But there is just so much to say 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: fuck it to. I don't even know where to start. 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: So let's start with the Republican Debate, if in fact 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: you decided to stomach that in I'm starting to feel 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: like people should start sending me gifts for having to 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: ingest so much bullshit on your all's behalf. I'm joking, 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: of course, but Jesus Christ right, like I deserve a medal. 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Start off with the Republican Debate, the second debate that 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: took place at the Ronald Reagan Library. Every single one 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: of the Republicans on that stage are assholes. Every single 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: one of them is a bigot, every single one of 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: them is a transphobe. Every single one of them is 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: a xenophobe, right. And so for the mainstream media to 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: continue to try and convince us that there is someone 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: in this field who is quote unquote better than Donald Trump, 24 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: what is their definition of better? Because every single one 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: of these people embraces trump Ism, even if they don't 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump. They embrace xenophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, they 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: embrace anti climate change policies. They are against voting right 28 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: and people having access to the polls. They are against workers. 29 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: So I don't understand how we sit here and do 30 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: this bullshit horse racing kind of debate around who is 31 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: the best of the worst, because that's what it is 32 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: that we're doing. First of all, none of those people 33 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: on that stage are serious candidates for president of the 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: United States, Because in order to be a serious candidate 35 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: for president of the United States, you have to be 36 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: willing to knock down who is in first place, right like, 37 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: you have to be willing and have the temerity and 38 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: the tenacity to go after the number one spot. And 39 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: so how do these people go on stage do the 40 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: very least in trying to bring down Donald Trump? Literally, 41 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: the man has just been named a fraud, which I'll 42 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: get to in a moment. He's a fucking grifter. He 43 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: has ninety one charges facing him, four indictments. Right, he's 44 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: been labeled as sexual assaulter. We already know that he's 45 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: a liar. He was named as that as well. Can't 46 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: be trusted with fucking documents, can't be trusted with the 47 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: national intelligence of this country. You have a fucking shorgus 48 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: board of things to go after and attack about Donald 49 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Trump if in fact you are serious about being this 50 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: country's next commander in chief. But exactly what Donald Trump 51 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: said in his fraudulent ass appearance in Michigan where he 52 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: got together with a group of non union workers, some 53 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: of which were not even auto workers, holding up signs 54 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: saying that they were because they were probably paid by 55 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: the campaign. And that was aired out by the Detroit News. 56 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: So thank you for your good journalism. But Donald Trump 57 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: gets on that stage and says, these people don't look 58 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: like they're running for president. They look like they're running 59 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: for secretary of I don't know what, or to be 60 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: my vice president. He asked the audience, do you see 61 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: any vice presidential candidates in the bunch? I sure don't, 62 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: And they laughed. That's what the rest of us think 63 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: about this Republican field, including Donald Trump. Do I see 64 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: a serious candidate for office in that bunch. No, I 65 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: think that every single one of them are auditioning to 66 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: be the next I don't know, Hannity, the next Tucker 67 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Carlson on Fox News, because they seriously can't believe that 68 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: they are equipped to run this country, right when they 69 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: are not even equipped enough to tell the truth about 70 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump being bad for the Republican Party. Aside from 71 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: Chris who his direct to camera like trying to be 72 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: the tough guy and take on Donald Trump was just 73 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, childish at best, but he 74 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: is the only person that's actually willing to call a 75 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: spade a spade. But he is not within a snowball 76 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: chance in l of becoming president of the United States. 77 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: So he's up just up there for what comic relief 78 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: and the Donald duck Sir, please don't just don't because 79 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: the joke fell flat and it was stupid right at best. 80 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley and her like, I mean, just visible disdain 81 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and disgust for the zk Ramaswami. You know the fact 82 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: that she said that she feels dumber after every exchange. Well, 83 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: I can say that wholeheartedly about the entirety of the 84 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: Republican Party. Anytime that one of those motherfuckers opened up 85 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: their mouths, I'm I'm certain that all of our IQs drop, 86 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: you know. So that's my first bucket is to you know, 87 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: this Republican primary that we're all having to suffer through, 88 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: knowing good goddamn well that even if Donald Trump manages 89 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: to get convicted, tried and convicted and put in prison, 90 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the Republicans will still want him to run the country 91 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: from a federal penitentiary because there is not another suitable 92 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: person in the budge. And I would just argue there 93 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: isn't a suitable Republican full stop period the Reagan days, 94 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: which also he was a terrible president. Great for white 95 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: America and great for the rich, but really fucking terrible 96 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: for everybody else. I want to talk about Lauren Bobert 97 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: now now that there are names that I would love 98 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: to call Lauren Bobert, but I have class, so I'm 99 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: not going to call them out on this show. You 100 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: can imagine, you know, because I'm certain that you all 101 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: feel the same way. This person decided to take to 102 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: the House floor to misgender a member of the Biden cabinet, 103 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: the highest ranking transperson to utilize her time to dish 104 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: out some of the most hateful, transphobic, disgusting rhetoric I 105 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: think that I have ever heard, And here is my fuck. 106 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: It is that Lauren Bobert should have never been allowed 107 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: to open up her fucking mouth on the house floor. 