WEBVTT - Negotiating With Political Terrorists

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to bok F Daily with

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Pre recording from the home Bunker, Folks,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking a little bit of a retreat and break

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>for the weekend, and so I am pre recording this

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>as we have discovered that Kevin McCarthy and the Republican

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Party are in absolute and complete shit show and will

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>remain that way. And it's wild to me. Wild to

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>me on this bucket Friday that Kevin McCarthy's own admission

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>on face the nation that he's blaming Democrats who helped

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>him avert a government shutdown when his own party would not,

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's Democrats that he's blaming for having been ousted

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in history from the speakership by

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>his own party because he decided on a deal that

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>would allow that to happen with one person's vote. So

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to say that Kevin McCarthy the Republican Party

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>is an absolute shit show. And I go and state

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>this as so many people are writing these bullshit think

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>pieces where they are saying that Democrats shot themselves in

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>the foot, And I ask you, how when you recognize

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>that the other political party in the United States is

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 1>filled with terrorists when you realize that we should not

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>negotiate with terrorists because when you try and give them

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>an inch, they will take a foot a foot of

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>rope and then hang you with it. So I'm confused

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>about why anybody would be putting out pieces or commentary

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>around what it is that Democrats did wrong in this moment,

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>because that goes to show you what the fuck is

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>wrong with corporate media. Democrats didn't do anything wrong. Democrats

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>are united around their minority leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries. Democrats

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>did the right thing to avert a government shutdown when

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party said, let them e k right. So

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 1>every time that there is a narrative that comes out

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that wants to say that Democrats should do a better job,

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that that is coming from a place of

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>gas lighting partisan bullshit, because Democrats did exactly what it

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>is Kevin McCarthy deserved. Kevin McCarthy, who served as what

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>speaker for a handful of months after a humiliating fifteen votes,

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>and now the vote to vacate the speakership never happening

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the House of Representatives. And you

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.679
<v Speaker 1>want to turn around and blame Democrats for your ineptitude

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>understanding that Nancy Pelosi had the same fucking margins that

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you did, was voted as speaker confirmed twice, and got

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a everest worth of work done with the same margins

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that you couldn't manage to get anything done. And also

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a note for these fucking cable news anchors that are

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>having Republicans come on to talk about their historic policies

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>and how they're working on behalf of the American people.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's a tip for you all that seemed to struggle

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>with asking questions and cutting off Republicans that are using

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>your show as an opportunity to grandstand on absolutely nothing.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Ask them what policies they're proud of. Ask them what

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>policies they have put out under Kevin McCarthy's tutelage that

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>have advanced the American people's lives in any which way.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Ask them what it is that they are so proud

0:03:55.160 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>of that didn't require Democrats to also show up. Just

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>ask ask the fucking basic question that we know that

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you won't. I have to say that you know, I

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>don't care if they put in to the speakership. Mickey

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Mouse Hitler you know, Donald Trump or whomever, I honestly

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>don't give a fuck because I have come to a

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>place with this Republican cult, white supremacist party where and

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I said this on social media, if their implosion comes

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 1>with collateral damage, that's fine with me. I'm okay, right,

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because at the end of the day, these people have

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to go one way or the other. They are dangerous, right,

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>they are liars, they are extremists, and they are honestly

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 1>going to stop at nothing. You add Lindsey Graham this week,

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>taking to social media saying that Judge and Goron in

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump's fraud case needs to be taken care of. What

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the fuck does that mean? Right? And where the fuck

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>is the FBI Every single time that one of these

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>motherfuckers who want to open up their mouth and threaten somebody,

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>because we havebnormalize political threats in this country and behavior.

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to read to you this post that was

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 1>done by the national political correspondent at Axios and it

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 1>was retweeted quote retweeted by Sherylyn Eifel, and I retweeted

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it as well. And this is what he has written

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump in the last few weeks. I want you all

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to listen to this what Donald Trump has done in

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the past few weeks, and also understand that as I'm

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>as I'm saying this, Donald Trump is still free. Right.

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this Donald Trump in the past few weeks,

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.559
<v Speaker 1>said the former Joint chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milly,

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>committed treason and suggested execution. He called for Judge and

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Goern to be disbarred, thrown out of office, and criminally prosecuted.

