I again, I don't 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.000 want to get myself in trouble, but it has just 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.800 been people open indoors, people saying can you come here, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.880 I'm buying this book.

We 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.640 all know that it's not easy to tell your life story, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.080 it's not easy to be vulnerable, it's not easy to 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.200 do any of these things. And people don't got to 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.640 buy anything from you, nobody, you know what I'm saying, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.200 There's no guarantee that somebody's gonna say, oh, let me 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.839 go pick up to Meeka Mallory's book they could say 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.200 it's not the time, I'm not interested. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.240 But folks have not just been buying one book. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.160 They've been buying five and ten books and sending them 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.279 to friends and posting on socials. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.040 And I'm just very very. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.360 Very very very very appreciative that my story, my book 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.480 I live to tell the story is doing as well 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.800 as it's doing. So that's that's my testimony. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.040 No, it's an amazing book. I'm gonna do chapter three 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.080 right now. And you know, it was a bad little girl. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.760 I could see you just running around with pigtails and 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.040 your mother like what is going on with you? But 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.800 it's it's a it's a beautiful read so far. And 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.600 everybody that I hear you know, they break out in tears. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.720 And I just want to say, congratulations. Man, Like you said, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.480 you worked hard, you put it in. This's your second book. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.520 And I know the emotions that go into this book 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.320 because you know, you speak, you're very open about your 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.120 past and about all these things. A lot of things 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.000 you you never talked about, but things that I know 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.080 that you talked about then I know, just reliving those 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:45.880 things publicly, but publicly they're just reliving those things, you know, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.800 and going retraumatizing yourself, you know. And I've seen a 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.119 lot of times you talk about just as you read 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.480 and you did the audio version that you you had 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.880 to cry a lot of times because you know, it 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.800 touched you in a different way. So I just wanted 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.240 to say, man, we appreciate you, we honor you, and 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.240 continue to be great. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.520 And the book is going to do amazing because it's 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:08.000 supposed to. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.919 That's yeah, I hope, so I believe. So it's already 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.039 throwing amazing. And the good thing about understanding the world 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.920 we live in is that for me, the win is 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.960 that I got it done. I put it in the world, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.400 and there have been hundreds of people who I'm in 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.160 touch with. So there's even more than that in terms 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.640 of folks that don't have my phone number who have 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.160 reached out to me to say, this is really incredible. 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.880 It's a real page turner. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.880 I'm into it, or I'm listening to the audio book, 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.040 I feel the passion. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:38.760 You know. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.839 Now, finally, my father has said to me it was 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.760 really tough for him to get through those first few chapters. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.760 He said, the early stuff was really, really, really hard. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.440 And now that you know he understands even more about 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.719 what was happening. You know, it hurts, but he's able 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.159 to let it go also, so it's here and release 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.200 of a lot of years and years decades of pent 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.920 up stress, aggravation. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:07.159 You know. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.520 My mother's like, you need a switch to your ass 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.719 today for the stuff that was happening then that I 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.599 told you not to go, not to do, not to say, 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.560 and so you know, but I know it's hard. I 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.279 know it's hard. I know it's hard for him to 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.719 hear that my teacher, when I was a young girl, 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.520 you know, asked me to sit on his lap, like 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.160 whose father wants to hear that type of experience your 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.039 daughter had and never said anything, just to try to 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.520 keep from there being any you know, anything in the household, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.240 you know, keep him, you know, try to protect my dad. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.400 So it's difficult, but nonetheless, as he said that, he 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.760 had to encourage my mother to keep going. Because as 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.320 you get deeper in the book, then it becomes some 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.279 light stuff, some fun stuff, some great moments, and you 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.239 begin to see this person who started in one place 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.640 blossom into something and it all makes sense. It's like 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.320 it all clicks. So that's what I live to tell 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.400 the story it's all about. If you haven't purchased my 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.360 book yet, please please please, I'm asking you to get 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:12.840 you a copy, give one away for yourself, purchase a copy. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.840 And an audible version. