Speaker 1: Good morning peeps in Welcome to Wika f Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody once again recording from the
Speaker 1: home Bunker. Folks, you know, I know that the news
Speaker 1: has beaten this story to death, but I can't help
Speaker 1: but discuss it on here. Over the holiday weekend, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump found himself dining with a known white supremist, white nationalist,
Speaker 1: anti Semite named Nick Fuentes, along with Kanye West, and
Speaker 1: the media spin out from this over the last couple
Speaker 1: of days has allowed us once again to believe that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is both a genius businessman can do no wrong,
Speaker 1: and yet a bumbling fucking idiot and doesn't know who
Speaker 1: is coming to his home in Mara Lago because Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: when brought the evidence to his face, who Nick Fentes is,
Speaker 1: what he stands for, what he has said, what events
Speaker 1: he has spoken at, Donald Trump is, oh, well, he
Speaker 1: was nice to me, so I guess it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: that he's not so nice to black people, or Jewish people,
Speaker 1: or Muslim people or women at that right, because he's
Speaker 1: also one of those fucking in cell misogynist like bullshit
Speaker 1: guys that Donald Trump loves to pal around with, like
Speaker 1: an Elon Musk I digress. But Donald Trump is been
Speaker 1: able to say, and the media has said, well, he
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was dining with. Well, there are
Speaker 1: a couple of things that are wrong with that sentiment.
Speaker 1: Number one, you can't both have people believe that you
Speaker 1: were a genius and also a fucking idiot, right, because
Speaker 1: this has been the normal pattern with Donald Trump. Oh
Speaker 1: he doesn't know any better. Oh he had no idea.
Speaker 1: Oh he minced up his words. Oh he didn't mean
Speaker 1: to say that. Let me remind you that the man
Speaker 1: is seventy fucking something years old. Okay, he is not
Speaker 1: an adolescent. He is not a toddler. He's not a
Speaker 1: fucking child. So this perpetual, like you know, naivete that
Speaker 1: we want to have around who Donald Trump is and
Speaker 1: what he should know. The man was the former president
Speaker 1: of the United States. Let's stop treating this motherfucker with
Speaker 1: kid gloves. Let's stop giving Donald Trump the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt, which he ran out of fucking years ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: when he came down the escalator calling Mexicans rapists and murderers,
Speaker 1: right when he said that he could grab a woman
Speaker 1: by the pussy because he's a star, and when they're
Speaker 1: a star, they'll let you do it. A man who
Speaker 1: has multiple sexual assault cases that have been brought against him.
Speaker 1: So can we stop playing this bullshit game in the
Speaker 1: media of Oh, because I don't say that I'm a
Speaker 1: racist out loud, then that means that I'm not a racist,
Speaker 1: Or we can all pretend that we don't know what
Speaker 1: is in Donald Trump's heart, or the fact that the
Speaker 1: Republican Party who has been silent on his dinner companions,
Speaker 1: and the fact that this entire fucking party is associated
Speaker 1: with white nationalists because they don't say it outright, and
Speaker 1: even when they do, the media still treats it up
Speaker 1: as like, oh, well, maybe she means that, maybe he
Speaker 1: means it, Maybe they don't. Marshary Taylor Green has spoken
Speaker 1: at events with Nick Fuentes, has gone to talk about
Speaker 1: white nationalism white Christianity. Paul Gossar has also spoken at
Speaker 1: events with Nick Fuentes, has talked about white nationalism. If
Speaker 1: it walks like a duck and talks like a racist duck,
Speaker 1: it's a fucking racist duck. So can we stop playing
Speaker 1: these stupid, fucking games where we pretend that we don't
Speaker 1: know what Donald Trump is doing that we don't know
Speaker 1: that he's a white supremaist. The man referred to African
Speaker 1: nations as shiitthhole countries. The man referred to COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: as the Kung flu. The man referred to undocumented people
Speaker 1: as aliens and put chill in cages. Said why can't
Speaker 1: we bring in people from you know, those good Norwegian
Speaker 1: countries like Finland or something like that. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: a white supremacist. Finally, Ben Rhodes, an MSNBC contributor, finally
Speaker 1: said it on cable news. It was the first time
Speaker 1: that I've heard it said on cable news by another
Speaker 1: white man, who is just like, can we stop pretending here?
Speaker 1: So I would like to go even a step further.
