Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to WOKF Daily with me
Speaker 1: your girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.
Speaker 1: Happy first, Wow is it really the first? I guess
Speaker 1: it's the first live fucking Friday that I'm doing of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and boy do I have so many
Speaker 1: things to say fuck it to and it's only twelve
Speaker 1: days in, but let me start out with this. So
Speaker 1: this week South Africa is presenting a case in front
Speaker 1: of the Hague laying out how Israel has broken international
Speaker 1: law and is committing genocide with their consistent and nonstose
Speaker 1: hummeling of Gaza, which has killed well over twenty thousand
Speaker 1: Palestinians in two months. And you would be hard pressed
Speaker 1: to find any fucking coverage in the United States of
Speaker 1: this really important case that is being brought by South
Speaker 1: Africa in front of the Hague because guess what, It's
Speaker 1: not being covered on any American news channel. It is
Speaker 1: only being covered by Al Jazeera English. Now. I have
Speaker 1: posted several clips to my stories on Instagram because I
Speaker 1: am only finding out the information via clipse of what
Speaker 1: is actually happening. And let me tell you something. You
Speaker 1: know that shit is fucking dirty when no American news
Speaker 1: cable news outlet is deciding to cover it, right, is
Speaker 1: making you believe that it doesn't exist, that it's not
Speaker 1: actually happening. That when the United States was pressed in
Speaker 1: recent press conference, they said, oh, there's nothing to see here,
Speaker 1: it's nothing but nonsense. I want to remind folks something
Speaker 1: that I saw recently too, that said, it was the
Speaker 1: United States and the UK that were among the last
Speaker 1: countries in the world to recognize apartheid that was happening
Speaker 1: in South Africa. So should it shock any of us that,
Speaker 1: as we are witnessing with our own fucking eyes what
Speaker 1: is transpiring in Gaza, that the United States would be
Speaker 1: having an entire blackout as it pertains to what South
Speaker 1: Africa is charging. So you know, you can find the
Speaker 1: story in the New York Times. Like I said, you
Speaker 1: can follow Al Jazeera America, you can follow put in
Speaker 1: the Hague, put in South Africa, and you will be
Speaker 1: able to get that information. It is just so fucking
Speaker 1: disgusting where the world is right now, right that you
Speaker 1: want to claim quote unquote fucking democracy and oh we
Speaker 1: got to uphold this, that and the other thing, and
Speaker 1: the key to democracy being an educated citizenship citizensree and
Speaker 1: in order for there to be an educated citizen injury,
Speaker 1: you would have to allow for information to break through.
Speaker 1: So you tell me the difference between how China and
Speaker 1: Russia block information and what the United States cable networks
Speaker 1: are doing. Now. The difference is that the Chinese government
Speaker 1: and the Russian government own the television networks, right, so
Speaker 1: it's state run TV. But when every single network is
Speaker 1: in cahoots with who they've decided is the enemy of
Speaker 1: the people and who is worth the coverage and who
Speaker 1: is not, are we really actually getting any semblance of
Speaker 1: truth from these outlets or again, are we all just
Speaker 1: living in some type of matrix Truman Show meshup. The
Speaker 1: difference between what is happening right now in Gaza and
Speaker 1: what happened in South Africa is that we didn't have
Speaker 1: the internet, we didn't have social media. So the only
Speaker 1: way that you were getting information again was relying on
Speaker 1: these major broadcast networks and cable news networks to tell
Speaker 1: you what was happening through their white supremact lens. And
Speaker 1: so now through the democratization of social media and the
Speaker 1: use of the Internet, folks, you don't need to wait
Speaker 1: for other people to tell you what is right and
Speaker 1: what is wrong. You can see with your own two eyes, right.
Speaker 1: I say this because the decisions that we have to
Speaker 1: make in the next ten months are so weighted and
Speaker 1: so fucking heavy and existential at that I can't pretend
Speaker 1: to you that I have faith, encouragement, and excitement about
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, because I would be lying to you,
Speaker 1: and I do not lie. What I will continue to
Speaker 1: say is that whatever situation we are finding ourselves in
Speaker 1: right now as a nation and as a globe, can,
Speaker 1: in fact, and will in fact, get a million times
Speaker 1: worse if Republicans regain power, because they will never let
Speaker 1: it go. And the shit that we are seeing happening
Speaker 1: in Idaho right with the Supreme Court allowing them to
Speaker 1: institute their total abortion ban regardless of if a woman
Speaker 1: are a pregnant person shows up in an emergency room
Speaker 1: and needs emergency care. Idaho says, let them die, and
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has just said that's okay with us.
