1 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woka F Daily with 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: me your girl, Danielle Moody, recording live from the Brooklyn Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: you know it has become very clear to me and 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to discuss this on this upcoming week's Woke Wednesday. 5 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: But we need to just start referring to the governors 6 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: in these red states as the delta plus variant ticks up, 7 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: as the lambda variant becomes another focal point, as executioners. 8 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what else you can refer to as 9 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: a group of people with the power to mandate public 10 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: health and safety as a way not to kill their 11 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: constituents and then deciding to do the total and complete opposite. 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: So what has happened, and this is according to the 13 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: Tallahassee Democrat, is this quote. Large school districts in both 14 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas are defying their governor's ban on mask 15 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: mandates for students amid a surging number of COVID nineteen cases. 16 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: In Tallahassee, Leon County Schools has become the latest Florida 17 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: district to ignore Governor Ron Descantis's ban by requiring all 18 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: elementary school and middle school students to wear a mask 19 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: for the start of the school year. This mask not 20 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: only protects the person wearing the mask, it protects the 21 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: person beside them, and in front of them, and behind them, 22 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: said Superintendent Rocky Hannah. Dallas ISD announced Monday that it 23 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: will also require both students and teachers to don face coverings, 24 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and Houston School District is reportedly considering doing the same. Basically, 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: according to this article, and what we know, because we've 26 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: been covering on woke a f for quite some time, 27 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,639 Speaker 1: is that Florida has become some type of fucking COVID 28 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: nineteen Petrie dish. You know, I reported on the fact 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: that basically, you know, we're at a place where any 30 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: new mutations are basically coming out of these two super 31 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: hot zones in the country, Texas and fucking Florida. And 32 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: why are they hot zones because their governors don't give 33 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: a fuck. Right since the beginning, Ron de Satan has 34 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: been talking about yes, and I called him Ron de Satan. 35 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: That was not a slip. That is what the fuck 36 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: I will refer to him as of going forward is 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: that as soon as you know, we saw who was 38 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: dying initially, right, the essential workers, black and brown people, 39 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: low income people, people with pre existing conditions. The Republican 40 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: governors said, open up the country, open up the state. Right. 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: De Satan didn't want to lose not nar a dollar, 42 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: and so he is saying, yeah, come here, vacationers, come here, 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: catch the virus, get back on your fucking flight bus, 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: and then go back to your community and spread it 45 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: every where. What we know coming out of different parts 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: of the world are that children are in fact contracting 47 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and they are indeed dying of it. So yes, 48 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: we understood that back last year when we were still 49 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: new to this gathering new information that we said, oh, 50 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: it's unlikely that kids will die, blah blah blah. But 51 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you're a fucking parent or a caregiver, 52 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: are you trying to roll the dice on whether or 53 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: not you're sending your kid into a safe environment, because 54 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: instead of following CDC guidelines, your governor is mandating that 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: we follow politics. Right. And you know, again, I say this, 56 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: and I said it over the weekend on Reverend I'll 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: show on MSNBC. You know, for folks who continually talk 58 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: about the need for small government, right, the people can 59 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: govern themselves. Government doesn't need to be in your business. 60 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: I find it comical comical that these governors Abbott and 61 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: de Satan are there in their states overruling their school boards, 62 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: overruling their city councils, and essentially big footing any desire 63 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: and initiative to try and keep the public safe, namely 64 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: our fucking children. These are the same people that turn 65 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: around and use children as a pawn as to why 66 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: you know we need to cut back on crime, or 67 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: why you know we're pro life and all of these things. 68 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: And I've never seen a party that is actually pro 69 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: pandemic and pro death, like when we say that the 70 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Republican Party has jumped the shark. How do you go 71 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: from small government and pro life to literally advocating for death. 72 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: I have no idea, but that's exactly where we are. 73 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: But what else could we think from a group that 74 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: after kindergarteners and first graders are a gunned down in 75 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: their classrooms and they take no action on gun control 76 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: because of the NRA right. So we know that Republicans 77 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: stands on kids and what about the children? They can't 78 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: see gay marriage because what about the children? We shouldn't 79 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: allow children to be able to use whatever bathroom they 80 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: identify with. Because what about the children? Right? Children are upawn, right, 81 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: they are purposeful. In order to continue to push down 82 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: the truth, the reality, we say, what about the children? Well, 83 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm asking now, as a person without kids, what about 84 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: the kids? What is going to happen mid October? Which 85 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: is what I keep saying, and what our good friend, 86 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: doctor Jonathan Metzil keeps