Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to wik f Daily with
Speaker 1: me your Girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: Happy woke Wednesday. We have made it to the middle
Speaker 1: of the week. And what I want to talk about today,
Speaker 1: it's not several headline stories. It's one story. It's one
Speaker 1: story that is being manipulated and a narrative that is
Speaker 1: being generated that is largely alive. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the uprisings that are happening on college campuses across
Speaker 1: this country right now. I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: encampments that are being built to force the administration of
Speaker 1: these universities Columbia and why you and others to divest
Speaker 1: from Israel. Now, first off, what I will say is
Speaker 1: that I don't condone violence, any violence of any sort.
Speaker 1: And I think that the reports that there have been
Speaker 1: violence are largely not from the students that have been
Speaker 1: setting up hence and taking over you know, halls and
Speaker 1: you know, community centers and what have you on campus.
Speaker 1: So let us start there. What I will say for
Speaker 1: those that are like, oh, these young people don't know anything.
Speaker 1: This has been this conflict is seventy five years old,
Speaker 1: and like what have you. You know what's funny is
Speaker 1: that every generation is moved by young people. It's not
Speaker 1: the fucking old people who have all these things to
Speaker 1: lose their power, their privilege, write their purpose. It is
Speaker 1: always the young people. The young people that are sitting
Speaker 1: in at lunch counters, the young people that are standing
Speaker 1: in front of tanks, the young people that are doing
Speaker 1: sit ins and marches and pushing the generation that is
Speaker 1: supposed to be leading them. Write the elder generations to
Speaker 1: do better by them because they're getting ready to inherit.
Speaker 1: Write a hot, steaming pile of fucking trash. And so
Speaker 1: every generation has had young people who have born witness
Speaker 1: to those that are in power abuse that power for
Speaker 1: their own good right or for the good of their cronies,
Speaker 1: and build up their oligarchs right and build up their coffers,
Speaker 1: all at the expense of the collective. We now, what
Speaker 1: young people are recognizing now on these college campuses is
Speaker 1: exactly what the fuck their parents sent them to college for.
Speaker 1: To think critically, to ask questions about the world around
Speaker 1: them and about the society that they are now going
Speaker 1: to be full adults in and participate in. And these
Speaker 1: young people are looking around and saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: capitalism seems like a fucking Ponzi scheme? Right? This all
Speaker 1: rise and grind and work till we're dead, and then
Speaker 1: we pay taxes. But our taxes go to things that
Speaker 1: we don't agree with or want or need. But we're
Speaker 1: told that this is how it's always been, so this
Speaker 1: is how it will always be. And how dare you
Speaker 1: decide to raise your voice to push against the grain.
Speaker 1: This is why they want to take books out of
Speaker 1: the classroom. This is why they want to shut down libraries.
Speaker 1: This is why they want to take away TikTok because
Speaker 1: you see what happens when people get woke. What happens
Speaker 1: when people gain a level of consciousness is that they
Speaker 1: are not easily put back to sleep. Now, how generations
Speaker 1: before have been put back to sleep, have been pacified
Speaker 1: if you will, Right, has been the allure, the mirage
Speaker 1: right of the American dream? Why do I call it
Speaker 1: a mirage? Well, dear friends, because the closer you get
Speaker 1: to it, the farther away it seems right that you
Speaker 1: realize that in order to have this dream, well, you
Speaker 1: have to succumb to a certain amount of debt in
Speaker 1: order to keep up with your neighbors, or in order
Speaker 1: to get a home in that cul de sac, or
Speaker 1: to get a home all together. But how do you
Speaker 1: do that when now, right the very college that you're
Speaker 1: attending is somewhere in the six fuck figures. So whether
Speaker 1: your parents or your family have quote unquote good jobs,
Speaker 1: y'all are going into debt regardless, because who the fuck
Speaker 1: in this day and age has one hundred grand to
Speaker 1: come off of comfortably? Nobody but the rich, right, So
Speaker 1: talk to me again about what we don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: what I know is that under Donald Trump, he added
Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars to the deficit so that he could
Speaker 1: give his friends greater tax breaks so that they could
Speaker 1: pay zero taxes in the same way that he does,
Speaker 1: because they're too smart, right, Because we have always equated
Speaker 1: somehow wealth with genius. No, we should equate super wealth
Speaker 1: with fucking greed and depravity, because that's what the fuck
Speaker 1: it is. Because when you have motherfuckers sitting on hundreds
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars or billions of dollars and there
Speaker 1: are other people that can't afford to eat, there is
Speaker 1: something that is wrong with society, not something wrong with
Speaker 1: those that are circling the drain of poverty. So these
Speaker 1: young people that are sitting around and they're saying, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, So you're telling me that my family, I
Speaker 1: am going into debt that I will never be able
Speaker 1: to work myself out of because I got to take
Speaker 1: the first good job that has healthcare attached to it,
Speaker 1: even though they're gonna underpay me and overwork me, because
Speaker 1: that's just how you climb up the corporate ladder. So
Speaker 1: they're supposed to want just sit there and watch as
Speaker 1: their universities. No, they don't invest right in them. No,
Speaker 1: they send that money away just like our taxes. They're
Speaker 1: not investing in us. We got bridges that are crumbling.
