You all listen to me. I am so 12 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: over columns like the one that was recently written by 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: David Frum in the Atlantic that wants us to somehow 14 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: believe that there are some good Republicans that still exist 15 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: in office. His article was about the Colorado State Supreme 16 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: Court providing Republicans within out to get rid of Donald 17 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: Trump once and for all. And the article assumes that 18 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: there are Republicans that are not aligned with Donald Trump, 19 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: that somehow they're being held hostage by Donald Trump and 20 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: MAGA and they're just looking praying for somebody to show 21 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: them the light towards democracy and liberation. Can we cut 22 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the bullshit please and just stop with the fantasy. I 23 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: think that it is really hard for people in the 24 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: media to wrap their minds around the fact that one 25 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: of the two political parties in this country has turned 26 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: into an absolute and unabated cult, that they are not 27 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: mincing words, that we don't have to do this laborious 28 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: work of turning ourselves into pretzels to try and part 29 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: and parcel out what they are saying and try and 30 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: figure out what they mean. It's not a guy that 31 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: you can't figure out whether or not or a girl, 32 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: whether or not you're dating them, if they're into you. No, 33 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: they're telling you very fucking clearly, I don't want to 34 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: fuck with you. If you are not white, if you 35 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: are not straight, if you are not sis, if you 36 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: are not Christian, if you don't believe wholeheartedly in the 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: Second Amendment and the fact that kids, you know, it 38 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're murdered in their classrooms. If you 39 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: don't believe that a woman should you know, suffer death 40 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: in order to give birth to a non viable fetus. 41 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: If you don't exist inside of their white supreme fascist patriarchal, misogynist, 42 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: hateful spear. They're not trying to fuck with you. I 43 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: don't know how much more clear that they need to 44 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: make it so everyone this week right has been trying 45 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: to say that, oh, Donald Trump has echoes of Hitler 46 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: and echoes of fascism and echoes of Nazism a mom like, 47 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: when does the echo stop? And it's just what is 48 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: coming out of his mouth, right, it doesn't resemble said thing. 49 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: It is said thing. It doesn't echo of fascism. It's 50 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: not racially fucking tinged. It's just racist. Like, when are 51 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: we allowed to just fucking say what it is instead 52 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: of wasting so much energy and frankly, so much fucking 53 00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: ink coming up with some other reason as to why 54 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: like X, Y or Z can't possibly be what it 55 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: is that they're saying. Maya angelou, right, we say this 56 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: quote all the time. Take it to fucking heart. When 57 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: people show you who they are, When people tell you 58 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: who they are, believe them right, don't believe the idea 59 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: that you have projected onto them of who you would 60 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: like them to be, how better you would like them 61 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: to be than what it is that they are fucking 62 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: showing you that goes for our representatives as well as 63 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: people in your lives, your family, your friends, you know, 64 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: your significant others. If people are consistently showing up to 65 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: you as less, then they are less right. And if 66 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: you want more, then that ain't the place that you 67 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: gotta go find it. You know what I'm saying. You 68 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: gotta look elsewhere because you can still keep tapping a tree, 69 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: but it's a bank coming out my friends. Do you 70 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Ain't nothing sweet left there? So 71 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I am at a loss when I see these fucking articles. Now, 72 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: what are we Eight years into MAGA supremacy? Right, eight 73 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: years into this and people are still convinced that somewhere 74 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: under some rock, in the back of some closet, right 75 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: in some you know place, there is a Republican that 76 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: is looking for an out from MAGA. I will tell 77 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: you who those Republicans are, because they're no longer in office. 78 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: Mid Romney, who just announced that he's not seeking reelection. 