1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha and walking to stuff

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: on her fertility prediction. I heard radio.

3
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Let's put a date on this. It is November eighth,

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. So we are in the fresh hell

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: that was election week. Also content warning. We are talking

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: about the election, about what's happening, and about our own thoughts,

7
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: and I'm suspecting Annie that this is going to be

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: very pessimistic in view. That's not the way we'd love

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: to do our episodes. I mean, I know I am

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: in general a pessimistic individual, the negative Nancy, as we

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: like to say, But I don't think there's any other

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: way around this one but to leane through being a

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: little bit disheartened. So for those of y'all who needs

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: to take it a breather from this, understandable. This is

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: all our own opinions and thoughts. This is in no

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: way in reflection of the entirety of Smantee. So I'm

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: not speaking for Joey, Maya, Christina or any I'm speaking

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: for myself when I'm talking about what's going on through

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: my head. Also that I know we're going to come

20
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: back and revisit a lot. I know I said in

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: the middle of, maybe in the end of or the

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: middle of a conversation about voting as well as my

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: fears and my family issues when it comes to politics.

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: That the one thing I do know for certain is

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: that we do rally. We as a people in a community,

26
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: we in the intersectional feminist community, do come through in

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: rallying together, and we are fighters. So I do understand that.

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: But right now we are in the state of mourning.

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Man.

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I keep thinking a little bit about Kristen and Caroline's episode,

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: and I know, any that's really fresh for you because

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: you were the producer at the time, remo correct and

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: people realized, truly realize that Kristen and Carolina were intersextional

34
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: feminists and what that meant because for a while, when

35
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: the world didn't seem so bleak, we could talk about

36
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: women's issues without being divisive. And I say that loosely

37
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: because it's always been divisive. But on the whole, white

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: women were very accepting on conversations in pockets and not

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: having enough pockets. So we know that. And I'm not

40
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: saying white feminists right now, I'm talking about in general,

41
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: in what we see and what is accepted in the

42
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: women versus men conversation that often happens not necessarily intersectional

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: now in fact, absolutely not intersectional, just women versus men.

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: And that's an old adage, like a housewife joke that

45
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: was accepted, and then when it got to be like

46
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: a stickier issue of like, oh, so we were talking

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: about everybody having rights. No no, no, no no no no,

48
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: I just want to be able to say that to

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: my husband. He needs to clean every now and again

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: and again, this is very heteronormative speculation. So I know,

51
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: a long time ago, when Kristin started the show, it

52
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: was a niche show. It was a niche podcasting in

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: general's niche, and so having easy conversations about women wanting

54
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: more pockets was acceptable. But the minute they came out

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: and talking about their fear of Trump, a big chunk

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: of people left the show disappointed that they were that

57
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: Kristin and Caroline cared. So I know we are far

58
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: away from that. Like I'm pretty we've pretty much established

59
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: since then. Caroline and Kristin established that since then this

60
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: is that show that we are an intersectional feminist show.

61
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: And when we say freedom, when we say equal rights,

62
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: we're talking about equity for everyone so, but it's still

63
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: amazing that we're having a similar episode today. So a

64
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: lot of emotions, a lot of emotions are here, and

65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: now we want to take a time to be very

66
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: transparent with you as listeners about where we are, about

67
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: the state we are in. We kind of prepped in advance,

68
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: as you know, if you listen to the episode chronologically

69
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: and you are up to date, which kudos if you are.

