Speaker 1

Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with Meet your Girl daniel Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, First off, let me say that I really hope that you are checking out my new YouTube channel at Danielle

Moody Underscore. You can go ahead into the search button and type in Danielle Moody channel and subscribe, because that is where I am providing of the moment commentary and my thoughts on things that are happening in the moment that I don't have the opportunity necessarily to record a pod at that time and get it up, and so I'm finding that I'm having a lot of fun over there.

And if you were following along, then you were watching the debate with me on Mary Trump's channel with myself and Mary and gentalb and then you were getting the shorts that I was putting up after the debate and watching my show yesterday Get Woke with Danielle Moody providing of the moment thoughts on the debate. So I say all that to say, dear friends, I'm having a lot of fun over there, and I would love for you to come over and join the fun and subscribe, So

on today's show. This is kind of a mid or end week solo show on top of fucket Friday, which you will of course have on Friday. But I wanted to give you all as we have now two days have passed since the extraordinary debate where Kamala Harris, the

Vice President, absolutely dominated from beginning to end. And you know what I continue to say is so frustrating is that you have this overqualified black, an Indian woman who has the most experience from being an Ada to a DA to an ag to the vice president of the United States, who is whip smart, articulate, thoughtful, and is on stage with an utter failure and buffoon of a human being. But because he's white, and he's male, and he's rich, somehow the media and America for that matter,

see them on equal footing. And what was so astonishing was listening to Donald Trump without interfering interpretation, just for yourself. And I said this last week when we got clips of him at the Economic Club in New York. Donald Trump does not know what the fuck he's talking about. Ever.

He throws around words and numbers and just it's like putting a bunch of shit into a bottle and just shaking it and then spilling it onto the floor and saying, look what a masterpiece I created, when all you made was a mess. Every time that Donald Trump was asked

a question on Tuesday, he deflected. He distracted with things that were debunked in the moment, like the what's happening in Springfield, Ohio with them eating dogs and cats and murders and this, that and the other thing, and then David Muir saying, quick pause, we have fact checked this, and no, the city manager says that there have been absolutely no reports. The police say that there have been

no reports of the kind. Well, I'm watching TV. Okay, so you're watching Newsmax and Fox News, which is a closed loop of racism and lies to be your guide. The same network Fox News that paid out nearly eight hundred million dollars for elevating and amplifying your lie about the twenty twenty presidential election being stolen. So those are

your sources. And when asked directly about whether or not he would sign a national abortion band, yes or no question, Yes or no question, Donald Trump goes on tangents about women giving birth and then executing their babies and Kamala Harris looking over at him like you small, stupid fool, with such pity and disdain and almost amusement on her face at like, how have I gotten this far in my life, in my career and I still find myself being placed next to an absolutely unqualified white man, and

I'm still tap dancing backwards and in heels like Ginger Rogers when talked about dancing with fred Astaire, who was, Oh, FREDA. Staire is amazing, Yes, except I do everything he does. But backwards and in heels is the story of what it means to be a woman in this country. And then you want to add racism on top of that misogyny,

and my god, do you have a lethal cocktail? So I know the look given that look to many people that think that because of their race and because of their gender, and because of their bank account, that somehow they are worthy, because you see, deep down, not even that deep, because Donald Trump is like a fucking puddle, they know how fragile and how insecure and how absolutely

unworthy they truly are. When Kamala Harris is on that stage talking about the measure of strength and strength not being about who you can put down but about who you lift up. That is the measure of leadership. Nowhere in anyone's corporation, nonprofit, philanthropic, you know place when you are trying to rally your staff, your students, is there any book, audiotape, podcast, or course that tells you that belittling people demonizing them will get you the best results.

But that's how Donald Trump has run his crime organization, his family, and his failed administration. So when I saw headlines coming out of that debate the following day where it was saying, oh, you know, Kamala Harris did what she needed to be done, but undecided to remain on shore, I did a whole video on YouTube about undecided and basically the theme of that video was missed me with the bullshit, because there is no way that you remain undecided between whether or not you are going to vote

for a thirty four time felon, adjudicated rapist, grifter and fraud, habitual liar, racist, and misogynist twice impeached impotent small man over a prosecutor, former senator, former ag vice president of the United States that is talking to the American people about what she can do for you, as opposed to the grievances that she has and say to yourself, I'm not so sure who's gonna do well for me? No,

you do. You're just too embarrassed to say that you're a racist or a misogynist or just a fucking idiot, and you're going with Donald Trump because I'm so well past the stage, not that I ever actually got to the stage where I am interested in handholding and trying to pack and understand the racism that leads people to

vote against their best interest. We talk to our friend doctor Jonathan Metzil every week, author of Dying of Whiteness, about people that literally will cut off their nose and limbs so long as they can spite a black person or a person of color. So to me, there are

not people that are undecided. You don't watch those ninety minutes and say to yourself unless you are absolutely high and completely and totally delusional, as I'm assuming most of the Republicans are at this moment, because I don't know how else you would stomach Donald Trump without some liquid or pill form of soothing, Because that man is an embarrassment.

