Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to OOKP Daily with me
Speaker 1: your girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker friends.
Speaker 1: You know, today was trying to figure out, like what
Speaker 1: should I talk about, because there's just so much right,
Speaker 1: They're just so much that is frustrating me, that is
Speaker 1: angering me, that is enraging me, that is inducing grief.
Speaker 1: But I do want to focus today on today's woke
Speaker 1: Wednesday about the Biden administration. I posted on threads and
Speaker 1: for those of you who follow me on social which
Speaker 1: I know that there are a bunch of you who
Speaker 1: do I post it on threads, and I don't post
Speaker 1: a lot on either of those kind of written platforms anymore.
Speaker 1: I do most of my posting on Instagram, but I
Speaker 1: post it on threads and and what I said was
Speaker 1: something to the effect of a quote tweet that I
Speaker 1: had about the fact that this administration, if they do
Speaker 1: not get their shit together, as it pertains to people's
Speaker 1: collective outrage about funding this war on behalf of Israel
Speaker 1: against Sibelians, over ten thousand of which have been killed
Speaker 1: right now, more than half of them being children, that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden will lose this election and that does he
Speaker 1: want this to be his legacy. I posted that. I
Speaker 1: also posted a video in my stories by a white
Speaker 1: gentleman on TikTok who was clapping back against many creators
Speaker 1: right that he's coming across that are referring to Joe
Speaker 1: Biden as genocidal Joe. Genocide Joe is what they are
Speaker 1: calling him in social media. And he said, regardless of
Speaker 1: what how deeply he differs with this president on this war,
Speaker 1: that he's like, the alternative is to usher in fascism
Speaker 1: and theocracy into America and I cannot This is from
Speaker 1: this gentleman's TikTok. He said, I cannot in good faith
Speaker 1: tell my kids that I allowed this country to slip
Speaker 1: into fascism and theocracy because I disagreed with the current
Speaker 1: administration's stance on this war. He goes, it is not
Speaker 1: as cut and dry right as people are making it seem.
Speaker 1: And so here's what I want to articulate today, which seemingly,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously social media has absolutely no nuance. You
Speaker 1: have a finite amount of space. But there is somebody
Speaker 1: who listens to me on a regular basis that says,
Speaker 1: how dare I essentially make these comments and pin you
Speaker 1: know what is happening in Israel, and godza on Joe
Speaker 1: Biden that how can you pin something that is happening
Speaker 1: in another country on this president. Let me break it
Speaker 1: down so that folks understand, right, and if you don't
Speaker 1: believe me, then go do your own research outside of
Speaker 1: just listening to this show. Right. I encourage everybody to
Speaker 1: do that all the time. The fact is this America,
Speaker 1: not just under Joe Biden, and not just under Democrats,
Speaker 1: but Democrats and Republicans alike, have been footing the bill,
Speaker 1: meaning our tax dollars have been footing the bill for Israel,
Speaker 1: the quote unquote only democracy in the Middle East since
Speaker 1: it was established. Right, The fact is that we American
Speaker 1: taxpayers send billions, multi billions of dollars a year to
Speaker 1: support Israel's defense. We send weapons to support Israel's defense because,
Speaker 1: as every Western nation has said, Israel has a right
Speaker 1: to defend itself. What it does not have the right
Speaker 1: to do. And let me state this boldly and clearly,
Speaker 1: is killed ten thousand civilians right, No, it doesn't have
Speaker 1: the right to do that, just like Hamas did not
Speaker 1: have the right to kill over fourteen hundred Israelis and
Speaker 1: kidnap hundreds of others understand that Hamas is not a
Speaker 1: nation state. It is a terrorist organization, right that is
Speaker 1: funded by partly Iran. Israel unlike Hamas, because Hamas is
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization, is not and has never needed to
Speaker 1: abide by international law like a nation state actually does.
Speaker 1: Israel is not abiding by those fucking laws. And we
Speaker 1: fucking know it. Why because we have two goddamn eyes
Speaker 1: and two goddamn ears. And regardless of the bullshit that
Speaker 1: is coming out of everyone's fucking mouths, the people around
Speaker 1: the world see what the fuck is happening, which is
Speaker 1: why just this week in New York City they shut
Speaker 1: down Jewish Voices for Peace, shut down the fucking Statue
Speaker 1: of Liberty, calling for a ceasepire. It's why you see
Speaker 1: people from Indonesia to the UK, to France, to Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And other cities and nations around the world
Speaker 1: standing up against and inhumane law breaking. Is rarely administration
Speaker 1: whose own minister said that dropping an atomic bomb is
Speaker 1: not out of the question. After the statement with regard
Speaker 1: to dropping an atomic bomb not being out of the question,
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Natanyahu of course had to walk back those
Speaker 1: statements and say that that was never on the table,
Speaker 1: regardless of whether the bombs bombs that are being dropped
Speaker 1: or atomic or not. We know that chemical weapons are
Speaker 1: being used, which breaks international law. We know that civilians
Speaker 1: are being targeted, which breaks international law. We know that
Speaker 1: hospitals are being targeted, which breaks international law. We know
Speaker 1: that there is an inability to get humanitarian aid in
Speaker 1: which breaks international law. We know that Gaza is pretty
Speaker 1: much a open air prison with the inability of free movement.
