America is in Danger

my fucking god, what a disaster. I have to tell you that for several months now, when the Biden administration decided that they wanted to do this debate early, and it was off the heels of his really strong State of the Union address, which had also really low expectations of him doing well or you know, essentially fucking being

wheeled in. That's basically what folks were saying. We were blown away at the State of the Union, right, because I think that the expectations were so low that basically we were anticipating what it was that we got last night. Friends, I cannot express to you, before I even dive into my thoughts, how much fucking trouble we are in as a country, Like, how much trouble we are in as

a country. America is in danger. Three hundred and thirty million plus people live in this country, and these are the two best candidates that we have, right, And I you know, look, Joe Biden, by all approximations, has done a really stellar job in a really difficult climate. He came in to a country that had been ravished by COVID nineteen, whose predecessor told us all to shoot, bleach up our ass right, or shine lights as a way

to get rid of COVID nineteen. There was no vaccines available, right, So, like, remember where we were. Also, you know, the capital had been ransacked on January sixth, twenty twenty one, just days before Biden would be inaugurated. So I want folks to like take the time machine back with me to where we were in twenty twenty one before we get to where we ended up last fucking night. Okay, So where we were in twenty twenty one was at that time

close to five hundred thousand Americans had died of COVID nineteen. Right, we'd had a memorial the only one, by the way, that we have had since the beginning of COVID to recognize this devastating global health pandemic. Donald Trump had tanked our economy. We were teetering on the way to a recession,

if not depression esque. Right, Yes, inflation is incredibly high but also Joe Biden put together the infrastructure bill, right, Joe Biden started to say, we need to relieve student loan debt because our students, our young people, are fucking suffering and they are never going to be able to contribute to this country in any real way because they're

under so much goddamn debt. So folks like I just want us to remember where we were so that we understand where we are right now, which brings me to tonight. Last night, Like, I did not have high expectations, Okay, I did not think that Joe Biden was going to come in and rip open his shirt and like be Superman to save the day. I certainly, however, did not think that Joe Biden could possibly look any older or sound any older than he already is. I am not

an agist. I like for there to have been a younger candidate for this country to showcase like progress, us moving forward with youth and vigor. Absolutely, but that's not the cards that we have been dealt. Right, So at the end of the day, I'm like, Okay, let's just swallow it, right, Like, we'll swallow it. It'll be fine, because I mean, all we have to do is show the American people just how fucking dangerous Donald Trump is.

But then polls start coming out, and you know, if you listen to WOKF Daily or The New Abnormal or Democracy Is any of my shows that I don't put a lot of stock in polls. But when polls start to come out where they say that most Americans think that Roe v. Wade was overturned because of Joe Biden

and not because Donald Trump won. And I use that in air quotes the twenty sixteen presidential election, which gave him the ability to appoint not one, not two, but three right wing Supreme Court justices, right, like, that's why the fuck we're here. But a majority of Americans who are not as in touch and in tune as all of you that are tuning in right now, folks, they think that Joe Biden is the reason why we lost Roe v. Wade. This is why education is so fucking important.

This is why it is so important for people to understand right how fucking government works, and why you have like right wing folks trying to gut our education systems so that they can dumb down the fucking constituency to their levels. But folks, let me explain to you three Supreme Court justices, right, Why, let me tell you because

Mitch McConnell stole one seat from Barack Obama. Barack Obama did not fight back, did not take fucking Mitch McConnell and the Senate to court for disallowing him the constitutionally afforded ability into a point a Supreme Court justice. Democrats

just kind of shrugged and let that go. Do you think that if Republicans had been in the same position and Democrats had had the ability to hold up a fucking Supreme Court appointment that like they would have just been like, oh, I guess you know, Democrats don't want us to do it, so I guess we won't. That was one seat, right, then you had the two others. The second one of those, Justice Amy Cony Barrett seat was rushed through after after Joe Biden won the fucking election. So, folks,

Republicans fucking stole three Supreme Court seats. That's how we got here to a place where every day we are waiting for the Supreme Court to close their session with baited breath, with knots in our fucking stomach, to see what rights they are going to rip away from us now because guess what, president doesn't exist. But in last night's debate, did you hear them talk about the Supreme Court in any real way? Did you hear those two fucking idiot moderators. I don't even know if you can

call them moderators. Basically, they worked as an equivalent of a mic stand on a fucking stage, just like there, because they didn't fucking fact check, They didn't ask really pertinent follow up questions or questions that actually made any sense about where the fuck we are right now or

what kind of danger we are in. They allowed Donald Trump to basically use this forum as a political rally where, oh, you know, he was just able to lie and deflect and lie, and all Dana Bash said was okay, So the original question was what you just allowed this man to go on for over seventy seconds, lying blatantly to the American people, telling them, by the way, that he was the reason that prescription drug were coming down in price to thirty five dollars, that insulin was at thirty

