Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker. Y'all,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Last week, your girl was
Speaker 1: not doing well. Okay, if you were listening to WOKF
Speaker 1: watching the videos, you know that I spent pretty much
Speaker 1: half of last week on my couch in tears about
Speaker 1: the state of our country, the state of the world,
Speaker 1: the state of this election. And I was in a
Speaker 1: place of dark despair and hopelessness and just believing that
Speaker 1: we're done. And we're done as a country, We're done
Speaker 1: as a democracy, my work as a independent voice or
Speaker 1: social justice equity, it's done. And then Sunday and folks,
Speaker 1: it is only Wednesday, and just a handful of days
Speaker 1: since Joe Biden announced that he was stepping aside. Fully
Speaker 1: endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in one day, one full
Speaker 1: day of her campaign. On Monday, she sealed the deal,
Speaker 1: got all of the delegates that she needed, raised over
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars sixty percent from small dollar donors
Speaker 1: first time donors. In the twenty twenty four cycle, she
Speaker 1: has gotten endorsements from everyone from Nancy Pelosi to Governor Whitmer,
Speaker 1: to Newsom, to Shapiro, to the Congressional Black Caucus, the
Speaker 1: Progressive Caucus HRC, GLAD. The list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: Joe take Edie, the founder of We Win with Black Women,
Speaker 1: started a movement with forty four thousand black women joining
Speaker 1: a zoom call to raise over a million dollars in
Speaker 1: but a handful of hours from the announcement. The following day,
Speaker 1: Roland Martin, Bacari, Sellers, Michael Blake, and others follow suit
Speaker 1: with a Black Men For Kamala Harris call with over
Speaker 1: fifty thousand men and raising over a million dollars. Now
Speaker 1: you have organizers like Shannon Watts of Mom's Demand and
Speaker 1: every Town organizing white women on a call. You have
Speaker 1: AAPI folks organizing a call. You have queer folks organizing
Speaker 1: a call. Why Because black women lead the way, which
Speaker 1: is what I have been saying since the beginning, Folks,
Speaker 1: A change has come. I cannot express to you how
Speaker 1: important hope is. And it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: you know, but until you find yourself truly in the
Speaker 1: depths of despair, hanging on for dear life, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the wind shifts and you go
Speaker 1: from fighting against the tide to having the wind at
Speaker 1: your back. Folks, it is a new day. It is
Speaker 1: a new day. It is a new day, and I,
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time, believe we
Speaker 1: can win because I see on social media. I am
Speaker 1: hearing from organizers from organizations, and folks are rolling up
Speaker 1: their sleeves. Fifty thousand people, over fifty thousand people have
Speaker 1: signed up on the Vice President's website to volunteer to
Speaker 1: start knocking on doors. Folks. The energy is palpable. And
Speaker 1: when people are saying, including myself, that this is not
Speaker 1: even reminiscent of two thousand and eight, because, mind you,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, it was like a slow tide. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It was like a slow rolling tide,
Speaker 1: like it was growing momentum with each month, with each day.
Speaker 1: It was moving. It was moving, it was moving. This
Speaker 1: what we are experiencing right now is like a fucking tsunami.
Speaker 1: It is happening so fast, it is happening so vigorous.
Speaker 1: Like people have been desperate for hope, and now I
Speaker 1: see that it isn't enough to just have a candidate
Speaker 1: who has had extraordinary accomplishments. The Biden administration has done
Speaker 1: a lot. They were handed a pile of shit from
Speaker 1: the prior, god forsaken administration, and they made the absolute
Speaker 1: most of it. With a hostile House of Representatives, a
Speaker 1: weaponized Supreme Court. They've plowed forward, resurrected a spiraling economy,
Speaker 1: tried to provide debt relief to hard strapped students, lower
Speaker 1: drug costs, add more jobs as we were hemorrhaging them
Speaker 1: during COVID, an infrastructure bill that was bipartisan. That's just
Speaker 1: a few things off the top of my head that
Speaker 1: the administration has done. But the hopefulness was missing from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's campaign. The energy was missing because Joe Biden
Speaker 1: himself was not exuding that and the media was wholeheartedly
Speaker 1: against him. So for him to step aside and to
Speaker 1: pass the baton to his fifty nine year old vice
Speaker 1: president and say go get them. And if you listened yesterday,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was on a call that Kamala was doing
Speaker 1: and she thought that he had left the call, and
Speaker 1: he said, no, I'm watching you, kid, and I love you.
Speaker 1: The stark contrast between the dystopia that Republicans want to
Speaker 1: offer Americans to the light and the freedom that Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris wants to offer could not be more apparent. She
Speaker 1: walked out in Milwaukee yesterday to Freedom by Beyonce. Freedom, Freedom,
Speaker 1: I can't lose. It is the energy, the spirit, the
Speaker 1: hopefulness that we needed and to have been over my God,
Speaker 1: these last few years being on air to try and
Speaker 1: convince people how can consequential this election? Is why it
Speaker 1: is important to support Joe Biden. How hard it has
Speaker 1: been to want to support him given everything that is
Speaker 1: happening in Gaza, a genocide. Right, I was losing faith.
