Speaker 1: Good morning, Peevesen. Welcome to wik f Daily with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: it is September. Happy September. I know that it is
Speaker 1: September fourth, but we've been on holiday, and I hope
Speaker 1: that you are coming back from your holiday feeling rested
Speaker 1: and restored and rejuvenated for the march till the election.
Speaker 1: You know, I will say this before I dive into
Speaker 1: the news that I enjoyed this summer. I think at
Speaker 1: once the change was made in the ticket, I began
Speaker 1: to feel a sense of rejuvenation and excitement in a
Speaker 1: way that I haven't around my work in particular, but
Speaker 1: outside of my work personally, this was lovely and I
Speaker 1: hope that yours was as well. I was able to travel,
Speaker 1: spend time with friends and family, and just really enjoy myself.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the last couple of summers since COVID,
Speaker 1: like the last god three summers, have just been up
Speaker 1: in the air, and I don't again, I don't think
Speaker 1: that I've reflected on how much summer had presented a
Speaker 1: lot of obstacles and anxiety and stress since COVID until now,
Speaker 1: and so I feel like this summer for me was
Speaker 1: the most back to normal summer that I've had in years,
Speaker 1: and so it was delightful and I hope that yours
Speaker 1: was as well. That being said, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: Let me look it up, folks, because I haven't looked
Speaker 1: because I've been on vacation. How many days until election day?
Speaker 1: By the time that you guys are listening to this,
Speaker 1: Oh dear one day? Sixty one days until election day?
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, that is like roughly two months until the election.
Speaker 1: And you know, a question for all of you, and
Speaker 1: do let me know in the comment section on the
Speaker 1: video that you're watching this. If you are one of
Speaker 1: my sabulous and dedicated Patreon subscribers and you're watching this video,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling with sixty one days to go
Speaker 1: until election day? What I will say is that if
Speaker 1: you all have been watching my new YouTube channel, which
Speaker 1: I am totally going to promote at Danielle Moody Underscore,
Speaker 1: just type in in YouTube Danielle Moody channel and boom
Speaker 1: there you will see me and you can subscribe. Please do,
Speaker 1: because I am growing over there because I think that
Speaker 1: the future is video and that's where I'm putting a
Speaker 1: lot of my energy, shorter video forms and just really
Speaker 1: to the point conversations. But what I will say say
Speaker 1: is that mainstream corporate media continues to reveal to the
Speaker 1: American people exactly who they are and what they find important.
Speaker 1: And what they find important is not in educating the
Speaker 1: citizenury is not in connecting the dots for people to
Speaker 1: make informed decisions about their lives. What they care about
Speaker 1: is clicks. What they care about is clickbait. What they
Speaker 1: care about is providing on ramps to Donald Trump, to
Speaker 1: white supremacy, patriarchy, and fascism. Why do I say that?
Speaker 1: Have you all checked out some of these fucking headlines
Speaker 1: coming out of the New York Times and the Washington
Speaker 1: Post and Politico and other spaces where the questions that
Speaker 1: are being asked about Kamala Harrison, the articles like the
Speaker 1: one that I saw at Political following the CNN conversation
Speaker 1: with Dana Bash, which was Dana Bash Jesus fucking Christ.
Speaker 1: Between her and Tapper, I don't know who is a
Speaker 1: worst journalist. Frankly, maybe it's a tie. But to ask
Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States, a reframed Republican
Speaker 1: talking point, but just putting a question mark at the
Speaker 1: end of it and saying, well, Donald Trump a white supremacist,
Speaker 1: which is how I would frame it, said that you're
Speaker 1: not black. What do you say to that? And her
Speaker 1: response was same old tired playbook, next question, and Dana
Speaker 1: Bashwist is like, oh, wait a minute, we're not going
Speaker 1: to unpack this, like you mean that you're not going
Speaker 1: to define right and have to define your race, your
Speaker 1: ethnicity to this white man, like, how dare you? Politico
Speaker 1: then responds with Kamala Harris evades question on identity, Fuck you,
Speaker 1: Politico and the New York Times in Washington Post all
Speaker 1: follow suit. Let me tell you something. Our job as
Speaker 1: black people and people of color in this country is
Speaker 1: not to fucking answer the questions of white supremacists and
Speaker 1: having to define who we are through their racist, fucking lens.
