Folks, 3 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: Happy woke Wednesday. You know, it's been an interesting week, 4 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: a fairly dare I say, slowish newsweek, but there's still 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: a lot poppin. But I want to start today on 6 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: this woke Wednesday with the eclipse. Did you see it? 7 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Did you take a moment to take in the universe's awe. 8 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: What I'll say about this and like the coverage and 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: everything like that leading up to it, is, you know, 10 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: I love astronomy. I love astrology, I love you know, 11 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: science fiction. I love science. I love the natural world. 12 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: And so so for me to take a moment to 13 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: go outside to be in awe and collective wonder of 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: the fact that we are really just specs in the universe, 15 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: that there are forces and things that move and shift, 16 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: and you know, to just pause for a moment and 17 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: to think about that and to learn more about that 18 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: was so exciting, you know. And I went with my 19 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: girlfriend and a friend of ours down to our park. 20 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: We had the glasses, we had a blanket laid out 21 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: and just you know, talked and you know, took in 22 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: this moment and I realized just how nice it is 23 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: to take a pause to have collective awe and wonder 24 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: and realizing that that is something that is missing a 25 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: lot from our lives these days, is that we are 26 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: you know, we're back in many ways to the hustle 27 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: and bustle of pre COVID and really are living life 28 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: in a way that does not make room for wonder, 29 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: awe and adventure and to make room for conversation speculation 30 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: on you know, how we exist, how we're moving. You know, 31 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: it just feels like we're always in some type of race. 32 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Like right now, everything is AI, everything is our artificial intelligence, 33 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: Everything is about robots and delivering your groceries. Everything is 34 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: about like this rush to you know, be living in 35 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: the future. But yet we don't have any real contemplation 36 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: about the fact that we are on this spinning rock 37 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: that we're not treating very well, that is changing right 38 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: before our eyes, and shouldn't we have more conversation about that? Right? 39 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: So I really loved this moment. This week. I loved, 40 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, most of the coverage that I was seeing 41 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: because I thought that, you know, it was a time 42 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: to be like yeah, we live on this planet called 43 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Earth that has you know, one sun and one moon, 44 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: and in spectacular moments, you know, they cross paths and 45 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: like this is this is one of those moments. And 46 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: it's a generational moment, right because you won't see another 47 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: eclipse with this kind of path and trajectory for another 48 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: twenty years, and a total eclipse I won't ever probably 49 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: see in my lifetime. I think the next time I'll 50 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: be like one hundred. So you know, to pause, to 51 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: take a moment to ooh and ah and revel in it. 52 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: I just enjoyed so much, and I hope that you 53 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: all did too. Speaking of things shifting and changing, you know, 54 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: I was also in conversation with a friend about experiencing 55 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: the earthquake that happened in New Jersey and we felt 56 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: it here in New York last week. And you know, I, 57 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: like I said before, I did not feel the earthquake 58 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: because I was like out and about and moving and 59 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: just where I was, I didn't feel it, but other 60 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: people around me did. And you know this, one friend said, 61 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, like an earthquake in New York City, Like 62 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: that's just fucking insane, Like do we even understand that 63 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: that shouldn't be happening, right, And also things are changing 64 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: and moving so quickly that we really need to take 65 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: stock in our lives how we are living, because like 66 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: anything can change in a blink of an eye and 67 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: the fun you know, I was saying, Look, New York 68 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: City is set up for a lot of things. Earthquake 69 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: ain't one of them. You know, It's barely set up 70 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: for a torrential downpour, right, Like if you are in 71 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: New York's city when there is a torrential and I 72 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: mean like monsoon type weather, which is what we've had 73 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: a lot of this spring, the subways might as well 74 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: be a canal. Is kind of like where we look 75 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: at the infrastructure and where like this doesn't feel sound 76 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: and or safe. So now thinking about that and thinking 77 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: about an earthquake that is of any grand level, yeah, 78 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: we're pretty much fucked, do you know. And so now 79 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: while people make jokes and all of these things, it's like, no, 80 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 1: we're really in danger and not prepared for the way 81 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: in which our climate and our planet is shifting at all, 82 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: And we're just kind of making the assumption that I 83 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe we'll run out the clock. We won't 84 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: be here, so it won't be our problem. But it's 85 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: happening right before us, and it's happening fast. You know, 86 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: last year it was a yellow sky because of wildfires. 87 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Wildfire has been happening. Never seen the sky turn yellow though, 88 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying? Never have been forced 89 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: inside because of that? Right? That was last year. This 90 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: year it's an earthquake. What the fuck will next year? Bring? 91 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Lord only knows. That's kind of where my mind has 92 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: been in terms of like climate the universe. There's also 93 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: side note, really great show three Problem Body on Netflix. 