Welcome to Democracy-ish.

0:12

I'm Danielle Moody. Not much, Adelie. And

0:15

folks, we are recording

0:18

a little bit earlier in the week,

0:21

this week. So while we're going to discuss

0:24

the Trump indictment at

0:26

the time of this recording, we do not know

0:28

the contents of

0:31

said indictment at this

0:33

time. But there is much to discuss

0:36

with regard to the nonstop coverage,

0:39

my dear Waj. You're

0:41

trying to be on vacation with your family, but

0:44

we had to pull

0:44

you in because

0:48

I had to shut off

0:51

my TV. I turn

0:54

on MSNBC, CNN,

0:56

and what I saw was Donald Trump's

0:59

plane sitting on a tarmac. And

1:01

then I had to check my phone and make sure it was

1:03

in 2016,

1:04

because this is the same coverage that they did

1:07

then that got Donald Trump into

1:09

the White House in the first place. It's

1:12

one of the situations where I believe

1:15

you and I have said

1:17

that, repeatedly on this show that

1:20

it is in the interest of

1:22

corporate institutions for Donald Trump

1:24

to succeed. And if history is

1:26

a guide at Danielle, the road towards

1:29

fascism has always been paved by

1:31

the elite, by the 1%,

1:34

by the wealthy, by all corporate institutions.

1:37

Because while fascism is happening, they

1:40

don't want to interrupt business. That

1:43

famous quote of Michael Jordan, or

1:45

it's alleged to Michael Jordan, hey, Republicans by sneakers

1:47

as well.

1:48

And we still are in the aftermath

1:50

of the Nashville shooting where

1:52

six people died. And a small

1:55

little tidbit that just kind of fell

1:57

through the cracks was that corporations still

2:00

unwilling to openly talk about

2:02

gun control because they're afraid of

2:05

losing Republican borders. However,

2:07

they're in a bind right now, Danielle, because guess

2:09

what? People are freaking dying every day, including

2:12

our kids and enough people, especially if you've

2:14

been paying attention in Nashville, those parents

2:16

are pissed. But

2:17

corporations, instead of doing the right thing,

2:20

are still looking after the bottom line. So why am I mentioning?

2:23

We have seen for the past seven years that Donald Trump

2:25

is not a normal president. We've We've seen him be

2:27

twice impeached. He's lost a popular

2:29

road twice. He incited a violent insurrection.

2:32

He recently said that he's fine terminating

2:34

the constitution. This is the top of my head, by

2:36

the way. He dined with a

2:39

white nationalist and he is

2:41

going to be the first president,

2:44

former

2:44

president, who is indicted

2:47

and faces criminal charges.

2:49

And by the way, Daniel,

2:51

the number one enemy of Donald Trump

2:53

has been the, quote unquote, media. them

2:56

the enemy of the people, which is a Stalinist

2:58

term, speaking about fascism.

3:00

His base hates people like

3:02

you and me, hates journalists, threatens

3:05

them. CNN literally had to evacuate

3:08

the building during the Trump administration. Yeah, remind

3:10

them. Yeah. And there was

3:13

a Cesar Sayoc, a guy who was in prison

3:15

because he had a hit list. The

3:17

hit list was all the enemies of Trump. He sent

3:19

functional pipe bombs to CNN. This

3:21

is top of the dome. So you think

3:23

about all this and you say, huh,

3:26

if there is a base of people out there who

3:29

hate us, who calls pedophiles,

3:31

who calls groomers, who literally are

3:33

inciting violence against them, who

3:35

are inspiring stochastic terrorism,

3:37

no matter what we do, no matter how much we bend

3:39

the knee, no matter how much affirmative action we have

3:41

and we hire a Mick Mulvaney or a John

3:43

Kasich

3:44

or a friggin' Alison Farah

3:46

who's in The View, maybe just maybe

3:50

We shouldn't placate them. Maybe we should be

3:52

on the right side of history. Maybe we should, you

3:54

know, be for the majority. Maybe we should talk

3:56

about the truth.

3:57

with all of this CBS

3:58

The

4:01

vaunted jewel of CBS News 60 Minutes

4:04

on Sunday, Danielle, decided

4:06

to give a fawning, sit-down, exclusive

4:08

interview to who? To

4:11

Marjorie Taylor fucking

4:13

Green. And I got to tell you,

4:15

folks, that when... Because

4:18

my parents are like... This is kind of like a family thing.

