1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Happy woke Wednesday. First of all, I kindot believe that

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: the month of January is almost done. I just you know,

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: how you ever see those pie charts on Instagram and

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: it's all the months of the year, and they have

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: like September through the end of the year is like

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: always scrunched up into one thing. But January takes like

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: most of the twelve month cake. That is not the

10
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: case this year. And I had a feeling in my heart,

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this that twenty twenty four was

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: going to speedby, that we were gonna blink. It's gonna

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: be April. We're gonna blink again. It's gonna be September,

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: and then it's going to be the election and then

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: Lord only knows. And so I just want to take

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: pause because I have been feeling a bit scattered as

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: of late, and you know, let's just do a check

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: in how are we actually feeling as this month is

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: coming to an end. And by the time that you

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: listen to this recording, the results from New Hampshire will

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: be in. But prior to the results of New Hampshire

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: being in, I'm sorry, who is going to be surprised

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is a Republican nominee. I mean, Nikki

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Haley can decide to stay in this bullshit for as

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: long as she wants and think that she has a

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: fighting chance. In hell, she doesn't. And the fact is

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: that when I say to take a pause and check in,

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: it's like I am unclear and uncertain with how things

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: are going to shake out by the time that we

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: get to November. And look, I know that for most people,

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: for most Americans who were not woke as fuck, you know,

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: they're not going to check in until sometime in September,

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: which is terrifying, right, which is terrifying to think about.

34
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: But the fact is that we knew from the beginning

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee, once

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: he announced, and once I saw the first debate and

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: realized that these people were not going to take him on.

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: So if you're not going to take on the front

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: runner of your party, then you're not serious about becoming president, right,

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Like that's just the thing. Like, if you're not in

41
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: it to win then what are you in it for?

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: But apparently all of those people that had were in

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Republican primary were clearly trying to

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: run for vice president and I'm just like, that's not

45
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: how any of this works. And so now Nikki Haley

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: finds herself, you know, in a place where she finally

47
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: wants to start calling out Donald Trump, and I'm just like,

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: it's too late, right, But I know that there are

49
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, billion billionaires that are backing her much in

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: the same way that there are billionaires that are backing

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and they're just trying to you know, hedge

52
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: their bets at the end of the day. But like,

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: do we really think that a racist, misogynist party led

54
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: by a racist and a misogynist is going to a

55
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: like nominate an Indian American woman? Like, is Nicki Haley

56
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: kidding herself? And the thing is is that her fucking

57
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: foolishness around America has never been a racist country. But

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: she changed her name and on different versions of Nikki

59
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Haley throughout her career has talked about the fact that

60
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: her family and she have experienced racism living in South Carolina, Right, Like,

61
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: people don't just up and change their name from a

62
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: very ethnic name sounding name to a white euro name

63
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: because all things have been well, no, that's actually not

64
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: how it ever works. So Nimroda goes ahead and changes

65
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: her name, and people are like pulling up their receipts

66
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: of her talking about, you know, being a brown girl

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 1: and a very black and white society and her father

68
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: experiencing racism and this, that and the other thing, and

69
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: then fast forward and she's just like, oh, no, no, no,

70
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: don't worry. I you know, I won't talk about race.

71
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I won't talk about diversity, I won't talk about equity

72
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: and inclusion. I'm just like you. I just want to

73
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: tell all of these Republicans that are black, that are brown,

74
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: that are queer, these people are never going to accept you.

75
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: You are never getting into the club. Right. They may

76
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: entertain one or two of you in order to continue

77
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: upholding the lie that they're not all white supremacists and

78
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: racist and blah blah, but you'll never be one of them.

79
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: You will always be the person on the outside with

80
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: your nose pressed up against the glass, hoping and praying

81
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: for some closer proximity to their whiteness, power and privilege.

82
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: You're a lawn ornament, do you know what I'm saying?

