<v Speaker 1>know that there will be familiar faces, and by faces,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean avatars that come up. But I'm really excited

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>about bringing the Danielle Moody Show, particularly with a little

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>over a month to go until the election, folks, and

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we need more community and more conversations.

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I love podcasting, but I really have been enjoying going

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>live with Jajahat Ali at twelve pm Eastern on Democracy

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Ish over on YouTube, and I think that a Monday

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>through Thursday five pm Eastern show that is alive will

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of fun. That way, you can connect

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>with other people who are like minded, be in conversation

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>get advice, share jokes like just build better community. That

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm seeking to do over on YouTube. So

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I hope that you all will join me over there

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>today five pm Eastern, We're kicking off the Danielle Moody Show. Okay, So,

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>without further ado, my dear dear friends. Wow, it's not

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>even October. I keep saying this, you know, because like

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>in politics, they're always like before the election, the October

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Surprise and what happens, And it's like, without bail, something happens.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>But it feels like, I mean, I don't know, folks,

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't we been living inside of like a seven year

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>October surprise where like every day something seems to pop

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>off and we're just like, oh my god, wow, crazy,

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>And then the next day it's like, oh my god,

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>wow crazier to the point where check this out, to

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the point where this because I wasn't even going to

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>bring this up today and so now I need to

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>pull it up as I'm talking. But did you all

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>hear that Kamala Harris's one of her offices were shot

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>at so a couple of days ago. This is now

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>last week at this point, harris campaign office in Arizona

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>damaged by a parent gunfire is what the headline at

0:02:54.760 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>ABC News was. And apparently the same office was shot

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>out a week prior, and there are pictures of bullet

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>holes in the glass and glass shattering. And would you

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>understand that this hasn't even broken through like news news

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like disrupted cable news to where we're having wallda wall

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>coverage about shit like this. And I'm just mentioning it

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>now because it just popped into my mind that I

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>hadn't brought it up. I don't think on any of

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>my shows because it hasn't taken hold, right, And I'm

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>just like, what does that mean? What does it mean

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that we are living in political times where people, buildings,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>things get shot up, that that has become like what

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>so commonplace that we just shrug our shoulders at it.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's so fucking wild. So thank god obviously no

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>one was hurt, because I think that if somebody had

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>been hurt, if somebody had been shot, then you know,

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it would make bigger news. But I think that that

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the problem, right, And you know the problem is

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that political violence since Donald Trump came down that escalator

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>has just become normalized. Right, Stochastic terrorism is just like

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>another Monday or a day that ends in Why because

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>we have representatives like Clay Higgins who took to his

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>social media last week to disparage and threaten the Haitian

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>community in this country and then you know, oh, takes

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the post down, but then goes on cable news and says,

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I can say whatever the fuck I want. These people

0:04:55.200 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>do not give a fuck the laws, political news, they

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>don't matter. You know, even when the Fisher Price speaker,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaker Johnson, was asked about, you know, Clay Higgins's remarks

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>with regard to the Haitian people, he rolled his eyes

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and said, oh, he's just outspoken, and you know he's

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a decent man and a gentleman, and he went and

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>prayed on it and then took it down after he

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>was confronted on the floor. Don't talk to me, don't

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>use the fucking term gentleman and say that somebody who

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>is literally a rabid racist is just outspoken. Like that's

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the thing. That's the gas lighting that the Republican Party

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.799
<v Speaker 1>has been using, that mainstream media has now incorporated into

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>their coverage that oh, we are supposed to applaud brash,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>authentic speak right, so to speak, because there are no

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>norms with what kind of language is acceptable in public discourse, right.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And it seems to me that the only way that

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody is actually referred to as a racist is if

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>they won self identify and then two if they just

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>happen to use the N word. But everything else is

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty much fair game. That's that's what our mainstream corporate

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>media has taught people over the last over the last

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>almost eight to ten years under Donald Trump. And so

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this story you know, was buried right in Tempe, Arizona,

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>was just did not come above the fold or ring

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>alarms to any real pips. And so I'm bringing it

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to you because I think that it's important for us

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to recognize where we are. It's the same thing that

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>happens with shootings these days. If it's not like, you know,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>four is the barometer apparently, or I think they might

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>have raised it for what is considered a mass shooting.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>But because so many you know, h one, two, three,

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>four people are being shot these days that they want

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to raise it so that we're not always talking about

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>mass shootings. Is that not insane? So raise the threshold

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>so that it doesn't seem like it's happening all the time,

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>But it is happening all the time. But now we

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>just want to make it so if it's five or more,

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>ten or more people that are shot and killed, and

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>then we cover the story. I tell you, folks, it

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is we living in wild times. I feel like we're

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>literally inside of the wild, wild West. And I will

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>say this, you know, as we're watching the poles, which

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I tell you all to take with a grain of salt.

