WEBVTT - Storm of Karma

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, keeps, and welcome to wikate f Daily with

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>me your girl Daniel Moody recording from my home bunker.

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>So the folks, let me start off with this. Kevin McCarthy,

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the Fisher Price Speaker of the House, who's really a

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>puppet from Marjorie Taylor Green and the far right have

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>decided to open up an inquiry, impeachment inquiry into President

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Biden over nothing. And I am just here's my thinking

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>on this, because I'm not going to waste a lot

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>of time or energy, nor should you, because the reality

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>here is that the Republican Party has nothing. They offer nothing,

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Even their own Republican members who are in districts that

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Biden won, even some of the most egregious members have

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>come out and said, you know, there is nothing right, Like,

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>if there was something and we needed to investigate it,

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>then we should have the ability to do so. But

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>right now there's nothing there, which is why McCarthy can't

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.559
<v Speaker 1>call a vote right on opening up the in Korean

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>as just instead directing these committees to waste taxpayer dollars

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in time and money to do it because he doesn't

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have the fucking votes. And you know what is really frustrating.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Here is the optics, the optics that Democrats don't necessarily understand,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>which is that a majority of Americans right now, with

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>a recent poll that came out, believe that the indictments

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>against Donald Trump are solely political nature, right And why

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>is that? Because it's important for us to understand and

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>not just shrug off the fact that a majority of

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Americans across party lines believe that these indictmencies for indictments,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>these ninety one charges in counting against Donald Trump, are

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>politically motivated. And that is because seven to eight years ago,

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 1>when Donald Trump entered the political sphere and began peppering

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>our society with lies, began questioning agencies, began questioning the

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>integrity of our systems, of our governmental systems, which is

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what sets us apart from the rest of the world.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>He began his putin Esque campaign to delegitimize our agencies

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and weaponize them. And instead of corporatized media calling out

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>what was happening and making it plainly clear to the

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>American people that Donald Trump is an enemy of speech,

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he's an enemy of truth, he's an enemy of facts,

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and it is up to Americans to remain vigilant and

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.119
<v Speaker 1>instead of Democrats every time that they were in front

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of a microphone or had an opportunity to use their

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>platforms in a coordinated strategic effort to continue to inform

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the American public, knowing that from twenty sixteen on we

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>have had a massive disinformation campaign done at the hands

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of the Russians at the behest of Donald Trump, Russia.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you listening right? So here we are now where

0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you have Kevin McCarthy at the behest of the fucking

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>kook Marjorie Taylor Green saying we need to open up

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>an inquiry and we need to stop spending. Mind you,

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>these are the same people who voted to increase the

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>debt by seven trillion dollars. You know how you know

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>that that's true as well, because the idiot Nikki Haley,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>when they were on their bullshit Republican debate stage, said right,

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the debt is not owned by just one party. She's

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>like people on this stage voted right, voted for the

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>tax you know, scam for the rich that inflated our

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>debt by seven trillion dollars in four years. And she

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>was booed for that. Why because she told the truth

0:04:53.839 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and So you know, here's the thing. The optics are unfortunate.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 1>The only things that matter when you allowed for reality

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>TV politics to enter the fucking chat right, and because

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats don't have a counter message for that, they

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>want to continue with business as usual. It is going

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to absolutely seem as if this is just tit for tat,

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>when in fact it is tit for tat, but at

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the hands of the Republican Party that is going to

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>weaponize government at every single turn as a way to

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>pay back their political opponents for doing what is stated

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>inside of the Constitution, which is to go after insurrectionists

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and those who would seek to bring down democracy, which

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>is the entirety of the Republican Party. Now, what I

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>also find interesting is that there are people who are

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>shaking their head at the release of the Fulton County

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Grand Jury's full list of people that they recommended for indictments,

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>with three sitting senators appearing on that list, who Fannie

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Willis decided not to indict. Now, I don't know why

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Fannie Willis decided not to indict Lindsay Graham, because let

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>us be clear that Lindsay Graham is a Senator from

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina, Lindsey Graham had no business calling any fucking

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:40.840
<v Speaker 1>body in Georgia when the Georgian right senators didn't seek

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>to call Rathensburger the Secretary of State to say what's

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>happening down there with the election. Similarly, Michael Steele recently

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 1>said on MSNBC, and I have to agree he goes,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>did anybody ask Lindsay if when he was senator in

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and it was Bush v. Gore, did he

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>decide to make a phone call down to Florida to

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.919
<v Speaker 1>see what was quote unquote going on. No, we did not,