Speaker 1: Those days are done and over with. I am not
Speaker 1: explaining myself to you, to people who choose to not
Speaker 1: understand to begin with. Tony Morrison and I have said
Speaker 1: this quote before, has said that the pure form, the
Speaker 1: defining point of racism is distraction. It leaves you having
Speaker 1: to define over and over again your humanity We're not
Speaker 1: doing that anymore. This is not pre fucking nineteen fifty four.
Speaker 1: This is not a time when I am going to
Speaker 1: have to once again, instead of moving progress forward, moving
Speaker 1: the needle forward, I'm gonna have to sit in space
Speaker 1: and exist backwards to define who the fuck I am
Speaker 1: to you. No, so let me tell you how much
Speaker 1: I appreciated the Vice president being like next question, I
Speaker 1: am not a ringmaster and I'm not entertaining the fucking circus.
Speaker 1: And then all you see from then on are once
Speaker 1: again these questions about her identity, which is clear. You
Speaker 1: can be both fucking and and you think that white
Speaker 1: supremacists who populated this nation through rape, creating all different
Speaker 1: variations of blackness in order to have increased labor, would
Speaker 1: fucking understand that. Okay, so miss me with it. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: the other piece that is happening is this question around
Speaker 1: the vice president's policies, and where are the policies. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Google it because she has put them on
Speaker 1: her website. Economic policies, policies to move our education system forward,
Speaker 1: policies for reproductive justice. But there are no questions about
Speaker 1: where Donald Trump's policies are. There was no questions about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's mental acuity when he goes off on tangents
Speaker 1: talking about Hannibal Lecter and electric sharks. It's the same old,
Speaker 1: same old tired shit when it comes to mainstream corporate media.
Speaker 1: Which is why I say again to folks, I appreciate
Speaker 1: you all supporting independent media and independent voices that are
Speaker 1: not bought and sold. And what I want more and
Speaker 1: more is for people to divest from these mainstream quote
Speaker 1: unquote legacy media outlets that are not there to serve you.
Speaker 1: And so when I tell folks, take five people with you.
Speaker 1: You go over to my new YouTube channel, send it
Speaker 1: to five folks, just say hey, have you checked this
Speaker 1: out right? Boom boom boom text message, because that is
Speaker 1: how we shift the momentum. That is how we show
Speaker 1: mainstream legacy media, you know what, we don't actually need
Speaker 1: you because you're not serving us. You're no longer at
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of where we perceive information to come from.
Speaker 1: You're no longer the source because you've shown yourself time
Speaker 1: and time again to be absolutely fucking obsolete. And so
Speaker 1: when we look at where things are right now in
Speaker 1: this race, and we see that in some places, I
Speaker 1: think there was another article. I don't remember which outlet
Speaker 1: it came out of and whether it was The Post
Speaker 1: or the New York Times, but essentially it was saying
Speaker 1: Harris doesn't have post debate bump. Then you go into
Speaker 1: the article, y'all three paragraphs down. Oh, they don't count
Speaker 1: a bump because it has been with women. So there
Speaker 1: has been a bump. It's been with people of color,
Speaker 1: black women. Their voter registration is up one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy five percent. One hundred and seventy five percent. That's
Speaker 1: not a consistent news story. The gap between women voters
Speaker 1: that are thirty and younger between Trump and Harris is
Speaker 1: at like thirty percentage points vantage Harris. Oh, but that's
Speaker 1: not a bum because apparently, again when mainstream corporate media
Speaker 1: is talking about the bump, apparently it only happens if
Speaker 1: you have it with white men, because in every other category,
Speaker 1: guess who people are voting for Kamala Harris when asked
Speaker 1: in the polls. But here's what I will continue to say.
