00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.360 align:middle line:90%
Five.

00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:10.040 align:middle line:84%
Dear America, let's take the
ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:13.650 align:middle line:84%
Let's spread our beach blankets
out beneath the chains,

00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:16.460 align:middle line:90%
cut from her unshackled feet.

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:20.820 align:middle line:84%
Let's bring the Coke and
Sprite and Arizona iced tea.

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.930 align:middle line:84%
Let's share a potato salad and
taquitos, hot dogs and tofurky.

00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:28.530 align:middle line:84%
Let's sing the song we learned
in high school and mean it.

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:32.460 align:middle line:84%
Send these and I lift
and golden shores.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.170 align:middle line:84%
Bring your service dog and
parakeet, your grandmother

00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:38.310 align:middle line:90%
and the neighbor you dislike.

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:43.290 align:middle line:84%
Bring Kavanaugh, McConnell,
Hannity, Ingraham.

00:00:43.290 --> 00:00:47.400 align:middle line:84%
Tell them they can wear
no makeup and no suit,

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:50.010 align:middle line:90%
and they can't say a word.

00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:53.580 align:middle line:84%
But they must eat what's given
and give thanks with a nod.

00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:56.580 align:middle line:84%
They must do the dishes
and clean up the trash.

00:00:56.580 --> 00:00:58.700 align:middle line:84%
They must count
how many dandelions

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.000 align:middle line:90%
have bloomed in the grass.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.150 align:middle line:84%
How many gulls have
stopped by for a snack.

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:06.090 align:middle line:90%
Hey, everyone, let's quiet them.

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:11.540 align:middle line:84%
The voices that deceive and
suppress and betray and lie.

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.660 align:middle line:84%
Let's show them what
language is for by making

00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:17.660 align:middle line:90%
them hungry to connect.

00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:21.980 align:middle line:84%
I know some of you will want
them to be your friends.

00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:24.290 align:middle line:90%
That's not their job.

00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:30.280 align:middle line:84%
Their job is come to the picnic
and help clean up the mess.

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.000 align:middle line:90%
