Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to OKAP Daily with me
Speaker 1: your girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the home bunker. Folks.
Speaker 1: I don't normally spend a lot of time on this show,
Speaker 1: or frankly, any of my shows talking about foreign affairs,
Speaker 1: because I'm an expert in what happens in America and
Speaker 1: in American politics. But I will tell you that what
Speaker 1: is transpired in South Korea and has occupied our airwaves
Speaker 1: and social media has my Spidey senses off in Itzzy.
Speaker 1: But let me start with my favorite topic, shall we,
Speaker 1: which is goddamn democrats. Like Honestly, frankly, I can't tell
Speaker 1: you enough how many times I have said this over
Speaker 1: the last ten years. I am not asking for Democrats
Speaker 1: to completely flip the table and say, well, if they're
Speaker 1: not going to play by the rule of law, then
Speaker 1: we're not going to play by the rule of law. No,
Speaker 1: but there are times when you must recognize that the
Speaker 1: law has its limitations. And right now, this both sides
Speaker 1: is a bullshit that Democrats find themselves in with the
Speaker 1: comparison the audacity, first of all, to compare what has
Speaker 1: happened with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden pardoning him, and
Speaker 1: the myriad of crimes that Donald Trump has committed and
Speaker 1: also his inner circle has committed, and Donald Trump then
Speaker 1: pardoned them all four the fact that Democrats are even uttering,
Speaker 1: how can we possibly hold Donald Trump accountable when Joe
Speaker 1: Biden pardons his unelected son for filling out a form improperly.
Speaker 1: But you want to compare that to thirty four felony counts.
Speaker 1: You want to compare that to hiding documents when you
Speaker 1: were asked by the National Archives on multiple occasions to
Speaker 1: return them. You want to compare that to can you
Speaker 1: do me a favor? Though? You want to compare that
Speaker 1: to find me eleven seven hundred and sixty four votes? Though?
Speaker 1: You want to compare that to Mike Flynn being a
Speaker 1: foreign agent. You want to compare that to Steve Bannon
Speaker 1: grifting off of the American people and telling them that
Speaker 1: they were going to be paying for a brick to
Speaker 1: build a wall that oh, Donald Trump said that Mexico
Speaker 1: was going to pay for and then pocketing that money.
Speaker 1: You want to compare that to Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's daddy,
Speaker 1: blackmailing and trying to pay off a prostitute to blackmail
Speaker 1: his own sister, who is now going to be the
Speaker 1: new ambassador to France. You want to compare Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: to that, like, are y'all stupid? Like? That is the
Speaker 1: question that I have for establishment Democrats at this time.
Speaker 1: Are you all dumb? Because you act like you have
Speaker 1: no fucking sense and you act as if you haven't
Speaker 1: learned anything anything over the past ten years. So for
Speaker 1: people to say that this pardon is gonna send Donald
Speaker 1: Trump over the edge, bitch, you should have had a
Speaker 1: parachute a long time ago, because we've been over the
Speaker 1: edge for the last decade. Miss me with it. But
Speaker 1: you want to talk about Joe Biden pardoning his son
Speaker 1: on trumped up political charges that were only created so
Speaker 1: that Merrick Garland's bullshit, lackluster, spineless Department of Justice could
Speaker 1: have the perception of both sides. Did you hear the
Speaker 1: list of people and crimes that were committed by Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and his inner circle? But Democrats right now have
Speaker 1: themselves up in a tizzy over one pardon that if
Speaker 1: his last name as Eric Holder, said former USAG said
Speaker 1: that if Hunter Biden's name last name had been Smith
Speaker 1: or Thompson, or anything other than Biden, he wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been awaiting sentencing to begin with. So in the push
Speaker 1: not to quote unquote play politics, all Merrick Garland has
Speaker 1: done is play politics. And frankly, the only mistake that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden made with regard to this is that he
Speaker 1: should have never said that he was never going to
Speaker 1: pardon his son. He should have said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: allow the Justice Department to move through their investigation, which
Speaker 1: is separate from my administration, and then we will see
Speaker 1: and keep it fucking moving. But the actions that Democrats
Speaker 1: are taking right now are exactly the reason why people
Speaker 1: want to abandon the Democratic Party to begin with. You see, folks,
Speaker 1: the Republican Party has been waging war on Democrats on
Speaker 1: democracy since the beginning of the Tea Party, okay, which
Speaker 1: started during the Obama administration, Right, so, since the Tea
Speaker 1: Party and Donald Trump coming onto the stage asking for
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's papers, right, they have been waging war on democracy.
