Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to wikf Daily with me
Speaker 1: your Girl, Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks.
Speaker 1: I'm recording this ahead of time, as I normally do
Speaker 1: Monday shows, but I have to tell you that today
Speaker 1: I am recording this in a level of anger that
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've had for a while. Everything
Speaker 1: I know is up against us right now. The powers
Speaker 1: that be, whether they be in corporate media, whether they
Speaker 1: be on the Supreme Court, whether they be on federal benches,
Speaker 1: whether they be governors of red States, whether they be
Speaker 1: secretaries of elections. They don't want democracy to continue. It
Speaker 1: is so fucking clear, right. It is clearer when the
Speaker 1: Washington Post decides that they're not going to endorse a
Speaker 1: presidential candidate for the first time since nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: It is clear when the La Times decides that they're
Speaker 1: not going to endorse a presidential candidate for the very
Speaker 1: first time. It is clear when NBC decides that they
Speaker 1: are not going to run a documentary from one of
Speaker 1: their own anchors about the children and the families that
Speaker 1: were separated at the border until after the election. It
Speaker 1: is clear when you have someone like Elon Musk, who
Speaker 1: is in private conversations with Vladimir Putin and other nation
Speaker 1: states about whether or not he'll flip the switch on
Speaker 1: starlink and stop Ukraine from being able to defend itself,
Speaker 1: or whether or not he is going to divulge his
Speaker 1: top secret clearance to you know, the highest fucking bidder
Speaker 1: who will put him in their admits imistration. Folks, we
Speaker 1: are up against so very much and just a handful
Speaker 1: of days to hold on to democracy. And here's what
Speaker 1: I will say. The Harris Walls team has run one
Speaker 1: of the best campaigns I have ever seen in my career.
Speaker 1: The loss of this election will not be because they
Speaker 1: didn't go into the right states, or they didn't do enough,
Speaker 1: or they didn't pull out all the stops. No, it won't.
Speaker 1: It will be because corporate mainstream media is complicit in
Speaker 1: the rise of fascism and Donald Trump because it is
Speaker 1: better for their bottom line. It'll be because the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court voted to provide Donald Trump the criminal, with absolute immunity,
Speaker 1: so that the next time that he got his hands
Speaker 1: on power, he never had to let go. Democracy isn't
Speaker 1: like a heartbeat that you don't have to think about
Speaker 1: it just kind of happens. Democracy is something that requires
Speaker 1: consistent vigilance because there will always be people who are
Speaker 1: working to undermine it. That's the lesson that we should
Speaker 1: all take from the last nine years is that if
Speaker 1: we pay attention, then things like Donald Trump don't happen. Right,
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump came to power because we were like, eh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of meant about Hillary Clinton. How
Speaker 1: bad could a Trump presidency be? You know, he was
Speaker 1: on the Apprentice, He's rich, so maybe he knows how
Speaker 1: to run the country. This is the fucking lie of
Speaker 1: capitalism too, by the way, which is this idea that
Speaker 1: because people have wealth that that somehow means that they're smart.
Speaker 1: It fucking doesn't. By the way, your wealth is not
Speaker 1: contingent upon how smart you are. And how smart you
Speaker 1: are is not contingent upon your wealth because there are
Speaker 1: very many, many, many people who are poor, people who
Speaker 1: know how to make a dollar out of fifteen cent,
Speaker 1: right because they've had to have a kind of resilience.
Speaker 1: That are the people that have been given a platinum
Speaker 1: spoon like a Donald Trump. Don't know that to me
Speaker 1: is smart. But because we equate intelligence with wealth, then
Speaker 1: if you're poor, well, then you must be stupid. That's
Speaker 1: how we the people give our power away, because they're
Speaker 1: the ones that fed us that line of bullshit to
Speaker 1: begin with. We know better, folks, right now about what
Speaker 1: is happening. You can see it everywhere. You can see
Speaker 1: it as clear as day that when you look at
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's economic plan one, his mass deportations would cause
Speaker 1: this country to careem into probably one of the worst
Speaker 1: depressions that we've ever seen. Don't take my word for it,
Speaker 1: I'm not an economist. You can take right the twenty
Speaker 1: three No Bell winning economists who have said so, who
Speaker 1: have said that Donald Trump's plans for this country in
Speaker 1: terms of tariffs will cost the average American person thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars thousands of dollars a year. So, folks, we
Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump is not a person that is
Speaker 1: for the middle class, for the working class, for any
Speaker 1: other class other than the top one percent. And what
Speaker 1: we are seeing with these decisions that are being made
Speaker 1: by the Bezos of the world and the Musts of
Speaker 1: the world, the American oligarchs, is that they're in control
Speaker 1: of what we know, what we see, and what we do.
