Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to ok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your Girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: We've made it to the end of yet another week
Speaker 1: in America that has left my head spinning in so
Speaker 1: many ways on this bucket Friday, and I have so
Speaker 1: many things that I want to say fuck it to,
Speaker 1: but I want to start off today with the coverage
Speaker 1: of the Ocean Gate vessel that you couldn't have avoided
Speaker 1: knowing about if you tried, because clearly, the lives of
Speaker 1: five billionaires is more important than anything else right that
Speaker 1: could possibly be happening. And you know, folks, I know
Speaker 1: that there are gonna be people that are going to
Speaker 1: listen to the comments that I'm making and be you know, offended,
Speaker 1: and say, a life is a life and we should care.
Speaker 1: And I wish that that was the fucking case, right.
Speaker 1: I wish that we honestly did care, and that everybody's
Speaker 1: lives did matter, and that you know, when we were
Speaker 1: to see stories whether or not those people had billions
Speaker 1: of dollars or not, that it would matter, right, that
Speaker 1: it would it would matter what happened to them. But
Speaker 1: what we realize and what we know to be true
Speaker 1: is that in America it doesn't matter, right, So stories
Speaker 1: that people have been comparing this too is five days
Speaker 1: prior to this sub submersible ship going missing, and to
Speaker 1: call it a ship is loose because basically, as many
Speaker 1: have said, it was the size of a minivan, probably
Speaker 1: even smaller than that, in tube form that you couldn't
Speaker 1: stand up in or lay down in, that had about
Speaker 1: a twenty inch window, was controlled by some game device,
Speaker 1: and the CEO boasted about the fact that if you
Speaker 1: care about safety, then you shouldn't go after this quote
Speaker 1: unquote two hundred and fifty thousand dollars adventure, right, And
Speaker 1: of course the CEO is one of the people that
Speaker 1: we now believe after a debris field was discovered by
Speaker 1: coastguard that they may have all perished. But five days
Speaker 1: before this happened, before this caught national attention, dozens, right,
Speaker 1: dozens of people died after a migrant ship sunk off
Speaker 1: of the coast of Greece. And you know, it is
Speaker 1: amazing to me that you would see a vessel filled
Speaker 1: with hundreds of people who are fleeing all types of things,
Speaker 1: folks like, all types of things that apparently you know,
Speaker 1: the countries that they're fleeing to probably were part of
Speaker 1: the fucking problem, right in destabilizing their countries, right, And
Speaker 1: there was no coverage. The only reason why I saw
Speaker 1: the pictures like I'm sure you have now on social
Speaker 1: media with the comparison. And I always thank my friend
Speaker 1: aim and Mohedeen, host of Amen on MSNBC, because it
Speaker 1: was his Instagram post that alerted me to media discribe
Speaker 1: and see in the coverage where you have. As he'd
Speaker 1: said in his caption quote, one of these tragedies at
Speaker 1: sea this week has captivated the attention of global media,
Speaker 1: led to a massive mobilization of multinational resources specialized in
Speaker 1: rescue and recovery, generated global sympathy, and prompted important questions
Speaker 1: about safety and regulations. Can you guess which one? And
Speaker 1: he had the picture of the submersible and the picture
Speaker 1: of the migrant ship. He goes on to say, no,
Speaker 1: this post is not saying we should not do everything
Speaker 1: humanly possible to save everyone, the billionaires and the explorers
Speaker 1: in that Titanic submersible. This post is calling for the
Speaker 1: world everyone to work as tirelessly to save the hundreds
Speaker 1: of migrants who drowned in the Mediterranean as the five
Speaker 1: people that knowingly signed a waiver on the first page
Speaker 1: stating that death was possible. But you had multiple countries organized,
Speaker 1: use outstanding resources over days, with wall to wall media
Speaker 1: coverage to go after five billionaires, but not a fucking
Speaker 1: thing was done for hundreds of migrants. So how do
Speaker 1: we live in a world where we say, right where
Speaker 1: you have Republicans have the audacity to say after black
Speaker 1: lives matter, that all lives matter, and it's let bits
Speaker 1: shut up, No they don't. You don't care about all lives.
Speaker 1: You care about white lives, and you care about wealthy lives.
Speaker 1: That's it. If you fall anywhere outside of that zone,
Speaker 1: you are fucked. And it is just so disgusting and
Speaker 1: so disheartening. It was similarly how I felt about the
Speaker 1: initial coverage of Ukraine. You listen to those reporters as
Speaker 1: the war was beginning, and Ukrainians are fleeing, and it's
Speaker 1: horrible sights of war and tragedy and people picking up
Speaker 1: everything that they can carry and fleeing is a heartbreaking site.
