WEBVTT - Three Alarm Fire

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Willkate f Daily with

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Me your Girl. Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be honest, I'm not having a great day.

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, those happen. And it is the three

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>black soldiers who were killed in Jordan, the black pastors

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>in the New York Times article who say that, yeah,

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Biden not doing a great job, not living up to

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>his promise of reigning in democracy. And I don't feel

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>like we're in a good place, is what I'm saying.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm feeling it in my spirit, I'm feeling it

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>in my body. And this morning I woke up and

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I went and I'm doing a new workout regimen which

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel very good about, lots of strength building as

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a way to just, you know, learn a different way

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to breathe through my frustration and grief because I realize,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know that you all know me to

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>have a significant amount of rage, but these days I

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>realize that I, yes, I'm angry, and I will still

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like curse up a storm, but all of that is

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>really just grief, you know. I don't I don't know,

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know it just some days, and today is

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those days. And I know that tomorrow will

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>be better, and I will breathe and I will meditate

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and I will stretch it out. But there are some

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>days where I can't see the light. You know, when

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>we have a group of black pastors and folks, I

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>encourage you to read the piece in the New York Times,

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>black pastors pressure Biden to call for cease firing Gaza.

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, these are not the throwaway voters, right, Like,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing about how campaigns talk about younger voters,

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>right like, oh, they won't show up, they're not reliable,

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>so we don't really care what they say. So if

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing all of these protests that are taking place

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>on college campuses or in cities and towns and in

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the streets, and it's a lot of young people that

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>are there, and they're also I mean, it's protesting is intergenerational,

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>but largely historically it's led by young people, right, And

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>how the media and campaigns talk about young people's like, oh,

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>they're unreliable, so we can neglect them. But when you

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>have the very people right in South Carolina who pulled

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>out the twenty twenty election and gave Joe Biden the

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>nomination in South Carolina because of Congressman Jim Clyburn. That

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>should ring all sorts of fucking alarm bells, right, because

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>this is your true, real hardcore base, And what they

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>are saying is they don't really know if they're going

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to vote for you. And these are people that lead

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>congregations of tens of thousands of black parishioners who are saying, yeah,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>we're not really sure that we're gonna vote for you.

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Now here's the thing. We'll be folks that say, well,

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>then that's just a vote for Trump. And I will

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>say that, right. But I think that we actually have

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to start meeting these people where they are because I

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>am these people. Now I go on television, right, I'm

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>going on less and less folks. And the reason is

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>because I don't really know what to say. Because when

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you have the International Court say that what Israel is

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>doing is a genocide, but oh, we're not going to

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>tell them to stop their military action when Israel, who

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:47.799
<v Speaker 1>we know is lying about their intentions, are clearly committing genocide.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And now they want to say that, oh, it was

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>a UN workers who were in on the attacks in October,

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and so now all of the Western countries pull their

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>funding for the only palaceine An entity that is providing

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like food and care, because you're gonna take the word

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of the oppressor over those that are Like, I'm just

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>fucking done some days, and today is one of those days.

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't tell us to continue fighting for democracy here

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>when you are funding genocide right, Like, it's just I

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>cannot wrap my mind around it. Folks. I am struggling,

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and I am one of I believe hundreds of thousands,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>if not millions of Americans that are currently fucking struggling

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>with the decisions that we have in front of us.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yeah, I wish we had more time, right,

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I wish we had more time. I wish this country,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>this administration had more fucking sense. I wish we cared

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>about humanity, you know, I wish Ugh, I don't know,

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Some days it's too much. This is

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>from the New York Times article quote Black faith leaders

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 1>are extremely disappointed in the Biden administration on this issue,

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>referring to the war in Gaza, said the Reverend Timothy MacDonald,

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the senior pastor of First Iconium Baptist Church in Atlanta.

