1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: me your girl, Daniel Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: as we head into this holiday season, I want to

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: give deep thanks and gratitude to every single one of

5
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: you that has supported me and independent media and this

6
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: show over the last several years. It has been at

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: times an uphill battle to stay on top of all

8
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: of the horrendous news, and at other times, you know,

9
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: a majority of the time extraordinarily rewarding speaking to so

10
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: many thoughtful people who, in their different modes and industries,

11
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: are trying to advance democracy, are trying to offer critical

12
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: analysis and paths of hope and faith for the listeners

13
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: to walk. It is going to be a really difficult

14
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: time ahead, and you know that I don't ever sugarcoat

15
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: things or try and pretend that they're not going to

16
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: be as bad as they are. And the fact is,

17
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: I have no idea, none of us really know. We

18
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: have history as our guide, but we don't really know

19
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: truly what we're in for. But we do know that fundamentally,

20
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the America that we have known will not exist anymore.

21
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: And for the last ten plus years, our country, our

22
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: democracy has been creeping towards authoritarianism. Donald Trump proved that

23
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: he didn't even need to be in the White House

24
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: for that to continue to creep forward, with the attacks

25
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: on media, with the attacks on political opponents, with the

26
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: fact that he was the first former president to actually

27
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: never go away from the spotlight, to never leave the stage,

28
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and to continue to see discourse and distrust, and it

29
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: has overwhelmed us to the point where millions of people

30
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: decided not to vote, or handful of people peeled off

31
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: and decided that Donald Trump's vision of America and his

32
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: narrative that he had created was what they believed in.

33
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: And this show started in twenty seventeen as a response

34
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: and reaction to Donald Trump's administration because I honestly, I

35
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: was genuinely, like all of you, gobsmacked that someone like

36
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: him would be following the historic presidency of Barack Obama.

37
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: But then, if you are a student of history and

38
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: understand whitelash and what happens every time there is significant

39
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: progress in this country for black people, particularly, there is

40
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: always always resounding backlash to those advancements, so steep in

41
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: fact that this Civil War and reconstruction ushered in one

42
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: hundred years of Jim Crow. We have only truly had

43
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: a democracy in this country for the last sixty years,

44
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: where those who weren't expressly written into the Constitution were provided,

45
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: after blood, sweat and tears, the opportunity to be full

46
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: fledged citizens of this country. And now here we are

47
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: where once again progress is being stopped dead in its tracks,

48
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: and what comes next may indeed last a century or more.

49
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, our friend Jonathan Mepzil, you know, says, you know,

50
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: sometimes he feels like the guy in the midst of

51
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the one hundred Year War three years in saying, oh

52
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: my god, when is this going to end? And that

53
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: is kind of how I feel as well. You know,

54
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: I can't express the deep disappointment, devastation and grief that

55
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I am. I'm still processing from the last three weeks

56
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: of where this election landed us, but also the last

57
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: several years of turning on a microphone every single day

58
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: to try and offer truth and critical thinking and a

59
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: deeper analysis of where we want this country to go.

60
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: And I'm proud. I'm proud of the work that I've done.

61
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm proud of the conversations that we have had. That

62
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: being said at the end of this year, wokaf will end.

63
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: And as you know, I host, as people say, fifty

64
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: eleven podcasts and shows, but wokapp has been my flagship show.

65
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: It has been an idea that I was able to

66
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: turn into a really incredible project over the last several years.

67
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: And when faced with whether to continue this show or

68
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: end it, I made the really hard decision that it

69
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: was time for a new chapter. Don't be confused by

70
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: me leaving WOKF that I'm leaving the airwaves. That is

71
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: absolutely not happening until somebody pulls the microphone from me.