108 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: One because of her disgusting, disgusting, fucking display at the 109 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: Beetlejuice Uh performance right, like you have no class, no manners, 110 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: no kouth, and you are not deserving of the title 111 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: of congress person like you are disgusting. So that's number one. 112 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: Number two, the moment that she misgendered a member of 113 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Biden's administration, her fucking mic should have been cut off. 114 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: That kind of transphobic, hateful, and violent language has no 115 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: business inside of our Congress. I don't give a fuck 116 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: what these nasty motherfuckers say to each other, but they 117 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: sure as hell shouldn't be given a microphone and the 118 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: privilege of saying those things on the house floor and 119 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:58,239 Speaker 1: it being entered into the record. That was disgusting because, 120 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: like I've said on my other shows, if if you 121 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: were to take out the word trans and insert any 122 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: other marginalized group Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanic folks, Asian people, 123 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: anybody other than trans people, which apparently is totally acceptable 124 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: to be mocking and bigoted towards. That's okay, right, Apparently 125 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: with Americans it shouldn't be. Do you know the rate 126 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: at which trans people are murdered in this country, particularly 127 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: black trans women, It is like ten times something, staggering 128 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: the rate of murder, homelessness, right, poverty. So you're just 129 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: taking this group that only wants to live free in 130 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: this democracy inside of their own bodies, making a mockery 131 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: and a target of them on the house floor, and 132 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: we think that that's acceptable. But if you or I 133 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: were to ever do that with any other group, if 134 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: it was a Jewish person, she would be labeled as 135 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: an anti semi and probably kicked out of Congress if 136 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: she were to talk about that about black people. Even 137 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: though Marjorie Taylor Green, her other white trash fucking counterpart, 138 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: went on the House floor dreaming right against the highest 139 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: ranking black military official saying that they should be making 140 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: one dollar right because the military is woke. I can 141 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: think of no less woke entity than the United States military, 142 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: these people, their level of disrespect. I am just folks. 143 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: I wish, honestly, I wish that we lived in a 144 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: society where people cared about each other, right, where people 145 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: challenged themselves to be better, not where they were applauded 146 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: for playing to the bottom. I long for the days 147 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: where a Marshy Tailor Green and a Lauren Bobert would 148 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: have been laughed out of any election. I long for 149 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: the days where we had political correctness and decorum. And 150 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm not even a person that believes in respectability politics. 151 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: I don't, you know, like the dress codes on the 152 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: floor and in I could care less, right, because what 153 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: I care about is how these people vote. What I 154 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: care about is what they say, not what they put 155 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: on their bodies, except for Christen Cinema and the fucking 156 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: ugly accidentum ves, But I digress. What they say prompts 157 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: the behavior of their followers, right. They send out their 158 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: little signals we don't like this group, we don't like 159 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: these people. Why do you think that hate crimes against 160 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: trans people, against black people, against a people, against the 161 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Jewish community are on the rise. Every single marginalized group 162 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: has seen double digit increases in violence against that community 163 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,479 Speaker 1: as the violent rhetoric has been escalated by our supposed 164 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: elected officials and leaders. One plus one really does equal 165 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: to regardless of whether or not you want to live 166 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: on Earth one or someplace on Earth iree where those 167 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: motherfuckers live. So the fact that we don't readily connect 168 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: the dots and call these people out for inciting violence 169 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: and using their platforms and their voices to do so 170 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: is bullshit. When I heard Laura like, I was so 171 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: fucking floored that she was able to get make it 172 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: through that entire speech, No one, the person that was 173 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: sitting and presiding over the House did not stop her 174 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: and say we do not condone that type of hateful 175 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: rhetoric on the House floor. If you have real policy 176 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: and real business and real issue to bring by all 177 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: means just to open up the mic to attack a 178 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: transmember of the Biden administration, no, should have never been 179 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: fucking allowed. But that again just goes to show you 180 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: what we think about trans people in this country, goes 181 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: to show you why people like Ron de Santis are 182 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: able to pass hateful legislation against folks because people are like, well, 183 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't know a transproved person and I think that 184 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: they're weird, right, and they're allowed to say and do that. 185 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: Oh it makes me uncomfortable. I can think of no 186 00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: group braver. Honestly, they trans people that live on purpose 187 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: out loud when it would be so much easier for 188 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: them not to and know it wouldn't because you think 189 