Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker. Folks.
Speaker 1: It has been an extraordinary few weeks in America. First,
Speaker 1: we have the closing of the Olympic ceremonies where the
Speaker 1: United States won one hundred and twenty six medals, tied
Speaker 1: forty medals for gold, with China won medals in like
Speaker 1: almost every track and field category. It was an extraordinary
Speaker 1: showing from the USA men's basketball team winning gold against
Speaker 1: France to the women's US basketball team winning gold against France.
Speaker 1: You know, there is something about the olymp that just
Speaker 1: brings out a deep level of patriotism in me and
Speaker 1: in a lot of people where you get to root
Speaker 1: for the best of the best across so many different
Speaker 1: fields of athleticism for two weeks, and you know, it's
Speaker 1: almost as if every four years during that time, the
Speaker 1: world comes together in this amazing, you know, exhibition of
Speaker 1: athleticism and showmanship and sportsmanship. Because I think that one
Speaker 1: of the things that I loved so much about this
Speaker 1: Olympics were really shout out to the women athletes that
Speaker 1: were showing levels of sportsmanship across different fields of athleticism,
Speaker 1: from volleyball to track and field, to basketball to gymnastics.
Speaker 1: That was just beautiful, beautiful and reminding us of how
Speaker 1: we all should be and what we should aspire to.
Speaker 1: That you can in fact compete but still recognize greatness
Speaker 1: and celebrate greatness in other people, and celebrate other people
Speaker 1: for their accomplishments. And I think that it is a
Speaker 1: great lesson that we get every few years from the
Speaker 1: Olympics and those that just wow us with their performances.
Speaker 1: I take that now and applaud all of the winners,
Speaker 1: and particularly I want to say this about the recent decision,
Speaker 1: horrific decision by the IOC, by the Olympic arbitrators to
Speaker 1: take away Jordan Chiles' bronze medal win on the floor,
Speaker 1: which the United States is going to appeal. You know,
Speaker 1: none of us will know what it is like to
Speaker 1: work and fight through so much in order to get
Speaker 1: to the Olympic stage. For some people, just making it
Speaker 1: to the Olympic stage is their greatest feat and celebration
Speaker 1: of their country, the ability to put on for their country.
Speaker 1: Jordan Chiles, she is beyond. She is a girl's girl,
Speaker 1: She is a fighter, She is a champion, and for
Speaker 1: the Olympic committee to strip her of a medal that
Speaker 1: she rightfully earned, and the only time that that has
Speaker 1: ever happened in history has been because somebody was cheating
Speaker 1: or doping, not because of an error by the judges.
Speaker 1: You know, it makes me so angry as a woman,
Speaker 1: as a black woman, because for those that don't know,
Speaker 1: black women, regardless of whether you were from the United States,
Speaker 1: whatever country around the world, have to fight ten times
Speaker 1: harder than everybody else does, always has to be twice
Speaker 1: as good, twice as graceful, twice as smart. Just to
Speaker 1: be batted back down all the time and to be
Speaker 1: stripped of something that you earned and it given to
Speaker 1: another team is just such an extraordinary slap in the face.
