Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Danny L. Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: this week is going to be a fuck it Friday,
Speaker 1: because let me tell you something that I have so
Speaker 1: much to get off of my chest so that I
Speaker 1: can go into the weekend feeling lighter. You know, we
Speaker 1: can go in feeling better, like, let's just get it
Speaker 1: all out now and then we can move on with
Speaker 1: our lives. But there is just so much to say
Speaker 1: fuck it to. I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 1: So let's start with the Republican Debate, if in fact
Speaker 1: you decided to stomach that in I'm starting to feel
Speaker 1: like people should start sending me gifts for having to
Speaker 1: ingest so much bullshit on your all's behalf. I'm joking,
Speaker 1: of course, but Jesus Christ right, like I deserve a medal.
Speaker 1: Start off with the Republican Debate, the second debate that
Speaker 1: took place at the Ronald Reagan Library. Every single one
Speaker 1: of the Republicans on that stage are assholes. Every single
Speaker 1: one of them is a bigot, every single one of
Speaker 1: them is a transphobe. Every single one of them is
Speaker 1: a xenophobe, right. And so for the mainstream media to
Speaker 1: continue to try and convince us that there is someone
Speaker 1: in this field who is quote unquote better than Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: what is their definition of better? Because every single one
Speaker 1: of these people embraces trump Ism, even if they don't
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump. They embrace xenophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, they
Speaker 1: embrace anti climate change policies. They are against voting right
Speaker 1: and people having access to the polls. They are against workers.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand how we sit here and do
Speaker 1: this bullshit horse racing kind of debate around who is
Speaker 1: the best of the worst, because that's what it is
Speaker 1: that we're doing. First of all, none of those people
Speaker 1: on that stage are serious candidates for president of the
Speaker 1: United States, Because in order to be a serious candidate
Speaker 1: for president of the United States, you have to be
Speaker 1: willing to knock down who is in first place, right like,
Speaker 1: you have to be willing and have the temerity and
Speaker 1: the tenacity to go after the number one spot. And
Speaker 1: so how do these people go on stage do the
Speaker 1: very least in trying to bring down Donald Trump? Literally,
Speaker 1: the man has just been named a fraud, which I'll
Speaker 1: get to in a moment. He's a fucking grifter. He
Speaker 1: has ninety one charges facing him, four indictments. Right, he's
Speaker 1: been labeled as sexual assaulter. We already know that he's
Speaker 1: a liar. He was named as that as well. Can't
Speaker 1: be trusted with fucking documents, can't be trusted with the
Speaker 1: national intelligence of this country. You have a fucking shorgus
Speaker 1: board of things to go after and attack about Donald
Speaker 1: Trump if in fact you are serious about being this
Speaker 1: country's next commander in chief. But exactly what Donald Trump
Speaker 1: said in his fraudulent ass appearance in Michigan where he
Speaker 1: got together with a group of non union workers, some
Speaker 1: of which were not even auto workers, holding up signs
Speaker 1: saying that they were because they were probably paid by
Speaker 1: the campaign. And that was aired out by the Detroit News.
Speaker 1: So thank you for your good journalism. But Donald Trump
Speaker 1: gets on that stage and says, these people don't look
Speaker 1: like they're running for president. They look like they're running
Speaker 1: for secretary of I don't know what, or to be
Speaker 1: my vice president. He asked the audience, do you see
Speaker 1: any vice presidential candidates in the bunch? I sure don't,
Speaker 1: And they laughed. That's what the rest of us think
Speaker 1: about this Republican field, including Donald Trump. Do I see
Speaker 1: a serious candidate for office in that bunch. No, I
Speaker 1: think that every single one of them are auditioning to
Speaker 1: be the next I don't know, Hannity, the next Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson on Fox News, because they seriously can't believe that
Speaker 1: they are equipped to run this country, right when they
Speaker 1: are not even equipped enough to tell the truth about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump being bad for the Republican Party. Aside from
Speaker 1: Chris who his direct to camera like trying to be
Speaker 1: the tough guy and take on Donald Trump was just
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, childish at best, but he
Speaker 1: is the only person that's actually willing to call a
Speaker 1: spade a spade. But he is not within a snowball
Speaker 1: chance in l of becoming president of the United States.