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>What is just still so shocking to me. And I

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>talked about this last week as well, is the poll

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>numbers for white women and the fact that like they're

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>not quitting on Donald Trump. I talked about this on

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Friday on Democracy Ish when I went live, like they

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent, fifty percent of white women are still voting

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump. And by the way, I don't need

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of white women in the comments telling me

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not me. It's not me, it's somebody, y'all. And

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>if it's not you, then go get your friends, go

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>get your family members, right. Host some parties, host some zooms,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>host some conversations, because if it's not you, then you

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 1>need to check on who the fuck is in your circle,

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>because it can't be fifty percent that y'all don't know.

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's not every other group's responsibility to try and

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>wake these women up. That's why I keep saying that

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>it's everyone's responsibilities. As we barreled down to the last

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>days of this campaign, folks like this shit is razor thin,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and it is terrifying. It is terrifying that JD. Van's

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a man that thinks so fucking little of women outside

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of us being incubators for patriarchy and for white women

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 1>to be incubators for white supremacy, that like this man

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>could be a heartbeat away from the white from the

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>becoming president, and Donald Trump only stays eating McDonald. So

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>like him dropping dead is not, you know, something that's

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>impossible to occur. And it's one of the reasons why

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.959
<v Speaker 1>I believe that JD. Vans was placed in that position,

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>because you know this dot c A was released and

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you can see from the jump that JD. Vans never

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>like Donald Trump. He likes money and he likes power,

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>both of which he got from Peter Thiel. And then

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you hook up with the folks at the Heritage Foundation,

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>he's the one that's writing the forward of Project twenty

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. They knew what they were doing. Donald Trump

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is their whale. He's the one that brings in, right,

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the quote unquote thing jd. Vance doesn't have a personality,

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>has a personality of a communion fucking wafer that you

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>want to choke on. So you have Donald Trump be

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the razzle dazzle, right that then ushers in this Christian fundamentalist,

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>white supremaist ideology that then becomes like the law of

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the land, folks, we got a fifty to fifty chance

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that their warped vision of America doesn't become our norm,

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>peeling away one right after the other, turning this place

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>into a just dystopia. So you know, for those women

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>who you know continually want to say to me, not

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>this white woman, I say, go get your people, Go

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>get your people, because they're the ones that are clearly

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, need a talking to, need a kind ear

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>or shoulder to be able to get through to them,

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>because apparently taking away abortion is not enough, taking away

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>bodily autonomy is not enough. So maybe when they're also

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to work, not allowed to vote, and then

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 1>it's too late, that then maybe some action will be taken,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, by then it'll be too late. So,

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, I look at these stories that are coming up,

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and I am trying to keep my spirits up because

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the work that the Democratic Party has

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>been doing since July, since this change, has been what

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I have been waiting on for so many years. The fight,

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the energy right, the recognition that money actually needs to

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>go to down ballot seats, that this election isn't just

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>about the presidency. It is about who is at the

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>school board, the city council, in the state houses, you know,

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>like it is about those positions, because what the maga

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>verse has been doing is infiltrating all of these smaller offices,

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>wielding power and reshaping this country town by town, city

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>by city, and as Steve Bannon said, village by village.

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Their agenda, folks, is so big, so audacious, and they

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 1>implement it bite by bite. And so if we are

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>just consistently focused on the top of the ticket, then

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>we're missing the opportunity. So the fact that while the

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>RNC is paying money for Laura Trump to believe that

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>she's going to be the next American idol, that the

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are doing what they need to do in order

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>to flip the seats that we need. And the thing

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.199
<v Speaker 1>that I want folks to understand too, as we make

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>our way through this election. Much in the same way

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>that I think that we wanted to believe that twenty

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty we were going to get rid of Trump, We're

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>going to sigh, you know, this big relief, and then

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>we were going to go back to life as normal.