70
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Wow you who are because we have so many episodes

71
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: and we understand you know, we didn't know yesterday the episode. Again,

72
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: if you're following along the timeline chronologically and actually up

73
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: to date with everything or close to it. I was

74
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: concerned what was happening with my family and knowing that

75
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: this is going to be another huge bump in the

76
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: road for my relationship with my family. But I don't

77
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: think it had hit. I don't know if it has

78
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: it in general, the actual results of it all. And again,

79
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it comes as a surprise that for

80
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: me personally, my pessimistic self is having a hard time

81
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: finding the silver lining in this moment. I woke up

82
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: at five thirty am, looked at my phone on Wednesday morning,

83
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 2: and immediately whispered because my partner was asleep in bed,

84
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: and I could not stop saying that, oh my god,

85
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: what the Even though it wasn't surprising, it still was

86
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: real talk Everything seemed so dark. It was dark literally

87
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: realizing not only did he win the electoral votes, but

88
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: he won the popular vote in a landslide, and I

89
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: watched as Congress also fell under the Republican control. And

90
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: this is new. This did not happen last time around,

91
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: So the fact that this is happening makes me nauseous.

92
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Of course, this will be a huge difference. This will

93
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: be a huge difference. The amount of damage that can

94
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: be done in the next four years feels massive and

95
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: feels very like apocalyptic to me. And ironically, again, the

96
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: Happy Hour just released seems almost uh toop optimistic. I

97
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: think in comparison to where we're at, I will say

98
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: that there has been and is this dread that's in

99
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: the pit of my stomach, that's in my heart, that's

100
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: in my throat. It is all but paralyzing. It feels bleak.

101
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: Trying to record this episode is a chore, Let's be

102
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: very honest. I keep asking myself, why do people hate

103
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: themselves so much that they would vote against their own

104
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: interest and of course our interest, like everybody's interest, And honestly,

105
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: this is specifically to my Asian community. It's the only

106
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: fifty four percent voted Democrat while thirty nine percent voted Republican.

107
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: Apparently there is another stat and I cannot find it,

108
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: but people are saying that seventy two percent of the

109
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: Asian women voted for Democrat. So that does make me

110
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: feel a little more hopeful, like at least it's higher,

111
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: but the fact that they're still the marginalized, especially when

112
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: it comes to the fact that she is an Asian woman,

113
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: like we can't even vote for okay, okay, And I

114
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: say maybe me having my own experience growing up in

115
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: a very white family and community, and not only white,

116
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: but very conservative if you know anything about North Georgia,

117
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: if you know anything about going outside of the metro

118
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: area of Atlanta, very conservative. The amount of Trump stuff

119
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: everywhere was incredible and scary for me growing up, I

120
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: felt like I mean I did, I absolutely felt the

121
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: need to acclimate with my then community and the overall

122
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: dislike of my Asian heritage and again wishing to be

123
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: white was really overwhelming growing up, Like I would stare

124
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: at myself in the mirror, begging myself to be whier,

125
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: like I would think about the fantasies. And I loved

126
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: books growing up, and I love fantasy stuff about having

127
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: the wish, having a wish that I could be white

128
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: the guy. I can't explain the amount of self loathing

129
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: I had as an Asian person growing up because I

130
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: felt so out of place and so ostracized that my

131
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: solution was to hate myself and blame my heritage instead

132
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: of seeing the opposite, like that the world around me

133
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: is up and hateful. When I say this, that this

134
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: type of self hatred and anti Asian ideas and to

135
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: my adolescent inks, adding to my adolescent acts, I mean

136
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: it was not a great mixture. And being taught also

137
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: that I must be grateful to those who saved me.

138
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: And I'm putting that in quotes from an assumed bad situation. Again,

139
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: we don't know really had a choke hold on me.

140
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: And so you know, I made a joke about the

141
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: fact that I had voted for Bush when I first

142
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: turned voting age in college because I was that self hating,

143
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: not understanding what this meant to me, and I like,

144
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: it still doesn't feel as bleak doing that. Don't get

145
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: me wrongways bad because what he did was bad, but

146
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 2: still doesn't seem as big as of what's happening today,

147
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: I will say that. And when it comes to and

148
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: again this is going back to the Asian people immigrants

149
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: in general, like the higher high rates of Latina Latino

150
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: voters who went for Trump, who a lot of them are.

151
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: Some of them are saying some repercussions of that already.