94 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: If you all like sci fi, get into that. It 95 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: is a limited series. I believe it was like eight episodes, 96 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: but it's pretty wild. I don't want to give it away, 97 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: but check it out if you like sci fi. So 98 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: now to my least favorite topic, Donald Trump. So apparently 99 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is now pro choice for a hot minute, 100 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: that he needs it to be politically expedient, that he 101 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: believes that abortion should be left up to the States, 102 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: doesn't believe in a national abortion ban, YadA, YadA, YadA. 103 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: It's all bullshit, right, Like, let's understand that Donald Trump 104 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: will do and say anything in order to get elected 105 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: because it's only his last ditch effort at a gut 106 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: out of jail free card. It is how he makes 107 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: every single case go away is by becoming president. If 108 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not become president of the United States, 109 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: that man is in a world of fucking trouble. And 110 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: I know that I have said this so many times before, 111 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: and this is just why I don't have stock in 112 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: any of the court cases. And I continue to say that, 113 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: but somehow I continue to muster faith in the American people. 114 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: But you know, then the American people show their ass, 115 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: and you know I'm left with egg on my face 116 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: this time around. However, Joe Biden recently put out an 117 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: ad that I think is one of the best ads 118 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: that I have seen, and he uses a story of 119 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: a white couple in Texas where the woman who was 120 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: pregnant with a non viable fetus denied an abortion, had 121 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: to wait until she basically went into sepsis, and then 122 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: was able to get the abortion, but now, because of 123 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: the damage that was done, may never be able to 124 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: get pregnant again. Joe Biden ran this ad this week 125 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: and the ending said Trump did this, and I thought, finally, 126 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: of fucking you know mantra and tagline that I can 127 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: get behind with this administration. Trump did this. Donald Trump 128 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: wants to pretend to both say in private and at 129 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: times in public that he's the one, He's the reason 130 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade was overturned, and then at the same 131 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: time be like, oh, but but I meant it to 132 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: be up to the states because that's what people should 133 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: have the decision, and blah blahlah blah. No, sir, what 134 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: you have done is created a patchwork of protections for 135 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: women and people with uteruses. What you have done is 136 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: created a extraordinarily dangerous situation for women and people with 137 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: uteruses in these very red states that either criminalize them 138 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: or allow them to die or get close to death 139 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: in order to provide care. And that is something that 140 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you were saying that you were proud of. So to 141 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: continually remind people, no, Trump did this, right, I'm like 142 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: put that tagline on everything, run every commercial that has 143 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: to do with oh, I don't know the fact that 144 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: billionaires and millionaires got extraordinary tax breaks during this tax season, right. 145 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is committed to extending the Trump tax cuts, 146 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: which is why billionaires want him to be in the 147 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: White House because guess what they are fucking disgustingly greedy, right. 148 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: They don't want to pay their fair share. They are 149 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: not interested in America and being a participating part of 150 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: America by paying taxes as a citizen. No, they want 151 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: all of the breaks so that they can cord all 152 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: of the money and it falls on the rest of us. 153 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: And I'm like, run ads about that as well and 154 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: say Trump did this, right. I think that Donald Trump 155 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: is the most dangerous human being on the planet right now. 156 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: And that's saying a lot, because Netanyahu exists. But I 157 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump and what he represents to both 158 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: our domestic life as well as globally is nothing but 159 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: danger everywhere that you will look. So the more that 160 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: Biden can run ads like the one that is out 161 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: this week and make Trump the villain very clearly that 162 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: we know that he is. But without Donald Trump electing 163 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: three lying ass conservatives who said that they believed in 164 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: precedent but then turned around and did not, we would 165 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: still have Roe v. Wade, We'd still have affirmative Action. 166 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: So it is important that people really understand where we 167 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: are and how we got here. And it is the 168 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: job of the Biden campaign to make it expressly so, 169 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: because the majority of Americans do not pay attention to 170 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: news in the way that those inside the beltwayh do 171 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: right the way that I do, the way that you do. 172 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: And so how do you get to and connect with 173 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: the average American voter who is not going to be 174 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: tuned in most likely until around oh, I don't know, September. 175 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: But how do you start planting those seeds now? And 176 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: I think that this ad was a really good representation 177 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: of what they need to do more of and continue. 178 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: The other thing that I will say, I don't know 179 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: how the media doesn't cover racism and call it racism 180 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: in this day and age. I just don't get it. 181 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: When Donald Trump also said things at his dinner like oh, 182 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I want immigrants, but I want them from nice countries 183 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: like Denmark. Why the media then doesn't have a headline 184 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: that says Donald Trump only wants immigrants from largely white nations. 