Speaker 1: The fact is folks, we have to understand where our
Speaker 1: power actually lies, because these American oligarchs are showing us
Speaker 1: where their power is and they're wielding it. They're wielding
Speaker 1: it in a way that is turning us into a
Speaker 1: banana republic, turning us into no place that is any
Speaker 1: better than Russia with the Russian oligarchs that have drained
Speaker 1: the people of all of their income and resources. Also
Speaker 1: that the multi zillionaires and what have you can have
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand votes and seventeen thousand homes. Fuck the people, right.
Speaker 1: The people are a means to an end, and that
Speaker 1: is what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are showing us.
Speaker 1: And Mark Zuckerberg is not immune from this as well,
Speaker 1: because through his platform meta, he's ensuring that democracy and
Speaker 1: any mention of it, any mention of voting, any mention
Speaker 1: of gaza, any mention of the candidates, is suppressed. And
Speaker 1: you have to go into your own systems to make
Speaker 1: sure that you turn on the metric that says that
Speaker 1: you actually want political content, because Mark Zuckerberg has decided
Speaker 1: that you don't, and so you won't see it. So
Speaker 1: all of these places that are supposed to be tools
Speaker 1: of democracy have been weaponized against us, have been weaponized
Speaker 1: against the people, so that we are just walking around dumb,
Speaker 1: under educated because the places that we are choosing to
Speaker 1: get our information from are choosing to shrink what we see,
Speaker 1: shrink what we know, shrink what we have power for
Speaker 1: power over. I'm just I'm so frustrated, you know, as
Speaker 1: we close out this election, like, there are so many
Speaker 1: things that I wish were better about this country. I
Speaker 1: wish that we had gotten rid of the electoral college.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe in the twentieth century, that we would
Speaker 1: have decided that, you know what, this system doesn't actually
Speaker 1: work and it's really rigged, and that maybe Democrats would
Speaker 1: have started a ground campaign in the same way that say, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, the white evangelical Christians had decided to,
Speaker 1: you know, continue with their crusade to eventually overturn Roe v. Waite.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have started doing that about the electoral
Speaker 1: college and about the Supreme Court, just educating people little
Speaker 1: by little, showing them little by little that you know what,
Speaker 1: your vote would actually count more if the electoral college
Speaker 1: didn't exist, because then a person who lives in New
Speaker 1: York and has a vote and a person that lives
Speaker 1: in Ohio and has a vote, their vote would be
Speaker 1: weighed the same. There would be no such place as
Speaker 1: like battle ground right because each of our votes would count.
Speaker 1: You know, I people keep asking me, you know, who
Speaker 1: do I think is going to win? Do I think
Speaker 1: that Kamala is going to be able to pull it off?
Speaker 1: And friends, I have no idea. I wish that I did,
Speaker 1: because I would save myself and you all a whole
Speaker 1: lot of grief over the next couple of weeks. But
Speaker 1: I don't. I feel right now that everything is stacked
Speaker 1: against us, which is why I'm asking for peace people
Speaker 1: to do everything in anything that you can, whether it's donate,
Speaker 1: whether it's volunteer, whether it's had the hard conversations, just
Speaker 1: find out a way to get activated and do that.
Speaker 1: But it's like every lever of power is right now
Speaker 1: pulling for Donald Trump. Like, how do you already decide
Speaker 1: that you're going to upend democracy by not endorsing a
Speaker 1: candidate because you care about your government contracts more than
Speaker 1: you care about the people. And like, why the fuck
Speaker 1: does Amazon and like and Elon Musk is Starlink have
Speaker 1: these billion dollar contracts with the government anyway, do you
Speaker 1: know that Elon Musk has a one point eight billion
Speaker 1: dollar contract with the US government for Starlink and that
Speaker 1: our space you know, efforts rely on Elon Musk. And
Speaker 1: I said this in a live that I did on Friday.
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck about Mars. I cannot express
Speaker 1: that enough. And if you are a science buff, I
Speaker 1: you know my apologies. It's not that I don't care
Speaker 1: about exploration. It is that I care more about what
Speaker 1: is happening here on Earth, Like why are we going
Speaker 1: to explore other planets when we are fucking this one up?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. It don't make no sense. So
Speaker 1: you know, Elon Musk has fucking top secret clearance and
Speaker 1: he's on the phone with Vladimir Putin on a regular basis, Like,
Speaker 1: why don't we just shift all of our documents to
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin? Why don't we just save all the middleman,
Speaker 1: all of the all of the underhanded trouble and just
Speaker 1: send our shit directly to him, Because between Trump and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, that motherfucker has a map probably of all
Speaker 1: of our homes. Also that the United Time States can
Speaker 1: compete in some type of space race, give me a break, folks.
