Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks, 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I'm not having a great day. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: So you know, those happen. And it is the three 5 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: black soldiers who were killed in Jordan, the black pastors 6 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: in the New York Times article who say that, yeah, 7 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: Biden not doing a great job, not living up to 8 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: his promise of reigning in democracy. And I don't feel 9 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: like we're in a good place, is what I'm saying. 10 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: And I'm feeling it in my spirit, I'm feeling it 11 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: in my body. And this morning I woke up and 12 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: I went and I'm doing a new workout regimen which 13 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I feel very good about, lots of strength building as 14 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: a way to just, you know, learn a different way 15 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: to breathe through my frustration and grief because I realize, 16 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know that you all know me to 17 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: have a significant amount of rage, but these days I 18 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: realize that I, yes, I'm angry, and I will still 19 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: like curse up a storm, but all of that is 20 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: really just grief, you know. I don't I don't know, 21 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't know it just some days, and today is 22 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: one of those days. And I know that tomorrow will 23 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: be better, and I will breathe and I will meditate 24 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and I will stretch it out. But there are some 25 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: days where I can't see the light. You know, when 26 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: we have a group of black pastors and folks, I 27 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: encourage you to read the piece in the New York Times, 28 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: black pastors pressure Biden to call for cease firing Gaza. 29 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: And you know, these are not the throwaway voters, right, Like, 30 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: here's the thing about how campaigns talk about younger voters, 31 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: right like, oh, they won't show up, they're not reliable, 32 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: so we don't really care what they say. So if 33 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: you're seeing all of these protests that are taking place 34 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: on college campuses or in cities and towns and in 35 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: the streets, and it's a lot of young people that 36 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: are there, and they're also I mean, it's protesting is intergenerational, 37 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: but largely historically it's led by young people, right, And 38 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: how the media and campaigns talk about young people's like, oh, 39 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: they're unreliable, so we can neglect them. But when you 40 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: have the very people right in South Carolina who pulled 41 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: out the twenty twenty election and gave Joe Biden the 42 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: nomination in South Carolina because of Congressman Jim Clyburn. That 43 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: should ring all sorts of fucking alarm bells, right, because 44 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: this is your true, real hardcore base, And what they 45 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: are saying is they don't really know if they're going 46 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: to vote for you. And these are people that lead 47 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: congregations of tens of thousands of black parishioners who are saying, yeah, 48 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: we're not really sure that we're gonna vote for you. 49 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. We'll be folks that say, well, 50 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: then that's just a vote for Trump. And I will 51 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: say that, right. But I think that we actually have 52 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: to start meeting these people where they are because I 53 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: am these people. Now I go on television, right, I'm 54 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: going on less and less folks. And the reason is 55 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: because I don't really know what to say. Because when 56 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: you have the International Court say that what Israel is 57 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: doing is a genocide, but oh, we're not going to 58 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: tell them to stop their military action when Israel, who 59 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: we know is lying about their intentions, are clearly committing genocide. 60 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: And now they want to say that, oh, it was 61 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: a UN workers who were in on the attacks in October, 62 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: and so now all of the Western countries pull their 63 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: funding for the only palaceine An entity that is providing 64 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: like food and care, because you're gonna take the word 65 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: of the oppressor over those that are Like, I'm just 66 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: fucking done some days, and today is one of those days. 67 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: You can't tell us to continue fighting for democracy here 68 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: when you are funding genocide right, Like, it's just I 69 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: cannot wrap my mind around it. Folks. I am struggling, 70 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: and I am one of I believe hundreds of thousands, 71 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: if not millions of Americans that are currently fucking struggling 72 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: with the decisions that we have in front of us. 73 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I wish we had more time, right, 74 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: I wish we had more time. I wish this country, 75 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: this administration had more fucking sense. I wish we cared 76 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: about humanity, you know, I wish Ugh, I don't know, 77 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. Some days it's too much. This is 78 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: from the New York Times article quote Black faith leaders 79 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: are extremely disappointed in the Biden administration on this issue, 80 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: referring to the war in Gaza, said the Reverend Timothy MacDonald, 81 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: the senior pastor of First Iconium Baptist Church in Atlanta. 