WEBVTT - The Best of the Worst

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>me your girl, Danny L. Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>this week is going to be a fuck it Friday,

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 1>because let me tell you something that I have so

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>much to get off of my chest so that I

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>can go into the weekend feeling lighter. You know, we

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>can go in feeling better, like, let's just get it

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>all out now and then we can move on with

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>our lives. But there is just so much to say

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>fuck it to. I don't even know where to start.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>So let's start with the Republican Debate, if in fact

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you decided to stomach that in I'm starting to feel

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>like people should start sending me gifts for having to

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>ingest so much bullshit on your all's behalf. I'm joking,

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of course, but Jesus Christ right, like I deserve a medal.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Start off with the Republican Debate, the second debate that

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>took place at the Ronald Reagan Library. Every single one

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Republicans on that stage are assholes. Every single

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>one of them is a bigot, every single one of

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>them is a transphobe. Every single one of them is

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a xenophobe, right. And so for the mainstream media to

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>continue to try and convince us that there is someone

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>in this field who is quote unquote better than Donald Trump,

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>what is their definition of better? Because every single one

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>of these people embraces trump Ism, even if they don't

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like Donald Trump. They embrace xenophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, they

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>embrace anti climate change policies. They are against voting right

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and people having access to the polls. They are against workers.

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>So I don't understand how we sit here and do

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>this bullshit horse racing kind of debate around who is

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the best of the worst, because that's what it is

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that we're doing. First of all, none of those people

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>on that stage are serious candidates for president of the

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>United States, Because in order to be a serious candidate

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>for president of the United States, you have to be

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>willing to knock down who is in first place, right like,

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to be willing and have the temerity and

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the tenacity to go after the number one spot. And

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 1>so how do these people go on stage do the

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>very least in trying to bring down Donald Trump? Literally,

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the man has just been named a fraud, which I'll

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>get to in a moment. He's a fucking grifter. He

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>has ninety one charges facing him, four indictments. Right, he's

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>been labeled as sexual assaulter. We already know that he's

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a liar. He was named as that as well. Can't

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>be trusted with fucking documents, can't be trusted with the

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>national intelligence of this country. You have a fucking shorgus

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>board of things to go after and attack about Donald

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump if in fact you are serious about being this

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>country's next commander in chief. But exactly what Donald Trump

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>said in his fraudulent ass appearance in Michigan where he

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>got together with a group of non union workers, some

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>of which were not even auto workers, holding up signs

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that they were because they were probably paid by

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the campaign. And that was aired out by the Detroit News.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So thank you for your good journalism. But Donald Trump

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>gets on that stage and says, these people don't look

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>like they're running for president. They look like they're running

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>for secretary of I don't know what, or to be

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>my vice president. He asked the audience, do you see

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>any vice presidential candidates in the bunch? I sure don't,

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And they laughed. That's what the rest of us think

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 1>about this Republican field, including Donald Trump. Do I see

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>a serious candidate for office in that bunch. No, I

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>think that every single one of them are auditioning to

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be the next I don't know, Hannity, the next Tucker

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Carlson on Fox News, because they seriously can't believe that

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>they are equipped to run this country, right when they

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>are not even equipped enough to tell the truth about

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump being bad for the Republican Party. Aside from

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris who his direct to camera like trying to be

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the tough guy and take on Donald Trump was just

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know, childish at best, but he

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>is the only person that's actually willing to call a

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>spade a spade. But he is not within a snowball

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>chance in l of becoming president of the United States.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 1>So he's up just up there for what comic relief

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and the Donald duck Sir, please don't just don't because

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the joke fell flat and it was stupid right at best.

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Haley and her like, I mean, just visible disdain

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and disgust for the zk Ramaswami. You know the fact

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that she said that she feels dumber after every exchange. Well,

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I can say that wholeheartedly about the entirety of the

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party. Anytime that one of those motherfuckers opened up

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>their mouths, I'm I'm certain that all of our IQs drop,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. So that's my first bucket is to you know,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>this Republican primary that we're all having to suffer through,

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 1>knowing good goddamn well that even if Donald Trump manages

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>to get convicted, tried and convicted and put in prison,

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans will still want him to run the country

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>from a federal penitentiary because there is not another suitable

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>person in the budge. And I would just argue there

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't a suitable Republican full stop period the Reagan days,

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>which also he was a terrible president. Great for white

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>America and great for the rich, but really fucking terrible

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>for everybody else. I want to talk about Lauren Bobert

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>now now that there are names that I would love

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to call Lauren Bobert, but I have class, so I'm

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>not going to call them out on this show. You

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>can imagine, you know, because I'm certain that you all

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>feel the same way. This person decided to take to

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the House floor to misgender a member of the Biden cabinet,

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the highest ranking transperson to utilize her time to dish

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>out some of the most hateful, transphobic, disgusting rhetoric I

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>think that I have ever heard, And here is my fuck.