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>We are afraid, and we've talked about it. It's going

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>to be very hard to persuade our people to go

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>back to the polls and vote for Biden. Folks. That's

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>not good. And like I said, I'm not doing a

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of TV right now because I'm finding it hard

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to persuade people to vote for Joe Biden. I know

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>what the stakes are. I know that Donald Trump, the

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party Project twenty twenty five are ready, fully funded,

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>filled with hate, and ready to finish off our democracy.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I know this. I also know that Joe Biden, I'm

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not one hundred percent sure is up to the task. There,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I said it. And what do I mean by that?

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Is it his age? No, I don't know if it's

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>just his age because Donald Trump it fucking sucks down

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>burgers and is you know, three years younger, right, Like,

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care about Biden's age. What I'm saying

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>is that the weight and the size of the problems

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that America and the world are facing. I don't think

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Biden and the Biden administration and the Biden

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>campaign have the fucking imagination and the fucking like strength

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to pull this country together and push through because you

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>cannot do things the same old, same old, same old

0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking way and think that things are going to change

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>for the better. There are more people who were conscious

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 1>of and aware of the hypocrisy with which America has

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote led the world. You can tell us all

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you want how fucking complicated issues are. But when I

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>see babies and children dead under rubble, when I hear

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>that there are men that had hands up holding white

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>flags and were still shot by the IDF, do you

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>know what I make the connection to Mike Brown, hands up,

0:09:52.679 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>don't shoot, but it didn't matter. Black people are watching

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this play out, and they find more connection with what

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>they are seeing the Israeli defense be able to do

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with the will right of the Western world. They've given

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>them the green light. Black people have seen this before.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Our ancestors lived this already. They lived it in enslavement,

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>they lived it under Jim Crow. They live it still now,

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>having to give their sons and daughters the talk about

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>how to stay alive at a police stop, about how

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and what to play with on a playground so that

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't get killed like Tamir Rice, right, how not

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to pick up a gun even though you too are

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a citizen of these United States, like John Crawford. How

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>do not exercise your right to own a gun like

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Filando Castile? How do not beg for your breath like

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd and Eric Gardner. Folks, It's too much. It's

0:11:54.760 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>too much. So when I see this new report in

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the Times and I'm reading the words of these pastors saying, quote,

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>this is not a fringe issue, said the Reverend Michael McBride,

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a founder of the Black Church PAC and lead pastor

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of Waite Church in Berkeley, California. Quote, there are many

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of us who feel that this administration has lost its

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>way on this quote. Black clergy have seen war, militarism, poverty,

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>and racism all connected, said Barbara William Skinner, co convener

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of the National African American Clergy Network, whose members lead

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>roughly fifteen million Black church goers. She goes on to say, quote,

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>but the Israel Gaza war, unlike Iran and Afghanistan, has

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>evoked the kind of deep seated against among Black people

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 1>that I have not seen since the Civil Rights movement.

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Black people are not the only group, but they are

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the base of the Democratic Party. And when you have

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>black clergy that lead millions of black people saying that

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how they're going to get their parishioners

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the polls for Joe Biden, that

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>is an alarm. That is an alarm. That is a

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>fucking alarm. You think that what appointing a black woman

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>vice president gives you what carte blanche to just fuck around? No,

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>because this administration is about to fucking find out that

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>painting Donald Trump as the criminal that we all know

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>he is is not going to be enough to get

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>people to the polls when they are knowing that their

0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>tax dollars are going to fund genocide. Let me take

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>another issue, write another issue. In Chicago, there is a

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.079
<v Speaker 1>group of black voters from the Democratic Party that are

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>suing the city. Why over, they're caring right for migrants,

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>right because the migrant crisis, because of the bussing that

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is coming out of Texas and Florida and what have you,

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>is now crushing systems in Chicago and New York and

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>other blue quote unquote blue cities. Well, in Chicago, they're

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to turn a public school right into a shelter.

