1 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Willgate f Daily with 2 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Meet Your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Brooklyn Bunker, Folks, 3 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: I start off today's show incredibly troubled about where we 4 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: are in the world right now. UM. Yesterday when the 5 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: news broke that Russia had indeed invaded Ukraine, UM, and 6 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: that everything that Putin has said that he would do, 7 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: as he was amassing one hundred and fifty thousand plush 8 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: troops around the Ukraine for the last couple of weeks, 9 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: as he was, you know, shoring up blood supplies, as 10 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: he was stationing tanks um ships, readying to attack. The 11 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: images that came out, that continue to come out and 12 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: will continue to grace all of the screens that we 13 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: look at day in and day out, are traumatizing. And 14 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: I say that because I have a series of knots 15 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: in my stomach and lump in my throat as I 16 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: record this right now, because I do not believe that 17 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: Americans understand the vast majority of Americans understand how serious 18 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: this is right now. What is often true about America 19 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: and Americans is that because we are so far away 20 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: from the rest of the world that you know, we 21 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: believe and eishly slow so that what happens in one 22 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 1: part of the world isn't going to affect us. That 23 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, I tweeted, I've been tweeting since the news broke, 24 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: since I woke up like many of you did yesterday, 25 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: and you're like, holy shit, war has broken out in Europe. 26 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: We haven't seen war at this escalated level, folks, as 27 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: many foreign affairs experts are saying since World War Two. 28 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: We understand because we've been following Putin's moves since he 29 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: seized power in Russia, that he, much like Republicans in 30 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: this country, plays the long game. The USSR was broken apart, 31 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: fell apart many many years ago, right, and yet through 32 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: the desires of one meglomaniac, he is and has been 33 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: steadily moving towards his goal of a united Russia, right, 34 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: a restored superpower. And you know when President Biden took 35 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: to the Newswaves yesterday to essentially, you know, speak to 36 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the American people and speak to the world and say 37 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: that the most severe sanctions are being placed against Russia 38 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: and that it will cripple Russia's economy. And you already 39 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: see where their stock market has gone even though we 40 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: know even in this country that the stock market is 41 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: not indicative necessarily of the steadiness right of the country, 42 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: because not everybody has money in the market, and the 43 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: damn shure don't in Russia. But I think that what's 44 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: important to note here is that sanctions take months to 45 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: have impact act, and we're talking about the Ukraine having 46 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: ninety six hours until capitals start to fall to the 47 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: weight of Russian aggression. We're talking about images of people 48 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: who yesterday had used the subways to get to work, 49 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: to go shopping, to see friends, to see family, just 50 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: to go about their days, that the subways have now 51 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: turned into bomb shelters because there aren't enough bomb shelters 52 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: in parts of the Ukraine. You're talking about people who, 53 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: for the last thirty forty years have been an independent nation, 54 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: many of whom or our ages, who have never experienced war. 55 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: It has only been something that has been a part 56 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: of their history books. And so when they woke up 57 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: to air raid sirens, when they woke up, no doubt 58 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: to their phones pinging left and right about what has happened. 59 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: Imagine the fear of looking around your apartment, your home, 60 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: and out the window and seeing plumes of smoke, seeing 61 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: and hearing sirens going off, getting texts and phone calls 62 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: that are saying are you safe, get out, but not 63 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: knowing where the fuck you were going to go when 64 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: you went to bed last night, You, like everybody else 65 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: in the world, is thinking about, Oh, what's on my 66 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: to do list tomorrow? Not do I have a go bag? 67 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: And am I going to be able to ever see 68 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: my city, my town, my home, my friends, my family 69 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: again as you are now using your normal metro subway 70 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: stop as a bombshelter. You know, sometimes I think that 71 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: in America, we look and we watch things that are 72 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: happening in other countries, and we have this sense of 73 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: superiority that like, oh, look at them. Oh I'm so 74 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: sad for them, But that could never happen here. And 75 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, if I had the ability to 76 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: drive around with a truck with a big fucking speaker 77 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: on top of it, up and down every street in 78 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: America railing with an alarm that's saying wake the fuck up, 79 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: everything that you think could never happen is happening. I 80 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: never thought that a billion animals would perish in a 81 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: fire that is caused by climate change and the world 82 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: be outraged for two seconds and then go off to 83 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: what