72
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: But I've been grappling for a long time with what

73
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: it actually means in this day and age where people

74
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: made the decision that they didn't want to be folk,

75
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: that they made the decision that they would rather be

76
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: led and led by a liar, that they would rather

77
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: bury their heads in the sand. This elect kind of

78
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: broke my heart, and I think that that is fair

79
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: to say that I am heartbroken, and I need to

80
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: figure out for myself what my resistance is going to

81
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: look like moving forward. And for many of you, you've

82
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: seen that I have launched a new show, a video

83
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: streaming show, a live show where I can better engage

84
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: with the audience in real time and have real time conversation,

85
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: host town halls on Tuesdays of The Danielle Moody Show,

86
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: provide call to actions on Thursday, and give people an

87
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: opportunity in real time to be able to create and

88
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: build community, even if that is just you know, thirty

89
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: to forty five minutes a day. But there has been

90
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: something about podcasting and speaking out into a void that

91
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: hasn't continued to provide me with the kind of sustenance

92
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: that I need in this moment, and that I think

93
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: that audiences need in this moment. As people turn away

94
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: from cable news, as folks turn away from legacy news,

95
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: what I hear is that people are so thirsty for

96
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: connection with one another. And that is why I launched

97
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel. It was because one I needed to

98
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: actually be engaging with people, engaging with all of you

99
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: in a different way. I needed to be able to

100
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: kind of flex creative muscles and learn how to produce

101
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: my own content and control all levers of my shows

102
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: in the way that I haven't had the ability to do.

103
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: And so I make this announcement today that you know

104
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: the end of the year. December thirty first will be

105
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: the last Woke af show, and I'm just filled with

106
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: a mix of emotions around that. Like I said, I'm

107
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: filled with deep gratitude for having hosted this show, created

108
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: this show for years. It started out as, you know,

109
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: a gig that I was doing on Sundays on Serious

110
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: XM for three hours live taking calls and just being

111
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: in conversation with people. And I miss that. I miss

112
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: that daily interaction and hearing from real people. And that's

113
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: why I went to YouTube, because I was like, put

114
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: a question in the chat, comment on something. It just

115
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: it feels livelier. I say that to say that I'm

116
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: so appreciative of all of the support. You have no

117
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: idea how many times I have felt defeated in this

118
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: work and just wanted to, you know, give up and

119
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: let other people do it and do it better. But

120
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I think that we are in a state of great

121
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: transition in this country and in our own lives. Right

122
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: If you're a person that you know believes in astrology

123
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: and the way that I do, it's one of the

124
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: oldest technologies on the planet. You know, We're ending one

125
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: cycle of Pluto leaving Capricorn and moving into Aquarius for

126
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: the first time. I think this was the last time

127
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: that it'll be in Capricorn in our lifetime. And we're

128
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: ending a fifteen year cycle, going back to two thousand

129
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and eight until now. And when I think about the

130
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: last fifteen years, which is an incredibly long stretch of time,

131
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: and I think about what two thousand and eight symbolized

132
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: in our politics, of the election of the first black president,

133
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: and now the probably our last election and the election

134
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: of a known white supremacist and an Autocrat. We've been

135
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: on a wild journey, you know. I started two thousand

136
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: and eight young and fresh eyed, and so committed to

137
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: American politics and so excited about the future of this country,

138
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: and now fifteen years later find myself in deep grief

139
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: over who I thought America was, who I thought that

140
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: we had the possibility to be. And I say, and

141
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: I've been saying as I try and reframe my thoughts

142
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: around this election, that maybe Donald Trump is actually needed.

143
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Maybe the destruction of systems and of a country that

144
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: never wanted to reckon with white supremacy, never wanted to

145
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: reckon with white violence, domestic violence, and terrorism. Maybe people

146
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: need to see it up close and personal, because we've

147
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: sanitized all of our history so much so that in

148
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Red States you think that the Transatlantic slave trade was

149
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: some type of internship. And according to Ron DeSantis, you know,

150
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: slaves learn skills as opposed to you captured skillful, creative,

151
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: innovative people, and then they built this country that you

152
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: were too lazy your ancestors to do themselves. The reality

153
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: is that sometimes destruction is necessary. Sometimes people have to

154
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: lose things to recognize how very important things like freedom, bodily, autonomy, creativity,

155
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: and innovation were and are. And I think that in

156
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ways America has taken for granted the