152
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: But when it comes to like the American dream and

153
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: then the idea that a person could obtain, it is

154
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: often only if they adhere to the ideas and structures

155
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 2: that the white rich men put into place, and that

156
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: means to idolize and wish to become like them. Like

157
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: that's the American dream that's being sold. So many people

158
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: in my similar circumstances, immigrating with the hopes of a

159
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: quote better life, get sucked into this narrative that all

160
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: the problems of the world are because of other foreigners

161
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: and again putting that in quotes who don't play by

162
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: the rules, they literally create scenario that pissed themselves against

163
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: each other. Again instead of seeing the whole picture that

164
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: oppression is created in order for the powerful to remain powerful.

165
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: They put the they buy into the idea of the

166
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: squid Games. And I'm talking about the K drama. Yeah,

167
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: so I'm making a reference here to K drama. There

168
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: is a prize, but only a few, if not only

169
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: one of the lowly people can get that uh prize.

170
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: So you must fight amongst yourself against your own selves.

171
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: Like that's that's what is being played out in politics,

172
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: and no one wants to talk about it. And yes,

173
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: that was the point of the Squid Games. If people

174
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: were like, oh what I thought it was just a

175
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: fun K drama? No, And and and just to also

176
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: put in that the South Koreans are struggling here that

177
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: the divide between upper middle class versus lower socio economics

178
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: is so huge there is hardly no middle class. And

179
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: that's the point. I'm struggling to see those numbers, especially

180
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: how vastly they differentiated from Biden. And of course this

181
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: is that conversation about Missage Noir that we knew would

182
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: always be a point in this conversation and a big

183
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: stickler to how they would defeat Harris. We know this.

184
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: It didn't even matter what her policies were. It was

185
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: just missage. Noir is gonna win out. The only people

186
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: is speaking of which who seem to best understand this

187
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: and has always understood this from the beginning, have been

188
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: Black women. Black women have known from the beginning, and

189
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: I'm saying this from the beginning, as in Lake trying

190
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: to fight for rights when they were able to speak

191
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: their truth slash the truth that the breaking down of

192
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: a system must mean to break it down completely, not

193
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: just from one issue. He's not just about voting rights

194
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: as they wanted to talk about in the beginning of

195
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: the nineteenth Amendment, but has to include anti lynching laws,

196
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: equal rights for all, rights to not only be able

197
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: to work in the workforce, but being able to protect

198
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: those in the workforce. Well, it's just often endangered and

199
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: forced women of color into these workplaces or limited their

200
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: work options, or even being able to remain at home

201
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: if possible, and also being told they should be at home,

202
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: but also serving others and for minimal paid. Still, they

203
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: knew that oppression for one group or any group, meant

204
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: oppression for everyone. They knew that they know that no

205
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: one is free unless everyone is free. That that's the

206
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: phrase and is simple. The giant they have been that force.

207
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: They have done that work, and they have shown again

208
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: and again they are willing to do it even when

209
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: they're most likely to be the most unappreciated and absolutely

210
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: not given any credit. I think in Georgia alone, you

211
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: can see this. You can see the wavering here. How

212
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: when things have gone right, I guess in that viewpoint

213
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: of liberals in general, they're willing to clap their hands

214
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: and gay way way to go. But when things go wrong,

215
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: they just get lumped into Georgia sucks type of conversation.

216
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: And we'll talk a little bit about that a little

217
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: bit later. But the percentage was fifty point seven percent

218
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: voted for Trump, with the mind that not only was

219
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: there a surge of purging of the voter registration, bomb threats,

220
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: absentee ballots not being sent out correctly, which, by the way,

221
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Cobb County, which was the biggest issue, still was blue,

222
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: not as blue as could be, but still flip blue

223
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: because that's a swing county for us, by the way, y'all,

224
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: And so many other things, the gerrymandering alone, so many

225
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: other issues at hand that they barely barely won. And

226
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: it isn't because the black women stopped working because they

227
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: never stopped. I hate the fact that we were read

228
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: like so badly, like the one small thread of hope.