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, it wasn't in his fucking purview, right,

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't his responsibility as a random ass senator from

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a state that was not in question. And so when

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at what is transpiring in this country, Putin

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>is sitting back, applauding and patting himself on the back

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>for doing what many thought can never happen, right, which

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was to crack open America's democracy using one of the

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>two political parties as your trojan horse. I mean, it's

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>really wild when you think about it, right, you think

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>about the things that the Republicans are saying, and the

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>projection that they are putting out there and recognizing that,

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, media again once again did not think to themselves, huh, Well,

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>if these one hundred and forty something House Republicans are

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>voting against the certification of the election because they say

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that the election was fraudulent and yet they were on

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.679
<v Speaker 1>the same ballot and won their seats on the same ticket,

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>why is it that just the one line of the

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>ballot for the presidential are you seemingly saying was fraudulent?

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear one reporter ask that question to any

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of the one hundred and forty some odd Republicans that

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>voted against certifying the election. No, that's just, you know,

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a regular ask question. So, were you saying that your

0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 1>election results were also illegitimate or it's only illegitimate if

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you had lost, but because you won but Donald Trump

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>lost but on the same ballot for people, how does

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that work? Exactly? Could you explain? And just wait? But

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>this is not the kind of questions that journalists s

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, because I guess you would seem what

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>what's the word too intelligent? Too informed? Lord only knows.

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I will say with regard to this inquiry.

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to go anywhere. It's going to be

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a waste of money. It is going to be Benghazi

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>on steroids, which also turned up with nothing. And mind

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you that Republicans are using the same tools that the

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>January sixth Committee used where they had thousands of documentation

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>people on the you know, testifying before the committee and

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>then their recommendations that they sent to the Department of Justice.

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that this inquiry is going to go

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>anywhere to that extent, No, because there's no no, nothing,

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>There's no there there. But that's not the point. The

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>point is to continue to have this both sides ruffling

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and have Biden's name alongside impeachment inquiry in the press.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 1>And you know what the press is gonna do. Fucking

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>fall through that and they're gonna follow right those little

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Hansel and Gretel fucking breadcrumbs that are laid out by

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party all the way over a fucking cliff,

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, because that's what they do, folks. As the

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>news is opening up this week, and I also want

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to turn attention to the devastating earthquake that took place

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>in Morocco and then the devastating floods that have killed

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>thousands of people in Libya. We are in the climate crisis, right.

0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>There is no denying that if you and fact have

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>active brain cells. I know that the Republicans don't, so

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about them, but I'm talking about everyone else.

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>What we are going to see increasingly in what we

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>are seeing is devastation that is going to cost thousands,

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>tens of probably thousands, millions of people's lives in areas

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that do not have the infrastructure and do not have

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the system in place like a FEMA to offer critical

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>resources and staff emergency aid on the ground. And what

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is so horrible, right, is that all America media ever does,

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>all this show is devastation and rubble and death in

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>these areas of the world. And it has really stained

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>our mentality that these people are people, right, with full

0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>lives and families and careers and aspirations and dreams, and

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>all we do is feed into exactly what like the

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Indiana Jones series showed us about this region of the world, right,

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>so that we can sit up on our high horse

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and think that, oh, but we're the developed world, right,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and these kind of things always happen to these people

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>over there, and so you don't get to you don't

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>have to waste your empathy, waste your time. That's how

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>American media corportize. Media shows these devastated areas. But when

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.599
<v Speaker 1>it happens to white people in Europe, my god, we

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.319
<v Speaker 1>got to stop everything, stop the presses, wall to wall coverage.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's just once again going to show you that

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>those that are responsible for the climate crisis that we

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>are in are not going to be the ones that

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>pay for it with their lives. And you know, it's

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>these types of things that happen that make me just

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>really wonder, you know, really wonder whenever the tables are

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>going to turn, you know, when there is going to

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>be any type of justice for the damage that America

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>has done to the rest of the world. And maybe

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that is what we are experiencing right now. Because I

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>tell you all, I'll be really honest with you, I've

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>been reading a lot of all different types of psychology

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>books and you know, religious books, and just trying to

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>truly make sense and sharpen my analysis right of this

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 1>time because in some ways, because I am an American

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and because I still have this I guess it would

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>be indoctrinated belief that America can move past really hard moments.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>And I want to be a part of helping people

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>make sense of and activating their power in this moment.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>And then a part of me, another part of me,

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is just like, this is what we fucking get. Maybe

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>this shit is just karma, right, That the Empire of

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>America that enslaved millions of Africans, that built this empire

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>on blood soaked soil, that murdered indigenous people, that ripped

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>babies out of wounds, that literally tore off people's scalps, right,

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and you white people use them as trophies. Right, remove

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>teeth from a enslaved people's mouths, let George Washington and

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>put them in their own and make pute stories about it.

