Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ook up daily with me,
Speaker 1: your girl. Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks,
Speaker 1: I open up today with I'm certain news that you
Speaker 1: saw from Joe Biden, and I will read you a
Speaker 1: part of the letter that went out on July eighth, Monday,
Speaker 1: July eighth to Democrats. Fellow Democrats, now that you've returned
Speaker 1: from July fourth recess, I want you to know that
Speaker 1: despite all of the speculation in the press and elsewhere,
Speaker 1: I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to
Speaker 1: running this race to the end and beating Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I've had extensive conversations with the leadership of the party,
Speaker 1: elected officials, rank and file members, and most importantly Democratic
Speaker 1: voters who these past ten days or so, I have
Speaker 1: heard the concerns that people have, their good faith, fears
Speaker 1: and worries about what is at stake in this election.
Speaker 1: I am not blind to them. Believe me, I know
Speaker 1: better than anyone the responsibility and burden the nominee of
Speaker 1: our party carries. I carried it in twenty twenty when
Speaker 1: the fate of our nation was at stake. I also
Speaker 1: know these concerns come from a place of real respect
Speaker 1: for my lifetime of public service and my record as president,
Speaker 1: and I have been moved by the expressions of affection
Speaker 1: for me so many who have known me well and
Speaker 1: supported me over the course of my public life. I've
Speaker 1: been grateful for the rock solid, steadfast support from so
Speaker 1: many elected Democrats in Congress and across the country, and
Speaker 1: take great strength from the resolve and determination I've seen
Speaker 1: from so many voters and grassroots supporters in the hardest
Speaker 1: of weeks. I can respond to all of this by
Speaker 1: saying clearly and unequivocally, I wouldn't be running again if
Speaker 1: I did not absolutely believe I was the best person
Speaker 1: to beat Donald Trump in twenty twenty four. We had
Speaker 1: a democratic nominating process, and the voters have spoken clearly
Speaker 1: and decisively. I received over fourteen million votes, eighty seven
Speaker 1: percent of the votes cast across the entire nominating process.
Speaker 1: I have nearly thirty nine hundred delegates, making me the
Speaker 1: presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin. That
Speaker 1: is it, folks, that is it. I want the conversations
Speaker 1: about Biden to fucking end. I said it over the
Speaker 1: weekend on MSNBC to Katie Fang. Democrats continually eat their own,
Speaker 1: Democrats continually provide the right with more talking points. We
Speaker 1: are at a critical fucking juncture in this country. We
Speaker 1: are under attack by right wing fascists who want this
Speaker 1: country to be pulled back into the nineteenth fucking century.
Speaker 1: Every time that Biden is asked a question about his
Speaker 1: fucking age and capability, he needs to say thirty four
Speaker 1: thirty four felony counts. Is that what you want? In
Speaker 1: the White House Project twenty twenty five? Have you read it?
Speaker 1: Because I have? And here are some of the highlights.
Speaker 1: Is this the America that you want? Because, folks, you
Speaker 1: may not like the cards that have been dealt, but
Speaker 1: they are the cards, and you fucking play them, and
Speaker 1: you play them to the best of your goddamn ability
Speaker 1: until the game is done. We don't get another chance
Speaker 1: at this. And I disagree with the pundit class that
Speaker 1: is calling for Joe Biden to step aside, because those
Speaker 1: calls should have been made in twenty twenty one. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden should have come in as a transitional fucking leader
Speaker 1: to stabilize this country after COVID and after Trump and
Speaker 1: everybody else should have been primed and ready to go.
Speaker 1: But that's not what happened. We all knew how old
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was. He's eighty one, folks. When he finishes
Speaker 1: the presidency, he will be eighty six. So that's it.
Speaker 1: Do I have concerns, I have a ton of concerns.
Speaker 1: But do you know where my concerns are pointed at?
Speaker 1: Directed at? Focused on Project twenty twenty five. So let
Speaker 1: me read you some of the highlights there for folks
Speaker 1: that clearly clearly think that we have time to play
Speaker 1: fucking games over the next four months. Here are some
Speaker 1: of the highlights from Project twenty twenty five, by by
Speaker 1: the way, which has been scrubbed from the Heritage Foundation's
Speaker 1: page because most recently Donald Trump said, I don't know
Speaker 1: what Project twenty twenty five is. I don't even know
Speaker 1: who's over there at the Heritage Foundation. We're we're, we're, we're,
Speaker 1: we're we're. And so what did Kevin Roberts do, the
Speaker 1: head of the Heritage Foundation. Oh, we'll take it off
Speaker 1: the website. We'll scrub it Project twenty twenty five dot com.
Speaker 1: Though still there still showing us all the things that
Speaker 1: they want to do. So here are some of them.
