1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to bok F Daily with 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Pre recording from the home Bunker, Folks, 3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm taking a little bit of a retreat and break 4 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: for the weekend, and so I am pre recording this 5 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: as we have discovered that Kevin McCarthy and the Republican 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: Party are in absolute and complete shit show and will 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: remain that way. And it's wild to me. Wild to 8 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: me on this bucket Friday that Kevin McCarthy's own admission 9 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: on face the nation that he's blaming Democrats who helped 10 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: him avert a government shutdown when his own party would not, 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: that it's Democrats that he's blaming for having been ousted 12 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: for the first time in history from the speakership by 13 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: his own party because he decided on a deal that 14 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: would allow that to happen with one person's vote. So 15 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I have to say that Kevin McCarthy the Republican Party 16 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: is an absolute shit show. And I go and state 17 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: this as so many people are writing these bullshit think 18 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: pieces where they are saying that Democrats shot themselves in 19 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: the foot, And I ask you, how when you recognize 20 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: that the other political party in the United States is 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: filled with terrorists when you realize that we should not 22 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: negotiate with terrorists because when you try and give them 23 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: an inch, they will take a foot a foot of 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: rope and then hang you with it. So I'm confused 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: about why anybody would be putting out pieces or commentary 26 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: around what it is that Democrats did wrong in this moment, 27 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: because that goes to show you what the fuck is 28 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: wrong with corporate media. Democrats didn't do anything wrong. Democrats 29 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: are united around their minority leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries. Democrats 30 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: did the right thing to avert a government shutdown when 31 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the Republican Party said, let them e k right. So 32 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: every time that there is a narrative that comes out 33 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: that wants to say that Democrats should do a better job, 34 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: I know that that is coming from a place of 35 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: gas lighting partisan bullshit, because Democrats did exactly what it 36 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: is Kevin McCarthy deserved. Kevin McCarthy, who served as what 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: speaker for a handful of months after a humiliating fifteen votes, 38 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: and now the vote to vacate the speakership never happening 39 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: in the history of the House of Representatives. And you 40 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: want to turn around and blame Democrats for your ineptitude 41 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: understanding that Nancy Pelosi had the same fucking margins that 42 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: you did, was voted as speaker confirmed twice, and got 43 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: a everest worth of work done with the same margins 44 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: that you couldn't manage to get anything done. And also 45 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: a note for these fucking cable news anchors that are 46 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: having Republicans come on to talk about their historic policies 47 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: and how they're working on behalf of the American people. 48 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Here's a tip for you all that seemed to struggle 49 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: with asking questions and cutting off Republicans that are using 50 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: your show as an opportunity to grandstand on absolutely nothing. 51 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: Ask them what policies they're proud of. Ask them what 52 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: policies they have put out under Kevin McCarthy's tutelage that 53 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: have advanced the American people's lives in any which way. 54 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: Ask them what it is that they are so proud 55 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: of that didn't require Democrats to also show up. Just 56 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: ask ask the fucking basic question that we know that 57 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: you won't. I have to say that you know, I 58 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: don't care if they put in to the speakership. Mickey 59 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: Mouse Hitler you know, Donald Trump or whomever, I honestly 60 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: don't give a fuck because I have come to a 61 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: place with this Republican cult, white supremacist party where and 62 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: I said this on social media, if their implosion comes 63 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: with collateral damage, that's fine with me. I'm okay, right, 64 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, these people have 65 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: to go one way or the other. They are dangerous, right, 66 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: they are liars, they are extremists, and they are honestly 67 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: going to stop at nothing. You add Lindsey Graham this week, 68 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: taking to social media saying that Judge and Goron in 69 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Trump's fraud case needs to be taken care of. What 70 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: the fuck does that mean? Right? And where the fuck 71 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: is the FBI Every single time that one of these 72 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: motherfuckers who want to open up their mouth and threaten somebody, 73 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: because we havebnormalize political threats in this country and behavior. 