229
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: It's even if she lost. Please let us be blue,

230
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: Please let us remain blue. I honestly am struggling with

231
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: understanding any of this. I do feel like my family

232
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: voted against me as a person, as a human, and

233
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: I know they have not tried to reach out to

234
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: me by the way, we have not talked. But knowing

235
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: that they care so much more about these quote unquote

236
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: bad guys immigration, which I've yet to see them affected by,

237
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: says in fact, my brother has been taken advantage of

238
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: by three white women, including Besley, hundreds of thousands of

239
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: dollars from him to go and bankrupt. I don't understand

240
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: how he sees immigration as being the issue. Let's be

241
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: very honest. I knew it. I knew that this could happen.

242
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: We knew that things were falling this way. Unfortunately, I

243
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: still had hope. I still hoped, but I didn't want

244
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: to see it. In four k this is not something

245
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: we wanted to see. But here we are. There's so

246
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: much more to do. We know this. I'm a little

247
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: more scared than before because people are dying. We also

248
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: know that people continue to die, people are being deported,

249
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: people are putting put in bad situations. Extremists have come

250
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: out in victory saying that saying the most awful stuff

251
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: that they've been able to hide, or at least they

252
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: thought that would be ridy killed four, but they no

253
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: longer feel that, which is a concern. There's I know

254
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: there's still investigations, and I haven't even talked about the

255
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: failing of this system in general, because it is a failing.

256
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: I haven't talked about who, Like I don't want to

257
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: talk about who's false? Is this? Who did this? Who

258
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: were wrong? People who are angry should be angry. People

259
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: who have fought should be tired and feel disappointed. And

260
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: that's completely reasonable. There's a lot of things happening right now,

261
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: but I think we have to remember we have more

262
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: to do. And I'm saying this we as a collective

263
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: Asian person in my community, I can only speak to that.

264
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: I am disappointed. Like I said, I am very scared,

265
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean we're going to give up. I'm

266
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: not going to give up, although I really want to,

267
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: because you know, I'd like to sleep, you know, these

268
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: special times I sleep, I will say, for ourselves and

269
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 2: for a lot of our people, I think we have

270
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: to give ourselves room to rest and mourn, but also

271
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: to remember that we still have to rally.

272
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and just to everyone out there, I know.

273
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: So it's been so hard, and it feels very like

274
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: when I did my election anxiety episode. I've seen it,

275
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: like my calendar ends on this day, and so now

276
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: it's just like we fight for the next day, the

277
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: next day. But you're not alone because so many of

278
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: you were so kind and you reached out, so thank you,

279
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: thank you for doing that. And I feel it's so

280
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: frustrating because I wanted to like spend the next four

281
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: years fighting for more progress instead of fighting going backwards.

282
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: And it's frustrating too because I've had so many friends

283
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: reach out to me who are scared. I'm scared too,

284
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: but whose jobs are going to be affected by this?

285
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: Impacted by this, because like I have a friend who

286
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: works with a CDC RFKA Junior is gonna be in

287
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: charge of that, so who knows what's gonna happen there.

288
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: And then I have a friend who's a nurse, been

289
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: on the show, and I don't know if this was

290
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: just poor timing or what. But they had to go

291
00:19:52,359 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: through a training on how to tell people are pregnant

292
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: that their babies are dying. Yeah, it's just it's a lot.

293
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: It takes a physical toll. Like I've been very sick.

294
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: I've been physically sick, and that makes it harder to.

295
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: Fight.

296
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, we can't. I don't want to give up.

