Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: this has been a fucking, terrible, terrible week. I am
Speaker 1: so grateful for the fact that it is over. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be transparent and honest that as soon as
Speaker 1: I'm finished with this recording, I'm going to pour myself
Speaker 1: a glass of wine. It may or may not be
Speaker 1: five o'clock. It is not, but I am over it.
Speaker 1: And there are some weeks that just kick your ass,
Speaker 1: and this is one of them. I don't even know
Speaker 1: where to begin. I don't know where to begin on
Speaker 1: this fucking Friday, but I am going to move around
Speaker 1: topics that I've covered throughout the week, things that you
Speaker 1: may know that you don't know I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: going to start with the assault on reproductive freedom. So
Speaker 1: first up, we have talked about on this show the
Speaker 1: fact that Alabama, in a court case, has basically put
Speaker 1: a halt and a stop on IVF in vitro fertilization
Speaker 1: in the state of Alabama. Now, for those of you
Speaker 1: who do not know, IVF is used in a variety
Speaker 1: of cases of infertility, and for people who are trying
Speaker 1: to and want to be parents. Now, you would think
Speaker 1: that for a party that is all about the fucking children,
Speaker 1: that somehow IVF would be a godsend, right, like the
Speaker 1: more people that can have babies, the better. But no,
Speaker 1: they can only have babies if it's on their watch
Speaker 1: and their time and the way that they want them to. Right.
Speaker 1: So in Alabama they have fucking past legislative like a
Speaker 1: court case where the fucking Chief Justice of the Alabama
Speaker 1: Supreme Court quoted the fucking Bible in his opinion. So
Speaker 1: they're not even pretending anymore, folks, that this is a theocracy.
Speaker 1: They're not even like it's not veiled anymore. What it
Speaker 1: is that they are doing, right, they are referring to
Speaker 1: embryos as embryonic people. What I'm sorry, So apparently everyone
Speaker 1: has more rights, everything has more rights than an actual, living,
Speaker 1: breathing woman and person with the uterus in these United States,
Speaker 1: embryonic fucking person. The whole plan and ploy has been
Speaker 1: not to stop the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but
Speaker 1: to go after everything. So up next, now that Alabama
Speaker 1: has halted all IVF procedures, and now who knows what
Speaker 1: will happen to those people who maybe have embryos that
Speaker 1: are currently frozen and we're waiting on implantation, And I
Speaker 1: just my heart breaks for those people who thought that
Speaker 1: this was going to be their moment right to potentially
Speaker 1: become parents, and now the state of Alabama has told
Speaker 1: them no. But if you are raped in Alabama, or
Speaker 1: if you have been a victim of incests, oh no,
Speaker 1: that baby's going to be yours. So you are forced
Speaker 1: right to have babies. But if you actually want them
Speaker 1: and need the help of a doctor in order to
Speaker 1: have that process happen, oh that you can't have Make
Speaker 1: it make fucking sense, You can't, because it absolutely does not.
Speaker 1: So it's as if then the state of Oklahoma looked
Speaker 1: around and said, hold my beer. So now the state
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma has legislation moving through the House that would
Speaker 1: outlaw Plan B, which is the abortion pill, as well
Speaker 1: as folks IUDs, which is birth control. They are going
Speaker 1: to go after any medication they are saying that interferes
Speaker 1: with the fertilization of an egg, which is the point
Speaker 1: of birth control, or that disrupts right and can form
Speaker 1: some type of medical abortion. So for all these people, right,
Speaker 1: And here's the thing that I want to drive home
Speaker 1: is that if if Donald Trump or any fucking Republican
Speaker 1: becomes president of the United States, understand that this is
Speaker 1: not just going to be a quote unquote red state issue.
Speaker 1: This will be nationalized. There will be a national abortion ban,
Speaker 1: and there will be a national ban on birth control,
Speaker 1: on in vitro, on anything right that the state doesn't
Speaker 1: allow you to have as a woman and a person
Speaker 1: with a uterus. Let that sink the fuck in For
Speaker 1: those people that are saying, like, oh, well, there's no
Speaker 1: difference between the parties and I can't stomach voting for Biden.