they were doing. I never thought that we would 84 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: be living in a global health pandemic where for a 85 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: year and a half, our kids, our life, everything stopped, 86 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: and our screens became the only way for us to 87 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: stay in contact with the people that we love because 88 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: there's a killer virus outside that we can't see, that 89 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: we can't touch, but because of it, we can't see 90 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: and touch each other. And that has happened. I never 91 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: believe that America would elect a man who outwardly talked 92 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: about grabbing women by the pussy. I never thought that 93 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: a political party, an American political party, would be touting 94 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: the talking points of our biggest foe. If there's nothing 95 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: else that you've ever learned in history, if there's nothing 96 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: else that you even remember, the thing that I've always 97 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: known is that Russia is an aggressor and has always 98 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: been our enemy. Right, they wanted authoritarianism to reign supreme 99 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: around the world with that country at the helm. Right 100 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: manifest destiny in the United States in the eighteen hundreds 101 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: was about spreading democracy. But don't get it twisted. America 102 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: has always had economic interest in the places that it 103 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: had quote unquote spread to to secure democracy. But never 104 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the 105 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: President of the United States, the former twice impeach president 106 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: of the United States, would get on the phone and 107 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: outwardly try and like muse his muscle to get what 108 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: he needed from foreign nations. I never thought that the 109 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: White House would turn into some type of Vegas fucking 110 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: slot machine. But here we are. So I don't want 111 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: any of us to be looking at what is going 112 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: on in the Ukraine and think to ourselves, well, at 113 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: least I'm not there, because a year ago we saw 114 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: our capital building enveloped in a plume of smoke. We 115 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: saw the Michigan State capital under siege. Right now, as 116 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: I speak, there are caravans not filled with Mexican immigrants, 117 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: as Republicans had told us and fearmongered would happen if 118 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton became president of the United States. No, those 119 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: caravans right are headed from South Carolina. Is headed from 120 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: South California to Washington, DC to mirror what has been 121 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: going on in Ottawa, Canada. The caravan is filled with 122 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: American citizens that are ready to lay siege to an 123 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: American city. Our own Republican politicians have told us, we 124 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: have more guns and bullets on our side than you do. 125 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: They have been chomping at the bit for another civil war, 126 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: another crack at the knot. They are so greedy for 127 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: power and so entwined in white supremacy that they are 128 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: emulating the actions of America's biggest enemy and upholding Vladimir 129 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: Putin as their true president, as a leader that they 130 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: want to see in America. When I tell you that 131 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: we are living in the most unstable times this world, 132 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: I think has ever seen this confluence of crisis and 133 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: fucking disaster. This is what I'm talking about. You know, 134 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: yesterday I spent most of the day in tears because 135 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: most people don't know. I'm an extreme EmPATH, right, meaning 136 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: that I care deeply about what is going on, and 137 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I feel it in every cell in my body. Because 138 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: I know that Ukraine is foreshadowing. I know that Ottawa, 139 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Canada is foreshadowing. I know that hungry is foreshadowing. And 140 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: I know that Republicans have been saying the quiet part 141 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: out loud on a speaker for the last five years, 142 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: and America isn't paying attention. This week. We have seen 143 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: so much Yesterday, earlier in the week, excuse me, I railed, 144 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: railed against what the new Manhattan District Attorney is doing. 145 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: Then I had some he tell me, oh, good job 146 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: focusing on midterms when fascism is spreading around the world, 147 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: And I'm like, are you fucking dumb? Do you not 148 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: see the fucking connections between what Republicans are doing in 149 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: the United States right now and how it is a 150 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: part of the fascism that is spreading around the world, 151 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: how they are apart and pawn in Putin's larger game. 152 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: Do you not see the connection here? And if you don't, 153 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: I am sorry, But my god, you're listening to Tucker 154 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: Carlson on Fox News. I mean it is as if 155 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: Putin is actually speaking from his voice. He has his 156 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: hand up Tucker Carlson's back like a fucking muppet, opening 157 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: up his mouth and just coming out of it, singing 158 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: the praises of Russia, saying to the millions of Americans 159 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: that watch him and listen with bated breath to every 160 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: fucking lie that comes out of that man's mouth, they 161 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: are going against their own president. And what keeps me up, 162 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: what woke me up actually last night, and I had 163 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: to calm myself. The fuck down was Oh my god. 164 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: In World War Two, it took the deaths of six 165 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: million Jewish people in order to get the world to 166 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: pay attention to what Hitler was doing. Six million people, 167 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: what do you think? And that was That was when folks, 168 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: we were united as a nation against a common evil, 169 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: when the world democracies were united against a common threat. 