79 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: Oh we need fresh blood. It's because no one likes you, dude. 80 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: You are no longer the standard bearer, right, You're morales 81 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: and your values no longer fucking align with where this 82 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: party has gone. So you don't have a constituency, so 83 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you're out. Liz Cheney, who by the way, voted on 84 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: par with Donald Trump and magasm ninety percent of the time. 85 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: She's a fucking Cheney for God's sakes. But the one 86 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: thing that she wouldn't go along with was that the 87 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: election was stolen because she knew that if we started 88 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: to question our elections right, then what makes America America 89 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: would be no more, which is our trust and faith 90 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: in our institutions. So she's gone. Adam right Zillinger whatever 91 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: his name is, who also the other Republican that sat 92 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: on the January sixth Commission gone lost his seat. So 93 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: when we are looking around right for good Republicans, the 94 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: ones that were quote unquote good because they believed in 95 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: reality that Donald Trump lost the election, they no longer 96 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: hold any power. And for the ones that are rising 97 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: in their positions, like a Mike Johnson that came out 98 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: of fucking nowhere, why did he come out of nowhere 99 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Because he rose to power based on Donald Trump's lie. 100 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: That's how he got into office. So I just need 101 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: people at lists in corporate media to please stop with 102 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: the bullshit stories and can we all just get on 103 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: the same page. The Republican Party is null and void. 104 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: They are gone. They have jumped the shark. They are 105 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: over the cliff right, they are in the fucking bell 106 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: jar like they are looney fucking tunes. They are talking 107 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: about murder and redemption and violence and we need to 108 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: kill everybody. We need to burn people at the stake. 109 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is shit coming out of the mouths 110 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: of Nick Fuentes, who dined with Donald Trump, the known 111 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: white supremacist. You're going to these rallies. I saw a 112 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: clip on MSNBC talking about women belonging in the kitchen 113 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: and women have no place. Meanwhile, these fucking Republican women 114 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: are going to Turning Point, right, the major right wing conference, 115 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, what are you doing. I mean, 116 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: unless you're unless you're cruising for you know, you're good, 117 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: good white man, that's gonna suppress and oppress you right 118 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: and turn you into a baby making machine if you're 119 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: going there because you want to do what exactly, Because 120 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: when that young woman you all remember at Turning Point 121 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: this year raised her hand and talked about, oh, she 122 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: wants to be a brain surgeon or she wants to 123 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: do whatever, and She's just looking for advice on how 124 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: to be able to do both, and they told her 125 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: go hold a baby. And if that doesn't change your mind, 126 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: then like there's something wrong with you. I just don't 127 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: understand what these Republican women want, and especially the ones 128 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: that are even holding office, Like just your very existence 129 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: goes against what it is that these men want. Right, Like, 130 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: I guess you're nothing more than window dressing so that 131 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: they can say that they have a few, just like 132 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: they do it black Republicans. But it just makes me sick, 133 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: the fucking narrative that somehow, somewhere there is this battalion 134 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: of you know, of anti Maga Republicans that have some 135 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: type of power. They don't. So just give up the 136 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: fucking ghost so that we can move on to something else. Okay, 137 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the Colorado. Staying on Colorado for a minute, the Colorado 138 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decided to remove Donald Trump from the ballot 139 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: if in fact, the Supreme Court does not intervene by 140 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: January fourth, which I believe is the deadline that the 141 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of State has provided before they begin printing ballots 142 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: for the primary, Donald Trump won't be on there. And 143 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of pontificating that is going 144 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: on on the news right now about the avenues that 145 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: this corrupt, grifting ass Supreme Court contain. But you know, 146 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: let's understand Clarence Thomas ain recusing himself because his you know, 147 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: his sugar faucet, his sugar daddy wouldn't give him his 148 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: allowance if he did that. Alito has already told us, 149 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: you know what he does. I think that we just 150 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: saw that Justice Chief Justice John Roberts took all of 151 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: two minutes to read a ninety eight page decision. So 152 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: we know that these motherfuckers are not reading. They don't 153 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: give a fuck. They've already made their decisions about what 154 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: it is that they are doing to advance their own 155 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: cause they don't care about America. Right, So, this idea 156 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: that somehow this is going to be the thing that 157 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: removes Donald Trump from office, it's not. Three of the 158 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: members that are on the Supreme Court he put in. 159 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: He installed along with Mitch McConnell for these very reasons. Right, 160 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: so we know where this court is going. They're not 161 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: going to align with the American people. And as a 162 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: matter of fact, their alignment with Donald Trump and with 163 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: MAGA may be the final nail in their own coffin, 164 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: because you know what, authoritarian and dictators don't need a 165 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: fucking Supreme Court, right, looking at the rule of law, 166 