Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: there are some Wednesdays where I struggle to come up with,
Speaker 1: you know, what's the story, what's the thing that we
Speaker 1: should focus on that other you know, mainstream media outlets
Speaker 1: are not covering that I want to bring to you,
Speaker 1: or you know, how am I feeling these days about,
Speaker 1: you know, living inside a croubling democracy and how that's
Speaker 1: taking its toll emotionally. But today I came across a
Speaker 1: story y'all that just I started crying, And you know
Speaker 1: you're going to be like, well, which one? Because there
Speaker 1: are just so many heartbreaking stories. There's stories of you know,
Speaker 1: Palestinian children being blown to pieces. There's stories of you know,
Speaker 1: just the abhorrent, disgusting genocides that are taking place on
Speaker 1: multiple continents. We are focusing on what is happening in Gaza,
Speaker 1: but there is also the Congo, there is also Soudan.
Speaker 1: There's so many fucking places where there is pain. Today's story, however,
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus domestically because the media does a
Speaker 1: terrible job in connecting the dots between the hateful, fucking
Speaker 1: rhetoric that comes out of the mouths of Republicans and
Speaker 1: acts of violence. Right, there's always this, you know, for
Speaker 1: legal reasons. Let us pretend that when Nicky Haley, right, uh,
Speaker 1: speaks at a town hall and she wants to attack
Speaker 1: young trans people who just want to play sports, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, is like one percent of you know,
Speaker 1: the popular not even one percent of the population, right,
Speaker 1: but one percent maybe of the population of kids who
Speaker 1: play sports. And I think it's probably like point zero
Speaker 1: zero something. But when these Republicans like Nicki Haley, like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, like Rob Rob DeSantis, Ron Greg Abbott and others,
Speaker 1: state representatives and official school board members create policies to
Speaker 1: not just marginalize, but these poes are basically the green
Speaker 1: light to bullies, whether they be students or teachers or
Speaker 1: administrators in schools, to abuse non binary and trans youth. Which,
Speaker 1: if you've been listening to me for quite some time, right,
Speaker 1: you already know that trans kids, non binary kids LGBTQ
Speaker 1: kids are doubly likely to commit suicide or attempt suicide
Speaker 1: then their straight peers. Right, They are more likely to
Speaker 1: be homeless than their straight peers. So when I came
Speaker 1: across the story of Next Benedict out of Oklahoma, and
Speaker 1: I came across the story on lgbtqation dot com because
Speaker 1: the story is yet to make it into the mainstream
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it will. I hope that
Speaker 1: it does, but I don't know. I was sick to
Speaker 1: my stomach, like absolutely sick to my stomach, and I
Speaker 1: want to tell you this story right now, and I'm
Speaker 1: just going to read you a piece of the article
Speaker 1: because I don't want to miss anything and I don't
Speaker 1: want to get anything wrong, and I want you all
Speaker 1: to be very clear about what happened Next Benedict. This
Speaker 1: is according to LGBTQ nation dot com and the story
Speaker 1: is entitled teen beaten to death in a school bathroom
Speaker 1: bullying attack. The school didn't call an ambulance. The non
Speaker 1: binary teen was killed in a school targeted by on
Speaker 1: line hate activists. The stories written by Daniel Villereal Next
Speaker 1: Benedict and non binary Native American sixteen year old sophomore
Speaker 1: was repeatedly beaten to death on February seventh by three
Speaker 1: older female students in the bathroom of Oaso High School
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma. The school refused to call an ambulance for
Speaker 1: the injured teen and didn't inform police of the attack
Speaker 1: until Benedict was later admitted into the hospital. They died
Speaker 1: from the injuries the next day. Web commentators are blaming
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's top educational official, Ryan Walters for Benedict's death, as
Speaker 1: Walters has pushed inflammatory, anti LGBTQ plus rhetoric during his tenure.
Speaker 1: Walters also recently hired an anti LGBTQ s Q hate activist,
Speaker 1: Chaia Reischek, who goes by libs of TikTok on social media,
Speaker 1: for a state school book banning committee after she targeted
Speaker 1: the OASO School District for employing a pro LGBTQ plus
Speaker 1: teacher who was later fired. Quote. I know at one
Speaker 1: point one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating
Speaker 1: Benedict's head across the floor, a person who identified herself
Speaker 1: as the friend of Benedict's mother, even though a teacher
Speaker 1: eventually walked into the bathroom to stop the fight. The
Speaker 1: friend added she couldn't walk to the nurses station on
Speaker 1: her own, and staff didn't call the ambulance, which amazes me.