170 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: We are an divided nation. Putin began his ploy to 171 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: divide America years ago. The twenty sixteen election was just 172 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: his first act of war. Do we not see that now? 173 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: We saw it then, Hillary Clinton warned us. Then there 174 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: are clips going around right now of interviews that she 175 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: gave to lay out the dangers that were ahead if 176 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: you were to elect somebody who was so cozy and 177 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: enamored with fucking dictators. The first step was to turn 178 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: neighbor against neighbor and spread as much disinformation as possible. 179 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Because a weakened and divided America right is easily pushed 180 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: over a weekend, and divided America does not have the 181 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: fortitude to lead the charge against a blood thirsty Russia 182 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: because we're too busy putting out fires in our literal 183 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and figurative fires in our own backyard, fighting against each other, 184 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: that we don't have the capacity, we don't have the 185 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: fucking bandwidth to then be paying attention to what is 186 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: happening at seas you had Vladimir Putin get on Russian 187 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: television and saying, bet so you all try and intervene 188 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: with what I am doing in the Ukraine, and you 189 00:15:52,840 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: will be sorry, because the fingerprints that that motherfucker had 190 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: all over the twenty sixteen election, he has now dug 191 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: his hands in and the Republican Party has welcomed him 192 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: with open arms. There has never been a time, never 193 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: been a time, I would ask any historian, at what 194 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: point in time in America when we were faced with 195 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: outside opposition, did you have internal power applauding the opposition. 196 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump stood before a ball room of his fans 197 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: where he said that Putin just recently, folks, I mean 198 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: this week, that he's strong, he's a leader. And all 199 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: I want is for Democrats to take the sound and 200 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: the visuals of that and have a split screen of 201 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: the bombs being dropped overhead in Keith right, being dropped 202 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: overhead in all of these Ukrainian cities, as you have 203 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson saying, oh, we need to be concerned with 204 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: woke culture because Putin's doing just fine. If folks don't 205 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: see what is happening here, that the war that Republicans 206 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: are waging is much bigger than the start of book 207 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: banning and putting a target on the back of trans youth, 208 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: which is what Governor Abbott just did. That all of 209 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: these things that don't say a bill, they are ticking 210 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: off for you who in the society is expendable in 211 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: the same way that the Nazis were ticking off to 212 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: the Germans. Why you shouldn't give a fuck about your 213 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: Jewish neighbor down the street. And then when that person 214 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: is gone, poof, at least my home is still around. 215 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: At least I'm still here. Republicans are following the playbook 216 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: of going after the most vulnerable among us, seeing how 217 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: far they can go, how much they can push without 218 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: receiving intense pushback from all sides. They just passed in 219 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: the Florida House. Don't say gay bill soon, folks, phil 220 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: pass they don't be gay bill. If you can recall 221 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: from history McCarthy right, Joseph McCarthy, the architect of McCarthyism, 222 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: had a list a list of people whom he blacklisted, 223 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: whom he said were gay or intellectuals, or Communist sympathizers 224 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: or blah blah blah blah blah. So how soon do 225 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: you think it will be before Republicans begin the other 226 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: phase of their campaign? As soon as they get power back, 227 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: which is in a handful of months, America will become 228 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: unrecord noticeable. And so as we watch what is taking 229 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: place in in the Ukraine with shock and with horror, 230 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: understand that it is possible, more than possible, that soon 231 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the world will be watching America with 232 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: the same terror, watching as our streets fill with terrified 233 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: citizens who have never had to have a plan of 234 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: where to go and how to get out of harm's 235 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: way before, outside of preparing for national disasters. What do 236 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: you think happens if Republicans part of their master plan 237 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: is to get all of the truckers, all of the 238 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: ex military, all of the x and active military and 239 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement in this country to gather and to start 240 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: to take siege of cities that are controlled right by 241 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: blue state governors. That they start little by little to 242 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: occupy certain areas, that being the first step. And we say, oh, 243 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: but they have a freedom to protest. But we don't understand. 