Speaker 1: And what have Democrats been doing just hang ringing, pointing fingers,
Speaker 1: trying to pretend that they are the adults in the
Speaker 1: room when guess what, folks, everybody else has left the
Speaker 1: fucking room. Because they're tired of the both sides ism.
Speaker 1: They're tired of the run that Democrats are doing, running
Speaker 1: up behind the Republican Party as they continue to move
Speaker 1: into further extremism. Guess who's chasing them to the right.
Speaker 1: It is Democrats. So, friends, we can't sit around here
Speaker 1: and say, oh, well, we have to be better, because
Speaker 1: my thing is we are better. We don't have to
Speaker 1: create trumped up charges. We don't have to create this
Speaker 1: both sides ism and bullshit in order to showcase that
Speaker 1: we are better. No one should have said anything when
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was pardoned, not a fucking person inside of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. They should have all done what Jasmine said,
Speaker 1: which was bravo, and then follow that up with the
Speaker 1: list of people that Donald Trump had pardoned who are
Speaker 1: known criminals, which is what Rachel Maddow did. It is
Speaker 1: an abdication of duty and responsibility that Democrats continue to
Speaker 1: show in this moment that while they should be bracing
Speaker 1: themselves for the incoming of fascism, for the incoming of autocracy,
Speaker 1: and how they plant to function in that, No, they're
Speaker 1: gonna waste the next couple of weeks talking about Joe
Speaker 1: Biden pardoning his son and think that somehow what Republicans
Speaker 1: are not laughing at them and thinking how ridiculous they are.
Speaker 1: This is why we are in this space right now,
Speaker 1: because Democrats abandoned their base in an attempt to try
Speaker 1: and court the Republicans that somehow they think don't follow
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and somehow would be able to bring them
Speaker 1: over as opposed to amplifying the issues and creating the
Speaker 1: solutions to the problems that are actually plaguing their base.
Speaker 1: We find ourselves here, folks, not just because Republicans have
Speaker 1: shown us who they are, but because Democrats don't know
Speaker 1: who the fuck they are. That's why we find ourselves
Speaker 1: in the place that we are in. And so let
Speaker 1: us now look and take a gander at what has
Speaker 1: happened in South Korea. So, folks, let me give you
Speaker 1: just a quick little history lesson martial law. What is
Speaker 1: martial law? It's a word that is thrown around all
Speaker 1: the time, a phrase that is thrown around, but I
Speaker 1: don't actually think that we really know what martial law is. Well,
Speaker 1: it says here martial law is the temporary substitution of
Speaker 1: military authority for civilian rule, typically invoked during emergencies. It
Speaker 1: has been used folks roughly sixty eight times in the
Speaker 1: United States's two hundred and fifty year history. Nearly read here.
Speaker 1: In the US, it can be declared at both state
Speaker 1: and federal levels, and is often associated with the suspension
Speaker 1: of constitutional rights such as habeas corpus. The Posse Commeatus
Speaker 1: Act of eighteen seventy eight generally prohibits the military from
Speaker 1: enforcing domestic law without congressional approval, but exceptions can be
Speaker 1: made during periods of rebellion, invasion, or public safety emergency.
Speaker 1: Let me pause here. Why are we talking about this time? Well,
Speaker 1: because the president of South Korea, President Yun, decided that
Speaker 1: as he was being alerted to the fact, Well one,
Speaker 1: his approval ratings are roughly around twenty two percent. He
Speaker 1: is the conservative in South Korea, and the parliament is
Speaker 1: controlled by DP, the Democratic Party, and there were rumblings
Speaker 1: that they were getting ready to impeach him along with
Speaker 1: some of his cabinet. And to avoid that impeachment, this
Speaker 1: mffort decided that he was going to invoke martial law.