Speaker 1: So even if the people wanted to flee, which they
Speaker 1: fucking do, they can't because the borders on either side
Speaker 1: are shut down. Also, a few weeks ago, if you
Speaker 1: remember when Netanyahu said, you have twenty four hours, two
Speaker 1: million people, twenty four hours to move from the north
Speaker 1: to the south. Will you'll be safe? He's now bombing
Speaker 1: the south. So where are those people supposed to go? Nowhere?
Speaker 1: They don't actually give a fuck. So why do I
Speaker 1: say all of this? Oh? I don't know. Because without
Speaker 1: the United States billions of dollars a fucking year, they
Speaker 1: would not have the resources to orchestrate this type of
Speaker 1: military attack. That's what we know. And the bullshit narrative
Speaker 1: that is being stated that says, well, Hamas is using
Speaker 1: these people as human shields. So your response would be, then,
Speaker 1: what to blow through those civilian human shields because you
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna blow up your way to peace
Speaker 1: and stability and security. That's not how it fucking works.
Speaker 1: It's not how it has ever worked. And speaking of
Speaker 1: the tons of bombs being dropped, the massive destruction that
Speaker 1: has already been caused, the massive amounts of death that
Speaker 1: has already happened in less than a month, right is
Speaker 1: almost just as bad, and by the time that it's
Speaker 1: all said and done, probably worse than what took place
Speaker 1: in Hiroshima, just without the radiation. But if you're using
Speaker 1: chemical fucking weapons, we know that something's going to go awry,
Speaker 1: whether it happens in a year, ten years, or twenty years. Folks.
Speaker 1: I state this all the time when I talk about
Speaker 1: these issues. I am not a foreign affairs expert. I
Speaker 1: am not a historian. I am a black queer woman
Speaker 1: that lives inside of America and knows injustice when I
Speaker 1: fucking see it. I also visit it Israel and Palestine,
Speaker 1: the West Bank, Jerusalem, Hebron, Ramala, and I saw with
Speaker 1: my own eyes, the conditions that you couldn't tell me
Speaker 1: is anything less than a democracy, right, Think about your
Speaker 1: history books or whatever is left to them, and what
Speaker 1: you learned about Jim Crow, which you learned about apartheid
Speaker 1: in South Africa, Think about that. Let those pictures funnel
Speaker 1: through your brain. And for anybody who's had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to go to the quote unquote only democracy in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, it don't line up, is what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: The titles democracy and what I saw with my own
Speaker 1: fucking eyes don't line up. So right now, Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who for his entire first term has been unable to
Speaker 1: climb his way out of the low forties, and approval
Speaker 1: ratings has dropped down into the mid thirties. And while
Speaker 1: I tell you all the time not to pay attention
Speaker 1: to polls, particularly this early out, but what I will
Speaker 1: say is much in the same way that that your
Speaker 1: horoscope astrology doesn't tell you everything that you need to know,
Speaker 1: but kind of gives you a better understanding or some
Speaker 1: kind of understanding of personality traits or why things react
Speaker 1: this way. Blah blah blah blah. This is the same
Speaker 1: way that looking at these numbers vote for Biden right now,
Speaker 1: when genocide Joe is trending in places like TikTok, where
Speaker 1: young voters are when your pull numbers are dropping, and
Speaker 1: in swing states, Donald Trump four times indicted ninety one
Speaker 1: charges is somehow five points ahead. Something clearly is not
Speaker 1: aligning right, Something clearly is not making fucking sense. So
Speaker 1: Joe Biden deciding to jump the gun and hop on
Speaker 1: a plane to go hug up on net and Yahoo
Speaker 1: is probably one of the images that if his policies
Speaker 1: don't change, and instead of calling for a pause, he
Speaker 1: is calling for a full on cease fire and time
Speaker 1: to do some diplomatic negotiations to not be associated with
Speaker 1: the entire massacre of an entire population of fucking people
Speaker 1: who have no ability to defend themselves. Maybe maybe there
Speaker 1: will be time for people to recognize that, Okay, he
Speaker 1: is making a pivot, right, he is recognizing that, oh,
Speaker 1: actually this isn't at all going How I thought that
Speaker 1: this was going to go. More children, more people have died.
Speaker 1: Right in the last three weeks, then we have witnessed
Speaker 1: I think in the first fucking year of Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 1: You guys do the math through the googling. But I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that anyone who cares about the state of
Speaker 1: our humanity believes that wiping ten thousand people from the
Speaker 1: fucking planet is the way that we get to liberation here.
Speaker 1: It's not. Martin Luther King said darkness cannot drive out darkness.
Speaker 1: Only light can do that. And what I believe is
Speaker 1: happening is that light is being shed on where America
Speaker 1: has been standing. You know what'd your Lord once said?
