1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peepsen, and welcome to ok F Daily with 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. 3 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: As I stated on Friday, I am really not interested 4 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: in the blow by blow of the Trump administration. As 5 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: I find information to be important pertinent to your day 6 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: to day lives, to our day to day lives, I 7 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: will offer it up. I think what this moment is 8 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: calling for is not the anxiety and dread that come 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: with each ding through your phones or computers that tell 10 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: you what awful thing has happened, or what stupid thing 11 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: was said, or what fucking dumb op ed Vivek Ramaswami 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and Elon muss keV authored that will tell the rest 13 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: of America, while they are multimillionaires and billionaires, that we 14 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: need austerity that will just plummet this country into poverty 15 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: and certain misfortune. But they will be fine. They will 16 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: be laughing all the way to the bank, because not 17 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: only are they multimillionaires and billionaires, but now they're going 18 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: to be receiving a government check on top of the 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: amount of handouts that they get from a break in 20 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: their taxes. That being said, I think that there is 21 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: a larger question for all of us to be asking 22 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: right now, which is what is to become of the 23 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. And I asked that question coming off of 24 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: a Friday show that I did with my co host 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Jajahat Ali on Democracy Ish, where we ask the question 26 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: is it finally time for new leadership? And the answer 27 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: is a resounding yes. And I say that because I 28 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: am pretty much at my wits end with this political party. 29 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: And I am a person that has been a staunch 30 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: Democrat my entire life. I have worked on Capitol Hill, 31 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: i have worked at think tanks, I've worked in schools, 32 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I have utilized multiple media platforms, and you know, done 33 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 1: the most to try and be a voice in some way, 34 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: shape or form inside of this party. And it isn't 35 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: just the results of this election that have me questioning things, because, 36 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: as I've stated before, VP Kamala Harris and Tim Walls 37 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: ran one of the best campaigns I've ever seen. And sure, 38 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: in hindsight there are things that could have been done, 39 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: but largely in three months, they put together the best 40 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: campaign that we had arguably seen since Obama. Fresh voices, 41 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: fresh perspective, great social media presence, a willingness to really 42 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: connect with new media with young people. They were about business. 43 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: And what makes me angry is that Kamala Harris shouldn't 44 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: have had only three months to be quote unquote introduced 45 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: to the American people. That who I have a lot 46 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: of ire for right now is Joe Biden and establishment 47 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Democrats that have had what I continue to refer to 48 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: as a failure of imagination around where the Republican Party 49 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: was trying to drag this country and coming up with 50 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: innovative ideas and ways to not only one alert the 51 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: American people of the ropodope that Republicans were trying to 52 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: pull on them, but also also put forward real clear 53 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: old revision that was about not restoring, as Wajahat said 54 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: on democracy is not restoring America, but reforming our American 55 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: government and system and culture. Because, as he said, restoration 56 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: is fundamentally believing that what you have is worth preserving. Right. 57 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: When you think about restoration for a home, you want 58 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: to strip it down and get it back to where 59 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: it shined right and then begin the restoration progress. Sometimes 60 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: there are homes that actually aren't worth saving that you 61 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: really just look at the land that it's on and 62 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: you say, well, the land is great, but we need 63 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: a new foundation, we need new building, structure, and we 64 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: need something else. That's where the Democratic Party is. I 65 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: am I'm so fucking sick and tired of listening and 66 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: hearing Chuck Schumer as a New Yorker. I have had 67 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer in my life since I was fucking born, 68 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: and Folks, I am not young. I have had Nancy 69 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi in my life since I was born. It is 70 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: time that these people hang up the fucking cloaks right, 71 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: put down the fucking gavels, and move on with their lives. 72 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: They have seen America through a lens that no longer exists, 73 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and all they are doing now is more harm than good. 74 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: Last week I lifted up the voices of Alexandrio, Cassio Cortez, 75 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett, and Summerly, three of the most thoughtful, outspoken, 76 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: brilliant women of color inside of the day Democratic Party. 77 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: And these are the women that I want to hear from. 78 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: These are the women that are actually prepared for this moment. 