1
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, Keeve Sen. Welcome to WOKP Daily with me

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: your girl Danielle Moody recording from the home Bunker. Folks, Well, bravo.

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Cheers to all of us for making it through another

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: week that comes at no great effort, right, Like, there's

5
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a considerable amount of effort that it takes to get

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: through these weeks. And this week, you know, a mixed

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: bag of I guess like good and horrific, which is

8
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: just par for the course these days. But where do

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: I want to begin? I want to begin at the

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: latest mass shooting where you know, on one of my

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: other pods we were debating about talking about it because

12
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, it was just like, well, they're thinking about,

13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, changing how they're counting mass shootings because there

14
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: are just so many of them that this one may

15
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: not qualify because only one person was killed, And I'm

16
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: just like, what fucking nightmare do we live in? Twenty

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: two people were injured, and because twenty two people weren't

18
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: fatally killed, like then that is not worthy of conversation

19
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: these days, because there are so many mass shootings on

20
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: a regular basis that now we don't need to change

21
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: the policies that are causing the mass shootings. We need

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: to change the way that we count them so that

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I guess that we can trick ourselves into believing that

24
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: there's not as many as there are. Let that sink in. Nonetheless,

25
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: one person was fatally killed twenty two people shot at

26
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: the Kandy City Chiefs super Bowl parade, right, which is

27
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: filled with children and you know, and elders and you know,

28
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: just people, right, People that you know wanted to enjoy

29
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a good time and celebrate their team and their cities win.

30
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: And you can't do that. And you know, the funny

31
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: thing is is that on the news you will listen

32
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: to people pontificate on well, it was, you know, it

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: was an argument, or it was this or that. Why

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: the fuck do we have so many guns? Do you

35
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: know what used to happen in arguments before you had

36
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: access to, like, you know, so much weaponry. It would

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: just be an argument between two people and maybe they'd

38
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: throw hands, maybe there would be you know, some punches

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: that were thrown, but everybody would just be able to

40
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: walk away from that. You know, when people refer to

41
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: the good old days, that's what the fuck. I'd like

42
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: to go back to the good old days. Where everyone

43
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: wasn't packing and so they weren't just one you know instance,

44
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: one argument, one short temper, one moment away from committing

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: mass murder or causing mass injury and trauma. Because what

46
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: we don't talk about on a regular basis, what we

47
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: don't talk about, is the trauma, the emotional trauma that

48
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: is associated with being in a mass shooting. Now to date,

49
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: right now, I don't have any firsthand knowledge of that,

50
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: and I pray to fucking God that I don't. But

51
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: the way that this country moves, we will all experience

52
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: a mass shooting at one time or another and pray

53
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to God that we come out of it. But when

54
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I think about the school shootings, when I think about

55
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: the grocery store shootings, and the synagogue shootings, and the

56
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, and the movie theater shootings, when I think

57
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: about all of these things that have happened, and the

58
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: churches and the Megas church that was just shot up

59
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the other day, it's this feeling of safety being robbed

60
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: from you, and what do we call that? Terrorism? So

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: these people, in my humble opinion, no longer need to

62
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: have motivation, Like I don't give a fuck about their motivations.

63
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Whose motivations I actually care about are the motivations of

64
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: the Republican politicians that continue to pass legislation that makes

65
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: it easier for people to obtain a fucking gun. That's

66
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: whose motivations we should be talking about on a regular

67
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: fucking basis. I don't give a fuck nowadays about whether

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: or not the shooter had a manifesto, whether or not

69
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: they were a Trump supporter, whether or not like it

70
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: was an argument, or they were bullied at school, or

71
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: what difference does it make. The common denominator is the

72
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: access to guns. When I interview Jonathan you Know, at

73
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of the month for his new book, what

74
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: We've become, the entire conversation and narrative change that he's

75
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: talking about in his book is moving from this idea

76
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: of a health pandemic and moving toward a place of

77
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: power and how we who want to be able to pray,

78
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: send their kids to school, shop walk, you know, fellowship

79
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: with our neighbors without fear of death, and that that

80
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: is about voting in the people and the judges and

81
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: the representatives that are going to give a fuck about

82
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: whether or not you live and die. We are at

83
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a place where the number one killer of kids is

84
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: not a disease that we're still trying to figure out

85
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: how to cure. No, it is not cancer. It is guns,

86
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: and still we do nothing. So for people that cover

87
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the news on a regular basis, there comes a time

88
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: when you're just like, oh, I guess this story isn't

89
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: enough to cover for me. Oh I'm going to keep

