1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, Recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, y'all,

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: it is a brand new day out here in these

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: political streets, and I, for one, could not be happier.

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: I will say that the mustard seed of hope that

6
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: I carry around in my pocket may have doubled. It

7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: may have doubled, It may not just be one and

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: maybe two right now because I am seeing the energy

9
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: that has been missing from the Biden campaign. I am

10
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: seeing the energy that we have been desperately needed to

11
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: get people engaged in this existential election. And you know,

12
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: you all know that I was a supporter of Joe

13
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: Biden not stepping aside because of the deep fear that

14
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I had that Democrats were going to do what it

15
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: is that they've always been good at, which is eating

16
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: their own and turning what should have been an easy

17
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: move into something that devolved into chaos. But Lord Jesus,

18
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: am I fucking happy that as of the time of

19
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: this recording, countless countless Democrats institutions, you know, organizations, have

20
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: come out following Joe Biden's full throated endorsement of Kamala

21
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Harris to back her. It is extraordinary. First of all,

22
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: the amount of money that is said to have been raised,

23
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: according to Act Blue that I think maybe in triple

24
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: figures in terms of the millions of grassroots donations that

25
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: poured in following the announcement that there were forty four

26
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: thousand black women that gathered on a Zoom call. The

27
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: Zoom call was so big that the organizer, Joe Taika

28
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Edie of Win with Black Women, had to get on

29
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: the phone with the president of Zoom and say we

30
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: need more capacity and in that time raised a million

31
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: and a half dollars and other commitments. I mean, the

32
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: forces folks are coming together, and folks are gathering, and

33
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: I feel like we can once ag again set our

34
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: sights on what seems so distant before, which is actually

35
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: fucking winning. I also want to say that we cannot

36
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: understate the courage, the patriotism that it took Joe Biden.

37
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Whether or not he was pushed. I didn't like the

38
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: airing of dirty laundry and the things that were being

39
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: said about him in public. I don't think that he

40
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: deserved it. However, the fact is that Joe Biden did

41
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump would never ever ever do, which has

42
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: put his country above his ego and his belief that

43
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: only he alone could get the job done. In beating

44
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The best thing that Joe Biden did, I believe,

45
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: for his legacy was to step aside and say she

46
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: got next. And you know, I will tell you I

47
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: will recall this memory to you all because it came

48
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: back to me when the announcement came out on Sunday.

49
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: That on Sunday, I did MSNBC for a hot minute,

50
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, giving my take on the announcement and where

51
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: things stood. And I realized that five years prior, when

52
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: then candidate Kamala Harris announced her bid for the presidency,

53
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I was on the set of MSNBC, and the sense

54
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: of pride and excitement that I had in that moment

55
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: was overwhelming. Right because I grew up reading about the

56
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: great Shirley you know who's campaign in the seventies set

57
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: the stage for that moment that another black woman, so

58
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: many decades later would come out and say I can

59
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: do this job. And so to think right now, and

60
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: I may get a little bit choked up to think

61
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: right now that in three and a half months we

62
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to have not only our first woman president,

63
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: but our first Black woman, our first Asian woman president

64
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: is extraordinary. I mean to think, friends, like, let's just

65
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: dream for a moment, write something that I have not

66
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: been able to do because I've been riddled with so

67
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: many nightmares, so many sleepless nights, as I know that

68
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: so many of you have. But let's just dream for

69
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: a moment what the poetic justice would look and feel

70
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: like that white supremacy, fascism, patriarchy would be beat back

71
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: and down by a black woman, and the wave of

72
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: support for democracy and for her that would usher us

73
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: over the finish line, that we could beat that motherfucker

74
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: down for once and for all, right, because one would

75
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: have to understand that this is Donald Trump, not white supremacy.

76
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: As I said back in twenty sixteen, this is Donald

77
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Trump's last stand. Because understand that if Donald Trump were

78
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: to become President of the United States again, that if

79
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: he would ever leave office, which I don't believe that

80
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: he fucking would, he would be older than Joe Biden

81
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: is now. So we know for certain that if we

82
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: gather and organize with the vigor and the persistence and

83
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the commitment to resist their bloodthirst for authoritarianism. If we

84
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: are able to do that, we never have to hear

85
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: the name Donald J. Trump again as it is associated

86
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: with running for president, because that motherfucker will be too

87
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: fucking old. And we already know that he is showing

88
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the signs that people felt so necessary to put into

89
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: the spotlight for Joe Biden, but seemingly ignore Donald Trump

90
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: falling asleep at his own convention, Donald Trump falling asleep

91
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: at his own court hearings, right, Donald Trump messing up

92
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: names and stuttering and not walking as great as he

93
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: used to. That we ignore all of those things as

94
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: it pertains to him, but we also know, good goddamn well,

95
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: then in a few more years, he's going to look

96
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: and sound his age. So if we are able to

97
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: knock down their messiah, right, the victory that we will

98
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: feel for having beat him twice and knowing that the

99
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is that Project twenty twenty five,

100
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: as I've said so many times, is just going to

101
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: turn into Project twenty twenty eight. The billionaire backers of

102
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: this white supremacist patriarchal blueprint are not going to go away.

