WEBVTT - The Hit Job on Democracy 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.520 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.599 me your girl, Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.919 Folks, let me tell you something. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:28.240 I am about outdone with this year, and I can't 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:34.000 explain to you how much I am like crawling to Friday, 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.440 when wok F and myself will be going on a 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:46.080 much needed break. Don't fear, there are new interviews conversations 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.240 in the hopper that have been pre recorded for you 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.280 and for your entertainment over what is hopefully going to 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.720 be your break as well. But yeah, Assistan needs a break. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:01.400 This news cycles has me stressed the fuck out from 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.840 the Biden administration. There's an article in the New York 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:09.880 magazine New York mag that says that the Biden administration's 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.360 approach to the election is like, don't worry, we got it, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.640 And I'm like, are you are you all not looking 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.399 at the polls? Like are you not reading the comment 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.720 section on the president's social media? Are you not like 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.880 getting the sense that people are not thrilled with Bidenomics 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.440 and the way all of the things that you're saying 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.440 about the economy are true, but the vibe doesn't match 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:41.440 how people are feeling so like I just when I 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.920 see articles that are being done like that that are 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.600 just like, don't worry, we have it, I'm just like, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.360 my feeling is probably you do not you do not 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.040 have it, and that makes the rest of us unsafe 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.480 and worried. And so I need a vacation so that 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.520 I can come back ready and prepared for twenty twenty 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.000 four and what the fuck that year is gonna bring. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.200 But let me start out today with Donald Trump's recent 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.200 comments at a rally that he did. So Donald Trump 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.360 makes a comment that he's gonna take back the White 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.440 House in twenty twenty four, and then after that he's 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.280 open to negotiation, but depending on how he was treated, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.080 America will owe him another four years. First of all, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.960 we're not trying to be part of the hostage group 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.840 that you're trying to take right like you're gonna be 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.920 open to negotiations. So once again, Donald Trump is telling 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.320 us out loud what he fucking plans to do, which 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.720 is to take control over the White House, over the country, 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.000 over the military, and not give it up. Like I 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.000 don't understand how much more fucking information people need to 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.799 wrap their little brains around this, right like the motherfucker 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:05.520 issue and directed and was the architect of and the 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:11.960 ringleader of a insurrection that had things gone his way 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.760 in the sixty six cases that now Rudy Giuliani, who's 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.760 about to be broke, brought across the country that were 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.480 laughed out of courtrooms, that if in fact his vice 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.440 president had gone along with his plan instead of you know, 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.560 running from the chance of heng Mike Pence, if he 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:39.480 had actually gone through with not certifying the election, if 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.560 the MAGA folks like Mike Johnson who is now Speaker 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.960 of the House, was you know, Speaker of the House, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.920 then like, do we understand where we would be right now? 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.920 We would have already been living inside of Donald Trump's 0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:01.880 maga authoritarian, white supremacist takeover. If not for a handful 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.880 of fucking people right who held together our democracy after 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:12.400 the people had already voted, we wouldn't even be having 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.840 this conversation right now. So what this motherfucker is saying 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:21.680 to you again in plain fucking English, like you elect me, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.320 that's your last election. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:24.640 I'm not leaving. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.400 Maybe I'll be up for negotiation with who exactly the 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.039 fucking voters, right and then when we decide that we 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.080 don't want you, but we won't actually know that because 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.800 you'll just say that you won the election. Like do 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.400 folks not get like how fucking serious this shit is? 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.360 And I get that people you know, don't seem to 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.039 get it, or maybe like Danielle, you know you're overreacting. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.200 We have so much time ahead of us. I'm like, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:05:00.360 do you not realize that twenty twenty in Jack anyway, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.719 it is going to be four years ago? Like how 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.200 quickly time has gone and how quickly things have changed 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.240 in such a short period of time. So you want 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.760 to talk to me about eleven months like being forever 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.160 in a day, It's fucking not. In a blink of 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.440 an eye, it is going to be the new year, 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.520 and in another blink of an eye it'll be March, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.680 and then it'll be June. Right Like time is a 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:36.200 demon these days since the pandemic. And so I don't 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.680 want people to rest on their laurels and think, particularly 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.640 this fucking administration, and think that we just have things 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.760 in the bag, or you have the luxury of not 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.280 voting for Joe Biden, and I seem to be the 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.400 one of the only people that is consistently beating the 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.640 drum around that because like I'm paying attention to what's 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.160 going on, I'm paying attention to what is happening in Texas, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.320 what's going on in Florida, what's happening in Alabama, what's 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:11.360 happening in Arkansas. I'm watching them rid themselves of diversity, equity, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:18.040 and inclusion. I'm watching them change entire curriculums, make criminals 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.520 of women that are seeking abortion care, put black people, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.040 queer people, brown people not just back in the closet, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:30.880 but under a bus, underground, you know, fearful, fighting