WEBVTT - Voting For Our Future

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to will Kate f Daily

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>with Meet your Girl Daniel Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we've made it to the end of yet another week,

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and bravo. Pat ourselves on the back, give yourself a hug,

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's a struggle. I mean, let's just be honest.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>There's an article that was in Politico this week referencing

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the fact that diplomats around the world are really concerned

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and lamenting partisan divides in the United States that are

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>essentially making the world unsafe, right and destabilizing. And so,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I read this article and I thought to

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>myself as I'm reading it, the fact is that while,

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, diplomats, what was interesting about this

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is that diplomats don't usually wade into partisan politics or

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>politics really at all. You know, like they are in

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, diplomats and ambassadors and they you know, represent

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>their countries and you know, in foreign places to show

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>alliance and allegiance and all of these things. And these

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>folks who spoke to Politico did so under you know, anonymity,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>so that you know, they won't lose their jobs or

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>spark you know, more outrage, but the collective feeling was

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the same that the United States and the far right

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Republican Maga supremacists are making the world and

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the country more and more unsafe, and that their actions

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>are being celebrated by a thoranitarians like Putin, like Netan, Yahoo,

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>like Urbon, and others around the world who will be

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>served by a weekend the United States. And you know,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not too young to remember a time when while

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>we had our differences, the political parties had our differences

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>at home, that there was always a united front in

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>terms of how we handled our allies and adversaries abroad.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump entirely changed that dynamic. He changed that dynamic

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>for the worst when he just up and tore up

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the Iran deal that Barack Obama had put together in

0:02:55.200 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>order to finally bring in aid, you know, relieve sanctions

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that went so far as not to provide the people

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of Iran with medical supplies, with medicines and the like.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>And so when he did that, it was a signal

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to the world, along with you know, walking away from

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the Paris Climate Agreement and other things, that the United

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>States can no longer be trusted. Right, that literally how

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the United States is going to engage with the world

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>will always depend on who is in office, and so

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>every four years, the global you know world has to

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>what like, hedge their bets. And what they were saying

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in this article is that there is absolutely no ability

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to be able to create then long term deals, knowing

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>that depending on the move or who the president is

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that comes in, that deal can be ripped up. So basically,

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the United States and our partisan issues which are not

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>even partisan issues, we have went from a two party

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>system to a one party system where the other party

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>are domestic terrorists, right, who don't believe in the constitution,

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>who don't believe in the rule of law, who don't

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>believe in precedent, and because of their desire to turn

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 1>the United States into a white, evangelical, you know, Christian,

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>white nationalist nation, the reverberations that are happening around the

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>world are going to be catastrophic because whether or not

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we like it, and whether or not we believe that

0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>it should be. So, the United States has been the

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>strongest poll to bring other people into the tent of democracy. Now,

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, I'm very challenged in saying that because the

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>more that you learn about our foreign policy, the more

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you learn about what the United States has done, the

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people that

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>have been killed, the regimes that the United States has

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>decided to either decimate or upholl depending on how much

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>they can extract from whether it is Latin America or

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the continent of Africa. All of those things can be

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>true at the same time. Right that the United States

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>has the best pr as it pertains to democracy. Many

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of the diplomats and ambassadors were educated in our universities,

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and so they understand inside and out who this country

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is and who it has aspired to be with each

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 1>given generation. And what they are seeing right now with

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Maga supremists, the fact that you can barely get this

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Congress to elect a fucking speaker, let alone like past policy,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to provide aid to let say Ukraine, and to do

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the bare minimum of passing a budget so that the

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>government doesn't shut down. So when you take all of

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>these things into consideration and we have an election that

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is coming up in ten months, you know, I continue

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to say, like, it don't look good, right, Like it

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look good. It doesn't look good for us here right,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>who are going to live with the fallout, But then

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>also understanding that we're not the only ones that are

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be living with the fallout, that the world

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 1>is going to reorder, and America is not going to

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>be on the side that it has been on, which

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>has been the side of promoting and establishing democracy around

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the world. So then what happens, Well, what these diplomats

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>were saying is what is going to happen is what

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they are seeing happen, which is that these alternatives pop up,

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>these alternative allegiances, right, these alternative ties, and that what

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to end up happening is that the relationship

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that other nations have to the United States will no

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>longer be one of a strong allyship. It will just

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>be transactional. So, folks, the consequences of this upcoming election

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>aren't just about our lives. It's about global safety and stability,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>which is all at stake and all on the ballot.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I keep saying to myself, like, why am I so tired?