157
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: things that were fought for tooth and nail, that people

158
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: lost their lives for, shed blood for, shed tears for

159
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: for generations. And you know, I have said this so

160
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: many times on the Danielle Moody Show as of late,

161
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: that all of us are not making it to the

162
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: New World. We're not and we have to understand that

163
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: that millions of lives are going to be lost in

164
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: this deep, dark transitional state that this country and the

165
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: world are going to go through. And what comes next,

166
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: God willing, will be a rebuild that is more inclusive

167
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that is in recognition of never allowing an autocrat a

168
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: dictator to ever take power again. But there is going

169
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: to be years and years and years of hardship in

170
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: order to get to the other side. Now, while I

171
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: didn't need to be a part of the find out

172
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: of the fuck around, as I continue to say, none

173
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: of us did, because we've been doing the right things.

174
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: Clearly as a collective, this is something that the universe

175
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: is saying that we need to go through. So as

176
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: we seek out community, as we wake from this haze

177
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: of and try and figure out what each of our

178
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: roles are moving forward, understand that in times of darkness,

179
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: there was still light. During the horrific terrorism and practice

180
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: of slavery and Jim Crow, they were still dancing and

181
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: jazz and delicious food being created and art being made.

182
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: And we need to revel in that. We need to

183
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: find those outlets, create those spaces that make us feel

184
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: our full humanity, that have us really steeped and wrapped

185
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: up in the delicious beauty that humanity does offer, even

186
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: in and especially in times of darkness. I had the

187
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: ability over the weekend to go to the Whitney to

188
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: see the Ali exhibit. This astounding exhibit of the Alvin

189
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Ailey Dance Company and Alvin Ailey, the founder and creator,

190
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: And it was just if you have the opportunity to

191
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: come to New York to see it, or if you're

192
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: in New York or close enough, it is worth the

193
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: trip to see the inspiration to understand that. As I

194
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: was looking at the dates of the births and deaths

195
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: of some of these great artists that inspired and were

196
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: friends with Alvin Ailey, you're looking at births in the

197
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred, nineteen twenty four, nineteen thirty nine, and seeing

198
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,359
Speaker 1: how long these incredible Black artists and poits, Lorraine Hansbury,

199
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Duke Ellington, Jacob Lawrence, how long of a life these

200
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: people had, what they had seen, some of them born

201
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: just at the beginning of what it would mean to

202
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: be free, born, free and black in this country but

203
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: not yet seen as a citizen, and what they created

204
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: during that time. And as I was walking through these

205
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: just huge rooms and taking in the art and the

206
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: dance and the music, and the sculpture and the weaving

207
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: and the quilts, and just it took my breath away

208
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and or reminded me that our lives are but like

209
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: a blip in this long span and existence of the universe.

210
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: But what we do with our time to make this space,

211
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: this planet better is not about the external world being perfect,

212
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: or being loving, or even being kind. But it is

213
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: about the joy and the community and the connection and

214
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: the beauty that we create in spite of it all

215
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: is the testament of our humanity. And so I am

216
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: grateful for those creatives. I'm grateful for to have been

217
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: just marveling for a few hours in the whitney and

218
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: just taking in my ancestors, these beautiful black legends who

219
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: lived at a time where, on its face was pure despair,

220
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: but what they created was indeed extraordinary, and we were

221
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: all better off for it. So, as we move out

222
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: of this hate into this new world, understanding that it

223
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: is going to be filled with both the darkness and light,

224
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: be the lantern. Figure out what your resistance looks like.

225
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: It could look like gardening. It could look like monthly

226
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: dinner parties and gatherings with friends and family. It could

227
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: look like watercolor or poetry. It could look like rest.

228
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: But now as we enter into this next phase, this

229
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: next chapter, this next book, this next story, our entire

230
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: lives do not have to be about how we react

231
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: to this new regime. It can be about what we

232
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: create in spite of it. So I thank you all

233
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: so very much, and the next couple of weeks we

234
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: will continue to provide analysis and interviews, and I really

235
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: do hope that you all will join me over at
