November 06, 2021Jules Taylor, interviewed by Henry Hakamäki, for the David Feldman Show
I was invited on the David Feldman Show by my friend and comrade Henry Hakamäki from the Guerilla History podcast. I was really happy to talk with Henry - and if you haven't checked out both Guerilla History and the David Feldman Show, I'd highly recommend checking those out.

David Feldman's show is like a 7-hour show twice a week. It's totally insane that 14 hours of content a week are produced for that show. *mind blown*
Guerilla History is a podcast that is a "must listen" for me any time they release a new episode.
We talked about my most recent (at the time) episode called "There is no greater con than the American Dream."
Here's a link to the speech I delivered that I mentioned during the course of my conversation.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-mom-through-dialysis
https://paypal.me/julestaylormusic
Please help in any way that you can - you have my unending gratitude for any amount you can contribute. I want my mother around for a very long time, and she is young enough to recover from this and still have a good quality of life. Ultimately, we will not know for another 2 and 1/2 months if the damage to her kidneys is reversible. All funding will go directly to her to help in her time of need and with any medical debts that will no doubt be accrued during this process.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for sharing this, and thank you for giving any amount to help with this.

I think it's an empirical claim that there are people in this world that mean the world to you - and when those people who mean the world to you need help, you have to be willing to move the world out of the way to get them the help they need. This is my attempt at helping my mother, who means the world to me.

Thank you,

Jules Taylor