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: about how easy it would be to swallow the truth 190 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: of who you are every fucking day. It's why people 191 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: kill themselves. I just you know, it's so gross where 192 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: we are. You know, it's so gross. And that's why 193 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: I tell you all that it is so important to 194 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: take some space and time and create some distance between 195 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: you and what these people are trying to do, which 196 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: is make us believe that everyone is as full as 197 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: hate and despair and disgust as they are, and I 198 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: know that that is not the truth. I want to 199 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: end today with a little, you know, with a little 200 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: feel good Friday, because I do recognize it is important 201 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: to insert that at the end of the week. I 202 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: had the great opportunity to do a storytelling workshop for 203 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: trade unionists in Minnesota a week or so ago. And 204 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: I've been to Minnesota before, probably just once before. And 205 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, as somebody from the East Coast, who's lived, 206 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, in Washington, d C. Has lived in New York, 207 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: has lived in Virginia. You have certain ideas about the Midwest, right, 208 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: based on nothing other than what the media tells us 209 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: about the Midwest. And me thinking, you know, as a 210 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: black queer woman going to these places and having an 211 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: idea about how these people, how people are and what 212 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: have you. I cannot express enough how pleasantly surprised like 213 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: I was, and just a reminder of my own geographic bigotry, 214 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: right in terms of believing that because certain areas have 215 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: turned red, that that means that everyone in that state 216 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: is a bigot is not true? And I know that 217 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: it's like you think, yeah, of course, Daniel da right, 218 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: But no, because the way that these areas have been 219 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: painted by the media by political parties would have you 220 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: believe that we're not just all out here trying to 221 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: do the best that we can. Right, listening to these 222 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: trade unionists, from cafeteria workers to janital janitors, to teachers' 223 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: aides and what have you, just people doing the best 224 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: that they can to provide for themselves and their family 225 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: and just wanting to have a living wage, wanting to 226 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: be of service, even if that service isn't highly paid, 227 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: but the payment is in just feeling good about the 228 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: work that you do every day and just wanting to 229 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: have some dignity attached to that, and being out in 230 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: the field actually talking to real people. Right. And when 231 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: I say real people, I don't mean like the real Americans. 232 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: I just mean moving away from listening to talking heads 233 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: all the time, moving away from listening to the nasty, 234 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: disgusting rhetoric coming out of Republicans' mouths, and actually talking 235 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: to real people, you know, with lives and kids and 236 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: families and jobs and hopes and dreams. And it was 237 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: such a beautiful reminder of like what I try and 238 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: fight for. Why I am talking is because everyone should 239 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to be able to live the life 240 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: that they want to go to work and feel seen 241 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: and feel heard and feel valued. That's why people are 242 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: on strike. It's not that folks hate the rich. Good 243 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: for fucking you, But when your enormous wealth comes off 244 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: of the sweat and tears and sacrifice of the working class, 245 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: and you in return provide them not even with a 246 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: living wage and benefits so that they can keep working, 247 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: to make you wealthy because your greed has just gotten 248 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: has just taken over. It's ridiculous to me. And so 249 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: it was just such a wonderful reminder to be in 250 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: this state and interact with so many beautiful spirits doing 251 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: like literal God's work in all honesty, and you know, 252 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: like looking at their jobs as more than just jobs, 253 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: but they are literally what makes communities run. Right. These 254 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: are the people that do the work that when they're 255 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: do it and they do it well, nobody notices. But 256 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: when something isn't picked up or done or fixed, then 257 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it throws a wrench in everything else. 258 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: These people are essential, not just because we say you 259 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: go to work when we get to stay home, but 260 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: because they are essential to making our communities run, to 261 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: making them better, to making them beautiful. Right. So it's 262 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: just a reminder that sometimes pull yourself away from cable news, 263 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: from the headlines and see what's going on next door, 264 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: across the street. Connect with your neighbors, right, not just 265 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 1: the ones that you like, but introduce yourselves to the 266 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: ones you don't know. Because the idea is for us 267 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: to really connect in real life so that we are 268 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: not led astray by the life that are told to 269 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: us about the people that live down the street. The 270 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: only way that they get away with those lies is 271 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: when we get locked into our own fear and our 272 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: own bigotry. That's how they win. The more that we 273 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: decide to break down the doors in between ourselves and 274 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: other people and other groups, the less likely their tactics 275 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: are to work. So that is my reminder for this week. 276 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: That is it for me, dear friends on Woke af 277 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: For those of you watching in this video on my 278 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: Patreon site, do comment under the video below and let 279 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: me know what you are saying, fucket too or what 280 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: you are feeling on this good, good Friday.