Speaker 1: We got subway stations that are like a canal when
Speaker 1: it rains. Here in New York City. We have schools
Speaker 1: that have books and equipment from whether I was in
Speaker 1: middle school and high school. So tell me again about
Speaker 1: how this country is investing in me. And you know
Speaker 1: what we want to talk about these folks, and let
Speaker 1: me let me let me say something that is going
Speaker 1: to be controversial, right. There have been several people that
Speaker 1: have burned themselves alive, self immolated right over the course
Speaker 1: of the last year, and we want to say that
Speaker 1: these people are crazy, right, We want to say, who
Speaker 1: would do such a thing? You know, who would do
Speaker 1: such a thing? Desperate people, Desperate people that see a
Speaker 1: world around them that has gone absolutely fucking met And
Speaker 1: so in order to pause that world, to pause that
Speaker 1: crazy for a moment, they do an incredible, extraordinarily violent
Speaker 1: act to have us take pause and ask ourselves what
Speaker 1: the fuck is going on? Right? They want to say
Speaker 1: that the man Max who just lit himself up in
Speaker 1: New York City outside of Donald Trump's trial, he threw
Speaker 1: up anti government pamphlets into the air that he had
Speaker 1: gotten increasingly erratic and spouting off things like the government
Speaker 1: is a Ponzi scheme? What did I just say at
Speaker 1: the top of this show? Show me where the fucking
Speaker 1: lie is. You pay into a system that doesn't pay
Speaker 1: you back. You pay into a system that tells you
Speaker 1: that you have to spend forty fifty years grinding yourself
Speaker 1: for what ten years of a minuscule check, right that
Speaker 1: they don't even want to give you. That every generation
Speaker 1: that is getting set to retire is retiring by crossing
Speaker 1: their fingers and their toes. Do you know how many
Speaker 1: fucking advertisements come up on television about health care and
Speaker 1: life insurance and all of these things. Do you know
Speaker 1: what they don't do in other developed countries that do
Speaker 1: you know why? Because they've invested in a social safety net,
Speaker 1: because they care about their people, because they know that
Speaker 1: the people are not just working for themselves, but they're
Speaker 1: working for the country. Right, so the country then owes
Speaker 1: them something. Not in America. No, we tell you that
Speaker 1: if you want what you put back, right, if you
Speaker 1: want what you put in back, we tell you right
Speaker 1: that you're lazy, that you're just looking for a handout.
Speaker 1: But you see those fucking millionaires and billionaires that are
Speaker 1: lined up around right, the IRS and the Department of Treasury,
Speaker 1: What the fuck do you think that they're getting? The
Speaker 1: only one making out right are the millionaires and billionaires
Speaker 1: because they right have lawyers that weave them in and
Speaker 1: out of the fucking loopholes. The rest of us that
Speaker 1: loopholes a fucking noose. So miss me with the bullshit
Speaker 1: about oh, it's conspiracy, is it right? Is it a
Speaker 1: conspiracy to start putting the dots together, start connecting them
Speaker 1: and seeing the greater picture that no one is looking
Speaker 1: out for the betterment, for the expansion of a middle class.
