Speaker 1

Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with me your Girl. Daniel Moody recording from the home bunker, Folks. I'm coming to today as Hurricane Milton is preparing to make landfall. We have twenty seven days at the time of this recording until the election. The second catastrophic hurricane is landing in Florida within two weeks of each other. There is still debris that is piled up on once inhabited neighborhoods and streets where another storm that meteorologists are

literally on air. As John Morales was at NBC six breaking down trying to describe the indescribable a hurricane that developed into a Category five from a tropical depression within forty eight hours. It is like nothing these people have ever seen. Climate change is not imminent. It is here, It has arrived, and it is causing billions of dollars worth of damage and it is costing hundreds of people

their lives. Meanwhile, we have Donald Trump and the MAGA Republican Party playing games using AI deep fakes to spread their lives about where funding is and isn't happening. It doesn't matter that Republican governor including the odious Rond DeSantis, has taken to the airwaves in their press conferences to say that they have received the funding that they need from Joe Biden and that they know that they will receive more. Donald Trump, as Vice President Kamala Harris said

on the view, lacks empathy. The man is a fucking sociopath who cares about no one and nothing other than himself. And yet nearly fifty percent of the population refuses to believe their own eyes and ears and science and instead choose to believe a man that can't go through one

sentence without lying. The election is so close, folks, because we have a racist electoral college that decides that rural states, in areas that don't have the populations of urban centers and suburbs, have more power or just the same amount of power in their voice and vote as the rest of us do. It is past time that our elections be decided by the popular vote. The person with the most votes wins. It is an extraordinary offense to democracy that you could win the popular vote by ten million

and lose an election. It is outrageous where we find ourselves as a country. It is outrageous. I never would have imagined that we would live in a time where people would actually believe that the world is flat, because that's where we are right now, where it doesn't matter what scientists are saying, what meteorologists are saying, what climate

scientists are saying. So we can't actually work to fix this problem because we're too busy going back and forth on the broke down social media platform Twitter arguing over

whether what is actually happening is happening. It's insane. You have folks who are being told to evacuate and recognizing that we don't even have the proper infrastructure in this country, in these states to be able to evacuate people in the way that they need to be evacuated, because the fact is, folks, while we want to believe that this is a quote unquote wealthy nation, the reality is is

that it's really not. That a majority of people are one illness, one accident, one incident away from being fucking broke. That's not wealth. So while people are like, go ahead, evacuate fleet, where are they going. Are they leaving their jobs? They're leaving their homes to go where and do what? Exactly every single hurricane we see people that are stranded in their homes, that are stranded on roofs, and we want to admonish those people. Why didn't you leave sooner?

Because they had no fucking place to go. And also we don't have the infrastructure or databases, it seems to locate people as quickly as possible because a Republican party is too busy wanting to put a database together to track pregnancies and menstrual cycles and not those that are in need during disaster. And it's like every single time that we have one of these historic storms, we're starting

from zero having learned nothing. These storms, these incidents, whether it is hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, they are getting worse every fucking year. But Ron DeSantis thought it was more important to erase or wide out the word climate change because ignoring the problem will make it go away. Sticking your head in the fucking sand like an ostrich will make it go away. No, it just makes you more susceptible to the disaster because you're not bracing yourself forward because

you'd rather pretend that it's not happening. These people do not deserve to be in power, and they should not be because their ignorance, their callousness. Their bullshit is costing

people their lives. I was watching as folks are being interviewed at gas stations as they're trying to flee the path of the storm, regurgitating the right wing lies that there is no money and Biden isn't sending relief and people are suffering X, Y, and Z, and I'm just like, because you're listening to Fox News, these people should be held fucking accountable because their lies are no longer jokes anymore.

They are putting people at risk. I'm so angry today because you're watching this and you're seeing these storms, and you've seen these patterns build up, and you're just like, it's only going to get worse. The marker that climate scientists were looking at in terms of the water the ocean's warming to that one point five degree celsy as well. Apparently, according to climate scientists, we passed that last year, So what used to be regular storms now each and every

year will become superstorms. As one meteorologist on the Weather Channel was stating that before Milton reaches landfall, there is another patch of deep warm water in the Gulf that is going to pass over where it is probable that it's going to gain more strength before it hits landfall. And yet you have idiots that are saying that this is an act of God. No it is not. This is an act of stupidity. Marjorie Taylor Green wants to

tell folks, Oh, they control the weather. No, but y'all fucking idiots are the ones that are absolutely controlling the power that it would take to mitigate these storms and these damages. So yes, to some degree, Marjorie, You're absolutely fucking right, Just like the hundreds of Republicans that voted against increasing aid for FEMA, but then want to turn around and say, oh, FEMA is broke. You all control the purse strings. You want to talk about who's in power.