82 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: We are afraid, and we've talked about it. It's going 83 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: to be very hard to persuade our people to go 84 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: back to the polls and vote for Biden. Folks. That's 85 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: not good. And like I said, I'm not doing a 86 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: lot of TV right now because I'm finding it hard 87 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: to persuade people to vote for Joe Biden. I know 88 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: what the stakes are. I know that Donald Trump, the 89 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: Republican Party Project twenty twenty five are ready, fully funded, 90 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: filled with hate, and ready to finish off our democracy. 91 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: I know this. I also know that Joe Biden, I'm 92 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure is up to the task. There, 93 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: I said it. And what do I mean by that? 94 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Is it his age? No, I don't know if it's 95 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: just his age because Donald Trump it fucking sucks down 96 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: burgers and is you know, three years younger, right, Like, 97 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't really care about Biden's age. What I'm saying 98 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: is that the weight and the size of the problems 99 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: that America and the world are facing. I don't think 100 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden and the Biden administration and the Biden 101 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: campaign have the fucking imagination and the fucking like strength 102 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: to pull this country together and push through because you 103 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: cannot do things the same old, same old, same old 104 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: fucking way and think that things are going to change 105 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: for the better. There are more people who were conscious 106 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: of and aware of the hypocrisy with which America has 107 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: quote unquote led the world. You can tell us all 108 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: you want how fucking complicated issues are. But when I 109 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: see babies and children dead under rubble, when I hear 110 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: that there are men that had hands up holding white 111 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: flags and were still shot by the IDF, do you 112 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: know what I make the connection to Mike Brown, hands up, 113 00:09:52,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: don't shoot, but it didn't matter. Black people are watching 114 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: this play out, and they find more connection with what 115 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: they are seeing the Israeli defense be able to do 116 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: with the will right of the Western world. They've given 117 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: them the green light. Black people have seen this before. 118 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: Our ancestors lived this already. They lived it in enslavement, 119 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: they lived it under Jim Crow. They live it still now, 120 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: having to give their sons and daughters the talk about 121 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: how to stay alive at a police stop, about how 122 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: and what to play with on a playground so that 123 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: you don't get killed like Tamir Rice, right, how not 124 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: to pick up a gun even though you too are 125 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: a citizen of these United States, like John Crawford. How 126 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: do not exercise your right to own a gun like 127 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Filando Castile? How do not beg for your breath like 128 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: George Floyd and Eric Gardner. Folks, It's too much. It's 129 00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: too much. So when I see this new report in 130 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: the Times and I'm reading the words of these pastors saying, quote, 131 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: this is not a fringe issue, said the Reverend Michael McBride, 132 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: a founder of the Black Church PAC and lead pastor 133 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: of Waite Church in Berkeley, California. Quote, there are many 134 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: of us who feel that this administration has lost its 135 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: way on this quote. Black clergy have seen war, militarism, poverty, 136 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: and racism all connected, said Barbara William Skinner, co convener 137 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: of the National African American Clergy Network, whose members lead 138 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: roughly fifteen million Black church goers. She goes on to say, quote, 139 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: but the Israel Gaza war, unlike Iran and Afghanistan, has 140 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: evoked the kind of deep seated against among Black people 141 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: that I have not seen since the Civil Rights movement. 142 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: Black people are not the only group, but they are 143 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: the base of the Democratic Party. And when you have 144 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: black clergy that lead millions of black people saying that 145 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: they don't know how they're going to get their parishioners 146 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: to go back to the polls for Joe Biden, that 147 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: is an alarm. That is an alarm. That is a 148 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: fucking alarm. You think that what appointing a black woman 149 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: vice president gives you what carte blanche to just fuck around? No, 150 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: because this administration is about to fucking find out that 151 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: painting Donald Trump as the criminal that we all know 152 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: he is is not going to be enough to get 153 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: people to the polls when they are knowing that their 154 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: tax dollars are going to fund genocide. Let me take 155 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: another issue, write another issue. In Chicago, there is a 156 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: group of black voters from the Democratic Party that are 157 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: suing the city. Why over, they're caring right for migrants, 158 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: right because the migrant crisis, because of the bussing that 159 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: is coming out of Texas and Florida and what have you, 160 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: is now crushing systems in Chicago and New York and 161 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: other blue quote unquote blue cities. Well, in Chicago, they're 162 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: getting ready to turn a public school right into a shelter. 163 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: They're getting ready to spend millions of dollars to care 164 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: for the migrants that are being busted in right well, 165 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: the black people who have been asking for resources for 166 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: their community, to fix schools, for health care, all of 167 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: these different things are now seeing this money magically appear 168 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: that wasn't available to them, that is now all of 169 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: a sudden available for migrants, people who are not from 170 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: this country. This is the arguments that these folks are making. 