| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Mary M. Williamson here. What an extraordinary week this is. Joe Biden has won |
| 0:20.8 | the American presidency, although that fact is being disputed as we speak by the current president, |
| 0:26.5 | Donald J. Trump. What does this mean? We have to ask ourselves some very, very serious questions. |
| 0:32.3 | You know, I've worked a lot with people who are cancer survivors, people who have been through |
| 0:38.3 | terminal diseases, supposedly terminal diseases, and have found themselves surviving the experience. |
| 0:43.6 | And more often than not, people say, this has changed my life. It has made me think about the |
| 0:48.0 | purpose of my life and has made me want to make some real changes in the way I live it. And I think |
| 0:53.5 | that this country has to ask that same kind of question right now. First of all, we have to |
| 0:58.5 | look in the mirror. Everybody says that right now. Oh, we have to look in the mirror. It's one |
| 1:02.4 | thing to say it, and it's another thing to do it. We have to ask ourselves, what happened in this |
| 1:07.6 | country that a phenomenon such as right wing fanaticism with tents of real fascistic behavior ever |

| 1:20.5 | It would be a big mistake for us not to address that question now. Because if we don't address |
| 1:25.8 | the question, then we could end up back here sooner than we even think. We could end up back here |
| 1:31.1 | in 2022. We could end up back here in 2024. You know, there's a television commercial that's |
| 1:38.8 | on TV a lot right now. And it's a couple who are driving a car, the man is driving, and they have |
| 1:44.6 | children in the back seat. And they're driving out of their driveway. And you can see that a truck |
| 1:51.8 | is coming past. And I guess because of some signal on the car, the husband who is driving is |
| 1:57.6 | reminded that in fact, there is a truck there and he better stop really quick and he puts on his |
| 2:03.0 | brakes. And at that point, you see the husband and wife look at each other with profound shock |
| 2:08.0 | and relief that the car had stopped in time and they had basically avoided killing their children. |
| 2:13.5 | I feel that that's a good analogy to what just happened in the United States, except we have to |
