Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wikate f Daily with
me your girl, Danielle Moody recording from the home Bunker, Folks,
I'm going to be very honest and vulnerable. I am
not doing well. I'm actually doing quite shitty at the moment.
I have not been sleeping, and I have been overcome

(00:37):
with anxiety and a lot of fear. And that takes
a lot for me to say, because, you know, I
go on this show and my social media platforms and
try and use my energy to wake people up, to

(00:58):
you know, pop off and provide both passion and facts
right that will hopefully engage people, empower people. Except I
no longer feel empowered, and it is becoming increasingly difficult
for me to stay engaged when I see very plainly

(01:19):
the devastation that is headed our way that apparently corporate
mainstream media could give a fuck about, that the democratic
establishment doesn't care about. And I realize that the reason
being is because those that are in power have the
least to lose. Right, what does it matter to them?

(01:41):
To the Nancy Pelosis and the Chuck Schumers of the
world if Donald Trump becomes president again? Right, they're in
the sunset of their lives, and they have millions of dollars.
So if he becomes president again for the last time, right,
they can pick up, they can move or you know, frankly,
like I said, you know, in the sunset of their lives,

(02:02):
they're not looking at the next you know, thirty forty
fifty sixty years of living under an authoritarian regime. When
I hear people like George Clooney, Adam Schiff and others
now come out and amplify this quote unquote whisper campaign

(02:22):
to remove Biden from office, I realize that again, no
one actually cares about the base of this party, which
are black women. No one actually gives a shit about
the people that consistently show up and show out for
this party and for this country that doesn't care about them,

(02:42):
that doesn't keep us safe. And so by the time
that you all listen to this, the announcement may in
fact have come that Joe Biden is stepping down, and
if the successor isn't Kamala Harris, who I'm not even
one hundred percent sure can win. And it has nothing

(03:03):
to do with me not thinking that Kamala is qualified.
I think that she absolutely is. I also think that
America is just as fucking misogynists as it is racist,
and as a black woman that lives inside of this country,
I know exactly what she's going to be up against.
And do you think that those white independent men are
white women that couldn't find it within themselves to vote

(03:26):
for fucking Hillary Clinton, are now all of a sudden
going to vote for a black woman, right? I don't
think so. And so you know, all of this media
fanfare and gaslighting that is happening by the Democratic establishment
is just utterly devastating and I'm really trying not to

(03:54):
lose it on air today. It's utterly devastating. And all
I keep thinking about, and all I've been focused on
is what do I need to do in the next
three and a half months to ensure my safety and
the safety of my family, because my representatives are not

(04:19):
going to do that, Nor will it matter once Donald Trump,
jd Vance and Project twenty twenty five get to sync
their teeth into this country. Everything that you think can't
happen because it's America is already underway. I just interviewed

(04:42):
somebody for one of my other shows, The New Abnormal,
who did an expose on jd Vance, you know, and
it's again an independent media outlet, a progressive media outlet,
so it's not going to get the same amount of
coverage if you know. In fact, it was in the
New York Times right over the Washington Post but did
an expose on jd Vance and not the kind of

(05:04):
bullshit fluff pieces that are going to come out in
these outlets, but said, you know. Jd Vance once called
for a database in his state, the state of Ohio,
to track women who left the state to go and
have abortions in pro choice states. He wanted regulators to

(05:31):
create a database for the purpose of releasing hip hoa
information to the police to prosecute those women. This is
the vice presidential nominee who wants to create a data.
But so I'm talking to this reporter and I said, well,

(05:54):
you would actually have to create a system before the
pregnant piece, like because how do you know why and
when a woman or a person with a uterus is
traveling why you know? Like, so you would actually have
to start tracking and create a database to track people's

(06:17):
menstrual cycles. So then it's like, okay, so when does
this start? So when it's your first period, does that. Now,
it is your parents or caregivers responsibility to enter that
information into the database and system and have your most

(06:38):
personal medical information be examined and looked at whatever type
of care you're going to get if you're going to
the obgyn because oh, I don't know you have cramp,
so you have fibroids? Right? Who's on birth control? Who's
not on birth control? Do you understand the kind of
surveillance state that these people want and that they will

(07:04):
have because there won't be anybody to stop them. There
is no like one, no country, no place that is
coming to save us. When Donald Trump starts deporting whomever
the fuck he wants, throwing people in camps while their
cases are being quote unquote reviewed, who's gonna stop him?

(07:30):
So Yeah, I'm waking up in the middle of the
night fucking terrified. I'm spending time in between recordings that
I do every day in tears and trying to reach
out to my family to convince them that we need
a plan and that plan needs to be executed like asap,

(07:54):
because if you're going to wait until inauguration day and
they start rolling out their first one hundred day plans,
let me tell you, folks, it's gonna be too fucking late.
Just like in the opening of The Handmaid's Tale where
they suspend the constitution, women are no longer allowed to

(08:15):
own property, no longer allowed to have credit cards. You say, oh, well,
that can't happen. Why tell me why it can't happen
because of what the law? You mean, the same people
that are sitting on the Supreme Court that just decided
that the presidency is akin to a king. You mean,

(08:36):
going before the same judges that just threw out Donald
Trump's documents case. Folks, there are no guard rails the
next time around, because the next time around is the
last time around. And now I'm sitting here talking to
you while Democrats are pushing out the only person that
has ever beat Donald Trump because he's too old. So