297
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to let them win. Makes me mad

298
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: just thinking about it. But it does hurt. And I

299
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: kind of a diet of people being like, ow, you're

300
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: being so dramatic. Come well, good for you. You're probably

301
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: better off than me. So if you feel it, if

302
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: you're hurting too, because I have so many people text

303
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: me too and they're like, am I this too much

304
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: of a reaction? Why do I feel this way? And

305
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it hurts. It hurts, and it

306
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: does hurt because a lot of us do have the

307
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: conservative family members and this is a time where the

308
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: holidays are bearing down upon you, and well what do

309
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: I do about this? I'm already like having imaginary fights

310
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: with people because I have a lot of like men

311
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: in my life who are liberal. But then they always

312
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: dismiss me when I'm like, don't you think sexism had

313
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: a role here? And they're like, no, Okay, cool, it's

314
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: not like it's my job. Great, but it does. I

315
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: mean it's I right before this, I was reading an

316
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: article and I briefly mentioned it in the election anxiety episode,

317
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: but it was about like the trauma of the twenty

318
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: sixteen election and like how so many people are still

319
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: dealing with that and how this was compounding upon that.

320
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: But it is worse because the damage he can do

321
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: in this second term is worse. But it was also

322
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to come back and talk about

323
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: this maybe when we're both in a better place. But

324
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: it was also saying like one of the reasons for

325
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: better or worse that Kamala Harris really didn't make a

326
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: big deal about like being perhaps the first woman candidate

327
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: or perhaps the first Asian black the candidate, is because

328
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: there was such a backlash in twenty sixteen to when

329
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton did that, to the point there were articles

330
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: written about like feminists elected Donald tr Yeah, and if

331
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: that is true, if just like the idea of having

332
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: out of forty seven presidents a woman, of just like

333
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: having equal rights and equity and safety, like people just

334
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: want to exist. If that is still enough to call

335
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: such a backlash, then yeah, we have a lot, a lot,

336
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of work to do.

337
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: Right, It's not surprising to see that a lot of

338
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: the reactions for Trump's when are conservatives sending messages to

339
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: black people, to women, to queer people. Haha, you'll never

340
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: be free. I own you, essentially is what the message

341
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: has been, to the point that people are like been

342
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: reporting it to the FBI. But if the Project twenty

343
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: to twenty five, which we haven't talked much about, but

344
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: a part of that Project twenty twenty five is literally

345
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: reversing any of those equities or equal rights conversations. Oddly,

346
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: and I've noticed people telling this recently that Trump specifically

347
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: has been very quiet since is the victory, which is

348
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: not like him. So that scares me more. But the

349
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: first thing he said that he's gonna do is immediately

350
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: undo or any trans rites day one, just horrifying and scary,

351
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: and then immediately go into obviously abortion stuff. And now

352
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: that the Republican Party has taken control with a big

353
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: chunk of very conservative, right winged people at his I

354
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: guess at his side as his accomplices. There's a lot

355
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: we're going to have to look at, and there's a

356
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: lot of we're going to have talk about. I feel

357
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: like the tone of smant He might change a little bit,

358
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: not that it hasn't already. After twenty sixteen, we went

359
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: through we as a show, not necessarily me, but the

360
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: show in general went through massive changes and hosts, like

361
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: back to back to back, like within that same administration.

362
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, another think about it was stressful.

363
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: I cannot believe all of that happened within one administration,

364
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: that there was like for host change, it was yeah,

365
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: oh my goodness. Anyway, sorry y'all because I came in

366
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen that was still under his administration.

367
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: Yep, it feels like.

368
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: Yes. On top of the fact, COVID happened, so a

369
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: lot of things were different obviously, and everybody the show

370
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: was changing in direction. But twenty happened and we established

371
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: We established a good tone for us, I think in

372
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: what we were able to create and how we were

373
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: able to create, on how much demanded of us or

374
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: expected of us. When it came to going from two

375
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: to three days a week to five to six days

376
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: a week and We're still going to try our best

377
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: to give lighthearted inspirational stuff obviously that that's the one

378
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: thing I know for sure is that we're gonna get

379
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: a lot of inspirational names and a lot of people

380
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: who are doing some amazing things that we could support

381
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: and watch. And I'm sure all you listeners will be

382
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: some of those people, and I'm excited to find that out.