Speaker 1: I don't care if the polls are good. I don't
Speaker 1: care if the polls are What I care about is
Speaker 1: the voting booth. Everyone goes into on November fifth, or
Speaker 1: when your early voting starts in your state, which folks,
Speaker 1: you can google and find out, because in many places
Speaker 1: it is starting at the end of this month or
Speaker 1: the beginning of October. Folks don't have to wait until
Speaker 1: November fifth in order to go vote, particularly if you
Speaker 1: don't have the day off. If you are unable to
Speaker 1: take that time, google when is early voting in my
Speaker 1: state begin? And check now again to make sure, particularly
Speaker 1: if you are living in Red states, that you are
Speaker 1: still registered to vote. Do not take for granted and think, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I voted in twenty twenty or I voted in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, so I must be good now. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, nineteen million people have been scrubbed from the
Speaker 1: voter rolls since the twenty twenty election, And if you
Speaker 1: are not someone who has found themselves voting in off
Speaker 1: cycle meaning non presidential election years, then there is a
Speaker 1: chance that you have been scrubbed from those roles. So
Speaker 1: make sure. Because a lot of these Red states, if
Speaker 1: not all of them, do not have same day registration,
Speaker 1: meaning that you can sign up and register to vote
Speaker 1: and vote that very same day. They have made it
Speaker 1: a lot more complicated and convoluted for people to be
Speaker 1: able to do. So, do not find yourself caught out,
Speaker 1: and do not just think about yourself, think about your family,
Speaker 1: your friends, your colleagues. Also, what I learned most recently
Speaker 1: in my state of New York, which is that if
Speaker 1: you have a sixteen year old or a seventeen year
Speaker 1: old in your life, you can take them, send them
Speaker 1: the link, or take them to register to vote. And
Speaker 1: guess what, when they turn eighteen, they don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about registering. They're automatically boomed, ready to go. So
Speaker 1: there are always things for us to be doing because folks,
Speaker 1: there are always people working to steal your vote, So
Speaker 1: make sure that you are prepared. So going back to
Speaker 1: where we find ourselves, we are but six days less
Speaker 1: than a week away from the first debate, donald Trump's
Speaker 1: second debate, but the vice president's first debate with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And also what we learned in that horrid interview on
Speaker 1: CNN is that Kamala Harris has never met Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump has never met Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: I find this really interesting because that son of a
Speaker 1: bitch didn't show up at inauguration because he was too
Speaker 1: busy trying to overthrow the election in twenty twenty. So
Speaker 1: he was the first president not to show up the
Speaker 1: peaceful transition of power, which is why we continue to
Speaker 1: find ourselves in the fuckery that we are in. I
Speaker 1: am gonna be interested to see how Donald Trump tries
Speaker 1: to throw his size and his weight around when he
Speaker 1: meets Kamala Harris, because I think that, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a lie. I too have
Speaker 1: never seen Donald Trump in real life, and I hope
Speaker 1: that that continues. But I think that he's what like
Speaker 1: six foot tall. Maybe I don't know, because that too
Speaker 1: could be a lie. But he's definitely huge, right in
Speaker 1: terms of size, Like, He's definitely a big man. And
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be interested to see what that physical
Speaker 1: matchup looks like because a lot of people are visual
Speaker 1: in terms of what presents and looks like quote unquote power. Now,
Speaker 1: I will tell you, Kamala Harris to me, looks like
Speaker 1: a woman not to be fun with. And there are
Speaker 1: particular looks, there is a particular tone that she offers,
Speaker 1: and I think that we are going to see a
Speaker 1: projection of strength from her that one she has continued
Speaker 1: to exude on the campaign trail, but I think that
Speaker 1: we're in for something very special on September tenth. So
Speaker 1: things that I will be looking for as we lead
Speaker 1: up to that are sharper rhetoric, sharper tone. I think
Speaker 1: that she will continue to really hammer and go after
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the days leading up to this debate