for 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:36.880 their lives. Their goal is to take away any access 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.159 to opportunity and possibility so that they can pave the 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:45.400 way once again for straight white CIS men. That's the 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:50.359 fucking goal. The demographic shift to them was nothing more 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:56.239 than a sounding alarm. When they heard that the demographics 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.200 were going to be shifting in this country and that 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.719 there were going to be more brown people than there 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:08.640 were white people, the Maga supremacy movement like put their 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:13.239 plan into turbocharge. How do we begin to do that, Well, folks, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.360 with start by overturning Rob Wade, which they've wanted to 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.400 do for the last forty years, But why was it 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.720 imperative to do now so that they can control white 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.160 women's uteruses. I put up a video about this, So 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.840 that they control white women's uteruses and can create more 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.320 white babies. They know, at the end of the day, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.520 their belief is that white women will always fall in 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.000 line with white men because that's where their power is. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.400 So when they see that white men are now out 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:51.040 assuming consuming more and more power, they know that all 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040 they have to do right is pat their little missus 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.040 on the head, put them back into the kitchen, and 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.600 keep cranking out those white babies so that they can 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:06.040 somehow race against the demographic clock. On top of that, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.080 how else do you continue to create a white supremacist 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.440 future and Christo fascist Disneyland. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:20.240 Well, I'll tell you. You also take control of the future 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.600 not only through white women's uteruses, but through what is 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:25.680 being taught. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:34.840 You are race. Any conversation or curriculum that includes the 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:41.880 accomplishments the existence outside of slavery from the history books, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:48.480 from social curriculum. For all of those LGBTQ people that 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:54.280 won marriage equality and then began to normalize the LGBTQ 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.720 experience in day to day life. Will you put a 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.480 halt to all of that, because for you, in order 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:05.040 for your crysto fascist fantasy to be realized, people need 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.280 to understand that marriage is only between a man and 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:12.120 a woman, that there is no alternative whatsoever. Right, So 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.559 we have to erase critical thought, We have to erase 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.760 empathy and compassion, and not only erase it, but put 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.320 in its place fear and disdain. So how do we 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:30.880 do that. We create an enemy of LGBTQ people and 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.120 remind them of those days harkening back to the eighties 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.760 when the AIDS crisis was at an all time high, 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.719 that the LGBTQ community is nothing more than groomors and pedophiles. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.199 So then if you choose to discard, you're only safeguarding 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:52.120 the children. We choose to discard them as human beings, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:58.440 equal of dignity, compassion, and representation. You can tell yourself 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.520 that you're only doing that to quote unqu vote save 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:05.160 the children. That was their campaign slogan back in the eighties. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.880 Everything that is being done right now is part of 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.880 a larger white supremacist takeover. I set it back in 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.680 twenty sixteen. This is white supremacy's last stand. But much 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.520 like the one hundred Year War, we don't know how 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:26.080 far into this thing that we are, because I didn't 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.280 say that the stand was gonna last, oh a year 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.200 or four years, or seven years or ten, right, But 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.480 what I do know is that they know that in 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.040 order for their plan to succeed, they need to take 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:44.560 every mechanism of power in the right way or in 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:49.960 the wrong way, it doesn't actually fucking matter. So all 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.080 they need to finish the hit job that Donald Trump 0:10:54.160 --> 0:11:00.040 started back in twenty sixteen is a disaffected voting pop. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:02.440 Right. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:15.080 Insert the war in Israel, the war that Israel is 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:23.239 waging that has become a super flash point in this country. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.200 The issue, well, to many is black and white. Either 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:33.800 you support oppression and injustice and violence and killing babies, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:38.000 or you don't, because you can't have it both ways. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:44.000 But the reality is that many young people, black people, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:49.120 and queer people, who are already in red States, who 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:53.960 are already experiencing what it means to be a part 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.079 of a segregated class, are not thinking wholly and completely 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.720 that things can absolutely get fucked worse. Because what they're 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.960 thinking is like, let's just burn the system down, but 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:12.320 then you have a raging inferno to go through. I 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.959 understand the anger and the frustration at this administration and 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.520 their stance right now, because I feel it every fucking day. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.080 The Biden administration is making it almost damn near impossible 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.520 for me and people like me to do our jobs, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.959 which is to educate the public to their power so 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.480 that they vote in order to hold onto our democracy 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.600 and hopefully get back into a place where we're not 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.360 just holding on, but we can actually then begin to 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.440 push forward. But we can't do that if Donald Trump 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.840 becomes president again, because people like me will absolutely need 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.920 to lead this country for our own safety. That is 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:58.080 not hyperbolic or a fucking joke. There were some that 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.360 stayed in Germany, and we know what happened to six 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:02.920 million of. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.840 Them, right. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.320 We also know what happened with the Great Migration here 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.160 in the United States when black people were fleeing the 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:20.640 South because of the rise and unabated domestic terrorism that 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.040 was happening at the hands of the KKK and other 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.920 white supremacist groups that were aided and abetted by the 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.880 federal government. There will be no safe space to go. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:38.200 There will be no safe place. They've already overturned one 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.480 hundred year old gun laws in blue cities in order 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.080 to make them just as a fucking unsafe as everywhere 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:50.079 else is. They want to institute a national abortion ban 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.720 right so they don't give a fuck about states' rights. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:14:00.400 This is about a takeover, and the sooner that folks 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:05.240 fucking recognize that, the better chance that we have of 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.000 fighting back. But if people are just willing to just 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.319 give up their vote to Donald Trump and say, oh 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.480 I can't possibly stomach Biden, I hope you can stomach 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:19.800 a fucking camp. Hope you make it through, because I'm 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.880 sure as fuck I'm not gonna be sitting around here 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.640 when Donald's waiting for Donald Trump to put his hand 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.000 on the fucking Bible and find out that my right 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:34.200 to my life is over. I'm not doing that. But 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.040 right now, while we have the time, this is what 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.800 I'm gonna be doing, which is trying to wake up 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.120 as many people as fucking possible. Because you think that 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.840 I am thrilled with my options right now, No the 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.600 fuck I am not. But I'm not looking at it 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.520 as an option between Oh god, I wish there was 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:57.160 another candidate. It's like, oh God, I really like freedom, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.080 even if it is freedom ish, even if it it 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:08.760 is democracy ish, even if it is readily unequal. I 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.800 still like my chances of being able to fight for perfection, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:18.720 then fight against fascism once it has arrived. So I 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:26.720 need people right to get really fucking crystal clear about 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:31.160 what is at stake. And I will say it in 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:37.360 till I'm blue in the face. We need the numbers. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.000 Twenty twenty four needs to not be a slim margin. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:46.560 It needs to be a fucking blowout for Biden. It 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.080 needs to be a blowout for democracy. It needs to 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:55.560 be a blowout for freedom, for possibility, for fucking hope. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.920 You don't do that by sitting on your ass at home. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.120 So when you go home, my dear listeners, who I 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.040 trust and believe know the truth, This message is not 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:13.840 for you. It is to give right, Give that gift, right, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:19.080 share what is at stake. Be very clear, be very real, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.640 be very steadfast. As you sit around these holiday tables 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.880 with family members that are either voting for Donald Trump 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.720 or telling you that they're not going to vote at all, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:36.560 paint the fucking picture, because folks need to get really 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.320 clear about the kind of life that they want to 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.960 be leading. You don't have to go back in the 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.080 history books. Just go to Florida right now, Go to 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.760 Texas right now. Talk to the woman that just had 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.920 to flee to go have an abortion because her baby 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.040 was unviable. Talk to the little ten year old boy 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.480 that just got two years of probation for your doornating 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.720 in a park behind his mother's car at ten years 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:12.760 old because he's black. Probation? Are we fucking kidding for 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:19.399 a child? Right? But these are the same people, you 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.600 know that shot and killed tam er Rice when he 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.920 was playing on a playground and the cop said, well, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.960 you look like he was twenty one, he was twelve. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.480 Look around this country right now. You don't have to 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:38.560 go to history as a guide. They are rolling out 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:45.119 their plans every single day in their petrie dish red states, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.879 and the Heritage Foundation, backed by billionaires, is ready to 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:54.359 go on day fucking one. And the questions that we 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.040 need to be asking ourselves is how ready are we? 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:09.399 How ready are we to recognize that sometimes it isn't 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:14.679 about perfection, that it's just about protecting what it is 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.200 that we have and then being in a position where 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.240 we can fight to gain back what We lost because 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:26.199 we were fucking negligent. Because it's same people that didn't 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:32.160 like Hillary Clinton couldn't stomach her put three fucking conservatives 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.359 on the Supreme Court and had us lose Roe v. Wade, 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.920 and up next marriage equality, and up after that Brown 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.879 versus the Board of Education, and probably going all the 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.040 way back to Plusy versus Ferguson. You don't remember that case, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:55.480 fucking google it. We are headed in the wrong direction 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:01.200 in this country, and these maga supremacs are chomping at 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:08.320 the bit waiting for there to be enough division, enough 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:14.000 descent to just swoop in and before you blake life 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:21.520 as you know it will be fucking done. Donald Trump 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:26.480 already tested the guardrails, he already tested the fence. He's 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.719 signing up for loyalty pledges, only he don't give a 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.639 fuck about the Constitution, the Bible, you or anybody else. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.240 And once he has that label of commander in chief 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:43.360 again the military, which is supposed to protect and defend, 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.159 all of a sudden, you will find yourself as the 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:56.720 enemy of the state with no way out. Those are facts. 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.639 You don't believe me. Go listen to his la the speech. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.280 It's time for people to wake up and I need 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:10.600 all my wok f listeners to start spreading the fucking news. 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.680 That is it for me today.