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: the rule of law means nothing. It means whatever, whatever 167 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: it is the dictator says, it means right. If he 168 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: says comes out and says that the sky is fucking orange, 169 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, then the sky is fucking orange. That's just 170 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: the way that it is. So you don't need a 171 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court when you have a dictatorship. So you know, 172 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: we will see the Supreme Court is going to be 173 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: ruling on a couple of things. They also have Jack 174 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Smith's immunity case that Donald Trump has asked them not 175 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: to take up. Take your time, because you know, his 176 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: whole tactic is not to prove whether or not he 177 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: is innocent, because he knows that he's guilty as fucking sin. 178 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: It's just delay, delay, delay, So will they follow, you know, 179 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Donald Trump like they've been doing and just delay and 180 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: say they have too many important things on their docket. 181 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what could be more important, And then 182 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, preserving our elections. But you know they're on 183 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: their crusade to destroy every bit of progress that has 184 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: been made over the last sixty years. So maybe that includes, 185 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, the rights and responsibilities that the executive branch has. 186 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: We have no idea, you know, want to know what 187 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: I know? What I think is funny though not funny, 188 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: ha haa, just like funny. So Republicans come out and 189 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: they say, let the voters decide, right, like, we don't 190 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: decide these things in the courts. Let the voters decide. 191 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: Voters decide. Then they say, no, no, no, we got 192 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: to use the courts because the voters don't know what 193 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: they're doing because they didn't vote their way. So then 194 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: the courts decide, and then they're like no, no, no, no, no, 195 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: that's not how we decide democracy. What is funny here 196 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: is that they voted to open an impeachment inquiry into 197 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. We have no idea what the grounds of 198 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: that impeachment inquiry are. Details, who needs them, you know. 199 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: But the fact is that Republicans want two things at 200 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: the same time to be true, which sometimes can happen, 201 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: but in this instant can't. You can at once want 202 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: to impeach a president for being a criminal, but then 203 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: want the Supreme Court to say that whatever the president 204 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: does when they are president is not criminal. They want 205 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: to hold Biden accountable for his son's addiction and his 206 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: son's crimes because he is the son of the President 207 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: of the United States, so he must be responsible for 208 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: every movement that his son makes. They want to hold 209 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: him responsible for that right and get him out of office. 210 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: But then at the same time, Donald Trump is not 211 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: responsible for anything that he's done because the office of 212 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: the presidency provides you absolute cover. Which fucking one is it? 213 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: They don't know, they don't care. Right like this is 214 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: when you know that the rule of law doesn't matter. 215 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: It is bent to their will when they want it 216 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: to be, and then it's weaponized when they want it 217 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: to be. That's what we can look forward to in 218 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five if Donald Trump becomes president again, or 219 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: any Republican for that matter, becomes president, because that's exactly 220 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: what they will do. These people do not want a democracy. 221 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Democracy doesn't work for them because their ideas are not popular. 222 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: Democracy works when you create policies and a platform that 223 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: people can align themselves with. But you see, as people 224 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: have become more progressive, more open minded, and this country 225 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: has become browner, right their policies have become less and 226 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: less popular, so rather than create ideas that people could 227 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: get behind, they have decided to one take away people's 228 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: ability to vote two right institute like rules and policies 229 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: that can't be overturned, kick people out for speaking right like. 230 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: They have done everything that they can so that they 231 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: have the ability to pick their voter as opposed to 232 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: the voter picking the representative because their shit is not popular, 233 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: so they have to lie, they have to be underhanded, 234 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: they have to cheat, and they have to steal, and 235 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: they have to suppress. That's the only way that they 236 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: win because on the merits they fucking lose, and we 237 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: see it time and time and time again. The thing 238 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: that makes me nervous about this upcoming year are the 239 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: stances that the Biden administration is taking on foreign affairs 240 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: in fucking Gaza, with like just being okay with the 241 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: fucking genocide and thinking that somehow that's not going to 242 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: affect how people vote at home now. Historically, look, people 243 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: usually don't care about what is happening abroad. This fucking 244 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: case though, something very different, something very very very different 245 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: that goes to the core of who we are and 246 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: who we want to be as Americans. And that's the 247 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: thing that this current administration is not getting right, is 248 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: that like young people, particularly this generation Z right, the 249 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: younger age millennials, they are not trying to fuck with inauthenticity. Right. 