Speaker 1: They want to end no fault divorce right, which gave
Speaker 1: women the ability to leave marriages that were abusive and
Speaker 1: not needing to get a judge's permission to do so
Speaker 1: and make up excuses or have somebody say no, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. You need to have more coming to
Speaker 1: the table than you're saying. I just don't want to
Speaker 1: be married to this person anymore, Okay. They want to
Speaker 1: end that. They want a complete ban on abortion without
Speaker 1: exceptions in every state. They want to ban contraceptives. They
Speaker 1: want additional tax breaks for corporations, and the one Percent
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five calls for higher taxes for the
Speaker 1: working class, elimination of unions and worker protections, raise the
Speaker 1: retirement age cut, social Security cut Medicare and the Affordable
Speaker 1: Care Act, raise prescription drug prices, eliminate the Department of Education,
Speaker 1: use public taxpayer money for private religious schools each Christian
Speaker 1: religious beliefs in of public schools, which we are already
Speaker 1: seeing right in Louisiana with the fucking Ten Commandments in
Speaker 1: every classroom. They want to end free and discounted school
Speaker 1: lunch programs. As a former teacher, I find that abhorrent.
Speaker 1: No child can learn when they are hungry. And also
Speaker 1: they've done this in some red states where they've refused
Speaker 1: to take federal funding to help low income families and children,
Speaker 1: because fuck them, kids, you only care about bunches of cells.
Speaker 1: They want to end civil rights and DEI protections in government,
Speaker 1: Ban African American and gender studies in all levels of education,
Speaker 1: Ban books and curriculum about slavery, ending climate protections, increase
Speaker 1: Arctic drilling. Deregulate big businesses in the oil industry so
Speaker 1: that they can continue to pollute, pollute, pollute, pollute, and
Speaker 1: where do you think that's going into our water, into
Speaker 1: our food, into our fucking bodies, with absolutely no accountability.
Speaker 1: They want to promote and expedite capital punishment. I remember
Speaker 1: some Republicans saying that we should bring back hangings write
Speaker 1: such a good time to be in America. They want
Speaker 1: to condemn single mothers while promoting only traditional families. Defund
Speaker 1: the FBI and Homeland Security, use the military to break
Speaker 1: up domestic protests, mass deportation of immigrants and incarceration in camps,
Speaker 1: which they did during the Trump administration, and birthright citizenship
Speaker 1: ban Muslims from entering the country. Eliminate federal agencies like
Speaker 1: the FDA, the EPA. Noah and Moore continue to pack
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and lower courts with right wing judges. Folks,
Speaker 1: that's just a glimpse. That's just the highlights. Do you
Speaker 1: want to live in nineteenth century America? Because that's what
Speaker 1: America looked like. That's where people were dying, right because
Speaker 1: they had no workers' protections. There were no exit signs,
Speaker 1: there were no exit doors, there was no proper ventilation.
Speaker 1: Factories would catch on fire. Hundreds of people would be
Speaker 1: trapped and dying. A time when schools didn't provide free
Speaker 1: and reduce lunch, a time when we didn't actually teach history,
Speaker 1: no books on slavery. But I thought it was so great.
Speaker 1: I thought enslave people loved torture and rape, because that's
Speaker 1: what they want you to believe. In fucking Florida and
Speaker 1: in Texas, banning books, banning critical thought, erasing every bit
Speaker 1: of progress. This is going to affect every member of
Speaker 1: our society. But we want to concentrate on Joe Biden's age.
Speaker 1: I will say this again, I don't give a fuck
Speaker 1: if Joe Biden is in hospice, I will vote for
Speaker 1: him over Donald Trump any goddamn day of the week,
Speaker 1: because a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for
Speaker 1: our democracy, It is a vote for our rights, It
Speaker 1: is a vote for our freedom to exist how we choose.
Speaker 1: I was telling my mother the other day, check on
Speaker 1: your passports, make sure that the date of expiration and
Speaker 1: shalla is not coming up soon, because these are things.
Speaker 1: If you remember, during COVID, Donald Trump denied New Yorkers
Speaker 1: the ability to get global entry. Think about the ways
Speaker 1: that you move through society freely, and understand that the
Speaker 1: only reason you move in that way is because of democracy,
Speaker 1: is because of policies that were put in place for
Speaker 1: you to do. So what we see is that all
Speaker 1: of those things can and will be removed, whether it
Speaker 1: is by the Supreme Court or by these fascist Nazis
Speaker 1: that want to take over the presidency and take over
Speaker 1: this country and turn it into a shell of itself, dirty, polluted, ignorant, poor, desperate, hopeless.
