Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: it is Woke Wednesday, and I'm gonna start trying something
Speaker 1: new with Woke Wednesdays, which is giving a rundown of
Speaker 1: three stories that I am paying attention to and think
Speaker 1: that you need to get woke to. I've been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of freewheeling in terms of like my feelings
Speaker 1: and thoughts, but there are so many news stories and
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we touch upon them
Speaker 1: on WOKF and so on Wednesdays moving forward, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do my best to tackle three stories that I think
Speaker 1: are really important, and then again on fuck It Fridays,
Speaker 1: we will be giving you a rundown of the top
Speaker 1: stories of the week and doing our best again to
Speaker 1: give you the most thorough rundown of what you may
Speaker 1: be missing in mainstream media but can get here all
Speaker 1: the time. So let's get into it on this Woke Wednesday.
Speaker 1: So I want to start off with probably one of
Speaker 1: the most disturbing stories circulating right now, and disturbing for
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. So Aaron Bushnell, who is the
Speaker 1: twenty five year old Air Force service member who self
Speaker 1: immolated on Sunday in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. This story is so difficult for so many reasons. One,
Speaker 1: you know, according to you know friend Outlets, self immolation
Speaker 1: became a form of protest around the time of the
Speaker 1: Vietnam War. And you know, the Vietnam War was a
Speaker 1: time obviously I was not alive, right, but what I
Speaker 1: have read and understood was a really you know, friction filled,
Speaker 1: angry time in the United States where tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of Americans were losing their lives in a war that
Speaker 1: was not going to be winnable, and nor did people
Speaker 1: really understand the reason for the war. Fast forward now
Speaker 1: to where we are with the war that Israel is
Speaker 1: waging against Gaza, and at the start, right on October seventh,
Speaker 1: Hamas and No owned terrorist organization kills and takes a hostage,
Speaker 1: you know, hundreds of people and kills you know, a
Speaker 1: thousand plus people, including women and children. This is a
Speaker 1: horrific act. No one is denying that that is a
Speaker 1: horrific act. Right. What we've come to understand since that
Speaker 1: time is that Netan Yahoo failed. He failed those people,
Speaker 1: He failed that country because there were warnings much in
Speaker 1: the same way that there were warnings ahead of nine
Speaker 1: to eleven that George Bush and his team decided to ignore.
Speaker 1: There were warnings that this attempt was going to happen.
Speaker 1: And even so, there was an officer of the Israeli
Speaker 1: Defense who said, I think that they're actually practicing right
Speaker 1: now the thing that we are again getting alerts about, like,
Speaker 1: I think that they're in full practice mode. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to venture into conspiracy theories that are currently unproven,
Speaker 1: but let's just say that net Yahoo waging war was
Speaker 1: absolutely going to secure his power for the time being,
Speaker 1: that he needed this war in order to stay right
Speaker 1: in power in Israel. Now, what we have watched play
Speaker 1: out since October seventh are the deaths, the murders of
Speaker 1: over thirty thousand civilians, thirty thousand plus half of which
Speaker 1: are children. Now, we have all watched as Netan Yahoo
Speaker 1: and his cabinet engage in some of the most extreme
Speaker 1: and violent rhetoric of genocide that we've heard in modern times. Now,
Speaker 1: if that rhetoric was coming out of the mouth of
Speaker 1: say Oh, I don't know. Vladimir putin apparently to the
Speaker 1: United States, it would be very clear who the enemy was,
Speaker 1: because that's how they've painted Russia. But somehow, when you
Speaker 1: engage in homicidal, extremist and genocidal rhetoric, but you are
Speaker 1: somehow a quote unquote friend of the United States and
Speaker 1: quote unquote the only democracy in the Middle East, you
Speaker 1: continue to get a fucking pass. South Africa brought charges
Speaker 1: to the Hague against Israel. The Hague then comes back
Speaker 1: and says, ah, while they are engaging in things that
Speaker 1: are considered to be a humanitarian crisis and war crimes,
Speaker 1: but we're not going to call for them to stop
Speaker 1: their war and massacre and bulldozing of an entire community
Speaker 1: of people. So let's turn now to Aaron Bushnell, who,
Speaker 1: before he lit himself on fire, sent messages to several,
Speaker 1: according to The Intelligencer, several left leaning media outlets, saying
Speaker 1: that he was going to indeed engage in what would
Speaker 1: be seen as an extreme act of protest. He live
Speaker 1: streamed essentially his death, where with a bottle of flammable liquid,
Speaker 1: he poured it on himself and he said on his
Speaker 1: live stream, I will no longer be complicit in genocide.