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:20.040 Purchase a copy and an audio version, and an audible 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.760 version rather and a kindle version. Just get it all 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.040 and you know it's all good. So that's that. Let 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.760 me tell you what my thought of the day is today, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.640 because I know, you know, we are running up against 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.640 time and we have a real good guest coming up 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.200 today that you know, I want us to give the 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.680 proper time too, So I just want to say this publicly, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.040 and by the way, on this tour, it's freezing across 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.480 the whole country, so you know, that's another part of 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.880 the whole thing is that we chose to do this 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:55.280 in the winter time, and it's phrasing in America. Is 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.560 a freezing where you all live, I don't know, but 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:03.640 it's definitely freezing everywhere. Degrees two degrees twenty eight thirty 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.840 thirty being like the highest. So that's that makes it 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.280 a little bit more challenging, but it is what it is. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.400 So here's my thought of the day, y'all. If it 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.160 walks like a duct, and it quacks like a duct. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.360 It's a duck. Okay. We spend a lot of time 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:27.440 trying to make excuses and find ways to you know, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:33.120 make sense of and also to try to take on 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:40.280 mentally these concepts or thoughts and ideas and realities that's 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.320 around us. And what I mean by that is that 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.760 it's so much shit going on in our society that 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.480 in order to be able to deal with it without 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:55.560 losing your mind, you will find yourself trying to believe 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.440 and process certain things, hoping maybe what I see I 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.840 don't really see, because what I see is so serious 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.240 that I don't want to see it. That's where we are. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.920 We just it's like, you know, maybe Donald Trump and 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.760 them are not actually you know, going through the government 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.000 firing people and trying to reduce the number of whistleblowers 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.080 that's around to see what they're doing and to report 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.640 on it. So they're replacing they're taking many people out 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.600 and then replacing people with folks who they claim are 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:36.280 committed to their principles, people who are more aligned with 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.280 their political strategies, and people who are supposed to be 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:45.280 doing the work to audit the government and find corruption 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.520 and so you try to make yourself believab. Well, maybe 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.079 actually is because there's got to be corruption, because we 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:51.679 all know that. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.920 Corruption is absolutely in the government. 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.079 But the problem is that the chief corruptors are looking 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.760 for a way to with corruption and instead what they're 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.520 really doing is replacing people so that their corruption does misdirection, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.240 so that their corruption does not end them up or 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.280 end up in them being indicted again and again and 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.160 actually having to serve prison time. That's what it is 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:23.120 they're eluding, if you will, the government looking for places 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.120 where people can make money, where they you know, they 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.720 can get contracts, they can give their friends the things 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.040 that they need, they can restore some relationships, and they're 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.439 just doing their thing right, and that's it. So so 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.960 so it's not so what you see is actually happening 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.120 right in front of you. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:41.800 You know. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.480 And I would say it's akin to you just being like, well, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.800 you know, I don't think that my wife, you know, 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.240 is ready to leave me. I don't think my wife 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.600 is ready to leave me. I don't think my wife 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.760 is ready to leave me. I see signs. She don't 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.800 want to have sex, she don't want to talk. We 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.480 don't go anywhere everything looks like she's leaving me, but 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.400 I still want to believe that maybe she's not right. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.800 That's what we tell ourselves so that we don't have 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.000 to face what's in. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.760 Front of us. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.959 So I was doing some research on Elon Musk because 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.559 we believe that he is actually the one who's running 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.160 the show right now. I know that I believe this 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.760 not because of what somebody else told me, but I 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.600 actually have been listening to his words, and now I've 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.280 done some research on where Elon Musk actually comes from. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.160 Now there may be people out there who are like, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.240 we already know all of this stuff, but I don't 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.439 think so because I don't hear enough people talking about it. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.400 So Elon Musk, by the way, is I believe he's 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.320 running things, And like I said, it is because of 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.080 some of the things I've heard him say. So he 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.000 was on a conference call, it's just several days maybe 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.480 a week ago, which was reported in which on a 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.040 conference call he said, you know, if it's now or 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.520 never to do all the things we want to do. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.400 If we don't get it done now, we're never going 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:07.920 to be able to do it. So we should just 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.800 do everything we should, you know, reduce the government, you know, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.120 terminate people, just do everything that we want to do 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.880 now while we can get away with it. And he said, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.040 if we make a mistake or we miss the mark, 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.760 then we could just add people back. So let's just 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.720 fire people and then we'll find new people to add back. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.520 So that's his mentality. And then and then Donald Trump says, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.080 Elon Musk is not doing anything that we have not 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.640 given him the you know, the. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:40.520 Green light to do. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.280 So that means that they've agreed that whatever he's saying 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.480 is what it is. And I interpret it as I 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.319 don't really know Donald Trump, because I'm not that bright 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.600 any damn way, and I don't really know how to 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.200 do it. But I like other people that I see, black, white, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.640 all kinds of people who are mesmerized by the amount 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.320 of money that Elon Musk has, and therefore they have 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.680 accepted that he must know something because he's been able 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.320 to build all these businesses and he's the world's most 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.400 richest man, and he's got all of this you know, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.640 wealth and whatnot. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:13.840 He's got all these. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.040 Toys, tunnels under the ground, he's got spaceships, he's got 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.440 all these things. So we're gonna just, you know, pretty 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.160 much figure let him be the lead and we'll see 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.400 if maybe he can do that. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.280 For the rest of us. Bullshit. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.199 So number one, I just want to say this. Let 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.319 me just give give you a couple of points. So 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.760 in doing my research, what I found is that Elon 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:43.119 Musk's grandparents were a part of basically, they were neo Nazis, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:48.520 right and his grandparents when they were in Canada, they 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:54.400 were a part of a right wing society that supported 0:13:54.760 --> 0:14:01.640 be Nazis. They supported the ideals of neo knots. That's 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.920 who they were. This is something verifiable. In fact, In fact, 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.640 his mother May had a boyfriend who tells the story 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:17.240 that Elon's grandparents who were her It was his girlfriend's parents. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.160 They were weird, that they had these ideals that were 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.880 like far far right wing ideals. He says that they 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.640 were actually pretty like dangerous and scary people and he 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.360 didn't like them. He didn't even want to be around them. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.920 So he broke up with her because he was like 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.040 these people, they're not good people. I don't want to 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.600 be associated with it. This is the grandparents. So we're 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.480 back with it walks like a duck. It quacks like 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.400 a duck, and that's who raised them. So no, these 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.880 other people who raise them. Then you come to his parents, 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.480 his family, and how they got to South Africa. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.760 It is outlined in multiple articles. It is being. 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:02.760 Discussed by historians. How they went to You know, obviously 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.480 Canada started to shift to become a little bit more liberal, 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:11.040 so they weren't able to be as outwardly racist in 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.800 in in Canada, and so they were looking for other places. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.400 They found South Africa and somewhere that they wanted to 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:24.600 go because they supported apartheid. They supported apartheid, and so 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.560 they wanted to be there. They went there supporting apartheid. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:33.040 Now recently we see that Elon musk In on a 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.960 zoom he was a part of an all right conference 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.600 in for some for some German group, right, these people 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.640 are like extremists as well. He got on their call. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.479 He didn't say, well, I don't think that it's appropriate 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.440 for me to be a part of this type of conversation. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:57.120 Understanding who these people are and and understanding their ideals 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.359 and then ultimately how this will look to the Jewish community, 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.160 to Black communities, to everybody, because we know that it 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.600 needs all right groups. Oftentimes that's where you find racist people, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.760 baked in people who believe in in fascism, and ultimately 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.240 people who believe in apartheid. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.440 And and and and and. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.560 Colonialism stealing people's land. Right, So he didn't say, well, 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.680 I don't think that's an appropriate place for me to be. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.680 Not only did he go and speak to the people 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.400 at the conference, he told them, hey, I don't you know, 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.320 I think that we should be moving past the point 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.000 where you will feel guilty about what your ancestors or 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:39.120 your parents or other people did now again. And then 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.040 of course there is the symbol that he did that 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.080 we know exactly what it looked like, and we believe 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:50.160 that the symbol was exactly what it represents. So people 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.160 will say, well, I don't you know, I don't know, 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.240 maybe not maybe his parents, But if the man today 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:03.400 is still carrying the same mindset, talking points and involved 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:08.040 in an administration, leading an administration and doing things like 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:13.719 rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion, speaking of immigrants migrants 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:19.720 and disable people and other people, degrading them, and wanting 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.000 to criminalize people, talking to President of the United States 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.560 talking about police having immunity. This is the type of 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.440 thing that he is a part of. So why would 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.080 we think that somehow what he said where his family 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.919 comes from the fact that his parents raised him in 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.199 apartheid South Africa. Why would we believe that somehow he 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.879 is not exactly what we see in front of our faces. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.879 And he is running the government, has access to every 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.800 single bit of our information, our social security numbers, our 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.520 payment systems. Now people will say, well, we think that 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:03.200 he's good at, you know, seeking out government corruption and whatever. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.160 Elon Musk, the same man who last week called people 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.240 on government assistance people who you know, just folks who 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.920 are regular working people. He said they are parasites. He 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.720 used these words. He used that word. I didn't use 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.159 that word. He said they are parasites. Right, he's also 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:27.240 a parasite if his definition of people who are taking 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:32.240 government assistance and government resources are parasites. Let's be clear, 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:38.119 his businesses failed and he used money from government assistance, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.000 government subsidies to help him build his businesses back and 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.320 to be able to be the richest man in the world. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.040 If that's true, I don't know, but that's what they say. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.680 He used government subsidies. You should just look it up 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.200 so we better be real clear about what we see 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.560 in front of our faces, because a lot of people 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.760 are sitting by acting like what we see is normal 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.000 and it's cool, and you know, well, we're gonna see 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.360 what comes out of it. Meanwhile, we've got a rampant 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.720 white supremacist who learn what he knows from a place 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.879 that we fought to ensure that the people of South 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.240 Africa would be free from the type of tyranny that 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.000 his grandparents. At least we know that. I'm still getting 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.960 to understanding where his parents stood. But this is how 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.800 he was raised. This is what these people believe, and 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.760 this is what he now is a part of trying 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.320 to design in our nation, which is an all white, 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:39.359 all male led nation that leaves everybody else to be 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.679 servants that make sure that other people are in a 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.920 tear or a class beneath him. It is real. It's 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.320 happening in front of your eyes in this particular moment. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.159 What you see is what it is. It walks like 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.959 a duck, it quacks like a duck, and it is 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.760 an actual duck. So be clear, in fact, we are 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:00.000 where we think we are. 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.639 No, we're definitely and I have this conversation all the time, 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.040 and you know, it was a lot of people loud 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:07.000 before the election. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:08.280 They're very quiet now. 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.879 You know they've moved on and we're still here because 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.280 we understand the seriousness of what we're dealing with. And 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.480 when I'm listening to Elon, what he's doing is it's 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.400 a playbook. You know, people don't study Hitler, they don't 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.200 study the Nazis. If you study what they did, they 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.880 created distrust in the government. Right, that's the first thing 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:29.439 you do, and it doesn't have to be true. So 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.080 what he's doing now by saying that there's billions of 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.320 dollars being stolen from our tax player's money, but never 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.520 providing who's stealing it. Right, If you're going through there 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.640 and you're saying that they stole billions of dollars, you're 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.600 saying that they got one hundred and fifty year old 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.480 man that's on social security. What's the man's name, what's 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.840 his social security? Now, if you're saying that people are 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.320 making thirty million dollars that make twenty five, that make 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.040 two hundred and fifty thousand, who are these people? Why 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.240 you know what I'm saying. Why don't you have any 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.840 information to substantiate any claim. You just throw that out 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:03.359 to people who already distrust the government. And you do 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:05.480 that to people and they just grab onto it. And 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.480 it doesn't have to have basis that just the fact 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.200 that you're inside those rooms, people validate those statements as 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:12.800 being true. 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.439 And it's very dangerous. And what you do is create 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:16.960 people to believe. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.600 That you are the only hope that they have if 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.520 you're the savior, right, you create this set, you create 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.040 the savior process, and you make yourself look like the savior, 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.560 and you're saving American people from shit that you've actually created. 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.280 And it's called misdirection. They missdirection, and they have us 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.119 focusing on this ship while they over actually stealing and 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.159 doing a bunch of shit. Yet the eggs and the 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.760 milk is still not low, and we still have and 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.800 it's actually higher, and nobody's focusing on it, talking about, oh, 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.159 we didn't have no wars. This man is about to 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.040 have damn in World War three. He's talking about taking 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:54.600 over Gaza. He's ready to empower you know, put in, 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:58.760 he's empowering Ananiahu. Even more so, it's like for me, 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.280 he made threats like this this is this is a 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.399