Speaker 1: That's what that list is. To make sure people have
Speaker 1: no opportunity, no access, so that white supremacists have a
Speaker 1: complete underclass. You know. For the weekend, white supremacists marched
Speaker 1: in Nashville. They march down main Street. They cover their faces.
Speaker 1: They all have the same outfits because they are emboldened.
Speaker 1: You will see that action take place on every main
Speaker 1: street in America if Donald Trump becomes president, and they
Speaker 1: won't hide their faces because there will be no fear
Speaker 1: of repercussions of losing their jobs. Those white supremacist militants
Speaker 1: are Donald Trump's private military. If officers in the military
Speaker 1: decide that they're not going to enforce harming citizens of
Speaker 1: this country, then Donald Trump will just get those that
Speaker 1: he told to stand back and stand by in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty to clock in for duty. They'll say, oh, those
Speaker 1: people will be thrown in jail. No, they won't, because
Speaker 1: most of them are probably cops and judges. We are
Speaker 1: in danger. Everything about our way of life is under attack.
Speaker 1: And what did Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage
Speaker 1: Foundation say on national television. This is the Second Revolution
Speaker 1: war and currently it's bloodless and it will remain that
Speaker 1: way if the Left allows it to be, meaning that
Speaker 1: if we lay down and clock in for their subjugation,
Speaker 1: then they won't kill us. That's what the fuck he said.
Speaker 1: They want blood, they want war because they want to
Speaker 1: be able to kill as many people of color, as
Speaker 1: many women as possible, and have cover for it. Say, oh,
Speaker 1: they were asking for it. We're talking about letting loose
Speaker 1: a bunch of Kyle rittenhouses. If Donald Trump is elected,
Speaker 1: people that will go around killing black people and people
Speaker 1: of color in this country for sport like they did
Speaker 1: in the nineteenth and in the twentieth century. Folks, this
Speaker 1: election is not a game. I have talked at nauseam
Speaker 1: on the ways in which I disagree with Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: the ways in which he was not my choice to
Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump. But you know what he fucking did.
Speaker 1: We beat Donald Trump. We the people beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: We beat back white nationalism, We beat back against misogyny, homophobia,
Speaker 1: and transphobia. We did that. Biden is but a man,
Speaker 1: but backed by the people, we can save our democracy
Speaker 1: for four more years. And in that time, my god,
Speaker 1: do we need to focus on fucking power and a
Speaker 1: long term strategy plan to push these fucking maniacal lunatics
Speaker 1: to the margins of our society. We can't do that
Speaker 1: if we're spending all of our time attacking the person
Speaker 1: that is lowering drug costs, eliminating student loan debt, building
Speaker 1: bridges and tunnels with this infrastructure bill, putting people back
Speaker 1: to work by adding hundreds of thousands of jobs. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has been at work for this country his entire life,
Speaker 1: and over the last four years. After inheriting the worst economy,
Speaker 1: he turned this shit around while also restoring faith and
Speaker 1: hopefulness back into this country that had been drained by
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and MAGA. So what do I think that
Speaker 1: we need to do right now? I think that we
Speaker 1: need to circle the fucking wagons. I think that we
Speaker 1: need to keep our eye on what is most important,
Speaker 1: which is preserving what is left of our democracy that
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has not yet taken away, which is
Speaker 1: our right to fucking vote and to organize. But that's
Speaker 1: up next, folks, that's up next. If you love somebody
Speaker 1: that is queer, if you love somebody that is in
Speaker 1: a union, if you love a child that is in
Speaker 1: a public school. Right now, if you are listening to
Speaker 1: this and your air conditioner broke down because you're in
Speaker 1: a place where it is above one hundred degrees, we're
Speaker 1: talking that in some parts of the country over the
Speaker 1: weekend were one hundred and twenty degrees. But they want
Speaker 1: to roll back climate protections. These people are not patriots.
Speaker 1: They don't give a fuck about this country. They don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck about Americans. They want to bring us back,
Speaker 1: and we have to be more committed than ever into
Speaker 1: pushing this country forward, come hell or high fucking water.
Speaker 1: I would rather fight with a president that I disagree
Speaker 1: with sometimes than fight from my life against tanks rolling
Speaker 1: down the street looking to throw people like myself in camps.
Speaker 1: They don't want to live side by side with us.
Speaker 1: That is exactly what Justice Alito was caught on tape saying,
Speaker 1: I wish that they would just pick a state and
Speaker 1: get the fuck out. I hear Alaska is nice. Go there.
Speaker 1: We have but a handful of months left to put
Speaker 1: this country back on track way from MAGA and towards democracy.
Speaker 1: The UK did it, the French did it. Next up,
Speaker 1: it is our fucking turn. That is it for me today,
Speaker 1: Dear friends, on wokef as always, Power to the people
Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay
Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