five dollars. He's lying standing next to the actual president that did that, and neither her or Jake Tapper say to them. Uh, actually, mister Trump, that's not true. You didn't hear that phrase uttered, not one goddamn time, folks. I gotta tell you when I say that we are in danger, it is not just because I think that pretty much. Joe Biden did his best weekend at Bernie's impersonation, And yes, I'm showing my age, but it is a classic. Okay,

it's a classic movie and everyone should watch it. It's not great, but it's classic, you know, comedy. I don't care if Joe Biden is sworn in from a hospice bed. I don't care, because what I do know is that Donald Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet outside of Elon Musk. Right. Elon Musk is just a bit more dangerous because he's actually a multi billionaire that had the ability to buy a social media platform and basically disband it completely from what it was used for

several years ago. If we had had this debate right on a functioning Twitter, right, folks would be organizing, talking, connecting baul bah. We don't do that anymore because the place is a fucking swamp. So I say this to say that Joe Biden not the best candidate Joe Biden and his team. They fucking failed last night. I don't know who did the debate prep, but as John Stewart joked on The Daily Show, I wish they would have used enhancement drugs legal or not, I don't give a fup.

Because what we needed, right was a boost of confidence that, like our entire democracy, this two hundred and fifty plus a year old project is not going to go down the fucking tubes. And here's the thing that I want people to understand. Because folks love to tell me that I am hyperbolic. Folks love to tell me that, like you know, oh Danielle, you're just on one, am I? Because I want you to think about tell me a show of hands, who has read Project twenty twenty five,

who has heard about Project twenty twenty five. Let me give you some glimpse into what the Republican's plan is for America, for their reimagining of America. And here's the difference. Because here's the other thing too. People want to tell you that we survived the last Trump administration, so we'll survive again. Motherfuckers. Does this look like survival to you? Right? We have lost the access to bodily autonomy. Right, the Supreme Court just decided kick the can down the road

about m tala. Let me tell you a bit about am tala, and TALA is the federal guidance that allows abortions to be used in cases of emergency to save the life of a pregnant person. They sued the state of Idaho for disallowing am tala in practice, meaning that if a woman were to come in and she was bleeding out on the verge of death, that they still an abortion was the only way to save her life.

Idaho said, I don't know about that, so we're not gonna do it, meaning that if a doctor were to actualize the oath that they took, which is to do no harm, that that doctor could also be thrown in jail. So these are the decisions, right. So the Supreme Court decided yesterday that okay, maybe we won't let the women and the people of Idaho die in this very moment. But as Katanji Brown Jackson said in her descent, this

was not a victory for pregnant people in Idaho. This was once again the Supreme Court dawdling and stalling on making an actual, definitive decision on the health and well being of pregnant people in the state of Idaho. Right, they were not definitive on what constitutes an emergency. And do you understand that the American Medical Board sent letters to the Supreme Court to ask them how much blood must a woman use? How many organs must go into failure for us to be able to use this life

saving medical procedure. Do you understand the world that we are living in right now? It gets worse, friends, because if Donald Trump becomes president, all bets are off. So let me walk you through some of the highlights of Project twenty twenty five. They want to move away from birthright citizenship. Mm hmm, I guess subject to some type of what review board by white supremacists to decide whether or not you were worthy of being a citizen. Won't

matter if you're born in these United States. Okay, that's just a little highlight. Something else that they're toying around with. Oh, no fault divorce? What is that you ask, Well, before we had no fault divorce on the books, and that was roughly and I think the late nineteen sixty sixty nine, early nineteen seventies, you had to prove that you needed

a divorce. There had to be some type of matlice that was done right, which means that if you were being abused, whether that is emotionally, physically, or financially right, it was up to the decision of a judge. You had to petition right in order to get a divorce. You couldn't just say, oh, quote unquote irreconcilable differences. They did not give a fuck. So now that gave women an out right largely from abusive situations, because they were no longer going to have to prove that there was

a considerable amount of malice before they left an abusive marriage. Well, if you listen to right wing podcasters or if you look at Project twenty twenty five, that is one of the things that they would like to, you know, revisit no fault divorce. Another thing on the chopping block, which I'm sure many of you have already heard him, been

paying attention to contraception. That's right. There's an ad by We the Vote that is circulating around on social media that shows a man and a woman making out hot and heavy in a car. Right, he says, give me one second there in front of what I can only presume as a boudet, I live in New York, so that's what I'm going to presume that it is. He hops out of the car. She's fixing our lipstick. He goes up to the counter and he says, you know, hey, I'd like to buy pack of condoms and a rose.

And the clerk takes out, in this ad that is being run right now, takes out a clipboard and says, yes, so are these condoms going to be used with a spouse? Are these condoms going to be used in a heterosexual relationship? Is this relationship monogamous? Right? They start running down all of this list, and what is this ad trying to show us that they can take away our access to contraception?