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>It is that Lauren Bobert should have never been allowed

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to open up her fucking mouth on the house floor.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>One because of her disgusting, disgusting, fucking display at the

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Beetlejuice Uh performance right, like you have no class, no manners,

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>no kouth, and you are not deserving of the title

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of congress person like you are disgusting. So that's number one.

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Number two, the moment that she misgendered a member of

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Biden's administration, her fucking mic should have been cut off.

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>That kind of transphobic, hateful, and violent language has no

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>business inside of our Congress. I don't give a fuck

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>what these nasty motherfuckers say to each other, but they

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>sure as hell shouldn't be given a microphone and the

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>privilege of saying those things on the house floor and

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:58.239
<v Speaker 1>it being entered into the record. That was disgusting because,

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>like I've said on my other shows, if if you

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>were to take out the word trans and insert any

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>other marginalized group Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanic folks, Asian people,

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody other than trans people, which apparently is totally acceptable

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to be mocking and bigoted towards. That's okay, right, Apparently

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>with Americans it shouldn't be. Do you know the rate

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>at which trans people are murdered in this country, particularly

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 1>black trans women, It is like ten times something, staggering

0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the rate of murder, homelessness, right, poverty. So you're just

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>taking this group that only wants to live free in

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>this democracy inside of their own bodies, making a mockery

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and a target of them on the house floor, and

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>we think that that's acceptable. But if you or I

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>were to ever do that with any other group, if

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a Jewish person, she would be labeled as

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>an anti semi and probably kicked out of Congress if

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>she were to talk about that about black people. Even

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>though Marjorie Taylor Green, her other white trash fucking counterpart,

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>went on the House floor dreaming right against the highest

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>ranking black military official saying that they should be making

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>one dollar right because the military is woke. I can

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 1>think of no less woke entity than the United States military,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>these people, their level of disrespect. I am just folks.

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I wish, honestly, I wish that we lived in a

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>society where people cared about each other, right, where people

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>challenged themselves to be better, not where they were applauded

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>for playing to the bottom. I long for the days

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>where a Marshy Tailor Green and a Lauren Bobert would

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>have been laughed out of any election. I long for

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the days where we had political correctness and decorum. And

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even a person that believes in respectability politics.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't, you know, like the dress codes on the

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>floor and in I could care less, right, because what

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I care about is how these people vote. What I

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>care about is what they say, not what they put

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>on their bodies, except for Christen Cinema and the fucking

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ugly accidentum ves, But I digress. What they say prompts

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the behavior of their followers, right. They send out their

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>little signals we don't like this group, we don't like

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>these people. Why do you think that hate crimes against

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>trans people, against black people, against a people, against the

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Jewish community are on the rise. Every single marginalized group

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>has seen double digit increases in violence against that community

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:18.479
<v Speaker 1>as the violent rhetoric has been escalated by our supposed

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>elected officials and leaders. One plus one really does equal

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to regardless of whether or not you want to live

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>on Earth one or someplace on Earth iree where those

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>motherfuckers live. So the fact that we don't readily connect

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the dots and call these people out for inciting violence

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and using their platforms and their voices to do so

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>is bullshit. When I heard Laura like, I was so

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking floored that she was able to get make it

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>through that entire speech, No one, the person that was

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>sitting and presiding over the House did not stop her

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and say we do not condone that type of hateful

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric on the House floor. If you have real policy

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and real business and real issue to bring by all

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>means just to open up the mic to attack a

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>transmember of the Biden administration, no, should have never been

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>fucking allowed. But that again just goes to show you

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>what we think about trans people in this country, goes

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to show you why people like Ron de Santis are

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>able to pass hateful legislation against folks because people are like, well,

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know a transproved person and I think that

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>they're weird, right, and they're allowed to say and do that.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh it makes me uncomfortable. I can think of no

