| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Jen Rubin, and this is Jen Rubin's Green Room. |
| 0:13.1 | For those of you who are watching and not listening, you will notice the large purple cast on my wrist. |
| 0:20.3 | And therein lies the explanation for why I've been laying a little |
| 0:23.9 | bit low recently. It's not because I'm depressed, although there have been moments of depression. |
| 0:30.0 | And it's not because I fear Donald Trump is going to deport me, although he might. It's because I |
| 0:36.0 | broke my wrist and took quite a tumble. So I am on the mend |
| 0:40.3 | and once again am immensely grateful for that part of the American medical system that works |
| 0:47.9 | very well if you have insurance, even poor insurance. And for all the doctors and nurses and physical therapists, it does take |
| 0:55.8 | a village to put together a wrist again. So I am on the mend and I am in fighting form once |
| 1:03.8 | again. So let me share a few thoughts post-election with you. Not so much maybe about the election, but kind of how I'm looking at |

| 1:31.4 | much better than Biden's approval, it was too much for her to overcome. That also must |
| 1:38.5 | acknowledge that we live in a media sewer that the right wing has created. And we're going to spend some time |
| 1:47.1 | over the next year looking at that, what it entails, what they've created, how they've bamboozled |
| 1:52.5 | people, how utterly uninformed his voters are. 70% of people who read newspapers voted for |
| 1:59.3 | Kamala Harris. The people who are the most uninformed, and there's actually been poll work done on this from Reuters Ipsis, the more likely they are to vote for Trump. |
| 2:08.9 | Because ignorance, confusion, fear is how they operate and how they attain power. |
| 2:14.8 | And that's why they spent $100 million on anti-trans ads. It wasn't because |
| 2:20.3 | this was an actual issue. They decided to make it an issue and to throw the fear of God literally |
| 2:27.3 | into many of their supporters. So that's part of the explanation. And then of of course, we have to come to terms with the fact |
| 2:35.6 | that African Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump. Their economic situation, on average, |
