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: you know. Over the weekend, I posted a tweet of
Speaker 1: mine on Instagram and since that posting, it is up
Speaker 1: to about like ninety three comments. And here's what I posted.
Speaker 1: I posted in response to the White House making a
Speaker 1: statement on the student protests that are happening at Columbia University,
Speaker 1: and I wrote this at potus weighing in on the
Speaker 1: rights of students to protest is not good. The way
Speaker 1: that our democracy is being undermine all to uphold the
Speaker 1: rights of another country to oppress without repercussions is unconscionable.
Speaker 1: While I will continue to push for Dems, this makes
Speaker 1: me sick. This is a piece of what the White
Speaker 1: House's statement was quote. While every American has the right
Speaker 1: to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting
Speaker 1: Jewish students and Jewish community are blietantly anti Semitic, unconscionable,
Speaker 1: and dangerous. They have absolutely no place on any college
Speaker 1: campus or anywhere in the United States of America. And
Speaker 1: echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations especially in the wake
Speaker 1: of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since
Speaker 1: the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the
Speaker 1: strongest terms. That is not what is happening at Columbia.
Speaker 1: Students have set up tents that were forcibly removed by police.
Speaker 1: The university has decided to criminalize the act of protests
Speaker 1: and bring on police and the FBI. We are seeing
Speaker 1: students be thrown out of school for protesting against their
Speaker 1: university's funds being sent to Israel. And the fact is
Speaker 1: is that, like, while you can't control how other people
Speaker 1: may protest outside of said university, and if there is
Speaker 1: violence that has happened, and I know that there is,
Speaker 1: and if there's intimidation that has happened, which I know
Speaker 1: that it has, we have the right to protest. It
Speaker 1: is said stated clearly in the Constitution. That does not
Speaker 1: mean that you only have the right to protest when
Speaker 1: your ideas align with my own. For instance, I have
Speaker 1: reported on this show and on others that white supremacist
Speaker 1: groups have been organizing and marching down city streets across
Speaker 1: this country. Have they been arrested, No, they haven't, even
Speaker 1: though by their sheer presence. They are trying to intimidate
Speaker 1: and oppress those around them, but they're allowed to do
Speaker 1: that because that is their constitutional fucking right. Do I
Speaker 1: think it is gross and disgusting, apps of fucking lutely,
Speaker 1: But do I want to live in a country that
Speaker 1: says that only certain people have a right to protest?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I fucking don't. And so once again to deny the
Speaker 1: reality that six months after these horrific attacks started in October,
Speaker 1: that over thirty thousand Palestinian peace people, children and women
Speaker 1: have been fucking killed, that there has been absolutely a
Speaker 1: breakaway from the Geneva Convention by Israel on a number
Speaker 1: of occasions, that our tax dollars continue to go to
Speaker 1: fund murder. It is not something that people are just
Speaker 1: going to forget about. And I think that this administration
Speaker 1: was thinking that, like with other foreign affairs and other incidents,
Speaker 1: that Americans, after a little bit, would get tired and
Speaker 1: just go back to business as usual. Well guess what
Speaker 1: they fucking aren't. They're continuing to organize, they're continuing to protest,
Speaker 1: they're continuing to march, They're continuing to use their voices
Speaker 1: as thus given to them by the constitution of these
Speaker 1: United States, and so for this administration to not fucking
Speaker 1: get it that these young people are pissed and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you the only thing
Speaker 1: that our politicians seem to want to agree about is
Speaker 1: the banning of TikTok, which is an organizing tool and
Speaker 1: an information tool for this generation and others. You can't
Speaker 1: agree on an assault rifles ban, you can't agree on
Speaker 1: affordable housing, you can't agree on a child tax credit,
Speaker 1: but you all get together and want to agree on Oh,
Speaker 1: TikTok is dangerous. Give me a fucking break. You look stupid,
Speaker 1: and this generation sees it. But you want their vote
Speaker 1: in less than two hundred days, but are in take
Speaker 1: their demand seriously whatsoever? And instead are equating the grief
Speaker 1: and heartache that they have with watching a genocide unfold
Speaker 1: on their screens and saying that because their hearts are breaking,
Speaker 1: that they're sympathizing with terrorists. Give me a fucking break now.