If I'm Democrats, I'm running pictures of the devastation along with the fucking names and districts of those Republicans in the House of Representatives and those Senators that voted against aid. That's what I'm doing. You want to know why you're not getting the resources that you need. This is to blame. I saw somebody the other day that said we should start naming these storms after the politicians that voted against doing anything any efforts around climate change, so called the storm,

Hurricane Trump, Hurricane Marjorie, Hurricane Gates, Hurricane DeSantis. It doesn't need to be this way. That's what becomes so frustrating,

is that it doesn't need to be this way. You know, it's twenty seven days until the election is over, and the fact that we are in a fifty to fifty place of Project twenty twenty five being operationalized in all fifty states, of a fifty to fifty chance of a national abortion ban, a fifty to fifty chance of massive deportations and concentration camps for both undocumented in legal immigrants, a fifty to fifty chance of camps being set up for black people, for queer people, for a database that

tracks women's menstruation, that tracks their movement. A fifty to fifty chance of the Supreme Court overturning what gave women economic freedom in this country. It's all on the line, and the fact that I sit here and can't state unequivocally that we're going to win is so terrifying. And it isn't for lack of a kick ass campaign that the Harris Walls team is running. I have no blame to place on Democrats for their messaging or anything, because

it has everything has been fucking stellar. But we are up against jerry mandering, voter suppression, stealing, underhanded maneuvering that is happening in places like Georgia where they want to count ballots by hand. We are up against so much deception, and I don't know if everything that has been done and is being done on the side of the righteous is actually going to work because we have too many places where just recently a Muslim group in Michigan has

decided to endorse Jill Stein. Are you fucking stupid? We all know the situation that is happening in Israel and Gaza and the devastation that has been caused over the last year at the hands of that and Yahoo. We know you think that voting against your possible only chance of any type of liberation makes fucking sense. But here these people are. This is the stand that they want to take. Oh, if we don't do it now, then it'll never happen. Great, good, good for you. I don't know, folks,

I truly I don't know. I know that people are doing everything that they can. I know that the zoom calls continue, I know that the fundraising continues. I know that the education into trying to combat disinformation is continuing.

I just don't know if it's enough. Because Hurricane Trump has been waging over America for roughly nine years at this point, has a rectavic on our institutions, has destroyed our faith in each other, and what's possible, has sewed so much animous and hate, and I just I don't see any signs of its stopping. Only a handful of states, with a handful of white people who are more racist than they are reasonable, are going to decide this election.

I don't get it. I don't get it, and it's unbearable to think about that this could very well be it. That these are literally the final days of democracy. Like I kept saying on my show on YouTube, the Daniel Mudy Show, which you should all subscribe to, that is live every Monday through Thursday, Folks like I don't know what we do if he wins, because this is not going to be a repeat of twenty seventeen. They mean to stay forever, and the acceleration in the deterioration of

our country will be mind blowing. And I keep saying that when Rome was falling when empires were falling around the world, did they know it while it was happening. In hindsight, we say, why didn't people get out of dodge when they could? Because they didn't know that this was the end. I pray for us that this is not, but I honestly do not know, and that is what is absolutely terrifying. This country is in a world of trouble. If we win in November. The danger that I feel

between November and January is so high. And if we win in November, we really only gain a four year lease on our democracy because MAGA is not going away. In those four years. Maybe Donald Trump will be prosecuted. I doubt he'll ever see jail. I doubt he'll ever pay any of the fines that he's supposed to pay. But if he becomes president, it is almost certain that he will once again have outsmarted the law. Thank you to the Supreme Court. So much is at stake, and

I know that all of you know this. Twenty seven days until the last vote is cast, and then who knows how long it will take for us to know whether or not democracy survives. So all I say to you, dear friends, is buckle up. Take good care of yourselves of each other, because we are in for it for the next several months. Please do make sure to join me on YouTube for the Daniel Ludy Show that is