Speaker 1: That will be nationalized right right now. Florida, following their guideline, says,
Speaker 1: just banned the Dictionary, the fucking dictionary from schools. What
Speaker 1: so that the complete curriculum wide out that is happening
Speaker 1: in not only K through twelve education, but in higher
Speaker 1: education in Florida will be nationalized. Texas has just turned
Speaker 1: down three hundred and fifty million dollars worth of federal
Speaker 1: LAID assistance that would allow the state to be able
Speaker 1: to feed hungry children over the summer when school is closed.
Speaker 1: Texas has turned down that aid, saying they don't have
Speaker 1: the resources or the ability to implement such a program.
Speaker 1: But do you know what they have the resources and
Speaker 1: the ability to do. Oh to prosecute and hunt down
Speaker 1: Kate Cox and other women that are looking for abortion care.
Speaker 1: Do you know what else they have the ability to do. Oh,
Speaker 1: turn their police department into a migrant hunting group. So
Speaker 1: they love themselves some fetuses, but hate the fucking kids.
Speaker 1: That's what their policies tell you. That will be nationalized.
Speaker 1: So everywhere that you see in states like Idaho, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Speaker 1: where you are seeing them institute abortion bands, get rid
Speaker 1: of d and I Diversity equity and inclusion programs, where
Speaker 1: they are firing presidents of universities. You know what happens
Speaker 1: in fascist and authoritarian regimes. You know, the first people
Speaker 1: to go the educated ones, the professors, the teachers, right
Speaker 1: the presidents of universities. Then you go after the rabble rousers,
Speaker 1: those that have the audacity to march, to speak out,
Speaker 1: to use their platforms. They start disappearing. Then little by
Speaker 1: little you look around and all of a sudden, there
Speaker 1: are no places to have intellectual debate or conversation. There
Speaker 1: are no longer any protests because you see that as
Speaker 1: a right that is stated in our constitution, and much
Speaker 1: like abortion and affirmative action and the right to vote,
Speaker 1: those rights to assemble will be taken away, to have
Speaker 1: the freedom of speech will be taken away. So I
Speaker 1: am not sitting here to tell you that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is the best president and the best person for the job.
Speaker 1: What I am saying is that is who the fuck
Speaker 1: we have. So if you like freedom, even if you
Speaker 1: are like me in this country and are just free ish,
Speaker 1: the only way that we continue to have the ability
Speaker 1: to try and perfect this very imperfect union, this very
Speaker 1: imperfect country, is if we have a president in office
Speaker 1: and in power that actually believes in the constitutions and
Speaker 1: the tenants of a democracy, aps in that you have
Speaker 1: Donald Trump having the ability to shoot protesters, because remember
Speaker 1: what Mark Milly's book, right, General Millie's book stated out
Speaker 1: very clearly, was that when Donald Trump wanted Lafayette Park
Speaker 1: cleared following protests so that he could go take a
Speaker 1: picture in front of a church he doesn't attend with
Speaker 1: a book that he doesn't read, aka the Bible, he said,
Speaker 1: can't we just shoot them in the leg or something.
Speaker 1: General Milly said, Uh no, that's against the law. Who
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be around or who
Speaker 1: would dare say to the new dictator in chief that
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to shoot protesters, that you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to weaponize the military and law enforcement against the people.
Speaker 1: There will be no one. There will be Tienemin Squares
Speaker 1: all across this country. And for those that don't remember,
Speaker 1: Tieneman Square is when Chinese students stood up to protest
Speaker 1: the Chinese government and they literally rolled tanks over those students.
Speaker 1: That little bit of Chinese history is not taught and
Speaker 1: the Chinese don't know about that. We know about it.