4:21

Whenever I'm home on Long

4:23

Island, I always end up watching 60 Minutes

4:26

with my parents parents because that is like

4:28

their Sunday night ritual.

4:30

My mother texts me and was

4:34

just like, I had to turn

4:36

off CBS, had to turn off 60 Minutes.

4:41

I said, you know, why?

4:43

And she's like, Danielle,

4:46

for the life of me, I could

4:48

not believe that 60

4:50

Minutes of all places

4:52

would sit down with Marjorie Taylor Greene

4:55

of all the members that

4:58

you could sit down with. And so I

5:00

just want folks to know that

5:02

according to Showbiz 411,

5:06

which does the ratings, that does

5:08

the ratings for television shows, 60

5:13

Minutes

5:14

with Marjorie Taylor Greene was down

5:16

33% in viewership from the Sunday prior.

5:22

And if that is not, because

5:24

again, we all know, like you said,

5:26

this is a business,

5:28

right? Journalism isn't about the fourth

5:30

estate. It isn't about telling the truth. It

5:32

isn't about connecting the dots

5:35

for the American people. And it isn't about alerting

5:37

them to facts. No, it is a business

5:39

so that they can pay their CEO and

5:41

their shareholders. And so it is this

5:43

very incestuous

5:46

revolving door that we have seen

5:48

with all the names that you bring up. So let

5:51

this be a message

5:53

to 60 Minutes, to CBS, and

5:55

to the other networks that when you

5:57

Bring on known white national.

6:00

anti-semites, racist,

6:02

and transphobes, people

6:04

are going to turn the channel. But

6:07

guess what? Leslie Stahl called

6:09

her, quote, smart and

6:11

fearless.

6:13

And she ended the segment by pondering

6:15

the question of whether or not this freak

6:17

extremist Margit Taylor V would, quote,

6:19

expand her brash

6:22

MTG brand

6:24

beyond the right wing populist base.

6:26

smart, fearless,

6:27

in your face, rash,

6:30

and MTG literally sat

6:32

there and called the Democrats groomers

6:34

and pedophiles. And pedophiles. And you

6:37

know what Leslie Stahl said?

6:39

Wow. She said, wow.

6:42

Wow. Like you would say, like a preschool

6:45

teacher would say to a child

6:47

who hit another kid on the head, oh wow,

6:50

can't you be nicer?

6:51

No, but the preschool kid

6:54

retaliated, just like, let me throw in

6:56

some sports analogies. Just yesterday, you guys

6:58

all saw the women's championship,

7:00

right? Oh, we will talk about that too. Right,

7:02

like it's perfectly fine for Gayle

7:04

McLeod to sit there and do that, which

7:06

is, it's sports, it's fine. She does

7:08

it, oh, she's a tough competitor. The

7:11

LSU athlete was named, I forget, African-American

7:14

woman. Angel Reis. Angel Reis,

7:16

right?

7:17

Who was the champion, by the way, because LSU beat Iowa,

7:20

does the same thing in response. How

7:23

dares

7:24

unsportsmanlike conduct. So

7:26

it's all about- Classless ghetto. Ghetto,

7:28

classless. I mean, if you want to talk

7:30

about the stereotypes

7:33

and Keith Olbermann, let me just

7:35

say, Keith Olbermann along with

7:37

David Axelrod, right? So

7:40

the good white liberals,

7:44

the good white allies that Martin

7:46

Luther King warned us about got

7:48

on Twitter

7:49

to call Angel

7:52

Reese out, who, by the way,

7:55

let me just tell you folks, I don't follow sports

7:57

like this at all, but I follow culture

7:59

and

8:00

And when my timeline becomes

8:03

filled with all

8:05

of this like both sidedness,

8:08

and I saw in the gesture that Waj

8:10

is talking about, which you all have all seen now, the John

8:13

Cena, you can't see me.

8:14

You can't see me. You can't

8:17

see me gesture that both

8:19

women did, but when one does

8:21

it, and Caitlin did it first,

8:23

And when one white

8:26

woman does it, she was like,

8:29

oh, she's got swag. She's

8:32

a competitor, blah, blah, blah, blah, literally.

