Speaker 1: Good morning, Keeps, and welcome to Locate f Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording this lovely Friday from
Speaker 1: the home Bunker. Folks, What a week it has been? Right, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when I get to the end of
Speaker 1: the week and you all know this, I you know,
Speaker 1: begin to really think about.
Speaker 2: How did we get here?
Speaker 1: You know, Like I get to the Friday sometimes and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what the fuck just happened?
Speaker 2: It's like you're living inside of a tornado?
Speaker 1: Right, So you know, on this fucking Friday, it's like,
Speaker 1: what am I saying fuck it to? I mean, what
Speaker 1: am I not saying fuck it too? Would be the
Speaker 1: better question? Right, So let us begin. First of all,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Mitch McConnell. To talk about
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. The last time that Mitch McConnell was in
Speaker 1: front of a podium, and this time it was in
Speaker 1: the Capitol Building and froze. Many pundits were like, let's
Speaker 1: not touch this. We're not going to have a conversation
Speaker 1: about this. Let's show that we are better than the right.
Speaker 1: And like, I don't need to show the right that
Speaker 1: I'm better. I fucking know that right as well as
Speaker 1: you you know that as well. Here's the thing about
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's continued deterioration and literal brain freezes neurological events
Speaker 1: that he continues to have following I guess I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what is causing this. If he had a stroke,
Speaker 1: he had a fall, like whatever it is. But here's
Speaker 1: the reality, these fucking octanagerians who are unwell right Like
Speaker 1: it is one thing to say I because I have
Speaker 1: grappled with this, Am I just an agist? And I'm saying, oh,
Speaker 1: you're old and get out of the way. No, because
Speaker 1: again I will say, Bernie Sanders is eighty something years old, right,
Speaker 1: he is clearly sharp, continues to.
Speaker 2: Do his job. Joe Biden, right is old.
Speaker 1: The reason why Joe Biden has pauses is because he
Speaker 1: has a stuttering impediment that he's at his entire life,
Speaker 1: not because his brain literally freezes and his face just
Speaker 1: you know, the connection isn't happening. And that's what the
Speaker 1: fuck happened with Mitch McConnell. It's the same way that
Speaker 1: I feel about Diane Feinstein. I'm like, retire, Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like Mitch mcconnald's vicious, cruel, depraved
Speaker 1: rain over America has come to a fucking close, right,
Speaker 1: like you can rest well in hell knowing that you
Speaker 1: destroyed the judicial system, that you championed a fucking rapist
Speaker 1: and a criminal as president of the United States, that
Speaker 1: you stuck it to the blacks, like you know, go
Speaker 1: rest well, and you know as you make your descent
Speaker 1: to where you actually belong.
Speaker 2: And you know, I have a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: Who we are having these conversations about the fact that
Speaker 1: I am really trying to, you know, get into meditative
Speaker 1: and just more open and full headspace where I let
Speaker 1: go of hate and I let go of rage and
Speaker 1: I sent her right, sent her love in my life
Speaker 1: in all aspects, and that includes the people that I
Speaker 1: cannot stand. And what I realized I said to him,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I don't know if I'm going
Speaker 1: to make it to that level of ascension, because when
Speaker 1: I see things like this happen, like the freezing of
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, I don't him.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't and that you know, and I know I.
Speaker 1: Got a lot more meditation, a lot more prayer, and
Speaker 1: a lot more unpacking to do. I don't wish him
Speaker 1: ill let me say that, but I don't wish him well.
Speaker 1: I wish Mitch McConnell to have as good of a
Speaker 1: day as he wishes for black people in this country,
Speaker 1: right Like, that's so I'm going to meet you with
Speaker 1: the energy that you have put the fuck out.
Speaker 2: How about that? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So as I continue to do my work on myself,
Speaker 1: I realize that I still have the limited mindset because
Speaker 1: when I look at Mitch McConnell falling on a tough
Speaker 1: medical times with physical ailments, I genuinely do not give
Speaker 1: a fuck because all I think about is the incredible damage,
Speaker 1: the incredible damage that this racist white man has done.
Speaker 1: I think about the withholding of the seat for the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court right because oh well, in my mind, this
Speaker 1: black man is illegitimate, so he doesn't get the full
Speaker 1: rights and benefits and responsibilities of an actual president that
Speaker 1: was overwhelmingly chosen by the people of this country. I
Speaker 1: alone get to decide who is valid and who isn't.
