Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with
Speaker 1: Me your Girl. Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker, Folks,
Speaker 1: I am exhausted. This week has just been a lot.
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of continued lies, fuckery, violence by
Speaker 1: the Republican Party and I'm so at this point just
Speaker 1: turn off the news. Like honestly, I say this all
Speaker 1: the time on social media, and I'm gonna say it again.
Speaker 1: It's time to divest from quote unquote legacy media. It
Speaker 1: is time to honestly let that place, the cable news sphere,
Speaker 1: the New York Times of watching. But let these places
Speaker 1: die the fuck out because they contribute absolutely nothing. And
Speaker 1: what do I mean by that, Well, let me just
Speaker 1: say this that over the last two weeks since the debate,
Speaker 1: we have watched stochastic terrorism turn into real world terrorism
Speaker 1: in Springfield, Ohio. We have watched the manipulation by Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and JD. Vance in the media choose their words
Speaker 1: to make the Haitian immigrant community the target of their
Speaker 1: latest stream of racist attacks. We have watched the media
Speaker 1: parrot the white supremacist statements by JD. Vance and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump as if to suggest that maybe there is some
Speaker 1: merit into the conversation, or, as Jady Vance told Dana Bash,
Speaker 1: the narrative that he's trying to create, or let me
Speaker 1: just cut through all of that and say the lies
Speaker 1: that he's trying to spin. Because even when called out
Speaker 1: by the media and asked, where are you getting your
Speaker 1: information from? Cause it's not the officials in Ohio, in Springfield, Ohio,
Speaker 1: it's not coming from the mayor, it's not coming from
Speaker 1: the police department. And Jady Vance's response, well, some of
Speaker 1: my constituents, because they're investigative reporters now right, Like, so
Speaker 1: that's where the sitting junior senator from Ohio is getting
Speaker 1: his information that he is spreading to millions of people.
Speaker 1: And so I look at these outlets and the fact
Speaker 1: that and we've talked about this, the Saine washing that
Speaker 1: has been done to kind of search through the absolute
Speaker 1: mess and chaos and incoherent rambling narrative of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to try and piece together some sort of analysis, some
Speaker 1: sort of policy measures that he may be talking about
Speaker 1: when he's talking about how to elector or electric sharks
Speaker 1: or whatever it is that comes to his stream of consciousness.
Speaker 1: But when faced with when these media outlets are faced
Speaker 1: with very easy to connect horrible, dehumanizing rhetoric, make the
Speaker 1: connection to real world threats. They seem to just like
Speaker 1: lose themselves. They just don't know what to do. And
Speaker 1: so I'm saying to folks, you know what, get out
Speaker 1: of these places, unsubscribe because I'm just so exhausted with
Speaker 1: their And it's not even an inability, so let me
Speaker 1: not even call that, right. They just don't want to.
Speaker 1: It's not that they don't know how, they just don't
Speaker 1: want to connect the dots for you, because what's better
Speaker 1: for their bottom line is this bullshit horse race that
Speaker 1: they're trying to present to the American people as if
Speaker 1: these two parties are the same, you have one that
Speaker 1: is readily contributing to a rise in political violence against
Speaker 1: whatever group they deem to be poisoning the blood of
Speaker 1: this country to be unacceptable or un American. That day,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because I've talked about it
Speaker 1: multiple times now on different shows. Right, and here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen, Donald Trump comes down that TACKI golden escalator, Right,
Speaker 1: who is he talking about Mexicans as rapists and drug
Speaker 1: dealers coming across our borders? Then it is Muslims. He
Speaker 1: gets into office and it's the Muslim pan We can't
Speaker 1: have these people in our country, right, because it's a
Speaker 1: quote unquote Christian nation and all of these countries are terrible.
Speaker 1: So Mexicans twenty sixteen, Muslims twenty seventeen. Then where does
Speaker 1: Donald Trump go? Shithole countries? Right, African nations? Then where
Speaker 1: does Donald Trump go? Oh, it's COVID and so we're
Speaker 1: going to start calling it kung flu and the China flu.