8:34

See, according to folks, ESPN

8:37

had done a whole fucking segment

8:40

about how much swag

8:42

she has and like she's the future

8:44

of women's basketball. This was for

8:47

the white woman.

8:48

Angel Reese does it, a black

8:50

woman who they have apparently been trash

8:53

talking all year. Well, I didn't know that. Right?

8:55

And does the same

8:57

exact thing and the

8:59

hate and racism. And I said, Keith

9:02

Olbermann, David Axelrod,

9:04

let me tell you something. You are the white

9:06

liberal

9:07

that

9:08

has always stood in the

9:10

place of progress because you want

9:13

to look at this and be like, oh, yeah,

9:16

she's classless. What an effing

9:18

idiot. Oh, and

9:21

our producer, Q, just texted and said,

9:24

Angel Rees, most outstanding

9:26

player of the tournament, broke

9:29

the D1 record for double doubles.

9:32

So she's not to be fucked

9:34

with,

9:35

right? And I just want to say that

9:37

also the

9:38

issue here isn't just about racism

9:41

and how people showed their ass and

9:43

how white liberals will continue to show their ass

9:46

and white people in general, but

9:49

the fact is that women

9:51

in sports have never been able to show

9:54

out in the same way that men are. players

9:57

talk shit, right? Like

10:00

Good athletes talk shit.

10:02

Bad athletes talk shit. Bad athletes

10:05

talk shit. And so for this young black

10:07

woman to be the boss that she is,

10:09

and I was proud of the response that she gave

10:12

in her interview and said, I don't really

10:14

care.

10:15

Like y'all want to call me everything. I'm

10:17

not here for you. I'm representing the

10:19

girls that look like me,

10:21

right? That talk like me.

10:25

And for those who don't follow basketball, again, it's

10:28

the fantastic NCAA

10:31

Women's Championship. The fact that people are even watching

10:33

is a huge progress, right? It's the most

10:36

competitive game. Kaitlyn Clark's awesome.

10:38

She talks massive smack. Everyone does, even Steph

10:40

Curry does.

10:41

And she did the move to Angel Reese

10:43

first. And then after Angel Reese was like

10:45

the final minute, like you could tell us he was winning.

10:48

She says, hey, boom, John Cena in your

10:50

face. And then she points to her ringer, which

10:52

is what happens when you're, she's about to

10:54

win chip

10:55

and that was it. And the reason I'm bringing

10:57

this up

10:58

is you see the double standard. Who

11:00

gets to be angry? Who gets

11:02

to talk back? Who

11:03

gets to be loud, right?

11:06

And who gets rewarded

11:08

for alleged bad behavior? Who's

11:10

bad behavior? And this was not bad behavior. This

11:12

was just math. This was regular smack talking. Who

11:16

can speak from the hip? Who can be

11:18

politically incorrect? Incorrect.

11:20

Who can be mad as hell and not get

11:22

taken anymore? You see where I'm with this,

11:25

Donald Trump. Yeah, come on. Come on. White Pete

11:27

Tucker calls Danielle,

11:30

and I'm saying this as an observer, and

11:32

also her co-host and friend, you know, we've been on many

11:35

panels. Danielle

11:35

is always articulate, very informed.

11:38

Her passion comes not from insanity

11:41

or irrationality. It's because

11:44

she's aware of the injustices

11:47

that are happening, and she vocalized it.

11:49

So Danielle, as a black woman, gets called

11:51

oftentimes in the comment section, this angry Black.

11:54

But Tucker Carlson gets

11:56

a multi-million dollar show to

11:58

platform rage.

12:00

and fake victimhood, even though he's

12:02

a son of frigging frozen food empire,

12:04

grew up lily white, went

12:06

to like, he has the softest hands on earth,

12:09

went to like, you know, literally the most privileged

12:11

institution, lives in one of the most expensive

12:14

neighborhoods in DC. But this guy who's literally

12:16

had no hardship,

12:17

he is allowed like Donald Trump to

12:19

be filled with rage. And instead of calling

12:21

these people angry and reactionary

12:24

and wild and hooligans and

12:26

beasts, they're seen as keeping

12:28

it real,

12:29

economic anxiety, just

12:32

smart and fearless, in your face,

12:35

bold opinions like Marjorie Taylor V.

12:37

Now imagine, Danielle,

12:39

and this in cell will never happen because we're sober,

12:41

sane, rational adults.