90
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: covering the shootings until they stop. Until they stop, because

91
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: we need to know about all of them. As a

92
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: clear reminder that our politicians are bought and sold by

93
00:06:52,760 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: the NRA and gun manufacturers and whomever else profits from

94
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: continued terrorism and violence right and fear, because people make

95
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: money off of this, just like they make money off

96
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: of war. So it's asking ourselves the question, well, who

97
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: is making money from this? Who is profiting off of

98
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: these consistent acts of domestic terrorism. You know, just recently

99
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: you had the parents of a shooter go on trial, right,

100
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: the mother has gone on trial, not the father yet

101
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: and found guilty, right for the first time ever. And

102
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm just like, these are the types of cases that matter,

103
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: These are the things that we need to figure out

104
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: because you know, who made it so that you can't

105
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: sue gun manufacturers Congress right the same way that they

106
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: made it so that you can't sue the police, so

107
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: that they just can, you know, because it'd be too

108
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: complicated for them to do their jobs and just not

109
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: be able to shoot and kill whomever they want or

110
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: suffocate and choke whomever they want. It's wild, you know,

111
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: it's wild. So that is unfortunately how the week began

112
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: right after the super Bowl, and then we move into

113
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to once again be standing trial

114
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: for the hush money fraud case, not to be confused

115
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: with all the other fraudulent cases that he has, and

116
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, the judge Manhattan has decided he's going to

117
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: stand trial the data set from March twenty fifth on

118
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: the Stormy Daniels hush money case, which feels like that

119
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: was like one hundred years ago that we heard about

120
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that case. And it just you know, folks, I know

121
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: that I should be holding on to some semblance of hope,

122
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: but at this point, it's like you lose track of

123
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the amount of cases, you lose track of the amount

124
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: of appeals, and we're just numb and desensitized to it

125
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: because guess who's still running for president Donald Trump? Guess

126
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: who has a fifty to fifty chance of winning the

127
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: presidency Donald Trump. Right, We're more concerned with who Fannie

128
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: Willis is fucking in Georgia, right than the two years

129
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: worth of investigations that she did. Now, let me tell

130
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: you something, I'm gonna be one of the first people

131
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: to be like, what the fuck were you thinking. Black

132
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: people are taught from the beginning that you need to

133
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: be twice as good to get half as fucking much,

134
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: So why you would take any type of fucking risk

135
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: that could potentially jeopardize one of the most important fucking trials.

136
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I do know that if

137
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: she were a white man, that this would just be like,

138
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: oh well and move on. But because she is a

139
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: black woman that had the audacity to take on a

140
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: bunch of powerful white men, oh they're gonna come for her,

141
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: and that case is going to fucking disappear. So it's just,

142
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's exhausting, all of it. Keeping up with

143
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: all of it is exhausting. It is just like, at

144
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: this point, what does actually matter? You know, as it

145
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: pertains to all of the trials, Because you know, Donald

146
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: Trump can appeal, he can appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal,

147
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: until the cows come home. The Supreme Court are also

148
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: bought and sold right by right wing billionaires, So there's

149
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: actually no judgment that we're waiting on here that is

150
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: going to lead to any type of justice happening. We

151
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: already know the outcome. So it's just like a foregone conclusion.

152
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: And this is what I keep saying. The only thing

153
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: that we are going to be able to rely on,

154
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: the only thing that we have control over is our vote.

155
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: That's it. The courts are not going to save us, right,

156
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: So that's it. And if Donald Trump becomes president again

157
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: and you know, begins his campaign as dictator like he's

158
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: saying that he's going to do, and I'm just so

159
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: confused why motherfuckers don't believe what he's saying. He said

160
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: that when he came into office the first time, he

161
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: was going to institute a Muslim ban. That is exactly

162
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: what he did. Sure was rejected by the courts, and

163
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: then he found a way to do it. He said

164
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: that he was going to make you know, migrants and

165
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: immigrants suffer. He threw their babies in k and they

166
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: still haven't been reunited, all of them with their families. Right,

167
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: So at this stage in the game, folks, it's like

168
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: the only thing that is standing between us and the

169
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: end of democracy is us. We're the ones that we

170
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: are waiting for sure as fuck. Is not Merrick Garland,

171
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: it's not you know, the Special Council, right, it's not

172
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: any of the judges, it's not Judge Chunkin, it's not

173
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. It's us. We're it. So the fact

174
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: is that people telling me that they can't stomach Biden.