Speaker 1: So he's up just up there for what comic relief
Speaker 1: and the Donald duck Sir, please don't just don't because
Speaker 1: the joke fell flat and it was stupid right at best.
Speaker 1: Nikki Haley and her like, I mean, just visible disdain
Speaker 1: and disgust for the zk Ramaswami. You know the fact
Speaker 1: that she said that she feels dumber after every exchange. Well,
Speaker 1: I can say that wholeheartedly about the entirety of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. Anytime that one of those motherfuckers opened up
Speaker 1: their mouths, I'm I'm certain that all of our IQs drop,
Speaker 1: you know. So that's my first bucket is to you know,
Speaker 1: this Republican primary that we're all having to suffer through,
Speaker 1: knowing good goddamn well that even if Donald Trump manages
Speaker 1: to get convicted, tried and convicted and put in prison,
Speaker 1: the Republicans will still want him to run the country
Speaker 1: from a federal penitentiary because there is not another suitable
Speaker 1: person in the budge. And I would just argue there
Speaker 1: isn't a suitable Republican full stop period the Reagan days,
Speaker 1: which also he was a terrible president. Great for white
Speaker 1: America and great for the rich, but really fucking terrible
Speaker 1: for everybody else. I want to talk about Lauren Bobert
Speaker 1: now now that there are names that I would love
Speaker 1: to call Lauren Bobert, but I have class, so I'm
Speaker 1: not going to call them out on this show. You
Speaker 1: can imagine, you know, because I'm certain that you all
Speaker 1: feel the same way. This person decided to take to
Speaker 1: the House floor to misgender a member of the Biden cabinet,
Speaker 1: the highest ranking transperson to utilize her time to dish
Speaker 1: out some of the most hateful, transphobic, disgusting rhetoric I
Speaker 1: think that I have ever heard, And here is my fuck.
Speaker 1: It is that Lauren Bobert should have never been allowed
Speaker 1: to open up her fucking mouth on the house floor.
Speaker 1: One because of her disgusting, disgusting, fucking display at the
Speaker 1: Beetlejuice Uh performance right, like you have no class, no manners,
Speaker 1: no kouth, and you are not deserving of the title
Speaker 1: of congress person like you are disgusting. So that's number one.
Speaker 1: Number two, the moment that she misgendered a member of
Speaker 1: Biden's administration, her fucking mic should have been cut off.
Speaker 1: That kind of transphobic, hateful, and violent language has no
Speaker 1: business inside of our Congress. I don't give a fuck
Speaker 1: what these nasty motherfuckers say to each other, but they
Speaker 1: sure as hell shouldn't be given a microphone and the
Speaker 1: privilege of saying those things on the house floor and
Speaker 1: it being entered into the record. That was disgusting because,
Speaker 1: like I've said on my other shows, if if you
Speaker 1: were to take out the word trans and insert any
Speaker 1: other marginalized group Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanic folks, Asian people,
Speaker 1: anybody other than trans people, which apparently is totally acceptable
Speaker 1: to be mocking and bigoted towards. That's okay, right, Apparently
Speaker 1: with Americans it shouldn't be. Do you know the rate
Speaker 1: at which trans people are murdered in this country, particularly
Speaker 1: black trans women, It is like ten times something, staggering
Speaker 1: the rate of murder, homelessness, right, poverty. So you're just
Speaker 1: taking this group that only wants to live free in
Speaker 1: this democracy inside of their own bodies, making a mockery
Speaker 1: and a target of them on the house floor, and
Speaker 1: we think that that's acceptable. But if you or I
Speaker 1: were to ever do that with any other group, if
Speaker 1: it was a Jewish person, she would be labeled as
Speaker 1: an anti semi and probably kicked out of Congress if
Speaker 1: she were to talk about that about black people. Even
Speaker 1: though Marjorie Taylor Green, her other white trash fucking counterpart,
Speaker 1: went on the House floor dreaming right against the highest
Speaker 1: ranking black military official saying that they should be making
Speaker 1: one dollar right because the military is woke. I can
Speaker 1: think of no less woke entity than the United States military,
Speaker 1: these people, their level of disrespect. I am just folks.
