Speaker 1: Good morning, Peepsen, Welcome to wok F Daily with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Daniel Moody, recording from the Long Island Home bunks. Folks,
Speaker 1: thinking about what to talk about on this woke Wednesday,
Speaker 1: And if you have been listening to me for years now,
Speaker 1: you know that I often talk about the fact that
Speaker 1: I don't believe in polls, right, particularly since the twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen election that totals that Hillary Clinton was going to win.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in polls. Since the red waves that
Speaker 1: the media was reporting on didn't happen, I lost faith
Speaker 1: in polls. Polls are not an exact science. If anything,
Speaker 1: they provide you with some kind of you know, political
Speaker 1: weather report as to where the winds are blowing right now,
Speaker 1: but they can't tell you the exact time that the
Speaker 1: storm is going to hit. They can't tell you the
Speaker 1: exact conditions of what you are experiencing in that moment, right,
Speaker 1: And so I look at them now the way that
Speaker 1: I look at my horoscope. There is some information that
Speaker 1: is in there that is helpful, right, but it is
Speaker 1: not a directive, right, It is not an actual map. Right. However, However,
Speaker 1: this is a big however, and if you know me,
Speaker 1: which all of you who listen to this show on
Speaker 1: a regular basis, do you know that for me to
Speaker 1: say what I'm about to say means that I am
Speaker 1: significantly worried. Polling shows that Joe Biden with young people,
Speaker 1: people under the age of thirty five, he is down
Speaker 1: not five, not ten, not twenty, not thirty points, but
Speaker 1: fifty five zero. Joe Biden was partly catapulted to the
Speaker 1: presidency in twenty twenty one, deeply because of people's disdain
Speaker 1: and hate for Donald Trump. The fact that during that
Speaker 1: election we did not have a vaccine and people stood
Speaker 1: out in line to vote against Donald Trump, not necessarily
Speaker 1: four Joe Biden, young people in particular. And so here's
Speaker 1: where I am deeply concerned, which is that very same
Speaker 1: demographic that launched Joe Biden and our democracy into the
Speaker 1: future gave us some a little bit four years of
Speaker 1: breathing room as the dragon of fascism and authoritarianism can
Speaker 1: continues to build strength. We had some space, and now
Speaker 1: those very same young people who are four years older,
Speaker 1: seeing the world around them, have decided this ain't their guy.
Speaker 1: Now here's what I want folks to understand from my perspective,
Speaker 1: which is this, I am angry with the Biden administration. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not me pretending that this administration right now,
Speaker 1: as it pertains to their stance and their moves in
Speaker 1: Gaza and Israel, are anything other than abhorn disgusting, dehumanizing,
Speaker 1: and horrible. So let me just be very clear. This stance,
Speaker 1: the idea, the choice that Biden mayd when Israel started
Speaker 1: attacking Gaza following the killing of fourteen hundred Israelis, which
Speaker 1: now the Israelis have killed ten times plus that amount
Speaker 1: right in Gaza, Innocent people, innocent children, half of which
Speaker 1: half of which of those that have been murdered are
Speaker 1: kids because half of the population of Gaza is children.
Speaker 1: How is Israel doing this our fucking tax dollars that
Speaker 1: have been funding that country since its formation Republican and
Speaker 1: Democrats alike. However, just like with most things, which is
Speaker 1: why Republicans are so hell bent on distorting and destroying
Speaker 1: any other evidence of facts and real history, the more
Speaker 1: that people learn about this crisis that they don't by way,
Speaker 1: have to be a foreign affairs expert to understand, the
Speaker 1: more that they're like, how are we saying that we
Speaker 1: are a democracy helping to defend democracy in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: with a country that has two sets of license plates,
Speaker 1: two different types of roads, different levels of security, protection
Speaker 1: and rights for its citizens. That sounds eerily familiar to
Speaker 1: something that we fought, marched, and people died for in
Speaker 1: this country and that did not end right legally until
Speaker 1: the passing of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about this country only having an actual
Speaker 1: democracy America for something like close to sixty years. When
Speaker 1: I look at Israel and Gaza, when I visited Israel,
Speaker 1: was not able to go into Gaza because at that
Speaker 1: time tensions had flared in twenty fifteen and there were
Speaker 1: attacks that were happening. But I went to the West Bank,
Speaker 1: I went to Ramaala, I went to Jerusalem, I went
Speaker 1: to East Jerusalem, I went to Hebraun. What I saw
Speaker 1: looked like everything that I had learned in the history
Speaker 1: books that I thought that America was against. So now
Speaker 1: when you learn that not only is America not against that,
Speaker 1: but your tax dollars are going to fund it, and
Speaker 1: folks are just waking up and getting hip to that
Speaker 1: fact because recognizing that corporate media has been sanitizing write
Speaker 1: their coverage, and that the coverage is incredibly one sided,
Speaker 1: and so you're not able to get a full picture
Speaker 1: and then make an informed analysis of your own. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be angry, you're gonna feel hoodwinked, you're gonna
Speaker 1: feel bamboozled. So I get the feelings, folks, because I
Speaker 1: have them too. That being said, let me paint the
Speaker 1: other picture of what is happening right now in this country.