Speaker 1: Fucking take some pepto bismol and get over yourself. That's
Speaker 1: what the fuck I'm gonna say right now. Also for
Speaker 1: folks that are saying, well, you know what he's doing
Speaker 1: in Israel, like, I know what the fuck he's doing,
Speaker 1: And I am telling you that you can't fight for
Speaker 1: democracy elsewhere if you lose it here, So do whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck it is that you have to do in
Speaker 1: order to get into that voting booth come November and
Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden, because without that, the handmaid's tail
Speaker 1: will look like a fucking Disney series compared to what
Speaker 1: the Republican Party has in place. And for those people
Speaker 1: that are saying, oh, that will never happen, wake the
Speaker 1: fuck up. So play this episode for your friends, for
Speaker 1: your family members that are saying to themselves, oh, it's
Speaker 1: all hyperbolic. Oh, this isn't gonna happen. They are moving
Speaker 1: these cases in these states in the hopes that it
Speaker 1: will get to the Supreme Court. Right that has been
Speaker 1: the plan is to get viable cases that will invalidate
Speaker 1: bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom for everyone. This is not
Speaker 1: just the states rights issue. Oh and if it wasn't
Speaker 1: bad enough, the state of Oklahoma would also like to
Speaker 1: create an abortion registry with all of the names of
Speaker 1: the women that have received an abortion, as well as
Speaker 1: the doctors that provided those abortions the number of abortions
Speaker 1: that they had, so then that would be released to
Speaker 1: the courts and to law enforcement. Folks, this is not
Speaker 1: a game. This is not a game. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to convey anymore to people what is at stake
Speaker 1: in November. So let me tell you one of the
Speaker 1: panic attacks that I had this week, and then I'll
Speaker 1: get onto more News that if Donald Trump or any
Speaker 1: Republican becomes president of the United States, I and anyone
Speaker 1: else that is a part of the media, whether mainstream
Speaker 1: or independent, who offers critiques and analysis on politics, will
Speaker 1: in fact be out of a job. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: already said that first on his hit list would be
Speaker 1: MSNBC and other outlets. Let me just be clear that
Speaker 1: in places like Russia and China, all they have is
Speaker 1: state TV and state run media. So unless you were
Speaker 1: going to toe the strong man, the authoritarian and the
Speaker 1: dictators lies, then you are going to be seen as
Speaker 1: an enemy of the state. So where do you think
Speaker 1: this show is going to happen? Oh, it fucking won't
Speaker 1: or anything that you listen to. You know, they've always
Speaker 1: gone after NPR, right, they will go after everyone. Label them.
Speaker 1: All they have to do if you're controlling the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice is label them as a terrorist, as an
Speaker 1: enemy of the state, as a threat. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if it actually aligns with real law, because laws won't
Speaker 1: matter anymore. What Donald Trump and the Republican Party says
Speaker 1: will go. So if you are a threat, if they
Speaker 1: label you a terrorists, that's what you are. So you'll
Speaker 1: be lucky if all you do is lose your job
Speaker 1: and don't end up in Guantanamo. The threat is so
Speaker 1: very real, and it pains me because I feel like
Speaker 1: America is like that kid that you keep telling don't
Speaker 1: touch the stove. Don't touch the stove. The stove is hot,
Speaker 1: don't touch the stove. But they gotta lay their whole
Speaker 1: hand on it, singe it off, need to be brought
Speaker 1: to the emergency room, and you're like, why did you
Speaker 1: touch the fucking stove. I told you not to touch
Speaker 1: the stove. The stove was hot. Oh, I wanted to
Speaker 1: see for myself. That's America. Donald Trump is not the stove.
Speaker 1: He is a nuclear fucking bomb. And we're saying, don't
Speaker 1: hit the red button. Don't hit the red button. Whatever
Speaker 1: you do, don't hit the red button. And somebody's saying
Speaker 1: to themselves, you know, maybe the red button is fake.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just hit it, just push it a little
Speaker 1: bit to see what happens. That's what I think America
Speaker 1: is thinking right now. But you see, once you push
Speaker 1: the red button and it detonates, there's no recall, there's
Speaker 1: no calling back. The bomb and everything and everyone will
Speaker 1: be obliterated. This isn't a game, folks, and yet people
Speaker 1: are continuing to cover it as if it is. I
Speaker 1: feel crazy this week. I feel absolutely fucking insane, one
Speaker 1: news story after the other, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: They're never going to stop. They are never going to
Speaker 1: stop until they get and take everything. The only thing
Speaker 1: that is going to stop this party is us is
Speaker 1: the election, and then god willing inshallah that following the election,
Speaker 1: that these court cases then have enough time to throw
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and all of his co conspirators in jail.