Speaker 1: Can we stop allowing the Republican Party to continue to
Speaker 1: operate like this a normal political party when we know
Speaker 1: in fact that it is a well funded, well organized
Speaker 1: political hate group. That's what it is. The reason why
Speaker 1: Republicans are not condemning the dinner with Nick Fuente's is
Speaker 1: because many of them believe the same fucking shit. They
Speaker 1: know that this is who their base is. So if
Speaker 1: your base is a bunch of white supremacist supporters. What
Speaker 1: the fuck does that make you? So? My feeling here, folks,
Speaker 1: is that it's intellectually dishonest for us to keep playing
Speaker 1: this double Dutch game, back and forth, back and forth
Speaker 1: about whether or not Donald Trump is a racist. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has told you himself that he is. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has surrounded himself with people who believe in the replacement theory,
Speaker 1: people who discuss it. So what do they say? The
Speaker 1: old saying goes that if you lay down with dogs,
Speaker 1: you gonna get up with fleas. This is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: This is the Republican Party. You know. When Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen referred to Donald Trump's supporters as
Speaker 1: a basket of deplorables, she didn't go further enough. She
Speaker 1: didn't go far enough, because they're not just deplorable, they're
Speaker 1: fucking vile. Marjorie Taylor Green, Paul Goes or Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: These people do not deserve to have political titles. They
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be a part of our government. Like,
Speaker 1: where the fuck do we draw the line? Is there
Speaker 1: no line for us to draw? I thought that it
Speaker 1: was very clear right that anti semitism bad, racism, bad,
Speaker 1: misogyny bad, homophobia, transphobia, bad, bad. I like, it is
Speaker 1: so utterly frustrating to watch reporters contort themselves so as
Speaker 1: not to offend the most vile people and their vile
Speaker 1: ass supporters. Oh, I don't know if we can call
Speaker 1: Donald Trump at white supremacist. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: person that gunned down although those black people in the
Speaker 1: store is a white supremacist unless they leave a manifesto,
Speaker 1: unless they write it up, unless it says so that
Speaker 1: I am proudly racist on my social media. I guess
Speaker 1: we're just going to be left with wondering. No, folks,
Speaker 1: it's really fucking clear. What isn't clear to me is
Speaker 1: the decision to tap dance around these issues. What isn't
Speaker 1: clear to me is what is the media actually get.
Speaker 1: What do they get from pretending? You know, the Republicans
Speaker 1: are getting ready to take over the House in January
Speaker 1: when they come back for their news session, and it
Speaker 1: is not clear whether or not Kevin McCarthy is going
Speaker 1: to get the gavel back because there are many members
Speaker 1: who are saying that they're not voting for him, and
Speaker 1: you know, not like there is any one of them
Speaker 1: that is actually better because They're all a bunch of
Speaker 1: spineless ass kissing white nationalists, right, Like, that's who the
Speaker 1: Republican Party is. It's fascinating to me though, that we're
Speaker 1: gonna go back. Republicans are going to take over the House.
Speaker 1: The news is going to cover their bullshit hearings as
Speaker 1: if there are some type of merit that is there.
Speaker 1: Let's do a series of investigations into Hunter Biden and
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop, or as Ted who said on his
Speaker 1: own podcast the other day, oh no, we need to
Speaker 1: not go after Hunter Biden because Joe Biden is the godfather.
Speaker 1: What the fuck are you talking about, Ted Cruz, Like,
Speaker 1: in all honesty, you allowed a man who called your
Speaker 1: wife ugly, who disrespected you, disrespected your family, to continue
Speaker 1: to do so so that you could have some type
Speaker 1: of power. You kissed the ring of a known criminal.
Speaker 1: How many fucking lawsuits does Donald Trump have against him
Speaker 1: right now, from everything from fucking tax evasion to you know,
Speaker 1: trying to pressure a secretary of State to you know,
Speaker 1: find him eleven seven hundred and some odd votes. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm tired of the lawsuits, and what I want are
Speaker 1: the indictments. What I want are the fucking charges to stick.
Speaker 1: But how Ted Cruz finds it within himself to say
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden a man that has given himself to
Speaker 1: public service for his entire life, who has done nothing
Speaker 1: but good, like with his own life. Like, yeah, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has presided over legislation that we know was fucked
Speaker 1: up and has tried to make amends for those things
Speaker 1: like the fucking crime bill, right like his you know,
Speaker 1: attacks on Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas's hearing, like all
Speaker 1: of those things. We know that Joe Biden is not perfect.
