0:18.8	Hi, Catherine. Hello, Chelsea. This is our post-election minisode.
0:25.8	Minisode. Yeah. So we wanted to gather some resources for everybody to make sure that the people who
0:33.1	want to get involved and activate or doing something, there was like 11 million people that didn't vote this
0:38.9	year compared to Biden. So I think the popular vote ended up at 81 million for Biden and around
0:44.7	70 million for Kamala. And then Trump got 75 million, which is only one million more than he got
0:50.9	last time he ran. So the comfort in that is that it's not like he's
0:56.9	gaining an audience. The left has lost their audience because of Gaza and Israel and a bunch of
1:04.9	people that didn't want to vote because of that, which I will never understand, because if
1:09.9	anyone's going to go after Israel in a more
1:12.2	aggressive way, it is Trump. At least Kamala would have pressured Netanyahu for a ceasefire.
1:17.2	And at this point, Netanyahu is to blame for this ongoing pulverization of Gaza. But anyway,
1:24.6	that should be some comfort knowing that he didn't gain so many more followers.
1:29.6	I don't believe every Trump voter is a racist and a bigot. I just believe that people are
1:34.4	really uninformed in this country. And that's what Trump's administration wants is for people
1:38.9	to get more uninformed. And we're going to make sure we get more informed. And one of the things I just wanted to touch
1:46.2	upon is like, I read this book about economics when I saw this economist speak at one of these
1:50.6	like getaways, like this was years ago. Like a retreat? Yeah, one of these like Google
1:55.1	retreats or something that I went to. And the economy that we're experiencing now is not because of Biden.
2:02.1	It's because of fucking Donald Trump,
2:03.6	that every economic policy, the major economic policy,
2:08.0	takes four to six years to actually show up in society.