saying, keep an eye on mid 87 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: October because after a few weeks of kids being back 88 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: in schools and in these places where they are negating 89 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: the mask mandate, where you're seeing these rabid, fucking froth 90 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: and at the mouth parents talking about unmasked my children, 91 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: it's my liberty to kill them. Right. What we are 92 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: going to see with this current fourth wave is an 93 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: enormous uptick in COVID cases and in COVID deaths. That's 94 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. There is nothing to show us 95 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: that something else to the contrary will take place, and 96 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: then we are going to go into the winter months 97 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: where people will go back to being inside. And so 98 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. I keep thinking to myself, what the 99 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: fuck is the endgame for Republicans here. What is their goal? 100 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: And you know, in all honesty, the goal is very simple. 101 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: It's not anything you know, deeply thought about and research 102 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: or whatever. No, the game is to sow as much 103 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: fucking chaos right as possible, obstruct government, obstruct the current 104 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: administration so much so you can then point to the 105 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: continue rampage of the pandemic and the failed intervention of 106 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: this administration, and then swoop in with your next tyrant 107 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: in line to take the throne from Donald Trump, if 108 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: it is not Trump himself. That's the goal, that's it. 109 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: They create disorder, They create destruction in order to swoop 110 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: in with their catchphrase of law and order. All of this, folks, 111 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of it, it was really 112 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: about owning the libs. Owning the Libs to the point 113 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: where we're willing to sacrifice our nation's children just so 114 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: that you can feel like some fucking tough guy. It 115 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: is bizarre land as it pertains to COVID. And I'm 116 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: telling you you know, I will, like I said, talk 117 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: about this every single day, and I know that people 118 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: are sick of it. I know that there is exhaustion. 119 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. These mutations are not 120 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: a fucking joke. And all I'm waiting for is for 121 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: the news report, the breaking news to come out and say, oh, well, 122 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: we are at whatever part of the Greek alphabet now, 123 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: and this mutation you can catch by just looking at somebody, 124 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: and it can break through every single one of the 125 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: vaccines that have been FDA approved, because that's where we're headed. 126 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: This is what viruses do. So by these people actively 127 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to keep more virus in our atmosphere, they are 128 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: just waiting, rolling the dice on all of our futures 129 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: because there will be a mutation that will be breaking 130 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: through our vaccine efforts. And then what right are we 131 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: going to be having this continued conversation in twenty twenty two, 132 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and until the end of fucking days. 133 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: I am just so outdone at the fact that we 134 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: don't have class action lawsuits against these governors for murder, 135 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: not even attempted murder, because if you look, I mean you, 136 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: all you would have to do. In my humble opinion, 137 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and again you all know that I'm not an attorney, 138 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: but in my humble educated opinion is, look at what 139 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the CDC has recommended, what these governors are enforcing when 140 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: we would get new information their reaction to them, and 141 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: then track that with the number of COVID cases and 142 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: the number of people that are dying in their state. 143 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: There's your class action, right. It is just, you know, 144 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: I cannot believe that we are in this place. And 145 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: what frustrates me to death They said, yes, we are 146 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: getting we are on the precipice of signing of getting 147 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: this largest infrastructure deal done, and everybody wants to tote 148 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: it as bipartisan forgetting that we have no two party system, right, Like, 149 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I almost don't want these things to get done, not 150 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: because we don't need to have telecom broadband and build 151 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: back our roads and bridges, but because then we are 152 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: legitimizing this current iteration of the Republican Party in thinking 153 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: that we can work with them and knowing that in 154 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: every other facet right now, that they are working to 155 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: undermine our democracy. So it's like, oh, you can hold 156 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: up this infrastructure bill and I'm like okay. And they're 157 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: thwarting democracy every which way, and we know that they're 158 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: inciting violence, and they're connected with rioters, and they're connected 159 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: with domestic terrorists and all of these things. But oh, 160 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: they did this one thing, and that will be the 161 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: conversation point, right, This will be what mansion and cinema 162 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: use as to why we can't get rid of the filibusters. See, 163 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: we can get this one thing done. And really, if 164 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: you ask progressives, right, and I'm listening to some of 165 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: the more progressive members of Congress that are saying, you know, 166 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: this is kind of like the same old, same old, 167 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: just adding more money, but we're not addressing any of 168 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: the current problems that we are facing. One of the 169 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: current problems on top of the fact that we are 170 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: living in a global health pandemic at the height, not 171 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: in between, We're just now just living with a global 172 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: health pandemic