Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ah, well, good evening everyone, and welcome me and broad Awakening.

(01:24):
Let me introduce Okay, first of all, when I was
in high school, I did a musical called The Music Man, which,
if you should all be aware of the music, Robert
Preston and what's your name? Missus Partridge was in it,
and Shirley Jones was in it, and so we did

(01:45):
it as Hello. Jonathan did it as our Height, one
of our high school plays. And you know, I've been
in theater forever, like since I don't know. It's knee
hid to a Grasshopper, and my favorite song from the
show was you know, you know, I've got a yard
full of chickens and mother hens that are bringing all

(02:05):
of their babies here to eat, and we're going through
twenty five pounds of CBB because they're the neighbor Everything
collapsed and now they're all free ranging all over the
neighborhood and they hear because I'm the lady in the
purple robe. Hi, Kendra, Oh Kendra, Oh honey, that's a
great picture. Oh my god, up again, Kendra. You're going

(02:29):
to be in our next group chat. By the way,
I didn't know if you had to work tonight. Or
not so, but you'll be on our next one. And
so one of my favorite pieces of music from the
music Man was the song where all the women folks
in town get together and they're having a hen party
and it's called uh pick a little talk, a little

(02:49):
pick a little talk, a little cheep cheep cheep, tuk
a lot, pick a little more. And that's the song.
I mean, yeah, as fast as our musical director made
us sing that song, I mean I don't know how
we were all tongue tied and all twisted up, but
all these years later, decades later, I still remember that.

(03:11):
So tonight is our head party. Also the legal group
chat that's not on signal, and we're just we're gonna
tear it up. And let me introduce the other Annie,
my my star sister. Annie Russell is with us. Dana Stricker,
Oh my god, Dana. You know I don't even have

(03:33):
to say, oh my god, Lenny my sister, all capitals
A sister, Ali, my my heart, Nancy Anderson, I fall
at your feet, I do you and last are are
the like of our lives. And we're so thrilling to

(03:53):
have you here for the weekend, so thrilling and deb Daruss,
Oh my god. Another And you know, Jamila, the goddess
is this is goddess power going on. Amen, this is
Goddess power, and this is make no mistake about it.
This is the rise of the sacred feminine energy on earth.

(04:19):
It is and we are it. And so we gather
together tonight to talk it out, to share our feelings,
our concerns, our dismay, what pleasures us, what brings us hope,
what grieves our souls, anything and everything. And Jamila, before

(04:42):
I want to go around and let everybody make kind
of an opening statement. And you and I had a
very very important conversation the other day, and I want
to give you this opportunity and give you the floor
to express yourself to this that you want to. That's,

(05:03):
you know, beyond what our private conversation was. I want
you to speak your truth from your heart.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
First of all.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Hi.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, uh, this is a little different because it comes.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Am I getting to echo?

Speaker 5 (05:21):
I'm sorry, I with things going on, hold on, I
think I'm getting to echo.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know how to.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Is this better? Is it better?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Perfect, Okay.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
So when we were talking, it came up that, you know,
with everything that is happening and the dog whistles that
have been thrown out, and one of the biggest ones
recently is d de I Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which
is just another dog whistle right now, and it's.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It hurts because unfortunately.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
We are in our group and I found such a
community that I jive with.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
I've met all of you almost you know, and the community.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
That we see the light work is.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Back often times.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
If you've ever noticed, I'm the only African American there
number one, So to be welcomed and everybody's like a
sister and a brother.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
To then come home and see these same people.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Say things and repeat things, and they're not right. They're
not just morally wrong, but they're factually wrong. Anybody who
knows me knows I'm not a person. I call these
people the copy and paste crew because they see a meme,
they get something, and because it's long, they want to

(07:01):
copy and paste it and think that it's low without
doing any kind of factual check. So then when you
come to them and you say something out of love
and say hey, you know cause if all of you
have seen my posts, I never come at them calling
them idiots like they do us.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I never belittle anybody.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
I just come with facts, and then to have them
turn on me like that, and it made me think,
right now, they're kicking people out with no due process. Okay,
there was a lady who got turned around at the
Ambassador Bridge and then they detained her for hours upon
hours upon hours because she forgot her license at home