Speaker 1: I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,
Speaker 1: but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine
Speaker 1: at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme
Speaker 1: at all. This is what our ruling class has decided
Speaker 1: will be normal. Now. The reason that I wanted to
Speaker 1: cover this story today is because I saw tweets by
Speaker 1: CBS and others when this news broke that said US
Speaker 1: Air Force serviceman lights himself on fire in front of
Speaker 1: Israeli embassy. That was the end of the title. In
Speaker 1: the beginning. There was no mention of exactly why he
Speaker 1: did that. There was no mention of free Palestine, there
Speaker 1: was no mention in the fact that he didn't want
Speaker 1: to be complicit in genocide. They completely blacked it out,
Speaker 1: just didn't cover it because they wanted mainstream media for
Speaker 1: folks to think that once again isolated event he has
Speaker 1: mental illness. Now the stories have unfolded that well, he
Speaker 1: was an anarchist, and you know he came from a
Speaker 1: really rigid Christian programming, and essentially what they are trying
Speaker 1: to do is discredit and assassinate this man's character. Do
Speaker 1: you understand, like, because I don't, right and I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I can't imagine lighting myself on fire.
Speaker 1: But there have been people over the course of this
Speaker 1: year in the United States that have done it. He
Speaker 1: is not the first, He's not even the second. He
Speaker 1: is the third over the last several months. What do
Speaker 1: they all have in common? Their reason for self immolation
Speaker 1: Israel's war against Gaza. The media isn't covering that, though,
Speaker 1: not without pressure from social media. That's like, why am
Speaker 1: I seeing one thing on x or on Instagram, blue
Speaker 1: Sky or what have you, but I'm seeing something entirely
Speaker 1: different on cable news. This is how to me the
Speaker 1: media begins to lose credibility. Also missing from the story
Speaker 1: of Aaron Bushnell was the fact that he was allowed
Speaker 1: to burn for sixty seconds because in the initial response
Speaker 1: that officers had they drew their guns. Is on fire,
Speaker 1: So what the fuck was a bullet gonna do. You're
Speaker 1: holding up a gun and telling a man to get
Speaker 1: on the ground. Clearly he is not afraid of death.
Speaker 1: And also, if you were trying to come to his aid,
Speaker 1: pulling your gun wasn't going to be it. Somehow the
Speaker 1: news stories missed that too. All I have to say
Speaker 1: with regard to Aaron Bush. Now is pay attention to
Speaker 1: the sources that you were getting your information from and
Speaker 1: comparing contrast, because you we are not getting the whole
Speaker 1: fucking truth. Next step story number two on my list
Speaker 1: headline Fannie Willis and Clarence Thomas. So, as of the
Speaker 1: time of this recording, there was an emergency session that
Speaker 1: was held by Judge McAfee in the case of removal
Speaker 1: of Fannie Willis from the Rico trial of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Why is that happening because apparently she had a relationship
Speaker 1: with the head prosecutor in the Trump case for some time,
Speaker 1: and now the Trump team is using this as a
Speaker 1: way to remove her. So let me start out by
Speaker 1: saying that do I wish that Fannie Willis had been
Speaker 1: above reproach? Do all black people that are in positions
Speaker 1: of power need to be above reproach because white people
Speaker 1: will look for any fucking thing in order to get
Speaker 1: that black person in power removed. Yes, we know this.
Speaker 1: If you remember from the Great Show Scandal where Papa
Speaker 1: Pope looked at Olivia and said, what have I always
Speaker 1: told you? You need to be twice as good to
Speaker 1: get half as much? Right, every black person that was
Speaker 1: watching that show at that time has been told that
Speaker 1: very fucking thing by their family. Right, So am I
Speaker 1: absolutely disgusted? Sure? Right? But let me also flip it here.
Speaker 1: Do I give a fuck who Fannie Willis was in
Speaker 1: a relationship? Absolutely not, because her relationship doesn't have any
Speaker 1: bearing on my fucking life or the case for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But do you know who's wrongdoing? Actually does? Fucking Clarence Thomas,
Speaker 1: who we know has been on the take from Harlan Crow,
Speaker 1: a right wing billionaire for at least twenty some odd years,
Speaker 1: private schools paid for Holmes, paid for trips, paid for.
Speaker 1: This is the man who, also, by the way, his
Speaker 1: fucking wife was paying for and backing to stop the
Speaker 1: steal movement, and post January sixth was calling around using
Speaker 1: her fucking clout as the wife of a Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice in order to try and overturn the results of
Speaker 1: a free and fair election. Did Clarence Thomas recuse himself?
Speaker 1: Had Clarence Thomas sat before a panel of judges to
Speaker 1: explain the millions of dollars that he has taken from
Speaker 1: Harlan Crow? Has he explained why he didn't recuse himself
Speaker 1: from the January sixth cases because he has directed involvement
Speaker 1: because of his fucking wife. No, and you see, Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas is bought and sold. Clarence Thomas is the reason
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we don't have Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 1: we don't have affirmative action because he's being paid for
Speaker 1: his decisions on those cases. And all we get from
Speaker 1: Chief Justice John Roberts is maybe we'll look into it. Oh, here,
Speaker 1: we'll police ourselves and put out some type of new
Speaker 1: ethics rulings. Are you fucking kidding me? But I am
Speaker 1: to give a fuck about who Fannie Willis is sleeping with.
