WEBVTT - An Extraordinarily Hard Year

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to will Kate f Daily

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>with me your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Happy fuck It Friday, my friends, Happy feel it Friday.

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>It is the Friday before Chris Smith for those that celebrate.

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And dear God, I have been waiting for this week

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>to come to an end. You have no idea, or

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe you do, because this week, this year, this month

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 1>has just been tiring, exhausting, and so first off, let

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>me go to my buckets and then I'll end with

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>some feel it unless my fuckets take over, which sometimes

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>they do. You all listen to me. I am so

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>over columns like the one that was recently written by

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>David Frum in the Atlantic that wants us to somehow

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>believe that there are some good Republicans that still exist

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>in office. His article was about the Colorado State Supreme

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Court providing Republicans within out to get rid of Donald

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump once and for all. And the article assumes that

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>there are Republicans that are not aligned with Donald Trump,

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that somehow they're being held hostage by Donald Trump and

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>MAGA and they're just looking praying for somebody to show

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>them the light towards democracy and liberation. Can we cut

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the bullshit please and just stop with the fantasy. I

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>think that it is really hard for people in the

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>media to wrap their minds around the fact that one

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of the two political parties in this country has turned

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>into an absolute and unabated cult, that they are not

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>mincing words, that we don't have to do this laborious

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>work of turning ourselves into pretzels to try and part

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and parcel out what they are saying and try and

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>figure out what they mean. It's not a guy that

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't figure out whether or not or a girl,

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>whether or not you're dating them, if they're into you. No,

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they're telling you very fucking clearly, I don't want to

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>fuck with you. If you are not white, if you

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>are not straight, if you are not sis, if you

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>are not Christian, if you don't believe wholeheartedly in the

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Second Amendment and the fact that kids, you know, it

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter if they're murdered in their classrooms. If you

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>don't believe that a woman should you know, suffer death

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in order to give birth to a non viable fetus.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>If you don't exist inside of their white supreme fascist patriarchal, misogynist,

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>hateful spear. They're not trying to fuck with you. I

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much more clear that they need to

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>make it so everyone this week right has been trying

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to say that, oh, Donald Trump has echoes of Hitler

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and echoes of fascism and echoes of Nazism a mom like,

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>when does the echo stop? And it's just what is

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>coming out of his mouth, right, it doesn't resemble said thing.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>It is said thing. It doesn't echo of fascism. It's

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>not racially fucking tinged. It's just racist. Like, when are

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we allowed to just fucking say what it is instead

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>of wasting so much energy and frankly, so much fucking

0:03:53.440 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>ink coming up with some other reason as to why

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like X, Y or Z can't possibly be what it

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>is that they're saying. Maya angelou, right, we say this

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>quote all the time. Take it to fucking heart. When

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>people show you who they are, When people tell you

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>who they are, believe them right, don't believe the idea

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>that you have projected onto them of who you would

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>like them to be, how better you would like them

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to be than what it is that they are fucking

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>showing you that goes for our representatives as well as

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>people in your lives, your family, your friends, you know,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 1>your significant others. If people are consistently showing up to

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you as less, then they are less right. And if

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you want more, then that ain't the place that you

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>gotta go find it. You know what I'm saying. You

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta look elsewhere because you can still keep tapping a tree,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>but it's a bank coming out my friends. Do you

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying? Ain't nothing sweet left there? So

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I am at a loss when I see these fucking articles. Now,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>what are we Eight years into MAGA supremacy? Right, eight

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>years into this and people are still convinced that somewhere

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>under some rock, in the back of some closet, right

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>in some you know place, there is a Republican that

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>is looking for an out from MAGA. I will tell

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you who those Republicans are, because they're no longer in office.

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Mid Romney, who just announced that he's not seeking reelection.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh we need fresh blood. It's because no one likes you, dude.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You are no longer the standard bearer, right, You're morales

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and your values no longer fucking align with where this

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>party has gone. So you don't have a constituency, so

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you're out. Liz Cheney, who by the way, voted on

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>par with Donald Trump and magasm ninety percent of the time.