0:14:54.960 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>group braver. Honestly, they trans people that live on purpose

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>out loud when it would be so much easier for

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>them not to and know it wouldn't because you think

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>about how easy it would be to swallow the truth

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of who you are every fucking day. It's why people

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>kill themselves. I just you know, it's so gross where

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>we are. You know, it's so gross. And that's why

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I tell you all that it is so important to

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>take some space and time and create some distance between

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you and what these people are trying to do, which

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>is make us believe that everyone is as full as

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>hate and despair and disgust as they are, and I

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>know that that is not the truth. I want to

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>end today with a little, you know, with a little

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>feel good Friday, because I do recognize it is important

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to insert that at the end of the week. I

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>had the great opportunity to do a storytelling workshop for

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>trade unionists in Minnesota a week or so ago. And

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been to Minnesota before, probably just once before. And

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, as somebody from the East Coast, who's lived,

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, in Washington, d C. Has lived in New York,

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>has lived in Virginia. You have certain ideas about the Midwest, right,

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>based on nothing other than what the media tells us

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>about the Midwest. And me thinking, you know, as a

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>black queer woman going to these places and having an

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>idea about how these people, how people are and what

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>have you. I cannot express enough how pleasantly surprised like

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I was, and just a reminder of my own geographic bigotry,

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>right in terms of believing that because certain areas have

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>turned red, that that means that everyone in that state

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>is a bigot is not true? And I know that

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like you think, yeah, of course, Daniel da right,

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>But no, because the way that these areas have been

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>painted by the media by political parties would have you

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>believe that we're not just all out here trying to

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.719
<v Speaker 1>do the best that we can. Right, listening to these

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>trade unionists, from cafeteria workers to janital janitors, to teachers'

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>aides and what have you, just people doing the best

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.679
<v Speaker 1>that they can to provide for themselves and their family

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and just wanting to have a living wage, wanting to

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>be of service, even if that service isn't highly paid,

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>but the payment is in just feeling good about the

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>work that you do every day and just wanting to

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 1>have some dignity attached to that, and being out in

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the field actually talking to real people. Right. And when

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I say real people, I don't mean like the real Americans.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>I just mean moving away from listening to talking heads

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>all the time, moving away from listening to the nasty,

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 1>disgusting rhetoric coming out of Republicans' mouths, and actually talking

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to real people, you know, with lives and kids and

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>families and jobs and hopes and dreams. And it was

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>such a beautiful reminder of like what I try and

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>fight for. Why I am talking is because everyone should

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 1>have the opportunity to be able to live the life

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that they want to go to work and feel seen

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and feel heard and feel valued. That's why people are

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>on strike. It's not that folks hate the rich. Good

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>for fucking you, But when your enormous wealth comes off

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of the sweat and tears and sacrifice of the working class,

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and you in return provide them not even with a

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 1>living wage and benefits so that they can keep working,

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to make you wealthy because your greed has just gotten

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>has just taken over. It's ridiculous to me. And so

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.640
<v Speaker 1>it was just such a wonderful reminder to be in

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this state and interact with so many beautiful spirits doing

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like literal God's work in all honesty, and you know,

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>like looking at their jobs as more than just jobs,

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>but they are literally what makes communities run. Right. These

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 1>are the people that do the work that when they're

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 1>do it and they do it well, nobody notices. But

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 1>when something isn't picked up or done or fixed, then

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, it throws a wrench in everything else.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.640
<v Speaker 1>These people are essential, not just because we say you

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>go to work when we get to stay home, but

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>because they are essential to making our communities run, to

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>making them better, to making them beautiful. Right. So it's

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>just a reminder that sometimes pull yourself away from cable news,

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>from the headlines and see what's going on next door,

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>across the street. Connect with your neighbors, right, not just

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.719
<v Speaker 1>the ones that you like, but introduce yourselves to the

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>ones you don't know. Because the idea is for us

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to really connect in real life so that we are

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>not led astray by the life that are told to

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 1>us about the people that live down the street. The

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>only way that they get away with those lies is

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>when we get locked into our own fear and our

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>own bigotry. That's how they win. The more that we

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>decide to break down the doors in between ourselves and

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>other people and other groups, the less likely their tactics

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>are to work. So that is my reminder for this week.

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>That is it for me, dear friends on Woke af

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.159
