So today, I’m putting my money 1777 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,433 today, I’m putting my money where my mouth is, I often talk 1778 01:01:28,433 --> 01:01:30,035 where my mouth is, I often talk about economic security and 1779 01:01:30,035 --> 01:01:31,867 about economic security and financial freedom that I am 1780 01:01:31,867 --> 01:01:33,534 financial freedom that I am awarding at least two 1781 01:01:33,534 --> 01:01:35,000 awarding at least two individuals or families The 1782 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,800 individuals or families The freedom Grant. 1783 01:01:40,367 --> 01:01:42,000 And I encourage people to get 1784 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,434 And I encourage people to get out and talk to people and 1785 01:01:43,434 --> 01:01:44,167 out and talk to people and actually see what’s happening 1786 01:01:44,167 --> 01:01:46,201 actually see what’s happening out there and don’t just go by 1787 01:01:46,201 --> 01:01:48,201 out there and don’t just go by what you’re seeing on the 1788 01:01:48,201 --> 01:01:49,701 what you’re seeing on the media. The time for change is 1789 01:01:49,701 --> 01:01:52,500 media. The time for change is now and we do that by electing 1790 01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:54,035 now and we do that by electing a woman like you who wants good 1791 01:01:54,035 --> 01:01:55,535 a woman like you who wants good things and to live a good life 1792 01:01:55,535 --> 01:01:57,767 things and to live a good life and to see people truly thrive 1793 01:01:57,767 --> 01:02:00,464 and to see people truly thrive instead of meeting it with um 1794 01:02:00,464 --> 01:02:02,031 instead of meeting it with um head on with anger or 1795 01:02:02,031 --> 01:02:03,598 head on with anger or aggression back because hate 1796 01:02:03,598 --> 01:02:05,298 aggression back because hate just feeds more hate. However, 1797 01:02:05,298 --> 01:02:07,364 just feeds more hate. However, we always we have to address 1798 01:02:07,364 --> 01:02:08,898 we always we have to address the systemic racism, which is 1799 01:02:08,898 --> 01:02:10,733 the systemic racism, which is deeply rooted within our 1800 01:02:10,733 --> 01:02:13,432 deeply rooted within our cultures when people are. They 1801 01:02:13,432 --> 01:02:14,699 cultures when people are. They react with aggression, they 1802 01:02:14,699 --> 01:02:16,333 react with aggression, they feel like they’re in a bad 1803 01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:17,667 feel like they’re in a bad place and they can it’s fight 1804 01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:19,699 place and they can it’s fight or flight. So that’s a 1805 01:02:19,699 --> 01:02:21,399 or flight. So that’s a brilliant answer. What what is 1806 01:02:21,399 --> 01:02:24,465 brilliant answer. What what is the fear of largely of change? 1807 01:02:24,465 --> 01:02:26,033 the fear of largely of change? I mean there’s a give and take 1808 01:02:26,033 --> 01:02:28,066 I mean there’s a give and take to living in rural communities, 1809 01:02:28,066 --> 01:02:29,466 to living in rural communities, but there has to be a basic 1810 01:02:29,466 --> 01:02:31,766 but there has to be a basic level of dignity for people to 1811 01:02:31,766 --> 01:02:32,599 level of dignity for people to survive off of it’s about black 1812 01:02:32,599 --> 01:02:34,033 survive off of it’s about black lives matter This is about a 1813 01:02:34,033 --> 01:02:36,199 lives matter This is about a long systematic problem that 1814 01:02:36,199 --> 01:02:38,066 long systematic problem that has been ingrained through all 1815 01:02:38,066 --> 01:02:40,566 has been ingrained through all of the processes of our current 1816 01:02:40,566 --> 01:02:43,500 of the processes of our current society. It’s been. A vicious 1817 01:02:43,500 --> 01:02:45,666 society. It’s been. A vicious cycle that is just right now 1818 01:02:45,666 --> 01:02:47,566 cycle that is just right now coming to this tipping point 1819 01:02:47,566 --> 01:02:49,633 coming to this tipping point right, so what we’ve seen 1820 01:02:49,633 --> 01:02:51,433 right, so what we’ve seen traditionally is they keep 1821 01:02:51,433 --> 01:02:53,233 traditionally is they keep cutting the budget for 1822 01:02:53,233 --> 01:02:54,766 cutting the budget for education and it would seem 1823 01:02:54,766 --> 01:02:57,433 education and it would seem that everybody would understand 1824 01:02:57,433 --> 01:02:58,399 that everybody would understand that as a society as a whole, 1825 01:02:58,399 --> 01:02:59,833 that as a society as a whole, we would be better off with a 1826 01:02:59,833 --> 01:03:01,333 we would be better off with a better education and that 1827 01:03:01,333 --> 01:03:02,867 better education and that starts with the elementary 1828 01:03:02,867 --> 01:03:03,601 starts with the elementary school and middle school and 1829 01:03:03,601 --> 01:03:05,401 school and middle school and high school. It’s not just all 1830 01:03:05,401 --> 01:03:06,034 high school. It’s not just all about college. It needs to 1831 01:03:06,034 --> 01:03:07,668 about college. It needs to start at a younger years, and 1832 01:03:07,668 --> 01:03:08,734 start at a younger years, and that means we need to support 1833 01:03:08,734 --> 01:03:11,001 that means we need to support our schools and our teachers. 1834 01:03:11,001 --> 01:03:14,933 our schools and our teachers. I’m highly driven by data and 1835 01:03:14,933 --> 01:03:15,535 I’m highly driven by data and information and facts and 1836 01:03:15,535 --> 01:03:18,867 information and facts and looking for new solutions. 1837 01:03:18,867 --> 01:03:20,167 looking for new solutions.