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>They're getting ready to spend millions of dollars to care

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>for the migrants that are being busted in right well,

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the black people who have been asking for resources for

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>their community, to fix schools, for health care, all of

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>these different things are now seeing this money magically appear

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't available to them, that is now all of

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>a sudden available for migrants, people who are not from

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>this country. This is the arguments that these folks are making.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Do I believe that we need to care for those

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that are seeking asylum? Absolutely? Do I wonder where Chicago

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is getting this money when in fact they do very

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>little for the black community there. Yeah, I kind of

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>do fucking wonder. And do understand now the anger because

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you see, when there are crabs that are placed in

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a barrel who are fighting for limited resources, is when

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>they know that there are abundant resources if they had

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the complexion for the protection. Do you know what I'm saying?

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>When asked whether or not these people were gonna come

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>out and vote for Joe Biden, they said absolutely not.

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>We're looking for a third party candidate and we are

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>staunch Democrats. We have a fucking problem. Then I move

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to the drone strike that killed three black service members

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>in Jordan. Why does this matter because these are people

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>who are defending our country or what they think they

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>are defending. I don't know, right because right now I

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>really don't know. And you have these warhawks in both parties,

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>particularly in the Republican Party, who are saying, we need

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to bomb Iran, not bomb Iran, blah blah blah blah.

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But guess who is largely on the front lines. Not

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>their fucking kids. They didn't even fucking serve, right, It's

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>black and brown kids, twenty something year olds. They're the

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 1>ones that are on the front lines because they've been

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>fed the lie that if they risk their lives for

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this country, then in return, they'll get an education, they'll

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 1>get housing, but it always comes with great risk of

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>death on the side of black and brown Americans. I'm

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 1>so fucking tired of this. Our tax dollars don't go

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to do anything that actually matters to the day to

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>day existence of Americans. We saw that during COVID all

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Oh they had this money, right, but normally, Oh,

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to give it to us because we're lazy. Right.

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>If you give Americans a handout, then they won't work,

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>or how about they'll be able to work without drowning.

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>It's just like the more I learn, the more I know,

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the more I want to unknown, the more I understand

0:18:49.840 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>why ignorance is bliss. Everything is a lie. There's more

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>than enough money. The one percent just doesn't want to

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:09.680
<v Speaker 1>redistribute wealth. Right. The things that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Warren have been talking about, they're all true. Why are

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we facing inflation right now? It's because of greed. It's

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>because of companies and CEOs and shareholders running up the

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>prices on shit. It's because of no regulation, which will

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>just get worse under a Trump administration, because you know,

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 1>he'll be off the fucking rails and take off all

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the guardrails, and you know, for everybody else that's in

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>his network in space, fuck the rest of us. But

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>this country has been fucking the middle class and low

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>income workers and the poor since the beginning of time.

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Just saw right before I came on, UPS is getting

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>ready to lay off twelve thousand workers after their historic

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>strike that got them all raises. Now the company says, oh, well,

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>because of having to deal with the union, now we

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>have to fire twelve thousand people. So you advocate for

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>better wages, better quality of work, Oh, they give it

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to you, caveat, but we're going to cut you off

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>at the knees so that we make sure that we

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.719
<v Speaker 1>can continue to put money in our shareholders, in CEO's pockets.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>So it doesn't matter if you advocate and you fight

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>for that change, because in the end of the day,

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 1>they'll come for you. Regardless, twelve thousand people are going

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:45.439
<v Speaker 1>to be fired. So today I'm not feeling it. Today

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 1>is one of those days where I need to sit quietly, breathe, meditate, pray,

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 1>try and imagine something that is not as awful as

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>our current present. It's almost nine months until the election.

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt this way leading this early into an

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 1>election season. I want to leave you all with a

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 1>quote that my mother posted today, which I really need

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 1>and so maybe some of you do as well. The

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 1>quote reads, life is amazing, and then it's awful, and

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful,

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing,

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during

0:21:53.280 --> 0:22:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the ordinary. That's just living. Heartbreaking, soul healing, amazing, awful,

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>ordinary life and its breathtakingly beautiful. That is it for

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>me today. Dear friends on Woke a f as always

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Power to the people and to all the people. Power,

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.080
<v Speaker 1>get woke and stay woke as fuck.