83
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: So it kills me when I see people of color

84
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: do these types of mental gymnastics that Nikki Haley has

85
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: been doing in vivek Ramaswami and you know, and Tim

86
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Scott and others have done to try and be liked

87
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: by a party and then be shocked though, find themselves

88
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: fucking shocked that these people are calling you everything outside

89
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: of your name. But you want to spend your entire

90
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: careers trying to convince the rest of us that this

91
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: party isn't racist and they don't even fucking like you,

92
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: but you're still left out there carrying their water. It

93
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: makes no sense, and you just look foolish, to be honest.

94
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: And so for me, you know, as I'm taking my

95
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: pause and kind of looking out at the last couple

96
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: of weeks of January and looking out, you know, at

97
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of debates that we have seen at

98
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the end of last year and now this year, I'm

99
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: just like, you know what it is too, folks. Republicans

100
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: don't want any better for themselves, do you know what

101
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like they're happy with what it is that

102
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: they have like they don't want And this is how

103
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: you have to understand that racism has a chokehold over

104
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: white America and will always have a choke hold over

105
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: white America because they don't want any better. Right, And

106
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: when I say white America, I'm talking specifically about quote

107
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: unquote conservatives, but i'm talking about maga supremas. I'm talking

108
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: about white quote unquote conservative Republicans, right and conservative, meaning

109
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: that they don't like people of color, they don't like women,

110
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: they don't want diversity, equity and inclusion, they don't want

111
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: critical thought, right, they don't They want to be the

112
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: only ones that have jobs that are successful. They don't

113
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: want social services, and if they do, they only want

114
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that those social services go to other

115
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: white people. Like that's who the fuck I'm talking about.

116
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: And so it's like they don't want any better because

117
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is giving them everything that they've ever wanted, right,

118
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: which is to enshrine whiteness, white supremacy, and Christo fascism

119
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: into this country, no questions ask, right, Like, the only

120
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: reason they believe is necessary to have people of color

121
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: or women around is to be of service and indenture

122
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: to them. Right when they say that they want to

123
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: bring back the good old days. That's what the fuck

124
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: they're talking about, This step and fetched days, the you

125
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: know woman in the apron in the home type of

126
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: days right where you don't how Republicans love to romance,

127
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, the bygone era where like, you know, the

128
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: divorce rate was low and all of these things. You

129
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: know why the divorce rate was low. I just love

130
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: to remind people of this fact, because women didn't have

131
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: any financial freedom. So if you weren't able to get

132
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: a credit card until nineteen seventy four, and you weren't

133
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: able to have any financial freedom outside of what allowance

134
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: your daddy or your husband gave you, where the fuck

135
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: were you going? Right? Like, divorce was for a lot

136
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: of women a straight shot to like fucking poverty. Because

137
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: you also weren't able to get employed in the jobs

138
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: that would have you be able to function at a

139
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: high economic level with children and be a successful single parent,

140
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: Like that wasn't an option. And so when they want

141
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: to toe the low divorce rate, what they are actually

142
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: talking about is the trap, the patriarchal trap that society

143
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: had set up for women to track them into marriage,

144
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: strap them with children, and then in a form of

145
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: gratitude in a lot of circumstances and abusive homes with

146
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: men that they needed to get permission from to spend

147
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: any amount of money. So those are the good old

148
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: days that these fucking people are talking about. And so

149
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: it's always a shock to me, not just that people

150
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: of color and queer people could possibly be Republican, but

151
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: it's a shock to me that women could be Republicans.

152
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: But then you have to remind yourself that some people

153
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: want safety more than they want freedom. Let me say

154
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: that again, because sometimes we have to remind ourselves that

155
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: some people want safety more than they want freedom, because

156
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: safety right is staying in close proximity and in favor

157
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: with white men for your protection and for your security,

158
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: rather than going out on your own right and creating

159
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: and living a life that is one based on autonomy.

