1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: The Jewel Show on demand. Today's International Women's Day. It's 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: the Jewel Show. I do have something that I would 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: like to say. Actually wrote an open letter from me too. Women. 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: Look that because I don't know if you can tell 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a woman. Oh so I can't really speak 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: from the same experience as a woman. So I wrote 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: a letter from my perspective to women for International Women's Day. Okay, 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: I love that beautiful. If you want to read and 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: share it with other women, you can go find it 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: on our social at the Jewel Show or my personal 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: social at Jewel Fresh. And then, um, okay, this is awkward, 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: so I'll start reading my letter. So I just don't 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: know how to be like, hey, hey everybody, here's the 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: letter I wrote for you. Okay, so here, I'll just 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: read my open letter. Maybe two women, all right? Here 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: he goes, here, he goes, okay, two women. I'm not 17 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: sure if you can tell. I've used this show three 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: times now. I don't care. I put it in my letter. 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna use it again. I'm not sure if you 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: can tell I'm not a woman. There are many reasons 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: that I can think of that I wish I was 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: a woman. As a matter of fact, I've always taken 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: a stand against my toxic masculine friends by being comfortable 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: admitting that being sitting down is way more relaxing and 25 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: everybody should do it. I'm also somebody who has been 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: unheard and not seen a lot in my life. So 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: whenever days like this roll around and people go, what 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: are you going to talk about for International Women's Day? 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: I go, I have no business speaking about it. I 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: don't mean that I want to stay quiet about my 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: belief that everybody in this world deserves an equal shot 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: at shining, and that we live in a world where, unfortunately, 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: a lot of humans haven't learned that just because something 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: is different than you and you don't understand it, means 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: that you have to set up systems in order to 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: hold it down and oppress it. I'm a dude, I've 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: been one my whole life, and I've seen and heard 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: a lot of conversations that are proof that being a 39 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: woman in this world is a special kind of struggle 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: that males can't relate to. If you're a dude listening 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: to me right now and going, what are you talking about? 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: Women get all the same rights as me. Fact is, 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: they don't, and more than just in the workplace and 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: in other areas of life, being a woman means that 45 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: there's extra work and extra steps with everything that a 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: lot of dudes take for granted. For example, when I 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: pump my gas at the gas station, I feel safe. 48 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: What a lot of guys don't think about is that 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: women have been oppressed and dominated throughout history, So those 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: little daily tasks like pumping gas involve more than just 51 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: hopping out of the car. Men have it better with 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot of things. It's a luxury that most of 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: us don't even realize we have. And personally, I don't 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: thank the men that came before me for that luxury. 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: I wish they were never weak minded. I wish they 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: were quote unquote man enough to handle women actually being 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: equal and letting the best person win. We should not 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: live in a world with any inequality, but because of 59 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: those feeble, egoed men, it's where we are still. I 60 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: do know that we've come a long way. I also 61 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: know that we can all do better, and because I 62 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: see the world as mostly good, I think we are 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: doing better as a whole, and the world is slowly 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: waking up. One of the problems is the world is 65 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: not an early riser though, the world is more of 66 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: a hit snooze about seven hundred times and think about 67 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: calling in sick until there's no choice but to get 68 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: out of bed type of waker upper. So I want 69 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: to say on International Women's Day that at least from 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: this guy, you are seen to the women who are 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: running countries and businesses and proving that everybody deserves an 72 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: equal shot. You continue to build roads and bridges that 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: pave the way for the future use. And I see 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: you to the women who are given little credit for 75 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: the eighteen tasks that you have to juggle at one time, 76 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: all while hearing the word mom, mom, Mom, mom, mom, 77 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. I don't know how 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: you haven't snapped and moved to a remote desert where 79 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: nobody can never say the word mom to you ever. Again. 80 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. What you do 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: is impressive and it takes strength, kindness, and patience. Please 82 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: know that I see you. I would never want to 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: be you, which is why we need you. I also 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: know that you make things tick, and I see you 85 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: to the women who breathe the same air as me, 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: air that we all breathe, and for some reason, there 87 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: are still people who think their lungs deserve the oxygen 88 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: more than you. Those people are wrong, and I see you. 89 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Please know that I believe that everybody in this world 90 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: who is oppressed in any way is because they are powerful, 91 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: and the weak only know how to try to keep 92 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: you down by oppressive domination. Here's the thing, though, they 93 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: are ultimately weak and you, you are powerful. They are 94 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: darkness and you are light. And a pinhole of light 95 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: will always shine in a valley of darkness. So if 96 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: you're struggling to be seen, know that it's because you 97 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: are powerful. Shine your light, no matter how small it 98 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: may feel to you, and the world will see it too. 99 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: You are powerful, You are seen.
