  Speaker 1: I'm gonna run for mayor.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: I'm announcing that I'm running for mayor. Which city should
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I run for mayor? Of Hey, guys, welcome to Personal
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm Joy Taylor. Thanks so much for joining us this week.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: If you haven't already, make sure that you hit subscribe
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and follow us on social at Too Personal Show. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: really wanted to get into something that I'm very passionate
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: about this week, which is voting. You know, we are
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a complex creatures. So last week we talked about dick umbrellas,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and this week we're going to talk about voting because listen,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: what is it? A multi hyphen it. Yeah, I'm a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: multi hyphenit. I've got a lot of things going on.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I've a lot of things I care about. And then
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to get into the fact that we have
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: another reality show, not host, reality show character who is
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: running for a major office in this country and why
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I'm upset with that as well. So the Supreme Court
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ruling this past week had a lot of people upset,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: but it's a very complicated story. Obviously, we know that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: voting and voting law have been under attack. They've been
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a big part of the conversation around politics for a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: while now, just for like base level understanding, I always vote.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Not only do I vote in presidential elections, I very
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: much vote in local elections. The local elections to me
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: are in some ways even more important than the presidential elections,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: because that really actually affects my day to day life.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: How the streets are paved, what kind of police presence
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we're going to have, what they're going to do about
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure, real policy that affects where I live. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I am just a person that very much believes in voting,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: not only from a perspective of it is my opportunity
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to use the power and freedom and privilege that I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have as an American, but in those elections, it also
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is something that I research and take very seriously. And lastly,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's something that my ancestors fought and died and were
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: abused and lynched and thrown out of their homes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And beaten and much worse for the right to do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And so I just think it is disrespectful to them
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to not take part in it. And just that's aside
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: from all the other practical things that I just mentioned.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So let's go back to eighteen sixty five, shall we,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: When the Civil War ended and slavery is abolished. Five
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: years later, eighteen seventy Fifteenth Amendment gives black men the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: constitutional right to vote on paper. That's eighteen seventy, But
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: for about one hundred years nothing changed because Southern states
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: got creative on how they would keep black men from voting.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You have poll taxes, literary tests, literacy tests, grandfather clauses,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: meaning if your grandfather didn't vote, you couldn't vote.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously, if your grandfather was a slave.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He didn't vote, So that kept people out, and then
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of course lots of violent violence and intimidation. Then we
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: go one hundred years later, Bloody Sunday, John Lewis Good Trouble.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Six hundred people march across the Edmund Pettis Bridge peacefully.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: There is state troopers on the other side who beat them.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: On live television.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: John Lewis's sloll has fractured, Amelia Boyd and Robinson has
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: beaten unconscious and left for dead.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And this is all on broadcast television. So President Lyndon B.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Johnson addusses Congress we shall overcome, signs the Voting's Voting
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Rights Acts into law August sixth, nineteen sixty five.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Stay with me. There's still more.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So Black voter registration surges in the South almost overnight
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: because for nearly a century, black Americans couldn't really vote,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: particularly black women. So the Voting Rights Act banned literacy
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: tests and poll taxes, and those were two very primary
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: tools used to keep black people from voting. It created
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: federal oversights, so the federal government could now monitor elections
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: directly in states that had a history of discrimination, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: then pleak preclearance. Southern states had to get federal approval
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: before changing any voting laws or rules, so you couldn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: move the goalpost without permission. Again, keep in mind, it
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: is twenty twenty six. Okay, this just happens in nineteen
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: sixty five. There are plenty of people alive today who
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: were alive then. Okay, so this was not that long
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: ago that they just had to implement at the federal
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: level laws to protect black people's voting rights. Okay, this
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was not that long ago. Nineteen sixty five is twenty
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: twenty six. Do the math. It's not that long ago,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: right this we're not talking about hundreds of years of
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: us having these rights and freedoms, and we're already like
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Oh no, man, unlike either are these unlikey these politicians.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't really feel like I need to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: vote because they don't really stand for me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Like do they represent me?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So Section two made it illegal to draw voting districts
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in a way that deluded black voting power.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That is what's at the center of this twenty twenty
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: six ruling.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So this brings us to Louisiana, which has six congressional seats.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Now listen, I know I've already lost all the smooth brains.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: So if you're still with me, I know this is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: very complicated. I very much encourage everyone to read one
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: page of one book, do some research, actual research on
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: this yourself. Read the part with the big words. This