Speaker 1: The story goes on, though the hospital released Benedict on
Speaker 1: the same day of the attack. They returned to the
Speaker 1: hospital the following day and then died while hospitalized. The
Speaker 1: friend said that the teen's death was caused by quote
Speaker 1: complications from brain trauma. The school and OsO Police Department
Speaker 1: have both refused to comment, as the investigation in the
Speaker 1: teen's death is ongoing. In a letter to parents, OASO
Speaker 1: Public Schools said it was increasing security personnel, updating safety
Speaker 1: drills and its rules on disciplinary violations and whull supervision,
Speaker 1: and providing additional student resources, including on campus counselors to
Speaker 1: speak with students distressed over the murder. A go fundme
Speaker 1: crowdfunding campaign raised twenty seven thousand, eight hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six dollars for costs associated with Benedict's death before no
Speaker 1: longer accepting donations. A memorial service for Benedict was held
Speaker 1: at Maori Funeral Service Chapel on February fifteenth. The article
Speaker 1: goes on, folks to talk about this child, this sixteen
Speaker 1: year old child, next Benedict, the things they liked, the
Speaker 1: cat that they had, the hobbies that they had, and
Speaker 1: what can you say about something like this? Much in
Speaker 1: the same way that Republicans after every mass murder with
Speaker 1: a gun, every mass shooting, they want to tell us
Speaker 1: now is not the time to be political. This child
Speaker 1: was murdered because they're non binary. Because that person Chia
Speaker 1: Racheck Libs of TikTok, the fucking homophobe transfo piece of
Speaker 1: garbage who targeted that very school, was then hired by
Speaker 1: the top education official to lead their book banning and
Speaker 1: their what witch hunt for LGBTQ teachers and administrators to
Speaker 1: create the hostile environment that would then kill this team
Speaker 1: and have school authorities do nothing, not call an ambulance,
Speaker 1: not call the police. This is a hate crime. Not
Speaker 1: only should those fucking kids be charged with murder, so
Speaker 1: should the school. So should the top education official, Ryan Walters,
Speaker 1: so should try or write check you see, because nothing
Speaker 1: is gonna stop these people until they have to pay
Speaker 1: penalties for their quote unquote rhetoric. These words are violence.
Speaker 1: They give people the permission to be their fucking worst
Speaker 1: when it is coming from elected officials up on high.
Speaker 1: These are the examples that these children have. They're told
Speaker 1: that LGBTQ people are predators, that they're groomers, that they're
Speaker 1: on godlike, that they're animals, that they're disgusting, and then
Speaker 1: they take those words, they load them up, and they
Speaker 1: act on them with horrific acts of violence like this
Speaker 1: one that cost next Benedict their lives sixteen years old.
Speaker 1: Why isn't this story mainstream news? This isn't just queer news.
Speaker 1: This is about the kind of country, the kind of
Speaker 1: fucking poison that Trump is unleashed around this country, the
Speaker 1: permission that his grotesque rhetoric gave for these quote unquote
Speaker 1: Christians to be their worst fucking selves. This story breaks
Speaker 1: my heart because you know what's gonna happen more of
Speaker 1: this Donald Trump becomes president of the United States again.
Speaker 1: The Heritage Foundation has announced that one of their first
Speaker 1: acts will be to name America a Christian nationalist country.
Speaker 1: What they are telling you every single day, it is
Speaker 1: not a secret. It's not in some secret documents hidden
Speaker 1: in a bathroom. It's right up on the Heritage Foundation
Speaker 1: dot org. Their project twenty twenty five to undo democracy
Speaker 1: civil liberties in this country. They have their own LinkedIn
Speaker 1: filled with twenty thousand plus people just waiting in the
Speaker 1: wings to not swear an allegiance to the Constitution, but
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump and probably to their Christian white God.
Speaker 1: You know, the one that sanctioned slavery, the one that
Speaker 1: sanctioned the beating of your children and your wives, the
Speaker 1: one that is about subjugation and domination. People want to
Speaker 1: talk to me about what is happening in Gazo, which
Speaker 1: I talk about on a regular fucking basis. I know
Speaker 1: what's happening. I know that it's horrific. I know that
Speaker 1: it is hell on earth that is being created and
Speaker 1: funded by the United States of America. I know that
Speaker 1: just recently, once again, the United States objected to an
Speaker 1: immediate ceasefire because clearly, not enough children have been murdered,
Speaker 1: not enough civilians have been killed yet. But I want
Speaker 1: you to understand that we are between a rock and
Speaker 1: a hard place right now. Not that administration. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because you can call for a fucking ceasefire. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about us, the voting public, because if we do not
Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden, who is the only Democrat that
Speaker 1: is running for president of these United States, then what
Speaker 1: is happening and what has been happening over the last
Speaker 1: seventy five years in Gaza, will happen in the United
Speaker 1: States and there will be no stopping it because all
Speaker 1: of the people, the heads of military, the heads of state,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, there will be no one to appeal to,
Speaker 1: because the Heritage Foundations Project twenty twenty five will make
Speaker 1: sure that the only people that are in positions of
Speaker 1: power are Trump loyalists, ones that are loyal to the
Speaker 1: cause of Christian nationalism. So you cannot fight for democracy
Speaker 1: if you lose your own. You cannot appeal to people's
Speaker 1: morality and humanity when they have none, When in the
Speaker 1: place of their hearts lie an empty, vacant, voided black hole.