244 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: We're not really paying attention to the bigger picture. You see, 245 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: these people have been activated. Donald Trump activated them in 246 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. The insurrection in twenty twenty one emboldened them. 247 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: Almost a year and a half later, we're looking around 248 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: for accountability and I see none, which emboldens them even 249 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: further because now they know where to tighten up, in 250 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: how to tighten up. These people are ready for war? 251 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: Are you? Because I know that I'm not. As I 252 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: lay in bed last night and I think to myself, 253 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: holy shit, what if I were to wake up tomorrow 254 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: and there were air sirens going off? Do we even 255 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: have air sirens in New York? Was followed by my 256 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: second thought, where would I be going? My family lives 257 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: on Long Island, in actual fucking island, right, That doesn't 258 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: help us navigate and move out of anywhere. Where would 259 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: you go if in the middle of the night, at 260 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: three to four in the morning sirens were going off 261 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: and you knew, well, it's not a tornado and it's 262 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: I see the stars and it's not a hurricane coming. 263 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: What the fuck is that? You turn on the news, 264 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: you look at your phone, and alert after alert after 265 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: alert is coming in that there's been a takeover, that 266 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: there's been a siege. What are you packing? Is your 267 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: car if you have one, as it filled with gas? 268 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: Do you have cash stored away in your home? In 269 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: the event that Russia has waged a cyber attack like 270 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: the one we saw with the pipelines, which a couple 271 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: of months ago, I said to myself, Holy shit, pipelines 272 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: can be hacked. Everything can be hacked. So you think 273 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: that we're here and we're secure and all of us. 274 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Now you're going out to the corner store to your 275 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: local bank and there are a legions of people thinking 276 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: and trying to do the same goddamn thing. And now 277 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: the bank has run out of money and they're turning 278 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: people away. So you hop in your car and you 279 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: go and you start going, but you don't know what 280 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: direction to go in, Where is safe? What does safety 281 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: look like? This is what is happening right now all 282 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: over Ukraine. This is what has been happening in countries 283 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: we don't even care about. There's been a war waging 284 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: in Ethiopia for the last several months, tens of thousands 285 00:24:50,920 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: of people have died. We hear nothing. I sit here 286 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: and I'm following the news, and I am thinking to myself, 287 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: is this the beginning of the actual end? When it 288 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: was World War Two? In the beginning, did people know? 289 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: Were there folks that had a sinking feeling? Because those 290 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: were the people that fled early, that began to see 291 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: the writing on the wall and started to see the 292 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: closing in. And then there were the others that couldn't 293 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: possibly imagine picking up and going where to do? What? 294 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: We are about to have yet another refugee crisis in 295 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: this world. Every several months we have another refugee crisis. 296 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: We just just we're on the news where the ticker 297 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: switch out fucking Ukraine and put in Afghanistan. Twenty years 298 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: of quote unquote democracy in Afghanistan and it fell in 299 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: twenty two fucking hours. Do we think that sanctions alone 300 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: as severe as we think that they are. Do we 301 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: think that that is going to stop a madman that 302 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: has had a vision in his mind for the last 303 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: three decades. Do we think that Putin hasn't anticipated what 304 00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: cut off from the world's resources would do. This. Motherfucker 305 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: is sitting on multiple oligarchs right with a combination of 306 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: hundreds a collective of hundreds of billions of dollars, not 307 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: to mention whatever other backdoor deals this motherfucker has been 308 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: making and planning. President Biden was asked yesterday in the 309 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: press conference, do you think there are more countries that 310 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: Putin has in mind? Do you think that he's going 311 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: after more than the Ukraine? Biden didn't stutter, He didn't 312 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: even blink. He said, yes, he is coming for it all. 313 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: And there are forces within each of the places that 314 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: he is going to pick off where he has reinforcements, 315 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: hundreds of billions at your disposal with probably talk to 316 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: the oligarchs that you can return to greatness. I will 317 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: restore your legacy and your power. He is their great 318 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: white hope. Because this isn't just about a power grab, 319 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: It is about what kind of power grab this is. 320 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: It is a white domination power grab. It is about 321 00:28:52,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: a cleansing of who he deems to be a little 322 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: in his way, not up to his ideals of just 323 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: the right type of person. Now, it may not be 324 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: akin to Hitler's Aryan Dreams and Vision but it's sure 325 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: as fuck is white, and it's sure as fuck is 326 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: about the right kind of white. He's spreading the lies about, oh, 327 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: we need to go into the Ukraine because we need 328 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: to scrub out the Nazis. What they're doing genocide. Point 