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is all very important.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: That means six people go to Washington to vote on
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: federal law on behalf of the state. The president does
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: not make all of the decisions for your state. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: people that represent you at a state level to not
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: make all the decisions for you. At the city level.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The people at the city level are very important. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: then you have mayors within the city as well. All
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: of this is government structure. This is how the whole
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: system works, right, Black people make up thirty three percent
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of louis Louisiana's population. Stay with me, It doesn't matter
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: if you live in Louisiana. This is important. This is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: why a Supreme Court matters, which why they have seats.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: For the rest of their fucking life. I don't understand either.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: While we're on the topic, the fuck do you mean
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you just on Supreme Court forever? That fuck has been
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: sitting on the Supreme Court, just Uncle fucking Tom for decades,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: ruining our fucking lives.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know who I'm talking about.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Louisiana drew a new map connecting black communities across Baton, Rouge, Lafayette,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and Shreveport into a second district so that they could
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: have representation at the federal level with congressional seats that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: properly represented the black people in Louisiana. So a group
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of white voters sued, arguing that drawing a district specifically
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to protect black voting power was itself racial dimstrctation because
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: for years Louisiana only drew one black majority district, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: black voters sued under the VRA Arguing Voting Rights Act,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: arguing that their voting power was being deliberately diluted in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a federal court agreed with them. So then the white
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: people used the same thing to go back and sue.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Think about this, White people are so afraid of your
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: vote that they sued to take using the same same
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: logic right that allows black voters to have a voice.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Sued saying that drawing a district that includes black voters
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is discrimination, and on April twenty nine, twenty six, Supreme
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Court agree with them six to three. So now it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: racist to include black people. It's racist against white people
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: who created this system, who built the system and then
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: upheld institutions that kept black people from voting. So yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the president had to make it law that you couldn't discriminate,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and then they use the law to discriminate back on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: black voters.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: That's what just happened.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I know that was very complicated, but I had to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: give you the background on it because honestly, I didn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: understand the background on it. I didn't fully understand why
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: this mattered so much. So basically, now you can draw
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: up county lines, you can draw up districts that completely
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: discriminate against the black vote, and there is no legal
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: recourse for black voters to go to the federal level
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and sue or protest it, because they are saying that
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: if you include, if you purposefully include black voters, that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: is racially racial discrimination against white people. Voting is so
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: fucking important to me. It is a hill I will
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely die on for multiple reasons, as I outlined earlier.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But while we're on the topic of it, there's so
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: many places around the world where you can't vote. There's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: so many places around the world where you don't have.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: A voice at all. You have no say in what
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the government does.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You have no ability to go outside and make a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: sign and say fuck Donald Trump. The consequences are way
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: too dire. You are choosing between life and death in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: order to do that. There are places around the world
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: where women have absolutely no rights at all. They are
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: currently living in Gilead. They are currently living in a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: place where they their voices cannot be heard outside of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: their home, they cannot show a piece of their skin,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: their hands can't see the sun.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The world is not.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: The same everywhere, and that seems like a very obvious statement,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but I really do feel like people forget this has
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: been what sixty years, and we're already at a place
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: where I have real conversations with people that I have
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: respect for who are saying that they don't vote because
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I don't. I can't.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I can't make that compute. You're never going to have
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a perfect candidate.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: You know how.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: You don't have a perfect partner or perfect best friends,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: or a perfect child, or a perfect job or perfect
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: hair color okay, or perfect week.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Nothing is perfect.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: You're not going to fall find a politician that you
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: agree with on every single policy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That is not how it works.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Find someone who agrees with the core policies you agree with,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: or who is running on something with an actual plan,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: not just a campaign promise, who can articulate using a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: language that you process for what they're going to do,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and vote for that person.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Not exercising your right to vote is.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: First of all, it's a slap in the face to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: everyone who ever suffered for your right to vote. That
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: includes feminists, That includes people who fought for civil rights,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: That includes people who fought in the Civil War. Like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: don't get me fucking started, You're you're pissing in all