Speaker 1: The Republican Party installed in the House of Representatives as
Speaker 1: their speaker, an anti democratic theocrat that makes The Handmaids
Speaker 1: Tail look like a documentary. This is a man, Mike Johnson,
Speaker 1: who was two heart beats away from the White House,
Speaker 1: that believes in theocracy, that says to people that the
Speaker 1: values in tenants that we had as a nation in
Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds is what we need to reinstitute. Just
Speaker 1: a reminder for those that may not understand the timeline
Speaker 1: that is a time when women were not considered people.
Speaker 1: Black people sure as fuck, were not considered people because
Speaker 1: the slave trade was still happening. The only people that
Speaker 1: had rights and a voice were white Christian men. No
Speaker 1: one else mattered. James Carville just recently posted up on
Speaker 1: a joy read, Repat posted this interview where he said
Speaker 1: that to shrug off what these white evangelical Christians are saying,
Speaker 1: to not understand that McCarthy, Johnson, McConnell, all of these
Speaker 1: folks that are in power, that hold the levels of power,
Speaker 1: want a theocracy. You see the story of Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: and his son and their story about monitoring each other's
Speaker 1: porn intake. That's the kind of spying that they want
Speaker 1: the government to be able to do on the rest
Speaker 1: of us to make sure that we are not, you know,
Speaker 1: advancing let's say LGBTQ tendencies. Right, there's a town in Tennessee,
Speaker 1: just to make you all aware, that just voted to
Speaker 1: make it a legal to be gay in public. Google it.
Speaker 1: These things are happening, bit by bit. It doesn't just
Speaker 1: end with anti abortion policies. It doesn't just end with
Speaker 1: policing people with uteruses. It doesn't just end with banning
Speaker 1: books that show representation outside of the white supremaist power structure.
Speaker 1: It doesn't end there. That is the beginning. I continue
Speaker 1: to say on every single platform that I have that
Speaker 1: Hitler did not start with the concentration camps. He ended
Speaker 1: with them. How it started was with clearly identifying an
Speaker 1: enemy and defining it to the people, much in the
Speaker 1: same way that Donald Trump is now referring to his
Speaker 1: political opponents as verse that need to be exterminated. When
Speaker 1: he's referring to undocumented immigrants as tainting the blood of
Speaker 1: this country, right, that just hearkens back to no race mingling, right,
Speaker 1: and the push to continue segregation. When he begins to
Speaker 1: refer to people as less than human, it is planting
Speaker 1: the seeds so that when actions, violent actions, cruel actions
Speaker 1: are taken against those groups of people, then everyone else
Speaker 1: will look the other way. Does that sound familiar as
Speaker 1: to what is happening right now in Israel and Gaza.
Speaker 1: If you can paint every Palestinian person as being affiliated
Speaker 1: with terrorism, as being barbarians, saying things like flatten Gaza
Speaker 1: on the house fucking floor, then you can take whatever
Speaker 1: actions you want to against that community because you've already
Speaker 1: separated them from their humanity, which makes them easier to
Speaker 1: get rid of and no one give a fuck. The
Speaker 1: reason why you have the Republican Party, which is filled
Speaker 1: with anti Semites cheering on what is happening in Israel
Speaker 1: and Gaza is because that is what they want the
Speaker 1: ability to do in the United States, and trust me,
Speaker 1: they will do when they have the power and authority
Speaker 1: to do so. Now folks will say, DINIEO, stop being hyperbolic.
Speaker 1: We have rules and we have laws. Oh is that right?
Speaker 1: You mean like the law that we had for fifty
Speaker 1: years that said that women and people with uteruses had
Speaker 1: the rights to control their body. You mean that law?