Speaker 1: I had lost faith and I can't do my work
Speaker 1: without it. I've been telling you all for years now
Speaker 1: that I carry around what my mustard seed of hope,
Speaker 1: and I said yesterday it has blossomed because I see
Speaker 1: hope on the horizon. I believe that Americans are waking up.
Speaker 1: I believe that people are gathering, that they are breathing,
Speaker 1: that they are rolling up their sleeves, that they are
Speaker 1: digging in and in whatever community that they find themselves
Speaker 1: a part of. Are organizing. Over a million people in
Speaker 1: a day donated to Kamala Harris for President in a day.
Speaker 1: Republicans right now are losing their fucking minds, coming up
Speaker 1: with whatever childish bullshit to say, Oh, they don't care
Speaker 1: about democracy because this isn't a democratic process. Miss me
Speaker 1: with your fucking insurrection. January sixth, bullshit. Okay, ain't nobody
Speaker 1: over here storming anybody's capital, right We're getting on zoom
Speaker 1: calls and raising money. You know what civilized people do
Speaker 1: inside of a democracy. They're coming out with their oh
Speaker 1: DEI candidate, and you know, cat lady, and you're listening
Speaker 1: to jd Vance talk to Tucker Carlson, and all I
Speaker 1: can look at is how pathetic and angry and miserable
Speaker 1: these men are. Because there is nothing that is more
Speaker 1: terrifying to white supremacy and patriarchy than a strong, powerful
Speaker 1: black woman and woman of color. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: The poetic justice that I am looking for, that it
Speaker 1: be black women Georgia New York and now Vice President
Speaker 1: Harris to take this motherfucker down to the studs. Folks.
Speaker 1: Days ago, friends had asked me, are you going to
Speaker 1: go to convention? Are you going to go to convention?
Speaker 1: And I was like, for what why? I'm not excited
Speaker 1: to go to convention. Now I'm trying to find my
Speaker 1: way there, trying to, like everybody else, wanting to be
Speaker 1: a part of witnessing history, wanting to be in the
Speaker 1: room where it's going to happen. There is his story unfolding,
Speaker 1: there is righteousness that is on its way. And I
Speaker 1: have found myself getting choked up, not from the place
Speaker 1: of fear and despair where I was but a handful
Speaker 1: of days ago, but in the hopefulness and in the
Speaker 1: faith that I have in the American people, in this
Speaker 1: imperfect democratic project to get this done. I keep thinking, oh, my,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump could lose and bad. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Because I don't want Donald Trump to just lose.
Speaker 1: I don't want this race to be close. I want
Speaker 1: her to win in a fucking landslide. I want it
Speaker 1: to be unequivocal. I want us to know on election night,
Speaker 1: which hasn't happened, and I don't know how long I
Speaker 1: want us to go to bed on November fifth, drunk
Speaker 1: on joy, knowing that we did every goddamn thing that
Speaker 1: we could to save this democracy and it worked. And
Speaker 1: then the future is about making sure that Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five doesn't turn into Project twenty twenty eight, doesn't
Speaker 1: turn into Project twenty thirty two, doesn't turn into anything
Speaker 1: but ash. I want these people beaten so bad they
Speaker 1: don't show their face in public. I want them beaten
Speaker 1: so bad. And I want all of these insurrectionist members
Speaker 1: that are still walking the halls and are still passing policy,
Speaker 1: I want them to lose. I want America to send
Speaker 1: a message that you're hateful, misogynistic, anti woman, anti trans,
Speaker 1: anti black, anti people of color, anti immigrant, anti migrant,
Speaker 1: anti anti anti anti, ain't welcome here and we are
Speaker 1: not going to tolerate it. I want us to be victorious,
Speaker 1: like the people of France and the people of the
Speaker 1: UK that woke up and they said not today, not today.
Speaker 1: I don't want these people to be able ever again
Speaker 1: to gather the type of steam and momentum that they
Speaker 1: have been able to do over the last eight years.
Speaker 1: I want to cut them off at the fucking knees.
Speaker 1: I want to pull it up from the root. Their
Speaker 1: days are numbered because people across this country do not
Speaker 1: want the America that they are trying to sell. We
Speaker 1: don't want the lie, we don't want the bullshit, we
Speaker 1: don't want your fucking Felon. You can go ahead and
Speaker 1: go worship him him in a federal prison, because that
Speaker 1: is where I want Donald Trump to find himself after
Speaker 1: he's been beaten. I want the cases renewed. I want
Speaker 1: fresh eyes and fresh judges. We are not going to
Speaker 1: make the same mistake that Merrit Garland made in this administration.