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: their faces. As far as I'm concerned. If you don't
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: like it, take it up with your mama. I don't
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: give a fuck. You're disrespecting all of them one. Two,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you're disrespecting anybody who lives anywhere in the world who
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't have that freedom. And three, you are completely throwing
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: out your right to have a voice. Now you can
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: protest if you're like, my vote, my vote, My voice
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: is that I won't vote.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That is your choice.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Just don't fucking complain about anything. Don't complain about a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: goddamn thing. You can't complain that the person that you
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: didn't vote for is doing what you don't like.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: That is not how it works.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: So once again we are faced with not everyone, obviously
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: just the residents of Los Angeles. But I wanted to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: bring it from the federal level to now the local
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: lover for where I live. But I think this is
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: a reflection on everything that we're dealing with. Is a society.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Spencer fucking Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and just last week I was like, you know what,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about it. The people of Los Angeles
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: aren't that stupid, And then like just a few days later,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the poll numbers are reflecting that, actually, the people of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles are really fucking dumb. And I don't care
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: what you think about Spencer Pratt, and I have plenty
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of personal I don't know him, but I have plenty
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of personal opinions based on how he has lived his
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: life up until this point about who he might be.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: But that aside whether he's a good person or a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: bad person, or a smart person or a kind person,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know none of that shit. What I do
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: know is he's not a fucking politician. He's not a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: government official. He's not a public servant.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And the same.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Conversation that I had with people who I thought were
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: intelligent about Donald Trump the first time that he ran
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: for office is the same conversation in the same playbook
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that they are using for Spencer prop.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Which is, we need something different.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: No, we do not need something different, because the system
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: is not different. The system has not changed. The system
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: is exactly the same. We don't need something different, we
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: need something better. Spencer Pratt is not better. So not
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: only is he not qualified, not only is he not
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: intending on serving the people of Los Angeles, which is
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: your fucking job as a government's elected official you are
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you have so not a.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Single drop of a plan for anything.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Now, any of you who follow me in any space,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you know how I feel and what my what my
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: passion for people who are suffering from homelessness is. It
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: is a big part of my platform. I have a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: nonprofit foundation that works with homelessness. I am on the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: board of multiple organizations that work in that space.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's very important to me. It is not a simple subject.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It is not something that I take lightly, and it
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: is not something that I think is solvable overnight. However,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I am fully aware of the impact that the homeless
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: situation has on the city of Los Angeles, because I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: fucking live here, and I'm aware of how it affects
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of communities around the country.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Propping up the homeless to run for office is despicable
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: It's despicable because unless you are immediately following up any
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: mention of homelessness in Los Angeles with an action item
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: plan for how you are going to fix this as
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a politician you're gonna get in office and you're gonna
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: do this, this, and this, then you are just using
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the homeless as a prop He posted a video of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a woman who was in water I think was a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: fire truck or something running off. Clearly this person is
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: having is living on the street having a mental breakdown. Honestly,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if it was Ai at this
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: point because I can't keep track of this fucking bullshit.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: But the point is he put that video up as
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: an example of someone that's going through something and said,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: this is Karen Basura's Los Angeles.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, are you Latino? Do you speak Spanish?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Does someone want to ask him, because I don't know
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: how you co opted a language. I'm assuming you don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: speak I've never seen him speak Spanish, So he's completely
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: copying the Trump playbook on making up nicknames for your opponent.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Calling a black woman trash also is just never going
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to stand well with me personally. But beyond all of that,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: dehumanizing someone who is suffering from homelessness to make an
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: example of what your political opponent has failed at, whilst
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: not providing a single line item of a plan for
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: how you are going to do anything to fix all
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: these quote unquote problems in the city of Los Angeles,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is a director of of how much we have lost
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the plot. Unqualified people do not deserve platforms. Unqualified people
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: do not deserve to be serving in public office.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: If there is a system in place.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Like our United States government, you should be moving up
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: through the ranks appropriately. I'm not going to a doctor
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: who didn't go to medical school.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, I am.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Not going to go to someone who has no qualifications whatsoever,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: with no peer study, nothing, you have no resume. When