(07:39):
and she made a mistake and got into the lane
to go over to Canada, so they held her. And
I thought about it. The people that say they love me,
the people that actually know me. Everybody who's on this
list are not just people that go to you know,
Mexico or her Duras or things like that.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
They also have Haitians.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
What happens if I'm just somewhere by mistake, Okay, they
yanked me up.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
There's no due process. There's no due process. They don't
have to give me a chance to explain myself. They
don't have to do anything.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
And then now I'm somewhere and nobody knows where I am.
And then when it comes found out, half the people
on my page will go, well, what does she do? Yeah,
she probably deserves to leave, and you know me, but
the fact of it is is that we are in
a place right now where the truth doesn't matter. It's

(08:38):
all about vibes. It's all about you hate who I hate.
It's all about my life. That's bad, So let me
find somebody to blame. It's all about And it walked
up and it broke my heart.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
It broke me.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
I called that, I message Dad, my message Andrea, and
I had to call that out.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I was bump, you know.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
I woke up to and they were erasing my people
from the army websites. They were rolling back civil rights protections.
How am I supposed to feel? I don't belong here anymore?
Are you telling me I'm less than everybody else?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Because I'm not. I don't matter? But then these keyboard
warriors and stuff.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
And this is what I tell people, and everybody hearing me,
I need you to understand this. These people you're talking
to are real people, and you have to see them
and you have to account for them because all these
people that are typing these things. I'm going to see you,
all right. We're gonna be at an event together. We're
gonna do something. And I'm not saying that like physically

(09:42):
violent or anything, but you're gonna want to be a
part of my energy.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
And then when I don't bless you with the energy
that is me.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Okay, you're gonna say, oh, they're being mean and they're
doing no. Baby, I'm giving you what you want because
our hearts are broken.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
My heart is broken. I'm just.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well when I talk to you, I just talked about
it and cry, Honey, I've cried the tears with you.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Have I have?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I cried during our conversation for you because I know,
I know, I mean, I have. I've been the butt
of jokes. I've been. No, don't do not apologize for
being your true soul sister self. Never apologize for being

(10:40):
who you are. You are a bright light in the firmament.
Everyone that is with me tonight is. And remember what
I said to you. I just shared it on Soul
School this last hour, you know, and you said, we're
taking a giant step back. And as soon as you
said that, I saw the Olympics and I saw the

(11:02):
women lined up at the line that we're getting ready
to run one hundred yard dash and that takes the
most strength and the most forward momentum and propulsion of
any of the races. And I said, what do they do, Jamila,
what do they do? They take one giant step back,

(11:22):
they get grounded, they get centered, and then they take
off like a shot.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
That's why I'm here.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
That's end. That exactly, that sentence to you is why
you are here tonight.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Everything in me, y'all ain't gonna lot to you. I
didn't give a flank about nothing.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I was done.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
I'm like, I've been given and given and given in
my love and I'm anybody who's ever met me, this
is me, point blank, period, and I give it freely, willingly.
And then it's just every day, every single to day.
And then to hear people justifying it. I was done.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I was done.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'm like, you know what, I don't need to be here.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
I don't need to be part of this. I don't
need this from you. I don't need this. And then
I thought of y'all.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, and we need you to be here tonight. Nancy
and Allie and Lenny and deb and Annie and Dana.
We are your sisters, we are your tribe. We've got
your back, your front, you're up, you're down, We've got you. Ye.
Don't feel alone, don't for a moment feel alone.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
I don't anymore, but that that was a rough week.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I know it was a rough that was hard, and
you know rough weeks.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Again because I have issues andians and you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
And still you've got us to turn to est. Yes,
absolutely right, Well who wants who wants the floor next?

Speaker 7 (13:05):
I'll just say the reason I'm one of the main
reasons I'm on here, and there's several, trust me, several reasons.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I'm with.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Jamilla.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Come back to me. I know, okay, baby, I know.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
We're grieving. We are morning, we are, we are.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
We're watching a conversion from all that we've ever known
into something so dark and ugly. The whitewashing. It is,
it is, it is, and it's the dei and it's
all the fucking bullshit, the bullshit that is being shoveled

(14:00):
and that we're supposed to tolerate. And everyone's freaking out
because they think their financial future is crumbling before their
eyes because one lunatic who's hanging out to one antiquated
archaic notion that tariffs are going to solve all our problems,

(14:21):
when in fact they are crumbling our country financially. I
totally agree with possibility, but.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
There's these little tiny things is what gets me. Andreas.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Now I'm composed. I had to go first. Thanks a lot.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
It's the little tiny things Anative Americans. Initially, you're not
really hearing a lot about this. I do a lot
of research on this stuff. I do not talk about
it on Facebook normally, but you'll see in my stories.
You watch my stories the last probably two monthsish, what

(15:04):
you're going to be seeing is everybody that they're racing.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
Now, the Native Americans initially were getting threats that they
were now under our law and all these other things.
And I might be saying that wrong for those of
you that I'm not Native American, but it started kind
of with that obviously, and they just they're whitewashing history.