Speaker 1: While I said in my statement that I will continue
Speaker 1: to support Democrats because I know what a final Trump
Speaker 1: administration will do to our democracy into this country, this
Speaker 1: administration is continually making it more and more difficult for
Speaker 1: me to do so, and I know that if I
Speaker 1: have difficulty, then I know that there are lots of
Speaker 1: folks that do and that instead of swallowing it, we'll
Speaker 1: just decide to stay home. So at some point the
Speaker 1: Biden administration needs to decide what is more important to
Speaker 1: them met and Yahoo or our democracy, because two things
Speaker 1: can't exist at the same fucking time. Coming up next,
Speaker 1: my conversation with the co host of my other show,
Speaker 1: Democracy Ish author and columnist, activist, speaker, brilliant mind Waja
Speaker 1: hot Ali, where we get into this conversation and much more, Folks,
Speaker 1: I am so excited to welcome back to WOKF Daily,
Speaker 1: my co host over at the other eleven thousand pod
Speaker 1: that I do democracy Ish Wajahat a Lee who is
Speaker 1: the author of Go Back To Where You Came From.
Speaker 1: He is a writer, he is a speaker, he is
Speaker 1: a prolific tweeter. Waj We are we are in extraordinary times.
Speaker 1: We are living in extraordinary times. I think it was
Speaker 1: Charlotte Klember on social media who said I miss living
Speaker 1: in non historic times, and I said I would like
Speaker 1: to go back to precedented times. I sat on a
Speaker 1: couch with a friend as we watched the drones from
Speaker 1: Iran enter over the dome in Israel, and we're sitting
Speaker 1: there and we're watching this happen in real time, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, Holy shit, is this it? What
Speaker 1: were you thinking as you're watching this? And it's been,
Speaker 1: you know, several days since, But is this it? Is
Speaker 1: this the beginning of World War three? Have we been
Speaker 1: in the beginning of it for some time? What are
Speaker 1: your reactions?
Speaker 2: I had two thoughts which I held at the same
Speaker 2: time that might appear to be completely opposite. Is number one,
Speaker 2: it revealed the tinderbox that is the Middle East and
Speaker 2: how all will take is one moment, one flash of violence,
Speaker 2: to potentially God forbid, trigger an international crisis, you know,
Speaker 2: which is oftentimes how world wars begin, right because multiple
Speaker 2: actors with their own because each actor, each state, actor,
Speaker 2: has their own interests, and they'd always align with the
Speaker 2: United States, folks. And so you saw a retaliation by
Speaker 2: Iran for Israel's strike that we don't talk about because
Speaker 2: Israel also struck the world's central kitchen convoy and killed
Speaker 2: seven people, but we talked about it on another podcast
Speaker 2: that Israel had also that weekend struck the Iranian embassy
Speaker 2: in Syria and killed a leading Iranian general. So naturally,
Speaker 2: when it comes to these two reckless actors, they have
Speaker 2: to save face. So even though as a tinderbox was
Speaker 2: about to potentially explode, I also said on the X
Speaker 2: or the Twitter, whatever the hell this neo Nazi website
Speaker 2: is called, that this is going to be highly dangerous,
Speaker 2: reckless theater. My prediction was that Iran has to save
Speaker 2: face because their embassy got attacked by Israel, a highly
Speaker 2: provocative act that, by the way, our national security experts
Speaker 2: said that would not only increase threat assessment for Israel
Speaker 2: but also the United States. So we were just sitting
Speaker 2: there in pens Needo. How will Iran respond? So Iran
Speaker 2: sent these drones, these slow moving drones that took six
Speaker 2: hours to get there, which was kind of a signal
Speaker 2: Danielle that like, yep, hey, we're sending these drones. They
Speaker 2: will arrive in six hours. And then later on Iran said, okay,
Speaker 2: we're done, which just goes to show you that in
Speaker 2: order to then save face and show that it has
Speaker 2: responded to Israel, it sent this provocative act which made
Speaker 2: the rest of us be like, holy crap, what's happening right?
