1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wilk F Daily with

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: me your girl, daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks,

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: I am recording this a head of the vice presidential debate,

Speaker 1: Danielle Moody Show Live, so you can join me there

9
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: as well. But at the time of this recording, I'm

10
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: having some wild thoughts, folks, and I'm gonna share them

11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: with you, which is I woke up this morning and

12
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: I was filled with a sense of dread that I

13
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: have not felt since July, since the change in the ticket.

14
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: And in all honesty, this is what I'm gonna say.

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with what the Harris Wall's

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: team is doing. I think that they are doing phenomenal.

17
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I think that this ticket has revitalized people. I think

18
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: that they're messaging their road shows. Everything that they're doing

19
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: is Chef's Kiss perfect. So this is not at all

20
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: as what would normally be my critique on what Democrats

21
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: need to do and how they're shitty at messaging and

22
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: dah da da da, da da da. What I woke

23
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: up feeling a sense of dread around is that there

24
00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: are just really well funded people and to keys organizations,

25
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: news outlets that are all conspiring to end democracy. And

26
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: it just struck me that if this were a normal election, right,

27
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: like if this were twenty twelve, and you know, it

28
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: was really about the Republican candidate versus the Democratic candidate,

29
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: and made the person with the best ideas win, right,

30
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: the one that can convince the American people of your

31
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: ideology wins, then I would say, hands down, Kamala Harris

32
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: is going to win. She has plans for our health care,

33
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: for our economy, for our education system. She has plans,

34
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: not concepts of a plan, but an actual plan. And

35
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: so if that were the case, and there warrant multi

36
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: billionaires like Peter Teel, Elon Musk and these other right

37
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: wing billionaire set that have all the money in the

38
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: world in order to spread their lives, that convinced the

39
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: American public that we should have a dictatorship, have a

40
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: American oligarchy. Because something, you know, I have to tell

41
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: you my mind has been working overdrive and I have

42
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: not I did not sleep last night at all, Like

43
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I just my brain was just churning, churning, churning, and

44
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: I started to think about something. Hang with me for

45
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: a moment, one of my guilty pleasures, and I know

46
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to embarrass myself and I don't care. I'm

47
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: telling you all. The truth of my guilty pleasures is

48
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: that I hate love watch the Kardashians. Yes, I have

49
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: fueled their multi billion dollar empire because I watch it.

50
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Funny enough, with very much an analyst's mindset, which is like,

51
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 1: how did we get here, like as a society where

52
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: at one time, let's just walk down the path of

53
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: America and how you had these group of religious right

54
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: wing zealots that left the British to flee from persecution

55
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: because they were right wing zealots. They were not looking

56
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: for religious freedom. They were looking to indoctrinate everyone around them.

57
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: So let's just be clear on that they come to

58
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: the United States and create this thing called democracy where

59
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: you were not going to have to serve a king,

60
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: and that there are not based on royal blood, this

61
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: designation of wealth, that we are going to have a

62
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: more equitably just system these coming from the people obviously

63
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: that created the Transatlantic slave trade and used it in

64
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: order to build said country. I digress. But what happened

65
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: was instead of their being and there were still the wealthy, right,

66
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: the Rockefellers and others, right, that were the titans quote

67
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: unquote of industry, But we kind of moved away from

68
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: this idea of these mini fiefdoms and people you know,

69
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: had their own homes and their white picket fence and

70
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, their own backyards and all of these things.

71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: But over the course of time, and I've actually like

72
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: been watching this through the Kardashians. The Kardashians were rich

73
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: when the show started twenty years ago. I don't even

74
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: know how long they've been on the air. It feels

75
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: like forever. They were rich, living in Beverly Hills. One

76
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: parent was an Olympian, the other one was a famed lawyer,

77
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: sending their kids to school in Beverly Hills, private schools,

78
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, doing all these things. But if you go

79
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: back to like the beginning of the show, they were

80
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: regular rich. You have the big house, and you have

81
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: a couple of nice cars, and you throw parties, right,

82
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: But you're like working. They were going out and doing

83
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: speaking and you know, and selling shit and like whatever.

84
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian was organizing friends closets for money and like

85
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: doing things. But because of Reality TV, because of their

86
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: ability to recognize that they were indeed the product. So

87
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: instead of them partnering, which is how they started partnering

88
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: with brands, getting endorsements and then you know, hawking that

89
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: brand stuff, they started to say, wait a minute, why

90
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: am I only taking this piece when it's my celebrity

91
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: that's selling X And so I am now going to

92
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: commodify every aspect of my life from the eyes on

93
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: Instagram to Twitter, to this, that and the other thing

94
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: to the reality TV show And now they are uber rich,

95
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: private planes and staff of fifty rich, multiple nannies, security,

96
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: like the whole nine. They went from this regular idea

97
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: of the quote unquote American dream, which is ascending to prosperity,

98
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: to blowing that shit out of the water to where

99
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: they have created this culture of celebrity worship and commodification

100
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: of brand and image and all of these things. And

101
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: they've done it, whether or not you like it or not.