(15:31):
So like I'm sorry, you cannot take Harriet Tubman.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Away, thank you.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
You cannot take any of that history away, because if
you do, you will learn absolutely nothing, and it's.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Obvious some people didn't.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
So what this is, unfortunately, is something that happened back
in the nineteen thirties all over again, all over again.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Almost by the book.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
And I know a lot about that period of time
because my dad was kind of like a he studied
that stuff and I grew up with it. It's almost verbatim.
I'm not going to say names because people.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
Get really wild over that.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
But you know what I'm talking about. Absolutely you read,
If you.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Read, or you watch certain programs, and I will tell
you all if you send me a message, if you
watch those programs, you will be absolutely shocked at the parallels.
Only this is going faster.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, yes it is.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
And that's what pisss me off. And I'm not going
to correct my language. Sorry everyone, no need to.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
No, this is potty mouth central, right. The more vulgar
the better.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
But don't you watch just don't you erase my Native Americans.
Don't you erase any of my Black friends. Don't you
erase any of my Asian friends. Don't you erase anybody.
Don't do that, because you are discrediting what we did.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, yeah, and it's just being no, they aren't. They're
discrediting themselves. Yeah, see, because they do know the truth
and they want to make sure that the generations to
come and right.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
And my fear is that like this type of conversation,
within the next month, all of us could end up
and they'll Salvador.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know what comes from me. Come from me, you
son of a bitch, Come from me. I'm telling you
right now, I have absolutely no fear, and if we
do not overcome our fear, Nancy, when we were at
the march, what didn't we talk about? How many people
came out and we didn't march. We went right to

(18:01):
the venue to Liberty Park I believe it's called in
front of the state Capitol, and we welcomed everybody in
as they came. Being trying. I couldn't handle four miles that,
I just couldn't. So we got ourselves a nice cushy
place under some pretty leafy trees, and we just welcomed

(18:23):
the crowd in. And wasn't it amazing? It was their
children and elderly people that were at least in their
eighties or nineties, and their walkers and their wheelchairs coming
out and joining us all together. And there were black
folks and white folks and Asian folks and I mean
all folks. It was my most eclectic mix of people

(18:48):
I have never seen at a singular event. What was
your impression of it, Nancy? Because I was thrilled. I
was exhausted, but I was thrilled.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I was too, because where I live in Florida,
the area I live in is just trump Land, and
it's very hard, you know, to live live live in
this area. And it was like a spiritual experience to
me because I felt like this was the first time
I've ever been with a group of people that everyone

(19:20):
thinks like I do. And it was really just ah
inspiring because a lot of the people on Facebook that
I'm still friends with, I don't know why, but you know,
family members and people I grew up with, they're Trumpers
and it's just so hard to live with that every day,

(19:41):
and you know, wonder what the hell is wrong with you?
You know what happened to you? You're not the person
I grew up with. So anyway, it was just great.
I had such a wonderful time and I told my husband,
I said, it was I've never experienced anything like that.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, he was an excellent dog sitter. We left her
husband less here on that beautiful black sofa back there
that usually has a peanut butter cup on it, and
he was the dog sitter for the day so that
we could go to Atlanta and not worry about anything.
The doggies were going to be fine. They were going

(20:23):
to be with somebody that they absolutely adore, and so yay,
and we had the most wonderful, wonderful experience that day.
But I do know some people, including among us tonight,
that didn't go to a demonstration for a reason. So Allie,

(20:44):
would you like to talk about your experience of watching
us and you know and everything by the millions?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah. I was one of those people that ended
up not going because I basically had an anxiety attack,
a nervous breakdown. Because I've been following this since two
thousand and fifteen.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
We too.

Speaker 8 (21:07):
I had I like, I remember distinctly different moments, like
five different moments where I'm like, this is not good,
this is not good. One of them was taking my
aunt in law to a doctor, this old German lady,
and they started talking about the election between him and Hillary.
Oh it's go do du do so negative? And I

(21:28):
said yeah, I said you and you probably know so much.
And she's like why and I said, well, the whole
Nazi thing. He's just like Hitler and she gave me
a she ripped me apart. Oh he's not like Hitler.
I know this, and she might.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
As well be the fucking reincarnation of him votes him.