Speaker 1: We are in serious fucking trouble. Next, Benedict, this sixteen
Speaker 1: year old child, I pray to God as a Canarian
Speaker 1: a coal mine to open up people's eyes to what
Speaker 1: the fuck will be happening in this country again. Why
Speaker 1: do I say again? Because lynching wasn't a crime because
Speaker 1: you could go down streets and see black bodies hanging.
Speaker 1: This is not a joke. This is not a oh
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get them next time. This is about our lives.
Speaker 1: This is about young trans children's lie, black children's lives,
Speaker 1: little girls who want to grow up to be something
Speaker 1: other than somebody's wife chained to a kitchen with no
Speaker 1: choices about their future. Because if you think that what
Speaker 1: Alabama just did by outlawing IVF and if you don't know,
Speaker 1: go to my TikTok and my Instagram page where I
Speaker 1: put up a video that the Alabama Supreme Court just
Speaker 1: outlawed in vitro fertilization saying that embryos have personhood, and
Speaker 1: their chief justice of that Alabama Supreme Court, oh, he
Speaker 1: quoted the Bible in the decision that they made. There's
Speaker 1: no separation between church and state, and if the Christo
Speaker 1: fascist habits way, there never will be again. So what
Speaker 1: do you think that they're gonna come for? Next? Birth control?
Speaker 1: All forms? So what future does that give girls and
Speaker 1: children with uteruses in this country? It gives them none.
Speaker 1: Then what do you think that they'll go after much
Speaker 1: like they're doing with the black venture capitalists, they'll go
Speaker 1: after funding for HBCUs. They'll defund those universities because they
Speaker 1: don't want black people educated. They want them broken and submissive,
Speaker 1: with nothing satisfied with the scraps. They are coming for
Speaker 1: every fucking thing. They are not mincing words, they are
Speaker 1: not using euphemisms. They are saying it out loud. And
Speaker 1: proudly what they want America to be. The question is
Speaker 1: what do we want America to be? Because let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, just being anti their shit is not enough.
Speaker 1: It's time we move from the whack a mole of
Speaker 1: the injustices that they are putting out and start thinking about,
Speaker 1: and start dreaming about, and start creating the type of
Speaker 1: America that we want to live in. Because let me
Speaker 1: tell you, folks, all bets are off after November if
Speaker 1: they win, and I'm sure as fuck won't be sitting
Speaker 1: here when they do, so I will do every fucking
Speaker 1: thing that I can between now and then to wake
Speaker 1: up as many people as possible, and I need you
Speaker 1: to be committed to doing the same. Don't go yell
Speaker 1: at that aunt and uncle or that mom and that
Speaker 1: dad and tell them that they're stupid and that they're
Speaker 1: maga and that they're this. You need to talk to
Speaker 1: them from a place of love, because only love can
Speaker 1: drive out hate. That is what Martin Luther King said,
Speaker 1: and that is the fucking truth. You cannot match their
Speaker 1: fire with more fire because it will only burn this
Speaker 1: entire country down. We got to win over who we can,
Speaker 1: who thinks that this election Oh, I'm gonna sit this
Speaker 1: one out. It's gonna be a protest. You can't protest
Speaker 1: from prison, You can't protest from inside a camp. People
Speaker 1: are talking about the courageous Russian activists who was just
Speaker 1: murdered in prison by putin his parents, his family, his wife,
Speaker 1: not getting the body back for two weeks so that
Speaker 1: whatever type of poison that they gave him will be
Speaker 1: out of his system, out of his body. You see
Speaker 1: him one day, Oh, he's fine. In the next day,
Speaker 1: he just happens to die. That is what Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: wants America to look like when he goes to Russia
Speaker 1: and he says they have it better than we do.
Speaker 1: Who is he talking about? Not those that protest. Four
Speaker 1: hundred people were picked up in protest of Navalni's death,
Speaker 1: of his murder. What do you think is gonna happen
Speaker 1: to those people? You think that they're gonna be released, No,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be put in some penal colony, beaten and
Speaker 1: never to be heard from again. Wake up. Every empire
Speaker 1: has fallen and what comes in its place is not
Speaker 1: anybody's fucking utopia. Yes, there are some days that I
Speaker 1: absolutely want to say let it burn. That's only if
Speaker 1: the good guys are the ones that are in charge.
Speaker 1: And you know what, we're not. Because shit like this
Speaker 1: keeps happening. We have got to take hold of this
Speaker 1: country because they are coming for all of us. That
Speaker 1: is it for me today. Dear friends on Woke af
Speaker 1: AS always, power to the people and to all the people. Power,
Speaker 1: Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