Speaker 1: And what are we seeing in each of these instances?
Speaker 1: What follows the rise in violence against the community that
Speaker 1: he is targeting? Then after Asian Americans are the targets
Speaker 1: and being attacked, then where does he go? Trans people right,
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. Then it's bomb threats at drag Story
Speaker 1: times right, and libraries are shutting down and going on lockdowns.
Speaker 1: Then where does he go? Right? Next up on the
Speaker 1: hit list literally Haitians right, who are in this country legally?
Speaker 1: I don't need to say that because you know, frankly,
Speaker 1: I don't actually give a fuck, but it is important
Speaker 1: because what most sane people think is that, regardless of
Speaker 1: your citizenship status, you should not live a life that
Speaker 1: is unsafe because of the rhetoric from one of the
Speaker 1: biggest politicians with siny million followers, who at the drop
Speaker 1: of a hat says, go take your country back. And
Speaker 1: then what do those people do attack the Capitol building
Speaker 1: each of these instances, each of these groups that I named,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether or not you identify with any
Speaker 1: of them. What matters is you're next in the queue.
Speaker 1: Your number will be called to. And you know who's
Speaker 1: not alerting people to that mainstream corporate media because they
Speaker 1: would rather print bullshit that jd Vance says, like these
Speaker 1: two attempted assassination attempts on Donald Trump are because of
Speaker 1: Democrat rhetoric. Sir, do you think that we're stupid? Because
Speaker 1: I believe that they do. I believe that they think
Speaker 1: that we're dumb and that we don't know who not
Speaker 1: only lights the spark, who drops it into the bonfire,
Speaker 1: who blows the air on it and pours gasoline everywhere?
Speaker 1: It's the Republican Party. So you can't continue to navigate
Speaker 1: and tell the stories about the importance of this election
Speaker 1: without telling people the truth. And this is why I
Speaker 1: tell you to divest. Go to places like social media,
Speaker 1: YouTube podcasters like myself, right, like, go to spaces where
Speaker 1: you can find trusted voices that are going to tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, because these places, these legacy spaces, are
Speaker 1: paid to fucking live to you. I just in an
Speaker 1: interview for my other show, The New Abnormal, right, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking to this guest and he said something so
Speaker 1: good and I want to repeat it here. David Rothkoff,
Speaker 1: who is a writer at The Daily Beast, he said,
Speaker 1: you know why Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are not
Speaker 1: doing the traditional thing of going and having sit downs
Speaker 1: with legacy media because they know that it's dying, and
Speaker 1: they know that legacy media is no longer to be
Speaker 1: trusted with the awesome responsibility of informing the public. Why
Speaker 1: am I going to sit down with people who lie
Speaker 1: to me on a regular basis, who lie about me
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, Like, how does that make sense? Instead,
Speaker 1: they are going directly to the American people and having conversations.
Speaker 1: They are using their own social media platforms to engage
Speaker 1: in conversation with those that are unable to attend their rallies.