79 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: They are prepared because they know exactly who they're dealing with, 80 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: and they're not afraid to call out these people for 81 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: who and what they are. You had Representative Jasmine Crockett 82 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: sitting in committee where white Republican men are introducing legislation 83 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: that would dismantle DEI because in their revisionist history that 84 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: they are trying to implement as policy and law is 85 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: that it is the white man that is oppressed in 86 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: this country, which is the biggest load of bullshit that 87 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: I've ever heard. And she read them for filth because 88 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the audacity is at an all time fucking high. You 89 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: had Representative Summerly do exactly the same in talking about 90 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: how you have white Republicans men that want to talk 91 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: about the qualifications of Justice Katanji Brown Jackson and Vice 92 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris, two of the most esteemed and distute 93 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: black women in leadership positions in this country, as not 94 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: being qualified. But you want to turn around and tell 95 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: us that a host of Fox News show can be 96 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense, right, that somebody that worked as 97 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: an executive at the WWE is now equipped to run 98 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: the Department of Education. Give me a fucking break. And 99 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: so while we have these old time old guards of 100 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that still believe that there is a 101 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: Republican Party to reach across the Aisle two. These women 102 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: actually understand that that party is fucking dead, and so 103 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: what do we do? How do we rally the people 104 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: that stayed home in this last election because you didn't 105 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: speak to them. It is far time for the white 106 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: old guard who have no progressive ideas, who don't understand 107 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: that power has restructured itself right. America is now a 108 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: part of the axis of evil, and more young people 109 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: are recognizing that truth that took me some decades to 110 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: actually get to because I wanted to believe that there 111 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: was more that was good about America than that was wrong. 112 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: But when you were telling people that it is absolutely 113 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: acceptable to decimate an entire population and conduct a genocide 114 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: with our tax dollars, and that going forward and allowing 115 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: the international courts to do their job is somehow devoid 116 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: of legal precedent, you show not only your age but 117 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: your ass And you know, folks, I just am tired. 118 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm tired of the fifteen Democrats that saw fit to 119 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: vote alongside this rabid Republican party with Hr. Nine four 120 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: nine five that now will give the President of the 121 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: United States full and complete power to delegitimize nonprofit organizations 122 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: and label them as terrorist organizations and do with them 123 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: as they see fit. Fifteen Democrats voted alongside Republicans to 124 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: do this because for whatever reason, they think that it's 125 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: just about Gaza and it's not going to be about 126 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: everything and anything else. It's not. We know what the desire, 127 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: what the goal is, and so it's time for us 128 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: to have an actual party with leadership that sees the 129 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: writing on the wall, that isn't willing to just capitulate 130 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: to the report publican party and not fight for anything 131 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: and think that you're going to find common ground with 132 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: people that literally want you dead. They have said so, 133 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,359 Speaker 1: they have put you up in crosshairs on their websites, 134 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: They have called for armed militias to be formed against you. 135 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: They refer to you as the enemy of the state. 136 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: So when do you think that Democrats will gather themselves 137 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: and recognize that these people that they refer to as 138 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: their colleagues from across the aisle are not their colleague, 139 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: are their combatants, are actually their enemies. And why are 140 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: there their enemies Because their enemies of democracy and of 141 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the constitution and of the rule of law. So maybe 142 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: if instead of Joe Biden inviting Donald Trump a man 143 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: who has disparaged him, his family, his son for the 144 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: last ten years into the White House and embraced him 145 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: with open arms. Maybe Joe Biden could have used that 146 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: time and that oppertun tunity to actually lay out to 147 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: the American people what is at stake for them moving forward, 148 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: But no, he didn't do that. And so as we 149 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: move through the next two months until the Trump regime 150 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: takes full force, it is time for us to do 151 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: a lot of soul searching and ask ourselves when is 152 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: going to be the right time for us to tear 153 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: this shit down? Because I gotta be honest with you, 154 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, I wanted so deeply for Vice President Kamala 155 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Harris to win. I wanted our future to seem bright 156 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: and joyful and possible again. But I realized that clearly 157 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: most people need to learn things the hard way. And 158 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: while I would prefer not to be a part of 159 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: the find out phase of the fuck around, that is 160 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: evidently not going to be avoidable. And so what do 161 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: we do? How do we gather ourselves in this moment 162 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: of deep grief and pain and frustration and anger to 163 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: be able to imagine a future that does not actually 164 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: include the shumers and the pelosis of the world that 165 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: calls for them to step aside, that decides that we 166 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: are no longer going to acknowledge that you have any 167 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: finger on the pulse at all of what is going on, 168 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: because they don't. You can't tell me right that they 169 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: have a progressive bone in their body, that they have 170 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: any fight left in them. Because we are not just 171 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: here in this current place because Republicans are terrible. We're 172 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: here because Democrats are ineffective. We're here because of flaccid 173 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: leadership at the top. Joe Biden could very well have 174 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: appointed an Attorney General of the United States that actually 175 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: gave a shit about our constitution and got rid of 176 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for US back in twenty twenty one following 177 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: an insurrection and put his foot to the metal and 178 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: did what needed to be done so that motherfucker was 179 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: never going to be able to run again. And not 180 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: only that, but open up investigations to everyone that aided 181 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: and abedded an insurrection and the overthrowing of our government. 