WEBVTT - Take Our Country Back

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, keeps, and welcome to wok AP Daily with

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Happy woke Wednesday. You know, it's been an interesting week,

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a fairly dare I say, slowish newsweek, but there's still

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot poppin. But I want to start today on

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 1>this woke Wednesday with the eclipse. Did you see it?

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you take a moment to take in the universe's awe.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>What I'll say about this and like the coverage and

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>everything like that leading up to it, is, you know,

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I love astronomy. I love astrology, I love you know,

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>science fiction. I love science. I love the natural world.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>And so so for me to take a moment to

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>go outside to be in awe and collective wonder of

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we are really just specs in the universe,

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that there are forces and things that move and shift,

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, to just pause for a moment and

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to think about that and to learn more about that

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was so exciting, you know. And I went with my

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend and a friend of ours down to our park.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>We had the glasses, we had a blanket laid out

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, talked and you know, took in

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment and I realized just how nice it is

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to take a pause to have collective awe and wonder

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and realizing that that is something that is missing a

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>lot from our lives these days, is that we are

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're back in many ways to the hustle

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and bustle of pre COVID and really are living life

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>in a way that does not make room for wonder,

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>awe and adventure and to make room for conversation speculation

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>on you know, how we exist, how we're moving. You know,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it just feels like we're always in some type of race.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Like right now, everything is AI, everything is our artificial intelligence,

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Everything is about robots and delivering your groceries. Everything is

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>about like this rush to you know, be living in

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the future. But yet we don't have any real contemplation

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that we are on this spinning rock

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that we're not treating very well, that is changing right

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>before our eyes, and shouldn't we have more conversation about that? Right?

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>So I really loved this moment. This week. I loved,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, most of the coverage that I was seeing

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>because I thought that, you know, it was a time

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to be like yeah, we live on this planet called

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Earth that has you know, one sun and one moon,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and in spectacular moments, you know, they cross paths and

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>like this is this is one of those moments. And

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a generational moment, right because you won't see another

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>eclipse with this kind of path and trajectory for another

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty years, and a total eclipse I won't ever probably

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>see in my lifetime. I think the next time I'll

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>be like one hundred. So you know, to pause, to

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>take a moment to ooh and ah and revel in it.

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I just enjoyed so much, and I hope that you

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>all did too. Speaking of things shifting and changing, you know,

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I was also in conversation with a friend about experiencing

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the earthquake that happened in New Jersey and we felt

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it here in New York last week. And you know, I,

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>like I said before, I did not feel the earthquake

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>because I was like out and about and moving and

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>just where I was, I didn't feel it, but other

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>people around me did. And you know this, one friend said,

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, like an earthquake in New York City, Like

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:30.559
<v Speaker 1>that's just fucking insane, Like do we even understand that

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that shouldn't be happening, right, And also things are changing

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and moving so quickly that we really need to take

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>stock in our lives how we are living, because like

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>anything can change in a blink of an eye and

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the fun you know, I was saying, Look, New York

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>City is set up for a lot of things. Earthquake

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>ain't one of them. You know, It's barely set up

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>for a torrential downpour, right, Like if you are in

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>New York's city when there is a torrential and I

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>mean like monsoon type weather, which is what we've had

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this spring, the subways might as well

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>be a canal. Is kind of like where we look

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>at the infrastructure and where like this doesn't feel sound

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and or safe. So now thinking about that and thinking

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>about an earthquake that is of any grand level, yeah,

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we're pretty much fucked, do you know. And so now

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>while people make jokes and all of these things, it's like, no,

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:42.679
<v Speaker 1>we're really in danger and not prepared for the way

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>in which our climate and our planet is shifting at all,

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And we're just kind of making the assumption that I

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe we'll run out the clock. We won't

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>be here, so it won't be our problem. But it's

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>happening right before us, and it's happening fast. You know,

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.799
<v Speaker 1>last year it was a yellow sky because of wildfires.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Wildfire has been happening. Never seen the sky turn yellow though,

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>do you know what I'm saying? Never have been forced

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>inside because of that? Right? That was last year. This

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>year it's an earthquake. What the fuck will next year? Bring?