Speaker 8 (21:50):
And then and then we had a client who was
a secret service guy way back when, and he said,
I never I never vote for Hillary. She's a witch,
you know, she walking And I'm like, what do all
the men and the presidents do? But because she's a female,
this is an issue. So so I've been going on.
I mean, I've had friends of my husband's going on

(22:13):
election day back in twenty sixteen, going or fifteen and going, oh,
I hope Allie's okay, Like like literally I was having
a breakdown on that day. And the same with this
you know following and it's like today.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I've watched I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
Yeah, I've listened to and yes I have Trump derangement
syndrome because I see and I've seen all this s
I hit going on.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
You're allowed to swear?

Speaker 8 (22:42):
Yeah, right, it's ridiculous. And so mainstream news I listen
to instead. I go to like Daily Beans, so all
listeners out there. Daily Beans is a great podcast. I
watch House Barks when I watch things like he actually
he records and he listens, he watches live or he
watches with you what Trump and other people do. So

(23:05):
you feel like you're not going insane and he actually
it's like this camaraderie. So and Stephanie Miller too. Uh,
there's some different podcasts that keep me sane because I
need to know it's my I'm not gonna I am
not going to have my son and my grandkids deal
with it. I'm going to go out fighting. And that's

(23:27):
my guest talk about. Yes, this blue lighting. Maybe, uh,
you know, we may all be in wherever down the road,
but at least I know that I wasn't quiet because
I am friend can't. I just can't.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
So yeah, and neither can I and I never will.
And I don't care who I piss off. Yeah, I
do not care. I ask them just self reflect self,
reflect on what you see happening, and stop making excuses
for a path alone, logical liar. Stop.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
And I think there's strength in numbers too. So remember
only a third voted for him.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's right, voted, that's right, I heard, and complacency.

Speaker 8 (24:14):
So we have to stick up in numbers, and you do.
There's a podcast that's like good News about It's it's
actually good political news, and so you need to remember
that what we do. I mean, I I message, and
I do the the you know, the I call my
representative and I email them.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm on speed dial. We need ye knows my voice
when the answer.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
Makes the difference, and to speak out. And I every
day I'm like, all right today, I'm not going to
post anything political on my Facebook page. You did it again. Yeah,
so I apologize and you know, and I try to
balance it out, but I'm like, no, this is more
important than me showing off a photo or something quirky
and funny right now.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, it is. This is more important than anything and
everything that is going on in the world because it
affects the entire world order is world not just us?
Not just us? Well, Annie, do you want to talk
deb which one of you is next? I'm ready.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
I mean, you know me, I'm always ready.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's ready. I don't want to take a lot of time.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
But what I want to say to Meila, I love
you with all my heart. You're my sister.

Speaker 9 (25:36):
I got your back, I'm there for you, Tom for you.
I'm angry. I am so angry and I'm scared. This
is insane. And what I want to say to everybody
is if you think you're not affected, and that's you know.
That's what has been happening as people are like, oh,

(25:57):
I'm like, oh I'm I'm if I'm safe. Bullshit, nobody
is safe, nobody, nobody, you know, just look around at
what Ice is doing.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
They just walk up with a mask on, they nab you.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Nobody is safe. Of course, the safest.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Are now are the wealthy white males.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
But honestly, all you have to do is say something
that isn't like or go against.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, if we get an arrested end mass, I would
like to be in the same cell with all of you.
That would be really loud and it would that's all.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Right now, just to see if we can make it happen.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
I'm telling you, I am absolutely fear less. First of all,
we are all under the divine dome of protection. All
of us are because we are We are goodness and
light in the world, and we are we are that needed.
And if you think that people by the millions wouldn't
come out to defend us, If you think that the

