WEBVTT - People Are Not Statistics

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wokate f Daily with

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>me your girl Danny L. Moody recording from the Home Bunker.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Well applause, applause, applause. We've made it to the end

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of yet another week here in America. And you know, folks,

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I am not kidding when I say applause applause, because

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>some weeks I just don't know. I just don't know

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>if we'll make it through. And by we, I mean me.

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Where to begin on this fuck It Friday? There are

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>so many things to say fuck it to, so I'm

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>just gonna rattle off the dome. But I got to

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>start with Tim Scott. I gotta start with Tim Scott, y'all.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And I have to find nice words, not the words

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that I want you to know. And if you're watching

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>this video, look into my eyes that I want to

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 1>use about Tim Scott. But I'm not gonna use those

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>words because I'm better than that. But what I will

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>say is that we have never ever seen a man

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>debase himself the way that Tim Scott did this week

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump. No one is paying Tim Scott to

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be this step and fetch it fool that he offers

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>himself up to be for free. Donald Trump says to

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>him and remarks at the fact that he is a

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>senator out of South Carolina that was appointed by Nicky

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Haley and yet he has endorsed Donald Trump. Tim Scott,

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>with a shit eating grin on his face, comes behind

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and gets up to the microphone and says,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate Nicky Haley, I just love you. Wow.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>All I can say is that at least at least

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Clarence Thomas gets paid for his fuckery right, that he

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>has a billion dollar sugar daddy that has been setting

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>up his life and his wife's life. And is you

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know the kiddy's raisings life, you know, nice and easy,

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that he's on jets and yachts and like doing the

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>fucking most. Do you know what I'm saying? What is

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Tim Scott get out of his fuckery, of his buffoonery right?

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Not a goddamn thing. Also to boot, he has just

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>announced his engagement to a woman that no one has

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>ever seen him with, was not dating, did not have

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a girlfriend, and now all of a sudden he has

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>found some white woman to put a ring on. And

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and his response to that says, well, we

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>never thought it was gonna happen, you know. That was

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>his congratulations to that fool. You know, sometimes I ask myself, like,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>what is it that these people get from groveling on

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>their knees to be loved by Donald Trump? Like what

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is it that they are getting in return? I don't

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>think we will ever truly understand it, because I've never

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>found myself in a position to want to debase myself

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>degrade myself in such a manner right that I could

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>even get into the mindset. It's so foreign to me.

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. But it'll continue, you know, because

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>behind Donald Trump the day that Tim Scott bowed his

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>love for him was vivek Ramaswami and the other fucking

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>losers that Donald Trump has made a fool of in

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>front of national audiences. And yet there they are patting

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>him on the back, smiling and chuckling on a stage

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>with them, as if Donald Trump gives a fuck about them.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of not giving a fuck Nicki Haley, So, Nicky

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Haley did not exit the race in the way that

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has wanted her to exit the race, and

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he is now following by the way which wasn't a

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>blowout for Donald Trump in New Hampshire. Like, I just

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>want folks to get that clear too, that I expected

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>when the polls closed in New Hampshire that Donald Trump

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.559
<v Speaker 1>would have seventy eighty percent of the vote. He had

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>a little over fifty. Nicky Haley had forty five percent

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of the vote. And as of this recording, her super

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 1>pack is saying that they raised fifty million dollars in

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of days. Right, So we all know

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that Nicky Haley is in for this for the money,

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>for the cash grab. But the reality is that it

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a slam dunk for Donald Trump. We knew he

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>was gonna win, but my assumption in the way that

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>media has been talking about it was that he was

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna win, you know, by ten, fifteen, twenty thirty, forty

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty points. Right, So that was very eye opening when

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you break down the people who did end up in

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Nicky Helly's camp and so on to South Carolina we go.

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And what Donald Trump is vowing right now as he

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is calling Nicky Haley everything other than her name, is

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>he has vowed to blacklist the billion dollar donors that

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>are funding her campaign. He has vowed to make it hurt,

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and he is vowed to destroy Nicki Haley right because

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>she's refusing to exit the race. Now understand, I don't

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>believe that Nicki Helly has a shot in hell. She's

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>not going to win South Carolina, her home state, and

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to continue on. But she will stay

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in the race so long as the money doesn't dry up.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>So these billionaires, right, they have tens of millions of

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars that they can just throw away and they'll continue

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to do so. I don't know the point of it,

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>but what I do know is that it absolutely favors

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden for Nicki Haley to stay in the race

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>because Donald Trump is going to become increasingly unhinged. He's

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>going to start saying a lot of hot shit right

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that he's been saying about her, and he's going to

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>do it over and over and over again. And if

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Biden campaign, I'm just pulling clips. I'm running

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>these people's mouths, do you know what I'm saying? But

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>we have yet to see that out of this campaign.