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Why am I, you know, so stressed? You know, it's

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>just roughly, you know what, two weeks into this new year,

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and I am struggling to get out of bed, like

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not hitting you. I'm struggling to get out of bed,

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm struggling to sleep, and I'm saying to my friends

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and family, like I don't know how I'm going to

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>get through the next ten months, right like, and I'm

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about myself, but like when I say, like, I

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how we are going to get through the

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>next ten months because so much is at stake, and

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like one of those things you know

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>when you have like your to do list and you

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>have so much to do and you're so overwhelmed by

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>all of the things that you have to do, so

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you end up doing nothing. That's how I feel where

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the United States has so much to do.

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>The people of this country. There is so much waking

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>up to do. There is so much like energy that

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>needs to be put in to getting people to recognize

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that we're not voting for Joe Biden. Like, let's just

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>set that aside. We're not voting for Joe Biden. I'm

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>not going to be telling you for the next ten

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>months that Joe Biden is my guy and that like

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you you know, we got to go all in for

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>him because he's great and like and all of these things. No,

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be doing that because it's not

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:39.719
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. I feel like the choice we have

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>very stark decisions with really poor choices to make those decisions.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>But the fact is is that if your issue is

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>what is happening in Gaza right now with a genocide

0:09:55.040 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and murder spree that is taking place being funded by

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>our government, if you think that that gets better or

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>changes if Donald Trump becomes president of the United States,

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and because you're saying, well, I'm just gonna opt out,

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>if you give a fuck, then we need to actually

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>work with what we have right and the current set

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of rights that we still have WOHILD is to protest

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>and pressure the current administration that actually gives a shit

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>about what the people think and what the people say

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and do. You have to work with what you have

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>where you have it. And so if your issue is well,

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is a warmongerer and genocide Joe, I will

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>tell you that if you think for a fucking minute

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that anything will get better in that country if Donald

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump becomes president again, and you are fucking kidding yourself,

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and you're also setting up those people for their end

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>right which they're already being pushed towards. If they are

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>going to have a chance, it is going to be

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Biden to recognize that he is losing the

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>electorate because of his allegiance to Netanyahu, who by the way,

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't fucking like him and does not want him to win.

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>He wants Trump to win. So that should be all

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you need to know about that. If climate change is

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>your issue, and you think for any small measure that

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a climate denier going into the White House at a

0:11:55.600 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>critical time in the world where we are in every

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>season every year witnessing the hottest summers, the coldest winters,

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>polar var Texas, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, fire, seasons that are

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>all quote unquote historic and the worst we've ever seen

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>every year. Donald Trump is not gonna solve that. Maga's

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>supremacts are not gonna solve that. Right, They're not gonna

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>help you with your utility bills or the ability to

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>rebuild your home. Okay, So if that's your issue, sitting

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>this one out, ain't it. If your issue is abortion

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's the thing that is driving you to the polls,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.559
<v Speaker 1>and you just see that the Supreme Court just upheld

0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the strictest abortion measures in Idaho, which states

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that even in the case of an emergency, when the

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>life of the pregnant person and woman is at stake,

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>no abortion for you. You can die along with that fetus.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>They upheld it in Texas, they upheld it in Idaho.

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump becomes president, which, by the way, he is

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>going on the campaign trail saying I'm the one that

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>got you abortion. And that's all fucking white evangelical Christians

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck about. Oh, that and white supremacy. So

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>if that's your issue, you want what is happening in

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Idaho and in Texas and in all of these other

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>red states and Midwestern states. You want that shit nationalized,

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>because that is also what is gonna happen. You know,

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>people tell me, Danielle, you need to just stop spreading fear,

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and like, you know, oh, I'm not gonna listen, and

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah, I don't give a fuck about you.