185 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: What does that say to you? I don't know why 186 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: they don't run that and then run the clip of 187 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, when he's 188 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: talking about denying people access to America that are Muslim, 189 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: denying people access to America that are Latin X, denying 190 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: people access to America that are from black countries, right, Like, 191 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: I don't know who they think that they are benefiting 192 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: by not telling the truth. And like, that's to me 193 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: is where I get incredible frustrated in covering Donald trumple 194 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: like I have to on a regular basis because I 195 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: see very rarely where people get it right, you know, 196 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: and where it isn't just being covered still like clickbait, 197 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: like a horse race, like a joke, you know, as 198 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: if like, oh, well, we live through this one time, 199 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: so we can make it through the next time. I 200 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: don't know how much more someone has to tell you 201 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: what their plans are. I've told you. If you haven't 202 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: read Project twenty twenty five, go ahead and head over 203 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: to the Heritage Foundation dot org. Right, they're not hiding 204 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: what they are doing. And so for people to continue 205 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: to play games, it doesn't make sense to me, and 206 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: it's dangerous. And what I will say, you know, as 207 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: we continue to reel from the attack that happened by 208 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Israel on the World Central Kitchen aid workers that killed 209 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: seven workers. To date, it's been close to two hundred 210 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: humanitarians that have been killed, not to mention the journalists, 211 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: the nurses, the doctors, you know, plus the oh, I 212 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty two thousand plus Palestinians, largely children, that 213 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: have been murdered. I believe that people have a right 214 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: to protest. I believe that people have a right to 215 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: have their voices heard, which many have done during the 216 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: primaries by voting for undecided or no candidate. I agree 217 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: with your ability to do that. However, when it comes 218 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: to the general election in November, we do not have 219 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: time to play games. I said it last week on 220 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: Tavis Smiley's show when he asked me, Denielle, let me 221 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: play Devil's advocate. What do you say to these people 222 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: who are just like you know, when are we going 223 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to finally have our issues heard? 224 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: I said, Look, some elections are just about holding on, 225 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: and that's what this election is. We are trying to 226 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: hold on with our fingernails to democracy. Once we have 227 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: secured that we can have larger conversation. And for those 228 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: people that are just like well, it always seems like 229 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: it's never going to happen, Well, I'll tell you when 230 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: it will never happen. Which is, if there is a 231 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: dictator or an authoritarian that becomes president for life of 232 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: the United States, then you're never going to have that 233 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: happen because what you think and what you want won't matter. 234 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: So the time for protest is during the primaries, is 235 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: on social media. We are seven months away from the election, 236 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: but when it comes to November, people need to get 237 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: really crystal clear about the kind of country and world 238 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that they want to live in because it will be gone. 239 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: And I can't express that enough. The other thing that 240 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: I will say is I think that the student loan 241 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: debt relief that is being done is smart, is strategic, 242 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: and needs to be lifted up. It's not happening for everybody, 243 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: but it's happening for a lot of people. It was 244 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: a campaign promise and it is one that, even barring 245 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court denying Biden the ability to provide relief 246 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: to all people because you know, we only want to 247 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: provide relief for billionaires, that he is continuing to get 248 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: that job done, and get done in a very real, 249 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: real way. Jobs numbers came out, you know, consistent consistently 250 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: adding jobs, consistently doing well. These are things that on 251 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: top of what Trump has done that this is what 252 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Biden has done, right, and those conversations needing to happen 253 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: as well. Democrats are set to spend one hundred and 254 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: eighty six million dollars out of one PAP to win 255 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: back the House. There is a four seat majority that 256 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: Republicans hold right now, and so Democrats are concentrating on 257 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: vulnerable seats in Republican districts in New York and in California, 258 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: which is where they are going to be putting this money. 259 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: Incredibly important because it isn't just about again, it isn't 260 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: just about who is inside of the White House. It 261 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: is about, well, who is in Congress, and we need 262 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: to take out the trash in more ways than one. 263 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: The place is embarrassing. Congress is embarrassing. And you know 264 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: my hope and prayer, as is I know many of you, 265 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: that we legitimately take this country back from the grips 266 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: of despair and white supremacy, misogyny, and patriarchy. And once 267 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: we have it, we are in a position to rebuild. 268 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: But in order to rebuild, we have to have control. 269 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: And in order to have control, we have to regain power. 270 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: And that doesn't happen overnight. That is it for me today. 271 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: Dear friends on Woke a f as always, Power to 272 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: the people and to all the people power, get woke 273 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: and stay woke as fuck.
