Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to bookay f Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody COVID free recording from the
Speaker 1: Home Bunker. Folks, you know, I want to start up
Speaker 1: today with a couple of thoughts and reflections on the news,
Speaker 1: on the fact that even with the twenty first anniversary
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, which we acknowledged over the weekend,
Speaker 1: even with that, the media could not pull its fucking
Speaker 1: attention away from coverage of the United Kingdom and the
Speaker 1: death of Queen Elizabeth. I have no idea where this
Speaker 1: motherfucking fascination and obsession with the wall to wall coverage
Speaker 1: is coming from. I've even heard from anchors themselves that
Speaker 1: are over doing the wall to wall coverage of this.
Speaker 1: This is not Britain, we are not part of the Commonwealth.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I believe that America developed
Speaker 1: because of its desire to be rid of the fucking monarchy.
Speaker 1: So the obsession makes no fucking sense, particularly when we
Speaker 1: have been hearing from African nations, Caribbean nations, from those
Speaker 1: black indigenous people of color who had to endure under
Speaker 1: the seventy year rain of Queen Elizabeth, had to endure
Speaker 1: British colonization and brutality for centuries, many of which are
Speaker 1: still not independent today. And so, you know, it would
Speaker 1: be one thing if we were using this opportunity to
Speaker 1: shed a light onto the lack of modernization as it
Speaker 1: pertains to our understanding of royalty by virtue of some
Speaker 1: motherfucking bloodline that is filled with incest, rape and all
Speaker 1: of these things, that somehow you ascend to greatness better
Speaker 1: than any working person. Right. I just you know, and
Speaker 1: I say this because my family, right, as many of
Speaker 1: you know, is Jamaican. My family came to the United
Speaker 1: States in nineteen seventy and you know, Jamaica, as many
Speaker 1: Caribbean islands are, are part of the fucking British Commonwealth.
Speaker 1: So they grew up indoctrinated and loving the Queen. And
Speaker 1: you hear are these people talk about, you know, this
Speaker 1: benevolent cream Queen. Then you hear others who are making
Speaker 1: it very clear, under no uncertain terms, that they are
Speaker 1: not interesting. They are not in a place of mourning
Speaker 1: right where many are actually in a place of celebration.
Speaker 1: And I will say this that you know, I posted
Speaker 1: a couple of videos to TikTok and if you're not
Speaker 1: following me there, you should, Danielle Moody Underscore because that
Speaker 1: is probably my livest social media platform where I really
Speaker 1: do just pop all the way off. And you know,
Speaker 1: I did a video about you know, the fact that
Speaker 1: you don't get to and by you, I mean white
Speaker 1: mainstream media and I mean the white world globally this
Speaker 1: get to dictate to black indigenous people of color how
Speaker 1: they should mourn their oppressor. And I had many a
Speaker 1: people chime in, some that are from Britain or at
Speaker 1: least claim to be, and saying that I don't know
Speaker 1: anything about history, that you know that the Queen had
Speaker 1: no power, She's just a figurehead. And I want to
Speaker 1: say to those people, google me, bitch, because if you
Speaker 1: don't think that I understand public relations, that I don't
Speaker 1: understand the power of figureheads and the power of words,
Speaker 1: then clearly you know nothing about me, my work or
Speaker 1: my platform. I will also say that there is power
Speaker 1: that figureheads absolutely do have. For instance, the royal family
Speaker 1: had an opportunity when Prince Harry married Meghan Markle, the
Speaker 1: biracial divorce actress whom he married and then stood by
Speaker 1: for four years while she was verbally abused by the
Speaker 1: British media when asked when she asked for help because
Speaker 1: she started having suicidal ideations, not under the influence of anything,
Speaker 1: just you know, having to see your name drag through
Speaker 1: the mud every fucking day, relentlessly, and you start to
Speaker 1: absorb that. No matter if you choose to turn off
Speaker 1: social media, if you choose to turn off the TV,
Speaker 1: that shit still seeps in. I want people to think
Speaker 1: about your own social media platforms and that one time
Speaker 1: that you tweeted something or posted something that a large
Speaker 1: group of people disagreed with. It could have been thirty,
Speaker 1: it could have been three hundred, it could have been
Speaker 1: three thousand, right, And I want you to think about
Speaker 1: how you felt on that day and the days following that.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to multiply that by a billion
Speaker 1: and see how you would be able to continue to
Speaker 1: lift your head up, stand up straight, and not allow
Speaker 1: those words to seep into your being. And they had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to signal solidarity, to link arms with their
Speaker 1: newest member and say we don't tolerate racism, that while
Speaker 1: our own monarch was founded on brutality, was founded on
Speaker 1: the slave trade right, that we are taking a stand
Speaker 1: right now as a United Royal family that this type
Speaker 1: of insidious, disgusting and vile treatment will not be tolerated.