Speaker 1: That the right, right, and they're war on DEI and
Speaker 1: critical race theory is taking away scholarships left and right
Speaker 1: for black students, knowing that in many ways that's the
Speaker 1: way that black and brown people get a higher education. Right,
Speaker 1: you want to cut financial aid, you want to cut
Speaker 1: away so what are you creating a permanent fucking working class,
Speaker 1: So that you remind right, these honorary black folks and
Speaker 1: brown folks what their position is in America, which is
Speaker 1: on the bottom. You remind women what their position is, right,
Speaker 1: which is at home with their legs open and their
Speaker 1: mouths fucking shut. So you want to tell me again
Speaker 1: that these young people that are waking up to the
Speaker 1: realities that are going on around them, You want to
Speaker 1: tell me then I'll know what they're talking about. You
Speaker 1: want to tell me that they should shut up and
Speaker 1: just go back to school and learn how great America is. Nah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. We've seen this routine before, right
Speaker 1: where the government gets to decide who the enemy is,
Speaker 1: the oppressor gets to decide who the enemy is. Do
Speaker 1: you know what the enemy really is? Consciousness? That's why
Speaker 1: the right went to war on woke. Everything is woke,
Speaker 1: This is wo blah blah blah, because they want fucking sheep, right,
Speaker 1: they want you to be part of the herd. And
Speaker 1: so any time that there are breaks, right, that there
Speaker 1: is a divergence from the parade of work and sleep
Speaker 1: and work and sleep and taxes and death. Anytime that
Speaker 1: there is a break that people want to make in
Speaker 1: that cycle, Oh, they're gonna come in and drop the
Speaker 1: hammer down. Police are gonna line up. They got more
Speaker 1: police presence, right to push back again, some fucking eighteen,
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty year olds. Where the fuck were the
Speaker 1: police on January sixth? Right, where was that militarized presence
Speaker 1: on January sixth when the real danger and the real
Speaker 1: fucking threat came. So you want to tell people that
Speaker 1: they're stupid. You want to tell us don't connect the docs, right,
Speaker 1: because the picture that we're seeing is too fucking scary
Speaker 1: that when we start to ask questions, you tell us
Speaker 1: that we're conspiracy theorists. You tell us that we're hysterical,
Speaker 1: that we're being hyperbolic. Oh, it won't be that bad,
Speaker 1: Give me a fucking break. The only people that are
Speaker 1: making sense right now are the students on these college campuses.
Speaker 1: Because I'm telling you that sitting down every single day,
Speaker 1: putting on this microphone right trying to make sense of
Speaker 1: the absolute maddening crazy that we are living in right now,
Speaker 1: and then going about my day and pretending all is okay.
Speaker 1: That's what's fucking nuts. Not deciding to sit down and
Speaker 1: fucking stop and say, you know what, Almost thirty five
Speaker 1: thousand people have been murdered. Babies have been blown up,
Speaker 1: Hospitals have been blown up, people are being starved to death,
Speaker 1: are being cut out of their mother's wounds without any
Speaker 1: fucking medication. But we're supposed to go on like, all
Speaker 1: is okay. Do you know what got me last week?
Speaker 1: Y'o and I talked about this, but I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it again. It was the act of self immolation
Speaker 1: that the reporters witnessed. You're looking at these people, You're
Speaker 1: seeing the horror on their faces. Near feet away from them,
Speaker 1: a man downses himself in an accelerant and lights himself
Speaker 1: on fire. They report on it and then go right
Speaker 1: back to talking about Donald Trump. Lord, have mercy the humanity.