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I have to do all that I have to do
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: as a black woman to get a phone call, let
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: alone actually be in the media business for twenty fucking years,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: If you want to start a podcast, have at it, hoss,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: get it, get you.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: A little camera, and do your a little bit.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: But if you want to run one of the largest cities,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: one of the most important cities in the world for
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that matter, one of the largest cities in America, one
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of the most populated cities in America, one of the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: most influential cities in America, a city that whose policy
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and actions actually affect most of the rest of the country,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: be fucking qualified to do it. And if you're not qualified,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: show me why you should. Okay, cool, you're different you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: coming from a different space. Great, I got a big brain,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I can listen, I'm fluent. Explain to me what the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: plan is. And I just feel like we are just
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: in this place where we're inundated with information, We're constantly
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: being we're constantly battling fake shit and is this real?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And where does this come from?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And this person doesn't have any qualifications, this person's this,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and like, shut the fucking noise off.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, read a page of
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a book.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You have a responsibility as an adult in the United
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: States of America, as a citizen, and as somebody who
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: every single person is country at this point, is aware
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that we are living in some fucked up times. You
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: can't afford groceries, you can't afford gas, airlines are shutting down.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: We're at a fucking war for no reason at all.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We've spent more money on this fake war that he
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: promised everyone we weren't going to be in. With the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: money that we've spent on this war, we could have
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: funded healthcare, we could have funded free college for everyone.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We could be a we could be a.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Country that actually reflects the things that we say we do,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And instead we're at a bullshit work.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Do you know why.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: My guess is that there were a couple government contract
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: people that wanted to run it up real quick on
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a couple.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Tanks might be part of it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Somebody's making some money and it ain't you. So at
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, I'm not really
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: talking to black women because black women always vote.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We go on bout, honey, we gonna, we're gonna.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get our little little soft comfy shoes on
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: in a water bottle and stand out there with our
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: umbrella and sunscreen or whatever the fuck snacks okay in
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: our audiobook, and we're gonna stand a fucking line and
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we're gonna vote. We're going to do that. The numbers
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: always reflect that, so I'm not even really talking to us.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Although if you are one of those black women out
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: there who's like, I don't vote, give me a fucking break, Like, bitch,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: get it together.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: You? You are the absolute lowest on the totem pole
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: in society in this country. The least you can fucking
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: do is vote for someone that did you kind of like,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: find something you like about somebody and vote. But for
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: everybody else get it fucking together. We're constantly talking about
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: how can we change anything, how can we make a difference, how.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Can we stop this? How can we do?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Don't do?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: What the fuck they're trying to get you to do.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They're trying to get you to be apathetic, right, They're
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: trying to get you do not care, and it's working,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it's working.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: How could you have the fucking DA city to run
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: for mayor of Los Angeles? I'm gonna run for mayor.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I'm announcing that I'm running for mayor. Which city should
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I run for mayor of? Because at this point it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't fucking matter. You don't you have, You could have
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: no fucking idea what you're doing, and if you have
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a good media strategy and you're insulting enough, you could win.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I'm the meanest bit you know. I promise on God
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: on God, if I want to hurt your feelings, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: will break your fucking heart. Please put me on a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: fucking politicals who don't need a debate. This is crazy.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I am limiting myself because I have too much pride
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and self awareness to want to take a position. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: won't even take a fucking television job that I feel
• 20:38

• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What if y'all write a run it back with the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: what the fuck did he say?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I have an idea of a plan. I have a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: concept of a plan. Yeah I don't.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: That don't work for me. I need a plan plan.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I need a deck Canva excellent program. Okay, they have
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: slides prepared for you. Type the information into the slides,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: send it over. Okay, you don't even have to put
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: in a pdf. Just a little link, little shareable link. Okay,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: there's many ways to get this information out. I haven't
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: heard a plan, and I'm tired of talking about something different.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about something. It's better qualifications.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: If you are in charge of a city, if you
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: are in charge of a country, it is your duty
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: to represent the people. Le people, okay, mihinte the people.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about what you want to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: do for you. I don't care about a revenge plot.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: What the fuck do I care about someone else's revenge?
