Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker, Folks, 3 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: I am exhausted. This week has just been a lot. 4 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: It's been a lot of continued lies, fuckery, violence by 5 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the Republican Party and I'm so at this point just 6 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: turn off the news. Like honestly, I say this all 7 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: the time on social media, and I'm gonna say it again. 8 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: It's time to divest from quote unquote legacy media. It 9 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: is time to honestly let that place, the cable news sphere, 10 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: the New York Times of watching. But let these places 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: die the fuck out because they contribute absolutely nothing. And 12 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: what do I mean by that, Well, let me just 13 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: say this that over the last two weeks since the debate, 14 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: we have watched stochastic terrorism turn into real world terrorism 15 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: in Springfield, Ohio. We have watched the manipulation by Donald 16 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: Trump and JD. Vance in the media choose their words 17 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: to make the Haitian immigrant community the target of their 18 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: latest stream of racist attacks. We have watched the media 19 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: parrot the white supremacist statements by JD. Vance and Donald 20 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Trump as if to suggest that maybe there is some 21 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: merit into the conversation, or, as Jady Vance told Dana Bash, 22 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: the narrative that he's trying to create, or let me 23 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: just cut through all of that and say the lies 24 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: that he's trying to spin. Because even when called out 25 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: by the media and asked, where are you getting your 26 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: information from? Cause it's not the officials in Ohio, in Springfield, Ohio, 27 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: it's not coming from the mayor, it's not coming from 28 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: the police department. And Jady Vance's response, well, some of 29 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: my constituents, because they're investigative reporters now right, Like, so 30 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: that's where the sitting junior senator from Ohio is getting 31 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: his information that he is spreading to millions of people. 32 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: And so I look at these outlets and the fact 33 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: that and we've talked about this, the Saine washing that 34 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: has been done to kind of search through the absolute 35 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: mess and chaos and incoherent rambling narrative of Donald Trump 36 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: to try and piece together some sort of analysis, some 37 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: sort of policy measures that he may be talking about 38 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: when he's talking about how to elector or electric sharks 39 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: or whatever it is that comes to his stream of consciousness. 40 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: But when faced with when these media outlets are faced 41 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: with very easy to connect horrible, dehumanizing rhetoric, make the 42 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: connection to real world threats. They seem to just like 43 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: lose themselves. They just don't know what to do. And 44 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: so I'm saying to folks, you know what, get out 45 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: of these places, unsubscribe because I'm just so exhausted with 46 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: their And it's not even an inability, so let me 47 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: not even call that, right. They just don't want to. 48 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: It's not that they don't know how, they just don't 49 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: want to connect the dots for you, because what's better 50 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: for their bottom line is this bullshit horse race that 51 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to present to the American people as if 52 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: these two parties are the same, you have one that 53 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: is readily contributing to a rise in political violence against 54 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: whatever group they deem to be poisoning the blood of 55 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: this country to be unacceptable or un American. That day, 56 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because I've talked about it 57 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: multiple times now on different shows. Right, and here's the thing. 58 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen, Donald Trump comes down that TACKI golden escalator, Right, 59 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: who is he talking about Mexicans as rapists and drug 60 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: dealers coming across our borders? Then it is Muslims. He 61 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: gets into office and it's the Muslim pan We can't 62 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: have these people in our country, right, because it's a 63 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: quote unquote Christian nation and all of these countries are terrible. 64 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: So Mexicans twenty sixteen, Muslims twenty seventeen. Then where does 65 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump go? Shithole countries? Right, African nations? Then where 66 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: does Donald Trump go? Oh, it's COVID and so we're 67 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: going to start calling it kung flu and the China flu. 68 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: And what are we seeing in each of these instances? 69 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: What follows the rise in violence against the community that 70 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: he is targeting? Then after Asian Americans are the targets 71 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: and being attacked, then where does he go? Trans people right, 72 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. Then it's bomb threats at drag Story 73 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: times right, and libraries are shutting down and going on lockdowns. 74 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: Then where does he go? Right? Next up on the 75 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: hit list literally Haitians right, who are in this country legally? 76 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't need to say that because you know, frankly, 77 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't actually give a fuck, but it is important 78 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: because what most sane people think is that, regardless of 79 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: your citizenship status, you should not live a life that 80 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: is unsafe because of the rhetoric from one of the 81 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: biggest politicians with siny million followers, who at the drop 82 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: of a hat says, go take your country back. And 83 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: then what do those people do attack the Capitol building 84 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: each of these instances, each of these groups that I named, 85 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether or not you identify with any 86 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: of them. What matters is you're next in the queue. 