Speaker 1: So when you think about the legacy of Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 1: do I have these overwhelming emotions of I wish him well.
Speaker 2: I do fucking not. And that's how I know.
Speaker 1: Dear friends, that I am not that at that level
Speaker 1: of ascension yet, right Like, That's how I know that
Speaker 1: I still have work to do, because I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't wish him well.
Speaker 1: Moving on to other things that occurred this week, Harrison Floyd,
Speaker 1: the head of Blacks for Trump, finds himself on the
Speaker 1: find out side of the fuck around because his ass
Speaker 1: is still sitting inside of Faulty County jail.
Speaker 2: And why is that? Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, one, when the FBI agents came to come and
Speaker 1: get him, he decided to meet them with force because
Speaker 1: I think that this motherfucker, while caping for white supremacy,
Speaker 1: forgot that he's black.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I think that they all.
Speaker 1: Do right, the Blacks for Trump and these Browns for
Speaker 1: Trump with led by the vec RAMASA mean. I think
Speaker 1: that these motherfuckers forget right that your complex shit right
Speaker 1: is not going to get you into the good old
Speaker 1: boys club. You are useful to them in this moment,
Speaker 1: and then when you are not, you are fucking not right. So,
Speaker 1: as my friend Wajah Hot says on our other podcast,
Speaker 1: Democracy Ish, which by the way, if you don't check
Speaker 1: out every week is alive on Thursdays, and you should
Speaker 1: absolutely subscribe because the conversations that Waj and I have
Speaker 1: are amazing and deep. But let me say this. Waja
Speaker 1: will say, you know, here's the thing that always gets
Speaker 1: me into trouble is that I remind my brown brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters, right, they're never going to love you, right
Speaker 1: that no matter how much you puppet Harrison, no matter
Speaker 1: how much you cap for white supremacy and make those
Speaker 1: little stupid blacks for trunk t shirts, they are never
Speaker 1: going to accept you. They will accept you as much
Speaker 1: as they need a fucking mascot, right, so that they
Speaker 1: can then go back behind closed doors and be like,
Speaker 1: ain't that and word dumb? Right because he thinks that
Speaker 1: he's one of us, Right, You're only as much of
Speaker 1: one of them again as you were useful.
Speaker 2: You were still a fucking product, right, remember that?
Speaker 1: And so now that this motherfucker is sitting in prison,
Speaker 1: right in the jail because he can't afford a lawyer,
Speaker 1: talking to the that he can't afford a lawyer. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure you all have seen the clips. You know,
Speaker 1: all those lawyers they cost so much money. Maybe you
Speaker 1: should have thought about that, right, you should have thought
Speaker 1: about that, because what did you think that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was going to, what, offer you up some of his money?
Speaker 1: He don't even pay the people that actually do work
Speaker 1: for him. You thought he was gonna do something for you,
Speaker 1: dum dumb. So let me tell you something. That video
Speaker 1: of Floyd just tickled my heart. I will be honest,
Speaker 1: and this is again why I'm not going to ascend
Speaker 1: to the place that I need to in my practice,
Speaker 1: right because things like that image and that video. I
Speaker 1: don't feel bad for that man, right, I feel like
Speaker 1: you're getting exactly what you deserve.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You want to step with the white good old boys,
Speaker 1: but you don't got their money and you don't have
Speaker 1: their lack of melanin. Okay, So the justice system sees
Speaker 1: you the way that they see every black body. Okay,
Speaker 1: So good for you on the find out part of
Speaker 1: the fuck around. What else happened this week? You had
Speaker 1: the hurricane that landed in Florida, Adahlia, I think is
Speaker 1: how you pronounce it, and you know, just to show
Speaker 1: you again that within a little over twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: less than two but less than forty eight that storm
Speaker 1: went from a tropical storm to a Category three hurricane
Speaker 1: when it hit Landfall. And you know, I just look
Speaker 1: around at the folks in Florida who love them some
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis, love them some Donald Trump, and you know,
Speaker 1: love them some ignorance. And this is what is happening, right,
Speaker 1: And folks will say, like, well, there are people that
Speaker 1: other people in Florida. Of course there are, right, But
Speaker 1: the majority who were eligible to vote, aside from voter
Speaker 1: suppression and all of that, you know, went hands down
Speaker 1: for Ron de Santis, who doesn't believe in climate change.