Speaker 1: Most recently in you know, and I bring all this
Speaker 1: to you about Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin because at
Speaker 1: the end of last week a story broke in the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal whose title is Elon Musk's Secret Conversations
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin. I spoke about it on Friday on
Speaker 1: Democracy Ish with Wajahat Ali. All of the ways in
Speaker 1: which Elon Musk has basically been given all the keys
Speaker 1: to the kingdom. In what democracy does a private citizen
Speaker 1: have the ability to have conversations with the world's dictators
Speaker 1: and decide what switch he's gonna flip and when to
Speaker 1: provide access to internet, access to satellite. I don't think
Speaker 1: that people understand how fucking dangerous Elon Musk is, how
Speaker 1: dangerous it is that this man has this much power
Speaker 1: and no one elected him. No one elected this man,
Speaker 1: and if Donald Trump becomes president, he's gonna be in
Speaker 1: the cabinet. Today's one of those days when I am really,
Speaker 1: really angry, and I don't want us to feel powerless.
Speaker 1: But I do understand what it feels like to feel powerless,
Speaker 1: because you know, I do these shows, all of these
Speaker 1: shows across all of these different platforms because I'm doing
Speaker 1: my best to educate and activate as many people as possible.
Speaker 1: But I'll never have the kind of platform where you know,
Speaker 1: millions and millions upon millions of people are tuning in
Speaker 1: because everything that I do gets suppressed, which is why
Speaker 1: I try and do so much, because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: maybe this will eek through, maybe this will eek through,
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding. From TikTok to Meta to X,
Speaker 1: a lot of the conversations, a lot of the podcasts
Speaker 1: that you hear, a lot of the shows that I do,
Speaker 1: get suppressed, right, So I try and change hearts and
Speaker 1: minds one person at a time, and I hope that
Speaker 1: the one person that may be tuned in maybe hips
Speaker 1: another person or two people to what they're hearing and
Speaker 1: what they're subscribing to. Every effort that I do is grassroots,
Speaker 1: because I've never been given write the keys to the
Speaker 1: kingdom in the way that so many milk toast motherfuckers have,
Speaker 1: because why because they're neutral. I was told years ago
Speaker 1: to stop being so controversial that I would have a
Speaker 1: lot more success, and I know that that is true,
Speaker 1: and you know, at another point in my life, I
Speaker 1: may have taken people up on it if I actually
Speaker 1: had money dangling in front of me, but I don't
Speaker 1: do this work for the money. I'm appreciative of what
Speaker 1: I have, but trust me, this type of political conversation
Speaker 1: does not pay. That's why I'm so grateful for the
Speaker 1: donations that come in in a variety of ways, because
Speaker 1: it's all of you that allow this work to keep going.
Speaker 1: But I also know that shows like mine and the
Speaker 1: work that I'm doing is on an egg timer right now.
Speaker 1: Because Donald Trump becomes president. Independent media is the enemy within.
Speaker 1: Mainstream media is the enemy within. People will be shut down,
Speaker 1: shut out, called the enemy of the state, docked. That
Speaker 1: will become the norm until you are silenced completely. I
Speaker 1: know this. That's why I'm trying to do everything that
Speaker 1: I can and the time that I have, because I
Speaker 1: know that it is limited. I just really hope that
Speaker 1: America is able to do what it did in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty all over again, but bigger. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if we will. I don't know if we will. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll pull it off. And it's again,
Speaker 1: it's not because of the lack of effort and work,
Speaker 1: and you know, connections that the Harris Walls team is doing,
Speaker 1: it is because of all of the entities that are
Speaker 1: against us, that are against democracy, that are against the people.
Speaker 1: So I implore you to do everything that you can
Speaker 1: with the time that we have left to get democracy
Speaker 1: over the finish line, because we're in for the fight
Speaker 1: of our lives and you know, I'm scared, I will
Speaker 1: admit that, but there's no way to truly prepare for
Speaker 1: what is coming. All we can do is educate, activate,
Speaker 1: and have faith that those actions that we are taking
Speaker 1: will be the difference maker in this election, and we
Speaker 1: can finally, for once and for all, say goodbye and
Speaker 1: go to hell to Donald Trump. That is it for
Speaker 1: me today, Dear friends on Woke af AS always, Power
Speaker 1: to the people and to all the people. Power, Get
Speaker 1: woke and stay woke as fuck.