Speaker 1: But what we know for a fact is that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is not a fucking criminal like the one that
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz fucking capes for that. The whole Republican Party
Speaker 1: capes for knowing that Donald Trump is a criminal because
Speaker 1: they all benefit from it. And what I am tired
Speaker 1: of is the media giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: Oh do you When Donald Trump was asked on stage,
Speaker 1: do you denounce the proud boys the oath keepers? No,
Speaker 1: he told them to stand back and stand by and
Speaker 1: then weaponize the crowd filled with those proud boys and
Speaker 1: oath keepers to go attack the Capitol Building. But We're
Speaker 1: still waiting around for Merrick Garland to decide that he's
Speaker 1: going to have a special counsel to take more time
Speaker 1: to run out the clock, do you know, come up
Speaker 1: with nothing? Another nothing burger like the Muller report ended
Speaker 1: up being What pisces me off is when people say like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz knows better, does he? Because when people continue
Speaker 1: to act against the interests of this country, right, when
Speaker 1: people continue to support and uphold people who support an
Speaker 1: uphold white nationalists, how difficult is it to just connect
Speaker 1: the fucking dots. I'm confused, I really am, so you had.
Speaker 1: Senator Bill Cassidy tweeted yesterday President Trump hosting racist anti
Speaker 1: semites for dinner encourages other racist anti semites. These attitudes
Speaker 1: are immoral and should not be entertained. This is not
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. And my quote we treat said this.
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, your base is filled with Nazis, white nationalists, racists,
Speaker 1: anti semites, and more. This is the Republican Party. Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green has spoken at events with Nick Fuente's and
Speaker 1: she is McCarthy's right hand. This is who you all
Speaker 1: love and lift up. They don't denounce anything that Trump does.
Speaker 1: And what people fail to realize, what they fail to realize,
Speaker 1: is that their silence is their alignment, right Like, the
Speaker 1: Republicans are not being held hostage by Donald Trump. They
Speaker 1: are willing accomplices. They are aligned with Trumpism. And Trumpism
Speaker 1: includes anti semitism, it includes racism, it includes hate in
Speaker 1: all its forms. Oh, it's you know, it's fine to
Speaker 1: be a homophobe. I guess if you're the governor of
Speaker 1: a state like Greg Abbott or Ronda Santis, and you
Speaker 1: can pass legislation that bars gay people from you know,
Speaker 1: living full and complete lives, that's okay, so long as
Speaker 1: you throw up Christianity in front of it, right, Like,
Speaker 1: those are things that are still acceptable that we accept
Speaker 1: as normal legislation. To me, there is no distinction between
Speaker 1: the racists and the anti semites and the homophobes and
Speaker 1: the transpols. They are the same fucking people. What I
Speaker 1: would love, What I would love is for everybody that
Speaker 1: gets on television to take a page out of Ben
Speaker 1: Rhodes's book just say the fucking truth. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: a white nationalist. Donald Trump is the leader of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. The Republican Party is a white nationalist party.
Speaker 1: That's it, end of story, and cover them as such.
Speaker 1: That's it. You don't need people to say to you
Speaker 1: I am a racist. You watch what they do, you
Speaker 1: watch what they say, you watch who they hang with.
Speaker 1: So in every single one of those aspects, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party has shown us who they are.
Speaker 1: Believe them. Coming up next, friends, very excited that there
Speaker 1: are a couple of episodes coming up this week where
Speaker 1: I have the opportunity to sit down with young people
Speaker 1: who are still in high school, young queer kids who
Speaker 1: had the ability to attend the It Gets Better Youth conference,
Speaker 1: meet other queer kids in person, and actually hear about
Speaker 1: what is on their minds, what concerns them, because you see,
Speaker 1: what we do is that as a society, we talk
Speaker 1: at kids, and we talk about kids, but we don't
Speaker 1: really talk to kids, particularly queer ones, particularly those that
Speaker 1: are marginalized. We use them as political foot balls, but
Speaker 1: we don't actually know how it's affecting their day to day.
Speaker 1: So in today's interview, I interview a young person by
Speaker 1: the name of Chloe who is a non binary artist,
Speaker 1: and I will talk to them about what it's like
Speaker 1: to be out and queer as a young person, what
Speaker 1: they think about how LGBTQ people are being treated, and
Speaker 1: what are some of the biggest misconceptions that we have.