Speaker 2: And def Con like Defcon three and everyone's tweeting World
Speaker 2: War three, And then you're sitting there thinking to yourself,
Speaker 2: why oh why has the Biden administration allowed unconditional aid
Speaker 2: to this reckless rogue actor named Netan Yahoo that has
Speaker 2: always for nearly two decades wanted war champion the war
Speaker 2: came to America and said, warrant Remember that we're old
Speaker 2: enough to remember. He was one of the champions of
Speaker 2: the failed warran Terror. One of the worst foreign policy
Speaker 2: decisions of our lifetime, for sure, but perhaps in modern
Speaker 2: US history, in which US democracy did not blow him
Speaker 2: Across the Middle East. We invaded Iraq, invaded Aganistan. It
Speaker 2: was a complete pluster. F who loved it? Nen Yaho?
Speaker 2: And what would nan Yaho? And the warhawks love nothing
Speaker 2: more than to eliminate Iran. Iran and Israel not suicidal actors,
Speaker 2: even though they're dangerous and reckless. But the rest of
Speaker 2: US are held hostage by this crisis. And the United
Speaker 2: States because it is the number one partner of Israel,
Speaker 2: because it gives financial aid to Israel, because it gives weapons,
Speaker 2: is still giving weapons to Israel, because Without US support,
Speaker 2: Israel cannot continue occupying Gaza of the West Bank or
Speaker 2: continue its war. I ask myself, Joe Biden, is it
Speaker 2: worth it? Is it worth it to your reputation, to
Speaker 2: your legacy, to your election chances, to humanitarian cause, to
Speaker 2: global security, to keep with unconditional aid supporting Netanyahu, a
Speaker 2: guy who literally wants you to lose. Who's struck not
Speaker 2: just the World Central Kitchen which killed an American, also
Speaker 2: Al Shaffah hospital no one talks about, and also the
Speaker 2: Iranian embassy And we knew the second day they did it. Whoops,
Speaker 2: this is going to be threatening for US and Israel.
Speaker 2: Iran responded. Everyone else is like, holy shit, this is
Speaker 2: World War three. And then everyone's like, oh, don't worry,
Speaker 2: it's no, it's not world War three. We're okay? Are
Speaker 2: we okay? Do you feel better? Are you calm?
Speaker 1: Do I feel better? Do I feel colm?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Would be the answer to that. And I think that
Speaker 1: you know what else, I noticed as we were all
Speaker 1: watching and hashtag world War three was trending. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this. I'm gonna assume that
Speaker 1: you did. Wash the comments from Americans for the first
Speaker 1: time about Iran. We're not talking about Iran as our
Speaker 1: mortal enemy. The comments in the comments section that I
Speaker 1: saw on Instagram on TikTok said, so who has the
Speaker 1: right to defend themselves? There you go and I and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this was posted on people one of people,
Speaker 1: one of one of No, no, no, this was this
Speaker 1: was it was? It was Iran sends drones to Israel.
Speaker 1: Was posted on a site called the Shade Room, which
Speaker 1: is largely a black entertainment and culture site on Instagram
Speaker 1: and occasionally they post news and politics and just kind
Speaker 1: of put it up there, and then I go to
Speaker 1: see what folks are thinking, and it was black folks
Speaker 1: that said, well, who has a right to defend themselves?
Speaker 1: Israel attacked Ron first, like they just attack their embassy,
Speaker 1: so don't they have the right to respond in kind.
Speaker 1: This was the first time was in my life that
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Americans ask a very real question about the
Speaker 1: actions of who has been labeled one of our most
Speaker 1: dangerous adversaries. What do you make of that?
Speaker 2: The conversation around Israel has radically shifted in a way
Speaker 2: that I have not seen in my entire life, and
Speaker 2: it's thanks to not just pousting and activists, Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims,
Speaker 2: but like you said, people of color, black folks, and
Speaker 2: also young people. And I think the majority of the
Speaker 2: world that is witnessing an ongoing genocide. And if you
Speaker 2: don't like the word genocide, collective punishment, war crimes, unjust, unfair, unbalanced,
Speaker 2: cruelty against Palestinians, which has claimed the lives of thirty
Speaker 2: three thousand Palestinians, mostly civilians, injured more than seventy thousand.