Speaker 1: But why isn't it heartbreaking when it happens to black
Speaker 1: and brown people? Why isn't it heartbreaking that the United
Speaker 1: States has invested money in breaking down countries in order
Speaker 1: to gain their resources, moving around leaders that will work
Speaker 1: to advance their financial interests and not that of those countries.
Speaker 1: And then when those people are forced to flee because
Speaker 1: of instability, you shut your borders and say, no, we're
Speaker 1: not taking them. At least Donald Trump and Republicans are
Speaker 1: fucking honest. We don't want you because you come from
Speaker 1: shithole countries. We don't want you because we'd like those
Speaker 1: nice white folks from nor from Finland and Ukraine and
Speaker 1: what have you, because they look like us and they
Speaker 1: will help bolster our dwindling white population. But let's not
Speaker 1: pretend that we give a shit about war to one
Speaker 1: countries because there are places where we are comfortable seeing
Speaker 1: people desperate and miserable with nothing, because that is the
Speaker 1: image that you have created. So when I look at
Speaker 1: these two pictures of the massive amount of wealth, do
Speaker 1: you understand how much fucking money you have to have
Speaker 1: to not give a fuck about two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's disgusting. The amount of wealth that is
Speaker 1: hoarded at the top could literally change the lives of
Speaker 1: millions of people. It's sick, and yet we as a
Speaker 1: collective global community worship it. Oh, they must be so smart,
Speaker 1: they must be geniuses. No they're not. But we always
Speaker 1: equate wealth with some type of brilliance and that is
Speaker 1: not the case. And then by virtue, right, then also
Speaker 1: equate povered with someone's lack of intellectual capability, which means
Speaker 1: that we have decided that some people are just disposable
Speaker 1: and don't fucking matter. We say in the United States,
Speaker 1: right that we don't have a cast system. You know,
Speaker 1: right now, the President of India is in the United States,
Speaker 1: and Nourendra Modi right is, has been Prime Minister since
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. In two thousand and five, he was not
Speaker 1: allowed to come to the United States because of his
Speaker 1: involvement in a riot that killed one thousand Muslims in India.
Speaker 1: His administration now right over almost the last ten years,
Speaker 1: has been responsible for a religious cleansing that is happening
Speaker 1: in India. But somehow this man has gotten the ability,
Speaker 1: the great privilege to be able to address a joint
Speaker 1: session of Congress, to speak with and be invited to
Speaker 1: the East Room of the White House and for the
Speaker 1: first time has taken questions from reporters because in his
Speaker 1: own country he doesn't do that. What kind of democracy
Speaker 1: doesn't have a free press. But you see, these are
Speaker 1: things that the United States is willing to overlook because
Speaker 1: you know money, because you know, India has resources that
Speaker 1: can be used. So we'll overlook the human rights crisis
Speaker 1: that is happening at the hands of President Modi. And
Speaker 1: then it's amazing to me, right that then reporters of
Speaker 1: this country, yes, some have raised this issue, and you
Speaker 1: have members of Congress like Congresswoman Alexandria A. Cassio Cortez,
Speaker 1: AOC who has said this about Modi. She said, quote,
Speaker 1: I will be boycotting Prime Minister Modi's addressed to Congress,
Speaker 1: and I encourage my colleagues who stand for pluralism, tolerance,
Speaker 1: and freedom of the press to join me in doing
Speaker 1: the same. In two thousand and five, Nourendra Modi was
Speaker 1: denied a US visa because of his violations of religious freedom,
Speaker 1: including his complicity in an anti Muslim riot that left
Speaker 1: over one thousand dead. India currently ranks one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty one out of one hundred and eighty in the
Speaker 1: World Press Freedom Index in part due to Modi's raids
Speaker 1: on BBC India's offices and his court challenges against a
Speaker 1: critical documentary. Additionally, a report from the US Holocaust Museum
Speaker 1: found that India is at high risk for mass killings,
Speaker 1: the eighth most at risk of one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: two countries studied. She goes on to say a joint
Speaker 1: address is among the most prestigious invitations and honors for
Speaker 1: the United Congress can extend, we should not do so
Speaker 1: for individual with deeply troubling human rights records, particularly for
Speaker 1: individuals whom our own State Department has concluded our engage
Speaker 1: in systemic, systematic human rights abuses of religious minorities and
Speaker 1: cast oppressed communities. So then how right, how does President
Speaker 1: Biden invite Mody to the US money? Right, we got
Speaker 1: to get shit built somewhere, and that's all this is
Speaker 1: ever about. But on the same hand, I look at
Speaker 1: Western reporters asking questions of Mody about his human rights
Speaker 1: violations and presiding over a nation that is so poor
Speaker 1: and has such gaps in the haves and the have nots,
Speaker 1: and yet in this country we kind of overlook that shit.