102
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: In probably one of the most brilliant fashions, which is

103
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: why they are multi billionaires. Now that being said, they

104
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: didn't start from nothing. They started from millions and then

105
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: we're able to parlay that into billions. Right. But they've

106
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: all these celebrities now have created these dynasties where we

107
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: have gone back. We don't have a centralized king, but

108
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: they all have their own dynasties that are being fueled

109
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: by us. We are paying into it. And once these

110
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: people and the industry realized you can control engagement through

111
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: algorithms and all of these things and sell you stuff

112
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: all the fucking time you're being sold to. It is

113
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: like our tension became the ultimate product that has fueled

114
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: this new age of like the Downton Abbey's and the

115
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Bridgeton and all of that fantasy type of thing. But

116
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: it's happened in real life where the rest of us

117
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: our wealth has decreased while the wealthy have become exponentially wealthier.

118
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: So I think about this, folks, and I think about

119
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the position that we're in where twenty years ago, a

120
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: six figure salary should have been able to buy you

121
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: a home, having a six figure salary should have been

122
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: able to buy you a home. Having a six figure

123
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: salary in twenty twenty four means absolutely nothing, but it

124
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: meant everything in two thousand. So because the uber wealthy

125
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: has increased their wealth by such a scale in such

126
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: a short period of time, there was never any trickle

127
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: down that happened. Like we as middle class, working class

128
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: people that get app just got bigger and bigger and bigger.

129
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: It's wild to watch it in real time as you're

130
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: watching these shows and you're sinking to yourself, well, wait

131
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: a minute, what's happened with me over the last twenty

132
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: years and my economic viability? While these people went from

133
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: normal rich to filthy fucking PJ private Jet rich, what

134
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: has happened to the rest of us? Well, corporations have

135
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: bought up mortgages, driving prices through the roof. It has

136
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: become just a known debt to even go to university,

137
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: which you were told that you needed to do. So

138
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: you're already you're told, oh, make six figures, right, but

139
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: you're in order to do that, going into six figures

140
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: worth of debt to then be locked inside of this

141
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: trap of just keeping your head above water. Because I

142
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: was saying to my mom the other day, and I

143
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: promise you. I'm getting back to Peter Tiel and like

144
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: these technocrats is that I don't even think in the

145
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, what we perceived being the quote

146
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: unquote middle class is even the middle class anymore? Like

147
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: I think that for you to be considered middle class,

148
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: you need to be making well into the six figures,

149
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: like not with a one in front of it. And

150
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: that's fucking wild. So we're making more money or working

151
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: to make more money in order to actually have less.

152
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: And so you have these people who are sitting in

153
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: their fiefdoms, in their dynasties that they've created. Elon Musk

154
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,239
Speaker 1: is on the verge of becoming the world's first trillionaire.

155
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: He's the most despicable, disgusting human being, which makes me

156
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: think about higher powers and really like, this is what

157
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: we're this is who we're giving this to, right, Like,

158
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: what's the lesson here that the rest of us are

159
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: supposed to learn, like to be as disgusting, as cunning

160
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: as you know whatever, in order to just get yours?

161
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Like is that the lesson? But you look at these people,

162
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: and because we're grinding so much harder than we did

163
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: twenty years ago to get so much less, and we're

164
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: so exhausted by doing it, but we're being force fed

165
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: that we're not doing enough. You need to grind, hard,

166
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: rise and grind in all of these things. These master

167
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: manipulators who have created the algorithm that have turned our

168
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: lives upside down and make us just center capitalism in

169
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: a way that I don't think that we had really before,

170
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: because it wasn't shoved in our face all the time.

171
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: Of all the things you could have. Even look at

172
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: the people cleaning you watch those cleaning videos on Instagram

173
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: or on TikTok. These people that like have every gadget

174
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: for everything, like the screen cleaner and the ear thing

175
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: cleaner and the bub blah blah blah blah, and they

176
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: have their fridges look like the Wegmans or a Target

177
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: or what have you. And it's like this over consumption. Oh,

178
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: I must have eighty six juice boxes in my fridge

179
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: at all time and they must be aligned just so,

180
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: and I must have this thing, and in a I'm

181
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: not successful unless I have pop up, up, up, up, up,

182
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: up up up. All of those things have just become more.

183
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Everything is more, and so because of that we worship

184
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: wealth and we worship celebrity, and so it doesn't even

185
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: matter that Elon Musk isn't smart, It doesn't matter that

186
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Peter Tiel is a lunatic. It just matters how much

187
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: money they have and people listen to them, because at

188
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, why is Reality TV, Real Housewives, this,

189
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: the Kardashians blah blah, Why are they so successful? Because

190
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: we want a window into what life could possibly be

191
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: if we all won the lottery, and they weaponized that.

