1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, Keeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, Recording from the home Bunker 3 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: and thoroughly fucking exhausted by this week. You know, when 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: I come to the Friday shows, right I climb, I 5 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, if you can imagine somebody kind 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: of clawing and scraping their way to like the top 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: of a mountain in action film, That's how it feels 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: at the end of every fucking week in American politics. 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: And this week is no different. And as I record this, 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: it is possible that Donald Trump is being indicted. It 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: is possible that his third indictment has come down. As 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm recording this, it is being reported that he has 13 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: his attorneys had met with federal prosecutors. What people are 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: speculating is that usually when that meeting takes place, it 15 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: is largely to go through the logistics of said person, 16 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: said accused individual, moving through the indictment process. When where 17 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: how blah blah. We know that, you know, Donald Trump 18 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: is above the lawn so many ways. It's not like 19 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: he's going to take a mug shot. It's not like 20 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be handcuffed. It's not like any of 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: those things are going to happen whatsoever, because I guess 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: we're preserving the dignity of the office of the presidency 23 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: that he is defiled and defamed in so many fucking waves. 24 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: But I digress. So that being said, who knows by 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: the time that you listen to this on this good 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: Friday if the breaking news will have already happened, or 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: if it's going to happen next week, But we remain 28 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: on indictment Watch. I think that where I am on 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: this good fucking Friday is that I'm just so over it, 30 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: and you're just like, what, Danielle, what in particular? And 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm just like, literally it, like, I am just over it. 32 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: All of it has just become just so frustrating. And 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I shared recently 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: on social media, if you follow me on threads or 35 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: Instagram or anywhere, I actually didn't post it on Twitter. 36 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: So if you follow me on threads or on Instagram 37 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: at D two cents, then you will have seen it. 38 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: But I want to share it with all of you, 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: which is this post that I did yesterday. Aliens are real. 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: AI is taking over. It's been a steady one hundred 41 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: plus degrees in the South. Fires are raging from Canada degrees. 42 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: We're basically living in black mirror. Oh and instead of locus, 43 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: we have lantern flies. And for those of you who 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: don't live on the East Coast or in York, just 45 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: google it. They look pretty, but they are fucking not. 46 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: They're an invasive, fucking species. Nonetheless, if you ain't running 47 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and diving headfirst into joy like it's the end of days, 48 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck you're doing. And so 49 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: why do I bring this up? Because, folks, we talk 50 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: a lot on this show. I talk a lot on 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: this show about all of the things that you need 52 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: to be woke to, all of the things that are 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: absolutely egregious and terrible and are going wrong. And at 54 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: the same time want you all to recognize that you 55 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: are going to miss things that you cannot possibly follow 56 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: and be outraged by every goddamn thing. And because this 57 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: situation seems so fucking stark right now that if you 58 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: are not centering joy, whatever that looks like for you 59 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: in your daily life, you are going to lose your 60 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: fucking mind. Like that's just it. None of this situation 61 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: that we are living in looks good. If you are 62 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: just a envirol person and you follow climate, climate looks 63 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: kind of shit right now. There were reports earlier this week. 64 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: I believe by the New York Times and others that 65 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: we are getting to the place where the current and 66 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: the normal way that the current flows, you know, in 67 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: all of the oceans, is gonna reverse. Now. I threaded 68 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: this the other day when I said I love apocalyptic movies, right, 69 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: I always have, and during the pandemic I clearly took 70 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: a break from them because you know, it just was 71 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: hitting too close to home. But the other day, the 72 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: day after Tomorrow, which is by all stretches of the imagination, 73 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: a terrible movie. I know this. I don't need people 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: to tell me. But sometimes we like like shit, we 75 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: like crap. Right, I love this movie. I will watch 76 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: it at any point that I find it on in 77 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: the beginning, the middle of the end, five minutes to go, 78 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, to an hour in, I will watch it. 79 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: And if you remember from that film that the current 80 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: actually changed like that is what happened to provoke these 81 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: insane weather events that happened all over the globe on 82 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: the same day that pretty much forced the world into 83 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: a New Ice Age, right, that's what happened in that movie, 84 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: And the other day when I was watching it, I 85 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, my fucking god, this is basically a documentary. Now. 86 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: It came out I think in like the early two 87 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: thousands or even maybe the late nineties. I mean, the 88 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: the graphics and everything like that clearly marked that it 89 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: didn't come out recently. But nonetheless I'm watching this, I 90 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: was like, holy shit. And then fast forward to this 91 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: week when they're telling us that guess what the current 92 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: is changing? And I don't know about you, it's not 93 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: good news, you know, like, it's not It's not the 94 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: type of news that you want to hear. It's not 95 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: the type of news that makes you feel like, oh, 96 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: we can get this under control. No, no, it's not. 97 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: It's the type of news that makes you realize that 98 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: all of the things that were said about climate change 99 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: are actually happening faster than normal. And on one of 100 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: my other shows with The New Abnormal, I spoke with 101 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: a professor of environmental science who, you know, it's really 102 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: hard to I think, work in these fields and be 103 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: a hopeful person right where you're just like, had you 104 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: