Using the comedy central support for this pod cast comes Phronsie you now. A pike has created by Johnson and Johnson and the American Nurses Association, highlighting innovative in human centred solutions, driven by nurses, addressing today's most challenging healthcare problems hosted by nurse economist and health tax, specialist Shanna Butler over the decades and centuries we ve been looking at our citys at their work and their research in their science, but we haven't really been seeing them, see you now available wherever you,
by guests? Yes, lamp was a question ass, wise, virtually how you use
buddy to guide the conversation on women's choice, abortion. I think both sides,
there is a lot of legitimacy and spirituality, but also haven't you yeah.
Virtuality is the path of the heart, that's all that spirituality of when it comes to abortion. I do believe that it's a moral issue, but it is to me an issue of private morality and I trust the moral decision making in the biological choices of the american woman. I do not believe
the? U S. Government has any right to be making moral decisions for an
I guess, with the media, not acknowledging, I think the other factor, white supremacy about maybe bringing up
Why not I write sort. So if I, if I understand what you think is well on the same page, nor do I think I understand, but would you seeing as how, as a president, would you begin the conversation in and around white supremacy, its role in America's mass shootings, but also in police department,
where I think we ve seen on many occasions, Armenia should, like I think, it's Philadelphia. We like many police, were found to have extremely racist accounts and we ve seen police are more likely. Yes,
right. Yes,
Conversely, the F B, I said several years ago that they felt that the largest a threat of domestic terrorism,
not to say it was wide supremacy, and I remember there being political forces on the right. That's wealth that conversation and didn't want to go there. My commented the debate about the the it's dark: psychic forces, collectivized hatred. I did talk about this in both of the debate. I have been talking about it when you put races
bigotry, Anti Semitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, then a phobia together
an energy zeal particularly see when we thought several years ago. We had reached the point in this country, not that any intelligent observer thought we didn't have bigots racists, etc, but we thought we have reached a point in this country where they were lines pass, which we would not go.
On both left and right that neither Republicans nor Democrats, any serious of megaphone would be given to such people as though right those levies have fallen. First of all their fallen because of social media and fallen because we have a person, namely the President of the United States, whose not above harnessing those powers for his own political purposes. This has been historically and is today one of the most dangerous things that can exist in any society.
The power of collectivized hate. Now what is happening with such shootings as this and it has been happening among intelligent observer, is people are realised
we have a serious problem on our hands and that is why
and I also mentioned it like. I said my maybe the worm engineer with a little silly, but I say when you have collectivized hatred, you must, and you must answer with collectivized love,
When I heard Jerry Cushion or say that he had said to him,
father in law about four years ago. There are a lot of angry people out there and weaken
we can harness all that and make you president. I thought to myself. I see a lot of wonderful, loving, dignified, decent people out there. We could harness all that and change the world,
so. This is a multi dimensional issue. On one hand, I hope that we will have laws now. There will be resistance to this, but we need to give our intelligence agencies, including law enforcement, including FBI, far more power to go in there on these websites. We
where we have two. They have known that their they're, just like we give them power when it comes to people. We are police agencies who who know that if, once you start talking about pedophilia,
right. We give resources, we need to give more resources, but to people would do in the sex with children thing they know
how to do they know how to shut it down. Not enough of this has been shut down. Then we have the the gun issues that you've been speaking about quite elephant eloquently, and I agree with you on all that you said. First of all, we have to realize you have a serious problem on our hands. Secondly, we have to give all the external powers the power that they need to go shut it down in cyber security.
And we also have to deal with the gun issues. I believe because, like you were saying in Dayton, the police were there and what what something, how many people died of more? My people do, and we have to realise that it is up to each and every one of us. We must now become a serious behind our love as some.
People are serious behind their hate. There are far more lovers than there are haters, but Haters in America today, hate with conviction, conviction is a force multiplier. We must love with conviction, but the love that is a convicted love is not just a personal love is not just a.
For people like you, not just a love for your own children is also an equal love for children. On the other side of town, it's love for the children on the other side of the world. We have to realise, and all the western I'm talking about whether it has to do with with traumatized children whether it has to do with with reckless and irresponsible and even criminal acts of militarism.
We must be willing to apply love rather than in a moral and leading to immoral economic principles, order in our society, the United States of America. We generation of Americans have to decide what kind of country do we want,
because we need an entirely new operating system in this country, if you're gonna make money,
the bottom line money until there to any moral or ethical principle do not go beyond surprise when all this societal dysfunction arises anybody
any intelligent understanding of history knows that's what happens when love does not prevail.
The number one world from the side of the road will take you from the second or your hands up? First, are ya ya? Last question:
so a lot of the phone,
You have a really great to eleven breakfast, but it's so completely closed eyes. Polarized in this country. Right now, it's not as easy as just saying what we're going to do. You also have to convince you know the other half of the aisle to agree with you. So how do you plan to
I have two things to say that first,
no matter who wins the presidency and, of course we hope it's a Democrat. If Mitch Mcconnell still,
had of of the Senate. That person is going to find themselves obstructed lot of places. Second of all, if the consciousness of America is at a place where they would,
let me president, then I think the consciousness of America I give it. The whole different Senate is what are we doing about things that guided changes that were they have an angle, mad habit of I've resident, though it's all about what you have, but more than that? Even my partnership is with the american people.
What we're talking about is going to happen unless we, the american people, see each and every one of us is an immune, sell it. Donald Trump is, is an opportunist, a that could not
I've got a hold of us. Had there not been in a week and societal immune system to many of us who are
on a disengagement from politics to acquiescence too
economic system that played more to the advocacy for corporate profits than to advocacy for the peace.
We all, I believe, have to take responsibility for what happened and if we just think the same old
I'm all a better version of Samos imo, is going to defeat that I obviously do not agree with that, and if we are open, as its Abraham Lincoln said, we must distant thrall ourselves as the cases new. We must act and knew where
Americans? We were born out of a ramp spirit. We said to tyranny in seventeen. Seventy six hell,
when I'm doing that anymore, we're doing something different. We repudiated arrest
product and lead us nonsense in seventeen. Seventy six and it's time to do it again.