Speaker 1: That conversation with Chloe is coming up next, Folks. I
Speaker 1: am very excited to be joined on this episode of
Speaker 1: Will Gay by a couple of youth queer advocates who
Speaker 1: participated in the It Gets Better campaign's Youth Summit, and
Speaker 1: today I'm joined by Chloe, who is a non binary
Speaker 1: artists who likes to express their creativity with different mediums
Speaker 1: such as drawing, writing, and painting, and they enjoy writing
Speaker 1: articles and drawing different things that they find interesting. Chloe,
Speaker 1: tell me how was the Youth Summit experience for you?
Speaker 1: The Youth Summit experienced? It was it was new because
Speaker 1: I'm not around a lot of young queer people like
Speaker 1: um here in North Carolina, So it was like really
Speaker 1: interested to interact with them like other than online. And
Speaker 1: even though I'm kind of shy myself, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It was it was nice to have like conversations in
Speaker 1: person because like you have a lot of conversations online,
Speaker 1: where like in person is really different. So what kind
Speaker 1: of conversations were you having. What were some of the
Speaker 1: sessions that you attended that were really interesting to you? UM,
Speaker 1: some of the sessions where like when we played um
Speaker 1: different games and stuff and UM just talking about like
Speaker 1: our lives and how like they're so connected even though
Speaker 1: like we come from all around. UM, Like it's it's similar,
Speaker 1: but it's different. Like it was so interesting seeing that.
Speaker 1: So you live in North Carolina. What greade are you in?
Speaker 1: Teh in tenth grade? Okay, and what is it like
Speaker 1: being in tenth grade and being queer in North Carolina?
Speaker 1: Being queer enough Carolina. It's like I even think this
Speaker 1: while I was on something. I don't I'm not necessarily
Speaker 1: I'm not very expressive with my identity. I'm more expressive
Speaker 1: online than I am in person because I just feel
Speaker 1: like it's a lot of it can be like a
Speaker 1: lot of unsolicited opinions, and I meant that I really
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like my identity is sacred to me, and
Speaker 1: so if I don't feel comfortable sharing it with you,
Speaker 1: it's not like my obligation to tell you, So I don't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like say I have like the experience of
Speaker 1: being like, um, really like I'm queer North Carolina, but
Speaker 1: I'm not open about it, so it's like kind of different.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me a bit about your online experience?
Speaker 1: Is that different chat rooms that you go to, different
Speaker 1: platforms that you use? How do you create online community? UM?
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily go to chat rooms like earlier, UM,
Speaker 1: during when I was first like, it's from my identity.
Speaker 1: I UM, I would go to different like like informational sessions.
Speaker 1: It will be like a chat room, right, but it
Speaker 1: would be like about like vogueing like ballrooms, So I
Speaker 1: would go to those sessions, but that only have to
Speaker 1: like once, and UM, I necessarily just talk about like
Speaker 1: I'm over on myding on Instagram and things of that nature.
Speaker 1: But UM, it's meant it's just like somebody like signing
Speaker 1: up on your story. They're like, hey, I'm by too,
Speaker 1: and it's like that sort of thing. I don't really like.
Speaker 1: It's not really like an end depth conversation unless like
Speaker 1: I'm like I personally know you or we got to
Speaker 1: know each other. What made you want to attend the
Speaker 1: Youth Summit? Was this your first time? Hm? Um? Last
Speaker 1: year even though I got in the program last year.
Speaker 1: We didn't have when you summit last year, so like
Speaker 1: because of COVID, But um, I wanted to attend because
Speaker 1: I feel like I've never been in LA and then
Speaker 1: I feel like it would be a great time to
Speaker 1: like interact with people, um, other queer people, because I
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of that in North Carolina. It's there.
Speaker 1: Do you have within your school a GSA any type
Speaker 1: of programs that are directed towards LGBTQ youth, I don't
Speaker 1: believe so. Um. I remember in middle school they had
Speaker 1: a DSA, but from this time I was in eye
Speaker 1: transition from middle school in high school, I moved to
Speaker 1: a different high school, like like I live in like
Speaker 1: like a predominantly white suburb of Charlotte, So I moved
Speaker 1: to a more diverse part of Charlotte could go to school.
Speaker 1: I didn't physically move, but I decided to go to
Speaker 1: school there. And so we're kind of behind on clubs.