Speaker 1: They're sitting down with people in new media because what
Speaker 1: purpose do these outlets have I guess they're holders for advertisers,
Speaker 1: but in terms of the value that I used to
Speaker 1: place on places like The New York Times and The
Speaker 1: Washington Post, I mean outside of their book review sections
Speaker 1: and the style, I don't really care. I don't take
Speaker 1: anything that they say. Have you seen some of their
Speaker 1: editorial board pieces that have gone up And I'm like, somebody,
Speaker 1: let that leave the newsroom. If you really cared, right,
Speaker 1: what is it? The Washington Post says, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: democracy dies in darkness. No democracy dies because legacy media
Speaker 1: turns off the fucking lights. They're not shining a light
Speaker 1: on any goddamn thing except to create these false equivalencies
Speaker 1: of both sides. Well, again, if both sides their agism
Speaker 1: and questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity drove that man
Speaker 1: from the ticket, I am grateful right that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: decided to step aside and endorse Kamala Harris. So I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that, But if you have questions about Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's age and mental acuity, then where is the same
Speaker 1: barrage of reporting and headlines around Donald Trump now being
Speaker 1: the oldest person in the race who does not know
Speaker 1: where he is he's in Arizona, but he shouts out
Speaker 1: Philadelphia that again is going on these extraordinarily long winded
Speaker 1: rambling fits where his own supporters are walking out of
Speaker 1: his rallies. But where are the headlines about that? Where
Speaker 1: are the questions about Donald Trump's mental fitness? When you
Speaker 1: saw the cliff at the Economic Club of New York
Speaker 1: where Donald Trump is asked about childcare and the economy,
Speaker 1: and this mffort goes off on a tangent and just
Speaker 1: says the word childcare over and over again and then
Speaker 1: throws in tariffs. And I saw a headline from the
Speaker 1: AP that said Donald Trump gave an economic speech. Bitch,
Speaker 1: where were we listening to the same thing? Because it
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly be. And so when people are readily seeing
Speaker 1: these stark contrasts between what they are actually hearing and seeing,
Speaker 1: like they did on the debate stage two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: sixty million people saw Donald Trump for who he was,
Speaker 1: and some of them for the first time this cycle.
Speaker 1: Because while I know the folks that listen to WOKP
Speaker 1: are like in the weeds on things in the same
Speaker 1: way that I am, the average American person is not
Speaker 1: paying attention. So they tuned in that night, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has asked questions about abortion, he goes off on a
Speaker 1: tangent about crowd size. Nothing that that man said made
Speaker 1: any sense and it was alarming. But did they report
Speaker 1: it that way? Nope, they did not. So when I
Speaker 1: think about the role that we have right as citizens
Speaker 1: of this country to keep ourselves informed, it cannot be
Speaker 1: through the same means that we have been using, because
Speaker 1: we have to ask the question who is this really for?
Speaker 1: Is it for my education so that I can make
Speaker 1: informed decisions? Is it for the shareholders and CEOs so
Speaker 1: that they can make more money? Who is it for?
Speaker 1: Because you all know that when I talk, whether it's here,
Speaker 1: whether it's making videos on my YouTube channel, right, whether
Speaker 1: it's on social media, you know that I am for
Speaker 1: educating the public. That's what my job is, to make
Speaker 1: sense out of nonsense. And I'm not taking, you know,
Speaker 1: big backings from anywhere. That's why I stay independent and
Speaker 1: only link in partner with places that allow me to
Speaker 1: do so, because otherwise I'm out. Now. Unfortunately, I have integrity,
Speaker 1: which means that I am not wealthy, but that's just
Speaker 1: something that I have to live with. I want to
Speaker 1: switch gears for a moment on this fucking Friday. Also
Speaker 1: to bring attention to recent poll numbers. Now you know
Speaker 1: that I say I don't care about polls. I like
Speaker 1: to bring them up, however, because it is connected to
Speaker 1: what I've been talking about. Recent Fox News poll comes
Speaker 1: out with regard to independence, and I've shared this on
Speaker 1: the brokedown site Twitter. Independence on August eighth were eight
Speaker 1: plus points in the bag for Donald Trump. Now, as
Speaker 1: of the time this poll was done, which was September sixteen,
Speaker 1: plus twelve for Harris, Donald Trump is bleeding independence, and
Speaker 1: I think it is largely because people are finally coming
Speaker 1: to the place where they are fucking exhausted, where they
Speaker 1: are just tired, where they are walking in real time.