Speaker 2: And when we say the word injured, Daniel, you know,
Speaker 2: oftentimes when we talk about injuries, you kind of just
Speaker 2: casually say, oh, just injuries. We're talking about amputations, kids
Speaker 2: without limbs, right, people who we don't even know if
Speaker 2: they're going to survive, right who. Now we're seeing starvation
Speaker 2: and famine for the population of Gaza, displacement, and we're
Speaker 2: seeing what we saw the deaths of humanitarians, the just
Speaker 2: blatant murders, journalists, murder of WCK World Central Kitchen Convoy
Speaker 2: that was working in conjunction with Israel still wasn't safe.
Speaker 2: Shepherds who were just killed today, like you know, just
Speaker 2: just murdered by Israel. And then the question then comes
Speaker 2: to folks, well, who has the right to self defense?
Speaker 2: Don't the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves? If
Speaker 2: this was happening to me, what do you do? Do
Speaker 2: you just die? And I think black folks in particular
Speaker 2: in this country, right, resisting white supremacy has always been
Speaker 2: met with civility. Right, don't use violence. You can never
Speaker 2: use violence, even if for being whipped and enslaved and
Speaker 2: killed and lynched. Okay, you can't arm yourself, God forbid
Speaker 2: if you do that. Buying panthers did it. And then
Speaker 2: the NRA for the first time, teaming up with Ronald
Speaker 2: reg and the governor of California, said oh, let's have
Speaker 2: gun control.
Speaker 1: So no arm are you in an American city like
Speaker 1: they did in Philadelphia in the nineteen eighties, Go ahead,
Speaker 1: can do that.
Speaker 2: No problem. Tanks rolling through the streets, right, Tulsa. So
Speaker 2: you can't use violence, got it? Can't protest, can't march
Speaker 2: and literally Supreme Court now is suggesting that you can't
Speaker 2: have mass protests in three states. Okay, got it. Can't
Speaker 2: say black lives matter, So can't say some words or
Speaker 2: wear some t shirts that offend the economic anxiety of
Speaker 2: folks got it. Can't silently kneel during the national anthem.
Speaker 2: Can't do that because if you do that, you get
Speaker 2: black balled, your NFL career is gone, and then your
Speaker 2: jerseys are burned. So the only option that you have
Speaker 2: is to just die, just take it and die. And
Speaker 2: I think, Danielle, that's why you're seeing, especially with black
Speaker 2: people and people of color, indigenous people, and especially young people,
Speaker 2: they're finally asking themselves, first and foremost, why are we
Speaker 2: giving unconditional aid to an ally that does not act
Speaker 2: like an ally, acts like an enemy? Come on, what
Speaker 2: interest is it of the United States to expose itself
Speaker 2: and expose Americans to a reckless like Like people are
Speaker 2: finally asking, wait, why are we giving money to Israel?
Speaker 2: Like how does this help me? How does this help
Speaker 2: the United States? It doesn't like what's the what's the answer?
Speaker 2: Can you tell me the answer? I have a tough
Speaker 2: tough time coming with the answer.
Speaker 1: Like, here's what I'm told in response, because I say
Speaker 1: these things, and I say them, you know, I say
Speaker 1: them on air, I say them in you know, in
Speaker 1: conversation with friends. But what I'm told I said, So
Speaker 1: what happens if the United States decides not to just
Speaker 1: continue writing a blank check to Israel. What if there
Speaker 1: is actually God forbid some conditions that are put in place,
Speaker 1: that require humanitarian aid, that require pathways, that require a
Speaker 1: two state solution, that require like all of these things.
Speaker 1: And folks tell me was that the United States will crumble.
Speaker 1: That without the security that has been created around Israel
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, that everything that we know to
Speaker 1: be true will vanish. That without the United States securing Israel,
Speaker 1: then all bets are off. That's what I'm told.