Speaker 1: because it will rattle him. They did decide on muted microphones,
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because I just I believe that there
Speaker 1: is just one more button to push with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: before he says the N word. Not like anyone would
Speaker 1: honestly care, and probably mainstream corporate media wouldn't even report
Speaker 1: on it, to be honest, But you know, you know
Speaker 1: that he's dying to say it. Right. It's like Jack
Speaker 1: Nicholson and a few good men, I ordered the code,
Speaker 1: write Yeah, I can say the end word. I can
Speaker 1: do whatever the fuck I want, right, just like Nancy
Speaker 1: Mace was on CNN saying that I can call Kamala
Speaker 1: whatever it is that I want. That is white supremacy,
Speaker 1: and so you know that it's going to be on
Speaker 1: full display. But my hope is that she does not
Speaker 1: spend her time trying to fact check or debunk Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's claims in real time, that she just projects herself
Speaker 1: what she knows, what she will do, and serves as
Speaker 1: a stark contrast and very dismissive to the fuckera that
Speaker 1: will be to her left or to her right. What
Speaker 1: I think is really important as we are sixty one
Speaker 1: days away, folks, is that we continue to do whatever
Speaker 1: it is that we can. If you have been donating,
Speaker 1: double those donations if you have the ability to do so.
Speaker 1: If you have been phone banking, double the time that
Speaker 1: you are spending phone banking text messaging, if you have
Speaker 1: been in holding house parties and zoom calls and joining those,
Speaker 1: make sure that you were again bringing people with you.
Speaker 1: We are going to need to show up in numbers
Speaker 1: that are not going to be up for debate. As
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama has said, the time that we have to
Speaker 1: do something right is sixty one days. After that, it
Speaker 1: is going to be up to the counters, and god
Speaker 1: forbid the fucking courts, because what we don't want is
Speaker 1: a replay of two thousand and those hanging fucking chads
Speaker 1: or pregnant chads that had the Supreme Court decide our
Speaker 1: election for us because we know that that is exactly
Speaker 1: what the Trump team wants, and if it is going
Speaker 1: to be left to that maga right wing white supremacist
Speaker 1: grifting as court, we know exactly what is going to happen.
Speaker 1: So in order for that not to happen, we need
Speaker 1: the numbers to be bigger than they were in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: We need them to be outsized. And that is going
Speaker 1: to involve not just us thinking about us, but us
Speaker 1: thinking about our community and making sure that that community
Speaker 1: is ready to go. We can sleep on November sixth
Speaker 1: in shallah, right like we can sleep then. But until then, folks,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need us to roll up every sleeve. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna need us to wipe the sweat off of our brow.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need us to stand up straight and do something,
Speaker 1: do the work that is going to get this ticket,
Speaker 1: Harris Wallt's ticket over the finish line. Because as I
Speaker 1: continue to listen to these quote unquote audio leaks, and
Speaker 1: they're not leaks, folks of jd Vance speaking his mind.
Speaker 1: He did the circuit, He did the right wing misogynistic
Speaker 1: podcast circuit. I mean it was like the man had
Speaker 1: no other job during this time, because he might as
Speaker 1: well have been a podcast host. That's how many podcasts
Speaker 1: that he showed up on to talk and disparage women,
Speaker 1: childless women in particular, perry menopausal postmenopausal women in particular.
Speaker 1: His latest scourge are the fact that women don't want
Speaker 1: to be working ninety hours a week and that everybody
Speaker 1: is miserable and what would make them happy is apparently
Speaker 1: to sit at home with aprons on just cooking and
Speaker 1: cleaning and not worrying about that pesky thing called independence,
Speaker 1: which to me is so wild because up until recently
Speaker 1: his wife works at a law firm, most likely working
Speaker 1: eighty hours are so a week. It is not as
Speaker 1: if his wife is sitting home fucking baking cookies and
Speaker 1: waiting for jd Vance to walk home. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: these men clearly need therapy, clearly have issues with the
Speaker 1: women in their lives, and they take it out on
Speaker 1: all of the other women in this country through policy.