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they're waiting for. But the fact is,

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, when the money drives up, Nicky Haley will

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>do what every other person has done. They will bow out.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll say I swore pledge to support the Republican nominee,

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and that nominee is Donald Trump, and I stand by him,

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and I hope that he understands that I was just

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a worthy opponent. Blah blah blah blah blah. So you know,

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>we know how this is going to end. But what

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to draw attention to is the fact that

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trump is saying about blacklisting billionaires and about

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>going after his political opponent and making it hurt, these

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>are not the things that a president says, right. These

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>are not the actions of somebody that wants to be president.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It's talk that comes out of the mouth of a

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>mob boss, and it is that of an authoritarian and

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a dictator, right, And Nobody's going to say anything, and

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody's going to draw attention to that because we've all

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>become so numb by the bullshit rhetoric that comes out

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Trump's mouth that you know, all of this

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>just seems normal. It's not, and it should never seem

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>normal or become normal. But it is him using the

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>same playbook that he's used on everybody. It's going to

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>be how he governs. You cross him, you ask a question,

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't just bow, kiss the ring, kiss the feet,

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>kiss his ass, do whatever, you will be exiled. Like

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that's how these people want to rock. So it is

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>beyond me. It is beyond me to continue to pledge

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>your allegiance to a man that has no allegiance to anyone,

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.599
<v Speaker 1>not even his own fucking kids. Do you know what

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So it's beyond It's above me. Now next

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>up on my fuck it list. And this is not

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>even I don't even know how to say it, so

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna say it. A report has come out

0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>from the American Medical Association saying that in the sixties

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>months since Roe v. Wade has been overturned and that

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Texas has instituted an entire abortion ban total abortion ban

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in the state, there have been over twenty six thousand

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>rape related pregnancies. Let me say that again. In the

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>sixteen months since Texas has instituted a full and complete

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>abortion ban in their state, with no exemptions for rape, incest,

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>or the life of the pregnant person, there have been

0:09:51.679 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty six thousand rape related pregnancies in that state, which

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>by far eclipse the other fourteen states that have total

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>abortion fans. Back in twenty twenty two, Greg Gabbitt said

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that he would eliminate rape in the state, so there

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>would be no reason for anyone to seek out an abortion,

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>so that they did not have the life sentence of

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>carrying their rapist baby. We're going to eliminate rape. Of course,

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody asked the follow up question as to how that

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is going to happen. But with twenty six thousand rape

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>related pregnancies, I guess he didn't get that job done.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I guess he was too busy defying the Supreme Court

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and continuing to put up razor wire fences to maim

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and kill immigrants that are trying to come into the

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>country and seek asylum. Guess he was too busy doing that, right,

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>He was too busy trying to end the life of

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>one person by ruining the lives of others. Let me

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>tell you something, Greg Abbott and the Republican Maga Supremacist

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Party are sick. They are so sick, so violent, so grotesque,

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>so depraved in their view of America and their role

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>as political leaders. These are people who should not be

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in charge of a fucking thing, let alone a state

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>or a country. And so when I saw that number,

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>all I can think about, folks, is what I want

0:11:50.880 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>us to truly sit with. It's not just stats. These

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>are people. These are women who have been brutalized, assaulted, traumatized,

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and are being re traumatized by the state that they

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>live in to carry the baby of the person who

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>rape them, or if they actually have the means and

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the ability to leave the state in order to have

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>an abortion, they risk going to jail. What kind of

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>party is this? What kind of country is this? And

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So for those people who continue to want to tell

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>me in my comments sections that you're not going to

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 1>vote for Joe Biden because he doesn't believe in your values,

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>what is happening in Texas will be nationalized. There will

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>be a national abortion band. There will be nowhere for

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>women and people with uteruses to go when tragedy strikes.