(27:15):
April fifth March was something a wonder to behold, just
wait until April nineteenth.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
They're all paid, don't Oh yeah, yeah, I know, you know,
I neglected to cash the check.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I don't know why, you fucking idiots. I mean, I'm sorry,
but you know anybody that says that is a raving lunatic.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Wait, there's always some What they're talking about is they
get homeless people. But it's more like unions. They call
it informational protests. And if you bother to do a
Google search, and they keep posting these things talking about
if you look.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
On indeed they're paid. No they're not. I looked, I
looked not.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
What they used to do is they would get homeless
people off the street. They would have them hold their
signs up outside the local unions and things like that,
and they would call it an informational protest. It helped
the homeless people in the community. It helped get the
word out and instead of getting people off the jobs
in the union halls, they would do that. That is
the only paid protest that it was, fight me.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
There was one other paid event, and that's in twenty
fifteen when he slithered down the escalator with malaria on
his arm too.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
He say, malaria ter you sold my term?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
No, no, no, I loaned it to you. Betch don't either,
So we'll fight about that, Okay, So anyway, Yeah, every
single person that you know, like the frame sales bottom
of the stairs, was handed a fifty dollars bill coming
in off the street into Trump Tower. And it was

(29:06):
a fraud right from the beginning. If you want to
talk to me about fraud and waste and abuse, talk
to me about nineteen trips in ninety days back and
forth from Washington tomorrow a lago to pay golf. You
play golf on your own dime, you son of a bitch.

(29:27):
Would you like to finish your thought? I don't remember
what my thought was. Well, that's all right.

Speaker 9 (29:34):
Mainly, mainly my big thing on this is that nobody
is safe. Everybody is either love somebody who is of
a different color or a different gender, or is gay
by trans whatever. Either we have that in our lives,
our family something, or we there's something, there's something. Everybody

(29:59):
will be a fact. And Corey Booker, I just love
that man. He said this is not about right and
left at this point. It's about right and wrong.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
And it's wrong about good and evil exactly. The fact is,
no one is free until everyone is free, no one
is free. We are not free. We are no longer
free in our country. Our country is starting to look
like remember at the beginning of the Ukraine War when

(30:34):
people in Russia protested it, and they're still sitting in jails. Right,
We're arrested off the streets of their own country for
saying this isn't a good idea, please don't do this,
and dragged through the streets and thrown into Russian gulags
and they're still there. Ye. This is becoming Russia. This

(30:57):
is becoming how the citizenry in China is treated if
they dare to raise their voice against the king, the dictator. Ye,
no way, not in America, not on my watch.

Speaker 8 (31:11):
I think that one thing that I just actually today,
I was listening to something and they were saying if
like the last four years was hell too. We had Biden.
But I was listening to the other side going, oh,
he's senile, he's old, he shit, shit, shit, we don't
like this, And then I'm like, shut that, you know really,
So so okay, dudes, we have Trump, He's your savior.

(31:36):
We are going to Project twenty twenty five. I've lost
so many friends over that. Right, So are we the
generation that now they said we have to have we
have to restructure this country a little bit because our
forefathers everything that put into place, some good, some not,
but pretty pretty amazing how they were trying to figure out.
They never thought someone like this would get elected. Right,

(32:00):
So it's our generation, it's our voices. It's us to
stand up to this and make the future go on
an upward path or you know, a better path. So
I have to think that we are here for a reason.
This is our mission. And now the third and maybe

(32:21):
two thirds of the country that didn't weren't in the cult, maybe.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
This is all.

Speaker 8 (32:30):
We need to put on our capes, and we need
to whether it's art, whether it's our voices, whether it's
going out, whether it's connecting with our leaders, whether it's
becoming a leader. I mean, I do art quite a bit,
and my art is pretty fed up because of this.
But it's a way I'm expressing myself and I'm hoping
to be able to share that with others and say, yeah,

(32:50):
this is this is the direction that we need to
change out. So I'm trying to keep that as a positivity.
And all the ship that's happening to us and our
friends and are relatives and the people that are worked
for the government, that are losing their jobs.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, I'm reason and told me all clowns. Yeah, it's
all wasteids by the ultimate wasteoid, Marn't Taylor Green, who's
who fifteen minutes from here is Paulding County, fifteen minutes
from here. You can't drive anywhere in Georgia without seeing

(33:27):
Oh my god, Oh my god. And she's the one
saying that they don't deserve their paychecks. She's a waste
of space on the planet. As the fucking day is long,
we have to get mad. I am mad. See you

(33:47):
see what happened in my face. My blood pressure just
went right through the roof because I live too close
to the scum of the earth.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
You know, we also Ali, you said, we also have
to gather and deb if you don't mind what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
What we're doing. This is great.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Okay, this is great.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
And on April was it, twenty fifth, twenty fourth, twenty
fifth four, we're gathering in Holton Lake. Yes, And one
of the reasons we're gathering in Holton Lake. And we
got Andrea to come, and I'm so excited. But this
is one of the ways, this is one of the
things we know how to do. We know how to gather,
we know how to raise vibrations, We know how to