74 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: I want to read to you this post that was 75 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: done by the national political correspondent at Axios and it 76 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: was retweeted quote retweeted by Sherylyn Eifel, and I retweeted 77 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: it as well. And this is what he has written 78 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Trump in the last few weeks. I want you all 79 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: to listen to this what Donald Trump has done in 80 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: the past few weeks, and also understand that as I'm 81 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: as I'm saying this, Donald Trump is still free. Right. 82 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Listen to this Donald Trump in the past few weeks, 83 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 1: said the former Joint chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milly, 84 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: committed treason and suggested execution. He called for Judge and 85 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: Goern to be disbarred, thrown out of office, and criminally prosecuted. 86 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: In addition to attack backing the judge's clerk. Side note 87 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: on the attack of the judge's clerk which got him 88 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: a limited gag order, which was Judge Angern's way of saying, 89 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you can talk all the smack you want about me, 90 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: but you open up your mouth about my motherfucking staff 91 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: and you will see what sanctions come your way. So 92 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: this is a limited gag order. But come just understand 93 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: folks that if you or anyone you knew did even 94 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: one of these two things, and the list goes on, 95 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to continue, you would be in jail. You 96 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't be receiving anybody's limited gag order. You would be 97 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: in jail, and they would have all of the reasons 98 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: and paperwork and trail to keep your ass there until 99 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: your trial was over and if you were found, you know, 100 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: to be innocent. Now, this case that he's being tried 101 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump right now is not a criminal case, 102 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: so jail is not the option. But understand that these 103 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: judges actually have a lot more power and discretion than 104 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: they are choosing to use at this time. And I 105 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: keep saying, it is clear to me that these people 106 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: are waiting for somebody to be killed. They are waiting 107 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: for somebody to be harmed. Right. Who follows Donald Trump's 108 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: instructions that these judges and DA's and jurors and what 109 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: have you need to be quote unquote taken care of, right, 110 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: and then when it happens, you'll see these same motherfuckers 111 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: want to send thoughts and prayers. So here's the list 112 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: that continues. Donald Trump in the last few weeks labeled 113 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: the New York Attorney General Letitia James, who's suing Trump 114 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: for fraudently inflating his wealth and assets on financial race records, 115 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: as a racist and a monster. He said Special Counsel Jacksmith, 116 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: who's prosecuting Trump in the January sixth and classified documents cases, 117 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: is quote deranged and psycho who looks like a crackhead 118 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: posted on line in all caps. If you go after me, 119 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm coming after you. One day after swearing in federal 120 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: court that he would not intimidate witnesses in the election 121 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: interference case, he mocked Paul Pelosi after he was brutally 122 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: assaulted by a home intruder that was searching for Pelosi 123 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi his wife, and called for police to shoot 124 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: shoplifters on site. Those are the things that Donald Trump 125 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: said in the past few weeks. Here's what Sherilyn Eifel 126 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: says to all of this, and I want you all 127 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: to listen up real clear, She writes, I now believe 128 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: that we have been groomed, yes, groomed by Trump to 129 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: accept greater and greater breaches of law, ethics, decency, and norms. 130 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: We need to start reacting again and preempting reset the boundaries. 131 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: At this rate, the worst will be upon us before 132 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: we even realize it. I believe that the worst has 133 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: already come. Write some of the worst. Right. No, she's 134 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: correct in the fact that it's gonna keep getting worse. 135 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Why because every time that you move a boundary, every 136 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: time that you shift a fucking goal. You create more 137 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: space for nonsense, You create more space for fuckery because 138 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: when you hold fast boundaries, those that are trying to 139 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: break them and push them get the signal, oh, this 140 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: actually isn't to be moved, this actually isn't to be 141 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: messed with. But when you continue to bend to their will, 142 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: all you end up doing is having them push arder 143 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: and then removing you out of the way altogether, which 144 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: is what the Republican Party is trying to do to 145 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: the rule of fucking law. You know, folks, I cannot 146 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: stress enough that when you are talking to your fellow colleagues, friends, 147 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: family members, and they are saying to you that there 148 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: is no difference between the political parties, please list out 149 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: all of the things that I just did about Donald 150 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Trump and