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: What does that have to do with me? I don't
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: give a fuck about what you're mad about. What are
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: we mad about? Fix what we're mad about. You're representing us. Servants, servants,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: serve servants. Look up the motherfucking word. You are here
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to serve us. If you are an elected official, you
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: serve the people. You work for us. But work isn't
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: strong enough. You serve us. You are a public servents,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: get it right. You're not getting elected to serve yourself.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And the reason that this whole system is so fucked
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: up is because everyone has become fanboys. Everyone's gargling on
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: each other's balls about what the fuck their favorite fucking
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: politician is. You know what, My favorite fucking politician is
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the one that it does their goddamn job, because that's what.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: My taxes go for. And I can promise you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I pay a lot of them bitches, every single one
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of them little pennies.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: That adds up to a whole fucking lot.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Better go to a politician that does the fucking job
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: for the greater good of society as they were elected
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Serve me. I don't give a fuck about a fanboy.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I don't give a.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Fuck about this my favorite president or this my favorite poem.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is a favorite politician?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Girl?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I got a favorite author, I got a favorite musician. Okay,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I got a favorite band. I got a favorite fucking
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: type of shoe. Politician, the fuck did you do for
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: me today? That's my favorite thing. You guys are all
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: such groupies. Oh I'm gonna wear this shirt. Oh I'm this,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'm a conservative, I'm maga, I'm a fucking Republican.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Blah blah. Who what are you talking about?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: You sound like a motherfucking Jonas brother fan. My guy,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you sound like a believer. If you want to suck
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: his dick, just say that. What you don't give a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: fuck about is if your groceries are cheaper, you want
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to be a partsoning because you're a fucking lame and
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: that's the reality.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Of it. Get your shit together.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And I want to be so clear. Black women already vote,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: so I'm not even this. You already know the species
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: them for us. I already know what my sisters are doing, voting, voting.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I only what do you mean we have to do
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a fucking campaign to get you to register to vote?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: What it takes five minutes and then you're registered.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And then when you change your address, you just change,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: like when you do the change of address worm online
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: for your mail.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They it just changes it for you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: If you have two brain cells that do the little
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: spark thing and communicate with each other, you should be
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: registered to vote. You should be participating in this. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: my final note is white girls. Okay, this is to
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: the white women.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: It may be a scientific fact we haven't done enough
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: research that you may have been born without a backbone,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and that might not be your fault, but I have
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: my suspicions because you have been carrying the patriarchy on
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: your back for quite some time, so it's got to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: be some structure in there. So what I would like
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: for you to do is just like snap out of it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Stop trying to run to be the first in line
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to be oppressed, okay, and make the fucking move. Tell
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: your girlfriend to stop worrying about like raw milk and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: votes for something that is in her best interests, not
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: in her husband's best interests. Okay, in her best interest,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: not in her boyfriend her best interest, Like her as
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: a human being, how she is going to live her life,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the rights that she's gonna have, her ability to leave
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: if her husband decides to wake up and beet theff
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: person the next day, and.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So on and so forth. Not even women's issues. Okay.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: White women have done such a strategically excellent job at
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: holding up a system that completely oppresses them and throws
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: them out the moment that they're done using them, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: yet they continue to line up and do the same thing.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It is so fascinating to me.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Now, I could go down the list on all the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: other demographics, and I've got a lot of time on
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: this podcast for the rest of the year, so definitely
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit all of you, okay, because we haven't
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: even gotten to my people in Miami yet. But for
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: for the purpose of this rant, please, like I'm begging you,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: when the time comes and it is approaching and the
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: propaganda start going to start rolling out heavy.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: They've already been working on it on the trad wife.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I love the how much propaganda did it take to
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: get you to want to go to work instead of
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: standing around barefoot in the kitchen? Please, okay there were
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: giants whose shoulders we stand on. Please snap the fuck
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: out of it. We're so close. We're in this strategically
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: amazing alignment time in the universe. Like all of my
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: friends and people who are tapped into like that kind