182 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: You know the way that Brazil is doing right now 183 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: with their ex president Javier Bosonado, who, alongside thirty six 184 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: members of his party, are now facing jail time because 185 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: they tried to overthrow the government. Or what about Marie 186 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: Le penn Over in France, who is staring down a 187 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: possible five year prison sentence for embezzlement for her grift, 188 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: Or what about Salvina Over in Italy who is also 189 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: facing jail time for his cruelty and his treatment of 190 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: immigrants in Italy. You see, it is clear that other 191 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: countries that have had a history of dealing with right 192 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: wing autocrats have decided not to weaponize their government, but 193 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: to actually utilize their government in order to secure their 194 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: democracies moving forward and restore faith that may have been 195 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: lost over the last several years. America, however, decided to 196 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: reinstate the fucking criminal to be president of the United 197 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: States because we had an ineffectual attorney general and an 198 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: even more flaccid president of the United States. Now, I 199 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: will tell you Joe Biden restored our economy. He got 200 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: vaccines out and running. That being said, Joe Biden did 201 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: not actually face and stare down the biggest threat to 202 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: our survival as a country. He wanted to instead turn 203 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the page on it instead of reading the fucking book. 204 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: So we find ourselves here because the Biden administration and 205 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: to make history by nominating, right by running with the 206 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: first black and Asian woman to be Vice President of 207 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: the United States, but then go ahead and hide her 208 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: from the American people so that they wouldn't actually know 209 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: that the vice President of the United States was a 210 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: black and Asian woman a heartbeat away from the Oval Office. 211 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: So if anybody wants to talk about missteps, it's this 212 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: idea that you can keep painting a rotting house and 213 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: think that the paint alone is going to make it livable. 214 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm in a mode and in a place where it 215 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: is time to tear it down. And there will be 216 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: lots of pain, and there will be hardship, and as 217 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: I continue to say, all of us are not going 218 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: to make it to the New world. But it's actually 219 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: time that we start dismantling the old. And frankly, at 220 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: this point, if that looks like Donald Trump blowing up 221 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: our government from the inside out, well then I guess 222 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: it will give us a blank pain to work from, 223 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: if in fact he doesn't kill us all before then. 224 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: But when you look at our Department of Education, when 225 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: you look at how the EPA has been gutted year 226 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: after year after year, and done so with Democrats as well. 227 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: And you wonder why we're jumping up and down right 228 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: now in New York because we've had two days of rain, 229 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: because we just went through thirty one days of a drought, 230 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: or that it was just noted most recently that one 231 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven thousand children in New York are homeless. Like, 232 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: we can actually do better, but it doesn't continually look 233 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: like bullshit fucking band aids on top of a dying patient. 234 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: So while I don't want to suffer, and I don't 235 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: want those that I love to suffer, America chose suffering. 236 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: So we're going to have to find the opportunities inside 237 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: of the obstacles because this administration is coming in to 238 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: bulldoze this country. I've said for far too long, we 239 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: have tried to make habitable a cemetery instead of excavating. 240 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: We have so much work to do, and it can't 241 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: be done with old tools nor old people. And I'm 242 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: not being ages. I mean old people in terms of 243 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: old thinking, because that is what these folks are offering. 244 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: If you are eighty something years old, but your ideas 245 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: are fresh and they are bold, then great. But I 246 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: can't have people that are operating inside of a twentieth 247 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: century issue. They're looking at twenty first century problems with 248 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: twentieth century mindset. It's time for a new chapter, a 249 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: new book, a new library. It's time for something new, 250 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: and that's where I'd rather spend my time than following 251 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: the blow by blows of the next Trump regime. I 252 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: know that we need to be aware to protect ourselves, 253 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: but if we honestly want to see some type of future, 254 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: that we got to start looking introspectively now and doing 255 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: the hard work. That is it for me today, Dear 256 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: friends on wokef as always, power to the people and 257 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke 258 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: as fuck.