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Lord only knows. That's kind of where my mind has

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>been in terms of like climate the universe. There's also

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>side note, really great show three Problem Body on Netflix.

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>If you all like sci fi, get into that. It

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>is a limited series. I believe it was like eight episodes,

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's pretty wild. I don't want to give it away,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>but check it out if you like sci fi. So

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 1>now to my least favorite topic, Donald Trump. So apparently

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is now pro choice for a hot minute,

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that he needs it to be politically expedient, that he

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>believes that abortion should be left up to the States,

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't believe in a national abortion ban, YadA, YadA, YadA.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>It's all bullshit, right, Like, let's understand that Donald Trump

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>will do and say anything in order to get elected

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>because it's only his last ditch effort at a gut

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>out of jail free card. It is how he makes

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>every single case go away is by becoming president. If

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump does not become president of the United States,

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that man is in a world of fucking trouble. And

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I know that I have said this so many times before,

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is just why I don't have stock in

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>any of the court cases. And I continue to say that,

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but somehow I continue to muster faith in the American people.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>But you know, then the American people show their ass,

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know I'm left with egg on my face

0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>this time around. However, Joe Biden recently put out an

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>ad that I think is one of the best ads

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>that I have seen, and he uses a story of

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a white couple in Texas where the woman who was

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>pregnant with a non viable fetus denied an abortion, had

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>to wait until she basically went into sepsis, and then

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was able to get the abortion, but now, because of

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the damage that was done, may never be able to

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>get pregnant again. Joe Biden ran this ad this week

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and the ending said Trump did this, and I thought, finally,

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of fucking you know mantra and tagline that I can

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>get behind with this administration. Trump did this. Donald Trump

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>wants to pretend to both say in private and at

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>times in public that he's the one, He's the reason

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Roe v. Wade was overturned, and then at the same

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>time be like, oh, but but I meant it to

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 1>be up to the states because that's what people should

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>have the decision, and blah blahlah blah. No, sir, what

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you have done is created a patchwork of protections for

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>women and people with uteruses. What you have done is

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>created a extraordinarily dangerous situation for women and people with

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>uteruses in these very red states that either criminalize them

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>or allow them to die or get close to death

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>in order to provide care. And that is something that

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you were saying that you were proud of. So to

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>continually remind people, no, Trump did this, right, I'm like

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>put that tagline on everything, run every commercial that has

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to do with oh, I don't know the fact that

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>billionaires and millionaires got extraordinary tax breaks during this tax season, right.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is committed to extending the Trump tax cuts,

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>which is why billionaires want him to be in the

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>White House because guess what they are fucking disgustingly greedy, right.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to pay their fair share. They are

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>not interested in America and being a participating part of

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>America by paying taxes as a citizen. No, they want

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>all of the breaks so that they can cord all

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>of the money and it falls on the rest of us.

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, run ads about that as well and

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 1>say Trump did this, right. I think that Donald Trump

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is the most dangerous human being on the planet right now.

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's saying a lot, because Netanyahu exists. But I

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>think that Donald Trump and what he represents to both

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>our domestic life as well as globally is nothing but

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>danger everywhere that you will look. So the more that

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Biden can run ads like the one that is out

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this week and make Trump the villain very clearly that

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>we know that he is. But without Donald Trump electing

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>three lying ass conservatives who said that they believed in

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>precedent but then turned around and did not, we would

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>still have Roe v. Wade, We'd still have affirmative Action.

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>So it is important that people really understand where we

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>are and how we got here. And it is the

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>job of the Biden campaign to make it expressly so,

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>because the majority of Americans do not pay attention to

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>news in the way that those inside the beltwayh do

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>right the way that I do, the way that you do.

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And so how do you get to and connect with

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the average American voter who is not going to be

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.839
<v Speaker 1>tuned in most likely until around oh, I don't know, September.

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>But how do you start planting those seeds now? And

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that this ad was a really good representation

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:43.599
<v Speaker 1>of what they need to do more of and continue.

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>The other thing that I will say, I don't know

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>how the media doesn't cover racism and call it racism

0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>in this day and age. I just don't get it.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>When Donald Trump also said things at his dinner like oh,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I want immigrants, but I want them from nice countries

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 1>like Denmark. Why the media then doesn't have a headline

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that says Donald Trump only wants immigrants from largely white nations.

