WEBVTT - We Need a Landslide

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peepsend Welcome to wok F Daily with Meet

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Some news just broke as I was about to come

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>on air, and I want to bring it up for

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>all of you. Obviously, by the time of this recording

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you will have seen it already, but it's worth noting. So.

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>The European Union has issued a letter, a formal letter

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>their upcoming interview the UN Warren's quote of legal obligations

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>if Musk does not take action to prevent the spread

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>of disinformation, I'll read you a part of of this letter.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Dear mister Musk, I am writing to you in the

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>context of recent events in the United Kingdom and in

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>relation to the plan broadcast on your platform X of

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a live conversation between a US presidential candidate and yourself,

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>which will also be accessible to users in the EU.

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I understand that you are currently doing a stress test

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of the platform. In this context, I am compelled to

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>remind you of the due diligence obligations set out in

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the Digital Service Act DSA, as outlined in my previous letter.

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>As the individual entity ultimately controlling a platform with over

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>three hundred million users worldwide, of which one third in

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the EU, that has been designated a very large online platform,

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you have the legal obligation to ensure x's compliance with

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>EU law and in particular the DSA In the EU.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>This notably means ensuring on one hand that freedom of

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>expression and of information, including media freedom and pluralism, are

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>effectively protected, and on the other hand, that all proportionate

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding the

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>amplification of harmful content and connection with relevant events including

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>live streaming, which if unaddressed, might increase the risk profile

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of X and generate detrimental effects on civic discourse and

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>public security. This is important against the background of recent

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>example of public unrest brought about by amplification of content

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of disinformation. The letter continues, it also implies one informing

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>EU judicial and administrative authorities without undue delay on the

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>measures taken to address their orders against content considered illegal

0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>according to national and or EU law. Two taking timely, diligent,

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>non arbitrary and objective action upon receipt of notices by

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>users considering certain content illegal. Number three informing users concerning

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the measures taken upon receipt of the relevant notice, and

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>number four publicly reporting about content moderation measures. In this respect,

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I note that the DSA obligations apply without exception or

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>discrimination to the moderation of the whole user community and

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>content of X, including yourself as a user with over

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ninety million followers, which is accessible to

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>EU users and should be fulfilled in line with the

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>risk based approach of the DSA, which requires greater due

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>diligence in case a foreseeable increase of the risk profile.

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>This is major, and this is major for a couple

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of reasons. One, the EU has sown themselves to have

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>stricter laws than the United States, where in fact, we

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>have continued to allow Donald Trump to spread his lies

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and not only continue, but networks have you know, stormed

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>bar A Lago so that they can be front row

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to his stream of consciousness, his bullshit, and his oh

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. According to NPR one hundred and sixty two

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>lies that he told at that quote unquote press conference

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that took place last week. That means, folks, by the way,

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty two lies that Donald Trump told

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>at mar A Lago, that was two lies, two and

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a half lies. I'm sorry a minute. If that is

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>not fucking compulsion and DSM five worthy, I don't know

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>what is. Nonetheless, the EU ahead of this event that

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is of course putting together because he himself

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is a effectual white supremacist, in cell transphobic piece of

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>garbage that they're basically saying to him, you've been put

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>on notice, right, So if you move forward with a

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 1>man that you know is a known liar that stokes violence,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that caused an insurrection inside of the United States and

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>continues to fuel white supremacy and white Christian nationalists beliefs,

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>then we are going to take action. And I only wish,

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>dear friends, that the United States had a Congress that

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>actually cared about the spread of disinformation, white supremacy, racism,

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and hatred, because if we did, then following the insurrection

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>following January sixth, twenty twenty one, Congress would have sprung

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>into action to ensure that our airwaves, our online social

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>media platforms were safe spaces and devoid of content from

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and his white supremacist militia that he called

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>into action, but instead there is none. There has been

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>no action that has been taken over the last few

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>years since that devastating day in our country, and for

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>folks that have been following what has been going on

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>inside of the UK, it has been an absolute shit show,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>with Nazi groups and other white supremacist groups marching, vandalizing,

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>burning buildings, setting fire to cars, terrorizing the migrant population,

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the Muslim population in these areas, which by way are deep.

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I will say that it did warm my heart to

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>see the thousands of anti racist protesters that have flooded

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the UK in recent weeks as a pushback to what

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>has been going on at the hands of these white

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>supremist fascists. But clearly the EU is incredibly concerned with

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Donald Trump's rhetoric cause and effect leads

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to increase in violence, and they are already dealing with

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a volatile and violent situation. So you know, my whole

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>thing is that we know where Elon Musk stands. We

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>know that Elon Musk fired the entire department that was

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>monitoring hate speech and language on the Internet that as

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>soon as he took it over, there has been a

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>flood of bots and hatred and violent language, misogyny and

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>racism that has taken over Twitter. That nothing good has

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>actually come out of Elon Musk taking over this platform,

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and they're aware of it, and he has weaponized it

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>against various communities that he does not like and wants

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to see decimated. The fact that Elon Musk is allowed

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to continue on knowing exactly what he has done to

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>this site and what a danger it causes to the

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>public is beyond me. But the reality here is that, look,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the EU is saying what we all know and what

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>we've been saying about Donald Trump, that he is a

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 1>violent figure, that his entire rhetoric is about causing pain,

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>causing disorder, and sowing chaos. That's the goal. That's the goal.