(34:31):
love on each other. We know how to lift each
other up in this time of just uncertainty. Surround yourself
with the love and the vibrations that you need so
you can get the energy that you need to do
to go smack some folks. I mean to go talk
to some folks.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well, you know, Nancy loved my sign. I made signs
for everybody in the like, including for Nancy while she
was here at the house. And I made breakfast and
we made signs, and then we all piled in the
car and we went to Atlanta and Less stayed home
to babysit the puppies. And my sign said I'm fighting
stage four cancer and I am here to fight for democracy.

(35:14):
And how many people stopped in buds, Yeah, and you know,
bowed their heads out and touched me. And that was
stopped to talk to me. Because if I can get
up off my ass with what I'm dealing with and
make a point to go into the state capital of

(35:36):
one of the most backwards, low life states in this
country and try to make it a little bit better
today Today in Congress in the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson,
no friend to anyone in this country. Past a bell

(35:57):
called No Rogue Ruling Act. They are literally trying to
silence and neuter the judiciary in this country if they
get a ruling they don't like. Then Maria Judge Sallas

(36:20):
was on this afternoon on TV talking about how people
are sending pizzas to judges around the country and then
they're sending pizzas to their children's homes. In other words,
we know where you live, we know where your children live.

(36:41):
Them her son was murdered. She was the intended target
years ago, and her twenty year old son, her miracle child,
the one child she had that survived. She had four
miscarriages and this one boy and he grew to adulthood
and was the light of her life. And the man

(37:02):
that came to her door to kill her killed her
son instead. Now they're putting her son's name as the
giver of the pizzas. Nice. This is what MAGA is doing.
The convicted felons, sixteen hundred of them released on day one,

(37:23):
because really all they were doing was taking a tour
of the Capitol. Just a real shame that five people died.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
You know, to me again about scratching a car.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, you know. I mean, I don't want
to fight dirty. I don't want to fight at all.
I just want this country to wake up to the
reality that we have someone that got put into office
again because we didn't learn our lesson the first time,

(37:54):
and got put into office again unfettered by a supreme
that he handpicked and got shoved down our throats. Right,
And he's not in this alone deep trouble. He has
a lot of help. Yeah, he has a lot of help,
because all that really matters is power and glory and money.

(38:18):
Please put the camera on me when I tell everybody
in the world that countries are groveling and kissing my ass.
You're not vulgar and disgusting and grotesque. And he's supposed
to be the leader of the free world. You know,
I'll show you vulgar because I got some vulgar because

(38:40):
I am furious, I am enraged, And I'll tell you
another thing. As they try to cut away at our
Medicare and our Medicaid and what I paid into Lifelong
so that I have got some insurance while I am
dealing with a life threatening illness and you're trying to

(39:01):
take that away from me. In other words, this is
I mean, this guy puts Ebenezer Screwge to shame. Okay,
remember when the men who were collecting money on the
streets for the poor, and he said, oh, you know, sorry,
I've got nothing for them. You know, if they're sick,
let them die. It'll decrease the surplus population. That's exactly

(39:24):
how they feel about the elderly people that are home
to coast that will close within the next six months
if they do strip out eight hundred and eighty billion
dollars from Medicare and medicate and Social Security, and that
is their intention, so that they can line their pockets
with it. And if we do not stand up, and

(39:46):
we do not stop this, then we are doomed as
a society. And the United States of America will not
see it's two hundred and fiftieth birthday as a democracy.
It won't see it. The time is now. This is
the paradigm shift. Wake the fuck up, Nancy, Nancy. I'm sorry,

(40:10):
Nancy's Annie Russell. You haven't said a word. You haven't
even had a chance to get a word.

Speaker 10 (40:18):
No, I I've been listening a lot Jimillie.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
I love you, honey, you more can't wait to get
to Nola with you.

Speaker 10 (40:30):
I mostly I was listening because there's so much that
goes through my head. Anger, absolutely and I'm so angry.
I wish I was more angry than afraid, but probably not.
I'm terrified, absolutely terrified. And as much as I absolutely

(40:55):
despise Trump, I hate to even hear his voice, oh
everything about him, But it's actually his followers that I
am most upset with, because Trump without his followers is nothing,
He's absolutely nothing. He's He's just a manifestation of the

(41:21):
evil that these people.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Like to see.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
And I I don't.

