administration, 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:28.720 uttering the words that we are in danger, that white 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:35.399 supremacy is on the rise, that American white extremism is 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:40.520 now cemented in this country, and that we must do 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:46.600 everything in our power to reclaim and strengthen our democracy 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:52.440 moving forward. And if that means removing archaic, racist laws 0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.119 that should have never been in place in the first 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:59.280 fucking place, right from our books, then so be it, 0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.600 because at the end of the day, democracy falls right 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:07.359 through our apathy. That's the fucking kind of speech I 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.320 want to hear from the President and the Vice president 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:14.880 of the United States, not some feel good bullshit right 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.920 where we're gonna come together and I hope Republicans come 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:21.840 to the table. Fuck them, They're not coming to your table. 0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.560 And if they do, they are bringing arsenic and a 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:30.920 fucking torch. Do we not get that? Are the the 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.840 wokaf audience the only people that have been paying attention 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:41.800 over the last two years. This is what else Homer 0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:45.359 Dixon had to say, and it was very blunt, and 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:48.880 I said, you know, after watching which I will get into, 0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:57.119 don't look up the Netflix movie, which is terrifying, and 0:26:57.160 --> 0:27:01.399 if you have not seen it, if you like satire 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.800 in the way that I do this was so on 0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:05.840 the nose that I don't even know if you can 0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:11.560 call it satire, because it's just so evident where we 0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:18.720 are going, Like you had people screaming right on news stations, 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:22.359 in the street, on social media, the world is ending, 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:26.960 and instead of doing anything about it, people were debating 0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.639 whether or not a comet that was coming to wipe 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:36.280 out the planet could provide jobs if we could mine it. 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:40.280 And we think that that's absurd. Oh my god, so 0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:43.600 was weaponizing a fucking virus and calling it a democratic 0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.760 hoax when it's killed millions of people around the fucking globe. 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.119 What do you think that everybody around the world is 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:52.720 in on it right just to you know, stick it 0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:56.560