listen to us and take in action thirty years ago, 105 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be in this situation. And so the question 106 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: that I asked was, well, are we pass the point 107 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: of no return, like or is this at the point 108 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: where we just throw up our hands and we're just like, well, 109 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: we fucked up, and you know now it's this is 110 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: just where we are. And he said, you know, I 111 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: that he remained hopeful, and this is Richard Lazarus. That 112 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: he remained hopeful because one he believes that the you know, 113 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: the next generation is really inventive and innovative and all 114 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: of these things. And so that was great, but also 115 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: that because people are actually dealing with these effects, meaning 116 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: you're losing your home to mud slides in both Florida 117 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: and in California, you can't get homeowners insurance right, And 118 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: those are just the canaries in the coal mine, because 119 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: there will be other states, particularly those that are in 120 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: tornado alleys, those that are in hurricane alleys, that insurers 121 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: are just going to refuse to ensure, which means that 122 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: buying a home, you're pretty much at like a toss up. 123 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: If there is some type of storm or fire or whatever, 124 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: you're basically fucked unless you're sitting on an additional three 125 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: or four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand dollars that allows 126 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: you to just replace your home yourself. Right, So because 127 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: of that, I believe that homeowners in the United States, 128 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: because of climate change, is going to go down. Because 129 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: if I can't actually ensure my home, which allows me 130 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: to protect what is where I find most of my 131 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: net worth in, then why the fuck would I buy 132 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: a home. I'll just rent, right, and then it would 133 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: be the landlords that then take on that kind of 134 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: responsibility and not the rest of us. You'll have retross 135 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: insurance to cover what's in your apartment, but that'll be 136 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: about it. So it's you know, we're at this place 137 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: where so many people in different regions of the country 138 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: are coming face to face with things that they were 139 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: told they weren't going to have to deal with for 140 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: you know, until twenty fifty. And here we are having 141 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: cut the clock in half at twenty twenty three, and 142 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: the sky is turning yellow and you're not able to 143 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: go outside without a mask. Right. You have wildfires that 144 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: are raging, you have tornadoes and hurricanes that are lasting 145 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: longer and also forming in places like in cities that 146 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: they've never formed before, so these incidents are becoming more 147 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: and more frequent and more and more intense. So his 148 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: hope was that, you know, maybe that will compel people 149 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: to pressure their supposed representatives to actually get something done 150 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: because we haven't had any real climate policy that has 151 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: moved in this country since the nineties. Think about it, 152 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: and think about all of the climate disasters that have 153 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: happened since then. But there's no will, right, So when 154 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, if it's like, if you're just focusing on 155 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: these siloed things and not seeing the larger connection, there's 156 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: not a lot of good that is coming our way. 157 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: And so again, if you are not finding ways to 158 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: center joy, to ask yourself, what does bring a smile 159 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: to my face? What does make me happy? And really 160 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: making that a priority in your life, and you're just 161 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: staying in the dul drum, folks, that is an unhealthy 162 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: place to be. It just really is. Because I'm going 163 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: to tell you that these things that we talk about 164 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: and you listen to on a regular basis are really 165 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: not getting better. So it's like we have to be better, right, 166 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: we have to be at our healthiest place and so 167 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: grounded that we have the wherewithal to not just bury 168 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: our heads and turn away from the hard stuff, that 169 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: we have the energy and the strength to actually dive 170 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: into it. So that's what I meant by the posts 171 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: that I shared, which is like, if this doesn't look 172 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: and feel like the end of days, And I'm honestly 173 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: not being hyperbolic, I'm just reporting what I see. I 174 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck does, right, So you got 175 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: to make you and what brings you joy a priority. 176 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: That being said, if you are a person or you 177 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: know a person that still votes Republican, I just I 178 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: truly don't get it, and frankly I've lost all the 179 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: energy to try and figure it out. But if you 180 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: know somebody, if it's your family member or a friend 181 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: or a colleague, I need you to ask them this question. 182 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: What's the Republican Party done for you over the life 183 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: last eight years? What have they offered when Donald Trump 184 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: was in charge of you know, the executive branch, when 185 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: Republicans were in charge of Congress? How was your life bettered? 186 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: I just asked them that question because I am dying 187 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: to hear the answer, because I've yet to hear it, right, 188 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: And I also have a major gripe with reporters that 189 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: go around into these quote unquote, you know, small town, 190 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: main street fucking diners where apparently only white people go, 191 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: and don't ask these voters whose minds they're trying to 192 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: get into the side of those basic questions, not why 193 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: do you like Donald Trump? They like Donald Trump because 194 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: he gets away with everything because he's rich and he's white, 195 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: and he gets away with probably could get away with murder, 196 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: but he gets away with everything, and he gets to 197 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: be fancy, and he gets to align himself with the 198 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: models and the beautiful people in Hollywood. And we know 199 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: from how many people run out and go buy the 200 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: mega lotto tickets and the billionaire you know lotto tickets. 