Speaker 1: Not only that, but we're going to dedicate our work
Speaker 1: moving forward right to decolonization, to anti racist work that
Speaker 1: we're maybe going to use the money that we've stolen
Speaker 1: for generations and we're going to start talking about and
Speaker 1: coming up with plans alongside Parliament about redistribution. Conversations matter,
Speaker 1: particularly when they are being articulated from the quote unquote Crown.
Speaker 1: They show not to they chose to sit silent, and
Speaker 1: so you know when I see this fucking coverage and
Speaker 1: again missed opportunity, as often mainstream media has a missed
Speaker 1: opportunity in using this time to talk about genocide, to
Speaker 1: talk about apartheide, to talk about sovereignty, to talk about
Speaker 1: the power of independence and independent voices and nations. But
Speaker 1: alas that would you know, spark more conversation and actually
Speaker 1: signal that newsrooms care and we know that that is
Speaker 1: not the case. How do we know because you look
Speaker 1: no further than oh, I don't know the fact that
Speaker 1: they helped Donald Trump become president of the United States,
Speaker 1: that instead of asking hard questions to Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: to his administration for their lives, for their thievery, for
Speaker 1: all of the ways in which they broke the law
Speaker 1: or assisted Donald Trump and breaking the law. Instead, they
Speaker 1: opened up their doors and allowed those people from the
Speaker 1: Trump administration to get nice, plush, cushy jobs in media
Speaker 1: so that they could continue their bullshit. This is why
Speaker 1: I have to say to folks. You know, I've had
Speaker 1: my television off for the last week, right, I've just
Speaker 1: been reading the news and listening to the news because
Speaker 1: I can't watch it because what we're seeing isn't news.
Speaker 1: You would think that all problems have been solved, that
Speaker 1: Mississippi has a million civil engineers working on the restoration
Speaker 1: of their water system. You would think that billions and
Speaker 1: billions and billions of doll worth of aid have been
Speaker 1: given to Pakistan so that they can rebuild a third
Speaker 1: of their country which is now destroyed. You would think
Speaker 1: that climate change has been tackled. You would think that
Speaker 1: racism in policing had been tackled. You would think that
Speaker 1: all of these things were done. If you watched the
Speaker 1: news and what they were covering, and to go back
Speaker 1: to my earlier point, you would think that one of
Speaker 1: the most devastating days since Pearl Harbor in these United
Speaker 1: States would be worthy of all day coverage, of a
Speaker 1: week's worth of reflection leading up and leading after. You
Speaker 1: would think that, But no, it was a blip on
Speaker 1: the screen. It's so funny to me that we consistently
Speaker 1: have these hashtags that say hashtag never forget. As it
Speaker 1: pertains to the over three thousand people that were murdered
Speaker 1: on nine Oven right, never forget. We barely have time
Speaker 1: to provide you with a full segment never forget. But
Speaker 1: mind you, in comparison, at the height of COVID, we
Speaker 1: were losing three thousand plus people a day, and we
Speaker 1: don't even talk about the ripple effecting consequences to that.
Speaker 1: It is disgusting, It is ghastly. It is outrageous the
Speaker 1: way that mainstream media operates, and I continue to say that,
Speaker 1: you know, I wish that there were more public outlets
Speaker 1: for media outside of MPR and outside of PBS. I
Speaker 1: wish that we could actually rely on the media to
Speaker 1: do what it was intended to do, which was to
Speaker 1: educate the public instead of make more money for CEOs
Speaker 1: and shareholders instead of their bullshit around both sides, that
Speaker 1: they would recognize how powerful their jobs are. As the
Speaker 1: Fourth Estate, which I wrote for media a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the fourth Estate is crumbling. It is absurd
Speaker 1: to me that we're in this place, and even again
Speaker 1: thinking about the fact that mid term elections are coming
Speaker 1: up in fifty six days, the most consequential midterm elections
Speaker 1: of the modern error. And I say that because even
Speaker 1: though the polling is showing that Democrats are gaining ground,
Speaker 1: most recently, Joe Biden's poll numbers apparently in a recent
Speaker 1: poll jumped six percent. He's now at forty nine percent
Speaker 1: approval rating because of the fucking bang up job the
Speaker 1: Biden administration did this summer. Because they were able to
Speaker 1: walk and chew gum at the same time, they were
Speaker 1: able to pass consequential legislation and begin to go after
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, which we will get to in a minute.