12:42

If you and I echoed

12:44

the exact content of an MTG,

12:48

accusing Hillary Clinton of molesting children,

12:50

accusing Jewish space lasers of

12:52

causing wildfires, of going to a friggin

12:54

white nationalist and an

12:57

anti-Semite. Like, let's just say we went to a

12:59

Lewis Farahan meeting and he will say the most anti-Semitic

13:01

stuff possible. Like, hey, hey, hey,

13:03

he

13:03

speaks to a base, you know, and

13:05

we're not going to apologize.

13:07

Suppose you and I said

13:09

if black and brown people were to do

13:11

the generous insurrection, if you and

13:13

I were leading it and we were armed, we would win,

13:16

which is what Marjorie Taylor Greene said just

13:18

a few months ago at the New York

13:20

Young Republicans Gala.

13:22

And what would happen to us? what

13:25

happened to us? I'm pretty sure

13:27

we would probably know what the inside

13:29

of Guantanamo looks like. I'm

13:31

pretty sure that

13:34

some federal charges would have

13:36

been brought against us that aside

13:38

from most likely you being

13:41

labeled a terrorist. Thank you. And

13:44

then me, you're welcome, and

13:46

then me being labeled

13:48

some crazy wide-eyed

13:51

black Antifa a woman.

13:54

You know, that's what would happen. It's just like,

13:56

so you, you know, you see folks as

13:58

we were talking about.

14:01

the women's college basketball tournament.

14:03

And you see how you can

14:06

weave the connections between

14:08

January 6th and the treatment

14:11

of those, oh, they were just tourists.

14:13

That's right. Right? That's what the Republican party said. They

14:15

were just armed

14:17

and angry tourists between,

14:20

oh, they're not racist. It's just economic

14:22

anxiety. Right? And

14:24

you see this play out everywhere. From

14:27

sports to politics to music

14:30

to everywhere. There isn't anything

14:32

that

14:33

black indigenous people of color, BIPOC

14:36

people

14:37

can do in this country

14:40

other than be of service

14:43

to white people, right? Mind

14:45

our business, keep our head down. Yes

14:47

and no ma'am. It doesn't even matter

14:50

if you do that. You

14:51

still get shot. Because you can

14:54

still get shot, right? you

14:56

can still get labeled as

14:58

a hooligan. And

15:01

so it is amazing to

15:03

me that the white folks

15:05

right now that

15:08

are being called out

15:10

for their reaction to this,

15:12

I mean, the split screen pictures, the

15:15

split screen videos

15:17

are just so wild because there's nothing

15:19

to stand on.

15:20

There's nothing that they can say

15:23

that be like, oh, well, you know,

15:25

when she did it, no, no, no, it's

15:27

two days apart. Yeah.

15:29

Two days apart. Tit for tat. Literally

15:32

tit for tat. But

15:33

the reaction, one didn't

15:35

receive one. And if it did, it was praise. And

15:38

then the other receives everything

15:40

from classless to effing idiot

15:43

to unsportsmanlike, all of these

15:45

things. Really? You're the same people

15:47

that jump up and down, that

15:49

jumped up and down, jump up and down for LeBron

15:51

James. You're the same people that jumped up and

15:53

down for Jordan and the late

15:55

Kobe Bryant. Really?

15:57

Well,

15:57

no, what do they tell LeBron, Laurie?

16:00

Grimps said, shut up and dribble.

16:01

And yet Tim Tebow

16:03

gets to be a martyr

16:05

and like kneel and pray. Like

16:08

any other athlete who's white can

16:10

say whatever they want to say and be an anti-vaxxer,

16:12

anti-science or hard right,

16:15

religious right member who's against abortion.

16:17

And then they become a hero and they're oppressed. But

16:19

LeBron James, a man

16:21

who indisputably,

16:24

arguably the greatest athlete that we've seen in our generation,

16:27

one of the greatest athletes, and there's Serena, but

16:29

LeBron James, like both, top five, top

16:31

three,

16:32

and a man who has been perfect

16:34

from

16:34

high school to now, because the eyes have

16:36

been on him since high school, and a man who's given

16:38

back his wealth because his country is so obscene

16:41

that it punishes the children. So he's like, Ef and I'll

16:43

just use $50

16:44

million of my own money to educate children.