160
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: It's like munch House in Syndrome. Okay, So I'm looking

161
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: at this, you know, and again, by the time that

162
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: you all watch this, we will know that Donald Trump

163
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: is the nominee. And even if Nikki Haley is still

164
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: in the race, because apparently right now as I'm recording this,

165
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: she still has planned events in South Carolina, she gonna

166
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: lose her home state, right and if you can't like

167
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: guarantee a win in your home state, like, all that

168
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: does is signal to the rest of the country that

169
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: your own home state don't fuck with you. So why

170
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: would we fuck with you? I you know, I have

171
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: wondered this, folks. I will never know, right, and we'll

172
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: never know, or maybe we do know, which is what

173
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: would have happened, right Donald Trump announced super early? Why

174
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: did Donald Trump announce early that he was gonna run

175
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: again for the presidency, because then he could be able

176
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: to use the line of every case that was coming

177
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: up against him as a witch hunt, right as political prosecution.

178
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: The funny thing is is that I honestly believe that

179
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump hadn't have declared and said publicly that

180
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: he was not going to be seeking to run for reelection,

181
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't have been prosecuted, even though he's guilty

182
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: of a whole host of crimes. Right. So it like

183
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: a part of me is just like I sometimes wish

184
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: that the Department of Justice or whomever that was able

185
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: to like atch out a deal said if you don't

186
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: run publicly state and sign this paper and say that

187
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: you will not run or seek public office for the

188
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: presidency or anywhere. Ever. Again, we won't bring lawsuits against you.

189
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: You're a criminal, but we won't bring any lawsuits against you.

190
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Would Donald Trump have taken that deal, Probably not, you know,

191
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: but it would have been the best deal for the country,

192
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: to be honest, because will the uber rich, powerful white

193
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: man ever go to jail. No, because you see the

194
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: tricks that he's pulling in Georgia with Fannie Willis, who

195
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: will probably lose her job. The case will be thrown

196
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: out on all of these bullshit technicalities of oh, she

197
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: had an affair or she had this. What the fuck

198
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: does that have to do with going after Donald Trump?

199
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It's just another form of a distraction and

200
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: the perfection necessary for women and for people of color

201
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: in order to get right the ability and the power

202
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: to bring accountability to the doorsteps of rich, white, powerful men.

203
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: It's all fucking exhausting, right, which is why I find

204
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: myself right now taking a bit of a pause, because

205
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: it really is like your head will just stay on

206
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: a fucking swivel if you try and keep up with

207
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: all of the bullshit that is coming out. And that's

208
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: why I say, like, the time is gonna fly this

209
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: year because this Republican Party Trump, They're gonna throw everything

210
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: at the American people. And by the time that we

211
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: get to November, if you're not taking breaks, if you're

212
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: not like staying mentally, physically, spiritually fit, you're gonna be careening,

213
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, towards a cliff by the time we get

214
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: to the election and just want to be done with it,

215
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: which will not vode well for Biden, who, by the way,

216
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: just to remind folks, we are voting for democracy. We

217
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: are voting for our rights, what is left of them.

218
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: We are not voting for Joe Biden. Okay, Joe Biden

219
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: is not a great candidate, and if I had it

220
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: my way, he wouldn't be running, right, But neither would

221
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And if I had it my way, we

222
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be in this predicament because Americans would have

223
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: chosen the woman. They would have chosen Hillary Clinton in

224
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and not Donald Trump. And to be honest,

225
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that America didn't choose her. I'm convinced

226
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: that the election in twenty sixteen was the actual election

227
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: that was stolen, that we didn't investigate. I don't know, folks,

228
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I continue to be really worried, very

229
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: concerned with all of the ways that this current administration

230
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: seems to be out of touch with how angry people are,

231
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and taking for granted the fact that everyone thinks that,

232
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump is the devil reincarnate and so

233
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: they have no choice, and the fact is that we

234
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: always have choices, not always right like after this election

235
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: donald Trump becomes president again, we actually have no choices,

236
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: particularly black people, brown people, people of color, queer people,

237
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, women, the disabled, like you know, the list

238
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on and on and on.