87 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Your number will be called to. And you know who's 88 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: not alerting people to that mainstream corporate media because they 89 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: would rather print bullshit that jd Vance says, like these 90 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: two attempted assassination attempts on Donald Trump are because of 91 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: Democrat rhetoric. Sir, do you think that we're stupid? Because 92 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: I believe that they do. I believe that they think 93 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: that we're dumb and that we don't know who not 94 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: only lights the spark, who drops it into the bonfire, 95 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: who blows the air on it and pours gasoline everywhere? 96 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: It's the Republican Party. So you can't continue to navigate 97 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: and tell the stories about the importance of this election 98 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: without telling people the truth. And this is why I 99 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: tell you to divest. Go to places like social media, 100 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: YouTube podcasters like myself, right, like, go to spaces where 101 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: you can find trusted voices that are going to tell 102 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: you the truth, because these places, these legacy spaces, are 103 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: paid to fucking live to you. I just in an 104 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: interview for my other show, The New Abnormal, right, and 105 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking to this guest and he said something so 106 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: good and I want to repeat it here. David Rothkoff, 107 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: who is a writer at The Daily Beast, he said, 108 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: you know why Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are not 109 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: doing the traditional thing of going and having sit downs 110 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: with legacy media because they know that it's dying, and 111 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: they know that legacy media is no longer to be 112 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: trusted with the awesome responsibility of informing the public. Why 113 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: am I going to sit down with people who lie 114 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: to me on a regular basis, who lie about me 115 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: on a regular basis, Like, how does that make sense? Instead, 116 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: they are going directly to the American people and having conversations. 117 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: They are using their own social media platforms to engage 118 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: in conversation with those that are unable to attend their rallies. 119 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: They're sitting down with people in new media because what 120 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: purpose do these outlets have I guess they're holders for advertisers, 121 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: but in terms of the value that I used to 122 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: place on places like The New York Times and The 123 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: Washington Post, I mean outside of their book review sections 124 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: and the style, I don't really care. I don't take 125 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: anything that they say. Have you seen some of their 126 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: editorial board pieces that have gone up And I'm like, somebody, 127 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: let that leave the newsroom. If you really cared, right, 128 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: what is it? The Washington Post says, oh, you know, 129 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: democracy dies in darkness. No democracy dies because legacy media 130 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: turns off the fucking lights. They're not shining a light 131 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: on any goddamn thing except to create these false equivalencies 132 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: of both sides. Well, again, if both sides their agism 133 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: and questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity drove that man 134 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: from the ticket, I am grateful right that Joe Biden 135 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: decided to step aside and endorse Kamala Harris. So I'm 136 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: not saying that, But if you have questions about Joe 137 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: Biden's age and mental acuity, then where is the same 138 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: barrage of reporting and headlines around Donald Trump now being 139 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: the oldest person in the race who does not know 140 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: where he is he's in Arizona, but he shouts out 141 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia that again is going on these extraordinarily long winded 142 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: rambling fits where his own supporters are walking out of 143 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: his rallies. But where are the headlines about that? Where 144 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: are the questions about Donald Trump's mental fitness? When you 145 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: saw the cliff at the Economic Club of New York 146 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: where Donald Trump is asked about childcare and the economy, 147 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: and this mffort goes off on a tangent and just 148 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: says the word childcare over and over again and then 149 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: throws in tariffs. And I saw a headline from the 150 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: AP that said Donald Trump gave an economic speech. Bitch, 151 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: where were we listening to the same thing? Because it 152 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: couldn't possibly be. And so when people are readily seeing 153 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: these stark contrasts between what they are actually hearing and seeing, 154 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: like they did on the debate stage two weeks ago, 155 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: sixty million people saw Donald Trump for who he was, 156 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: and some of them for the first time this cycle. 157 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,239 Speaker 1: Because while I know the folks that listen to WOKP 158 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: are like in the weeds on things in the same 159 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: way that I am, the average American person is not 160 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: paying attention. So they tuned in that night, Donald Trump 161 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: has asked questions about abortion, he goes off on a 162 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: tangent about crowd size. Nothing that that man said made 163 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: any sense and it was alarming. But did they report 164 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: it that way? Nope, they did not. So when I 165 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: think about the role that we have right as citizens 166 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: of this country to keep ourselves informed, it cannot be 167 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: through the same means that we have been using, because 168 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: we have to ask the question who is this really for? 169 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: Is it for my education so that I can make 170 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: informed decisions? Is it for the shareholders and CEOs so 171 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: that they can make more money? Who is it for? 172 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: Because you all know that when I talk, whether it's here, 173 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: whether it's making videos on my YouTube channel, right, whether 174 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: it's on social media, you know that I am for 175 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: educating the public. That's what my job is, to make 176 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: sense out of nonsense. And I'm not taking, you know, 177 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: big backings from anywhere. That's why I stay independent and 178 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: only link in partner with places that allow me