Speaker 1: This is when I say to you, dear listeners and viewers,
Speaker 1: my patreon folks that are watching this video, I am
Speaker 1: just fucking beside myself with the amount of injustice, hypocrisy
Speaker 1: and bullshit that we are watching and hearing and reading
Speaker 1: and consuming on a regular basis. Where the false equivalency
Speaker 1: is being made, but where we actually need to be
Speaker 1: having and paying attention is at the fact that our
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is bought and sold by billionaires who want
Speaker 1: to roll back the clock on equity and inclusion, women's rights,
Speaker 1: bodily autonomy so that they can stay in control of
Speaker 1: this country. That they want to erase your voice and
Speaker 1: your vote and your power. But instead of us sitting
Speaker 1: down and taking the fucking Supreme Court to task, we're
Speaker 1: having conversations about who Fannie Willis had dinner with and
Speaker 1: whether or not she paid. These two things are not
Speaker 1: the fucking same and it's the false equivalency that is
Speaker 1: made that drives me fucking crazy. So have I been
Speaker 1: paying attention to the I don't give a fuck because
Speaker 1: I already know how it ends. She will be removed
Speaker 1: score for Donald Trump. That case will dissolve the two
Speaker 1: year case that she had been building. Donald Trump won't
Speaker 1: be held accountable, and they'll get to run on the
Speaker 1: line that look at how corrupt democrats are. I already
Speaker 1: know the ending. Do I believe that she should have
Speaker 1: been better aps of fucking lutely? But do I believe
Speaker 1: that that is enough to remove her from this case
Speaker 1: apps A fucking lutely not. But it doesn't matter, because
Speaker 1: she is a black woman that had the audacity to
Speaker 1: go after one of the most powerful and wealthy white
Speaker 1: men in this country, and for that she will pay
Speaker 1: a penalty, and the rest of us will pay a
Speaker 1: penalty because Donald Trump is the biggest threat to our
Speaker 1: democracy that we've ever seen. And we all know that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump should be in jail, and we fucking know that.
Speaker 1: And the fact that a man who was found guilty
Speaker 1: of rape is a viable fifty to fifty percent chance
Speaker 1: a viable candidate, and a fifty to fifty percent chance
Speaker 1: still of becoming president again shows me how fucking corrupt
Speaker 1: our government and our systems are and who they are
Speaker 1: stacked in favor of. It's outrageous, but I would be
Speaker 1: remiss because no one else is making the comparisons between
Speaker 1: where we are with holding Clarence Thomas accountable, which is nowhere,
Speaker 1: and holding Fani willis accountable. Ugh. So let me close
Speaker 1: out this woke Wednesday with my final story, which is
Speaker 1: the IVF misstep that Republicans are making right now. So
Speaker 1: Republicans are dumb, right, and we know this that their
Speaker 1: desire to turn America into the live version of the
Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tale is putting them in a really precarious position
Speaker 1: during an election year where they are trying to have
Speaker 1: their cake and eat it too. You see, they want
Speaker 1: to both champion the ban on abortion, and they want
Speaker 1: to champion the ways in which that they are turning
Speaker 1: women and people with uteruses into criminals. And then when
Speaker 1: Alabama comes out and says, oh, it is not just
Speaker 1: about terminating pregnancies, We're going to tell you how to
Speaker 1: have pregnancies, and that rapists. Shout out to Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: and his recent ads that rapists are more likely to
Speaker 1: be able to have their child than parents who are
Speaker 1: paying tens of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to
Speaker 1: bring a life that they want into the world, and Alabama,
Speaker 1: quoting the Bible in their decision, has said no. So
Speaker 1: now when Republicans are asked about their positions on IVF,
Speaker 1: they don't know which way to go because it is
Speaker 1: so unfavorable that they don't know whether to go full
Speaker 1: steam ahead or you know, back off just a little
Speaker 1: bit at least in terms of their messaging and their
Speaker 1: narrative until after November. In the meantime, though, one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five Republicans in the House have signed on
Speaker 1: to legislation that would allow for a national abortion ban
Speaker 1: and also a national ban on IVF. So all of
Speaker 1: these little test cases that we are seeing play out
Speaker 1: in states like Oklahoma and Alabama with the goal, by
Speaker 1: the way, the strategy of bringing this all the way
Speaker 1: up to the Supreme Court. They're favorable and bought and
Speaker 1: sold Supreme Court. They're already telling you what they will
Speaker 1: do if any Republican ever steps foot in the White
Speaker 1: House again. Women won't have rights in this country. People
Speaker 1: with uterses will not have rights in this country. A
Speaker 1: collection of cells and a gun will have more rights
Speaker 1: than they do. And just in case folks are confused
Speaker 1: about IVF and a collection of cells being a life.
Speaker 1: You can't put a baby in the freezer and have
Speaker 1: it survive, why because they are actual humans. You can, however,
Speaker 1: freeze the collection of cells and defrost them just saying science.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just a word. Let's all take
Speaker 1: a breath. We will continue to get through this, dear friends,
Speaker 1: and we will do so together. That is it for
Speaker 1: me today onf on this refreshed Woke Wednesday, and my
Speaker 1: friends who are watching this video on Patreon, let me
Speaker 1: know in the comment section what you think of the
Speaker 1: top three stories and what would you have added to
Speaker 1: the list. As always, my friends, power to the people
Speaker 1: and to all the people, power, get woke, and stay
Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