Speaker 1: And I really found myself so hurt for her and
Speaker 1: her family and her coaches, because even Simone Biles, you know,
Speaker 1: who had invited her to train with her after she
Speaker 1: almost left the sport and then fought her way back
Speaker 1: to the world stage into the podium, only to be
Speaker 1: knocked back again. I really do you pray for her
Speaker 1: mental health, for her resilience, and I hope that she
Speaker 1: has the support system that is in place that we
Speaker 1: see her again and again and again in the top
Speaker 1: slot because she has earned it. She is a champion
Speaker 1: and she will forever be an Olympian, regardless of what
Speaker 1: the Olympic arbitrators decided. And so I just want to
Speaker 1: give her an extraordinary shout out because what a major
Speaker 1: blow that she is undeserving of. But now from sports,
Speaker 1: let's switch gears to where we find ourselves now on
Speaker 1: the campaign trail. I have made so many videos over
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks on mainstream corporate media, and
Speaker 1: you all know, like you follow me on social media,
Speaker 1: I have like about had it, and over the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, prior to Joe Biden stepping aside in
Speaker 1: the race, Joe Biden was berated, humiliated, disrespected by the
Speaker 1: press for his age, for questions around his mental fitness,
Speaker 1: questions about whether or not he had Parkinson's just berated
Speaker 1: in such a disgusting and inhumane matter. And why do
Speaker 1: I say it's inhumane Because Joe Biden doesn't have thirty
Speaker 1: four felonies, Joe Biden isn't an adjudicated rapist. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: isn't sitting down and dining with white supremacts. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: didn't call for an insurrection. Joe Biden didn't for the
Speaker 1: first time, decide that the peaceful transfer of power was
Speaker 1: no longer going to happen. You would think that corporate
Speaker 1: media would show the same fucking disrespect and energy that
Speaker 1: they have been at Joe Biden to a multiple time
Speaker 1: felon who's running for office, that the calls that were
Speaker 1: ringing a nauseum for Joe Biden to drop out of
Speaker 1: the race. Once Joe Biden did do the most patriotic
Speaker 1: and courageous thing by stepping aside and making room in
Speaker 1: a path for Vice President Kamala Harris, you would think
Speaker 1: that then that ire would be shifted to now the
Speaker 1: oldest man in the race for the presidency in the
Speaker 1: history of the United States. And also, let me just
Speaker 1: say again, an adjudicated rapist, a criminal, a felon, a liar,
Speaker 1: a twice impeached piece of garbage. But it's not because
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump calls and tells the media to jump,
Speaker 1: they all come running and ask how high Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has been off of the campaign trail, had been off
Speaker 1: of the campaign trail for over a week. There was
Speaker 1: no talks about does he not have the stamina, does
Speaker 1: he not have the ability? But as soon as he
Speaker 1: wanted to call a bullshit press conference from his fucking
Speaker 1: living room at mar A Lago, the media came running
Speaker 1: and broadcasts him for an hour across all networks. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walls are bringing
Speaker 1: in historic crowds to places like Las Vegas, Arizona, Philadelphia, Detroit,
Speaker 1: US Who's not being carried live by the networks, while
Speaker 1: as of the time of this recording, the cameras are
Speaker 1: pointed at an empty podium. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has about
Speaker 1: ten thousand people in the audience at a rally that
Speaker 1: she's doing, but again, mainstream corporate media not carrying that live.
Speaker 1: And I just want to shout out once again Lawrence O'Donnell,
Speaker 1: who late last week did a roughly twenty two minute
Speaker 1: monologue on his show blasting mainstream corporate media and his
Speaker 1: own network and saying that this is twenty sixteen all
Speaker 1: over again, nine years later, after the media was doing
Speaker 1: everything in their power to get Donald Trump elected, doing
Speaker 1: everything in their power to drag Hillary Clinton through the mud.
Speaker 1: Nine years later, we are in the same place. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing that I understand. They want Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to win. They want fascism, they want to be in
Speaker 1: the cool kids club. They want to rub elbows and shoulders,
Speaker 1: and they want Donald Trump to like them. So you
Speaker 1: will never hear any tough questions or any follow up
Speaker 1: questions for that fucking matter, in the way that you
Speaker 1: have watched for four years as Biden has been berated,
Speaker 1: as his White House Press secretary Kareein Jean Pierre has
Speaker 1: been disrespected, and the way that now you have these
Speaker 1: quote unquote journalists saying things like, oh, why isn't Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris speaking to the press when in fast after all
Speaker 1: of her rallies, she is walking up to cameras and
Speaker 1: saying what she got. And if I were her, I
Speaker 1: would be like, y'all, don't carry me live, so you
Speaker 1: all don't get to ask me a fucking thing, because
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go and speak to the voters. And
Speaker 1: this is why I have been saying for so long,
Speaker 1: turn off mainstream media, tune in to independent outlets, lift
Speaker 1: up independent voices like mine like Mary Trump Media, where
Speaker 1: my news show Get woke with Danielle Moody is like
Speaker 1: a ten to fifteen minute video show that I am
Speaker 1: doing over on that one network, because I am sitting
Speaker 1: here and really deciding whether or not I'm going to
Speaker 1: continue bothering to do television anymore. There was a time
Speaker 1: ten years ago when all I wanted, Folks was a
Speaker 1: cable news show. I was putting on the right demeanor.