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. Those reporters right, because they're doing
Speaker 1: what they've been trained to do. What about the rest
Speaker 1: of us? Do we take pause? Do we take a
Speaker 1: minute and recognize what the fuck is going on? So
Speaker 1: these young people who are being arrested in mass who
Speaker 1: are being thrown out of school, who are risking their futures,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are gonna lead us to the
Speaker 1: other side. They're the ones with courage. They're the ones
Speaker 1: with the grit, with the readiness understanding that we are
Speaker 1: at a situation. We are at a moment, dear friends,
Speaker 1: when we don't have anything left to lose. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Accept more right? People keep telling me, well,
Speaker 1: you know, how, how are you telling people to vote
Speaker 1: for Biden? And how when when all of this is
Speaker 1: going on in this administrator. Let me tell you something
Speaker 1: about this administration. It ain't my fucking favorite. Anybody who
Speaker 1: listens to me knows that the decisions that they are
Speaker 1: making are going to cost us our democracy. But like
Speaker 1: I have been saying since the fucking beginning, I'm not
Speaker 1: voting for Joe Biden. I'm voting for myself. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: voting for another four years to hang the fuck on
Speaker 1: to give us more time to figure out how to
Speaker 1: stomp out fucking white supremacy extremism in this country. I
Speaker 1: am voting to bide time. I'm not voting for by Den.
Speaker 1: Do you understand there is a huge difference between those things.
Speaker 1: Multiple things can be true at the same fucking time.
Speaker 1: We are at a breaking point in this country and
Speaker 1: in this world. The old systems are not holding. There
Speaker 1: is so much questioning going on that they want to
Speaker 1: take away our ability to communicate and share information with
Speaker 1: one another. They want to do so under the guise
Speaker 1: of oh the Chinese spy. Talk to me about the
Speaker 1: Patriot Act. Talk to me about Meta, talk to me
Speaker 1: about Google. Talk to me about the fucking phone that
Speaker 1: I'm recording this video on spy on us. The United
Speaker 1: States has been spying on us since forever. Talk to
Speaker 1: the Black Panthers. Talk to Martin Luther King Junior. Talk
Speaker 1: to Malcolm X. The CIA and the FBI have been
Speaker 1: ben infiltrating any liberation movements. They don't infiltrate white supremacists
Speaker 1: because they are the white supremaists, so they're surely as
Speaker 1: hell not going to take down their own. But any
Speaker 1: time that there is a movement that is growing and
Speaker 1: gaining steam in this country that is about interlocking arms
Speaker 1: and issues and focus. Oh, they snuff it out. So
Speaker 1: right now, they're gonna tell you that all these kids
Speaker 1: on these college campuses that are setting up these encampments,
Speaker 1: that they're terrorists, that they're anti Semitic. You know why
Speaker 1: they're doing that so that you stop listening to them,
Speaker 1: so that when you see them brutalize, you say, oh,
Speaker 1: it serves them good. They've done it to black people
Speaker 1: all our fucking lives. Call us animals, call us savages,
Speaker 1: call us thugs, call us dangerous, so that when we
Speaker 1: are taken down right, Oh, it is about safety. Don't
Speaker 1: fall for the ropodope, folks, because this country, this corporatized
Speaker 1: mainstream media, they are on some bullshit, and that bullshit
Speaker 1: is about misinformation, diverting your attention and giving you that
Speaker 1: tranquilizer of Oh, if you're good, you too can claim
Speaker 1: the American dream. If you're good, maybe we'll cancel your
Speaker 1: student loan debt. If you're good, maybe you'll get that
Speaker 1: good job. Right, And then you have the folks that
Speaker 1: are sitting in their cul desects, sitting in their homes,
Speaker 1: and they're saying, oh, these kids these days, you know,
Speaker 1: they're lazy, they're this, they're that. When I was their age,
Speaker 1: when you were their age, what a home costs five dollars.
Speaker 1: Your bosses used to give you raises because you got
Speaker 1: your wives pregnant. We're not the same folks. All I
Speaker 1: have to say is that they are working over time,
Speaker 1: double time, and triple time to put you back to sleep.
Speaker 1: Stay woke. That is it for me today. Dear friends
Speaker 1: on Woke af AS, always power to the people and
Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke
Speaker 1: as fuck.