329 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: to it. Where's it happening? Show us the evidence. You 330 00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: have these brave people in Russia yesterday, hundreds of them, 331 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: thousands of them flooding into the streets to protest because 332 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: they see the Ukrainians as their brother. Why why are 333 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: we fighting our brother? We are family. Millions of Ukrainians 334 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: live in Russia. Thousands were arrested. Do you know what 335 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: they do to protesters in Russia? It ain't great, It 336 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: ain't you know, the plastic on the risk like we 337 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 1: see here. It isn't even like mild tear gas. Not 338 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: to say that tear gas is mild. But you know, 339 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: we have laws, or at least some people have laws 340 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: in this country. We know that definitely. Other people don't 341 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: fucking abide by them. But they are laws to how, 342 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: at least right now, how we treat people that protest. 343 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: But you know that those red state governors like Desantists 344 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: said welcome, drive over them. We'll make sure you're not prosecuted. 345 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump said, beat the hell out of reporters. I'll 346 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: pay your legal fees. They are careening towards authoritarianism with right. 347 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: They don't want any dissent because then they're going to 348 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: start to label those that have dissent as what enemies 349 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: of the state. And when they have the gavel back, 350 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: all the gavels back, what do you think they're going 351 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: to do with them. They're going to beat our democracy 352 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: to death and ensure that anyone that pops up as 353 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: a revolutionary, as an activist, as a leader is scrubbed out. 354 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: This is where this is heading. So we can't look 355 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: and watch what is happening in the Ukraine as if 356 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: it's a movie, right, something that couldn't possibly happen here. 357 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: It's like World War Z. No, it's not. It's not 358 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: a video game. It's not a movie. It's the real 359 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: life consequences of what happens when we don't stop the enemies, 360 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: when we have a chance, when we don't actually know 361 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: who our enemies are, we are in danger. There is 362 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: no other way to relay that. We all, the collective, we, 363 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: the global we who believe in democracy are in danger 364 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: because I'm starting to feel like a global minority in 365 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: terms of my feeling about government foreign by the people. 366 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: If America falls, every other smaller democratic nation falls with it. 367 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: And when I hear reporters and analysts say that with 368 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: next week's State of the Union that the president has 369 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: to find a way to tell the American people why 370 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: democracy is important, all I can think about is how 371 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: our public school system has been a complete and total failure. 372 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: If you don't understand why this is so important, we 373 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: haven't told you why. We haven't taught you about why 374 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: we've only beat into you rugged individualism. We haven't talked 375 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: about the collective we. You don't learn about the collective we. 376 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: You get told tales and stories about America's exceptionalism and greatness, 377 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: but you don't get taught about what would happen if 378 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: America's story wasn't actually true, and if we were more 379 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: susceptible to fascism then was led on that over the 380 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: past several decades, that there has been an erosion of 381 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: our civil liberties and rights, and that that erosion then 382 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: has been manipulated and used by our enemies. You know, 383 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: the other news that broke that's not getting play. Eight 384 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: Chinese aircrafts in Taiwanese airspace. Now, eight doesn't seem like 385 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: a big number, but it was a big enough number 386 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 1: for Taiwan to go on high alert and wonder if 387 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: this was the beginning of a move that China was 388 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: going to try and make to you know, grab power back. 389 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: And I said to myself as I saw that tweet 390 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: come across my timeline, I said, oh shit, what if 391 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: this really is a coordinated effort? What if the thoughts 392 00:35:54,480 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: of some foreign affairs experts are what happens? If there 393 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: is actually a coordinated effort between Russia and China. You 394 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: help me over here, I help you over there. We 395 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: can split the world in half. It's not a movie, folks. 396 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: This is not clear in present danger. I mean, we 397 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: are in clear and present danger. But I think that 398 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: we have gotten so caught up with watching things play 399 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: out across the world while we go about our daily 400 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: lives that we don't see how interconnected we all are. 401 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: The only way that we ever get up in arms 402 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: about how we are interconnected is when we actually feel 403 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: the economic right downfall of what is happening in another country. 