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Just don't come crying to me. Well, you won't be

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>able to because you'll be in a fucking camp. Okay,

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you'll be jobless and homeless on the street, and guess what,

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>there'll be no safety nets. And why do I say

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>jobless and homeless, Because when these white supremaists get in,

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they've already overturned affirmative action. When you're racist, white bosses

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 1>decide that they want to fire you or not hire you,

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 1>or pay you less, you have no recourse to go

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to the courts because they can do whatever the fuck

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they want. Right. So, when you realize that you're nothing

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 1>more than an indentured servant, right with no one who

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>gives a fuck about how you're able to put food

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>on your table or if you're able to do so,

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and then you take whatever job that you can get

0:14:53.800 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>which will exploit you and then throw you away. So, folks,

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>there isn't a choice in this upcoming election. I'm not

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>voting for Joe Biden. I'm voting for myself. I'm voting

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>for my family. I'm voting for my friends. I'm voting

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>for all of you to be able to have self determination,

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to still have some rights, and to still muster the

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>energy in order to fight back against people who want

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to reinstate Jim Crow and an apartheid worse than anything

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that we saw in the twentieth century. Folks, wake up,

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>rite and shake the shit out of the people around you.

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just as angry, frustrated, depleted as everybody else is.

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And you hear me on this show, go for my

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>ups and my downs and my ups and my downs,

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and were going to be on this ride together until November.

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>But there is one thing that I will tell you

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for certain is that I will absolutely fucking vote, and

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I will vote for my fucking life. I'm not votevoting

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>for a person. So what kind of life do you want?

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Right with the limited amount of time that we're all

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>given on this earth? What kind of life do you want?

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what you're voting for. Do you want to life

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>filled with some choices or none at all? Because that's

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>where we are. You know, my friend Rashad Robinson, who

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 1>is the president and CEO of Color of Change, the

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>largest online civil rights organization, he said this, He goes

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>some elections are about pushing forward for progress. Other elections

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>are just about holding the fuck on. That's what this

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 1>election is buying us some time for these lawsuits to

0:16:54.720 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>play out, for us to overturn MAGA supremacy, for us

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to be able to have a Department of Justice that

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>can do its job and go after those that continue

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>to want to thwart not only our democracy but the

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>rule of law. We need more fucking time. So for

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody around you, whether it is your your kids, your nieces,

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 1>your nephews, your students, right your community members that are

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>throwing up their hands in the air, tell them that

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they are not voting for Joe Biden. Nobody's asking them

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to wear a fucking T shirt or pin okay and

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 1>rah rah rah at every rally like he's the second Coming.

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>He is not. But I know what he is not,

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>which is the devil reincarnate. I know what he is not,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 1>which is a man that believes that people, right, all

0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>people in this country should have access to the American dream,

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever that looks like for them. I know that he's

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 1>not a white supremacist. I know that he's not a misogynist,

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and I know that he's not a rapist. And I

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 1>know that that makes the bar really fucking low. But

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that's where we are. We're in the gutter, and so

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to crawl our ways back up top. We got to

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>figure this shit out, and it is not going to

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 1>be pretty and we're not going to feel good about it.

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Not every decision that we have to make do we

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>have to feel good about And I say this to

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you because you guys get it, but I want you

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to tell the people that are around you who don't,

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>using whatever platform you have, whatever voice, you have, to

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>let people fucking know everything is at stake in this election,

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>not just for us, but for everyone around the world.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>In order for there to be global stability, we need

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a strong United States. That is just the facts, right

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the fuck now. So I'm not willing. There are days,

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>trust me, and I had some of them this week

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>where I said, fuck it, let this place go up

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>in flames. But the reality is that there is nowhere

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.120
<v Speaker 1>else to go because everywhere you go there we are.

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>So if we want a future that has some type

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of hope for your children, for your grandchildren, for those

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>children in Gaza, then my god, there isn't a choice

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to be made. We're not voting for a person, We're

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>voting against fashion. And this election is going to be

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the most uncomfortable one that we've had because we don't

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>get to feel good about it. Not every decision that

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>we make do we get to feel good about. Some

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>decisions just have to be fucking made. This is one

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of them that is it for me today? Dear friends

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 1>on Woke a f as always, power to the people

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>woke as fuck.