Speaker 1: And what I want folks to understand is that it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what are is going to be at the
Speaker 1: top of the Republican's ticket in twenty twenty four. If
Speaker 1: it's Donald Trump, Ronda Santis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, the
Speaker 1: vek Ramaswami, doesn't matter. Any Republican is going to spell
Speaker 1: environmental disaster, not only for this country but for the world.
Speaker 1: We are living on borrow time. We are in the
Speaker 1: climate crisis. It's not impending. It is happening on a
Speaker 1: regular basis, and coming off of this summer, how anyone
Speaker 1: with a fucking working brain in their head could think
Speaker 1: about anything other than what do we need to do
Speaker 1: now in order to stop some of the most expensive
Speaker 1: and dangerous weather patterns from consistently happening. I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, but I do know that, you know, as
Speaker 1: the Empire of America falls and crumbles, we're going to
Speaker 1: be the ones that are going to be underneath the rubble.
Speaker 1: And when archaeologists and what have you come, you know,
Speaker 1: centuries from now, and they say, you know, all of
Speaker 1: the signs were clear, and they had all the technology
Speaker 1: and all the access, like, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 2: I hope somebody listens.
Speaker 1: To wokef because then you'll know exactly what happened. So,
Speaker 1: you know, we continue to see each and every single week,
Speaker 1: and hurricane season doesn't usually end until November, but who
Speaker 1: the fuck knows, because seasons don't make sense anymore, right.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this, as you know, the calendar
Speaker 1: changes to September, and I'm like, you know, my birthday
Speaker 1: is in November, which is why I love the fall
Speaker 1: so much, because I just I love the change of seasons.
Speaker 2: I love the Christmas in the air, I love all
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: But the last several years I've done outdoor events for
Speaker 1: my birthday because it's been nearly seventy degrees in November, right,
Speaker 1: not normal at all, No, it's not. So. What we know, folks,
Speaker 1: is that these hurricane seasons, fire seasons, tornado seasons, they're
Speaker 1: no longer predictable in terms of their length and in
Speaker 1: terms of their strength. And anyone who is entering the
Speaker 1: White House needs to understand that this is actually the
Speaker 1: war that is happening, that is costing lives and costing
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, and maybe maybe we should give it
Speaker 1: as much attention as you would, you know, the wars
Speaker 1: that kill people for you know, oil and stuff. It's
Speaker 1: so frustrating, it really is. I just think, you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has waived his arraignment appearance in Georgia for
Speaker 1: September six, and we're still waiting on the at least
Speaker 1: at the time of this recording, the verdict around Mark
Speaker 1: Meadows and his removal from state court to federal court.
Speaker 1: And here's what I'll say about that. Mark Meadows is
Speaker 1: one of the most dangerous human beings. He is one
Speaker 1: of the most dangerous human beings. He is one of
Speaker 1: the most insidious, sinister human beings. Mark meadows knew exactly
Speaker 1: what he was doing on January sixth. He was burning
Speaker 1: papers in his office. Why was that asked in his
Speaker 1: five hour testimony as to why he believes that he
Speaker 1: was working in official capacity? Can we bring in other
Speaker 1: cheats of staff and ask them if they've ever burned
Speaker 1: papers in their office, if they've ever preemptively asked for
Speaker 1: a pardon? Why would you need to do that if
Speaker 1: you weren't doing anything illegal? And you can make up
Speaker 1: an excuse about oh, the Democrats weaponizing.
Speaker 2: No. No, because if there's no.
Speaker 1: If you're not breaking the law and the law wasn't
Speaker 1: just written by Democrats, If you're not breaking the law,
Speaker 1: or think that you're breaking the law, why the fuck
Speaker 1: would you ask preemptively for a pardon? So Mark meadows
Speaker 1: knew exactly what the fuck he was doing, and he
Speaker 1: wasn't working in anybody's official capacity, and you know, for somebody,
Speaker 1: if you were interested and invested in you know, following along.