Speaker 1: There won't be a Merit Garland in this Harris administration.
Speaker 1: I want fighters. I want people that know about repair,
Speaker 1: because repair doesn't come from ignoring things. Repair doesn't come
Speaker 1: from sweeping shit under the rug. Repair comes with accountability.
Speaker 1: And for these motherfuckers, accountability should look like prison should
Speaker 1: look like you're inability to hold office. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. I am overwhelmed and overcome with energy. Like
Speaker 1: I'm saying, people can lead from a place of fear,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the same vibe, energy spirit as
Speaker 1: leading people from a place of hope. There's a post
Speaker 1: I put on my page yesterday where my sister actually
Speaker 1: had sent me a image, and it's the Obama Yes
Speaker 1: we Can image, except it shows the four pictures. Under
Speaker 1: Obama's picture, it says hope under Trump's picture, it says
Speaker 1: hate under Biden's picture, it says heal, and under Harris's picture,
Speaker 1: it says grow, and that couldn't be more perfect. Obama
Speaker 1: made us hope, He made us believe that, yes we can.
Speaker 1: I remember the images coming out of his rallies that
Speaker 1: just were growing, growing in size. Do you all remember
Speaker 1: when he went to Europe. I think he might have
Speaker 1: been in Germany and it was like nothing I'd ever
Speaker 1: seen before. The amount of people, it was insane. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to see. Vice President Harris is getting
Speaker 1: ready to hit the road, go face to face, in
Speaker 1: toe to toe with everyday Americans to plead her case
Speaker 1: as to why we should get behind the prosecutor rather
Speaker 1: than the felon. And there are so many people that
Speaker 1: want to talk about her record as a prosecutor. Folks,
Speaker 1: her job was to put people in jail, and I
Speaker 1: want to tell you that she put less people in
Speaker 1: jail than is being rumored. She also worked on recidivism
Speaker 1: and creating programs that would actually keep people from coming
Speaker 1: back into the system. No one is perfect, but we're
Speaker 1: not looking for right now because what we are battling
Speaker 1: is evil like we have never seen. Well, we have
Speaker 1: seen it, but not in modern times. It's so funny
Speaker 1: right now to you know, there are jd Vance gave
Speaker 1: his first speech. I mean it was giving Jeb Bush
Speaker 1: please clap. You have seen other speeches be given. I
Speaker 1: think that there was one. Let me see if I
Speaker 1: can pull it up by some state representative who then
Speaker 1: had to issue an apology because you know, he was
Speaker 1: doing a little thing like calling for a civil war
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump doesn't win. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: can find it, but Hillary Clinton has tweeted. She tweeted
Speaker 1: the interview between jd Vance. I think this is from
Speaker 1: a while ago jd Vance and Tucker Carlson where he's
Speaker 1: talking about you know, unmarried, childless women, and it's just like,
Speaker 1: give me a break, right, like, honestly, give me a break.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if I can find the video
Speaker 1: because it was Joe Biden who retweeted it, this terrible
Speaker 1: video and said like this is actually not who we are.
Speaker 1: Ah here it is. This terrible man in Middletown, Ohio
Speaker 1: gets on the stage at a Trump rally and he's
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that I think his name is
Speaker 1: Lang or something like that, talking about the fact that
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a civil war. And if you don't,
Speaker 1: and you can go and you can see it at
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, not at Potus. You can see it at
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's so disgusting. And he had to come
Speaker 1: out and apologize and say, oh, the words that I said,
Speaker 1: they're not aligned with my truth. And after the assassination attempt,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the words that you said are not
Speaker 1: aligned with your truth. Motherfucker. You said it. You weren't
Speaker 1: force faid it. Nobody told you to go out there
Speaker 1: and start raw, raw, rawing about violence. That if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump loses, we're going to take the country back by
Speaker 1: civil war. Is that right? You all tried that once.
Speaker 1: It didn't work. So I want us to sit in
Speaker 1: this hopefulness. I want it to grow. The only way
Speaker 1: that it stops is if we stop it. So find
Speaker 1: yourself in your community, a place to phone bank, a
Speaker 1: place to text bank, a place to knock on doors, donate,
Speaker 1: hold roundtable discussions. Particularly, like I said yesterday, white women
Speaker 1: Shannon Watts. By the time you guys listen to this,
Speaker 1: she may have already done her win with white women
Speaker 1: right because she is trying to do her part as
Speaker 1: a white woman to organize other white women to do
Speaker 1: the opposite of what happened in twenty twenty and twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Everyone has a role, everyone has a responsibility. Find out
Speaker 1: what yours is, double and triple down on it. We
Speaker 1: are going to win this thing, and we are going
Speaker 1: to win it so fucking well, and we're going to
Speaker 1: put this country back together again and better than it was.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, Dear friends on Woke
Speaker 1: af AS, always, power to the people and to all
Speaker 1: the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