And that doesn't just mean birth control, right, the pills that you pop, or the IUDs or what it means everything. And they haven't gone after it right now. But if you look at the policy, the legislation that is being introduced by Republicans in the Senate, you will see that they have a piece of legislation that is about life happening at conception, right. That is their bill to get rid of IVF, which is already happening in Alabama. That

is their bill also to get rid of contraception. So tell me what life, folks, What life will women and people with uteruses have in Trump's America two point zero? When you don't have the ability to leave an abusive relationship, you no longer have access to bodily autonomy. I want people to also remember, do you know when women got financial freedom? Was nineteen seventy three? Nineteen seventy three. These

are all things that they're looking at. Why because white male fragility cannot have women having any type of power in this country whatsoever? Someone told me because I didn't watch The Handmaid's Tale. Do you know why? Because to me, it was like watching a doctor documentary, people like, oh, this could never happen, blah blah. Now you see all these fucking memes because apparently in the opening of The Handmaid's Tale, the Conservatives or whatever the group or class

is called, suspended the Constitution. You think to yourself, oh, my god, they could never suspend the Constitution. Who would let them do that? Who would stop them? The six to three Supreme Court that we have, where Samuel Lolalito was just caught on audio saying that America is a Christian nation. Our judge, our Supreme Court judge, said that America is a Christian nation, and there are just some people that we can't live shoulder to shoulder with. That's

what Justice Alito has said. Justice Alito also, you know, thinks that he's a doctor he clearly took a wrong turn and decided to go to law school. Or he thinks that he's some type of fucking clergyman, also what he is not. But the fact is, folks, that all of the things that we think are sci fi that couldn't possibly happen, are actually happening right now. You have lawsuits that are disallowing venture capitalists firms from investing in

black owned businesses. You have LGBTQ student unions, black student union clubs, Indigenous clubs that are all centers that are being shut down in Utah right now because they have their anti DEI bills on the books right now. So, folks, we don't actually have to wait for an election to see what the fuck it is that Republicans are doing.

Steve Bannon, that psycho motherfucker who should be in prison right now, will be reporting to prison for his content of Congress, but not for what he was doing by defrauding fucking Maga people by having them buy bricks to build a wall. But he pocketed that money and there was no fucking wall built. He was charged for that crime, but guess who pardoned him, Donald fucking Trump. But what Steve Bannon has famously said is that we are going to take over village by village, city by city, state

by state. That's exactly what the fuck they are doing. So at last night's debate, let me go back to this place, folks, Donald Trump didn't need to answer any questions. Right, Every single fucking piece that was written, everythink piece that is out today is about how Biden needs to step down. By the way, the New York Times, every single one of their opinion writers I just posted than on my Instagram. Every single one of their opinion writers has a piece

up today saying that Biden needs to step down. Where was the coordination around everyone talking about the bloodthirsty, fucking Republican cult that is ushering in fascism? Where is the alarm ringing? Do you know what they did about Project twenty twenty five in the fucking New York Times, They pretty much gave it the Hitler Home and Gardens fucking treatment. It was like basically a lifestyle post about the fucking author of this insane anti American manifesto. It was a

highlight piece. It was not alarm, alarm, alarm. You're losing democracy one state at a fucking time. So for all of us that are sitting in these blue states that are like, whoof well, at least I don't live in Florida. Ooh, at least I don't live in Texas. What the fuck do you think that they're doing. This is a testing ground, folks. They are testing these places where they are passing the most egregious anti American shit. It is a fucking Petrie dish.

They want to see how far they can go. Because you know what we're not doing. We are not organizing, we are not boycotting, We are not out in the streets. Do you know the piece of legislation that they just kicked down from the Supreme Court, which is to disallow organizing. This is a case that ran through Louisiana because they wanted to charge Deray mckennison, the organizer of a Black Lives Matter protest in Louisiana, where a cop had a

rock thrown at him. So now they are making organizers liable for the thousands of people that could show up if one piece of property is damaged, if one cop is hurt, guess who's gonna go to jail? Those that organized. They are coming for every action that we could possibly take in opposition. I cannot express this enough. We as a country, as a people, are in danger. We have an imperfect fucking candidate in Joe Biden. But do you know what I still believe about him. He believes in

the constitution, he believes in the rule of law. I don't give a fuck how he stumbles. I don't give a fuck about the blank stares, because you know what I do know. He has a confident and very young Vice President of the United States. He has confident fucking staff around him. But what I do know is that everyone around Donald Trump is either indicted, in jail or on their fucking way. These people project twenty twenty five.