Speaker 10 (41:28):
I just don't. I can't wrap my I try really
hard to.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wrap my head around that. I try.

Speaker 10 (41:36):
I try really hard to have some grace with the
people that I know and love that are eyeball deep
in this cult. And I don't. I don't, And I
don't like that in myself. I don't like thinking, well,
you know what, fuck you you voted for it and
now we all are going to suffer, and I feel

(41:58):
bad for you, and I don't. I don't like feeling
like that about myself. I don't like feeling that UH mean.
I don't want to be mean. At the same time,
I don't think that people who voted for our demise
in one form or another deserve anything else from me.

(42:21):
I certainly can't waste my time with them. And I
these are, you know, people i'd called friends, my only sibling,
who's my twin, my current bosses. You know it's it.

Speaker 11 (42:38):
I just I don't.

Speaker 10 (42:39):
I don't. I just can't get there.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
I I have had.

Speaker 10 (42:47):
Personal experience with cults, mentality, diseased mind group minds, and
trying to remove yourself from that type of environment, so
so I do understand the complete waste of time and
trying to reason or logic. You can't do it. You

(43:11):
couldn't when I was involved in a cult mindset. In fact,
it worked the opposite with me. I doubled down every
time because it was too dangerous for me to look
outside of that. It was absolutely terrifying. And I think
that's where they're all at right now, especially the ones
who are going to lose a job in the government

(43:31):
who can't not kiss his ass.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
I don't.

Speaker 10 (43:35):
I just don't know how we get out of it.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I just don't. I.

Speaker 10 (43:40):
I was so thrilled to see the marching, and I
was thrilled to see how many of us showed up
in one form or another. But I don't know what
we do past that, you know. I just I I'm
not feeling terribly positive, and I'm going to cry too,
because I'm exhausted. I've been working retail in a French

(44:02):
quarter festival for two days and I'm tired. But I'm
I'm so glad to be a part of this, and
I so wish I could get to Hopton Lake. I
was telling Lenny that I was trying to think could
I fly up and fly back?

Speaker 1 (44:19):
And I can't.

Speaker 10 (44:20):
But I I I'm angry and I'm scared, and I
just don't. I don't know how we're going to get
out of it. I I really, I try to listen
so much to you all that who are so strong,
because I don't feel strong.

Speaker 7 (44:37):
The only way out of it right now is that
military does what they're supposed to do, right, That's right.

Speaker 10 (44:44):
Yeah, But they're going to the military is vowed to
follow the Constitution, and the Constitution is only as good
as our belief or collective belief in it. So I
mean that these are the I'm sorry, I hate to
be the downer in this.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
I'm not.

Speaker 10 (45:00):
I'm just very I'm very concerned about it all. And
I'm concerned about all of us and and our country
as a whole, and.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
The country as a whole. And look at this, this
group of women, this collective of women on this screen.
Every one of us is beyond child bearing years now,
I assume the fruit.

Speaker 11 (45:21):
Yeah, we're out there fighting for a woman's right to control.

Speaker 10 (45:32):
Her own body and and and our ability to vote
they want.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Yeah, the voter purge of the re here in Georgia
right now is stunning.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Name is different. When you get married, you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Who does that penalize the women change their last.

Speaker 8 (46:02):
Names trans people who want to change their names that too,
And yeah, it's just.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
And it's his voter suppression so that only rich white
folks can make all of them retain power in the
United States of America. And I have three words for that.
Fuck that noise.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Yeah, and you have to have a passport and one
d one hundred and thirty dollars passport. Lots of people
can't afford that.

Speaker 10 (46:35):
Yeah, you know, and like half the half the country
does not have a passport.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Just to vote. It's it's so ridiculous. It is it's
just to make it financially unaffordable and to put the
onus on women. And Lenny and I were talking about
this just the other day. Lenny, remind me what you
said about this we were talking about when we were
talking about voter suppression that's going on in so many

(47:06):
of the different states. I don't remember.

Speaker 8 (47:12):
Well or three way she is real quickly, you guys
on resist Spot. You're on resist Spot right. I just
got a message. That's a great app to be on
and people are listening to. There's a lot of different
things on your phone, social media and stuff like that.
Just to keep positive. There's that what's the five things.
There's an app for five five calls, five calls, So.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
That's on my page. I posted five calls a while ago.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Awesome.