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 1>That played god around the world, moving presidents in and

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>out and funneling arms to who was going to best

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>serve your own personal interests and not the interests of

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the countries that you were invading. That maybe where we

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>are right now is karma. But I'm like, does it

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have to rain down on all of us? But I

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>guess that that's how the shit works because we've all

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess, you know, maybe knowingly or unknowingly been complicit

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>right every time that we pledged allegiance to this country.

0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, it is our tax dollars that goes to bomb,

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>destroy name and ruin other countries lies, all in the

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>name of what our liberty. So I'm very conflicted, you

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>know I have been. I have been very conflicted in

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>this moment. So if you find yourself in that place too,

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of the burn this shit to the ground and know

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we have to fight and you are at war with

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself over it, know that you're not alone, because it

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is It is something that I really contemplate every single

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>day in great detail and have conversations with friends and

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and colleagues that are in this space. I

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>am getting ready to travel in the next two months.

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to leave the country for the first time,

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, this year, I guess it's the yeah, at

<v Speaker 1>to head two Europe. Very exciting because I'm taking I

<v Speaker 1>like travel vlog, because I'm going to be really interested

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>to see what kind of questions I get asked. I

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>always get asked, you know, And for people who travel

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>abroad a lot. The last time, you know, I remember

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and not just you know, not just like a beach

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 1>vacation or Caribbean vacation or anything like that, that I

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>was in Europe. It was, you know, Trump coming into

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>office and I was in Portugal and the Portuguese were like, so,

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck is up with America? Like what you

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>guys really voted for that guy? Like he doesn't believe

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.479
<v Speaker 1>in climate change and like I can literally show you

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.959
<v Speaker 1>what is happening in our country, Like how does that

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>even work? And it was the first time traveling that

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I was embarrassed to be an American. It was really like,

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I was truly embarrassed. And so now it's been several years, right,

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>we went through an entire Trump administration, COVID and all

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>of these things. So I'll be interested to see what

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of welcome, if any, that I receive, because it's

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 1>always you know, I will say this, traveling while black

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>has its own real issues, and then also being an

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>American is pretty you know, it's interesting. It's interesting, I

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>will I will say that, but let me know in

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the comments below this video from my patrons if you

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>would be interested in some type of travel vlog while

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gone, because I am thinking about, you know, just

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>daily kind of check ins, what I'm experiencing, what I'm seeing.

0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm most excited about, yeah, is to decide

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to take an adventure. Because here's the thing, folks. Life

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>is not waiting for us, right, It's not waiting for

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>perfect moments. It's not it's continuing on. And you know,

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>this country, whether this is its last gasp, and that

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>last gasp could be quite some time, you know, years

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and years of living in this very off kiltered, off

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>balance way, and then it just becomes our norm and

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>we forget what it was ever like to live in

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a normal, stable country, because that's how it happens, is

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that go out there and grab life. You know, don't

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>wait for things to go back to quote unquote normal.

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Don't wait for things to just be okay, because the

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.879
<v Speaker 1>world is going to get increasingly dangerous and unsafe and

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these things because we're in a really instaba,

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, unstable time. But that's why I talk so

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>much about your own personal grounding, because it is really

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>important right to ground in yourself and in your own

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 1>joy and in your own purpose and making change that

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 1>you can do right. So you know, for those please

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>look into trying to support the folks that are in

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Morocco six point eight earthquake that you know took over

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a thousand lives in counting the floods in Libya. I mean,

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>those visuals are fucking crazy. Right of water above, you know,

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 1>up to rooftops, thousands and thousands are dead there. You

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have to wait to be directed by your government

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to take action, right, you can take action on your own.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>If you are a member of a religious institution, maybe

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>organize some type of dry and figure out how to

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 1>get resources to that side of the world. You know,

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we can all do something. That is it for me

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 1>today on this woke Wednesday, my friends, I hope you

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.480

<v Speaker 1>this is why I'm taking my trip in November. This

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm like getting myself centered and together and

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.439
<v Speaker 1>all of these things, because the amount of effort that

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>is going to take all of us to get through

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>this next season in America is going to be a lot.

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to tell you again, right, you need

0:21:53.560 --> 0:22:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to reinforce your grounding, reinforce your joy with books and

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:05.040