16:47

And I had never gotten any

16:49

scandal, never gone to any jail, made

16:52

the decision to just, You know, he used his platform to

16:55

speak up, and Laura Ingraham said, why don't you shut

16:57

up and dribble? So that's sports.

16:59

All right. Now

17:00

you look at TV.

17:02

Look at Tucker Carlson, who literally

17:04

is gaslighting America. You breathe

17:06

these four minutes of footage to

17:08

make the violent insurrection seem like it

17:10

was peaceful. Ignored all the thousands

17:13

of other hours.

17:14

And he, on his daily show,

17:16

which is the highest rated show on Fox and on Table

17:18

News, literally parrots

17:20

white nationalists talking. Tiffany Cross.

17:23

Yes. Rolled and outspoken.

17:26

Mentions like, you know, she says something

17:28

I wouldn't have said, but whatever. Says like, submit a

17:30

comment about Florida,

17:31

which I'm forgetting. It should, that

17:34

Florida should be castrated from

17:36

the United States. Yeah, harmless.

17:39

It was something to that point, and I was like,

17:42

I love it. I mean, yeah, I mean, if you're

17:44

a host of a TV show, probably dope, but eh,

17:46

compared to what everyone else is saying, is it that bad?

17:48

Not really.

17:49

Brings the receipts, pisses

17:51

off Tucker Carlson, What happens at MSNBC

17:53

folks? MSNBC? Fired.

17:56

By Tiffany Cross, Megan Kelly. Okay,

17:59

Megyn Kelly who... I was obsessed with white

18:01

Santa Claus. All right, so you probably

18:03

just Google that. Super racist.

18:06

It's like the alpha current. Megyn Kelly is

18:08

the alpha current who was the voice

18:10

and face of Fox, but this decides,

18:12

you know what? I think Trump is a step

18:14

too far.

18:15

Gets rewarded by MSNBC

18:18

at that time, and I think still to this day,

18:20

the biggest contract ever, Danielle.

18:22

$69 million. Now, people want this. I'm

18:25

going to connect the dots for you.

18:27

Who gets removed from MSNBC

18:30

to make space for

18:32

the most racist Karen on Earth

18:34

who gets paid $69 million?

18:37

Tamron Hall and Al

18:39

Roker, right, who had the fourth

18:42

hour on The Today Show, were

18:44

removed with better ratings,

18:47

liked more,

18:48

were removed to make room for Megyn

18:50

Kelly, whose show I I believe

18:53

did not last a year. But guess

18:55

who walked with the $69 million

18:58

in our contract?

18:58

Megan Kelly and

19:01

Tamara Hall, outs back. Al

19:03

Roker is a beloved figure. That, you

19:05

know, Tiffany, poor Tiffany is just trying to make her

19:08

come back and she got smeared

19:09

with some smear

19:11

cam head that most likely came out of Amazon, we see. And

19:14

then who gets rewarded for

19:15

being wrong about everything? We talked about this

19:18

recently. John Kasich. Kasich! Not

19:20

Ellie Mistall, who was there friggin' every day

19:22

being brilliant, not Kurt Bardella,

19:25

not you. Who do they find money

19:27

for, John Case? So bringing it all full circle,

19:30

and this is, I'm glad we did, because oftentimes

19:32

people think, oh, me and Danielle sit there and we script

19:35

it out. We don't. No.

19:38

It's all connected, and when people say, oh,

19:40

you darkies always whining and complaining about racism

19:42

and white supremacy. We live in a post-Obama

19:45

universe. Nothing's racist. It's all about racism. It's

19:47

always been about racism. Everything. the

19:49

double standards. You see the Marjorie

19:51

Taylor Greene interview

19:53

two days before Donald Trump, Trump,

19:55

the white nationalist

19:57

president who has primed openly

20:00

openly he's prime. For five decades.

20:02

Yeah, like Daniel said, we'll

20:05

find out what's in the sealed indictment,

20:07

but most likely,

20:08

I believe it has something to do

20:10

with the hush money payments

20:13

that

20:13

he arranged through Michael Cohen, who is his fixer,

20:15

to pay off Stormy Daniels right

20:17

before the election. And

20:19

he used, of course, co-mingled funds

20:21

because he's corrupt as F. Michael

20:23

Cohen, The guy who did it for

20:26

individual one and Michael Cohen said

20:28

individual one is Donald Trump.