383
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 2: But we will also make sure that we are fighting

384
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: to get truth out, which sounds so gross because the

385
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: way that is phrased seems like a right winged mantra. Yeah,

386
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: and I hate that that's what we're doing. But honestly,

387
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: like we we've talked about the importance of like unraveling

388
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: disinformation and misinformation, and that is something that I think

389
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: is something that will have beay on us as podcasters

390
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: that is continuing on. We want to make sure that

391
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: we are voicing that and we are working for that

392
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: because that is our job and that is our privilege.

393
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: So I'm bear with us as we change with the environment,

394
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: I guess the UH and social status of everything, and

395
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: hopefully we can remain I mean, I don't know.

396
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: I do want to say this is like a random

397
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: thought that I had, and I'm not angry at the

398
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: person who said it to me, But this is in

399
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. A friend of mine said to me after

400
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Trump was elected, and he was like, well, you will

401
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: never rune out of time to talk about now, Like, no,

402
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't over run out of dogs without.

403
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: We were never without. Like people ask us constantly, how

404
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: do you think of so many things because we have

405
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: to publish so many episodes and it literally sometimes we

406
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: do have moments, but then there's not any point. Have

407
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: we actually went out of an idea?

408
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: No, And it's not. But the thing is, like there

409
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: were always gooda There's always going to be intersectional feminist

410
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: things to talk about right now. It's just I was

411
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: hoping I'd never have to think about this guy again, right,

412
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: other than like the legacy and what gave him power

413
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: in the first place. Right, But now here we are,

414
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's because I know he's also trying to

415
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: get rid of the So when you're elected, you replace

416
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: the cabinet. Yeah, but there's like thirty five thousand other

417
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: jobs that you don't replace, and that's for stability. He

418
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: wants to get rid of that and replace them with

419
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: people he likes, which means like potentially you couldn't even

420
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: trust the weather like.

421
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: Right, So he's trying too.

422
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: He's definitely tried that, I think, honest.

423
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: Windmill thing because he wants to change the climate change

424
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: climate like he doesn't. He doesn't want to talk about it.

425
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: He wants to say no, no, no, y'all, keep keep getting

426
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: all the coal. We're good.

427
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

428
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: He also has he he's also part of the reason

429
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: why a lot of our standards have changed, and the

430
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: FDA and all of that. Anyway, Yeah, but it's okay.

431
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: We will talk about also how economically we are. Effects

432
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: of a rumor of tariffs have already made impact in

433
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: a lot of companies, which we'll have to come back

434
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: to because again, as we've told before, women hold the

435
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 2: buying power in the household, so we have to have

436
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: that converse of what that looks like. I will say,

437
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna try to end with some positives. Only have

438
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: four things, any I know there's more, y'all, so you can,

439
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: you can, but here's a few. Maryland elected their first

440
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: black woman as the US Senator. Her name is US

441
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: Senator Angela also Brooks. She is an attorney. She has

442
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: done some amazing things in Maryland already, so I'm excited

443
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: to see her. I think she's the fourth black woman

444
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: to be elected into the US Senate. Uh. And I'm

445
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: really sad, but glad she's there. I said that that's

446
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: the number, and I'm glad she's there.

447
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: Though.

448
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: New Jersey elected the first Asian American US Senator, Andy Kim.

449
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: Really excited to see what he can do and hope

450
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: he does us proud. Do be proud, man. Don't maybe

451
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: sit here crying on this corner, okay.

452
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: Uh.

453
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: And Sarah McBride, who has already made history, has also

454
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: made history as the first openly transgender US House of Representative.

455
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: She again made history as a state senator in Delaware,

456
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: but now as a part of the US House of Representatives.

457
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: We are so glad you're there, Sarah. We are rallying

458
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: behind you and excited about the work. And I'm sorry

459
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: about the work you we're about to have to go through.

460
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: And out of other good news, seven out of ten

461
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: states who had reproductive rights on their ballots one protection

462
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: for those rights. I love that. I love that the

463
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,280