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>What does that say to you? I don't know why

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't run that and then run the clip of

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, when he's

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about denying people access to America that are Muslim,

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>denying people access to America that are Latin X, denying

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>people access to America that are from black countries, right, Like,

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who they think that they are benefiting

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 1>by not telling the truth. And like, that's to me

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 1>is where I get incredible frustrated in covering Donald trumple

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>like I have to on a regular basis because I

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 1>see very rarely where people get it right, you know,

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and where it isn't just being covered still like clickbait,

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like a horse race, like a joke, you know, as

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>if like, oh, well, we live through this one time,

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>so we can make it through the next time. I

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much more someone has to tell you

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>what their plans are. I've told you. If you haven't

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>read Project twenty twenty five, go ahead and head over

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to the Heritage Foundation dot org. Right, they're not hiding

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>what they are doing. And so for people to continue

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to play games, it doesn't make sense to me, and

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it's dangerous. And what I will say, you know, as

0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 1>we continue to reel from the attack that happened by

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Israel on the World Central Kitchen aid workers that killed

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>seven workers. To date, it's been close to two hundred

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>humanitarians that have been killed, not to mention the journalists,

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the nurses, the doctors, you know, plus the oh, I

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know, thirty two thousand plus Palestinians, largely children, that

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>have been murdered. I believe that people have a right

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to protest. I believe that people have a right to

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>have their voices heard, which many have done during the

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>primaries by voting for undecided or no candidate. I agree

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>with your ability to do that. However, when it comes

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to the general election in November, we do not have

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>time to play games. I said it last week on

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Tavis Smiley's show when he asked me, Denielle, let me

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>play Devil's advocate. What do you say to these people

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>who are just like you know, when are we going

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to have the opportunity to finally have our issues heard?

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I said, Look, some elections are just about holding on,

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's what this election is. We are trying to

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>hold on with our fingernails to democracy. Once we have

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>secured that we can have larger conversation. And for those

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 1>people that are just like well, it always seems like

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>it's never going to happen, Well, I'll tell you when

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it will never happen. Which is, if there is a

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>dictator or an authoritarian that becomes president for life of

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the United States, then you're never going to have that

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>happen because what you think and what you want won't matter.

0:16:55.400 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So the time for protest is during the primaries, is

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 1>on social media. We are seven months away from the election,

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>but when it comes to November, people need to get

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>really crystal clear about the kind of country and world

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that they want to live in because it will be gone.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 1>And I can't express that enough. The other thing that

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I will say is I think that the student loan

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>debt relief that is being done is smart, is strategic,

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and needs to be lifted up. It's not happening for everybody,

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's happening for a lot of people. It was

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 1>a campaign promise and it is one that, even barring

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court denying Biden the ability to provide relief

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 1>to all people because you know, we only want to

0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>provide relief for billionaires, that he is continuing to get

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that job done, and get done in a very real,

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>real way. Jobs numbers came out, you know, consistent consistently

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>adding jobs, consistently doing well. These are things that on

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>top of what Trump has done that this is what

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden has done, right, and those conversations needing to happen

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. Democrats are set to spend one hundred and

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>eighty six million dollars out of one PAP to win

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>back the House. There is a four seat majority that

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Republicans hold right now, and so Democrats are concentrating on

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable seats in Republican districts in New York and in California,

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>which is where they are going to be putting this money.

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Incredibly important because it isn't just about again, it isn't

0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>just about who is inside of the White House. It

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is about, well, who is in Congress, and we need

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to take out the trash in more ways than one.

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>The place is embarrassing. Congress is embarrassing. And you know

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>my hope and prayer, as is I know many of you,

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that we legitimately take this country back from the grips

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of despair and white supremacy, misogyny, and patriarchy. And once

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 1>we have it, we are in a position to rebuild.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But in order to rebuild, we have to have control.

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 1>And in order to have control, we have to regain power.

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>And that doesn't happen overnight. That is it for me today.

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Dear friends on Woke a f as always, Power to

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the people and to all the people power, get woke

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and stay woke as fuck.