201 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: How many people want to be rich? Right? How many 202 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: shows do you see on television? How many reality TV 203 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: shows are all about centering the wealthy, right, and we 204 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: turn them then into deities. That's what we worship in 205 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: this country, power and wealth. So Donald Trump, for them, 206 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: that's not the right question to ask why do you 207 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump? That's the reason why they like him, 208 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: because he is a projection of who they would like 209 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: to be and how they would like to act and 210 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: have no responsibility and no account nobility, cause who's gonna 211 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: check me boot? That's it. But the real question to 212 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: ask is how has your life been made better over 213 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: the last several years when Republicans were in charge of 214 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: the whole of Congress and Donald Trump was president. Right, 215 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: you had Mitch McConnell as head of the Senate for 216 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: all of Donald Trump's term. I'm not talking about the 217 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: House because we know that the House impeached Donald Trump twice. Right, 218 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Senate and I'm looking at the 219 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: Trump administration. How did they make your life better? And 220 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: then when they say, oh, oh oh, this is the 221 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: liberal media, blah blah. So here's a video of me 222 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: asking the very same question to a diner filled with Democrats. 223 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: How was Joe Biden major life better? I'm pretty sure 224 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: folks would say the vaccine. You know that's number one 225 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: on my fucking lest The rollout of the vaccines so 226 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: that we weren't afraid to go outside anymore, could actually 227 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: reconnect with our loved ones. You couldn't do that without 228 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the vaccine. Right, the stimulus check that people got so 229 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: that they were able to put food on the table. Right, 230 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill lowering drug costs. Those things happened, right, like 231 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: so trying to wipe away student loan debt. But oh, 232 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. So when I ask, and I say, 233 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: ask these questions, it's just like what the fuck, you know, 234 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: Like it can't just be that, oh, he hates the 235 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: same people I hate, and I fear that that's their 236 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: basis for everything. They're actually not looking for politicians to 237 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: represent them and create policy that does anything for their lives. 238 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: And that's why you have this week with Kevin McCarthy 239 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: and his fucking you know, tap dancing around an impeachment 240 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: and Qorey into Joe Biden again, just to remind everybody 241 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Trump was president. If Hillary Clinton had actually done anything wrong, 242 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: she would have faced indictments. If Hunter Biden, who is 243 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: not an elected official, had really done things wrong. And 244 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: now I fear again because of politics, he'll probably end 245 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: up in jail, but that won't be enough because the 246 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: Republicans want him, you know, hung in the town square. Meanwhile, 247 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner can make two billion dollars after he walks 248 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: out of the White House from Mohammed bin Salam, but 249 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: we're not talking about that. So every time that they 250 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: bring up Hunter Biden, just say Jared Kushner, just say 251 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: in vodka Trump, which members of the Biden family are 252 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: named as advisors that got security clearance? Name one of them. None, 253 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Name anybody before that in the Obama administration. None. So 254 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: it's like, again, you have all the information, just ask 255 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: the fucking questions, but we don't do that. We don't 256 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: do that. So it's just like, you know, you get 257 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: to the end of every single week and it's just like, 258 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: what am I saying? Fuck it to fucking everything, because 259 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: it's exhausting right thinking about the fact that Donald Trump 260 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: is going to run for president again. He is running 261 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: for president again. He has two indictments, run indictment watch 262 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: for a third, and there's a potential fourth one that 263 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: will come down before we finished this year, and he's 264 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: still going to be able to run for office, and 265 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: there's a fifty to fifty fucking chance that he wins. 266 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: We think American democracy is strong. American democracy is not strong. 267 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: We live in a fucking bit at a republic. You 268 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: got the state of Alabama who is deciding that we're 269 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: not gonna follow what it is is the Supreme Court 270 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: said we're not seating another black person in a state 271 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: that has a population that is twenty eight percent black, 272 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: but we're not going to provide them with representation because 273 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: we're racist, and that's gonna be okay. They don't have 274 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: to follow the Supreme Court apparently, but women and people 275 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: with theater do right. The colleges and universities have to 276 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: now repeal affirmative action that has been functioning quite well 277 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: for the last fifty years because of the Supreme Court. 278 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: But Alabama, the state of Alabama, can say fuck you, 279 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: and we're all like, Okay, that's not how the rule 280 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: of fucking law works, but evidently it is. You cannot 281 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: maintain a country based on a set of shared laws 282 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: and values when the opposition in a two party system 283 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: has decided to buck laws and allows criminals to run 284 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: for office and supports them blindly. So I don't know 285 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: about you, but you know, I'm just grateful, you know, 286 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: some days to make it to the end of the week, 287 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: because sometimes midweek I'm like, I don't know if I'm 288 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: gonna make it. I don't know if I have the 289 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: wherewithal And then I have to go back into my meditation, 290 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: into walking, into working out, into connecting with friends and 291 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: family and moving outside of this news cycle on a 292 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: regular basis so that I can feel my humanity, so 293 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: I can feel my connection to community, because living in 294 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: this shit all the time makes me feel like this 295 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: country and people are not worth fighting for. But when 296 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: I get out of it and get into the real world, 297 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: then I remember. So when I say to center Joy, 298 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean connect, build community outside of you know, the 299 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: digital space. Remind yourself why you're so invested in why 300 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: you get so angry by being and cloaking and covering 301 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: yourself in what is good, because anger alone will not 302 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: sustain us.