to 179 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: do so, because otherwise I'm out. Now. Unfortunately, I have integrity, 180 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: which means that I am not wealthy, but that's just 181 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: something that I have to live with. I want to 182 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: switch gears for a moment on this fucking Friday. Also 183 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: to bring attention to recent poll numbers. Now you know 184 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: that I say I don't care about polls. I like 185 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: to bring them up, however, because it is connected to 186 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: what I've been talking about. Recent Fox News poll comes 187 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: out with regard to independence, and I've shared this on 188 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: the brokedown site Twitter. Independence on August eighth were eight 189 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: plus points in the bag for Donald Trump. Now, as 190 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: of the time this poll was done, which was September sixteen, 191 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: plus twelve for Harris, Donald Trump is bleeding independence, and 192 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: I think it is largely because people are finally coming 193 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: to the place where they are fucking exhausted, where they 194 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: are just tired, where they are walking in real time. 195 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: How the violent rhetoric coming from the Republican Party, coming 196 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: from the top of the ticket is traumatizing and terrorizing 197 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: a small town in Ohio. Recognizing that this can be 198 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: any place USA that Donald Trump and jd Vance decide 199 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: to lie about create a story around. People want stability, 200 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: they want normalcy. I personally would love to go back 201 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: to a place where guess what I didn't think about 202 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: every day the president of the United States. I'd like 203 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: to just focus on other policy issues, other things that 204 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: are happening, but not the mental fitness and whether or 205 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: not that mf or is going to tweet us into 206 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: World War three that he's so keen on. By the way, 207 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: Independent right are people who supposedly decide things issue by issue, 208 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: but I think in this case that they are looking 209 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: at Donald Trump over the last eight years and saying 210 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: I can't go through four to infinity because, by the way, 211 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: another podcast that JD. Vance was on because apparently there's 212 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: not a lot of work to do as a senator, 213 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: he says that Republicans need to be quote unquote ruthless 214 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: about their pursuit of power and that if they need 215 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: to overthrow systems, then so be it. So these are 216 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,239 Speaker 1: not people that are interested in participating in democracy, that 217 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: are interested in collaboration on ideas that are good for 218 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: the American people. It's either their way or no way. 219 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: And I do believe that as we get closer and 220 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: closer to this election, which as of the time that 221 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: you all are listening to this, we are forty six 222 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: days away, that the violence that they are going to 223 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: rain down will ratchet up because they are not going 224 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: to be satisfied until people are killed, and then they're 225 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: going to use that as a way to say, this 226 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: is why we need a strong police state, and we 227 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: need X, Y and Z. They create the violence, they 228 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: yell fire in the theater, drop a bomb to actually 229 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: create the fire. Then they want to fool you into 230 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: believing that they are the firefighters. Make it make sense 231 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: because it does not, but people fall for it. I'll 232 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: say this in closing today. There is also a video 233 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: circulating of Donald Trump on Long Island, Suffolk County, Long Island, 234 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: where where I'm from. It's packed because an area that 235 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: I grew up in that was largely Democratic, middle working 236 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and middle class, and some upper class people have just 237 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: abandoned the Democratic Party in lieu of wanting whiteness. It's 238 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: not the place that I grew up in, but I 239 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: saw the arena full, and I'm like, this is what 240 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: they want. White people pumping their fists in the air right, 241 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: thinking that everyone is the enemy, that their way of 242 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: life would be preserved if only those people didn't exhipt it, 243 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: if only those people weren't there. If we can just 244 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: get rid of the gates, send the women back to 245 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: the kitchen, get rid of the blacks or put them 246 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: in their place, then all would be well. Rather than 247 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: creating industry right that people are able to live on, 248 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: you just give them somebody to point the finger at 249 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: so that they don't have to play a part in 250 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: being responsible for how their lives turned out. I love 251 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Long Island, but when I saw those images, I was disgusted. 252 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: But when I go to visit my hometown, right there 253 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: is a mix of Trump flex in places that had 254 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: been represented by Democrats my whole life. So you know, 255 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: we are up against a lot in these forty six days, 256 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: and I believe that things, and I've said this before, 257 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: will get bloodier before they get better. But we have 258 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: got to keep doing the work. We have got to 259 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: keep organizing, we've got to keep donating, We've got to 260 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: keep talking to each other and making the case, even 261 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: if it's hard, because there is just way too much 262 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: at stake for us to think that this is a 263 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. Because it's either us or them come November, 264 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: and I want it to be us because I don't 265 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: want to live inside of their dystopian America. That is 266 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: it for me today. Dear friends on woke af as 267 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: always power to the people and to all the people power. 268 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
