1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to WOKF Daily with me

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: your girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Happy first, Wow is it really the first? I guess

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: it's the first live fucking Friday that I'm doing of

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and boy do I have so many

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: things to say fuck it to and it's only twelve

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: days in, but let me start out with this. So

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: this week South Africa is presenting a case in front

9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: of the Hague laying out how Israel has broken international

10
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: law and is committing genocide with their consistent and nonstose

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: hummeling of Gaza, which has killed well over twenty thousand

12
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Palestinians in two months. And you would be hard pressed

13
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: to find any fucking coverage in the United States of

14
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: this really important case that is being brought by South

15
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: Africa in front of the Hague because guess what, It's

16
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: not being covered on any American news channel. It is

17
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: only being covered by Al Jazeera English. Now. I have

18
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: posted several clips to my stories on Instagram because I

19
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: am only finding out the information via clipse of what

20
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: is actually happening. And let me tell you something. You

21
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: know that shit is fucking dirty when no American news

22
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: cable news outlet is deciding to cover it, right, is

23
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: making you believe that it doesn't exist, that it's not

24
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: actually happening. That when the United States was pressed in

25
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: recent press conference, they said, oh, there's nothing to see here,

26
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: it's nothing but nonsense. I want to remind folks something

27
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: that I saw recently too, that said, it was the

28
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: United States and the UK that were among the last

29
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: countries in the world to recognize apartheid that was happening

30
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: in South Africa. So should it shock any of us that,

31
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: as we are witnessing with our own fucking eyes what

32
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: is transpiring in Gaza, that the United States would be

33
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: having an entire blackout as it pertains to what South

34
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Africa is charging. So you know, you can find the

35
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: story in the New York Times. Like I said, you

36
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: can follow Al Jazeera America, you can follow put in

37
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: the Hague, put in South Africa, and you will be

38
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: able to get that information. It is just so fucking

39
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: disgusting where the world is right now, right that you

40
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: want to claim quote unquote fucking democracy and oh we

41
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: got to uphold this, that and the other thing, and

42
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the key to democracy being an educated citizenship citizensree and

43
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: in order for there to be an educated citizen injury,

44
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: you would have to allow for information to break through.

45
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: So you tell me the difference between how China and

46
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Russia block information and what the United States cable networks

47
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: are doing. Now. The difference is that the Chinese government

48
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: and the Russian government own the television networks, right, so

49
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: it's state run TV. But when every single network is

50
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: in cahoots with who they've decided is the enemy of

51
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the people and who is worth the coverage and who

52
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: is not, are we really actually getting any semblance of

53
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: truth from these outlets or again, are we all just

54
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: living in some type of matrix Truman Show meshup. The

55
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: difference between what is happening right now in Gaza and

56
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: what happened in South Africa is that we didn't have

57
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: the internet, we didn't have social media. So the only

58
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: way that you were getting information again was relying on

59
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: these major broadcast networks and cable news networks to tell

60
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: you what was happening through their white supremact lens. And

61
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: so now through the democratization of social media and the

62
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: use of the Internet, folks, you don't need to wait

63
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: for other people to tell you what is right and

64
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: what is wrong. You can see with your own two eyes, right.

65
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: I say this because the decisions that we have to

66
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: make in the next ten months are so weighted and

67
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: so fucking heavy and existential at that I can't pretend

68
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: to you that I have faith, encouragement, and excitement about

69
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, because I would be lying to you,

70
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: and I do not lie. What I will continue to

71
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: say is that whatever situation we are finding ourselves in

72
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: right now as a nation and as a globe, can,

73
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: in fact, and will in fact, get a million times

74
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: worse if Republicans regain power, because they will never let

75
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: it go. And the shit that we are seeing happening

76
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: in Idaho right with the Supreme Court allowing them to

77
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: institute their total abortion ban regardless of if a woman

78
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: are a pregnant person shows up in an emergency room

79
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: and needs emergency care. Idaho says, let them die, and

80
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has just said that's okay with us.

81
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: That will be nationalized right right now. Florida, following their guideline, says,

82
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: just banned the Dictionary, the fucking dictionary from schools. What

83
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: so that the complete curriculum wide out that is happening

84
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: in not only K through twelve education, but in higher

85
00:07:46,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: education in Florida will be nationalized. Texas has just turned

86
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: down three hundred and fifty million dollars worth of federal

87
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: LAID assistance that would allow the state to be able

88
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: to feed hungry children over the summer when school is closed.

89
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Texas has turned down that aid, saying they don't have

90
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the resources or the ability to implement such a program.

91
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: But do you know what they have the resources and

92
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: the ability to do. Oh to prosecute and hunt down

93
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: Kate Cox and other women that are looking for abortion care.

94
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what else they have the ability to do. Oh,

95
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: turn their police department into a migrant hunting group. So

96
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: they love themselves some fetuses, but hate the fucking kids.

97
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: That's what their policies tell you. That will be nationalized.

98
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: So everywhere that you see in states like Idaho, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana,

99
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: where you are seeing them institute abortion bands, get rid

100
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: of d and I Diversity equity and inclusion programs, where

101
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: they are firing presidents of universities. You know what happens

102
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: in fascist and authoritarian regimes. You know, the first people

103
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: to go the educated ones, the professors, the teachers, right

104
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: the presidents of universities. Then you go after the rabble rousers,

105
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: those that have the audacity to march, to speak out,

106
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: to use their platforms. They start disappearing. Then little by

107
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: little you look around and all of a sudden, there

108
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: are no places to have intellectual debate or conversation. There

109
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: are no longer any protests because you see that as

110
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: a right that is stated in our constitution, and much

111
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: like abortion and affirmative action and the right to vote,

112
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: those rights to assemble will be taken away, to have

113
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: the freedom of speech will be taken away. So I

114
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: am not sitting here to tell you that Joe Biden

115
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: is the best president and the best person for the job.