It’s a corruption problem. We 1952 01:06:51,233 --> 01:06:52,499 It’s a corruption problem. We are at a point in history right 1953 01:06:52,499 --> 01:06:54,299 are at a point in history right now where if we don’t make 1954 01:06:54,299 --> 01:06:55,866 now where if we don’t make changes in the next 10 years, 1955 01:06:55,866 --> 01:06:56,499 changes in the next 10 years, our children and our 1956 01:06:56,499 --> 01:06:57,933 our children and our grandchildren are gonna have a 1957 01:06:57,933 --> 01:06:59,499 grandchildren are gonna have a very difficult time managing 1958 01:06:59,499 --> 01:07:02,067 very difficult time managing the economy.

One of the 1963 01:07:10,034 --> 01:07:11,534 money to save them. One of the things I think that needs to 1964 01:07:11,534 --> 01:07:13,367 things I think that needs to have happen is we need to 1965 01:07:13,367 --> 01:07:15,066 have happen is we need to remove money from the process 1966 01:07:15,066 --> 01:07:17,567 remove money from the process of getting people elected it 1967 01:07:17,567 --> 01:07:18,067 of getting people elected it decreases the influence of 1968 01:07:18,067 --> 01:07:19,267 decreases the influence of lobbyists because sometimes 1969 01:07:19,267 --> 01:07:20,601 lobbyists because sometimes doing the right thing causes 1970 01:07:20,601 --> 01:07:22,701 doing the right thing causes disruption in our society in 1971 01:07:22,701 --> 01:07:23,801 disruption in our society in order to be able to do that, we 1972 01:07:23,801 --> 01:07:24,601 order to be able to do that, we have to have people that are 1973 01:07:24,601 --> 01:07:25,734 have to have people that are willing to think about the big 1974 01:07:25,734 --> 01:07:26,534 willing to think about the big picture. One of the things 1975 01:07:26,534 --> 01:07:27,368 picture. One of the things that’s happened with 1976 01:07:27,368 --> 01:07:27,901 that’s happened with gerrymandering and voter 1977 01:07:27,901 --> 01:07:29,501 gerrymandering and voter suppression is we don’t have 1978 01:07:29,501 --> 01:07:31,233 suppression is we don’t have people who are voting and 1979 01:07:31,233 --> 01:07:32,234 people who are voting and feeling like their rights 1980 01:07:32,234 --> 01:07:33,734 feeling like their rights matter and we end up electing 1981 01:07:33,734 --> 01:07:35,367 matter and we end up electing people that are basically 1982 01:07:35,367 --> 01:07:36,533 people that are basically taking care of their donors 1983 01:07:36,533 --> 01:07:37,667 taking care of their donors versus taking care of their 1984 01:07:37,667 --> 01:07:38,801 versus taking care of their constituents. I believe that 1985 01:07:38,801 --> 01:07:40,667 constituents. I believe that government. Can be efficient 1986 01:07:40,667 --> 01:07:42,333 government. Can be efficient and can be effective cuz it’s 1987 01:07:42,333 --> 01:07:43,634 and can be effective cuz it’s just an organization like any 1988 01:07:43,634 --> 01:07:44,901 just an organization like any other organization that we 1989 01:07:44,901 --> 01:07:46,801 other organization that we invest in it to make sure it 1990 01:07:46,801 --> 01:07:47,601 invest in it to make sure it can actually do what it’s 1991 01:07:47,601 --> 01:07:49,269 can actually do what it’s supposed to do. We’ll get a 1992 01:07:49,269 --> 01:07:50,668 supposed to do.
