Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to OKF Daily with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from my Chicago bunker, Folks,
Speaker 1: I have finally made it to Chicago after having a
Speaker 1: flight cancelation on Sunday, having a five hour delay on Monday.
Speaker 1: I'm here, and I want to thank all of you
Speaker 1: who sent out positive vibes that got me to Chicago,
Speaker 1: because yeah, it was a considerable feat to get here,
Speaker 1: but I'm here and the energy is intoxicating, captivating, It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I've only been to, as I've recorded and said to
Speaker 1: you all before, to one convention prior, and that was
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, and I didn't want to miss that because
Speaker 1: as you know, I didn't want to miss history. And
Speaker 1: the feeling is the same now, except just I guess,
Speaker 1: like on an entirely different level. Where do I even begin.
Speaker 1: This is Wednesday. I'm recording this on Tuesday, so it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to kind of give you guys recaps.
Speaker 1: But I want you to make sure that you're following
Speaker 1: me on my YouTube channel on at Danielle Moody Underscore,
Speaker 1: which is the same handle on TikTok, so that you're
Speaker 1: able to just follow along as things are happening. But
Speaker 1: for this wooke Wednesday, what I will say, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about kind of the themes that I am
Speaker 1: feeling and seeing in this DNC, which is love, joy, family,
Speaker 1: and persistence and freedom. And it is such a stark contrast.
Speaker 1: Having listened to the first day of speakers from Reverend
Speaker 1: Warnock to Jasmine Crockett to AOC to Hillary Clinton to
Speaker 1: I mean Joe Biden, like it, it was just extraordinary.
Speaker 1: And by the time you have listened to this, you
Speaker 1: will have listened to Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and all
Speaker 1: of the amazing speakers on day two. But what I
Speaker 1: want to talk about today is really the start contrast
Speaker 1: that we are seeing between the Republicans' view of America
Speaker 1: and what it is that Democrats are offering the Republicans
Speaker 1: when you look back at their RNC, and so many
Speaker 1: people have stolen this and I'm going to literally use it,
Speaker 1: which is that it was a fucking wake Like what
Speaker 1: else do you call what it was that we watched
Speaker 1: back in I don't even know what it was. Was
Speaker 1: it in July? I have no idea because time has
Speaker 1: just moved so fucking quickly. I think it was July
Speaker 1: and it was nonsense, right, like who did they have?
Speaker 1: They had Hulk Hogan and they had Kid Rock and
Speaker 1: somebody's dog, like it was just a clown car and ridiculous,
Speaker 1: Like it didn't offer the American people of vision. And
Speaker 1: if it did, the vision was exclusivity and whiteness. That
Speaker 1: was the vision, right, Like it wasn't an inclusive, expansive
Speaker 1: vision of America. It was like, if you're in our
Speaker 1: country club of whiteness and fox Christianity and misogyny, then like,
Speaker 1: welcome to everybody else. Fuck off. I mean, how do
Speaker 1: you have a convention where you have signs that say
Speaker 1: things to the effect of mass deportation? And I said
Speaker 1: this on Mary Trump's show, And if you haven't subscribed
Speaker 1: to Mary Trump Media on YouTube, you should do that
Speaker 1: as well, because I'm doing Nerd Avengers over there as
Speaker 1: well as each morning we're doing a recap called about
Speaker 1: last night. And then again that's over at Mary Trump Media. Y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be in so many places at one time.
Speaker 1: It's mind boggling. But looking at the R and C
Speaker 1: to me was like looking in the history books. I
Speaker 1: remember seeing well dressed white people at a lynching, right,
Speaker 1: like that was their idea of entertainment and going out,
Speaker 1: which was to watch the brutalization and the death of
Speaker 1: black people and black bodies. And I get the same
Speaker 1: fucking sentiments and vibes from what we saw at the RNC.
Speaker 1: And so when you watched the DNC and you're listening
Speaker 1: to this consistent theme of freedom of justice, of just
Speaker 1: what we want America to be, right, I don't understand
Speaker 1: how anyone looks at these two things and says, oh,
Speaker 1: both parties are the same. That is the laziest fucking
Speaker 1: analysis that people can offer about Republicans and Democrats. Oh,
Speaker 1: they're just the same, Are you dumb? Like? And I
Speaker 1: say that because I don't know how you look at
Speaker 1: the videos and the imagery and the excitement that you've
Speaker 1: been seeing over the past month and tell me that
Speaker 1: what the RNC offers and what Donald Trump offers in
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five is the same thing as what
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and Tim Walls and the Democratic Party is
Speaker 1: offering to America. We're offering a vision that is about
Speaker 1: the future, the future that is inclusive of every single
Speaker 1: type of person. That's why you were seeing all of
Speaker 1: these different types of zoom calls, you know, from people
Speaker 1: with disabilities, to queer people to AAPI people, to black people,
Speaker 1: to black men, to black women to white women. Right like,
Speaker 1: you're seeing all of these what is considered like these
Speaker 1: niche different groups, because that's the patchwork that makes up
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, that is the patchwork that makes up America.