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Is this what you want for yourself, for the next generation,

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>for your grandchildren, for your daughters, for your nieces. You

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 1>think that somehow lobbing off some bullshit protests vote is

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>going to change this country, It's not. I mean it'll

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>change it it'll change it for the worst. It'll ensure

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.839
<v Speaker 1>that generations to come won't know anything about democracy because

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it won't exist. Neither will textbooks, neither will the right

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to be to be employed and be black. Everyone who

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is not white, who is not cis, who is not straight,

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>who is not Christian, they will make life a living hell.

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you help bring democracy to other nations and

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>other places that are in deep suffering, like the Palestinians

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza. If you lose your own democracy, you can't

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>How you change things right from the inside out or

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the outside in via protest, via boycott the inside by

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>starting to run third party candidates at all levels of government.

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't start with the pres You start with school

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>boards and city councils and townships and appointments, and you

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>run slights and you work those people up. But to say,

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're seeing headlines like this, twenty six thousand women

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>being forced to carry their rapist babies, and we think

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that that's gonna change under Donald Trump? Are we fucking

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>kidding ourselves? Yeah, it'll change, It'll get worse. That number

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>will go from twenty six thousand to millions in a

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>blink of a fucking eye. It's exhausting, I know, everywhere

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it just you know, it feels like the walls are

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>closing in. You can't find light anywhere, and it's becoming

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>hard to breathe. The air is getting thick. And what

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to offer in the last couple of minutes

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>is a transition into a feel good Friday. You know.

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to shout out one of my followers, Phoebe,

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>who DM me asking if I had started working out again,

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>because they'd find working out to be a really good

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>outlet for the anger and the rage. And I was

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>so appreciative of this DM, because the fact is I

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>did start working out again, you know, and I feel

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a shift this time because I want to really practice discipline, focus,

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, in the realm of my health and

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>well being, because everywhere I look, if I feel like

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 1>somebody's trying to kill me, right, whether it's the food

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that we're ingesting, the cops that are out on the street,

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 1>right these maga supreme Like, So my way to combat

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is to focus on getting as healthy as possible, being

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>as mindful as possible, being as you know, rested as possible,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because we're getting it from every single angle. So if

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you're not taking care of your health and you, like me,

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>fall off into bad patterns of either eating too much

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>or drinking too much, or smoking too much, or whatever

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 1>your vices happen to be, ask yourself who that's helping.

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Because it's helping them because they need us to be

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>weak and to be hopeless, to be sick so that

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they can finish us off. Let's not give them that ability.

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>We have to be able to focus and control the

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>things that we can control, make progress where we can

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>make progress. Sometimes it's incremental, sometimes it's big. But if

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we can focus on those things rather than what is

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>being taken away, if we can focus on what we

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 1>can give ourselves of how we fill ourselves up with

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:31.479
<v Speaker 1>the nourishment for our physical, mental, spiritual selves, then we

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>will continue to have the strength and the power to persist.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Because when I tell you that what we are fighting for,

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we may never see the fruits of that labor. We

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>will most likely not see the fruits of that labor.

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't mean that you don't fight. But in

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:55.360
<v Speaker 1>order to fight, we need to be well. We need

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to be putting our cells number one, two, and three

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>on our priority list before we get to anything else.

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you moved today? Have you breathed today? You know, deep, beautiful,

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>nourishing breaths. Have you found something to be grateful for today?

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Whatever your practice may be, but whatever it is, folks,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 1>we need to fill ourselves up with it, you know,

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>find accountability, partners and friends and family. Because when we

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>allow these things, the nourishment that is necessary in order

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 1>to give our bodies and our minds and our spirit

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>strength when they fall by the wayside, the opposition wins

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 1>because we become easy to take advantage of. So I

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>want to thank listener Phoebe for you know, checking in

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.479
<v Speaker 1>on how I am taking care of myself, and I

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>turn that over to all of you. How are you

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.360
<v Speaker 1>taking care of yourselves on a regular basis? How are

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 1>you nourishing your spirit? You know? Share it in the

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>comments below this video. If you are a patron DM,

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>you know this is about creating community so that we

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>can get through this together. That is it for me today,

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 1>dear friends, on this fuck It Friday. As always, power

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.440

<v Speaker 1>woke and stay woke as fuck.