Speaker 1: You mean the civil rights law, the Voting Rights Act
Speaker 1: that said that historically and traditionally racist states with anti
Speaker 1: discriminatory and anti black policies had to have preclearance in
Speaker 1: order to change their voting rights law so that they
Speaker 1: were not intentionally suppressing the votes of black people. You
Speaker 1: mean that law that the Supreme Court got it. The
Speaker 1: laws are only as good as the people that are
Speaker 1: willing to continue to enforce them. So when we say that, oh,
Speaker 1: those things could never happen here, the presumption and the
Speaker 1: assumption and wrongfully so, that people are making is that
Speaker 1: we have some type of fail safe, some type of
Speaker 1: guard rail, which the four years under Donald Trump showed
Speaker 1: us that we absolutely do not. We don't. And just
Speaker 1: to be clear that all of the testing of the
Speaker 1: fences that that administration did, like that scene in Jurassic
Speaker 1: Park right where the most dangerous in caged dinosaur was
Speaker 1: testing the security fences to see which ones were the weakest.
Speaker 1: That's what the Trump first term did. And so the
Speaker 1: people that they had in place, like a Bill Barr
Speaker 1: and a Jeff Sessions and a General Madis and all
Speaker 1: of these people who now with their fucking tell all
Speaker 1: books say that, well, they did their best right to
Speaker 1: just kind of bend the Constitution but not completely burn
Speaker 1: it the way that Mark Meadows did documents in his
Speaker 1: office the day of the insurrection. Those people will not
Speaker 1: be inside of a Trump administration two points I know.
Speaker 1: They will be filled with the Mike Johnsons of the
Speaker 1: world and the other one hundred and forty six Republicans
Speaker 1: that voted to decertify the election in twenty twenty after
Speaker 1: after their lives were put at risk because, like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump said on the day of the insurrection, they're not
Speaker 1: here to hurt me. That's what those Republicans believe. So
Speaker 1: when we say these things could never happen here, the
Speaker 1: question that you have is whose responsibility is it going
Speaker 1: to be to make sure that it doesn't happen because
Speaker 1: the assumption is that we're all working on the same
Speaker 1: set of laws and values. We don't anymore. The Republican
Speaker 1: Party and Donald Trump made sure of that we don't
Speaker 1: share the same idea the rule of law. Their idea
Speaker 1: of the rule of law is government being able to
Speaker 1: dictate what you read, what you say, what you think,
Speaker 1: how you fuck, where you love, who you love, where
Speaker 1: you live. Right, you had members of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: in the House saying that they want to end right
Speaker 1: on the stage at one of the debates, saying that
Speaker 1: they want to end birthright citizenship. Turn that into a
Speaker 1: test like the literacy tests that they had in the
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties to deny black people the right to vote.
Speaker 1: Like that, guess how many marbles are in this jar test.
Speaker 1: You had the vech Ramasami say, you know what, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to vote until you're twenty five and
Speaker 1: have served in the military, neither of which he did. Right,
Speaker 1: And you may say, well, the that's never going to
Speaker 1: be president. That doesn't mean that the hateful idea is
Speaker 1: that he's spewed as a way to get attention. That
Speaker 1: somebody who does make it into power, like a Donald
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't say, you know what, that wasn't a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Our laws are only as good as the people that
Speaker 1: are willing to enforce them. They have already put in
Speaker 1: place a right wing fascist Supreme Court, a six to
Speaker 1: three court that all you have to do is continue
Speaker 1: to bring cases the way right that they started with
Speaker 1: affirmative action. And now it's not just about schools and
Speaker 1: who will let in schools. It's about venture capitalist funds,
Speaker 1: it's about grants, it's about business. It's about asserting and
Speaker 1: maintaining white supremacy and doing it quote unquote legally. To
Speaker 1: remind you, the way that segregation and slavery were also legal,
Speaker 1: the way that the Holocaust was all soap legal, the
Speaker 1: way that apartheid was also legal. How did it happen?
Speaker 1: You put the right people in place, That's how it happens.
Speaker 1: So I go back to the beginning, to the polls,
Speaker 1: and I make a clarion call to everyone that is
Speaker 1: listening to this, and all the people that you know
Speaker 1: that listen to you, your friends, your family, your colleagues,
Speaker 1: your kids. Now is not the time to be silent.