Speaker 1: I wish, honestly, I wish that we lived in a
Speaker 1: society where people cared about each other, right, where people
Speaker 1: challenged themselves to be better, not where they were applauded
Speaker 1: for playing to the bottom. I long for the days
Speaker 1: where a Marshy Tailor Green and a Lauren Bobert would
Speaker 1: have been laughed out of any election. I long for
Speaker 1: the days where we had political correctness and decorum. And
Speaker 1: I'm not even a person that believes in respectability politics.
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, like the dress codes on the
Speaker 1: floor and in I could care less, right, because what
Speaker 1: I care about is how these people vote. What I
Speaker 1: care about is what they say, not what they put
Speaker 1: on their bodies, except for Christen Cinema and the fucking
Speaker 1: ugly accidentum ves, But I digress. What they say prompts
Speaker 1: the behavior of their followers, right. They send out their
Speaker 1: little signals we don't like this group, we don't like
Speaker 1: these people. Why do you think that hate crimes against
Speaker 1: trans people, against black people, against a people, against the
Speaker 1: Jewish community are on the rise. Every single marginalized group
Speaker 1: has seen double digit increases in violence against that community
Speaker 1: as the violent rhetoric has been escalated by our supposed
Speaker 1: elected officials and leaders. One plus one really does equal
Speaker 1: to regardless of whether or not you want to live
Speaker 1: on Earth one or someplace on Earth iree where those
Speaker 1: motherfuckers live. So the fact that we don't readily connect
Speaker 1: the dots and call these people out for inciting violence
Speaker 1: and using their platforms and their voices to do so
Speaker 1: is bullshit. When I heard Laura like, I was so
Speaker 1: fucking floored that she was able to get make it
Speaker 1: through that entire speech, No one, the person that was
Speaker 1: sitting and presiding over the House did not stop her
Speaker 1: and say we do not condone that type of hateful
Speaker 1: rhetoric on the House floor. If you have real policy
Speaker 1: and real business and real issue to bring by all
Speaker 1: means just to open up the mic to attack a
Speaker 1: transmember of the Biden administration, no, should have never been
Speaker 1: fucking allowed. But that again just goes to show you
Speaker 1: what we think about trans people in this country, goes
Speaker 1: to show you why people like Ron de Santis are
Speaker 1: able to pass hateful legislation against folks because people are like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know a transproved person and I think that
Speaker 1: they're weird, right, and they're allowed to say and do that.
Speaker 1: Oh it makes me uncomfortable. I can think of no
Speaker 1: group braver. Honestly, they trans people that live on purpose
Speaker 1: out loud when it would be so much easier for
Speaker 1: them not to and know it wouldn't because you think
Speaker 1: about how easy it would be to swallow the truth
Speaker 1: of who you are every fucking day. It's why people
Speaker 1: kill themselves. I just you know, it's so gross where
Speaker 1: we are. You know, it's so gross. And that's why
Speaker 1: I tell you all that it is so important to
Speaker 1: take some space and time and create some distance between
Speaker 1: you and what these people are trying to do, which
Speaker 1: is make us believe that everyone is as full as
Speaker 1: hate and despair and disgust as they are, and I
Speaker 1: know that that is not the truth. I want to
Speaker 1: end today with a little, you know, with a little
Speaker 1: feel good Friday, because I do recognize it is important
Speaker 1: to insert that at the end of the week. I
Speaker 1: had the great opportunity to do a storytelling workshop for
Speaker 1: trade unionists in Minnesota a week or so ago. And
Speaker 1: I've been to Minnesota before, probably just once before. And
Speaker 1: you know, as somebody from the East Coast, who's lived,
Speaker 1: you know, in Washington, d C. Has lived in New York,
Speaker 1: has lived in Virginia. You have certain ideas about the Midwest, right,
Speaker 1: based on nothing other than what the media tells us
Speaker 1: about the Midwest. And me thinking, you know, as a