Speaker 1: And the fact that I am sitting here and I
Speaker 1: can't tell you definitively that this country won't elect Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I just oh, Joe Biden's too old, Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: murdering children. He's still not Donald Trump. And if those
Speaker 1: are the choices that I have, then that's the choice
Speaker 1: I will make because I don't want to have to
Speaker 1: flee this country. But that is exactly what the fuck
Speaker 1: I will do. And I am not kidding. It is
Speaker 1: not like twenty sixteen where people are like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go to Canada. No, we actually had twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen and eighteen and nineteen and twenty. This
Speaker 1: shit has been going on for nine years, and it's
Speaker 1: gotten worse and worse every passing year. He is telling
Speaker 1: us out loud what he plans to do. I'm going
Speaker 1: to be a dictator on day one. Oh but just
Speaker 1: for one day. No, we won't. It's like a shark
Speaker 1: in the water once you taste blood. Then there is
Speaker 1: the story of the non binary sixteen year old teen
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma that was killed. And now here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Medical reports, the autopsy that has been done is saying
Speaker 1: that next did not the trauma of the beating that
Speaker 1: they received from three older female students in the bathroom
Speaker 1: of Awaso High School did not lead to their death.
Speaker 1: This is what is being said right now by the
Speaker 1: medical examiner. Let me tell you how much I trust
Speaker 1: medical examiners that are aligned with police departments that are
Speaker 1: in states that could give a fuck about trans and
Speaker 1: non binary people. The state of Oklahoma has passed fifty
Speaker 1: pieces of legislation to make it damn near impossible to
Speaker 1: live a whole and complete life as a trans person
Speaker 1: or non binary person in the state of Oklahoma. So
Speaker 1: do you think that I'm just going to trust the
Speaker 1: words of the medical examiner that is aligned with the police,
Speaker 1: so that those three female students what don't face murder charges,
Speaker 1: so that the school doesn't face charges, because what they're
Speaker 1: going to try and say is that well, next would
Speaker 1: have died at some point that day anyway, Really is
Speaker 1: that what we're doing. That story, to me is what
Speaker 1: happens when you allow poison like anti trans rhetoric and
Speaker 1: then legislation to become law, when you elect and reelect
Speaker 1: those monsters and put them in positions of power to
Speaker 1: create a climate of hate that leads to the violence
Speaker 1: that resulted in the death of a sixteen year old
Speaker 1: non binary child. The rhetoric is leading to violence. These
Speaker 1: dots need to continue to be connected because these politicians
Speaker 1: need to be held accountable, much in the same way
Speaker 1: that after a recent mass shooting, we just saw the
Speaker 1: mother of the shooter go on trial and be found guilty.
Speaker 1: I believe it was four or so counts of manslaughter.
Speaker 1: She didn't pull the trigger, but you know what the
Speaker 1: fuck she didn't do stop her fucking son that she
Speaker 1: knew had violent tendencies. So the politicians, oh, they didn't
Speaker 1: go direct those girls in the bathroom to go beat
Speaker 1: the shit out of next Benedict. But their words were
Speaker 1: certainly the fucking green light. And these folks need to
Speaker 1: be held accountable because their hate is being legislated and
Speaker 1: is being acted upon, and that's what they want, folks.
Speaker 1: I's I'm telling you. I do this at the end
Speaker 1: of a lot of weeks in this country. Some weeks
Speaker 1: are just fucking horrible because they provide a real clear
Speaker 1: preview to what life will be like in America under
Speaker 1: republican theocracy, white supremaist patriarchal rule, and there will be
Speaker 1: no recourse, there will be no courts to appeal to,
Speaker 1: there will be no constitution to uphold because they will
Speaker 1: have the power to turn the Constitution into toilet paper.
Speaker 1: We are in so much fucking trouble, so much trouble.
Speaker 1: So I don't care when people tell me that they,
Speaker 1: you know, don't have the stomach to vote for Joe Biden. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope that you have the stomach then, for authoritarianism.
Speaker 1: I hope that you have the wherewithal to live inside
Speaker 1: of a dictatorship, because that's where we will be. And
Speaker 1: it won't be because of the people that voted for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It will be because of the people that
Speaker 1: sat the fuck home and handed this country over to
Speaker 1: a bunch of theocrats. Wake up, TikTok, TikTok. Time is
Speaker 1: running out. That is it for me today, dear friends,
Speaker 1: because I need a break. I need a break and
Speaker 1: I so I'm going to take one. So my apologies
Speaker 1: for this fucking Friday being short, but I just you know,
Speaker 1: when I talk about self preservation, self care, taking care
Speaker 1: of oneself, I am spent, and so for me, that
Speaker 1: looks like giving what I can and then reserving the
Speaker 1: rest for me to rest and work out and to
Speaker 1: find some joy and community this weekend. I wish the
Speaker 1: same for all of you, and then I will see
Speaker 1: you back here on Monday. I wish you well. Joy
Speaker 1: is peace as always, dear friends. Power to the people
Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power get woke and stay
Speaker 1: woke as fun