Speaker 1: But the way that the media covers the Biden administration
Speaker 1: is not at all on par with the fucking fluff
Speaker 1: jobs and consistent motherfucking coverage that they gave Donald Trump
Speaker 1: over four years. Oh, let us not tell the truth
Speaker 1: about the viciousness of that administration, about the racism embedded
Speaker 1: in that administration. Oh for fear that it will look
Speaker 1: like we're opinionators, bitch, That is the truth. And if
Speaker 1: you don't know the difference between opinionating and providing people
Speaker 1: with factual information that actually does affect their day to
Speaker 1: day lives, that actually would affect how people interact with
Speaker 1: and participate with their government. You've had Joe Biden give
Speaker 1: an enormous speech, probably one of his most important speeches,
Speaker 1: about the soul of this nation, about quote unquote maga Republicans, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, the only issue that I had with
Speaker 1: that speech was the distinction that he wanted to make
Speaker 1: between maga Republicans and the entirety of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: They are one and the same. There is no lyne
Speaker 1: to be drawn with the Republicans. You can work with
Speaker 1: no if you support Donald Trump, if you continue to
Speaker 1: support Donald Trump, if you support fascism and authoritarianism, and
Speaker 1: you're still running candidates who are election deniers, then you
Speaker 1: are a munga Republican. Done. Do you know that that
Speaker 1: speech was not covered by mainstream media? But do you
Speaker 1: know whose speech that they did cover in its entirety?
Speaker 1: King Charles the fucking third, What the fuck does that
Speaker 1: speech have to do with America? Not a goddamn thing,
Speaker 1: But all of network television made sure that that was
Speaker 1: broadcast far and wide. Our own president, however, talking about
Speaker 1: domestic terrorism and what we are face sing right now,
Speaker 1: that ship was optional. So who do you think that
Speaker 1: media is in cahoots with? It's sure as fuck? Is
Speaker 1: it the quote unquote liberal media? Which are all the
Speaker 1: tears that Republicans like to cry? Oh my god, they
Speaker 1: don't treat us fairly because they ask us questions about
Speaker 1: all of the illegal criminal activity that we're up to.

Speaker 1: Let me switch gears to talk about Donald Trump, So judge.
Speaker 1: A lean cannon who is unqualified for her job was
Speaker 1: jammed through and seeded by Mitch McConnell after the election
Speaker 1: to her lifetime federal appointment for good reason, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: because she is the one woman fucking obstacle between the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and their investigation into the fact that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump held classified information that is not his own
Speaker 1: personal fucking information to have that he and his team
Speaker 1: of lawyers lied about having that information. Then it turns
Speaker 1: out that it wasn't just any classified information, it was
Speaker 1: nuclear assets that foreign nations are holding and their locations,
Speaker 1: not to mention whatever else is inside of there. Every
Speaker 1: single legal mind of merit on both folks, both the
Speaker 1: left and the right, are like, what the fuck is
Speaker 1: this woman doing? This is about America's national security. This
Speaker 1: is about our relationship, our continued relationship with our allies.
Speaker 1: Who is going to be providing America with pertinent critical
Speaker 1: information that we need in order to quote unquote keep
Speaker 1: the world safe if we don't mind our own documents,
Speaker 1: who's gonna do that? But this whole will let the
Speaker 1: special Master review signals to the country that you don't
Speaker 1: you don't trust the Department of Justice, right, oh, because
Speaker 1: we don't trust you to review these documents that are
Speaker 1: actually a property of the United States. So we're going
Speaker 1: to bring in a special Master to then slow down
Speaker 1: this investigation for how many months? And I'm just curious. Again.
Speaker 1: We know that Judge I A Leen Eileen, I don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck. Cannon doesn't deserve her job, is unqualified
Speaker 1: for her job, shouldn't be in this position. We know
Speaker 1: why she was put in this position. And we're all
Speaker 1: just continuing to operate by the rules and laws that
Speaker 1: Republicans and Donald Trump don't operate by. And I'm just confused.
Speaker 1: If they're not going to follow the law, why the
Speaker 1: fuck should the rest of us. There are people right
Speaker 1: now who worked at the Department of Justice that had mishandling,
Speaker 1: charged with mishandling of documents, that are serving five plus
Speaker 1: years in federal prison for offenses less than what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is being investigated over. But where is Donald Trump today?
