It is about how 23 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: you are voting and what the fuck it is that 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: you were saying.

If 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: it was a dignified and deliberative body, then guess what 27 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: it would have done when it had two opportunities. It 28 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: would have voted to impeach Donald Trump because it would 29 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: have put the country ahead of its part and power. 30 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: But you all didn't do that. Right. You have members 31 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: of your party that are giving hand jobs at family 32 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: theater events. Right.

You have members 34 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: of your party that find no problem in screaming down 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: and shouting down the President of the United States at 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: the State of the Union. Right. You have a leader 37 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: of your party that talks about grabbing women by the pussy, 38 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: that is going around to his rallies and signing women's boobs. 39 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Abraham Lincoln wouldn't have done that. So 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: miss me with your fucking idea around decorum and what 41 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: it means to be a dignified body. You don't even 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: know how to be a dignified fucking party. Okay with 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: the riff rap gutter rats that you have allowed to 44 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: take over, Miss me with it. You saw that on 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: the House floor during those fifteen those fourteen failed votes 46 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: for that fish, that's your price, Speaker of the House, 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: that two members of Congress almost came fist to blows. 48 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: But this is the party that wants the lecturers on Decora, 49 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: Fox News wants to run segments about suits. Give me 50 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: a break, friends. It's like it's as if they think 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: all of us are stupid, right, that we are just 52 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: sitting around and just believe the words that are coming 53 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: out of coming out of their mouths as opposed to 54 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: the actions that they display on a regular basis. We 55 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: had a member just recently want to attack Merrick Garland 56 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: write and say that he slow walked investigations on Hillary 57 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: Clinton and slow walked on Hunter Biden, but went full 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: speed ahead on Donald Trump. And the insurrectionists were filled 59 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: with people pushing baby cards and they were just good 60 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: citizens and tourists that wanted their country to do better 61 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: for them. Bitch, shut up Republicans please stop rewriting what 62 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: it is that we all saw with our own you 63 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: fucking eyes. And you're right about one thing. Yeah, Marrey 64 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: Garland does slow walk. He slow walks every fucking thing. 65 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: Because the reason why that we have an insurrectionist at 66 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: the top of the ticket right now is because he 67 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: decided to not start investigating him until last fucking year 68 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: two years have passed, right, and was hoping maybe Donald 69 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Trump won't run for president, so I won't have to 70 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: do my job. So that's the only thing that you're 71 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: right about. But talking about the the insurrectionists being filled 72 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: with people that were pushing babies, right, that were just 73 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: well meaning citizens, bitch. We saw them climbing walls, clabbering 74 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: the police, shitting in the Capitol building. What are you 75 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: talking about. No matter how many times that the Republican 76 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Party wants to say that this was just some type 77 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: of lost tourist group, all you have to say are 78 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: run the tapes from every fucking angle, thousands of people. 79 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was made aware. Cassidy Hutchinson told us the 80 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: people that are in the crowd, sir, they have weapons, 81 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: They're not here to harm me. Let them through. You 82 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: want to talk about decorum. You want to talk about 83 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: suits and ties. I don't give a fuck. This Republican 84 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: Party has zero decorum, has zero class, has zero tact 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: and zero care about democracy or this country. So you 86 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: can distract with all of your talk around what it 87 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: is that people are wearing. I care more about what 88 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: people are doing or not doing, and the people inside 89 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: of this Republican Party, what they are doing is continuing 90 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: on with their coup to undo American democracy, continue on 91 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: with their desire to not only police the wombs of people, 92 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: but also police their movement. Right that are making it 93 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: sure that if you're right child is raped, that they 94 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: have absolutely no recourse right that they believe. You know 95 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 1: that any child is a gift from God, right doesn't 96 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: matter the trauma that they were born out of. These 97 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: are the same people that are taking books off of 98 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: the shelf and saying that your kids are not old 99 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: enough to be uncomfortable with this history, but with this 100 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: country's past history, but you're old enough to be named 101 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: a mother at ten years old, which was an actual 102 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: case of a young girl that was raped at ten 103 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: years old, had to leave her state so that she 104 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: could go to another one to get an abortion, not 105 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: old enough to read a book, but old enough to 106 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: breastfeed and be a mother. That's the Republican Party, right 107 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: want to keep people with uteruses under educated in a house, 108 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: locked in to motherhood, no opportunities and no pathway out. 109 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: I just and so when I see this story, like, 110 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't not say anything about it because on its 111 