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>She's a fucking Cheney for God's sakes. But the one

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>thing that she wouldn't go along with was that the

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>election was stolen because she knew that if we started

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>to question our elections right, then what makes America America

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>would be no more, which is our trust and faith

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>in our institutions. So she's gone. Adam right Zillinger whatever

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:03.239
<v Speaker 1>his name is, who also the other Republican that sat

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>on the January sixth Commission gone lost his seat. So

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>when we are looking around right for good Republicans, the

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>ones that were quote unquote good because they believed in

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>reality that Donald Trump lost the election, they no longer

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>hold any power. And for the ones that are rising

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>in their positions, like a Mike Johnson that came out

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of fucking nowhere, why did he come out of nowhere

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Because he rose to power based on Donald Trump's lie.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>That's how he got into office. So I just need

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>people at lists in corporate media to please stop with

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the bullshit stories and can we all just get on

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the same page. The Republican Party is null and void.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>They are gone. They have jumped the shark. They are

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>over the cliff right, they are in the fucking bell

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>jar like they are looney fucking tunes. They are talking

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>about murder and redemption and violence and we need to

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 1>kill everybody. We need to burn people at the stake.

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is shit coming out of the mouths

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of Nick Fuentes, who dined with Donald Trump, the known

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>white supremacist. You're going to these rallies. I saw a

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>clip on MSNBC talking about women belonging in the kitchen

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and women have no place. Meanwhile, these fucking Republican women

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>are going to Turning Point, right, the major right wing conference,

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like, what are you doing. I mean,

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>unless you're unless you're cruising for you know, you're good,

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>good white man, that's gonna suppress and oppress you right

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and turn you into a baby making machine if you're

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>going there because you want to do what exactly, Because

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>when that young woman you all remember at Turning Point

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this year raised her hand and talked about, oh, she

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>wants to be a brain surgeon or she wants to

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>do whatever, and She's just looking for advice on how

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do both, and they told her

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>go hold a baby. And if that doesn't change your mind,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>then like there's something wrong with you. I just don't

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>understand what these Republican women want, and especially the ones

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that are even holding office, Like just your very existence

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>goes against what it is that these men want. Right, Like,

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess you're nothing more than window dressing so that

0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they can say that they have a few, just like

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>they do it black Republicans. But it just makes me sick,

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the fucking narrative that somehow, somewhere there is this battalion

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 1>of you know, of anti Maga Republicans that have some

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 1>type of power. They don't. So just give up the

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>fucking ghost so that we can move on to something else. Okay,

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the Colorado. Staying on Colorado for a minute, the Colorado

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court decided to remove Donald Trump from the ballot

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>if in fact, the Supreme Court does not intervene by

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>January fourth, which I believe is the deadline that the

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of State has provided before they begin printing ballots

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>for the primary, Donald Trump won't be on there. And

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of pontificating that is going

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>on on the news right now about the avenues that

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this corrupt, grifting ass Supreme Court contain. But you know,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>let's understand Clarence Thomas ain recusing himself because his you know,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>his sugar faucet, his sugar daddy wouldn't give him his

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>allowance if he did that. Alito has already told us,

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what he does. I think that we just

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>saw that Justice Chief Justice John Roberts took all of

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>two minutes to read a ninety eight page decision. So

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>we know that these motherfuckers are not reading. They don't

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck. They've already made their decisions about what

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it is that they are doing to advance their own

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 1>cause they don't care about America. Right, So, this idea

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that somehow this is going to be the thing that

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>removes Donald Trump from office, it's not. Three of the

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>members that are on the Supreme Court he put in.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>He installed along with Mitch McConnell for these very reasons. Right,

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>so we know where this court is going. They're not

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>going to align with the American people. And as a

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, their alignment with Donald Trump and with

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>MAGA may be the final nail in their own coffin,

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>because you know what, authoritarian and dictators don't need a

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>fucking Supreme Court, right, looking at the rule of law,

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the rule of law means nothing. It means whatever, whatever

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it is the dictator says, it means right. If he

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>says comes out and says that the sky is fucking orange,

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, then the sky is fucking orange. That's just

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the way that it is. So you don't need a

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court when you have a dictatorship. So you know,

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>we will see the Supreme Court is going to be

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>ruling on a couple of things. They also have Jack

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Smith's immunity case that Donald Trump has asked them not

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>to take up. Take your time, because you know, his

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>whole tactic is not to prove whether or not he

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is innocent, because he knows that he's guilty as fucking sin.