Speaker 1: Y'all put a pin in that. So go back to
Speaker 1: our history, lesson, when was the last time that the
Speaker 1: US declared martial law. Well, it was in nineteen forty one,
Speaker 1: actually December seventh, nineteen forty one, to be exact. And
Speaker 1: when did it occur? When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor,
Speaker 1: the US federal government declared martial law in Hawaii, which
Speaker 1: persisted through October nineteen forty four. And again, the United
Speaker 1: States has only declared martial law roughly sixty eight times.
Speaker 1: No martial law was not declared during nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: So I want to bring you through exactly what it
Speaker 1: is that happened. South Korea's president declares martial law and
Speaker 1: during that time, the military helicopters everything basically broke out
Speaker 1: at parliament to try and stop members of parliament from
Speaker 1: entering the building to vote to end martial law. So
Speaker 1: President Yun calls for martial law because Parliament is getting
Speaker 1: ready to potentially impeach him, and he does this to
Speaker 1: suspend all political activity from stopping Parliament from organizing and voting.
Speaker 1: And what do the members of parliament do. They break
Speaker 1: into parliament, hopping the walls, breaking into windows to get
Speaker 1: in to organize to vote. So the military was breaking
Speaker 1: into parliament, smashing the windows and attempting to storm the
Speaker 1: National Assembly because they were initially following the president's martial
Speaker 1: law order. Because why were they breaking in the military
Speaker 1: because Parliament voted to unanimously, unanimously lifting martial law so
Speaker 1: that they could reclaim democracy. Because this mffor wanted to
Speaker 1: hold on to power visa via dictatorship. He openly threatened
Speaker 1: to stop democracy so that he wouldn't be impeached. And
Speaker 1: then they had to break in to parliament to vote
Speaker 1: to stop the dictator and the military didn't know whose
Speaker 1: rules to follow. Folks, Why am I talking about this
Speaker 1: today because I don't know if this is foreshadowing or not.
Speaker 1: So I'll read you this. Let this sink in. A
Speaker 1: government trying to restore freedom is being silenced at gunpoint.
Speaker 1: This is the first time martial law in South Korea
Speaker 1: is declared since nineteen seventy nine, when it preceded the
Speaker 1: informans I will butcher this Yangzhou uprising President Yun Sukiel's justification.
Speaker 1: He claimed martial law was to stop quote prepare for it, folks,
Speaker 1: anti state forces. That he claimed that the opposition party,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, was working alongside North Korea. Do you
Speaker 1: see follow the bouncing ball here, he basically lied to
Speaker 1: say that the opposition to him were really enemies of
Speaker 1: the state and that they were working alongside the North
Speaker 1: Koreans and he had to issue martial law in order
Speaker 1: to stop these communist forces from taking over the country. Folks,
Speaker 1: what does this sound like? This tweet goes on to say,
Speaker 1: this isn't about protecting the nation, It's about consolidating power.
Speaker 1: Martial law is being weaponized to suppress dissent and control
Speaker 1: the media because the added benefit of issuing martial law
Speaker 1: in South Korea means that guess who gets to take
Speaker 1: over the media? The president, So guess who gets to
Speaker 1: stop any objections from coming in President Yun? Guess who
Speaker 1: gets to relay their message that I'm doing this for
Speaker 1: your safety because the Democratic Party of South Korea is
Speaker 1: working with North Korea and I'm here trying to save democracy.
Speaker 1: Who does this sound like, folks? The person writing the
Speaker 1: tweet goes on to say, South Korea is standing on
Speaker 1: the edge of authoritarianism and the world is watching this,
Speaker 1: My dear friends, is what this should remind all of
Speaker 1: us of. This is exactly what was happening. January sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Donald Trump wanted to hold on to power,
Speaker 1: so he told his band of insurrectionists to go take
Speaker 1: their country back because there was what illegalities as it
Speaker 1: attains to the vote. Their vote was stolen. The Democratic
Speaker 1: Party was stealing their votes. So you need to go
Speaker 1: take your country back. And this mob believed him. When
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was told what was happening, did he call
Speaker 1: in backup to help the police, No he did not.
Speaker 1: Did he call in the military, No he did not.
