WEBVTT - Turn Off the News

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, keeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Me your Girl. Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker, Folks,

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I am exhausted. This week has just been a lot.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>It's been a lot of continued lies, fuckery, violence by

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party and I'm so at this point just

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>turn off the news. Like honestly, I say this all

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the time on social media, and I'm gonna say it again.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>It's time to divest from quote unquote legacy media. It

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>is time to honestly let that place, the cable news sphere,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times of watching. But let these places

0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>die the fuck out because they contribute absolutely nothing. And

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>what do I mean by that, Well, let me just

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>say this that over the last two weeks since the debate,

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>we have watched stochastic terrorism turn into real world terrorism

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 1>in Springfield, Ohio. We have watched the manipulation by Donald

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump and JD. Vance in the media choose their words

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to make the Haitian immigrant community the target of their

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>latest stream of racist attacks. We have watched the media

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>parrot the white supremacist statements by JD. Vance and Donald

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump as if to suggest that maybe there is some

0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>merit into the conversation, or, as Jady Vance told Dana Bash,

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the narrative that he's trying to create, or let me

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.799
<v Speaker 1>just cut through all of that and say the lies

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that he's trying to spin. Because even when called out

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>by the media and asked, where are you getting your

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>information from? Cause it's not the officials in Ohio, in Springfield, Ohio,

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not coming from the mayor, it's not coming from

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the police department. And Jady Vance's response, well, some of

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>my constituents, because they're investigative reporters now right, Like, so

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that's where the sitting junior senator from Ohio is getting

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>his information that he is spreading to millions of people.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And so I look at these outlets and the fact

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that and we've talked about this, the Saine washing that

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>has been done to kind of search through the absolute

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>mess and chaos and incoherent rambling narrative of Donald Trump

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>to try and piece together some sort of analysis, some

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>sort of policy measures that he may be talking about

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>when he's talking about how to elector or electric sharks

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it is that comes to his stream of consciousness.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>But when faced with when these media outlets are faced

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>with very easy to connect horrible, dehumanizing rhetoric, make the

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>connection to real world threats. They seem to just like

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>lose themselves. They just don't know what to do. And

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>so I'm saying to folks, you know what, get out

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of these places, unsubscribe because I'm just so exhausted with

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>their And it's not even an inability, so let me

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>not even call that, right. They just don't want to.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not that they don't know how, they just don't

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>want to connect the dots for you, because what's better

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>for their bottom line is this bullshit horse race that

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to present to the American people as if

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>these two parties are the same, you have one that

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>is readily contributing to a rise in political violence against

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever group they deem to be poisoning the blood of

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>this country to be unacceptable or un American. That day,

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about this because I've talked about it

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>multiple times now on different shows. Right, and here's the thing.

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Twenty fifteen, Donald Trump comes down that TACKI golden escalator, Right,

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.799
<v Speaker 1>who is he talking about Mexicans as rapists and drug

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>dealers coming across our borders? Then it is Muslims. He

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>gets into office and it's the Muslim pan We can't

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have these people in our country, right, because it's a

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote Christian nation and all of these countries are terrible.

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So Mexicans twenty sixteen, Muslims twenty seventeen. Then where does

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump go? Shithole countries? Right, African nations? Then where

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>does Donald Trump go? Oh, it's COVID and so we're

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>going to start calling it kung flu and the China flu.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And what are we seeing in each of these instances?

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>What follows the rise in violence against the community that

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>he is targeting? Then after Asian Americans are the targets

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and being attacked, then where does he go? Trans people right,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the LGBTQ community. Then it's bomb threats at drag Story

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>times right, and libraries are shutting down and going on lockdowns.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Then where does he go? Right? Next up on the

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>hit list literally Haitians right, who are in this country legally?

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to say that because you know, frankly,

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually give a fuck, but it is important

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>because what most sane people think is that, regardless of

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>your citizenship status, you should not live a life that

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>is unsafe because of the rhetoric from one of the

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>biggest politicians with siny million followers, who at the drop

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>of a hat says, go take your country back. And

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>then what do those people do attack the Capitol building

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>each of these instances, each of these groups that I named,

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter whether or not you identify with any

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.119
<v Speaker 1>of them. What matters is you're next in the queue.