20:30

Michael Cohen got indicted. He got

20:33

convicted. He got sentenced. Donald

20:35

Trump, nothing. April

20:38

is Alcohol Responsibility Month. Empower

20:41

kids to say yes to a healthy lifestyle

20:43

and no to underage drinking. A message

20:45

from, it's important to have

20:48

conversations with your kids that emphasize

20:50

healthy living and saying no to underage

20:52

drinking.

20:55

Oh, guess who didn't pardon

20:57

him? Guess who didn't erase his record? Guess

21:00

who didn't come to his aid, to

21:02

Michael Cohen's aid? Donald Trump,

21:04

right? And I just want also,

21:07

for folks to just pick up on this too, we

21:10

just learned over the weekend

21:13

through an interview that Cy Vance did,

21:15

right? The former

21:18

Manhattan District Attorney White man also had

21:20

white man who also had the goods on

21:22

Donald Trump and was asked

21:25

by Chuck Todd.

21:27

Well, if you had all the same,

21:30

you know, information

21:32

that Alvin Bragg has, why didn't

21:34

you bring the case? And what did we

21:36

find out from Cy Vance?

21:38

Cy Vance said,

21:40

oh, because the Department of Justice

21:43

under Bill Barr told

21:45

him to stand down. Bragg

21:47

has, why didn't you bring the case? And

21:50

what did we find out from Cy

21:52

Vance? Cy Vance said,

21:55

oh, because of the Department of Justice

21:57

under Bill Barr.

22:00

Told him to stand down.

22:01

That's right. Told

22:03

him to stand down. And he said, yes,

22:06

Massa, sure, no problem. Yep.

22:09

Because I, your kids

22:11

and our kids probably go to the same institutions

22:14

and you're white and I'm white and I don't want to get the

22:16

heat. And so Alvin Bragg, a black

22:18

man, Fannie Willis, a black

22:21

woman, followed the facts and-

22:23

Tish James, another black woman.

22:26

That's right. And it was a grand jury

22:28

of his peers, folks, and he still

22:30

hasn't been convicted.

22:33

And because

22:34

it's Donald Trump and because of Republicans

22:36

and because the people who finally flexed

22:38

and followed the law are black folks, these people

22:40

now have death threats.

22:42

And now they're saying it's biased.

22:45

Look at these Soros-backed anti-Semitic

22:47

comment, black

22:49

criminals, racist comment to attack

22:51

Alvin Brek, same thing they're saying in Spanish, same thing

22:53

they're saying because of the teacher But at the same

22:55

time, to step back,

22:57

all the white boys and girls protected

22:59

their own. And we saw

23:02

what happened with the Central Park Five, we're now the Exonerated

23:04

Five, is that when it's a young black folks accused

23:07

of a crime, kill them, death penalty. Who's

23:09

the one who sang that bell? Donald

23:11

Trump. Donald Trump.

23:13

But with Trump and the accountability, and then

23:15

you're seeing folks like Eli Lake and Matt Tybee

23:18

and others being like, oh my God,

23:20

what will happen if we

23:22

hold them accountable? Don't MAGA

23:25

get upset? And in the future, what

23:27

will happen when Republicans get in power? You

23:30

expect Republicans to be civil? I'm like, when the hell are Republicans

23:33

ever civil?

23:34

Come on. I mean, you know, Ken Starr openly

23:36

said, no one's above the law.

23:39

He spent millions going after Bill Clinton.

23:41

Kevin McCarthy openly admitted in 2015 that

23:43

the only reason they did Benghazi and email gate was

23:46

to harm Hillary Clinton, and it

23:48

worked. And so this is why

23:50

I called, and I said this before,

23:52

it's terrorism actually works and America,

23:54

Daniel, especially white

23:56

terrorism. It works. Prove

23:59

me that I'm wrong. insurrection works,

24:01

threatening media works,

24:04

they give you fawning interviews, threatening

24:06

media works, you get affirmative action for conservatives,

24:09

so there's

24:09

like this pool of money that somehow

24:11

just exists forever for John Kasich

24:14

and Mick Mulvaney. Law enforcement, the

24:16

number one domestic terror threat in America is white supremacist

24:18

terror, they do nothing.

24:19

Bad behavior and terrorism

24:22

if you're white works, prove it, prove me

24:24

wrong. I wish that I could.