Speaker 1: black queer woman going to these places and having an
Speaker 1: idea about how these people, how people are and what
Speaker 1: have you. I cannot express enough how pleasantly surprised like
Speaker 1: I was, and just a reminder of my own geographic bigotry,
Speaker 1: right in terms of believing that because certain areas have
Speaker 1: turned red, that that means that everyone in that state
Speaker 1: is a bigot is not true? And I know that
Speaker 1: it's like you think, yeah, of course, Daniel da right,
Speaker 1: But no, because the way that these areas have been
Speaker 1: painted by the media by political parties would have you
Speaker 1: believe that we're not just all out here trying to
Speaker 1: do the best that we can. Right, listening to these
Speaker 1: trade unionists, from cafeteria workers to janital janitors, to teachers'
Speaker 1: aides and what have you, just people doing the best
Speaker 1: that they can to provide for themselves and their family
Speaker 1: and just wanting to have a living wage, wanting to
Speaker 1: be of service, even if that service isn't highly paid,
Speaker 1: but the payment is in just feeling good about the
Speaker 1: work that you do every day and just wanting to
Speaker 1: have some dignity attached to that, and being out in
Speaker 1: the field actually talking to real people. Right. And when
Speaker 1: I say real people, I don't mean like the real Americans.
Speaker 1: I just mean moving away from listening to talking heads
Speaker 1: all the time, moving away from listening to the nasty,
Speaker 1: disgusting rhetoric coming out of Republicans' mouths, and actually talking
Speaker 1: to real people, you know, with lives and kids and
Speaker 1: families and jobs and hopes and dreams. And it was
Speaker 1: such a beautiful reminder of like what I try and
Speaker 1: fight for. Why I am talking is because everyone should
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to be able to live the life
Speaker 1: that they want to go to work and feel seen
Speaker 1: and feel heard and feel valued. That's why people are
Speaker 1: on strike. It's not that folks hate the rich. Good
Speaker 1: for fucking you, But when your enormous wealth comes off
Speaker 1: of the sweat and tears and sacrifice of the working class,
Speaker 1: and you in return provide them not even with a
Speaker 1: living wage and benefits so that they can keep working,
Speaker 1: to make you wealthy because your greed has just gotten
Speaker 1: has just taken over. It's ridiculous to me. And so
Speaker 1: it was just such a wonderful reminder to be in
Speaker 1: this state and interact with so many beautiful spirits doing
Speaker 1: like literal God's work in all honesty, and you know,
Speaker 1: like looking at their jobs as more than just jobs,
Speaker 1: but they are literally what makes communities run. Right. These
Speaker 1: are the people that do the work that when they're
Speaker 1: do it and they do it well, nobody notices. But
Speaker 1: when something isn't picked up or done or fixed, then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it throws a wrench in everything else.
Speaker 1: These people are essential, not just because we say you
Speaker 1: go to work when we get to stay home, but
Speaker 1: because they are essential to making our communities run, to
Speaker 1: making them better, to making them beautiful. Right. So it's
Speaker 1: just a reminder that sometimes pull yourself away from cable news,
Speaker 1: from the headlines and see what's going on next door,
Speaker 1: across the street. Connect with your neighbors, right, not just
Speaker 1: the ones that you like, but introduce yourselves to the
Speaker 1: ones you don't know. Because the idea is for us
Speaker 1: to really connect in real life so that we are
Speaker 1: not led astray by the life that are told to
Speaker 1: us about the people that live down the street. The
Speaker 1: only way that they get away with those lies is
Speaker 1: when we get locked into our own fear and our
Speaker 1: own bigotry. That's how they win. The more that we
Speaker 1: decide to break down the doors in between ourselves and
Speaker 1: other people and other groups, the less likely their tactics
Speaker 1: are to work. So that is my reminder for this week.
Speaker 1: That is it for me, dear friends on Woke af

Speaker 1: Patreon site, do comment under the video below and let