And as was said by I think Chris Wallace, who was just like I, didn't think that I would see another terrible, catastrophic debate in my time like the Trump Biden first debate. But my god, this was just as bad. So where are the calls for Donald Trump to step down? Where is mainstream media saying he doesn't seem to have not only not the temperament, the mental acuity, the judgment to be president of the United States. Again, none of what Donald Trump said yesterday on that stage on Tuesday

made any sense. It took him, I think, less than five minutes to race bait with the lies about Springfield, Ohio and Haitians. It took him no time at all to lie about women in these United States killing their babies. And I really appreciate those that came out with memes that said no, no, an abortion after birth is called a school shooting. You know, the thing that you tell us to get over that you don't really care about that, as according to JD. Vance, is just a quote unquote

fact of life. So when I look at where we are right now, I say to myself, don't get complacent. Don't at all think that, well, the polls say that she's up, she's killing it. I don't really have to worry. Everything's gonna work out fine, because, folks, I will tell you, with fifty three days left until the presidential election, and I think that a lot of places start early voting in the next like two to three weeks. This thing

is not done until it's done. And to me, it is not done until one she is not only the projected winner, but the winner of the twenty twenty four presidential contest. And two it's not done until she puts her hand on that Bible on inauguration Day and is sworn in as a forty seventh president of the United States.

So we have a lot of work to do in fifty three days, because in fifty three days, we're either going to have a man who spreads conspiracies and lies because he finds racism a helpful tool, who is a bumbling idiot that sat on American stage last night and hailed Victor orbon dictator and hungry hailed Putin as a strong man on national fucking television. It's either him or Vice President Kamala Harris. And looking at the polls, this is still a fifty to fifty toss up, which is

fucking wild to me. So I don't want folks to think to themselves, oh, this is done, We've won. We have not won until it is over, and there is so much work to do. I will say that the Vice President exceeded expectations. I have never in my professional career witnessed the type of astronomical rise of anyone like we are witnessing right now. I have never seen anyone. And I said this on my YouTube channel, meet the moment, the way that the Vice President is meaning this moment.

This campaign has been fucking seamless. And as somebody whose job it has been to critique and to analyze our politics, the messaging of the Democratic Party, I am just outdone with the exceptionalism because guess what, folks, it's not as if she hired a whole bunch of new people. They just got i don't know, a new swagger, backbone, dusted off their old books, threw them in the trash, and

said it's today's a new day. But I feel like when Kamala Harris wins this campaign, this playbook is going to be studied and replicated over and over and over again. What she has done is go beyond the Obama coalition. Yes, she has invigorated us with hope and possibility, which are too two necessary ingredients of America, of patriotism, of desire, of opportunity. You know when she says things like we are an I want to create an opportunity economy. All

people want is a chance. And all the Republican Party has ever been held bent on is denying people a chance. And I said this the other day. If you believed yourself to be so powerful, so superior as Maga does, then you wouldn't need to throw obstacles in people's way. You wouldn't need to tie them down and hold them back, but you would just let them run the race, knowing that you're faster, you're better, but you're not. And we see it play out over and over again with the fragility.

Fifty three days. Fifty three days is the time that we have to change the course of history, fifty three days to envision America as a place of possibility, a place that is not perfect and will never be perfect, but a place that is filled with people that are willing to try to make their lives just a bit better today than they were yesterday because they're willing to put in the work. Donald Trump has no vision for this country. He is set over and over again. It's

a shithole. It's a horrible place. Not when I walk out my front door. I don't want his America. His America is sad and it's dystopian. It's dark, it's depressing. It lacks air and movement. It's restrictive and narrow and small. I, like many of you, want to live a life that is big and bold and filled with possibility. That we're all eager as we're on our path looking out towards the horizon what's on the other side, and we do so with excitement. We have an opportunity in fifty three days,

and I'm not just praying for the change. I'm not just hoping for the change. I am activating, hopefully tens of thousands of people to recognize their power in this moment, to forge a new way forward, because after watching that shit show, that dumpster fire, I will say it here and I will say it often, We're not going back, have never gone there in the first place, but we sure as hell ain't going back now that we know

what's there. That is it for me today, Dear friends on woke af as always, power to the people and to all the people power, get woke, and stay woke as fuck.