175
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I can't really stomach what Biden is doing in Gaza

176
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: and Israel. I can't stomach the fact that, like the

177
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Associated Press can't manage to say that thirteen thousand children

178
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: have been killed murdered, right instead they say minors. I

179
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: can't imagine what it is like to live in constant fary,

180
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you know. The other day, I'm thinking to myself, like,

181
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: where do you go when you have nowhere to go?

182
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: What do you take? How do you keep moving? And

183
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: these are the thoughts that I have that keep me

184
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: up at night, that have me lose sleep. And then

185
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: I think to myself, like I can't get stuck in

186
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: that cycle of thinking because these people, those people are

187
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: relying on us to hold on to something, right, because

188
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump becomes president, what the fuck do you

189
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: think is going to happen in Ukraine, in Gaza, around

190
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the fucking globe? There will be no intervention, right, so

191
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: we won't have to worry about our worst imagination's coming

192
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: true and whether or not they will, because he's telling you,

193
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: They are telling you they got billions of dollars funding it.

194
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: So if you can't stomach what you are seeing elsewhere,

195
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: how are you gonna be able to deal with it

196
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: in the United States? Because that's what's coming here. I

197
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: just I don't get how you think that losing how

198
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: people think losing democracy here is somehow going to ensure

199
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: democracy elsewhere? And do I know how fucked up our

200
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: democracy is. I am a black queer woman in America.

201
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Yes I'm very well aware, But I also know that

202
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: what we are dealing with right now is still better

203
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: than what the people are dealing with and facing day

204
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: in and day out, with being bombarded with bombs, with

205
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: being picked off of the street, young boys as young

206
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, under the age of ten, being stripped and

207
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: thrown into the back of vehicles, never to be seen

208
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: or heard from again. Because you know who's searching for them. Family,

209
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: community gone wiped out. You know, it's just like I

210
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: tell you that some it just makes me think that

211
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: our laws are just so fucked up that Donald Trump

212
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: is even a possibility. Shows you all of the ways

213
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: that white supremacy exists, that patriarchy exists, right, like there

214
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: is no middle ground or oh well, maybe it's like no.

215
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: A man convicted of sexual assault, a man that is

216
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: referred to Mexicans as rapists and murderers, that is referred

217
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: to African nations as shithole countries, that has said that

218
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: members of his own party do not have the complexion

219
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: to be his running mate. A man that says that

220
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: he's going to be a dictator on day one. A

221
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: person who is completely and totally grifted off of every

222
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: aspect of being president of the United States, that has

223
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: played foot seas with dictators, that almost took us into

224
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: nuclear war via Twitter. This is the man that people

225
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: are considering to have another term, like they think that

226
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: that is going to be the last term. I'm like,

227
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: what the fuck, It's like, I don't know. This is

228
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: why I appreciate you all for sending me, you know,

229
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: DMS and messages and commenting, you know, for my patrons

230
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: who comment under the videos and send me notes, because

231
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: I tell you that most weeks, I feel like I

232
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: am screaming into a void and that no one hears.

233
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: And worse yet, people here they just don't care. And

234
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: that is a hard thing to deal with on a

235
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: regular basis. Right that you are trying to do your

236
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: best to help in the ways that you can, people

237
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: are just like, yeah, no, I'm good. I know that

238
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: people are hurting. I am hurting. I know that people

239
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: are exhausted. I'm exhausted. Look at me. I mean the

240
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: fucking you know, I could I could pack, you know,

241
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: fill up the bags under my eyes right with clothing,

242
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: like that's how big they are. But we are just

243
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: we don't have an alternative. And the idea that some

244
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: alternative for the Democratic nominee is going to somehow present

245
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: itself and then we were all gonna be well is

246
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: a lie. It is a fantasy. So I'm like, sometimes

247
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: you just gotta deal with the cards that you're dealt, Like,

248
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: you don't just get to flip the table like this

249
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: is a reality TV show and walk away because the

250
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: consequences are just too fucking stark and too real. So

251
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: I pray what I ask of all of you is

252
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: to continue in the conversations with friends, colleagues, loved ones,

253
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, children that are going to be a voting age,

254
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: and like lay it out, you know, tell them that

255
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: you hear them, that you hear and you share in

256
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: their frustration, but that they don't know what they are

257
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: getting ready for. If they choose to not vote, they

258
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: better be prepared to live with the consequences, not for

259
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: four years, but for four generations. You know, post the

260
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: Civil War reconstruction only lasted twelve years, and then following

261
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: that one hundred years of Jim Crow. You think it

262
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: can happen again, It can, it will, and it is.

263
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, dear friends, on woke