Speaker 2: You call the security the rise in anti Semitism, the
Speaker 2: rise in Islamophobia. You call the security where because of
Speaker 2: israel reckless attack on Iranian embassy, the threat assessment against
Speaker 2: the United States has increased. You call the security where
Speaker 2: world nations are angry at the United States for being
Speaker 2: the number one supporter of Israel during its occupation and
Speaker 2: siege of Gaza. What security you call this security? You
Speaker 2: call this friendship when at present buying the most powerful
Speaker 2: person on earth, the commander in chief of our country,
Speaker 2: says I believe in a two state solution, and the
Speaker 2: next state Nanio says, no, I don't believe in two
Speaker 2: state solution. When Biden says there should be no more
Speaker 2: settlements in the West Bank, in Israel says he there's
Speaker 2: gonna be thirty four hundred new settlements in the West Bank.
Speaker 2: Where President Biden says, hey, hey, reduce the civilian casualties,
Speaker 2: and NANNIEO says, eh, I'm going to kill the WCK
Speaker 2: kitchen staff, which includes an American, And hey, this happens
Speaker 2: in war? What security? What respect? What mutual reciprocity is
Speaker 2: there in this relationship? What do we get out of it?
Speaker 2: Why are my tax payer dollars going to the occupation
Speaker 2: of Palestinians and to the bombing of Palestinians which is
Speaker 2: increasing world hatred against America and also in Muslim majority
Speaker 2: countries we have seen going back to the war and
Speaker 2: terror that one of the grievances that people like Osama
Speaker 2: Milan al Kaya the ISIS have used against the United
Speaker 2: States is exactly this, the support for Israel AND's occupation.
Speaker 2: So if anything, it emboldens our enemies against us. Tell
Speaker 2: me how it helps, Tell me how it helps.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you. I can't tell you
Speaker 1: because I agree with everything that you just said. So
Speaker 1: like I can't tell you, Daniel.
Speaker 2: I think it's madness for any country to be given
Speaker 2: unconditional aid. No country is given unconditional aid except Israel.
Speaker 2: That's absurd. That's like saying, I'm gonna give you these rockets.
Speaker 2: You could go blow up kids unconditional aid, Like why,
Speaker 2: But with Israel unconditional aid, you know, iron clad support.
Speaker 2: That's what President Biden said a few days ago, and.
Speaker 1: That's what Vice President Howris repeated, iron clad support.
Speaker 2: And I'm like why, And then people are finally asking
Speaker 2: why why unconditional support for a reckless actor named Benjamin
Speaker 2: Naniah who in an extremist government that have shown nothing
Speaker 2: but contempt towards you, President Biden, your administration, your policies,
Speaker 2: and also to humanitarian aid, to democracy, to justice, like
Speaker 2: the person who is his National security minister. For those
Speaker 2: who don't know, is Itamar ben Gavier? An extremist according
Speaker 2: to Israel standards, who's giving out machine guns to settlers,
Speaker 2: and who's openly saying, you know, President Trump would be
Speaker 2: better than Biden and is openly saying, yeah, we want
Speaker 2: it all, we want everything river to the sea completely.