Speaker 1: Like my school just bought back clubs this year, so
Speaker 1: it's like we have I think it's like art clubs
Speaker 1: and STUBB. It's not like yesa, okay, what kind of
Speaker 1: programs or what kind of groups do you go to
Speaker 1: in person? If you go to any at all, are
Speaker 1: there that are there available for people that are your age? Um?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know, because, Um, I don't go to any
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's like kind of like a
Speaker 1: disconnect from going to a different from going to like
Speaker 1: a different say, to go to school's kind of like
Speaker 1: a disconnect. And like some things like sometimes I feel
Speaker 1: like more it's more diverse and like more open in Charlotte,
Speaker 1: but I live like it's different because it's like I
Speaker 1: don't get home from school to a certain time, and
Speaker 1: then like my parents don't get off of work till
Speaker 1: a certain time. So it's like some things like in person,
Speaker 1: most thing I can only do virtual because it's like
Speaker 1: that's just like how my life is seconds. It's how
Speaker 1: my life is set up right now as well. I
Speaker 1: prefer to do things virtually. UM, tell me, Chloe, what
Speaker 1: do you think that older people get wrong when they're
Speaker 1: talking about queer use? I feel like what older um
Speaker 1: people get wrong is like just the whole concept and
Speaker 1: the whole um this is new. I never like a
Speaker 1: lot of older people I noticed they try to say, oh,
Speaker 1: we never had this back in my day. When actually
Speaker 1: I feel like they actually did, but they kind of
Speaker 1: shut them down or um people were less expressive because
Speaker 1: they could get hate crime in the person who would
Speaker 1: hate crime them, they wouldn't get any like punishment for it.
Speaker 1: So I feel like most older people they feel like
Speaker 1: this is a it's a surprise to them, and like
Speaker 1: they often overreact to like certain things like if they
Speaker 1: see like a queer couple or like, um, it's I
Speaker 1: feel like trans youth, especially a lot of old older
Speaker 1: um people, they overreact to it, but they feel like, um,
Speaker 1: it's new when it's like really not in like people
Speaker 1: like they know themselves, like they I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: don't recering aboutself. It feels like a lot of older
Speaker 1: people they live in a hetero normative like mindset yea
Speaker 1: where they feel like if it's not a heteronormative like
Speaker 1: is like mind bling when it's really normal, it really
Speaker 1: shouldn't be because people know themselves. Like you said, what
Speaker 1: message would you send to people in order to get
Speaker 1: them to be more open minded because a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of older people say, you know, you're too
Speaker 1: young to make decisions about yourself, to make decisions about
Speaker 1: your body. What message would you send to them. A
Speaker 1: message I would send to them is to educate themselves
Speaker 1: because it's really it's really down to them, because I
Speaker 1: feel like at a certain point, it's a difference between
Speaker 1: ignorance and like hatred. Like ignorance is like you don't
Speaker 1: know and but you're It's like then line because hatred
Speaker 1: is like you know you're wrong, and you know you
Speaker 1: don't know everything about the subject, but you continue to
Speaker 1: stay uneducated about it. So I feel like it's up
Speaker 1: to them to educate themselves. And I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really it's really up to them because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, the people they like feel like
Speaker 1: they're trying to spew hate against in their ignorance against
Speaker 1: They're going to continue to live their lives. I don't
Speaker 1: want to live their lives. So it's like it's up
Speaker 1: to them. What advice? Last question for you? What advice
Speaker 1: do you give to other people young people your age
Speaker 1: that may not feel comfortable yet coming out or are
Speaker 1: scared to come out. What advice do you give to them?
Speaker 1: My advice I would give them is don't come out
Speaker 1: if you're not ready, because I feel like coming out
Speaker 1: is not essential, Like you don't need to an I
Speaker 1: don't stay everyone like like straight people, they don't announce everyone.
Speaker 1: They're um um straight. So it's like, if you don't
Speaker 1: feel like coming out, you don't have to. But if
Speaker 1: you feel like you want to come out, like you should, like,
Speaker 1: make sure you're comfortable, you're ready, like um, you're in
Speaker 1: a safe environment like you should like um, just take
Speaker 1: your time like I. Don't try to like um force
Speaker 1: it or try to make it um unnatural because so
Speaker 1: and so said so, or you feel like your album
Speaker 1: gates are telling them, just like, make sure you're comfortable
Speaker 1: and safe with doing it. Chloe, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for making the time to join WALK often sharing your
Speaker 1: thoughts and your experiences at Youth Summit. I really appreciate you.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today. Dear friends on woka
Speaker 1: app as always power to the people and to all