Speaker 1: What concerns me about what we just saw unfolding South
Speaker 1: Korea is that parliament is actually still controlled by the opposition. However,
Speaker 1: for us here in the United States, Democrats don't control
Speaker 1: a goddamn thing. On top of the fact that they
Speaker 1: don't even control their fucking message. So going back to
Speaker 1: the top, the United States has only declared martial law,
Speaker 1: which the President of the United States has the ability
Speaker 1: to do, Congress has the ability to do, and governors
Speaker 1: have the ability to do. But in cases of natural disaster, rebellion,
Speaker 1: or unrest, laws can be suspended. What did I say
Speaker 1: yesterday about how Donald Trump will decide to manufacture crises
Speaker 1: in order to push through his plans of authoritarianism. And
Speaker 1: the thing here is that, unlike South Korea, again, Democrats
Speaker 1: do not control the House, nor do they control the Senate,
Speaker 1: nor do they control the White House or the judiciary.
Speaker 1: So what is to stop Donald Trump from coming in
Speaker 1: and saying one that we have an invasion, language that
Speaker 1: you have heard him use when discussing undocumented people in
Speaker 1: this country. He has said, we are in an invasion.
Speaker 1: These are when you're able to institute, whether it be
Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act, which is what his followers wanted him
Speaker 1: to use on January sixth, which also, by the way,
Speaker 1: allows you to designate a militia. So the fact is, yes,
Speaker 1: Trump has zero guardrails, and he has been given absolute
Speaker 1: immunity by the Supreme Court. There is very little, friends,
Speaker 1: except what a handful of Republicans that maybe still believe
Speaker 1: in the rule of law. But if they did, then
Speaker 1: they would have voted to impeach Donald Trump. So either
Speaker 1: he declares right that there is an invasion coming across
Speaker 1: the border and we need to call in martial law,
Speaker 1: or he manufactures a state of unrest, which is what
Speaker 1: we did actually see during the twenty twenty summer of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. The uprising following the murder of George Floyd. Again,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the Republican Party is looking for an
Speaker 1: opportunity to do exactly what it is the South Korean
Speaker 1: president had done. But we don't have a parliament that
Speaker 1: is working in our favor. So why are we all
Speaker 1: paying attention to South Korea right now? Because much like
Speaker 1: Brexit was foreshadowing to the election of Donald Trump in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, I believe that we are watching democracy crumble
Speaker 1: around the world and be tested in ways that it
Speaker 1: has not been tested in decades and decades and decades.
Speaker 1: So this is where we are. It is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 1: But I encourage each and every person to understand these
Speaker 1: laws and understand what powers the president has and what
Speaker 1: powers he has been given by the Supreme Court of
Speaker 1: the United States. They believe, folks, that they are at
Speaker 1: war already, as Jasmine Crockett, Representative Crockett said so adeptly.
Speaker 1: They already believe that we are at war. They already
Speaker 1: see any opposition as enemy forces. So if you believe
Speaker 1: that you are at war, if you no longer see
Speaker 1: the opposition party right as your colleagues from across the
Speaker 1: aisle and you start to see them as the enemy within.
Speaker 1: Believe me that they are going to find a way
Speaker 1: to be able to suspend the Constitution to usher in autocracy,
Speaker 1: and I honestly don't know who is going to stop them.
Speaker 1: And this is where we are. So while Democrats again
Speaker 1: want to have conversations about what Biden should or should
Speaker 1: not have done, Republicans are getting ready to take power
Speaker 1: and never let it go. And then what so, folks,
Speaker 1: we are in for it. And I encourage people to
Speaker 1: be paying attention to what is happening around the world
Speaker 1: right now. You know, America is very good at existing
Speaker 1: inside of our own siloed bubble because we're so far
Speaker 1: away from everyone else. But there have been bad actors
Speaker 1: that have been taking their cues from Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: unlike in America, other people are managing to hold their
Speaker 1: Trump lights accountable, whereas America has just re elected ours.
Speaker 1: And if that is not wild af I don't honestly
Speaker 1: know what is that is it for me today? Dear
Speaker 1: friends on wokf as always, power to the people and
Speaker 1: to all the people. Power woke and stay woke as fuck.