Speaker 2: In contrast to the alleged policies of President Biden, and
Speaker 2: you know, it reminds me of this. It's like I
Speaker 2: think maybe Biden is a masochist at heart, and I
Speaker 2: don't want to kink shame that like Nan Yahoo just
Speaker 2: like slaps him around and Biden says, thank you, might
Speaker 2: have another. But what it does is it makes Biden
Speaker 2: look weak. It weakens him before a monumental election where
Speaker 2: I think you and I agree that our democracy is
Speaker 2: at stake. As you and I have said on our
Speaker 2: other podcast, Democracy Ish that this will end up hurting
Speaker 2: him with some Democratic voters. And when you and I
Speaker 2: say it, no one listens. But when white dudes say
Speaker 2: they will. There's an article out in the Atlantic this
Speaker 2: week showing exactly that that this issue now Democrats are
Speaker 2: afraid might hurt them in the upcoming election. And it's
Speaker 2: not just Muslims and Arabs.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this too, with regard to
Speaker 1: the continued coverage and what we're seeing in mainstream media
Speaker 1: and in cable news, because what I thought was really
Speaker 1: interesting as I was watching the drones as you were
Speaker 1: a couple of weekends ago head to Israel, I noticed
Speaker 1: who wasn't on air during their hour and that was
Speaker 1: Aim in Mohedeen and instead on MSNBC it was Jose
Speaker 1: Diaz Bolart and I thought to myself, and I go
Speaker 1: on Jose's show. I enjoy Jose, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I know, he's not an expert in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: You know what I know that he is not is
Speaker 1: somebody that has been doing correspondence in that part of
Speaker 1: the world for their entire career, like Am and Mohedeen. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to ask you, you know, your
Speaker 1: thoughts on the invisibilizing that is happening to prominent Muslims
Speaker 1: on air and what we need to make of that
Speaker 1: and what we need to say about that.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, you know, I'm glad you asked this
Speaker 2: question because I saw Aman briefly yesterday at the launch
Speaker 2: of Zeteo, which is the new media company launched by
Speaker 2: maybe Husson and maythe Husson for those of you who
Speaker 2: don't know, used to be was the best interviewer MSNBC had,
Speaker 2: I would say, the best interviewer on cable news. And
Speaker 2: he was let go, his show was canceled and essentially
Speaker 2: then he got out of his contract. He can't talk
Speaker 2: about it right now. But I can openly say that
Speaker 2: it was due to pressure from outside groups due to
Speaker 2: his coverage on Guzin and so he saw maybe Husson
Speaker 2: get canceled. People are forgetting that the cancelation attempts against
Speaker 2: not just Maylie but also Oli Velshi and I am
Speaker 2: at MSNBC where some groups are calling them Hamas propagandists.
Speaker 2: You're seeing people anyone who's pro Palestini didn't get canceled.
Speaker 2: Even Jewish Americans like Jonathan Glazer, the one the director
Speaker 2: who won four Zona of Interest the Academy Award, who
Speaker 2: gave a very beautiful humanitarian speech, he got canceled, right,
Speaker 2: And you just saw. This is coming out in a
Speaker 2: few days. But you just saw, and I think you're
Speaker 2: going to see more and more coverage of the USC
Speaker 2: commencement speaker. I don't know if you've heard about this Danielle.
Speaker 2: Her name is Asneta Bassom, and USC and their cowardice
Speaker 2: canceled her speedch citing quote unquote security concerns without mentioning
Speaker 2: any security concern. And essentially she's a sweet like young,
Speaker 2: brown skinned Hijabi girl who minored in resistance to genocide,
Speaker 2: and essentially what people are saying is they were afraid
Speaker 2: that during her valedictorian speech she might talk about what's
Speaker 2: happening in Gaza, so they canceled her speech. Talked me
Speaker 2: about cancel culture, Danielle, Talk to maybe about free you know,
Speaker 2: free speech. Talk to me about forget safe spaces, the
Speaker 2: marketplace of ideas, all this bullshit right wing talking points
Speaker 2: that Ben Shapiro talks about. I haven't seen them coming
Speaker 2: to defense with mayde Hussan. I haven't seen them come
Speaker 2: of the defense of us. I haven't seen the come
Speaker 2: to the defense of Iman. Why is that, Danielle, Why
Speaker 2: is that? Hmm? Free speech ends with Palestine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that free speech is contention upon
Speaker 1: your complexion, and that that is something that has always
Speaker 1: been the case in the United States, is that when
Speaker 1: you start to advocate for yourself, for your group, for
Speaker 1: other marginalized communities, if you do not have the complexion
Speaker 1: for the protection, then you are canceled or assassinated, which
Speaker 1: is you know, another piece right, like we don't when
Speaker 1: we talk about the humanitarian workers that have been killed,
Speaker 1: hundreds that have been killed in Gaza, well we're not
Speaker 1: talking about are the hundreds journalists that have been killed
Speaker 1: in their families that have been killed and targeted, right.