indefinitely. Thank you Republicans, Thank you de Satan, 173 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: thank you Abbott. Right, but here's the other piece of 174 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: where we're going. So right now, as we are battling 175 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: this virus, the Dixie Fire in California, which has been 176 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: raging for weeks, has now been anointed as the second 177 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: largest fire in history. What did I tell you guys 178 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: the other day about these headlines that continue to want 179 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: to say one in a million chances of this happening, 180 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: but it happened again. On Friday. Oh we are in 181 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: historic times. Oh this is historic heat. Oh we are 182 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: breaking records. Why don't we just say what exactly it 183 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: is that is happening. Climate change is now completely and 184 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: totally out of our control. We had an opportunity ten, fifteen, 185 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: twenty years ago when scientists warned us then of the 186 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: steps that were needed to be taken in order to 187 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: mitigate the impact of climate change. So now here the 188 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: fuck we are right where we have historic fires raging 189 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: every fire season, historic breaking hurricanes that are happening every 190 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: single fucking season, tornadoes that pop up in areas that 191 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: have never had tornadoes before, parts of the world that 192 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: are experiencing excessive heat that they have never experienced before. 193 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, I was on the Instagram account earth Focus, 194 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: and if you don't follow it, you should if you like, 195 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, the likes of National Geographic and pictures of 196 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, different geographical areas and different foliage and all 197 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,479 Speaker 1: of these things, different terrain. It's a wonderful site to follow. Nonetheless, 198 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: I was on there over the weekend and I came 199 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: across this harrowing set of photos and it is of Greece, right, 200 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: and what is terrible about these photos. And I don't 201 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: know if you all have had the wonderful pleasure of 202 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: visiting Greece. I did many moons ago, a couple of 203 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: years ago, not many moons ago, just a couple of years. 204 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful country. Beautiful, has its own economic depression, 205 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: has its own fucked up politics, but the country itself 206 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: is beautiful, as are the people that are there. So 207 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: I come across this photo and if you go back, 208 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: I will tell you all. It was a couple of 209 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: days ago on earth Focuses Instagram, and it shows a 210 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: picture of beautiful area, picturesque town of Lemony in Evia, 211 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: in Greece, and you see in the forefront the cities 212 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: with buildings lights on, and in the back raging fires 213 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: that have turned the entirety of the sky what we 214 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: saw last summer orange. So I'm looking through these pictures 215 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: and they are talking about mass evacuations and that in Greece, 216 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: right in this area, that some of the temperatures have 217 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: soared to forty seven degrees celsius, which is one hundred 218 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: and sixteen hundred and seventeen degrees fahrenheit. Right, So I 219 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: post a comment under the page saying, oh my god, 220 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, I really wish that people, our politicians, our 221 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: world politicians would fucking do something about climate change and 222 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: stop pretending it doesn't exist and actually take significant action. 223 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Because when you're looking at areas of the world that 224 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: are experiencing these incredible storms, these incredible fires that we 225 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: have never seen before, the incredible heat that we have 226 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: never seen before, we need to start taking action. Well, 227 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: then I had some stupid idiots underneath the page tell 228 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: me that, well, these are normal temperatures for Phoenix, this 229 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: is an average summer in Arizona. And I'm like, what 230 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: part aren't you getting? What is normal in Arizona and 231 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: in Nevada is not normal for say Alaska, or northern 232 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: France or this area of Greece. It is absolutely abnormal. 233 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: Just because something is normal for you in your region 234 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: does not mean that it is normal across the board. 235 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: And so there is a report by the UN that 236 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: has come out. I don't think that we are taking 237 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: the action that we need to be taking, nor do 238 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: I feel like media is using the language that it 239 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: should be. Because when we say that things are historic, 240 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: when we say that it is out of the norm, right, 241 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: it is not as forceful as it could be. We 242 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: are hitting catastrophic climate level, right, that's what we should 243 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: be talking about. We are in the midst of a 244 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: catastrophe that if our temperatures continue to rise and sea 245 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: levels continue to rise not by inches but by feet, 246 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: we are talking about wiping out populations of people. We 247 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: are talking about having a series right all over the 248 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: world of climate refugees right who now have no homes, 249 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: nowhere to live. We're talking about billions, tens of billions 250 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: of dollars worth of damage. How will people be able 251 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: to live? What will they live in when these areas 252 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: are flooded or there's so much drought that then we 253 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: have more fires. All of these things feed into themselves 254 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: and we think that what is happening in one part 255 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: of the world does it affect us? And if there's 256 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: nothing else that COVID has shown us, is that that 257 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: is not the case.