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>In addition to attack backing the judge's clerk. Side note

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>on the attack of the judge's clerk which got him

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a limited gag order, which was Judge Angern's way of saying,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you can talk all the smack you want about me,

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but you open up your mouth about my motherfucking staff

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and you will see what sanctions come your way. So

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a limited gag order. But come just understand

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>folks that if you or anyone you knew did even

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>one of these two things, and the list goes on,

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue, you would be in jail. You

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be receiving anybody's limited gag order. You would be

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in jail, and they would have all of the reasons

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and paperwork and trail to keep your ass there until

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>your trial was over and if you were found, you know,

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.559
<v Speaker 1>to be innocent. Now, this case that he's being tried

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump right now is not a criminal case,

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>so jail is not the option. But understand that these

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>judges actually have a lot more power and discretion than

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>they are choosing to use at this time. And I

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>keep saying, it is clear to me that these people

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>are waiting for somebody to be killed. They are waiting

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>for somebody to be harmed. Right. Who follows Donald Trump's

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>instructions that these judges and DA's and jurors and what

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>have you need to be quote unquote taken care of, right,

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and then when it happens, you'll see these same motherfuckers

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 1>want to send thoughts and prayers. So here's the list

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that continues. Donald Trump in the last few weeks labeled

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the New York Attorney General Letitia James, who's suing Trump

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>for fraudently inflating his wealth and assets on financial race records,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>as a racist and a monster. He said Special Counsel Jacksmith,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>who's prosecuting Trump in the January sixth and classified documents cases,

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>is quote deranged and psycho who looks like a crackhead

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>posted on line in all caps. If you go after me,

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming after you. One day after swearing in federal

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>court that he would not intimidate witnesses in the election

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>interference case, he mocked Paul Pelosi after he was brutally

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>assaulted by a home intruder that was searching for Pelosi

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi his wife, and called for police to shoot

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>shoplifters on site. Those are the things that Donald Trump

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>said in the past few weeks. Here's what Sherilyn Eifel

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>says to all of this, and I want you all

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to listen up real clear, She writes, I now believe

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that we have been groomed, yes, groomed by Trump to

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>accept greater and greater breaches of law, ethics, decency, and norms.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>We need to start reacting again and preempting reset the boundaries.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>At this rate, the worst will be upon us before

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we even realize it. I believe that the worst has

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>already come. Write some of the worst. Right. No, she's

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>correct in the fact that it's gonna keep getting worse.

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Why because every time that you move a boundary, every

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>time that you shift a fucking goal. You create more

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>space for nonsense, You create more space for fuckery because

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>when you hold fast boundaries, those that are trying to

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>break them and push them get the signal, oh, this

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>actually isn't to be moved, this actually isn't to be

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>messed with. But when you continue to bend to their will,

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 1>all you end up doing is having them push arder

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 1>and then removing you out of the way altogether, which

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>is what the Republican Party is trying to do to

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the rule of fucking law. You know, folks, I cannot

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>stress enough that when you are talking to your fellow colleagues, friends,

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>family members, and they are saying to you that there

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is no difference between the political parties, please list out

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>all of the things that I just did about Donald

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump and see what they would do if you had

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>changed the name from Trump to Obama, to Clinton to

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>any other Democrat, and see exactly what it is that

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.719
<v Speaker 1>they would be okay with. And then when again, I

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>want to go back to cable news for a second,

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>because when you allow these Republicans to go on television

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to grandstand and say that there is no difference between

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trump has done and what Hunter Biden has done.

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I want folks to remember, Hunter Biden is not an

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>elected official. Hunter Biden never ran for office. Hunter Biden

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>never held office, So any wrongdoing that he does is

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on his own. He's not harming the American people or

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the system. Donald Trump, however, is. I'm just you know, folks,

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm so fucking tired. I'm just so fucking tired of

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the double triple standards that are put up. I'm so

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>tired of the stupid fuck in both sides ism. I'm

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so tired of all of it. Right, And you know,

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I have to say that I don't honestly believe that

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 1>this country finds its way back. I think that wherever

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.959
<v Speaker 1>America lands up is going to be the new normal,

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>which is going to be a mix of atrocities, devastation, disease, destruction,

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and death. And I'm not saying that like tongue in cheek.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually being really serious that if you and your family,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and these are things that I'm talking about with my

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>own family, do not have plans for what happens if

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans are able to steal the twenty twenty four election,

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and then if nothing happens with Donald Trump, and he's

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>not thrown in jail, and the people that ate it

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and embedded him are not thrown in jail, then we're

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>going to keep holding our breath every four years, praying

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.719
<v Speaker 1>to God that we continue to hold on to democracy

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>with our claus because if people are not held accountable

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>for treasonous behavior, actual treason, right, then there is nothing

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>that is going to remain off limits. CHERYLN. Eifel is

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>right when she said we need to reset boundaries, we

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>need to actually be outraged. But my fear is that

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>our outrage meter is exhausted. Right. You have this state

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of Georgia has rewritten its own judicial laws to now

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 1>hide the names of DURA members as well as their

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 1>addresses because of Donald Trump's mobster behavior. But is that

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>making front page news. No, We're going to talk about

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's age and the fact that he wears sneakers

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and stutters. I'm just so fucking over all of it.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be honest with you that there are points

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of every week and every month where I get to,

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, right over the edge of my breaking point,

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>because nowhere do I see people really taking this moment

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>seriously and in history if in fact, there were books

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>left and there is a country left. They will say,

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>how did they not stop this? They had every ability

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to stop this, They had every ability to use the

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>full force of the law in order to stop this uprising,