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Your number will be called to. And you know who's

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>not alerting people to that mainstream corporate media because they

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>would rather print bullshit that jd Vance says, like these

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>two attempted assassination attempts on Donald Trump are because of

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrat rhetoric. Sir, do you think that we're stupid? Because

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that they do. I believe that they think

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that we're dumb and that we don't know who not

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>only lights the spark, who drops it into the bonfire,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>who blows the air on it and pours gasoline everywhere?

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the Republican Party. So you can't continue to navigate

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and tell the stories about the importance of this election

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>without telling people the truth. And this is why I

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you to divest. Go to places like social media,

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>YouTube podcasters like myself, right, like, go to spaces where

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 1>you can find trusted voices that are going to tell

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:44.079
<v Speaker 1>you the truth, because these places, these legacy spaces, are

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>paid to fucking live to you. I just in an

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>interview for my other show, The New Abnormal, right, and

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to this guest and he said something so

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>good and I want to repeat it here. David Rothkoff,

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>who is a writer at The Daily Beast, he said,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you know why Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are not

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>doing the traditional thing of going and having sit downs

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>with legacy media because they know that it's dying, and

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>they know that legacy media is no longer to be

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>trusted with the awesome responsibility of informing the public. Why

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>am I going to sit down with people who lie

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to me on a regular basis, who lie about me

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, Like, how does that make sense? Instead,

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>they are going directly to the American people and having conversations.

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>They are using their own social media platforms to engage

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in conversation with those that are unable to attend their rallies.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>They're sitting down with people in new media because what

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>purpose do these outlets have I guess they're holders for advertisers,

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>but in terms of the value that I used to

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>place on places like The New York Times and The

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, I mean outside of their book review sections

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and the style, I don't really care. I don't take

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>anything that they say. Have you seen some of their

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>editorial board pieces that have gone up And I'm like, somebody,

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>let that leave the newsroom. If you really cared, right,

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>what is it? The Washington Post says, oh, you know,

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>democracy dies in darkness. No democracy dies because legacy media

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>turns off the fucking lights. They're not shining a light

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>on any goddamn thing except to create these false equivalencies

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of both sides. Well, again, if both sides their agism

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity drove that man

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>from the ticket, I am grateful right that Joe Biden

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>decided to step aside and endorse Kamala Harris. So I'm

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>not saying that, But if you have questions about Joe

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Biden's age and mental acuity, then where is the same

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>barrage of reporting and headlines around Donald Trump now being

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the oldest person in the race who does not know

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>where he is he's in Arizona, but he shouts out

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia that again is going on these extraordinarily long winded

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>rambling fits where his own supporters are walking out of

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>his rallies. But where are the headlines about that? Where

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>are the questions about Donald Trump's mental fitness? When you

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>saw the cliff at the Economic Club of New York

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>where Donald Trump is asked about childcare and the economy,

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and this mffort goes off on a tangent and just

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>says the word childcare over and over again and then

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>throws in tariffs. And I saw a headline from the

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>AP that said Donald Trump gave an economic speech. Bitch,

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:38.319
<v Speaker 1>where were we listening to the same thing? Because it

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't possibly be. And so when people are readily seeing

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>these stark contrasts between what they are actually hearing and seeing,

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>like they did on the debate stage two weeks ago,

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty million people saw Donald Trump for who he was,

0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and some of them for the first time this cycle.

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Because while I know the folks that listen to WOKP

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>are like in the weeds on things in the same

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>way that I am, the average American person is not

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>paying attention. So they tuned in that night, Donald Trump

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>has asked questions about abortion, he goes off on a

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>tangent about crowd size. Nothing that that man said made

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>any sense and it was alarming. But did they report

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it that way? Nope, they did not. So when I

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>think about the role that we have right as citizens

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>of this country to keep ourselves informed, it cannot be

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>through the same means that we have been using, because

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we have to ask the question who is this really for?

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it for my education so that I can make

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>informed decisions? Is it for the shareholders and CEOs so

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that they can make more money? Who is it for?