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: of space, that sort of like you know, universal alignment space,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and they actually know they're talking about, like this is
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the time. All right, empires fall, things change, huge shifts
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: happen in human history, and we are at that time.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: We are we are reaching that point. We're so we're teetering.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: We're like right there, like you can smell it. There's
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: this there's this tingly energy in the air where everyone's
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: like I'm going crazy, Like, yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: You are.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: We have reached the peak of what we can handle
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: from technology. We cannot handle any more stress. We're all medicated,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: we're all freaking the fuck out. We all like go
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: outside and laying grass. We're like, oh my god, still
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: so good, Like yeah, that's what you're supposed to do.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: We're not supposed to be sitting in cubicles with these
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: fluorescent lights over our heads all day. They're supposed to
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: be some balance. Okay, we're so close.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: We're so fucking close.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: These old, decrepit, horrible, evil, fucking men are so close
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to dying.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Like, they're so fucking close. We could just if we
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: could just push, we just push.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: One more hamburger in their fucking face, they would just
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: leave us, all right, and we could take the power
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: away from them before they put all these laws in
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: place to ruin the rest of society for the next
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: hundred years.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: We could do it. We still have those rights.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They are actively Supreme Court level trying to take them away,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and they're doing a really good job.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're doing a good job.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Right If we can get that fuck Clarence Thomas out
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of there, when is he gonna die? God damn, they're
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: gonna die soon. Okay, they're gonna die eventually. And when
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: they die, which is our only hope at this point,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: we can create a society where people can live functionally,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: We can hold people accountable, we can tax reasonably and
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: live in the world that we claim that we already
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: live in which we don't, and that's not going to
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: happen if we continue to just hand over power to
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: people because they have good campaign strategies or mean campaign strategies.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Should say so, please go vote.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: That's what I got for today. All right, it's time
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: for Never Too Personal.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of the show,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: email us Too Personal Podcasts at gmail dot com, or
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: you can dm us at Too Personal Show on any
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: of our platforms, and on Sunday we place a little
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: prompt so you can put it in there as well.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: So this one's pretty interesting. I have this conversation a
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: lot with my family. What is your generational curse? This
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: is easy avoidance? Ooh ooh. A family loves to avoid
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: a conversation. I did not understand it. I don't listen.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: We all procrastinate on things, we all get anxiety, we
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: all put the tough conversations off avoid being uncomfortable.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Nobody likes that, right.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: A person who seeks out confrontation is not someone anyone
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: really wants to have conversations with anyway.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: But avoidance is a terrible curse.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Avoidance is one of those things where it is an
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: inevitable outcome right like the ship is coming into harbor,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do about it. What you could
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: do is have a conversation to less than the blow,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: to give your side of the story, to provide context
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: for people who are going to want it, to clear
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the air, to prepare things. It's like, not like having
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: kids and having property and businesses and not having a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: will or estate.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Do you think you're not gonna die unless you're Clarence
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Thomas or Donald Trump? Why would you not do that?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Like all of us are one day not going to
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: be here. And when you don't do something to prepare
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the people in your life for something that is inevitable,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: you are leaving them with all sorts of chaos, with
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: all sorts of extra trauma, paperwork, people arguing over money,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: who gets this property, who gets that?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: How do they want to be buried? What kind of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: funeral would they want to have?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're in the hospital and the ICU and they're
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: on life support.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You they want to be taken off.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: All of these decisions and all this extra trouble could
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: be avoided with two hours on zoom with a lawyer
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: like you did. All that to get the property. You
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: did all that to build your businesses up. You have
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a family, and you're avoid you're just practicing avoidance. Now
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: that's like a thing. A lot of people deal with
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: avoiding that conversation. I have one because my money manager
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, this is we're not asking you. You
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: need to get you have to get this done, Like
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: we're not going to do this work for you anymore
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: if you don't get this done. So I got it done,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and now it's now, it's it's great and everyone knows.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I want to be buried in a tree. I want