Speaker 1: And so you know, for me, it is really an
Speaker 1: extraordinary opportunity to reclaim my patriotism. That's where I feel
Speaker 1: like I am right now. I'm in a space where
Speaker 1: for almost a decade, Republicans had stolen my patriotism, rite,
Speaker 1: my ability to be proud to be an American, and
Speaker 1: a continued reminder each and every day of why I
Speaker 1: got into public service, because I can remember being in
Speaker 1: high school an ap government in politics and being like
Speaker 1: as a child of immigrants, as a queer woman, as
Speaker 1: a black woman. I wanted to make this country better
Speaker 1: for everyone. I want everyone to have their access to
Speaker 1: the American dream. I want America to feel possible for everyone.
Speaker 1: That is what separates us from other countries in the world.
Speaker 1: Because when you listen to Barack Obama, when you listen
Speaker 1: to Kamala Harris. When you listen to Hillary Clinton, their
Speaker 1: stories are only possible in America because in other countries,
Speaker 1: regardless of the amount of problems that America has, which
Speaker 1: are many. But as Bill Clinton said back in the nineties,
Speaker 1: there is nothing that is wrong with America that can't
Speaker 1: be fixed by what is right with America right. And
Speaker 1: there is more that is right with us and right
Speaker 1: with the people, not necessarily all of our representatives, but
Speaker 1: with the people. Then that is wrong with us. But
Speaker 1: when we get stuck into these places where mainstream media
Speaker 1: amplifies for their own ratings in servitude to themselves, but
Speaker 1: not our democracy, then we get stuck in this cave
Speaker 1: of belief that everything is wrong, that everything is bad.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until folks this last month, in realizing
Speaker 1: that no, everything is not bad, everything is not wrong,
Speaker 1: like we are a possible people. And so this reclamation
Speaker 1: that I am having of my patriotism in this moment.
Speaker 1: I landed in Chicago and it was the full moon,
Speaker 1: and the skyline was ahead of me, and I get
Speaker 1: into my taxi and the taxi driver has the Convention
Speaker 1: on his phone playing into the speakers of the car,
Speaker 1: so that the passengers can listen as well as so
Speaker 1: he can listen, right, And I'm driving into this city
Speaker 1: and the skyline is red, white and blue, and I
Speaker 1: started tearing up because I have felt so shackled in
Speaker 1: my hopelessness. And that is what the Republican Party and
Speaker 1: this narrative of there is no way out that they
Speaker 1: have crafted has done to us. And so now here
Speaker 1: comes Kamala Harris and Tim Walls one month ago saying
Speaker 1: there is another way. We don't have to acquiesce to
Speaker 1: their vision of America. We don't. Fascism is not inevitable.
Speaker 1: And it is this idea and this belief that we
Speaker 1: can disrupt this place, this authoritarianism, this dictatorship, this project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five dream that Donald Trump and his ilk
Speaker 1: have we can disrupt it. It is not inevitable. And
Speaker 1: so being able to say, they don't get to claim
Speaker 1: the flag, they don't get to claim patriotism. Fuck, they
Speaker 1: don't get to claim Christianity because I will say this
Speaker 1: that when I listen to Reverend Warnock and that man
Speaker 1: preached a sermon on Monday, I'm not a Christian, folks,
Speaker 1: I am agnostic. I am a person that believes in
Speaker 1: spirit and higher power and respect all religions and forms,
Speaker 1: and so don't prescribe to one. But let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. After Reverend Warnock spoke, I said, pass the
Speaker 1: plate because I felt like I wanted to sign up
Speaker 1: for church, because I said, if this is what church
Speaker 1: can look like, then sign me up. Because when he
Speaker 1: said that our vote is like prayer in action, I said, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: A fucking men. We have to be reminded, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: we have to remind ourselves on a regular basis that
Speaker 1: we are a possible people and that there will always
Speaker 1: there will never not be forces at play that are
Speaker 1: trying to tear down the vision of America that is
Speaker 1: inclusive of all of us. There will always be the Republicans,
Speaker 1: the Magas, the Trumps, the White Supremacists, the White Citizens Council,
Speaker 1: the klu klux Klans. There will always be those people.
Speaker 1: But our work and our job is to push those
Speaker 1: fucking people their voices to the margins, to push them
Speaker 1: so far back underground that they move in the shadows. Right,
Speaker 1: move in the shadows because they don't want to be
Speaker 1: found out. Do you understand what I'm saying? But we
Speaker 1: know that they're there. We're still watching, we're still vigilant,
Speaker 1: but we're no longer living in a place of fear
Speaker 1: that they want us to be in, because when we
Speaker 1: exist in a place of fear, then we give them power.
Speaker 1: It is like we're just giving them our energy. As
Speaker 1: my mom says, you cannot pour from an empty cup.