116
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: What I am saying is that is who the fuck

117
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: we have. So if you like freedom, even if you

118
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: are like me in this country and are just free ish,

119
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: the only way that we continue to have the ability

120
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: to try and perfect this very imperfect union, this very

121
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: imperfect country, is if we have a president in office

122
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: and in power that actually believes in the constitutions and

123
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: the tenants of a democracy, aps in that you have

124
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump having the ability to shoot protesters, because remember

125
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: what Mark Milly's book, right, General Millie's book stated out

126
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: very clearly, was that when Donald Trump wanted Lafayette Park

127
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: cleared following protests so that he could go take a

128
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: picture in front of a church he doesn't attend with

129
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: a book that he doesn't read, aka the Bible, he said,

130
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: can't we just shoot them in the leg or something.

131
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: General Milly said, Uh no, that's against the law. Who

132
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be around or who

133
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: would dare say to the new dictator in chief that

134
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to shoot protesters, that you're not

135
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: allowed to weaponize the military and law enforcement against the people.

136
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: There will be no one. There will be Tienemin Squares

137
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: all across this country. And for those that don't remember,

138
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Tieneman Square is when Chinese students stood up to protest

139
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the Chinese government and they literally rolled tanks over those students.

140
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: That little bit of Chinese history is not taught and

141
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: the Chinese don't know about that. We know about it.

142
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Those parents of those students were not even allowed to grieve,

143
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: They weren't even allowed to have funerals. And if they

144
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: did so, they would find themselves behind bars. That is

145
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump and the modest supremacist Party want the

146
00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: ability to do in the United States. Those who are

147
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: not pledging allegiance to Donald Trump and white supremacy will

148
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: in fact be rolled over. So, folks, this is not

149
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: really a hard fucking decision that we have to make

150
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: in ten months. Do you want freedom or not? Do

151
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: you want the ability to send your children to a

152
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: robust public school or one that is trying to improve

153
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: with each administration, or do you want the Republican Party

154
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: to finish the job that Donald Trump started by gutting

155
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: the public education budget, putting that into charter schools and

156
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: real religious schools. Because what will happen is that for

157
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the country that attends public schools, for

158
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: those that can afford private schools, oh well, go ahead,

159
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: if it's within your family budget to afford, you know,

160
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: an additional thirty forty fifty sixty thousand dollars a year,

161
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: not just for four years, but for twelve plus. By

162
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: all means, you have young kids, you want them to

163
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: have the ability to dictate their life and their future. Well,

164
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: you can't do that if you are pregnant at fifteen fourteen.

165
00:15:50,280 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: What democracy provides is possibility, is a hopefulness, something to

166
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: reach for, something too perfect. It isn't perfect. There is

167
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: no one that is coming to save us. We no

168
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: longer have the ability to have some type of political

169
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: and cultural dissonance. Every four years. We see that the

170
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: cost is too great, that the stakes are too fucking hot,

171
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: that the misinformation campaigns aren't just about spreading lies, but

172
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: they are about blacking out the truth. This country has

173
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: reached a precipice. It's either we move forward with this

174
00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: American and Democratic project or MAGA supremists take over and

175
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: we lose our voice, our vote, our bodily autonomy, and

176
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: no place and no space in this country will be safe.

177
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: There will be no next time. So as I sit

178
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: here on this fucked Friday, I want people to be angry.

179
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: I want people to call out this administration's hypocrisy. I

180
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: want people to hold this administration's feet to the fire

181
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: right and to disrupt speeches and events in March because

182
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: we have the right to do that right now. We

183
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: have the right and the responsibility as citizens of this

184
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: country to question our leaders. That's what it means to

185
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: live inside of a democracy, but you lose that right

186
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: when you decide that you're not going to vote, or

187
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw your vote away with the third party,

188
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: or just say oh I can't it doesn't align with

189
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: my values. Well, does maga supremacy align with your values?

190
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: Does white supremacy align with your values? Because that that's

191
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: the alternative Some elections, dear friends, are just about hanging

192
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: on and we have got to give this one ten

193
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: months out every fucking thing that we got because we

194
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: are not getting another chance. This is not a twenty

195
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: twenty REDUS, as people are saying, we thought that when

196
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: we got rid of Trump in twenty twenty that somehow

197
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: we were gonna quote unquote go back to normal. Well,

198
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: just like normal has not occurred following COVID, which a

199
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: thousand people a week are still dying from and being

200
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: hospitalized from. We just don't talk about it. It doesn't

201
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: mean that it's not happening. Just like we're not talking

202
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: about what is going on in Gaza and what the

203
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: United States is funding and how South Africa has brought

204
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: the case to the Hague. We're not talking about It

205
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's not happening, and so I will

206
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: be talking every day until election day because I am

207
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: not a representative of the DNC. I am a person

208
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: in this country that cares about our ability to continue

209
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: enjoying the freedoms and fighting for more for generations to come.

210
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: We friends, may not see the fruits of our labor,

211
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: which is why we have to depart ourselves from our

212
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: ego that says somehow I must reap the reward for

213
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: what I am fighting for. That is not what enslaved

214
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: people did. They were dreaming a dream that they were

215
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: never going to touch and feel. But it was because

216
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: of their perseverance, because of their strength, that we arrive

217
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: at this moment today. So what we are fighting for

218
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: is not about us. It's about future generations and what

219
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: they will have the opportunity to do, to be to dream.

220
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: So what side will you come down on? That's the

221
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: question that is it for me today, Dear friends, on