Speaker 1: And so we are very clear because again when jd
Speaker 1: Vance is for the opportunity which has been extended to
Speaker 1: him at nauseum from mainstream corporate media to backtrack on
Speaker 1: the things that he has so clearly articulated on all
Speaker 1: of these podcasts, he refuses to do so and doubles down.
Speaker 1: So you know what the role of women will be
Speaker 1: in a Trump Vance administration. This is why the numbers
Speaker 1: and the gap between men and women in this election
Speaker 1: and who they say in the polls that they're voting for,
Speaker 1: is so wide, because, let me tell you something, thirty
Speaker 1: something year old women and above or below do not
Speaker 1: want to go back to a time where they have
Speaker 1: no voice, no vote, no economic power, and their only
Speaker 1: service to this country is to be a host body
Speaker 1: for a bunch of white babies. That is not the
Speaker 1: role that women want. You know. The last thing that
Speaker 1: I'll say before I close out is that I finally
Speaker 1: got to watching the third season of Brigittin I kind
Speaker 1: of save it for when, like I really just you know,
Speaker 1: want to truly binge, Like I don't necessarily like to
Speaker 1: watch it while everybody else is watching it. I'd sometimes
Speaker 1: like to save it. So I watched it over the weekend,
Speaker 1: over the Labor Day holiday, and you know, I really
Speaker 1: loved the ending. And this is not spoiler alert, let
Speaker 1: me just say that if you are like me and
Speaker 1: you hadn't watched it yet, but at this point I
Speaker 1: think most people have is that Penelope gets married, becomes
Speaker 1: a brigiton, and now her husband wants her to give
Speaker 1: up writing, to give up her voice, and in you know,
Speaker 1: one of the last scenes, she's like, you're a man,
Speaker 1: you get to do whatever it is that you want.
Speaker 1: This is my power, right, this is my voice, is
Speaker 1: the ability to write, and it's not just gossip, right,
Speaker 1: it is my opinion. And so you think about the
Speaker 1: raws that women have had, right, this is you know,
Speaker 1: nineteenth century is I think when Bridgeton is taking place,
Speaker 1: and the only aspiration that women had was to marry
Speaker 1: well and that would then set them up. But if
Speaker 1: in fact they only gave birth to girls or their
Speaker 1: husbands died, they were once again fucked in destitute. So
Speaker 1: that is the place that Trump and his misogynistic ill
Speaker 1: want women to go back to. This place of dependence.
Speaker 1: There is no difference between what they are offering to
Speaker 1: women and what has happened in Afghanistan now that the
Speaker 1: Taliban has taken over. We love to look at other
Speaker 1: countries and say, oh my god, look at their treatment
Speaker 1: of women. Tell me what the difference is? What because
Speaker 1: women in the United States right now are able to
Speaker 1: drive and are able to go to school. But if
Speaker 1: you look at what is happening since these measures have
Speaker 1: been overturned, like affirmative action, you're seeing the numbers of
Speaker 1: people of color totally drop in higher education institutions. And
Speaker 1: you will see the same thing happen with women. They
Speaker 1: want this slow rollback that it's not going to be
Speaker 1: so slow if they are given the opportunity to get
Speaker 1: into the White House again. So I say to women
Speaker 1: and men, you have a choice in this upcoming election.
Speaker 1: The world is changing, it is evolving, and sometimes that
Speaker 1: change in that evolution does present friction. Change is hard.
Speaker 1: No one is saying that it is easy. But I
Speaker 1: will be honest with you. I'm not going back. I'm
Speaker 1: not going backwards. I'm not giving up this mic. I'm
Speaker 1: not giving up my space, I'm not giving up my voice.
Speaker 1: You will have to pride this out of my fucking hands.
Speaker 1: And I believe that a majority of women believe the same.
Speaker 1: He did not come this far only to get this far,
Speaker 1: and so we have to fight for it like we
Speaker 1: mean it. That is it for me today, dear friends
Speaker 1: on WOKF, I will say again, please please please check