24:26

Maybe nonsensical. No, I wish

24:28

that I could because you have connected

24:30

those dots before. And I just wanna also

24:33

lift up that is not being

24:35

covered in the mainstream media and hopefully by

24:39

the end of the week it will be. As

24:41

of this recording folks, there was

24:44

a massive, massive

24:46

protest by young people

24:49

in Tennessee walking out,

24:51

right? That was organized by March

24:54

for Our Lives against

24:57

the Tennessee

24:59

state legislature that doesn't

25:01

give a fuck about kids, right? Not

25:03

being covered by mainstream news. Do you know

25:05

what else the Tennessee legislature is doing

25:08

right now? They are holding a vote

25:10

to kick out

25:13

three Democrats. They've already

25:15

shut off their badges. They

25:18

are voting to expel

25:20

them from the

25:22

state House of Representatives. Ask me

25:24

why, Watch. Why?

25:26

Because they decided to march with protesters

25:29

against

25:30

children being murdered in their

25:32

classrooms.

25:34

And so the Republican Party

25:37

in Tennessee is deciding

25:39

that standing with your constituents

25:42

against young children being

25:44

murdered in their classrooms by AR-15s,

25:47

they're

25:48

not going to stand for that.

25:50

So they're going to expel these three

25:52

members who each, I believe

25:54

represent roughly 80,000 constituents. Right.

25:59

they're going.

26:00

to, they're voting to expel them.

26:02

They've already been removed from their committee

26:04

assignments for doing what?

26:07

Advocating gun reform

26:10

after, not even a week

26:13

after three children are

26:15

murdered in their classrooms.

26:17

And this is why Danielle, like, you know,

26:19

and again, we are recording this a

26:21

day before Donald Trump was expected to

26:23

turn himself in. He's not going to spend a night in jail,

26:25

but you know, he's going to get arraigned

26:27

and he's being going to be indicted. This

26:31

is why accountability is so important.

26:33

Because in the absence of any accountability,

26:36

what we are dealing with, and I think just top

26:38

of the dome for the past 25 minutes,

26:40

you

26:40

and I have come up with numerous examples,

26:43

is we're dealing across the board

26:45

with the death rattle of white supremacy. We're

26:47

dealing with a white race

26:49

that is willing to burn down this entire

26:51

country to stay in power. We're

26:52

dealing with terrorism, threats, belligerents

26:55

and violence. And without any accountability,

26:58

we're going to see a GOP, like we said before

27:00

on our show, that is increasingly

27:03

going to become a more weaponized and radicalized

27:05

authoritarian force that does not care

27:07

about democracy.

27:09

And next week when we return,

27:11

hopefully we have some good news from Wisconsin

27:14

then. But if you don't

27:16

believe us after everything we've said, look

27:18

at what's happening in Wisconsin. I mean, that's going to be

27:21

for next week's show where we'll touch upon it. Wisconsin

27:23

right now,

27:24

that state Supreme Court, Democrats actually

27:27

win.

27:27

We might after 12 years

27:30

finally see some hope for democracy,

27:32

some hope for a representative government

27:35

and some hope for women's rights. That's what's

27:37

happening, folks, in Wisconsin.

27:40

Yeah, you know, you are right. And

27:43

I said it back in 2016 on

27:45

Canadian television that Donald

27:48

Trump's election

27:49

is white supremacy's last stand. I

27:52

did not say how long that stand

27:54

was going to be, because

27:56

I think it was you watched that made the joke

27:58

that, you know, after.

28:00

nine months of the 100 year war, somebody said,

28:02

I hope this is gonna be over soon. And

28:05

it was a 100 year war. So

28:09

the reality here folks is that all of this

28:11

is connected.

28:12

Right? You come here each week because

28:15

Wash and I are not afraid to connect the dots

28:17

and to tell the truth about

28:20

what is happening here. But for those people who

28:22

say everything isn't about race, everything,

28:25

everything in this country is

28:28

about race. It is about racism,

28:31

right? And advocating

28:34

and centering whiteness at

28:36

the cost of every,

28:38

everybody else. And we'll continue

28:40

to elevate that and air that out until

28:44

it's done, until

28:45

it's done. You and I should be wrong about

28:47

everything. And if we're wrong about everything

28:50

and we become conservative, you and I can get really,

28:52

really lucrative contracts on television.