see what they would do if you had 151 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: changed the name from Trump to Obama, to Clinton to 152 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: any other Democrat, and see exactly what it is that 153 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: they would be okay with. And then when again, I 154 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: want to go back to cable news for a second, 155 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: because when you allow these Republicans to go on television 156 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: to grandstand and say that there is no difference between 157 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has done and what Hunter Biden has done. 158 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: I want folks to remember, Hunter Biden is not an 159 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: elected official. Hunter Biden never ran for office. Hunter Biden 160 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: never held office, So any wrongdoing that he does is 161 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: on his own. He's not harming the American people or 162 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: the system. Donald Trump, however, is. I'm just you know, folks, 163 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm so fucking tired. I'm just so fucking tired of 164 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: the double triple standards that are put up. I'm so 165 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: tired of the stupid fuck in both sides ism. I'm 166 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: so tired of all of it. Right, And you know, 167 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: I have to say that I don't honestly believe that 168 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: this country finds its way back. I think that wherever 169 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: America lands up is going to be the new normal, 170 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: which is going to be a mix of atrocities, devastation, disease, destruction, 171 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: and death. And I'm not saying that like tongue in cheek. 172 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: I'm actually being really serious that if you and your family, 173 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: and these are things that I'm talking about with my 174 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: own family, do not have plans for what happens if 175 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the Republicans are able to steal the twenty twenty four election, 176 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: and then if nothing happens with Donald Trump, and he's 177 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: not thrown in jail, and the people that ate it 178 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: and embedded him are not thrown in jail, then we're 179 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: going to keep holding our breath every four years, praying 180 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: to God that we continue to hold on to democracy 181 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: with our claus because if people are not held accountable 182 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: for treasonous behavior, actual treason, right, then there is nothing 183 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: that is going to remain off limits. CHERYLN. Eifel is 184 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: right when she said we need to reset boundaries, we 185 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: need to actually be outraged. But my fear is that 186 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: our outrage meter is exhausted. Right. You have this state 187 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: of Georgia has rewritten its own judicial laws to now 188 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: hide the names of DURA members as well as their 189 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: addresses because of Donald Trump's mobster behavior. But is that 190 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: making front page news. No, We're going to talk about 191 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's age and the fact that he wears sneakers 192 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: and stutters. I'm just so fucking over all of it. 193 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you that there are points 194 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: of every week and every month where I get to, 195 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, right over the edge of my breaking point, 196 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: because nowhere do I see people really taking this moment 197 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: seriously and in history if in fact, there were books 198 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: left and there is a country left. They will say, 199 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: how did they not stop this? They had every ability 200 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: to stop this, They had every ability to use the 201 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: full force of the law in order to stop this uprising, 202 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: and they didn't. They kept hoping and swearing on people's 203 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: better angels. Well, when people show you that they're aligned 204 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: with the devil, folks, how many times do you have 205 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: to look for their better angels? I'm just confused, you know, 206 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: it is I just you know, And what I wrote 207 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: is that you know, we have fallen for the ropodope, 208 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: little shrug by, little shrug looking away. Oh, Donald Trump, 209 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: he'll be better and learn. We've allowed the monster to 210 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: grow and now it's out of control. Right, Donald Trump 211 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: initially was a joke, but he was good for ratings, 212 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: so folks kept watching. Right, we fuel the media's addiction 213 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump because we didn't put the phone down, 214 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: didn't put the TV off, didn't close the laptop. What 215 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: will he do next? What will he say? And now 216 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: here we are and the man is calling for death 217 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: for a general that dedicated his life when that draft 218 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: dodging motherfucker couldn't be bothered. I just I like where 219 00:14:52,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: we are just remains absolutely wild. But before I head out, 220 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: I do want to draw your attention to other stories, 221 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: which is this Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest, if 222 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: not the largest, healthcare providers as of this recording, went 223 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: on strike. This is according to CNN quote. On Wednesday, 224 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: more than seventy five thousand unionized employees of Kaiser Permanente, 225 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: one of the nation's largest not for profit health providers, 226 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: walked off the job, marking the largest healthcare worker strike 227 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: in US history. How many times do we have to 228 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: hear this, folks? In history, in history, biggest in history? Right? 