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>It's just delay, delay, delay, So will they follow, you know,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump like they've been doing and just delay and

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>say they have too many important things on their docket.

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what could be more important, And then

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, preserving our elections. But you know they're on

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>their crusade to destroy every bit of progress that has

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>been made over the last sixty years. So maybe that includes,

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, the rights and responsibilities that the executive branch has.

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>We have no idea, you know, want to know what

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I know? What I think is funny though not funny,

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>ha haa, just like funny. So Republicans come out and

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 1>they say, let the voters decide, right, like, we don't

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>decide these things in the courts. Let the voters decide.

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Voters decide. Then they say, no, no, no, we got

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to use the courts because the voters don't know what

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>they're doing because they didn't vote their way. So then

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the courts decide, and then they're like no, no, no, no, no,

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not how we decide democracy. What is funny here

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is that they voted to open an impeachment inquiry into

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. We have no idea what the grounds of

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that impeachment inquiry are. Details, who needs them, you know.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But the fact is that Republicans want two things at

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the same time to be true, which sometimes can happen,

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 1>but in this instant can't. You can at once want

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to impeach a president for being a criminal, but then

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 1>want the Supreme Court to say that whatever the president

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>does when they are president is not criminal. They want

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to hold Biden accountable for his son's addiction and his

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>son's crimes because he is the son of the President

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, so he must be responsible for

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>every movement that his son makes. They want to hold

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>him responsible for that right and get him out of office.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>But then at the same time, Donald Trump is not

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>responsible for anything that he's done because the office of

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the presidency provides you absolute cover. Which fucking one is it?

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>They don't know, they don't care. Right like this is

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>when you know that the rule of law doesn't matter.

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It is bent to their will when they want it

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to be, and then it's weaponized when they want it

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to be. That's what we can look forward to in

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five if Donald Trump becomes president again, or

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>any Republican for that matter, becomes president, because that's exactly

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>what they will do. These people do not want a democracy.

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Democracy doesn't work for them because their ideas are not popular.

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Democracy works when you create policies and a platform that

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>people can align themselves with. But you see, as people

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>have become more progressive, more open minded, and this country

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>has become browner, right their policies have become less and

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>less popular, so rather than create ideas that people could

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>get behind, they have decided to one take away people's

0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>ability to vote two right institute like rules and policies

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that can't be overturned, kick people out for speaking right like.

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>They have done everything that they can so that they

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to pick their voter as opposed to

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the voter picking the representative because their shit is not popular,

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>so they have to lie, they have to be underhanded,

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>they have to cheat, and they have to steal, and

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they have to suppress. That's the only way that they

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>win because on the merits they fucking lose, and we

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 1>see it time and time and time again. The thing

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that makes me nervous about this upcoming year are the

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>stances that the Biden administration is taking on foreign affairs

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in fucking Gaza, with like just being okay with the

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>fucking genocide and thinking that somehow that's not going to

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>affect how people vote at home now. Historically, look, people

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>usually don't care about what is happening abroad. This fucking

0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>case though, something very different, something very very very different

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.199
<v Speaker 1>that goes to the core of who we are and

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 1>who we want to be as Americans. And that's the

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 1>thing that this current administration is not getting right, is

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 1>that like young people, particularly this generation Z right, the

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>younger age millennials, they are not trying to fuck with inauthenticity. Right.