Speaker 1: And it was a quote that was going around on
Speaker 1: social media that stated that we are citizens in this country,
Speaker 1: in the United States, of one of the most powerful nations,
Speaker 1: or at least you know, we're backsliding and probably you know,
Speaker 1: will be off of a cliff soon. We're currently, though,
Speaker 1: still citizens of one of the most powerful nations that
Speaker 1: has always been on the wrong side of liberation movements,
Speaker 1: has always been on the wrong side from slavery till now.
Speaker 1: What does that say? I know what it says right
Speaker 1: now that collectively, hundreds of thousands, millions of people across
Speaker 1: the world, across this country, are using their voices and
Speaker 1: their platforms to say enough death. We've seen enough death.
Speaker 1: We've seen enough dead babies being held up to cameras
Speaker 1: right because the President of the United States said, I
Speaker 1: don't believe the Palestinians and their numbers. You mean, the
Speaker 1: same numbers that you've been using for decades. Now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you don't believe them because they're not
Speaker 1: saying what you want them to say. I have never
Speaker 1: been under the false impression that America does not do dirt, horrible,
Speaker 1: disgusting things around the world. What is different about this
Speaker 1: time is that we're all watching it happen in real time,
Speaker 1: that we're not waiting for the news to funnel things
Speaker 1: through to us, that we are seeing it and witnessing
Speaker 1: it firsthand, and that the idea that we should not
Speaker 1: believe our lying eyes but the words that are coming
Speaker 1: out of some of these politicians' mouths, is just not
Speaker 1: jiving with us anymore. Let me be very clear in
Speaker 1: state that the alternative is Satan. I need to work
Speaker 1: with a kind of politician that can be worked with,
Speaker 1: and I believe that Biden is that. I believe that
Speaker 1: Biden is led astray right now, but I believe that
Speaker 1: he is somebody that you can actually work with. The
Speaker 1: alternative is the fucking Handmaid's Tale and Donald Trump weaponizing
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, right, weaponizing the military, right, basically
Speaker 1: doing right, watching what Putin does, what Netan Yahoo is doing,
Speaker 1: what Ergodonda like, watching all of these people and saying, oh,
Speaker 1: hold by beer, just wait until I'm elected again. So
Speaker 1: this is that not at all saying don't vote for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. What it is saying is that I need
Speaker 1: people to wake the fuck up and realize that there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are considering sitting this
Speaker 1: election out because of what they are seeing and pretending
Speaker 1: that that is not the case, or just shrugging our
Speaker 1: shoulders and saying fuck them is going to fuck all
Speaker 1: of us. So just maybe maybe we want to start
Speaker 1: paying attention right, We want to start acknowledging that how
Speaker 1: we feel about just holding our nose or swallowing or
Speaker 1: doing whatever it is that you need to do in
Speaker 1: order to ensure a Trump presidency or any fucking of
Speaker 1: those piece of trash Republicans don't become president of the
Speaker 1: United States. There are people who are willing to say, oh,
Speaker 1: let's just burn it all down because they are not
Speaker 1: really connecting. Fucking disaster not just for us here but
Speaker 1: globally Republicans introduced legislation to kick out Palestinians from this country,
Speaker 1: those that were born here. Do you understand? So, if
Speaker 1: they have a Donald Trump or someone who wants to
Speaker 1: imitate him in the White House, what will stop them
Speaker 1: from getting rid of anybody from ripping up your birth
Speaker 1: certificate and saying you have to prove that you're an
Speaker 1: American and that means your allegiance wholeheartedly to white supremacy,
Speaker 1: rite and patriarchy. You think people that look like me,
Speaker 1: that love like me, write, people that pray differently are
Speaker 1: going to be included in that? I don't fucking think so.
Speaker 1: So while my anger is absolutely fucking real, I want
Speaker 1: people to understand that the choices right now are still
Speaker 1: very obvious. It's American fascism, theocracy, and parable of the
Speaker 1: sewer and Talent Octavia Butler's nineteen ninety three book series
Speaker 1: coming to life in a very real fucking way. Or
Speaker 1: being able to admonish and push a president that still
Speaker 1: believes in the values and the sanity of the Constitution.
Speaker 1: Those are a fucking options. So I need folks to
Speaker 1: get on board. Don't just shrug, don't just say flippantly,
Speaker 1: oh what does what does what is happening in Israel
Speaker 1: have to do with the twenty twenty four election, Folks,
Speaker 1: Wake the fuck up and Generation Z that people want
Speaker 1: to just shrug at there who help save Biden's ass
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty Right millennials right who are now forty,
Speaker 1: who are having kids, have kids. It is not about
Speaker 1: oh I'm gonna They're looking for alternatives. And we saw
Speaker 1: what happened with Jill Stein in twenty fucking sixteen. Let's
Speaker 1: not make the same goddamn mistake again. That is it
Speaker 1: for me today, dear friends, on this woke Wednesday, As always,
Speaker 1: power to the people and to all all the people. Power,
Speaker 1: get woke and stay will the spot