Speaker 1: And so while we're not currently in the business of
Speaker 1: killing journalists in this country, what we are doing is
Speaker 1: killing careers and killing character. And I think that that
Speaker 1: is worthy of discussion because what they are trying to
Speaker 1: do is make an example of these people, right in
Speaker 1: saying that if you open up your mouth right in
Speaker 1: a certain way and in a certain frame, and we
Speaker 1: can't trust what it is that you're going to say,
Speaker 1: so we're going to remove you, right. And so this
Speaker 1: is when, in all honesty, I call on white allies, right,
Speaker 1: who people who continually ask, you know, what can I do?
Speaker 1: What can I do? I call on white allies to
Speaker 1: be the fucking shield for the people who are getting canceled, right,
Speaker 1: and to lift those people up and to have those
Speaker 1: conversations and to be provocative and to use their names
Speaker 1: and their voices and their power for those that are made
Speaker 1: an example of.
Speaker 2: Can I give you a quote just to articulate exactly
Speaker 2: what you said, because they're admitting it, like the Bond
Speaker 2: villains that they are. Christopher Ufo, the right wing activist
Speaker 2: who has gone after CRT and diversity, he used this quote,
Speaker 2: and so did Elise Stephanic after they railroaded Claudine Gay,
Speaker 2: who was the first black president of Harvard Law School.
Speaker 2: They said, we have a scalp. We have a scalp,
Speaker 2: and we want more scalps. That's exactly it. We got
Speaker 2: the scalp, and then you raise the scalp and you say, see, see,
Speaker 2: this is what happens. And then they raise it like
Speaker 2: trophy is like the predator. And so what I tell
Speaker 2: folks is, Okay, you might have gotten your short term victory,
Speaker 2: but this is a pyrrhic victory, Danielle and bring things
Speaker 2: back full circle. People have woken up. People have realized
Speaker 2: that wait a second, this is not the only democracy
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. This seems like an occupying, brutal
Speaker 2: country whose policies are demonied Palestinian people who need self
Speaker 2: determination and freedom, And why is my money paying for
Speaker 2: what most people now are saying is an ongoing genocide?
Speaker 2: And the polls that are released as of this week
Speaker 2: is that Biden and n Yah who have lost independence
Speaker 2: in this country. So not just democrats, even independents are like, yo,
Speaker 2: why are we supporting this? Like there should be a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: So I'm curious, Danielle, as this war goes on, and
Speaker 2: the last thing I'll say is nen Yaho needs this war.
Speaker 2: He's a deeply unpopular prime minister. Seventy five percent of
Speaker 2: the country wants him out. If this war stops, he
Speaker 2: will be forced to resigned. So it's in his interest
Speaker 2: for this war to go on. It's in his interest
Speaker 2: for Iran to retaliate, because then it whitewashes his sins
Speaker 2: and Gaza right, the media complex here will just concentrate
Speaker 2: on the news of the day and forget about, you know,
Speaker 2: the thirty three thousand dead Palestinians. The question is how
Speaker 2: much will Biden give up for a man who mocks him,
Speaker 2: ridyicules him, humiliates him, and aggressively wants him to lose
Speaker 2: the election. How much will Biden give up? And how
Speaker 2: come Biden, who has shown some nimbleness in changing in
Speaker 2: other aspects of his career, right in his policies. Wise,
Speaker 2: he's so ensconced and entrenched in his defense of Naniehu
Speaker 2: in Israel as it's committing what many say is an
Speaker 2: ongoing genocide. That will be the question that he will
Speaker 2: have to answer. And I think there will be a
Speaker 2: cost if he does not answer that question in a
Speaker 2: way that moves us toward a seiz fire and peace.
Speaker 2: That's my prediction.
Speaker 1: Oh, my friend, well, we will have to leave it
Speaker 1: there today. But that is in fact the question that
Speaker 1: is on the table for this administration, but for our democracy.
Speaker 1: At what cost? What cost will it take for the
Speaker 1: iron clad grip to cease? Thank you, my friend, for
Speaker 1: making the time for will k F. I always appreciate you.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today. Dear friends on woke
Speaker 1: app as always, power to the people and to all
Speaker 1: the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