(09:00):
instead of all of the focus being on just how
dangerous the Republicans are and using this week that there
RNC to show the American people the contrast of the
bullshit that they're selling and what they actually stand for,
Democrats are soaking up all the oxygen so that they

(09:21):
can get rid of Donald Trump and then maybe pontificate
about who they want to put in I have never
seen such fuckery and bullshit in my entire life. This
is not an election like other elections. It's not, and

(09:41):
everyone feels it because there is like a knot that
is in our stomachs. That's not like, oh, well, the
system's held. The systems didn't fucking hold. This is what
the system's holding looks like to y'all. Looks like the
overturning of row of affirmative action. This is what the

(10:01):
systems holding look like. No, the systems did not hold.
The systems actually crashed and burned. The systems are actually
making sure that Donald Trump has a rolled out red
carpet for his deepest and darkest desires to come to pass.

(10:26):
Banning people from quote unquote shithole countries, putting women in,
people with uteruses in databases, banning books all over the country,
creating absolutely no safe zone, no safe space whatsoever, divesting
from quote unquote blue states, divesting federal funds the way

(10:51):
that he did during COVID when tens of thousands of
people are dying and Donald Trump wanted to play politics
and did, We're not surviving this, Like, I need for
people to like really truly understand that this next time

(11:11):
around is it, And that is what is having me
wake up, sit straight up in the middle of the night,
basically hyperventilating. That is telling all of my friends and
my loved ones it's timed for a plan. You need

(11:32):
to have a plan because if you wait too long,
that window to safety will close. Because for the chattering class,
largely white, largely wealthy, they'll be fine. They'll be fine.
It's the rest of us that are obviously different. The

(11:55):
black folks, the brown folks, the indigenous folks, the queer folk,
the folks with disabilities, those of us that can't hide,
can't hide who we are, where we come from, that
are just obviously do not fit the Maga mold. Right now,

(12:15):
there is an ad that is up on glad social media.
Glad is putting twenty million dollars behind pushing out ads
in battleground states. And let me set the scene for
you and then you all really really must go and
check it out and share it on all of your

(12:37):
social media. So here is the scene. It's a classroom
like a elementary school, and there are rows of deaths.
All of the children have a red book in front
of them. There's a teacher in front of the classroom.
A black woman and a white man stay in a

(13:01):
gray suit standing next to her, and the teacher is
speaking in a very nervous tone in pitch because everything
that she is saying and how she's moving is being
watched by this white man in the gray suit. And
she says, Okay, kids, it's time for the pledge of allegiance.

(13:24):
And they open up their books and they begin this
new pledge that we've never heard before. So I pledge
allegiance to the United States and to the President of
the United States. I pledge to uphold biblical values that

(13:46):
the sanctity of marriage is between a man and a woman,
and uphold these virtues. And it goes on, and the
kids are reading, and the man, the white man in
the gray suit that is overseeing the class that is
being taught by the black woman teacher, is smiling and

(14:06):
nodding because they've won. No longer pledging allegiance to the
United States of America. You're pledging allegiance to the president
who knows above all, this omnipotent figure. It is about
the indoctrination of Christian values into our public school systems,

(14:31):
which is what they want, which is what they will have.
This isn't a game. It's never been a game. I've
been saying the same shit on air since twenty seventeen.
I can't even believe that I've been doing well gay
after that long. Since twenty seventeen, I've been talking about

(14:54):
the danger of Donald Trump white supremacy, that things in
this country we're going to get bloodier before they got better.
That his election was just the beginning, or dare I
say the end of American democracy? And everything that I
offered up on that election night in Canada when my

(15:17):
clip went semi viral, is that this is Donald Trump
and the Republican Party and white supremacies. Last stand has
come to pass. So when I tell you here today,
several years later, that we have reached as a country

(15:37):
the point of no return, please heed what it is
that I'm saying. Because I care about all of you
that listen to my show, that share my content, and
I care about your safety, and I care about the
safety of those that you love. And when I tell

(15:57):
you that the walls have closed in and that I
do not see a viable pathway forward given what their
Democrats are doing at this very moment, I am telling you,
I am urging you to think very, very carefully and

(16:19):
honestly about what your next moves can be. It's not
hyperbolic anymore, folks. We are three and a half months
away from an election. The President of the United States
is about to step down from running. It is a
toss up as to whether or not Kamala Harris is
going to be put in his place. This entire country

(16:42):
is in disarray, and the Republicans have circled the wagons
and linked arms, and they have a blueprint for operation
on day one, and they are winning over the American
people with their quote unquote toned down version of themselves
until the fucking happens. I don't want us to give up.

(17:04):
I want us to fight until that very last day.
But I am telling you that you can fight and
strategize and organize for your safety at the same goddamn time.
It is not one or the other in this moment.
It needs to be both. And these people are dangerous.

(17:25):
They are maniacal, and they are going to weaponize every
aspect of this country and make it unrecognizable. I know
that America is imperfect, but America is filled with the
possibility of the people. It contains as big as our
imaginations go. That is what makes America different. And they

(17:51):
have ushered in this sense of hopelessness and devastation that
makes us believe that they are inevitable. They're not. But
I am telling you to do both, and at this
moment both prepare to fight, whether that is through your donations,
through your vote, through your organizing, through get out the

(18:13):
vote efforts, what have you. But make a plan because
the clock is ticking and we are running out of time.
That is it for me today. Dear friends on wok
af as always, power to the people and to all
the people. Power. Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