Speaker 8 (47:42):
So we all have to remember, we have to keep informed.
We have to do those little things that we think
aren't going to make a difference.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
They are. They are reliq they do.

Speaker 8 (47:54):
And if we're all in small groups, whether it be
your group of neighbors, whether it be us nine eight
people on here, if they can't go after all of
us in one big collective of we're all and from
little groupie groups, you know. So we have to just
remember that and keep informed and share. And also I'm

(48:17):
just gonna be doing now.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Let me let me just let me just say this
what we need to do, and then you ask where
we go from here. One of the things we need
to do is that there's more of us than there
are of them.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
That's why they keep dividing us. It's misdirection.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
If I can make you.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
Think that my problem is because of them, then you'll
do what I say. If I can make you feel
like they are harming you, then you'll do what I say.
This is about the one percent taking from the ninety
nine percent. Since nineteen seventy there has been eighty trillion
dollars moved from the middle class to the upper class.
Right now, Elon Musk just got another six billion dollar

(48:57):
thing while he cuts our snap benefits, while he cuts
us down.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
This is what we have to tell people. It's not us.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
And the last thing is that I would never if
I was in a relationship with somebody who lied to me,
who told you know, this man told his followers that
I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street
and y'all dumbasses would still vote for me.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
He lies, not fucking times and one in.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
The same fucking speech.

Speaker 5 (49:31):
You don't have enough respect for yourself, Like, get some
balls about yourself.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
What kind of person would allow a person to treat
you like this? You are golfing while you are taking
out of.

Speaker 8 (49:43):
My four O one k man, Fuck you are you serious?

Speaker 2 (49:46):
And you're gonna deal with that?

Speaker 5 (49:47):
Man?

Speaker 4 (49:48):
No, not be me.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
I'm too much of a I'm too much of a
fabulous goddess. I am worth much and people think they're
worth more. They're gonna continue this and it just.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, so we're going to put a dead stop to it. Lenny,
you didn't get enough time to talk, and we've only
got five minutes left and buildings up that he wants
uh and we all we should all agree with this,
that they need to investigate the insider trading. That was
when there was the call for the ninety day pause, because,

(50:24):
believe me, trust me.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
The.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Money absolutely awful. In the Oval office, pointing at his
billionaire friends, saying, and you just made half a million
dollars and you just want a billion dollars, and you
and you, and you and you, and now you owe me.
And that is dictatorship and houligarchy. And if anyone wants

(50:54):
to deny it, then they're too stupid to live. They
are not even using their own eyes and the good
sense God gave them, not even using the breath in
their own lungs to tap into what is happening in
our country. And if you are not, if there was

(51:15):
ever a case for the old adage, if you are
not part of the solution, then you are part of
the problem. It has never applied more than it does.
And Bill just put up that we need to do
this again, that this is very powerful, and yes it is.
And I love all of you incredible women with all

(51:39):
my heart, and let us tonight, let us and all
of us have got wonderful men in our lives that
are right there with us. I mean, this screen could
be filled with men as much as women. But the
fact of the matter is that we are the spine
of this country. We are the backbone, we are the voice,

(52:02):
we are the rise of the sacred feminine energy. And
we're not gonna take this fucking bullshit anymore. And you
watch what we do on April nineteenth, when we come
out in numbers that cannot be ignored. With that, we
have to say good night, which I knew we were

(52:22):
going to blow it through this rightfully. You know we
will do this again. Bell wants us to do this again.
He really does believe that this isn't come in very powerful.
And I also when most of us will be together
at Lake and Annie the next event that you can

(52:44):
make it to you let me know and I will
fly up to Detroit and somebody will fetch my ass
at the airport and brand through you to say will
because it's imperative. Everything that we do right now is imperative.
Are whole and wide awake. We are the wisdom of

(53:04):
the Agent. We are the women who make a difference
in this world. And we will continue to do this
because this is the time. It is the Paradi Diime shift.
This is a world awakening to our reality, and our
reality is frightful and only we can change course. Only

(53:25):
we can. So I encourage each and every one of
you to do what I share with all of my
viewers around the world. Always speak the truth, speak your truth,
stand up for what is good and right. And pure
and true and whole, Be the hope, Be the light
you seek, and be the change you wish to see

(53:48):
in the world. Thank you everyone who has joined us
tonight for a world awakening. We are woke up. Well
here they awoke. Thank you guys Gotti