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And what do I mean by life as normal? Meaning

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that you could not utter the president's name every other

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>second of the day, you could not have your phone

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>glued to the alerts on social media to make sure

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that they hadn't tweeted us into World War three, or

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know, there weren't some other type of subterfuge

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>or attacks that were happening, or the alerts about how

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>many you know, trials Donald Trump is gonna be facing,

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and all of these things. It's been exhausting, we know this,

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and so this belief that if we just vote this

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>time that it all goes away. I think that we

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>need to divorce ourselves from that dream. It's not true.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>We're going to need to remain vigilant, not on edge.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Right if Kamala Harris is able to win, but we're

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>going to need to remain vigilant. We're going to need

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to remain tapped in because Project twenty twenty five will

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>turn into Project twenty twenty six, twenty seven to twenty

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 1>eight and onward. That if they lose this time, it's

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>not as if they're gonna go lick their wounds and

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>go back to their you know, Reaganesque beliefs, which were

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>also terrible, but at least they weren't anti democratic. They're

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>not gonna do that, folks. They're going to polish off

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a younger, sharper version of Donald Trump and put that

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>in America's face and say we can't all be fascist. Look,

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>this one wears a sweater vest like they fucking did

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>with Youngkin in Virginia. You know, they speak in complete

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>sentences so they can handle everything. No, they have sworn

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>their allegiance not to the Constitution of these United States

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and not to the flag, but to a party. They

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>believe in party over everything, and so Republicans cannot be trusted,

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>not now, not ever. And it's going to be up

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to us, all of us again, to keep eyes wide

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>open and make sure that we are engaged not just

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>every four years, not just every two years, but every year,

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>making sure that we know what are our kids learning,

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>what books are allowed inside of their schools, what program

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>who's sitting on what boards in my town? Are there vacancies?

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Because I got time and can run. If we are

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>going to reimagine America and to create the multiracial democracy

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>that we deserve, it isn't going to be one and

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>done after November fifth. It can't be because what is

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>scary to me is that it took Donald Trump and

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>company four years to undo two hundred and forty eight

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>two one hundred and forty eight years took Donald Trump

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in company four to place the right wing justices, to

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 1>remake the federal benches, to instill religious zealous and white supremacists,

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:14.119
<v Speaker 1>to undo the last sixty years of liberation movements in

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 1>this country. So it is going to take us a

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>considerable amount of time to put this country back together again,

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>fortify our democracy, and then only then be able to

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>forge a new path forward. And I don't think that

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>we understand the work that is going to go into

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 1>needing to fortify our democracy so that the likes of

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump the likes of Maga, Republicans are not able

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>once again to slip through the cracks that we will

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:58.199
<v Speaker 1>have lived through the worst and so now have the

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>sense to create the guard rails and the breaks and

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the checks and the real balances so that it never

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>happens again. That's what I want to see Kamala Harris

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and Tim Walls become president and Vice president. I want

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to see the first four years about fortifying our democracy.

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.719
<v Speaker 1>I want to see I don't care if like I

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>don't want them to be concerned about the next four years.

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I want them to be concerned about the four years

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that they are in and doing whatever it is that

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is possible in order to fortify our democracy and continue

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 1>to have conversations about what that looks like. Bring the

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>American people in and make them part of the process.

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>So much work needs to be done, and we all

0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>have roles in the work that needs to be done.

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It isn't just the job of the president or the

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>vice president or those that live inside of the Beltway

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, DC. It's not just the bureaucrats jobs. It's

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:18.399
<v Speaker 1>our jobs as citizens. Because we have elected some of

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:31.959
<v Speaker 1>the most craven, disgraceful disingenuous, disgusting people into office, and

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>they have weaponized our exhaustion and ignorance and turn democracy

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>on its head. And the only way that we turn

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 1>it right side back up or right side up is

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 1>by staying focused, staying connected, staying engaged, staying hopeful, staying positive,

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>staying in a place of dreaming so that we can

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>reimagine this country and all of its potential. That's the

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 1>work ahead. That is it for me today, dear friends