171 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: Do I believe that we need to care for those 172 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: that are seeking asylum? Absolutely? Do I wonder where Chicago 173 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: is getting this money when in fact they do very 174 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: little for the black community there. Yeah, I kind of 175 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: do fucking wonder. And do understand now the anger because 176 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: you see, when there are crabs that are placed in 177 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: a barrel who are fighting for limited resources, is when 178 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: they know that there are abundant resources if they had 179 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: the complexion for the protection. Do you know what I'm saying? 180 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: When asked whether or not these people were gonna come 181 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: out and vote for Joe Biden, they said absolutely not. 182 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: We're looking for a third party candidate and we are 183 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: staunch Democrats. We have a fucking problem. Then I move 184 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: to the drone strike that killed three black service members 185 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: in Jordan. Why does this matter because these are people 186 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: who are defending our country or what they think they 187 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: are defending. I don't know, right because right now I 188 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: really don't know. And you have these warhawks in both parties, 189 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: particularly in the Republican Party, who are saying, we need 190 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: to bomb Iran, not bomb Iran, blah blah blah blah. 191 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: But guess who is largely on the front lines. Not 192 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: their fucking kids. They didn't even fucking serve, right, It's 193 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: black and brown kids, twenty something year olds. They're the 194 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: ones that are on the front lines because they've been 195 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: fed the lie that if they risk their lives for 196 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: this country, then in return, they'll get an education, they'll 197 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: get housing, but it always comes with great risk of 198 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: death on the side of black and brown Americans. I'm 199 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: so fucking tired of this. Our tax dollars don't go 200 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: to do anything that actually matters to the day to 201 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: day existence of Americans. We saw that during COVID all 202 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Oh they had this money, right, but normally, Oh, 203 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: they don't want to give it to us because we're lazy. Right. 204 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: If you give Americans a handout, then they won't work, 205 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: or how about they'll be able to work without drowning. 206 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: It's just like the more I learn, the more I know, 207 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: the more I want to unknown, the more I understand 208 00:18:49,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: why ignorance is bliss. Everything is a lie. There's more 209 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: than enough money. The one percent just doesn't want to 210 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: redistribute wealth. Right. The things that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth 211 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: Warren have been talking about, they're all true. Why are 212 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: we facing inflation right now? It's because of greed. It's 213 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: because of companies and CEOs and shareholders running up the 214 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: prices on shit. It's because of no regulation, which will 215 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: just get worse under a Trump administration, because you know, 216 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: he'll be off the fucking rails and take off all 217 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the guardrails, and you know, for everybody else that's in 218 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: his network in space, fuck the rest of us. But 219 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: this country has been fucking the middle class and low 220 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: income workers and the poor since the beginning of time. 221 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: Just saw right before I came on, UPS is getting 222 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: ready to lay off twelve thousand workers after their historic 223 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: strike that got them all raises. Now the company says, oh, well, 224 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: because of having to deal with the union, now we 225 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: have to fire twelve thousand people. So you advocate for 226 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: better wages, better quality of work, Oh, they give it 227 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: to you, caveat, but we're going to cut you off 228 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: at the knees so that we make sure that we 229 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: can continue to put money in our shareholders, in CEO's pockets. 230 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter if you advocate and you fight 231 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: for that change, because in the end of the day, 232 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: they'll come for you. Regardless, twelve thousand people are going 233 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: to be fired. So today I'm not feeling it. Today 234 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: is one of those days where I need to sit quietly, breathe, meditate, pray, 235 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: try and imagine something that is not as awful as 236 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: our current present. It's almost nine months until the election. 237 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: I've never felt this way leading this early into an 238 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: election season. I want to leave you all with a 239 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: quote that my mother posted today, which I really need 240 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: and so maybe some of you do as well. The 241 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: quote reads, life is amazing, and then it's awful, and 242 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful, 243 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, 244 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during 245 00:21:53,280 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: the ordinary. That's just living. Heartbreaking, soul healing, amazing, awful, 246 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: ordinary life and its breathtakingly beautiful. That is it for 247 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: me today. Dear friends on Woke a f as always 248 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Power to the people and to all the people. Power, 249 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: get woke and stay woke as fuck.