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: face it's ridiculous, But it also goes to show you 112 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: the blatant hypocrisy that these people still believe in their 113 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: minds that they're the ones that are dignified, that they're 114 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: the ones that are the grown ups in the room. 115 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: When you allowed the clowns to run the circus, right like, 116 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: you lost all credibility. When Marjorie Taylor Green is your 117 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: mascot for Republican morality, you've lost all credibility. You got 118 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy right now, who everyone is writing articles about 119 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: the fact that he is failing because we thought he 120 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: was going to succeed. He failed fourteen times before he 121 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: could get it up write the votes. So give me 122 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: a break, because we thought that he was going to 123 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: be some type of memorable and powerful speaker. I don't 124 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: think so. But if we have a government shutdown, which 125 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: it's looking more and more likely that that is going 126 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: to happen. It is going to arrest, surely on the 127 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: shoulders of Kevin McCarthy for his inability to get his 128 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: caucus together because he gave the keys to the car 129 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to the Freedom Caucus. The Freedom Caucus doesn't give a 130 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: fuck about freedom. The Freedom Caucus doesn't also give a 131 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: fuck about law and order. The Freedom Caucus doesn't give 132 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a fuck about the American public or also making good 133 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: on our debts. The Freedom Calcus cares a lot about 134 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop, though, and trying to bring down President Biden. 135 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: Here's the thing that I want people to understand and 136 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: just know. They've been investigating Hunter Biden for five years, 137 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: five years, and they came out with some trumped up 138 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: charges that are politicized because anyone else wouldn't be charged, 139 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: but because he's a Biden, he's being charged. But because 140 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner right, and Evanka Trump are associated with Donald Trump, 141 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: they can't be charged, even though they were members of 142 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: the actual administration that they gripped it off of and 143 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: got two billion dollars from the Saudis. Republicans don't want 144 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: an investigation into Trump, who is blatantly crimbing up and 145 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: down this motherfucking block. Right, But five years you got 146 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: more than enough time, more than enough taxpayer dollars to 147 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: come up with something, and you come up with bupkis 148 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: You come up right with the Department of Justice coming 149 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: out and saying that they're going to charge him with 150 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: some gun charges that they know are flabby because they 151 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: were already thrown out in court someplace else that said 152 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: whether or not somebody has been on drugs apparently is 153 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: not an issue with them having a firearm and goes 154 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: against their Second Amendment rights. But that's the charge that 155 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice came out with, why because of 156 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: pressure from the right. So folks, you know, we see 157 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: these things, right, and we see these stories and we 158 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: get caught up in them. And I appreciate uh Senator 159 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: John Fetterman being like, you know, fuck this group, these 160 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: bunch of jag offs is what he called them. And 161 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: I was just like, you know what, I got to agree. 162 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't care what people wear. I don't I care 163 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: what they do. Right, you want to go and cast 164 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: a vote in a fucking bikini in a two to 165 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: two in a you know, in a scuba suit. I 166 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: don't give a fuck so long as the votes that 167 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: you were casting are about progressing and not depressing or 168 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: opressing the American public. So that is basically all of 169 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: my fuckets. Oh no, there's not Sorry, there's another one 170 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: before I move into my feeling portion of Friday. But 171 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: the other piece, friends, is this Rupert Murdoch has announced 172 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: that he is stepping down from his post that he's 173 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: held to destroy the minds of Fox viewers over the 174 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: last seventy years. Seventy years, this man has been funneling 175 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: absolute lies and bullshit, and now, at the end of 176 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: his life, his network has been slapped with I don't 177 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: even know how many lawsuits at this point. Right, they've 178 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: already had to pay out nearly a billion dollars. And 179 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: I would love, I would love Rupert Murdoch to live 180 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: long enough to see that god forsaken network go absolutely bankrupt. 181 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: That's what I want, right, That's what I want. I 182 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: don't want. I don't even want them to be shut down, 183 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, or regulated because they want to use Oh, 184 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: it's free speech. It's free speech to lie to the 185 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: American people. No, I don't care about that. I want 186 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: the whole place to be shuddered because they are bankrupt 187 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: from paying out to all of the people that they 188 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: have lied on. That's what I want to see. And 189 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, he passes his evil wand down to his 190 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: son Lachlan Lackey that we can call him, because that's 191 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: what he is, is his father's Lackey, right, Who's going 192 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: to carry the torch of right wing extremism, white supremacy 193 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: and lies. So bravo, hope you can feel Daddy doctor 194 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: Evil's shoes moving on though, folks. I posted this image 195 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: on my Instagram yesterday that was probably one