Speaker 1: How the violent rhetoric coming from the Republican Party, coming
Speaker 1: from the top of the ticket is traumatizing and terrorizing
Speaker 1: a small town in Ohio. Recognizing that this can be
Speaker 1: any place USA that Donald Trump and jd Vance decide
Speaker 1: to lie about create a story around. People want stability,
Speaker 1: they want normalcy. I personally would love to go back
Speaker 1: to a place where guess what I didn't think about
Speaker 1: every day the president of the United States. I'd like
Speaker 1: to just focus on other policy issues, other things that
Speaker 1: are happening, but not the mental fitness and whether or
Speaker 1: not that mf or is going to tweet us into
Speaker 1: World War three that he's so keen on. By the way,
Speaker 1: Independent right are people who supposedly decide things issue by issue,
Speaker 1: but I think in this case that they are looking
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump over the last eight years and saying
Speaker 1: I can't go through four to infinity because, by the way,
Speaker 1: another podcast that JD. Vance was on because apparently there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of work to do as a senator,
Speaker 1: he says that Republicans need to be quote unquote ruthless
Speaker 1: about their pursuit of power and that if they need
Speaker 1: to overthrow systems, then so be it. So these are
Speaker 1: not people that are interested in participating in democracy, that
Speaker 1: are interested in collaboration on ideas that are good for
Speaker 1: the American people. It's either their way or no way.
Speaker 1: And I do believe that as we get closer and
Speaker 1: closer to this election, which as of the time that
Speaker 1: you all are listening to this, we are forty six
Speaker 1: days away, that the violence that they are going to
Speaker 1: rain down will ratchet up because they are not going
Speaker 1: to be satisfied until people are killed, and then they're
Speaker 1: going to use that as a way to say, this
Speaker 1: is why we need a strong police state, and we
Speaker 1: need X, Y and Z. They create the violence, they
Speaker 1: yell fire in the theater, drop a bomb to actually
Speaker 1: create the fire. Then they want to fool you into
Speaker 1: believing that they are the firefighters. Make it make sense
Speaker 1: because it does not, but people fall for it. I'll
Speaker 1: say this in closing today. There is also a video
Speaker 1: circulating of Donald Trump on Long Island, Suffolk County, Long Island,
Speaker 1: where where I'm from. It's packed because an area that
Speaker 1: I grew up in that was largely Democratic, middle working
Speaker 1: and middle class, and some upper class people have just
Speaker 1: abandoned the Democratic Party in lieu of wanting whiteness. It's
Speaker 1: not the place that I grew up in, but I
Speaker 1: saw the arena full, and I'm like, this is what
Speaker 1: they want. White people pumping their fists in the air right,
Speaker 1: thinking that everyone is the enemy, that their way of
Speaker 1: life would be preserved if only those people didn't exhipt it,
Speaker 1: if only those people weren't there. If we can just
Speaker 1: get rid of the gates, send the women back to
Speaker 1: the kitchen, get rid of the blacks or put them
Speaker 1: in their place, then all would be well. Rather than
Speaker 1: creating industry right that people are able to live on,
Speaker 1: you just give them somebody to point the finger at
Speaker 1: so that they don't have to play a part in
Speaker 1: being responsible for how their lives turned out. I love
Speaker 1: Long Island, but when I saw those images, I was disgusted.
Speaker 1: But when I go to visit my hometown, right there
Speaker 1: is a mix of Trump flex in places that had
Speaker 1: been represented by Democrats my whole life. So you know,
Speaker 1: we are up against a lot in these forty six days,
Speaker 1: and I believe that things, and I've said this before,
Speaker 1: will get bloodier before they get better. But we have
Speaker 1: got to keep doing the work. We have got to
Speaker 1: keep organizing, we've got to keep donating, We've got to
Speaker 1: keep talking to each other and making the case, even
Speaker 1: if it's hard, because there is just way too much
Speaker 1: at stake for us to think that this is a
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. Because it's either us or them come November,
Speaker 1: and I want it to be us because I don't
Speaker 1: want to live inside of their dystopian America. That is
Speaker 1: it for me today. Dear friends on woke af as
Speaker 1: always power to the people and to all the people power.
Speaker 1: Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