Speaker 1: And I feel that Maga for a years has fucking
Speaker 1: drained us, and then we've been left depleted and dehydrated
Speaker 1: and searching for an oasis in the desert of Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and trump Ism. And what Kamala Harrison
Speaker 1: Tim Wallas has offered is like the water station is
Speaker 1: this way, follow the arrow, right, follow the arrow to rehydrate,
Speaker 1: to regenerate, to get your energy so that we can
Speaker 1: continue to fight, because as she is saying, when we fight,
Speaker 1: we win. The other thing that I will say is
Speaker 1: that this remembrance right now that is happening, this recalling
Speaker 1: of our history that Hillary Clinton offered in her speech,
Speaker 1: which was rousing, Like Hillary Clinton deserved every bit of
Speaker 1: fucking applause and more, because we do not know what
Speaker 1: that woman has been carrying for her over thirty years
Speaker 1: of public service. Being the target of right wing eyre
Speaker 1: right of saying that women can be more and do
Speaker 1: more than bake cookies, right, that we can do more
Speaker 1: than pick out china. She was the first one, right
Speaker 1: and the one that they targeted because she wanted to
Speaker 1: break from the mold. But what she reminded us in
Speaker 1: her remarks is that no, there were women that came
Speaker 1: before her. Right. There was the Geraldine Ferraro, There was
Speaker 1: the Shirley Chisholm. Right, there were these women who were
Speaker 1: in many ways ahead of their time. But they were
Speaker 1: the lanterns that we needed because they were building a
Speaker 1: path that Kamala Harris and the rest of us would
Speaker 1: walk decades later. This is the history that Republicans don't
Speaker 1: want our kids to learn. This is the history that
Speaker 1: they want us to erase. Because you see, when we
Speaker 1: go backwards and we recognize that we are standing on
Speaker 1: the shoulders and being held in space by our ancestors
Speaker 1: known and unknown, then we know that we have the
Speaker 1: energy to continue moving forward because they started the path,
Speaker 1: they cleared the way, and it is our job, as
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton said, to keep going. But when we are
Speaker 1: pushed into a narrow space of believing that we can't
Speaker 1: do that. It is impossible, right, that all is lost.
Speaker 1: Then we don't recognize that the path has already been
Speaker 1: mode for us, right, because we get stuck in our
Speaker 1: dark corners and refuse to see the light. Folks, As
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton said, there is a feeling there is an
Speaker 1: energy right now, there is a feeling there is an
Speaker 1: energy that is so organic, is so contagious. You can't
Speaker 1: make this up, you can't create it. And that is
Speaker 1: what this Republican Party it's terrified of, right. They are
Speaker 1: terrified of us because when we all collectively realize and
Speaker 1: recognize our power, they cease to have any and the
Speaker 1: only thing that they want is power over, not power with,
Speaker 1: but power over. So as we continue through this week,
Speaker 1: I encourage all of you to continue to find the
Speaker 1: ways in which you are going to organize, organizing your
Speaker 1: own communities, using your own platforms, to get people registered
Speaker 1: to vote, to donate, to hold house parties, to walk
Speaker 1: through Kamala Harrison, Tim Walls's plans, whether it be the
Speaker 1: economic plan that they rolled out, whether it be their
Speaker 1: renewable energy plan. When people say, oh I don't know
Speaker 1: what the plan is, that is fucking lazy. So come
Speaker 1: with the receipts, right, come with the receipts, and take
Speaker 1: your time and energy to walk those people through because
Speaker 1: we cannot get complacent. We have seventy six days, folks,
Speaker 1: seventy six days to cross that finished life, and they
Speaker 1: are going to come with everything, with every lie, with
Speaker 1: every bit of violence, right with every court case, to
Speaker 1: try and overturn the will of the people. So this
Speaker 1: has got to be an avalanche of hope. This cannot
Speaker 1: be something that is subject to the course because we
Speaker 1: know right if this goes the route of two thousand
Speaker 1: and the Supreme Court, with this fucking radicalized Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: we know what they will do. So we have got
Speaker 1: to put in the work now so that we can
Speaker 1: celebrate come January twentieth, twenty twenty five, when, as Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton said, on the other side of that glass ceiling
Speaker 1: is Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first president,
Speaker 1: female president, black, and Indian president of these United States.
Speaker 1: We have such an extraordinary opportunity in front of us.
Speaker 1: History is in front of us, and our ancestors are
Speaker 1: behind us, pushing us, rooting for us, reminding us that
Speaker 1: we are not alone. So I will say in closing today,
Speaker 1: Dear friends, the excitement that I have that I feel
Speaker 1: is something that I have not experienced in almost a decade,
Speaker 1: and it is real and I feel it in every
Speaker 1: sense of my being. And I will do everything everything
Speaker 1: within my power to ensure that Kamala Harris becomes the
Speaker 1: first female president of these United States. So I continue