Speaker 1: Those parents of those students were not even allowed to grieve,
Speaker 1: They weren't even allowed to have funerals. And if they
Speaker 1: did so, they would find themselves behind bars. That is
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump and the modest supremacist Party want the
Speaker 1: ability to do in the United States. Those who are
Speaker 1: not pledging allegiance to Donald Trump and white supremacy will
Speaker 1: in fact be rolled over. So, folks, this is not
Speaker 1: really a hard fucking decision that we have to make
Speaker 1: in ten months. Do you want freedom or not? Do
Speaker 1: you want the ability to send your children to a
Speaker 1: robust public school or one that is trying to improve
Speaker 1: with each administration, or do you want the Republican Party
Speaker 1: to finish the job that Donald Trump started by gutting
Speaker 1: the public education budget, putting that into charter schools and
Speaker 1: real religious schools. Because what will happen is that for
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the country that attends public schools, for
Speaker 1: those that can afford private schools, oh well, go ahead,
Speaker 1: if it's within your family budget to afford, you know,
Speaker 1: an additional thirty forty fifty sixty thousand dollars a year,
Speaker 1: not just for four years, but for twelve plus. By
Speaker 1: all means, you have young kids, you want them to
Speaker 1: have the ability to dictate their life and their future. Well,
Speaker 1: you can't do that if you are pregnant at fifteen fourteen.
Speaker 1: What democracy provides is possibility, is a hopefulness, something to
Speaker 1: reach for, something too perfect. It isn't perfect. There is
Speaker 1: no one that is coming to save us. We no
Speaker 1: longer have the ability to have some type of political
Speaker 1: and cultural dissonance. Every four years. We see that the
Speaker 1: cost is too great, that the stakes are too fucking hot,
Speaker 1: that the misinformation campaigns aren't just about spreading lies, but
Speaker 1: they are about blacking out the truth. This country has
Speaker 1: reached a precipice. It's either we move forward with this
Speaker 1: American and Democratic project or MAGA supremists take over and
Speaker 1: we lose our voice, our vote, our bodily autonomy, and
Speaker 1: no place and no space in this country will be safe.
Speaker 1: There will be no next time. So as I sit
Speaker 1: here on this fucked Friday, I want people to be angry.
Speaker 1: I want people to call out this administration's hypocrisy. I
Speaker 1: want people to hold this administration's feet to the fire
Speaker 1: right and to disrupt speeches and events in March because
Speaker 1: we have the right to do that right now. We
Speaker 1: have the right and the responsibility as citizens of this
Speaker 1: country to question our leaders. That's what it means to
Speaker 1: live inside of a democracy, but you lose that right
Speaker 1: when you decide that you're not going to vote, or
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw your vote away with the third party,
Speaker 1: or just say oh I can't it doesn't align with
Speaker 1: my values. Well, does maga supremacy align with your values?
Speaker 1: Does white supremacy align with your values? Because that that's
Speaker 1: the alternative Some elections, dear friends, are just about hanging
Speaker 1: on and we have got to give this one ten
Speaker 1: months out every fucking thing that we got because we
Speaker 1: are not getting another chance. This is not a twenty
Speaker 1: twenty REDUS, as people are saying, we thought that when
Speaker 1: we got rid of Trump in twenty twenty that somehow
Speaker 1: we were gonna quote unquote go back to normal. Well,
Speaker 1: just like normal has not occurred following COVID, which a
Speaker 1: thousand people a week are still dying from and being
Speaker 1: hospitalized from. We just don't talk about it. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that it's not happening. Just like we're not talking
Speaker 1: about what is going on in Gaza and what the
Speaker 1: United States is funding and how South Africa has brought
Speaker 1: the case to the Hague. We're not talking about It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's not happening, and so I will
Speaker 1: be talking every day until election day because I am
Speaker 1: not a representative of the DNC. I am a person
Speaker 1: in this country that cares about our ability to continue
Speaker 1: enjoying the freedoms and fighting for more for generations to come.
Speaker 1: We friends, may not see the fruits of our labor,
Speaker 1: which is why we have to depart ourselves from our
Speaker 1: ego that says somehow I must reap the reward for
Speaker 1: what I am fighting for. That is not what enslaved
Speaker 1: people did. They were dreaming a dream that they were
Speaker 1: never going to touch and feel. But it was because
Speaker 1: of their perseverance, because of their strength, that we arrive
Speaker 1: at this moment today. So what we are fighting for
Speaker 1: is not about us. It's about future generations and what
Speaker 1: they will have the opportunity to do, to be to dream.
Speaker 1: So what side will you come down on? That's the
Speaker 1: question that is it for me today, Dear friends, on
Speaker 1: woke a f as always, Power to the people and
Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke
Speaker 1: as fuck. M