103
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: They'll just find new person but what I also know

104
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: to be true is that that person won't have the

105
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: same charisma or cult like captivating effect on the masses

106
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: in the way that Donald Trump has. And why do

107
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: I say that, because not one of the people that

108
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: ran against him this time around even came fucking close.

109
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: So it is much more likely that you will find

110
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: that whoever comes in his steed will embody the same values,

111
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: but they'll just switch up their tone, which may not

112
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: garner as much cult like fixation as Donald Trump has

113
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: been able to amass over the last eight years. So

114
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: what we have in front of us, friends right now

115
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: is a profound opportunity to do away with Donald J.

116
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: Fucking Trump, and let it be done by a black

117
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: woman that is going to prosecute the case against this man.

118
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: As Vice President Kamala Harris has put out, I've prosecuted

119
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: sex offenders, Donald Trump is one. I've prosecuted frauds and

120
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: fraudulent universities. Donald Trump ran one the people that she

121
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: spent as a DA and later as an Attorney general

122
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: fighting against Donald Trump embodies, So she ain't new to this.

123
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: She is true to this and.

124
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: The way that other district attorneys and ags led by

125
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: Tis James have said, Oh, we're rallying our support around her,

126
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: the way that black women across this country, the Aka's,

127
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: the divine nine of the country are going to rally

128
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: behind her.

129
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just think of this, folks, Kamala Harris as

130
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: a nominee inter sex with so many different communities women,

131
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: black people, Jamaicans, Caribbean folks, AAPI folks, write lawyers, HBCU graduates.

132
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: There are so many communities that see themselves in her

133
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: and in what it means right to be an American.

134
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: And I said this in the live that I did

135
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday and a follow up TikTok video that I did,

136
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: both of which have gone viral, which is that we

137
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: have seeded patriotism to these motherfuckers. We have ceded the

138
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: flag to them. And I said, they don't know what

139
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: it's like to bleed for this country because their ancestors

140
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: bled others for this country. They don't know what it

141
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: means to fight and to persist when discriminatory policies are

142
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: put in your way like boulders, year after year, generation

143
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: after generation. We do. They want this country to go

144
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: back to the nineteenth century where only white cis hetero

145
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: property owning men had voice and power in this democracy.

146
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris, her candidacy right now is a commitment

147
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: to the fact that we will not go back because

148
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: she is representative of the future of what this country

149
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: is going to look like. You see, we have been

150
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: talking about for so long that the demographics of this

151
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: country are shifting that by the time that we get

152
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: to and probably sooner than twenty fifty, the majority of

153
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: this country will be people of color, will be people

154
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: that look like Vice President Kamala Harris. It is one

155
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: of the things that has spurred the resurgence of white supremacy.

156
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: And these folks talking about they will not replace us,

157
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: and these folks talking about tainting the blood of this

158
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: nation because they are trying to revitalize white supremacy in

159
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: the way that it was so prevalent in the nineteenth

160
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: and in the twentieth century. They're marching down streets in

161
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee and other places, trying to conjure fear but also

162
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: conjuring how they plan to govern through a place of weaponization,

163
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: fear mongering, and oppression. While the RNC circus wanted us

164
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: to believe that, oh, Donald Trump is just a doting

165
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: grandpa who loves to grab women by the pussy. So,

166
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: miss me with the bullshit, I don't care how many

167
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: fucking grandkids you wanted to tout up on that stage

168
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: to tell some fucking you know sob story of Donald

169
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: Trump's some heartening. I just know him as grandpa, bitch.

170
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: You don't know him at all. He don't even know

171
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: his own kids, right, like, miss me with it. But

172
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: folks are falling for it because it was compelling. But

173
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: now you really do have somebody who is high the

174
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: ability to articulate the truth of what we are seeing

175
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: and what we know. Donald Trump hates women, Donald Trump

176
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: hates people of color, Donald Trump hates black people. Donald

177
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Trump hates poor people. And if you're a billionaire, anyone

178
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: who isn't is poor. Donald Trump sat a bunch of

179
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: gas and oil CEOs down at mar A Lago and said,

180
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: give me a billion dollars and I'll overturn whatever regulations

181
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has put in place. It would be the

182
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: greatest grifting presidency that we've ever seen. Do me a favor, though,

183
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: on steroids. The American people know what to expect this

184
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: time around, but it will be worse because we've lived

185
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: through it. And so while they wanted to hide pieces

186
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: of their agenda because they know that it's not popular,

187
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris has the ability to bring that

188
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: to the forefront. One of my favorite things that are

189
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: being circulated right now, and if you haven't seen it,

190
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I've retweeted it recently, is Hillary Clinton just posted the

191
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: clip of then Senator Kamala Harris questioning Brett kavanag during

192
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: his Supreme Court confirmation hearings. You know, the one where

193
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: she basically made him freak out, cry and start screaming

194
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: when she asked a simple question to open up with

195
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: was do you know of any laws in this country

196
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: that dictate male reproduction that control men's bodies? And after stumbling,

197
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean. If you want to

198
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: ask me a direct question, she go let me restate it,

199
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: because you clearly can't hear me questioning. Then let us

200
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: know exactly what we were dealing with, foreshadowing to what

201
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: we would lose. But a handful of years later, abortion access.