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>There is no part of anything that Donald Trump said

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>during that diatribe Stream of Consciousness like just bullshit that

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>said to us, Oh yeah, this man is serious. I mean,

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>we've been on Donald Trump to become serious since he

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:07.119
<v Speaker 1>came down the escalator referring to Mexicans as rapists and murderers.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We've been waiting for Donald Trump to get serious when

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he referred to African nations as shithole countries. We've been

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>waiting for Donald Trump to get serious when he was

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>mocking people with disabilities and mocking veterans who were taken prisoner,

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>when he has put a target on the backs of

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>women and people who do not agree with him, when

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>he has called for violence against the judges that are

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>overseeing his cases. Folks, the list goes on and fucking on,

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and yet he continues as of this recording, Donald Trump

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>is back on Twitter. And why is Donald Trump back

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter? Well, one nobody goes on his broke down,

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>fucking social media platform. He's the only one that uses it,

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and so he comes on to the place that has

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>three hundred million users. Right, even though millions of people

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>have left Twitter, I still remain on because I go on,

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I post content, and I pretty much leave right. I

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 1>no longer there are no longer conversations to involve yourself

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>in or things to connect with, because it has become

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>such a degraded place that you just don't want to spend.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Like do you think to yourself, let me go swim

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in that refreshing, beautiful lake, or let me go and

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>swim in a sewer. I mean, the choice seems to

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>be obvious. What I also want us to think about

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>as Donald Trump's rhetoric begins to increase and become increasingly erratic,

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>are a couple of things. One, there is recent conversation that,

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of course is led by Donald Trump and his lies,

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>that Kamala Harris's rallies where she is getting ten twelve

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand and just you know, thousands of people waiting in

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>line and showing up to be a part of history,

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>they have been, according to Donald Trump aied and that

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>they are fake. Well, for once, The New York Times

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>actually has a headline worth note, which is that Trump

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>falsely claims that the crowd scene at Harris's rallies are fake.

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>That's it. It's not that hard to say Donald Trump

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is lying and then say what Donald Trump is lying about,

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to say Donald Trump calls into question whether

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>or not Kamala Harris's crowd size is true. It's like, no,

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not it at all, because that would have to

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>put her campaign on the defense of something that we're

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>all seeing with our eyes. And so this is according

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to Shane Goldmeacker at the New York Times. Former President

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump has taken his obsession with the large

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>crowds that Vice President Kamala Harris is drawing at her

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>rallies to New Heights, falsely declaring in a series of

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>social media posts over the weekend that she had used

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>quote artificial intelligence to create images and videos of fake crowds.

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Now here's what we know to be true. The only

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>person who creates fake crowds by oh, I don't know,

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>paying people to show up is Donald Trump. And we

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>know this because former disgruntled staff of Donald Trump has

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 1>said us much. You see the people, the white folks

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that readily rock blacks for Trump or Trump for blacks,

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>so whatever the fuck those stupid shirts say. And we

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>see that the people that are in those audiences, and

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>we always later find out that they are paid, right,

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, no one wants to show up at

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's rallies anymore because they get there and this

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>man just dribbles on for you know, could be out

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on end, like he did at the Republican National Convention.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>So this writer goes on to say that the crowds

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>at miss Harris's events, including one in Detroit outside an

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>airplane hangar, which is the one that Donald Trump is

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>claiming was quote unquote ai'ed, were witnessed by thousands of

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>people and news outlets including the New York Times, and

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the number of attendees claimed by her campaign is in

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>line with what was visible on the ground. Mister Trump

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>falsely wrote on social media site truth Social that there

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>was nobody at the plane and she aied it. A

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>spokesman for Trump campaign did not respond for a quest

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>for comment, because what are they gonna say. You even

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>have people like the friggin' boot liquor himself, the vek

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Ramaswami posting on Twitter that Yeah, the crowd sizes are

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>real and why are we focusing on that as opposed

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to focusing on her quote unquote bad policies. Donald Trump

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>does not have the right people around him. That was

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a summary of the vexaries in tweet. And so even

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 1>his own people who have debased themselves for this man,

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>who have bended the knee, who have kissed the ring

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and the ass of Donald Trump, can't go along with

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>what he is trying to formulate in his latest Scooby

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Doo plan, which is to create some type of narrative

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that these crowds are fake. Well, guess what, as was

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>reported by the New York Times, not only are news

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>outlets there on the ground with their own eyes and ears,

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>but thousands of people are there and are taken to

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>their social media and posting. So it's just like this

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>weird universe that we find ourselves in where this obsession

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way of Donald Trump, this happened years ago.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>It began with his inauguration. It began with the fact

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that like, guess what, he did not have the same

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>crowds and size as a Barack Obama because guess what,

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>he ain't the same man. He has nothing to offer.