Speaker 1: Golfing in Virginia? You tell me why the fuck when
Speaker 1: that piece of shit's plane touched down in the DC
Speaker 1: metropolitan area. Why he wasn't picked up by the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice. Why handcuffs still evade this motherfucker. We cannot
Speaker 1: continue to tell Americans that no one is above the law.
Speaker 1: And the mountain of evidence continue to grow against Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and also his own lawyers who are lawyering up
Speaker 1: because they know that if in front of a credible
Speaker 1: fucking judge, they're in trouble. How is it not asked
Speaker 1: that this person recused themselves. I would take a fucking
Speaker 1: Bush appointed judge, even if you don't. You don't want
Speaker 1: an Obama judge, great, fine, I'll take a Bush appointed judge,
Speaker 1: any Bush appointed judge over the bullshit people that were
Speaker 1: put on the courts by Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Another story for you. All that house has me completely
Speaker 1: fucking outdone. Chief Justice Roberts, according to article in Axios,
Speaker 1: defends the Supreme Court's legitimacy ahead of its new term,
Speaker 1: and in it he says this, the Court can face criticism,
Speaker 1: but quote simply because people disagree with opinions is not
Speaker 1: a basis for questioning the legitimacy of the Court. CNN
Speaker 1: reports news flash for Justice John Roberts, it is not
Speaker 1: because of your recent non legal opinions that you pushed
Speaker 1: out from justices who swore that precedent was precedent. Is
Speaker 1: the reason we don't believe in the legitimacy of the court.
Speaker 1: Let me give you the reasons we don't believe in
Speaker 1: the legitimacy of the Court outside of the fact that
Speaker 1: you have a Supreme Court that has overturned fifty year
Speaker 1: precedent and one hundred year precedent when we are talking
Speaker 1: about state's ability to be able to regulate guns, right,
Speaker 1: because it's okay to kick down abortion to the states
Speaker 1: and let the states decide what a woman can and
Speaker 1: cannot do with her body, but then on the same time,
Speaker 1: flip that motherfucker coin and then you won't allow states
Speaker 1: to decide who can and cannot have an assault fucking rifle.
Speaker 1: I digress, But let me tell you the three fucking
Speaker 1: reasons why your Court Justice John Roberts is illegitimate. Reason
Speaker 1: Number one, Amy Covid Barrett was jammed through after Joe
Speaker 1: Biden legitimately won the twenty twenty election, and in the
Speaker 1: time that the election passed and inauguration came, Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: jammed through her placement on the bench in thirty fucking days.
Speaker 1: Another person that literally has no business being on the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court other than a document that she wrote for
Speaker 1: the Federalist Society that Donald Trump liked. That's one. Number two.
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh, yet another illegitimate justice. The FBI received over
Speaker 1: forty five hundred tips on that alleged sexual predator that
Speaker 1: they then decided not to invest the gate, but instead
Speaker 1: brought to the White House for Donald Trump to place
Speaker 1: inside of a draw. That alleged fucking rapist doesn't belong
Speaker 1: on the court either. That's two number three, Justice Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas and his fucking insurrectionist ass wife and their relationship
Speaker 1: with John Eastman, who was the architect of the insurrection.
Speaker 1: The fact that we know via email that Jenny Thomas
Speaker 1: was trying to get electors in both Wisconsin and Arizona
Speaker 1: thrown out, that she was on the hotline with Mark Meadows,
Speaker 1: Trump's former chief of staff to get him to delegitimize
Speaker 1: the election, and the fact that she is involved in
Speaker 1: the tempted overthrow of our democracy. And the fact that oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Clarence Thomas was the lone descent in
Speaker 1: a decision to not open up Donald Trump's phone records
Speaker 1: because he was afraid that Jenny's numbers would be revealed. Well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because these people are clearly above the law.
Speaker 1: Jenny Thomas has only been asked if she's willing to
Speaker 1: testify before the January sixth committee. She hasn't been hauled
Speaker 1: in from motherfucking questioning. So Justice John Roberts, save me
Speaker 1: and miss me with your bullshit about the fact that
Speaker 1: we are only calling this Supreme Court illegitimate because of
Speaker 1: its decisions. Yes, because of decisions being made by people
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be on the fucking bench to begin with.
Speaker 1: That's why. So just know that that is going to
Speaker 1: be your legacy. But what do we care. We don't
Speaker 1: teach history in this country anyway. Folks. If you want