Speaker 1: Check out Shriylyn Eiffel's Twitter. Chriylyn Eifel, the former head
Speaker 1: of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, lays it out very
Speaker 1: clearly and kind of reminds us of some of the
Speaker 1: receipts around Mark Meadows and the show that he put
Speaker 1: on as chief of staff, and so to feign right like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is just persecution and I was just doing my
Speaker 1: job is bullshit, right. There was no part of his
Speaker 1: job that would have him call up the Secretary of
Speaker 1: State and organize a call to say, can you find
Speaker 1: me eleven seven hundred and forty some odd votes?
Speaker 2: Though, so miss me with the bullshit.
Speaker 1: But we will see, because what we know is that
Speaker 1: bullshit reigns supreme and rich white powerful men can do
Speaker 1: pretty much anything that they want, right, it is very
Speaker 1: rare that they get caught up. So you know, as
Speaker 1: we watch all of these cases unfold and whether or
Speaker 1: not Fannie Willis is going to be removed from her
Speaker 1: position in October when the law that Brian Kent signed
Speaker 1: in that allows him to remove duly elected prossecutters and
Speaker 1: put in whomever he wants to do his bidding and
Speaker 1: that of the Republican Party. Folks, I just have to say,
Speaker 1: as you listen to Donald Trump and all of his
Speaker 1: sick offens basically say that the rule of law does
Speaker 1: not mean and include them that when Donald Trump becomes
Speaker 1: president again that he's gonna throw his political enemies in jail.
Speaker 2: This is not fucking locker room talk.
Speaker 1: This is not boistering, this is not you know, bravado.
Speaker 1: He's telling you what the fuck he plans to do
Speaker 1: as the dictator of America, and all of the Republicans
Speaker 1: are telling you what they will do in order to
Speaker 1: support and cover him. So let me tell you that
Speaker 1: it is really hard to return to a democracy once
Speaker 1: it is lost. Now is the time that folks wake
Speaker 1: the fuck up, get out into the streets, boycott, do
Speaker 1: the work that needs to be done in order to
Speaker 1: hold on to it. Because once it's gone, and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and any Republican has control over the military, has
Speaker 1: control and access over law enforcement, has the backs, and
Speaker 1: is able to deregulate and defund every single social safety
Speaker 1: net and agency right and there are no checks and balances.
Speaker 1: That's when it will be too fucking late. And they
Speaker 1: are telling you each and every day, the motherfucking quiet
Speaker 1: part out loud. So I don't know how many times
Speaker 1: it needs to be stated and how many times we
Speaker 1: need to listen to what these people are saying. But
Speaker 1: the only way that we remain safe in this country,
Speaker 1: is to take action, right, and that means sharing these
Speaker 1: videos that I'm doing high low, my patrons, sharing these videos,
Speaker 1: sharing these shows with your friends, your colleagues, right, saying
Speaker 1: pass it on. It is getting involved in your local elections, right.
Speaker 1: Becoming an actual part of your community, registering people to vote,
Speaker 1: running for office yourself, checking in to see what is
Speaker 1: happening with your school boards and your city councils, write
Speaker 1: what's going on with your libraries, and taking the action
Speaker 1: that is needed, and getting getting together again, getting together
Speaker 1: a posse of people making a social event. Right. You know,
Speaker 1: every Friday, we're going to gather together and we're gonna
Speaker 1: go check in with our local librarians, what's going on,
Speaker 1: what's popping?
Speaker 2: How can I get involved with the board? Right?
Speaker 1: What can I do to make sure that information is
Speaker 1: not being blocked from people?
Speaker 2: How can I.
Speaker 1: Go and volunteer with the seniors at the high school
Speaker 1: to make sure that those that are turning eighteen right
Speaker 1: over the summer or this year are registered to vote?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: There are so many ways, folks, for us to get invested,
Speaker 1: and particularly when we are seeing those at the grass tops,
Speaker 1: try and poison the ground.
Speaker 2: We need to be on the ground.
Speaker 1: Gathering people, lifting up information, sharing the truth, flexing and
Speaker 1: doing what we can gathering with other like minded people.
Speaker 1: That's what is required in this moment. We cannot wait
Speaker 1: until all is lost and then try and get it
Speaker 1: back because trust and believe, look at history, it ain't
Speaker 1: that fucking easy. That is it for me today, dear friends,
Speaker 1: on this fucket Friday, heading into a beautiful, beautiful weekend
Speaker 1: here in New York, I wish you all a wonderful, long, RESTful,