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And I would argue, and look, I have said this before,

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>not believe that Donald Trump won in twenty sixteen. I

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>do believe that the Democrats just assumed that what they

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>saw was what they saw and he won readily, as

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>opposed to maybe we should have done some investigation into

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the man with ties to Putin and to other dictators,

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the troll machine and farm that Putin

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>used to spread this information, Like, maybe we should have

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>checked things out right, But you just assumed that you

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>take the results on their face, because why would you

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>ever question it? And you keep it moving. I beg

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to differ. Nonetheless, that is water underneath the bridge. But

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the reason why these lies, friends, are so incredibly insidious,

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>is because Donald Trump is currently planting the seeds and

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>has never right stopped planting the seeds of disbelief to

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>his followers so that we can have a twenty twenty

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>reducs where they do not accept the results of an election.

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Just like right now, he is also throwing doubt on

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the polls that show a seismic shift that has happened

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>where guess who is trailing in the polls, Donald Trump.

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I say this, friends, not because I want us to

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>lose sight of goal at hand, which is this, We

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>need Kamala Harris not only to win, but we need

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a fucking landslide. We need her to win so big

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and so boldly that there is no question. I don't

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>want there to be even a margin. I don't want

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>her winning by just a thousand votes or ten thousand votes.

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I want it to be a fucking blowout. And the

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>only way that that happens is if we continue this

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm all the way to November fifth. We have currently,

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>as of the time of this recording, eighty three days

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>until the election. And if we can keep this enthusiasm,

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>these zoom calls, this energy, the donations coming in, then

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>we are ensured that we will win. But let us

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>not count our chickens before they hatch and just take

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>for granted these polls and take our foot off the gas,

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>because if you remember, those very same poles told us

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty sixteen that Hillary Clinton was certain to win.

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And how that could be, I don't fucking know, being

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>as how she didn't really go to battleground states or

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>what have you like. I'm not saying that they ran

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a perfect campaign. They did not. But what I am

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.880
<v Speaker 1>saying is that we know what is at stake, and

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>we cannot take our eyes off of the ball for

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>one fucking second here and assume that everyone else around

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 1>us is going to be doing the work. Because the

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>polls tell us that things are moving in our direction.

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>That is not how we win. We win by staying focused.

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>We win by digging in. We win by pushing past

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the finish line. That's how we win. But what I

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>do know to be true is that Donald Trump is

0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of a tailspin and a fucking meltdown,

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and that meltdown will only get worse and more dangerous

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>as we get closer to election day. So these are

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 1>not just you know lies to shrug off for these

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you know claims that he's trying to get his folks

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to pick up and run with and they're not doing it.

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.400
<v Speaker 1>They are part of the larger stop the steal two

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.719
<v Speaker 1>point zero strategy by calling her a cheater, by saying

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that she's cheating by creating AI images, knowing good goddamn

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.199
<v Speaker 1>well that what he is seeing is real, and that

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is exactly why he is flipping out about it. We

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>have momentum on our side as we head into convention.

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has peaked and plateaued. But you never count

0:19:55.640 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>that fucking gremlin out right, because every time that we

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>think that Donald Trump is gone, that we think that

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 1>he's beat, that we think that the courts got him

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>on the ropes, that we think that you know so

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and so got him on the ropes, turns around, man

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is fucking teplon. So the only thing that we will

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>know for sure is if thousands upon thousands upon millions

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 1>upon millions of Americans show up and vote for Kamala

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Harris on November fifth and get us over the finish line.

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Anything other than that, friends, doesn't matter. We need a landslide,

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and that is what we should be looking to from

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the top of the ticket all the way down. Let's

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>give Kamala Harris the Congress that she needs to restore

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Roe V. Wade, to restore voting rights, to restore affirmative action,

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to better our healthcare system. Let her get the Congress

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that she needs to transform this kind into a place

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>that we all can be proud of like we have

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>been over the last two weeks of watching the brilliant

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>athletes of the Olympics. Time magazine has her on the

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>cover with the title that says her moment, and I

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>would argue that it is America's moment. It is America's

0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>moment to reclaim and fortify our democracy for generations to come.

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>That is it for me today, dear friends, on woke

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.720
<v Speaker 1>af as always, Power to the people and to all

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