Speaker 1: We have the opportunity to criticize and push the Biden
Speaker 1: administration because they still believe in the constitution. You will
Speaker 1: not have that ability and that right if there is
Speaker 1: any Republican that comes into the executive branch, if any
Speaker 1: Republican is able to take control of the Senate on
Speaker 1: top of already having the House. Do you understand what
Speaker 1: is at stake here is our liberty, our freedom, and
Speaker 1: our lives. And this is not hyperbolic, folks. Look around.
Speaker 1: Argentina just had an election where they just elected a
Speaker 1: man that they call crazy, the madman, the loco, and
Speaker 1: they compare him to Donald Trump. And do you know
Speaker 1: who ushered in that far right leader? Young people? So
Speaker 1: when I say to you right now, less than twelve
Speaker 1: months write twelve months out from the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is fifty fucking points down, that is
Speaker 1: caused for fucking concern because that means that the weather
Speaker 1: system that we are looking at twelve months down the
Speaker 1: road doesn't look fucking good. So if we do not
Speaker 1: push and challenge this administration to shift courses and to
Speaker 1: double triple and quadruple down on democracy in this goddamn
Speaker 1: country and have their foreign policy match what it is
Speaker 1: that they're fucking saying here, because you can't have it
Speaker 1: both ways. You can't talk about saving the soul of
Speaker 1: the nation in America and then ripping the souls from
Speaker 1: people's bodies in Palestine. You can't do that. You can't
Speaker 1: talk about justice and democracy and self determination here and
Speaker 1: look away at what is happening in the Congo. You see,
Speaker 1: technology has allowed the world to shrink in many ways,
Speaker 1: where we are seeing in real time what is happening
Speaker 1: right where you can pull up any social media platform
Speaker 1: and the videos and the images that are coming in
Speaker 1: in real time and tell people what to look away.
Speaker 1: Don't believe you're lying eyes believe the words that are
Speaker 1: coming out of my mouth. I don't think so. So
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday, what I'm saying to folks is we
Speaker 1: are truly not just in this country, but if America falls,
Speaker 1: everything else falls. And we have been seeing one domino
Speaker 1: after the next with each far right win that we
Speaker 1: are seeing happen globally. The world already had to contest
Speaker 1: with four years of Donald Trump, who pulled us out
Speaker 1: of commissions and you know, establishments that we had had
Speaker 1: with our allies to realign with North Korea and Russia.
Speaker 1: So what the fuck do you think is gonna happen
Speaker 1: the next time around? It will be our last election
Speaker 1: because the Heritage Foundation, which has put billion dollars behind
Speaker 1: their twenty twenty five plan. Go to Heritagefoundation dot org
Speaker 1: and look at it, because it is not hiding. It
Speaker 1: is in full fucking view what they plan to do
Speaker 1: in the first one hundred days. And our democracy is
Speaker 1: done because you know what will happen. You say, oh,
Speaker 1: the people will revolt. They run the military, and the
Speaker 1: only reason why the military did not fall under Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is because you had those generals, those sergeants, those
Speaker 1: people that were in place that he will wipe the
Speaker 1: fuck out. You already have right in the Senate that
Speaker 1: one motherfucker that is denying the appointments under the Biden
Speaker 1: administration of the leaders of our military. Why do you
Speaker 1: think that he is doing that. It isn't just because
Speaker 1: of his stands on abortion and the abortion protections that
Speaker 1: the military affords service members with uteruses. It's to make
Speaker 1: sure that those that are at the tippy tippy top
Speaker 1: are not appointed by a Democrat. Wake up, y'all. I
Speaker 1: can't express it enough on this woke Wednesday. We are
Speaker 1: in fucking danger. We are in Dane jur and we
Speaker 1: cannot pretend right or look away from who has the
Speaker 1: microphone in the Republican Party. Right now, this is beyond
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The virus has spread beyond him, two heart
Speaker 1: beats away from the White House, from the executive branch,
Speaker 1: from the nuclear buttons is a white supremacist, anti democratic theocrat.
Speaker 1: That is a major fucking win for them. And they
Speaker 1: are not done yet. They are relentless. So we do
Speaker 1: not have room to protest, vote. We do not have
Speaker 1: room to think that, oh well, I'm gonna get Joe
Speaker 1: Biden and I'm gonna stay my ass home. Recognize that
Speaker 1: that home will be taken over by theocrats. That the
Speaker 1: liberties that you are enjoying right now, that are shrinking
Speaker 1: by the day, will be fucking done first they came for.
Speaker 1: Remember that that is it for me today, Dear friends,
Speaker 1: on wokef as always, Power to the people and to
Speaker 1: all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