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Because you all know that when I talk, whether it's here,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it's making videos on my YouTube channel, right, whether

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>it's on social media, you know that I am for

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>educating the public. That's what my job is, to make

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>sense out of nonsense. And I'm not taking, you know,

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>big backings from anywhere. That's why I stay independent and

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>only link in partner with places that allow me to

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>do so, because otherwise I'm out. Now. Unfortunately, I have integrity,

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>which means that I am not wealthy, but that's just

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>something that I have to live with. I want to

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>switch gears for a moment on this fucking Friday. Also

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to bring attention to recent poll numbers. Now you know

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that I say I don't care about polls. I like

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to bring them up, however, because it is connected to

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>what I've been talking about. Recent Fox News poll comes

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>out with regard to independence, and I've shared this on

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the brokedown site Twitter. Independence on August eighth were eight

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>plus points in the bag for Donald Trump. Now, as

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of the time this poll was done, which was September sixteen,

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>plus twelve for Harris, Donald Trump is bleeding independence, and

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it is largely because people are finally coming

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to the place where they are fucking exhausted, where they

0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>are just tired, where they are walking in real time.

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>How the violent rhetoric coming from the Republican Party, coming

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>from the top of the ticket is traumatizing and terrorizing

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a small town in Ohio. Recognizing that this can be

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>any place USA that Donald Trump and jd Vance decide

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to lie about create a story around. People want stability,

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>they want normalcy. I personally would love to go back

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to a place where guess what I didn't think about

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 1>every day the president of the United States. I'd like

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to just focus on other policy issues, other things that

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 1>are happening, but not the mental fitness and whether or

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>not that mf or is going to tweet us into

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>World War three that he's so keen on. By the way,

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Independent right are people who supposedly decide things issue by issue,

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 1>but I think in this case that they are looking

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>at Donald Trump over the last eight years and saying

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't go through four to infinity because, by the way,

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>another podcast that JD. Vance was on because apparently there's

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of work to do as a senator,

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>he says that Republicans need to be quote unquote ruthless

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.120
<v Speaker 1>about their pursuit of power and that if they need

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to overthrow systems, then so be it. So these are

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:47.239
<v Speaker 1>not people that are interested in participating in democracy, that

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 1>are interested in collaboration on ideas that are good for

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the American people. It's either their way or no way.

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And I do believe that as we get closer and

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>closer to this election, which as of the time that

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you all are listening to this, we are forty six

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>days away, that the violence that they are going to

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>rain down will ratchet up because they are not going

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>to be satisfied until people are killed, and then they're

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>going to use that as a way to say, this

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>is why we need a strong police state, and we

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 1>need X, Y and Z. They create the violence, they

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>yell fire in the theater, drop a bomb to actually

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>create the fire. Then they want to fool you into

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>believing that they are the firefighters. Make it make sense

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:49.880
<v Speaker 1>because it does not, but people fall for it. I'll

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>say this in closing today. There is also a video

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>circulating of Donald Trump on Long Island, Suffolk County, Long Island,

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>where where I'm from. It's packed because an area that

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in that was largely Democratic, middle working

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and middle class, and some upper class people have just

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>abandoned the Democratic Party in lieu of wanting whiteness. It's

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>not the place that I grew up in, but I

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>saw the arena full, and I'm like, this is what

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 1>they want. White people pumping their fists in the air right,

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.439
<v Speaker 1>thinking that everyone is the enemy, that their way of

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 1>life would be preserved if only those people didn't exhipt it,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>if only those people weren't there. If we can just

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.199
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the gates, send the women back to

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen, get rid of the blacks or put them

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>in their place, then all would be well. Rather than

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 1>creating industry right that people are able to live on,

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you just give them somebody to point the finger at

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 1>so that they don't have to play a part in

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>being responsible for how their lives turned out. I love

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Long Island, but when I saw those images, I was disgusted.

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 1>But when I go to visit my hometown, right there

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is a mix of Trump flex in places that had

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 1>been represented by Democrats my whole life. So you know,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>we are up against a lot in these forty six days,

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and I believe that things, and I've said this before,

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 1>will get bloodier before they get better. But we have

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>got to keep doing the work. We have got to

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>keep organizing, we've got to keep donating, We've got to

0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>keep talking to each other and making the case, even

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 1>if it's hard, because there is just way too much

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 1>at stake for us to think that this is a

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>foregone conclusion. Because it's either us or them come November,

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and I want it to be us because I don't

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>want to live inside of their dystopian America. That is

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.399
<v Speaker 1>it for me today. Dear friends on woke af as

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 1>always power to the people and to all the people power.

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