229 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: Why are workers striking across industries because they're sick and 230 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: tired of watching the fucking wealthy get over on them 231 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: right while putting their lives at risk. All people want 232 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: is a decent wage so that they can afford a 233 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: home and food and medicine, right to take a vacation, 234 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: to be able to have sick days so that they 235 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: can take care of their children, or their elderly family 236 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: or themselves. Right, health care basics. But the greed, folks, 237 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: denies the basics from happening. So why are people striking? 238 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: Because they're fucking over it? Because as they're working forty 239 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: fifty sixty hours a week and staying in the same 240 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: fucking place while they're watching, the CEOs of these companies 241 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: make tens of millions of dollars a year. The rich 242 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: got super rich during COVID while the regular Americans were 243 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: at food pantries. We're watching as the you know, child 244 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: childcare time credit which helps people be able to afford 245 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: childcare so that they can continue to work, expire, right 246 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: there's no hope for it being written back into being 247 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: extended because fuck them kids. Oh my god, it is 248 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's just some days, folks. It is overwhelming. 249 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: So the striking employees who work across California, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, Oregon, 250 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: and Washington, DC are striking for the week and it 251 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: is because their negotiations. Their contracts expired on September thirtieth, 252 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: and negotiations haven't gone anywhere. And basically this is a 253 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: warning shot to those in power that are doing the negotiations. 254 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: And this is what the statement from Kaiser quote, our 255 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: team is available twenty four to seven to continue bargaining 256 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: with the coalition until we reach a fair and equitable agreement. 257 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: We remain optimistic. There is still time to find agreement 258 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: before any of the work stoppages called by the coalition 259 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: unions begin at six am on Wednesday. Clearly, that did 260 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: not happen, and the strike, however, as I'm saying, is temporary. 261 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: The Kaiser Permanent A workers will return to work on 262 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: October seventh at six am local time. However, a longer 263 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: strike may come in November if a deal between the 264 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: Coalition and Kaiser Permanente is not reached after the strike effort. 265 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: According to communications from SCIU UHW and folks, you know 266 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: what are these people asking for? Basically, they're demanding higher pay, 267 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: a strategy for kinds of permanent A management to tackle 268 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: chronic staff shortages, protections against against outsourcing, and earlier notice 269 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: when management calls remote workers back in person to work. 270 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, during COVID, these are the people that were 271 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: being applauded right for just that little hot minute, for 272 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: being essential workers. And guess what they have gotten nothing 273 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: but that applause that only lasted a few months, in 274 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: return for putting their lives and the lives of their 275 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: family on the lives to protect the rest of us. 276 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: The least that could be done is giving them a 277 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: living fucking wage, one that looks at I don't know, 278 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: hazard pay, because that's what it means to work in 279 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: the United States these days. Oh folks, it's all sometimes 280 00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: just too fucking much. And this is just one of 281 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: those weeks that I was hopeful for the end, excited 282 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: to take my mini reprieve, which I encourage all of 283 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: you if you are able to do so, and if 284 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: you're not able to afford to go someplace, let your 285 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: mini retreat be, you know, visiting a new bookstore, going, 286 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, picnicking in a park, just turning off social 287 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: media and reconnecting with somebody that you haven't talked to 288 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: in a while. Create your own mini retreats because we 289 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: need them, because the times are too consequential. What is 290 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: happening is happening at breakneck pace, and you know in 291 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: a conversation that you will hear that you heard yesterday 292 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: with Jonathan.

And so 294 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: a part of that care is self care, is taking 295 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: care of ourselves, working out, eating ripe, taking breaks, resting 296 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: on a regular basis to lower our cortisol levels to 297 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: make sure right to remove the disease inside of our bodies, 298 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: because these times, y'all, mm hmm, they're coming for all 299 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: of us.