404 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: Did you know that Russia is the biggest producer of 405 00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: oil next to the Middle East. If there is some 406 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: type of death nail that happens to Russia's oil production, 407 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: that beyond our barrels being at one hundred dollars a 408 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: barrel for oil right now, that they could skyrocket out 409 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: of control. That they are all ready as reported by CNN, 410 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: four states right now that are seeing oil prices at 411 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: four dollars a fucking gallon. This is one of the 412 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: reasons why the Green New Deal was popular because you see, 413 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: if you eliminate, if you eliminate our need for crude 414 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: oil and dependency on these authoritarian regimes, and we find 415 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: other sources of power like solar and wind, then then 416 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: we eliminate their ability to be able to manipulate us 417 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: and we don't fall into economics bare when they fall, 418 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: and that they can't use right that power source as 419 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: a way to push us off of their escalation and aggression. 420 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: Do we get that, No, because it's not spelled out 421 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: in that way. It's like, oh, look at those lefties 422 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: over there that want to hug trees and you know, 423 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: drink fresh water and breathe clean air. It's not like, oh, look, 424 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: you mean, if we're not attached to the tit of 425 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: fucking Saudi Arabia and Russia and we're not all continuing 426 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: to drive around these gas guzzlers, that then they can't 427 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: manipulate and control us in the same way. This is 428 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: what I say, This is what I mean when I 429 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: say that things are all connected and that we need 430 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: to stop looking at these issues in silos, because Putin 431 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: shure as fuck isn't Republicans certainly are not. The thing 432 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: that they both have in cotton in common Putin and 433 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: Republicans is their long game. And the question that I 434 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: have is what is the Democrats long game? What is 435 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: their vision, what is their want and desire, and what 436 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: are they willing to do to sacrifice in order to 437 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: fucking get it? Right now, we're scrambling around about the 438 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: next couple of months heading up to midterms, and the 439 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: next couple of months after that heading up to the 440 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four presidential election. What about twenty thirty four 441 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: right and beyond? Because we need somebody, a team of 442 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: somebody's with the same type of fucking vision and focus 443 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: that Putin has. That's on our side, the side of democracy, 444 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: the side of the people, the side of equity, the 445 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: side of freedom, But right now I don't see any 446 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: and that is what is scaring the shit out of me. Now, 447 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: dear friends, for your woke moment of wellness. It has 448 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: been a heavy, heavy, heavy week. At every turn. The 449 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: headlines have been wild as fuck. War doesn't stop over 450 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: the weekend, neither do our anxieties abate themselves. I need 451 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: us to start focusing on how what is our plan? 452 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: Our plan to get through the dark times that we 453 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: know are ahead of us, because there is no denying 454 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: now the direction that things in this world, in this 455 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: country are headed. I need us to start preparing for 456 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: that emotionally, physically, spiritually. Right I laid out in the 457 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: show things that have started to pop into my mind, 458 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: like what are our plans if everything goes left? Do 459 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: you have one? We should start to think about what 460 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: those are meaning. If you were to wake up in 461 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: the middle of the morning with air raid sirens going off, 462 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: where are you going? What are you doing? How are 463 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: you protecting your family? This is not me being hyperbolic. 464 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: This is me wanting to ensure that we start thinking 465 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: outside of our very narrow boxes about how we operate. 466 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: I have had a huge knot in the back of 467 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: my shoulder. As the week has progressed, I am taking 468 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: some time this weekend to go see a massuse because 469 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: I can. In the time being, what do you need? 470 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 1: Those are the things that we need to start thinking about. 471 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: What do you need? Who is on your wellness team 472 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: to help keep you grounded, keep you sane but also practical. 473 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: There will be people around you who will think that 474 00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 1: you're crazy because they want a need to live into nial. 475 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: Denial is not safety, It is dangerous. So what do 476 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: you need in order to strengthen your body to still 477 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 1: your mind. For some people, it is preparing in any 478 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: way that they can to just get control and a 479 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: hold of things. Maybe it's just making sure that you 480 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: have a little bit more cash in your home than 481 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: you normally would, just in case. Maybe that is the 482 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: first baby step. Maybe it is checking in on your 483 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,479 Speaker 1: friends and your family and maybe setting up a WhatsApp chain. 484 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: Right what happens if how are you able to communicate? 485 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: If systems go down? Little things that help squell our anxiety. 486 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: We can't predict the future, but we sure as fuck 487 00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: can follow patterns. So, dear friends in this woke moment 488 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: of wellness. I say, do what is going to be 489 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: necessary for you to begin to think and action and 490 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 1: put action behind your safety, your emotional safety, your physical safety. 491 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: That is it for me today.