192
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: The Republican Party has weaponized that that desire. And so

193
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I think about my parents when they were my age,

194
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: like where they were and what they had, and I

195
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: was having this conversation with my mom and she's just like,

196
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: you can't even compare it because she's like, I made

197
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: so much less than you guys made, but I was

198
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: able to buy a home. I was able to do

199
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: all of these things because interest rates may have been

200
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: at five percent when I bought, but the homes were

201
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty thirty, forty fifty thousand dollars, so it balanced it out.

202
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: But now you're looking at interest rates that are six

203
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: seven percent and homes on average way I grew up

204
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: on average or six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And

205
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: this was a neighborhood that was like middle working class neighborhood. Teachers, doctors, firefighters, nurses,

206
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: some sprinklings of doctors and lawyers, but it was like

207
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: regular people. So you look at this and you look

208
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: at these forces, the Republican forces that lie and tell

209
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: people that the reason why your economic conditions are bad

210
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: is because of Democrats and because of whatever lie that

211
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: they want to tell you. But the thing is is

212
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: that most of us are seeking an answer why am

213
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I struggling so much more than my parents did, but

214
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I make more money? The weaponization of wealth and the

215
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: lies that they're able to tell, and the forces also

216
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: that this collected one percent can hold on to their

217
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: dynasties and then we have no choice but being forced

218
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: to like work for them just to get a little breakoff, right,

219
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: Like it's the serfdom, and it's absolutely wild. But when

220
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: you look at corporate mainstream media and what they're doing

221
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: to ensure that there is a Trump win, When you

222
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: look at Elon Musk and what he's putting on his

223
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: social media to two hundred million followers, when you're looking

224
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: at those that are advocating their responsibility because they just

225
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: want to keep their money. You just realize that, like

226
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: while I say at the end of every show, power

227
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: to the people, and to all the people. Power. The

228
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: people have been slowly robbed of their power and agency

229
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: over the last twenty thirty years. Oh it was cut

230
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: the cord with the TV behind me, cut the cord

231
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: and just get streaming. And then every outlet became streaming.

232
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: So now if you're paying for cable and all of

233
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: these streaming, you're actually paying more than what you were

234
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: paying like ten years ago, because everything has its own

235
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: fucking streaming app. They're coming at us from every direction.

236
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: And I honestly don't know if we ever right size again,

237
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: meaning that the ninety nine percent hold the ninety nine

238
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: percent of wealth. I don't think that we do. I

239
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know if the insatiability of the wealthy is ever tamed,

240
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: because the more that they have, the more that they want.

241
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: I say all that to say that we're already living

242
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: inside of the Hunger Games. We're already living inside of

243
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: this kind of weird, altered reality where this certain set

244
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: gets wealthier and wealthier beyond our wildest dreams and the

245
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: rest of us struggle more and more and more, but

246
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: we're told that we're the problem and not the system

247
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: because a few have been able to succeed. But it

248
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: was like succeeding when if you're running a marathon and

249
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm starting from mile twenty with fresh legs and everybody

250
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: else is starting from mile one, but I win? How

251
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: am I considered the winner? But that is where we

252
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: are in America. And that is what the Republican Party

253
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: is exploiting right now. And I'm refer it's the weaponization

254
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: of wealth and envy and this like insatiable greed that

255
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the wealthy have like they can't ever get enough. And

256
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where it ends, I really don't, but

257
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: it's something that has been keeping me up at night

258
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: and making me wonder about how much does it take

259
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: these days in order to be comfortable. By comfortable, I

260
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: mean that if a bill comes up unexpected, you can

261
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: pay it and it's not you know, there's no sweat

262
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: on your brow, right, that you can have small luxuries

263
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: like vacations and gifts for yourself, like and own a

264
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: whole like what is that number? And I think that

265
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: because the system has been so rigged again Republicans are

266
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: able to exacerbate the pain that we're all feeling because

267
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: it's the pain that they've created. Because I'm decades into

268
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: the workforce and wondering when this is a trickle down

269
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: actually happen, it doesn't, And just you know, honestly, I'll

270
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: close out with this, which is that I poke fun

271
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: at economic and anxiety because I think that it is

272
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: code for racism. But there is actually a shared struggle

273
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: that is happening. But instead of us dealing with that

274
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: shared struggle, we're pitted against one another because of our race,

275
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: because of our immigration status, because of our sexual orientation,

276
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: our gender identity, and we never get to the core

277
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: of the core. So if they can keep us struggling

278
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: over that basic shit, then we don't realize that they're

279
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: robbing us blind. That is it for me today, Dear friends,