239
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: It's easier to just say that if you're not a man,

240
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: you're not sis, you're not Christian, and you're not white,

241
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: you will be fucked. Right. It just may take a

242
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: little longer to get to you, but you will be fucked.

243
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know that we need to take breaks,

244
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: and I know that we need to kind of take

245
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: this year in many bite sizes, right, like you take

246
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: a bite, you sit, you let it digest, and then

247
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: like you go back for another bite. It is running

248
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: a marathon, except I'm saying you run for maybe twenty

249
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. You take a break, it's ingest some water, right,

250
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: you sit, if you stretch, and then you get back

251
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: in the race. Like, that's the way that we're going

252
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: to get through this for the long haul is to

253
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: do it bit by bit, bite by bite, moment by moment,

254
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: with lots of rest and hydration in between. Because you know,

255
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: it's January twenty fourth, just a handful of days until February,

256
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and I am already over it. And every day I

257
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: say to myself, I'm really not sure how I'm getting

258
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: to November. But I'm pretty sure that I'm going to

259
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: go to sleep and I'm going to wake up and

260
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: it's going to be November, and I'm probably going to

261
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: feel sick. So let me tell you a little trick

262
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: that I'm doing. With a few minutes that I have

263
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: left a couple of things that I'm doing, let's transition

264
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: now from Wednesday to wellness Wednesday for a hot minute.

265
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: The stress is really getting to me, and so I

266
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: have just decided to invest in a workout plan in

267
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: regimen because what happens when I am stressed and I

268
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: don't sleep well and I just revert back to bad

269
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: habits and I start to put on a lot of weight,

270
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: which is what has happened. So I have found a

271
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: new workout program I'm pretty psyched about. I can afford it,

272
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: and so I'm doing it and I'm starting a little

273
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: challenge that they're doing in February, and so I've decided

274
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: to kind of put my energy towards that, not treating

275
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: my body like a machine, because we're not, but like

276
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: treating my body in a loving and caring way and

277
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: knowing that I Am not going to have the strength

278
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: and the energy to get through the next several months

279
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: if I'm not taking care of myself. So that's number one.

280
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: Number two is that I'm coming up with little ways

281
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: to reward myself for keeping up with my health, with

282
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: my meditations, with my workout you know, fitness regimes, and

283
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: like what does that look like? You know? What are

284
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: those little things that I can plant throughout the year

285
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: that will give me something to look forward to and

286
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: give me some excitement about anticipating them coming. So those

287
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: are the things, you know. So I'm you know, thinking

288
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: about what's a mini trip that I can take that

289
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: could be you know, good, get me some you know,

290
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: vitamin D and some sand and just you know, be

291
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: by salt water, which is incredibly healing for me and

292
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: just most people. So when can I do that, you know,

293
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: and still record the show or just take a little break, right,

294
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: So I encourage all of you to think out your year,

295
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: think out the next couple of months, and what are

296
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: the little seeds of joy that you are on a

297
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: regular basis that allows you to have some excitement and

298
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: some anticipation around their blooming. You know, what are the

299
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: things that you are investing in that bring you joy

300
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: and ease, that help you to develop the strength to

301
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: keep going. Those are the things that I want us

302
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: to really be thinking about, because again, this year is

303
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: going to go really fast, and I think that we

304
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: are all going to need to be able to slow

305
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: ourselves down in order to catch our breath in order

306
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: to focus on what matters and what is important. And

307
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: we can only do that when we are working at

308
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: a pace that makes sense for us. So that is

309
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: some of the wellness that I am going to be

310

Speaker 1: doing over the next couple of months. And I will

00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: check in with all of you and let you know

312
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: how things are going. But do the same with me

313
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: in the comment section. If you're on Patreon and watching

314

Speaker 1: this video, you know, and hit me up on threads

315
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,080

316
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: coming in February, so in a few weeks, I'm going

318
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: incentives for you all that I hope that folks will

319
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: be excited about. All right, dear friends, that is it