202
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: She knows men like Donald Trump, She's put them in jail.

203
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: And my hope is that she and the surrogates of

204
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party now rally around her, build a fortress

205
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: around her, because we know the misogyn noir that is

206
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: headed her way is going to be like a tsunami

207
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: of vitriol. But they're ready because I've said this before.

208
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: I said it on my other podcast, The New Abnormal.

209
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: I said, the thing about folks lamenting about what's coming

210
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: is that black women are always prepared. Every time we

211
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: leave our house, there is a layer of armor that

212
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: is put on because of the mass aggressions than the

213
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: microaggressions that we receive on a daily basis, whether it's

214
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: on social media, in the workplace, from television, et cetera,

215
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: et cetera. It comes at us from all angles. We

216
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: are not new to this and what America thinks about

217
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Black women. But I'll tell you what, don't ever fucking

218
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: bet against us, because we don't lose, particularly when we

219
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: organize and link arms like we are known to do,

220
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: and like what was done within hours of that announcement.

221
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: Three and a half months, folks is going to feel

222
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: probably like three and a half centuries, we are going

223
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: to go through it. So I urge all of us

224
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: to take the hopefulness, the strength that we are gaining,

225
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: regaining in this moment. Plant it, water it, grow it,

226
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: because we are going to need it. Every single fucking

227
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: one of us has a stake in this election. We

228
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: need to act like we do. We need to donate.

229
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: If you have the ability to donate, if you have

230
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the time to volunteer, volunteer. It's time to knock on doors.

231
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: It's time to make phone calls. It's time to text,

232
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: it's time to donate, it's time to organize voter registrations.

233
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: It's time to hold right. If you are a white

234
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: woman and you are listening to this right now, I

235
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: want you to be gathering, doing salons at your homes,

236
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: hosting events right. I want white women to put in

237
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: the fucking work that they did not put in in

238
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. More white women voted for

239
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in twenty twenty than they did in twenty sixteen.

240
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: So I need those right that are listening to me

241
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: now to do the work and it it doesn't mean

242
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: just donating. And I want to pull up someone who

243
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I respect so much, who is Shannon Watts. And Shannon

244
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: is the founder of Mom's Demand and the co founder

245
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: of every Town, and she has been on this show before.

246
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: I've interviewed her a couple of times, and she said this.

247
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Following the announcement of VP Harris as the top of

248
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the ticket, she tweeted this, fellow white women, I've spent

249
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: the last decade organizing you, and I know firsthand the

250
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: impact you can have when you use your economic and

251
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: political power for good. This must be the election when

252
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: a majority of us help elect the first woman, a

253
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: black woman president. That means, as Brittany Pacnett Cunningham, another

254
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: guest of this show, has said, your whiteness will not

255
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: sit you from what the patriarchy has in store for you.

256
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Electing the vice president will help save you and heal

257
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: the nation. Since the nineteen fifties, a majority of white

258
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: women have voted for the GOP candidate in all but

259
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: two presidential elections. It's not enough to be a part

260
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: of the forty seven percent of white women who vote

261
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: for VP Harris. You play a key role in persuading

262
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: the other fifty three percent. And she goes on. She

263
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: goes on to tell folks that like you need to

264
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: do the work right. She said, it's not enough to

265
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: just send a donation, host a fundraiser. It's not enough

266
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: to just vote. Join door knocking and phone banking events

267
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: every week. It's not enough to support the VP. Silently

268
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: push back on every person who tells you a black

269
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: woman can't get elected. Have the conversations. You are the

270
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: best messenger to convince other white women who to vote

271
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: for and n why your relationships with your white family

272
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: members and friends are fertile ground for transformation and conversion.

273
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Start persuading, use your privilege for good. Tap into the

274
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: resources you can access and unleash to help the VP.

275
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: Can you get a rally permit? Can you rent a venue?

276
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Can you become an influencer online or in your community?

277
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Think about all the ways you can use your access

278
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: to help elect the VP. Be in it for the

279
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: long haul. That that is what allyship looks like. That

280
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: is what commitment to justice looks like. She gave concrete

281
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: ways for white women to do the work that black

282
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: women always do. And so if you are listening to me,

283
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: I beg you to listen to Shannon Watts. Figure out

284
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: what you can do, organize, do it every week. We

285
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: got three and a half months, and for the first

286
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: time in a long time, my dear friends, I believe

287
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: that We have a fighting fucking chance if we all

288
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: get to work. That is it for me today. Dear

289
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: friends on wok af As always, power to the people

290
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay

291
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