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and they didn't. They kept hoping and swearing on people's

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.079
<v Speaker 1>better angels. Well, when people show you that they're aligned

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>with the devil, folks, how many times do you have

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to look for their better angels? I'm just confused, you know,

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it is I just you know, And what I wrote

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>is that you know, we have fallen for the ropodope,

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>little shrug by, little shrug looking away. Oh, Donald Trump,

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>he'll be better and learn. We've allowed the monster to

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>grow and now it's out of control. Right, Donald Trump

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>initially was a joke, but he was good for ratings,

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>so folks kept watching. Right, we fuel the media's addiction

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump because we didn't put the phone down,

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't put the TV off, didn't close the laptop. What

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>will he do next? What will he say? And now

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>here we are and the man is calling for death

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>for a general that dedicated his life when that draft

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>dodging motherfucker couldn't be bothered. I just I like where

0:14:52.880 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we are just remains absolutely wild. But before I head out,

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I do want to draw your attention to other stories,

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>which is this Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest, if

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>not the largest, healthcare providers as of this recording, went

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>on strike. This is according to CNN quote. On Wednesday,

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 1>more than seventy five thousand unionized employees of Kaiser Permanente,

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the nation's largest not for profit health providers,

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>walked off the job, marking the largest healthcare worker strike

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>in US history. How many times do we have to

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>hear this, folks? In history, in history, biggest in history? Right?

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Why are workers striking across industries because they're sick and

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>tired of watching the fucking wealthy get over on them

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>right while putting their lives at risk. All people want

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is a decent wage so that they can afford a

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>home and food and medicine, right to take a vacation,

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to be able to have sick days so that they

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>can take care of their children, or their elderly family

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>or themselves. Right, health care basics. But the greed, folks,

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>denies the basics from happening. So why are people striking?

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Because they're fucking over it? Because as they're working forty

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty sixty hours a week and staying in the same

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>fucking place while they're watching, the CEOs of these companies

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>make tens of millions of dollars a year. The rich

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>got super rich during COVID while the regular Americans were

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>at food pantries. We're watching as the you know, child

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>childcare time credit which helps people be able to afford

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>childcare so that they can continue to work, expire, right

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no hope for it being written back into being

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>extended because fuck them kids. Oh my god, it is

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just some days, folks. It is overwhelming.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So the striking employees who work across California, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, Oregon,

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and Washington, DC are striking for the week and it

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>is because their negotiations. Their contracts expired on September thirtieth,

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and negotiations haven't gone anywhere. And basically this is a

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>warning shot to those in power that are doing the negotiations.

0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is what the statement from Kaiser quote, our

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>team is available twenty four to seven to continue bargaining

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>with the coalition until we reach a fair and equitable agreement.

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 1>We remain optimistic. There is still time to find agreement

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>before any of the work stoppages called by the coalition

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>unions begin at six am on Wednesday. Clearly, that did

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 1>not happen, and the strike, however, as I'm saying, is temporary.

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>The Kaiser Permanent A workers will return to work on

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>October seventh at six am local time. However, a longer

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>strike may come in November if a deal between the

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Coalition and Kaiser Permanente is not reached after the strike effort.

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>According to communications from SCIU UHW and folks, you know

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>what are these people asking for? Basically, they're demanding higher pay,

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a strategy for kinds of permanent A management to tackle

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>chronic staff shortages, protections against against outsourcing, and earlier notice

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.959
<v Speaker 1>when management calls remote workers back in person to work.

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, during COVID, these are the people that were

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>being applauded right for just that little hot minute, for

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>being essential workers. And guess what they have gotten nothing

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:31.360
<v Speaker 1>but that applause that only lasted a few months, in

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>return for putting their lives and the lives of their

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 1>family on the lives to protect the rest of us.

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>The least that could be done is giving them a

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 1>living fucking wage, one that looks at I don't know,

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 1>hazard pay, because that's what it means to work in

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the United States these days. Oh folks, it's all sometimes

0:19:54.400 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>just too fucking much. And this is just one of

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>those weeks that I was hopeful for the end, excited

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 1>to take my mini reprieve, which I encourage all of

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you if you are able to do so, and if

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you're not able to afford to go someplace, let your

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>mini retreat be, you know, visiting a new bookstore, going,

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, picnicking in a park, just turning off social

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>media and reconnecting with somebody that you haven't talked to

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in a while. Create your own mini retreats because we

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>need them, because the times are too consequential. What is

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>happening is happening at breakneck pace, and you know in

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a conversation that you will hear that you heard yesterday

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>with Jonathan. Chronic disease is at an all time high,

0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>right and our life expectancy is going down. And so

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a part of that care is self care, is taking

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 1>care of ourselves, working out, eating ripe, taking breaks, resting

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis to lower our cortisol levels to

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 1>make sure right to remove the disease inside of our bodies,

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>because these times, y'all, mm hmm, they're coming for all

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of us. That is it for me today, dear friends