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: to be cremated and buried in a tree.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I want to party. I do not want a funeral.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I want a party, okay, party. I want music, okay,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: preferably old school. I like some good eats. Obviously there
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: has to be a bar. Feel free to smoke or
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: do mushrooms if you like, if that's your bag or not.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I don't discriminate against those who don't partake anymore either.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: You can have a mic with a timer. Don't be
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: up there given a ten minute speech. You didn't know
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: me better than anybody else did, Okay that and just
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: have a day and get out of there. All right,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: We don't, we don't need to. We don't have a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: pine over this too much.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Have a shot. When you think of me and you're
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: in Brazil, I.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: That's what I want, right, whatever it is that you want,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: just get it done. But like, that's I'm talking about
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: that on a morbid scale. There's so many different ways
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: that people practice avoidance and it is.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Maddening to me.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: And I took it upon myself as someone who who
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: absolutely had this curse, to do the work to push
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: through it. Now, maybe I overcorrected. Maybe I'm a little
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: too upfront. Everyone always comes to me to solve the problems,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm happy to tell them this is not my
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: fucking problem, and I am not having the conversation for you.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Have the conversation yourself. The amount of times of people
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: comes to me like, wow, this is what happened, Like
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: you think you could talk to them? No, I mean
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I could. I know I could talk to them, but
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: then I'm in the middle of your shit.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Just have the conversation.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Normal conversations, scary conversations, uncomfortable conversations, weird conversations, awkward conversations,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: conversations about money, conversations about childbirth, conversations about your will
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you have to have these conversations, and yeah, it is.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's a thing. It's a societal and cultural thing
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: for sure. To not talk about the problems that are
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: going on, Nope, you know you keep keep the problems
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: in the house. Everybody don't don't need to know your business, no,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: da da da. That thing has been drilled into a
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: lot of people in a lot of different cultural ways.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: And I get that. And I'm not saying you need
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to spreay your business on the internet, okay, like a
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: raccoon piss, but you do need to address things that
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: are inevitable, things that are going to make your life healthier,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: your relationships healthier, to avoid trauma for other people. And listen,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I will not be a hypocrite that I am in
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: no way perfect at this.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I struggle with it still. That's why it's a curse.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I actively have to work through it.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I have to talk to myself before I have conversations
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: that I don't really want to have. I have to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: prepare myself. I'm a big shower talker. If you catch
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: me in the shower, I'm going to be battling to myself.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I do this so much that I forget other people
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: are around that I'm talking to myself. I was doing
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: that this weekend. I was just having a conversation with myself,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, not a little sorry, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: do this a lot, just stuck myself.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Do it if that's what you gotta do.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, avoidance, Oh my god, uh, I hate it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: And it's all because I'm always invited to the cleanup.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I'm so rarely invited to the party. You don't want
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: my opinion, you don't want my strategy, you don't want
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: my help. But then as soon as everything fucking blows up, then, oh,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you know who, be useful, joy joy, be useful now
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: that everything's fucked up, Because nobody could have a conversation
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: with each other.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know a lot of families.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Have different things they struggle with, and this is by
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: all means not the only thing, but it is always
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: a thing that comes to the top of mind when
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: we have the generational curse conversation, like whoo, stop avoiding shit?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: It really makes a big difference. I would love to
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: know what other people's generational What does your family's generational Chursey.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Like number one.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I know, we got a lot, but like number one,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: every family has like a.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Good ten to fifteen. But it's like, oh my god,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: but you know what.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Sacrecy Okay, So that's a little different than avoidance because
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: avoidance is everyone kind of knows what's going on, but
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to talk about it. Secrecy is something else entirely. Yeah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: secrecy is tough. I mean yeah, but there's there's a lot,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Like there's uh, you know, a lot some families just
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: struggle with substance abuse, Like lots of people and their
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: family just have substance abuse, and like it just runs
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: in the family and it rips the family apart. Like
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: there's money problems for some people are the number one thing.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Like there's so many different ways that people get self sacrifice,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: like overly self sacrificing. Oh yeah, girl bossing too hard.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: You know what, We're gonna do a rant on the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: girl Boss. We're gonna do a rant on girl bossing
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: because girl bossing is under attack and and I get it,