Speaker 1: I was saying yes, even when I was on vacation,
Speaker 1: even when it was on holidays, and I was being
Speaker 1: asked to come on air, by the way, without any
Speaker 1: pay whatsoever. I have never been afforded the financial ability
Speaker 1: recognition to become a contributor, no matter how often I
Speaker 1: had been asked to be on cable news over the
Speaker 1: last ten years. They use and abuse people of color.
Speaker 1: You can just look at who loses their jobs or
Speaker 1: who is just squeezed and always a carrot dangled out
Speaker 1: in front of them saying, oh yeah, yeah, you're up next,
Speaker 1: You're up next. We're looking at you for a show.
Speaker 1: We're looking at you for a contributorship that never comes.
Speaker 1: Watched everyone from Melissa Harris, Perry, Tiffany Cross, Mehdi Hassan.
Speaker 1: People get sidelined. All of the people of color who
Speaker 1: have shows outside of Joy Reid are bunched up on
Speaker 1: two days on the weekend, they sideline on MSNBC their
Speaker 1: Muslim hosts during one of the most catastrophic wars in
Speaker 1: modern times in favor of their white broadcast team. For
Speaker 1: so long, I have kept my mouth closed as not
Speaker 1: to offend, and over the last couple of years, I've
Speaker 1: moved into a place of I don't give a fuck
Speaker 1: because people need to know that you're not getting the truth.
Speaker 1: You're getting whatever water down version of whatever the CEOs
Speaker 1: and shareholders of those networks want you to get. They
Speaker 1: don't care about you, They care about their shareholders. They
Speaker 1: care about their CEO. Because I have known for years
Speaker 1: that the most important demographic that watches MSNBC, for instance,
Speaker 1: black women. But how many black women have shows? And
Speaker 1: the other day last week on the Beat with Ari
Speaker 1: Melber was my breaking point when Ari Melber decided to
Speaker 1: have Stephen Miller on his show, a known white supremacist,
Speaker 1: a hateful, lying trump piece of shit go on his
Speaker 1: airwaves to and I realize at that point, Oh, you
Speaker 1: don't even care, because this is all a game to you.
Speaker 1: White supremacy isn't a game. To me, it isn't a
Speaker 1: game to the peoples whose lives it threatens, but to
Speaker 1: those that sit at those tables, that sit in those
Speaker 1: c suites, this is nothing but a horse race. The
Speaker 1: fourth estate has been dead. They don't see their roles
Speaker 1: or their responsibility to educate the public, to educate this
Speaker 1: citizen jury, to make the most important decisions that affect
Speaker 1: their day to day lives. This is just Steve Kornaki
Speaker 1: at the Big board. This is just an obvious, obvious,
Speaker 1: false representation of Democrats that you don't like, don't want
Speaker 1: to see when in favor of the access that you
Speaker 1: get from Republicans. I said this the other day on
Speaker 1: a video that I did on TikTok about Jake Tapper
Speaker 1: over at CNN and Dana Bash. They are embarrassments to
Speaker 1: the field of journalism. Jake Tapper found himself criticizing Governor
Speaker 1: Tim Walls for making a joke about JD Vance getting
Speaker 1: off of the couch to come and debate him. Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper says, Oh, my goodness, I thought it was gross.
Speaker 1: It was revolting. Really, where was that fucking energy around
Speaker 1: the transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, racism, that disputed on a regular
Speaker 1: basis out of the mouth of Donald Trump and every
Speaker 1: Republican that you have on that network. They want to
Speaker 1: clutch their pearls over a fucking joke. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: rhetoric has had members of Congress, judges require security that
Speaker 1: we have seen white supremacist violence rise in this country
Speaker 1: over the last nine years because of one political party.