of the 196 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: most beautiful images I had seen, shot from a storm 197 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: in Arizona. And if you go to my Instagram at 198 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: D two sense dee twcnts, you see this shot of 199 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: a gray sky with two major lightning bolts coming down 200 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: to the ground and it meets a rainbow. The lightning 201 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: bolt actually meets a rainbow. And when I saw the 202 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: image I first saw it on Heavy Discussions Instagram page. 203 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: I was just in awe this lightning bolt in the 204 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: midst of this storm meeting a rainbow, and it was 205 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: such a perfect visual representation of the times that we 206 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: are living in. And what I put in my caption 207 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: was essentially that this is the visual representation of the 208 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: violent tempest that we are living in. Whether you are 209 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: in the United States, you are in Europe, you are 210 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: in a country on the continent of Africa, you are 211 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: in Asia, anywhere things are not trending well. Climate crises 212 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: are headline issues every day, earthquakes, floods, fires that are 213 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: taking thousands, thousands of people's lives in an instant, shootings 214 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: right that are taking people's lives in an instant. And 215 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: yet the picture to me is also a reminder that 216 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: all storms don't last. And I forget whether it was 217 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: Maya Angelou or Tony Morrison who said that eventually storms 218 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: will run out of rain and you will see a 219 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: brighter day. And I think that what is important to 220 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: consistently keep in mind as we navigate really rough, rough 221 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: emotional terrain. I don't even know how to put it 222 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: into words, but many of you folks that listen to 223 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: the shows commented under my Instagram picture saying that they 224 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: are struggling, they are struggling to center joy, they are 225 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: struggling to find joy. Many of you posted underneath this 226 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: video my patrons that said that, you know, they know 227 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: that it's important, but it's a struggle and it is 228 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: Joy requires intention, right, it requires us on a daily basis, 229 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: particularly when we have so many things like just biting 230 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: at our feet, to find the things that we truly 231 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: love that sustain us. Because I'm going to tell you, 232 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: friends that rage alone, anger alone is not sustainable. I 233 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: am learning that every single day that you can only 234 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: hold the hate, the anger, the frustration for so long 235 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: the weight becomes too hard to bear. You gotta put 236 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: it down. So that picture, for me, was this beautiful 237 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: visual representation of the fact that we are in the 238 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: midst of a storm. But at the end of the storm, 239 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: the sky's clear, the sun does come back out again. 240 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: But you have to be, as my mother says to me, 241 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: your own side unshine in the midst of the storm. 242 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: You have got to be your own ray of light 243 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: in this darkness, whatever that looks like for you. But 244 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you are struggling, just know that 245 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: I am right there along with you. There are days 246 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: when I finish recording and I am in tears, and 247 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: I sit right here in front of my computer and 248 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: I weep. There are interviews that I've had to get 249 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: off of quickly after. I thank the people for their 250 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: time because the stories that they are sharing are heartbreaking. 251 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: We feel because we are human, because we care, because 252 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: we want to be of surface, right, we want to 253 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: be of service, I should say, and not on the surface. 254 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: And so know that you are not alone in your struggle, 255 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: and that joy requires intentionality. Happiness is fleeting. Happiness comes 256 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: in some moments, some relationships you know, and then it goes, oh, boy, 257 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: is something that you really right have to plant and sew. 258 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: So I just want folks to continue to pay attention 259 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: to what is going on, but also pay attention to 260 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: what is going on inside of you, because the way 261 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: that they win is through us feeling hopeless. The way 262 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: that they win is through us moving through disease into 263 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: disease that takes us down and takes us out. And 264 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: we need all of us to be healthy and whole 265 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: and healing as we move through this next phase of 266 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: the world, right, because it's not just the next phase 267 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: of America. It's the next phase of the world that 268 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: we are witnessing that we are transitioning in, and it 269 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: is going to depend on all of us whether that 270 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: transision is good or bad right or mixed right because 271 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: we live in pul polarity. But you know, take a 272 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: look at that image when you do have a chance, 273 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, leave a comment under the page, or leave 274 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: a comment if you are one of my wonderful, amazing, 275 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: loyal patrons underneath this video and tell me what it 276 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: brings up for you.

It comes up and it goes down. 279 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: It comes up and it goes down, because that is life. 280 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: But how do you bring yourself back up? How do 281 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: you decide to continue keeping on and keeping on? That's 282 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: how by sharing and caring is how I think that 283 00:19:54,440 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: we will make it through.