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>So if you're gonna walk and talk democracy, they want

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>you to walk and talk it every fucking where that

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you go, not just when it is convenient, right. They

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>want people to take a stand or they will sit

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:46.199
<v Speaker 1>the fuck down. And that's what we are in danger

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>of is not that Donald Trump has any of the

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>best ideas. It's that everyone is pissed off at the

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration and rightfully fucking so. And that unless we

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>can make the case compelling that unless you too want

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to end up in an open air camp, unless you

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>too want to be going through two different types of security,

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 1>unless you too want to have different license plates for

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 1>different roads that you're allowed to go on and different

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>jobs that you are allowed to have, Unless you want

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>your life dictated to you and your self efficacy right

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>taken away from you in the way that it has

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>been taken away right in Israel and Palestine, like, unless

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you want that to be your lived existence. You know,

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe you'll think about voting for democracy and not a

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking person, but go off, you know. So let me

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>close out with how I am feeling and I want

0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.119
<v Speaker 1>us as we all are winding down the year, and

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>WOKF has wonderful pre recorded holiday interviews, you know, to

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 1>keep you going while you're with family and friends and

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>vacationing and what have you. So don't you worry about that.

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.679
<v Speaker 1>But I myself am absolutely taking a break, as is

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>my wonderful producer Andrew who Hall has been holding down

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:26.479
<v Speaker 1>this show for years alongside me. Everyone needs a break,

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and so I really encourage everyone to take a break

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and to think out as you're looking ahead for next year,

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>what your incremental breaks will look like, right, because we

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 1>can't store up everything for you know, just two weeks

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>out of the year when we are consistently feel like

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>we're running for our lives. So I want people to

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:53.160
<v Speaker 1>think about and plan for what is your relaxation, your

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 1>alignment look like on a daily basis, On a weekly basis,

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 1>how are you feeding yourself and ground yourself? What is

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>providing you hope and possibility? What is giving you breath

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to taking it? I want us to focus

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 1>on how we want to feel each day, each week,

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.719
<v Speaker 1>each month. Understanding folks that we're not always going to

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>feel good. But the fact is is how we react

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to not feeling good right, the tools that we have,

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the grounding that we have to know that we can

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get to the other side. This year coming is going

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to be extraordinarily hard. I am not going to lie

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to you, right, And so if you know that, how

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:45.919
<v Speaker 1>are you preparing for it? Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. I

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>will tell you that one of the things that I

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>have let go and am recommitting to is my health.

0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I have put on significant weight and it is making

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:06.120
<v Speaker 1>me feel all types of ways. And I am recommitting

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to not letting my quote unquote busy schedule because we're

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>all busy, Everyone is busy get in the way of

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>me taking care of myself or using my weekends to

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>consistently reward myself in a way that actually leaves my

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>body feeling sluggish and just you know, weighed down. And

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>so for me, you know, I am recommitting and this

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is not a New Year's resolution, It is not any

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of those things. But I know how difficult for me

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 1>this year is going to be. So I need to

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:48.679
<v Speaker 1>be in my best emotional, physical, spiritual, mental shape in

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>order to be able to be as nimble as possible

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to roll with what this year is going to bring.

0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And I encourage all of us, all of us to

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>do that because what happens is for me when I

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 1>get to a place of overwhelm, I you know, fall

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>back on really bad habits of overeating, over drinking, you know,

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and just deciding that I don't really want to work

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>out today, I don't really want to do this, I

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>don't really want to do that. It's just easier to

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>order in all of these things that seem easy at

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the time but then make me feel bad later on.

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.199
<v Speaker 1>And it's just like there is just too much that

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be happening and coming our way. And

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I recognize that for me, my resistance right also looks

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>like getting in the best shape that I possibly can be,

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, I am challenging myself to rise

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to that occasion because just like I meditate twice a day,

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 1>just like you know I go for walks and care

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.879
<v Speaker 1>for my plants and these things, I also have to

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>amp up and double down on all the ways that

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I need to care for myself because you know, the folks,

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you've heard the stories of people on the front lines

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>of movements having heart attacks, really young, taking their own life,

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>developing all sorts of disease because of the stress and

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the strain and the bad habits and all of those

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 1>things that compound themselves. And so I'm taking that to

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>heart very seriously, and so that is what I'm going

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 1>to do to also focus on my feel good and

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 1>fun news. I am working on my very first book

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>this year. I'm working on finishing completing a book proposal

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>and then taking on the task of hopefully somebody wanting it,

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and then working on the full fledged book. And so

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 1>those are my two goals to develop my health and

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:59.960