Speaker 1: But you want to clutch your pearls over that. And
Speaker 1: so I have come to a place where I am
Speaker 1: just over it, and I don't know after this coming
Speaker 1: week if I will continue to say yes when asked
Speaker 1: to go on because I don't see what value it
Speaker 1: brings and I only want to do things that add value,
Speaker 1: that actually help people. And right now, what I am
Speaker 1: telling people to do is turn off your television, turn
Speaker 1: it off, tune in to your communities, continue with your
Speaker 1: zoom call, Continue with your activations in getting out the vote,
Speaker 1: continuing with registering people to vote, continuing with volunteering and
Speaker 1: donating if you have the ability to do so. Continue
Speaker 1: spreading truth, Continue spreading my messages and these episodes and
Speaker 1: other people from independent outlets whom you trust. Because the
Speaker 1: only thing that is going to change mainstream corporate media
Speaker 1: is when they tank, is when we the viewers, say
Speaker 1: we've had enough and turn them off. So I am
Speaker 1: urging folks, particularly those that love the nerd Avengers over
Speaker 1: on Mary Trump Media. Subscribe. There are shows that are
Speaker 1: coming out every day of the week on that network.
Speaker 1: On YouTube Democracy Ish, my other show with wajahat Ali
Speaker 1: has moved over to that network. Subscribe. If you are
Speaker 1: high the ability to support me individually on Patreon with
Speaker 1: a five dollars a month donation, understand that your contributions
Speaker 1: allow me to continue going because as a entrepreneur, as
Speaker 1: a content creator, I actually rely on your investment. It
Speaker 1: is what has gotten me through and continue to have
Speaker 1: me have this type of work and politics be my
Speaker 1: main focus. I would not be able to do this
Speaker 1: without all of you. The newsletter that I put out
Speaker 1: twice a month, the Damn Digest, you can go to
Speaker 1: Daniellemudy dot com and sign up for free. It's a
Speaker 1: free newsletter that I'm putting out. But I ask that
Speaker 1: if you have the ability to cash app to Zell
Speaker 1: to Benmo, do so a dollar two dollars, because those
Speaker 1: are the types of supp rather than giving two hundred
Speaker 1: and three hundred dollars to fucking you know, your cable
Speaker 1: package that is literally turning on cable news so that
Speaker 1: they can lie to you because they do not have
Speaker 1: a vested interest in the truth. Because for them, they'll
Speaker 1: be safe regardless of who is in the White House.
Speaker 1: The rest of us not so much. So we have, folks,
Speaker 1: eighty five days, eighty five days from the time of
Speaker 1: this recording until the election. Do not fall into the
Speaker 1: trap that corporate mainstream media wants you to fall in
Speaker 1: to believe that a either you don't need to do
Speaker 1: anything because Kamala Harris is up in the polls, or
Speaker 1: just keep feeding you Donald Trump's bullshit diatraps and make
Speaker 1: you feel hopeless again. Tune them out, tune in to
Speaker 1: your unity, tune in to doing the work. And as
Speaker 1: Governor Wall says, we will sleep when we're dead. It
Speaker 1: is going to take every single one of us reaching
Speaker 1: out to ten of our friends, family members, colleagues, getting
Speaker 1: them engaged, getting them hyped up, and getting them to
Speaker 1: the polls for us to pull off the impossible. But
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time, I believe
Speaker 1: that we can do it because I am seeing the
Speaker 1: energy I am feeling, the hopefulness, and my mustard seed
Speaker 1: of hope has grown into a field, a field of
Speaker 1: actual dreams that I believe that we can realize. But
Speaker 1: the work ahead is still the work ahead, And this
Speaker 1: is the time when I'm telling people to dig in
Speaker 1: and to tune out the noise and tune in to
Speaker 1: what needs to get done, because if you keep relying
Speaker 1: on corporate mainstream media, we're gonna get the same results
Speaker 1: we did in twenty sixteen, and you know what, this
Speaker 1: time around, we won't be able to bounce back. That
Speaker 1: is it for me today. Dear friends on Woke af
Speaker 1: AS always, power to the people and to all the people. Power,
Speaker 1: get woke and stay woke as fuck.