Speaker 1: A black person is four times or more likely to
Speaker 1: die at the hands of police at a traffic stop.
Speaker 1: Black women giving birth are four to five times more
Speaker 1: likely to die in the hospital while giving birth. The
Speaker 1: racial wealth gap in this country is astronomical. Reports on
Speaker 1: a daily basis about homes being devalued because black people
Speaker 1: owned it and losing out on tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars in their ability to build wealth when selling a home. So,
Speaker 1: how do we at all have the right or the place,
Speaker 1: or the frankly, the fucking audacity to call out other
Speaker 1: nations and their human rights and democracy violations without looking
Speaker 1: at our own fucking house you had. President Biden is
Speaker 1: receiving huge backlash for referring to the president of China
Speaker 1: as a dictator. They've taken great offense to what that's
Speaker 1: the follow up question to ask the Chinese quote unquote president,
Speaker 1: ask him about the weaker population, you know, the population
Speaker 1: of Muslim wigers that are in the country that he
Speaker 1: has rounded up and put into internment camps. That he
Speaker 1: has entire agencies that look for wigas that have fled
Speaker 1: to bring them back to put them in internment camps
Speaker 1: in China. So is Biden wrong with what he said. No,
Speaker 1: But when you look around the world, I'm like, who
Speaker 1: is doing it? Fucking well? None of these nations that
Speaker 1: are being led by men and have been led by
Speaker 1: men for so fucking long are doing anything right when
Speaker 1: it comes to human rights. I'm just tired, you know, frankly,
Speaker 1: of just the blatant hypocrisy of it all. Like America
Speaker 1: doesn't get to point fingers without pointing a finger at itself.
Speaker 1: It's actually a disgrace where our country stands right now.
Speaker 1: Do I think that Modive should have been invited to
Speaker 1: the United States, Absolutely fucking not. Do I think that
Speaker 1: more should be being done in order to root out
Speaker 1: racism and white supremacy and creating actual laws that would
Speaker 1: do so, and domestic terrorism in this country? Yeah, is
Speaker 1: it ever gonna happen? No? You know so, My very
Speaker 1: big fuck it today is to capitalism. You know, like
Speaker 1: capitalism a system that requires people to be chained to
Speaker 1: the bottom in order to serve the very very few
Speaker 1: at the top. To have so much wealth and do
Speaker 1: nothing good with it is really wild, And to be
Speaker 1: celebrated like you're some type of fucking god is also
Speaker 1: part of the sickness. And I just wonder, you know,
Speaker 1: what is the solution? Because I see, much like I,
Speaker 1: much like we are living inside the deterior of our democracy.
Speaker 1: We are watching the tear deterioration of capitalism as well.
Speaker 1: You have this push right, you know, go back to work,
Speaker 1: go back to the offices. Why because of money has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with productivity, has everything to do with
Speaker 1: power and money. And if workers, god forbid, workers have
Speaker 1: power over their own lives and how they produce, well,
Speaker 1: my god, what will come next? Everything is about control
Speaker 1: and capitalism is about dangling out little carrots to make
Speaker 1: people feel that if they just work a little harder,
Speaker 1: grind a little more, do a little more of this,
Speaker 1: that and the other thing, than they too are going
Speaker 1: to hit the jackpot of life. It's all a lie.
Speaker 1: The system wasn't built for the majority to have autonomy.
Speaker 1: It was built on an illusion, and we are living
Speaker 1: inside is all the glitches of the matrix that are
Speaker 1: all happening at one time. So yeah, my big fucket
Speaker 1: this week is to capitalism and greed. On so many levels.
Speaker 1: Things are so fucking wrong. And when I dig, and
Speaker 1: I dig and I dig, at the root of it
Speaker 1: is money and power consistent struggle between the haves and
Speaker 1: the have nots, and creating desperate conditions so that you
Speaker 1: limit the thought, you limit the choice that the ninety
Speaker 1: nine percent have. That's the goal, and people need to
Speaker 1: wake the fuck up to it. That is it for
Speaker 1: me today, Dear friends on Woke a f as always,
Speaker 1: power to the people and to all the people. Power,
Speaker 1: get woke and stay woke as fuck.