They have twenty thousand fucking sycophants that are in their bagga white supremacist LinkedIn, ready to take on every single agency from the inside out. On the day Donald Trump puts his hand on that fucking Bible on the steps of the Capitol Building in twenty twenty five? Do you understand that there will be no fucking recourse after that?

So I would rather fight and protest an imperfect president than fight for my fucking life with somebody that wanted the ability to shoot protesters in the leg in Lafayette Square following the killing of George Floyd. He asked General Milly, can't we just shoot them? Milly wrote about it in his fucking book. Milly said, no, you can't shoot them. That goes against the constitution. Do you understand there will be no General Milli's for as vapid and as spineless

as a Mike Pences. Do you understand there will be no Mike Pence that says we need to accept such and such results, folks. I don't know the levels, if it's level orange, level red five, alarm fire, whatever the fuck it is. But I need everybody who is on the fucking fence right now to wake the fuck up. All the people that are in your life, young people, old people, black people, queer people that are saying to you they can't stomach voting for Joe Biden. Joe Biden

is out of it. Let me tell you something, That motherfucker is our last hope and it ain't right. Do I feel great about it? No, the fuck I don't. But do you know what I won't feel great about Donald Trump and those fucking maga Republicans being able to write us out of history, to write us out, to erase us, because let me tell you something, if you are not white, if you are not straight, if you weren't not sis, if you are not their pseudo version

of Christian friends, time is up. Time is up because they are coming for everyone and everything and they are not gonna stop. They are not going to be satiated until this country looks like the nineteenth century. Do you know who was winning in the nineteenth century? White men, that's it. Women didn't have the right to vote, Black people were still in fucking shackles. They are bringing in. Let me tell you this as I close out right, because I only wanted to be on here for twenty

minutes and now it's close to thirty. But I am just out fucking done. But let me tell you one of the other things that they want to bring back that they're looking into over at the Heritage Foundation, where you can take a look see at Project twenty twenty five the Comstock Act. If you listen to the New Abnormal my co host Andy Levy over there, he's done several interviews about this. Comstock Act was enacted in eighteen sixty three. What is it, you ask, Oh, it disallows

the use of mail for anything that is deemed malicious, lascivious, indecent. Also, you can't use the mail to transport things like abortion pills or abortion equipment because those are deemed to be immoral.

Guess what was never repealed the Comstock Act. So while the Supreme Court is allowing mifepristone, the abortion pill right which was approved by the FDA over twenty five years ago, to continue use, which means that even in those states that have not put up a full ban on abortion, that if the Supreme Court had decided that we were no longer going to allow the use of mifha pristone,

it would affect all fifty states. Well. The Compstock Act is another avenue for Republicans to disallow the use of mifa pristone and also surgical abortion because guess how you get those things to hospitals visa VI the mail? They are digging into nineteenth century laws, folks, in order to shackle and oppress all of us. So for my folks that are like, ah, Biden, ain't it, I can't do it. I want you to understand you will not have a second bite at the fucking apple. There was a time

in Germany where folks were like, should we leave? Should we not? Like something doesn't feel right? But am I being his hysterical Guess what? The ones that were hysterical and fucking fled. They live to tell stories, they live to create families, others perished. We are in that fucking place where the only thing that is coming to save us is our ability that we still have to fucking vote. And I will end with this. I am not telling

you that you need to love Joe Biden. I am not telling you that you need to skip and gallop to the polls like we did in two thousand and eight or we did in twenty twelve. I am not telling you that you need to go and buy Biden Harris swag. What I am telling you is that you need to vote for yourself. You need to vote for the children that you love that are in your lives. You need to vote for the elderly people who will be kicked off of Medicare and Medicaid and social Security.

You need to vote because you believe in the preservation of this project, this very imperfect project that we call democracy, because every fucking thing is at stake. And for those that say, well, we made it through the last four years, so we'll be able to do it. Folks. The fences are down right, the guards are away. The fucking lunatics are running this shit. We are it, We are it. We have just a handful of months left to organize everyone that is in our lives. That is your task.

That is what I'm tasking you with. You tell them you don't have to love Joe Biden. I don't love Joe Biden. Right. If I could have chosen another person, I would have chosen another person. But you play with the fucking cards you are dealt. That is where we are.

So until we have the opportunity to hold on to this shit show that we call America for four more years and have that time in order to build the pipeline that we need to secure this country for generations to come, don't play with your fucking vote because you are playing with your life. And for those again who say I'm not really into this politics thing, I'd rather just numb myself with some bullshit TV and some cocktails and whatever. Lift your head up out of the sand, okay,

because that's the easiest way that you get mode over all. Right, dear friends, I am out share this with your people, tell them to follow me like me, do all of those things, because apparently that shit matters in the algorithms. I'm sure I may be shadow band after this is off, so you know, you can follow me at Danielle Moody dot com. I put up a newsletter twice a month, The damn Die Jeff.