250 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna walk and talk democracy, they want 251 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: you to walk and talk it every fucking where that 252 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: you go, not just when it is convenient, right. They 253 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: want people to take a stand or they will sit 254 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: the fuck down. And that's what we are in danger 255 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: of is not that Donald Trump has any of the 256 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: best ideas. It's that everyone is pissed off at the 257 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration and rightfully fucking so. And that unless we 258 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: can make the case compelling that unless you too want 259 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: to end up in an open air camp, unless you 260 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: too want to be going through two different types of security, 261 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: unless you too want to have different license plates for 262 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: different roads that you're allowed to go on and different 263 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: jobs that you are allowed to have, Unless you want 264 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: your life dictated to you and your self efficacy right 265 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: taken away from you in the way that it has 266 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: been taken away right in Israel and Palestine, like, unless 267 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: you want that to be your lived existence. You know, 268 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: maybe you'll think about voting for democracy and not a 269 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: fucking person, but go off, you know. So let me 270 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: close out with how I am feeling and I want 271 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: us as we all are winding down the year, and 272 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: WOKF has wonderful pre recorded holiday interviews, you know, to 273 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: keep you going while you're with family and friends and 274 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: vacationing and what have you. So don't you worry about that. 275 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: But I myself am absolutely taking a break, as is 276 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: my wonderful producer Andrew who Hall has been holding down 277 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: this show for years alongside me. Everyone needs a break, 278 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: and so I really encourage everyone to take a break 279 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: and to think out as you're looking ahead for next year, 280 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: what your incremental breaks will look like, right, because we 281 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: can't store up everything for you know, just two weeks 282 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: out of the year when we are consistently feel like 283 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: we're running for our lives. So I want people to 284 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: think about and plan for what is your relaxation, your 285 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: alignment look like on a daily basis, On a weekly basis, 286 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: how are you feeding yourself and ground yourself? What is 287 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: providing you hope and possibility? What is giving you breath 288 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to taking it? I want us to focus 289 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: on how we want to feel each day, each week, 290 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: each month. Understanding folks that we're not always going to 291 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: feel good. But the fact is is how we react 292 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: to not feeling good right, the tools that we have, 293 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the grounding that we have to know that we can 294 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: get to the other side. This year coming is going 295 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: to be extraordinarily hard. I am not going to lie 296 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: to you, right, And so if you know that, how 297 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: are you preparing for it? Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. I 298 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: will tell you that one of the things that I 299 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: have let go and am recommitting to is my health. 300 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: I have put on significant weight and it is making 301 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: me feel all types of ways. And I am recommitting 302 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: to not letting my quote unquote busy schedule because we're 303 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: all busy, Everyone is busy get in the way of 304 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: me taking care of myself or using my weekends to 305 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: consistently reward myself in a way that actually leaves my 306 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: body feeling sluggish and just you know, weighed down. And 307 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: so for me, you know, I am recommitting and this 308 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: is not a New Year's resolution, It is not any 309 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: of those things. But I know how difficult for me 310 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: this year is going to be. So I need to 311 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: be in my best emotional, physical, spiritual, mental shape in 312 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: order to be able to be as nimble as possible 313 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: to roll with what this year is going to bring. 314 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: And I encourage all of us, all of us to 315 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: do that because what happens is for me when I 316 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: get to a place of overwhelm, I you know, fall 317 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: back on really bad habits of overeating, over drinking, you know, 318 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: and just deciding that I don't really want to work 319 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: out today, I don't really want to do this, I 320 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: don't really want to do that.
