Speaker 1: Good morning, keep Send. Welcome to OOKF Daily with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: it is Friday, and thank god we have made it,
Speaker 1: because one another hellish week you had Republicans cheering in
Speaker 1: the Arizona House Chamber because they successfully blockaded the Democrats'
Speaker 1: ability to repeal a law from eighteen sixty four that
Speaker 1: outlaws abortion. But this is before let me think about
Speaker 1: the things that hadn't happened yet in eighteen sixty four.
Speaker 1: Women having the right to vote, black people having freedom,
Speaker 1: Arizona being a state, just to name a few. And
Speaker 1: so here you have video of these assholes, like I
Speaker 1: have run out of niceties, not like I've ever used them,
Speaker 1: but there are no euphemisms for these people, these white
Speaker 1: men who want to go back to eighteen sixty four.
Speaker 1: They want to go back to a time when women
Speaker 1: had no rights, no opportunities, black people had no freedom,
Speaker 1: and they ruled everything right and all they had to
Speaker 1: do was fight amongst themselves because everything else was quote
Speaker 1: unquote under control. And so that's what I want folks
Speaker 1: to understand on this good Friday, is that that is
Speaker 1: the plan. The plan has been operationalized. The plan is
Speaker 1: moving forward exactly how Republicans have wanted it to move forward,
Speaker 1: following the fall of Roe v. Wade, in the fall
Speaker 1: of affirmative action, and now the fall of diversity, equity
Speaker 1: and inclusion and the fall of critical thought. Is that
Speaker 1: regardless of you know, Ron DeSantis now in Florida deciding that, oh,
Speaker 1: the book ban has gone too far because now the
Speaker 1: book band that he instated as part of his overarching
Speaker 1: culture war, that he used as his trampoline into the
Speaker 1: Republican primary which totally literally fell flat, now he wants
Speaker 1: to do away with it because, oh, well, the Bible
Speaker 1: should not only be in schools, but apparently be taught
Speaker 1: in schools. So you see that there are no limits
Speaker 1: to the absurdity, to the foolishness, to the fuckery that
Speaker 1: these people will try and wield over the rest of us.
Speaker 1: And my question is, you know, because God, friends, when
Speaker 1: are people going to get it? I know that you
Speaker 1: guys get it right, and I hope that the people
Speaker 1: around you, your friends, your colleagues, you know, your community.
Speaker 1: I hope they get it. But if they don't, what
Speaker 1: I need from each and every member of the wok
Speaker 1: F community is to be an ambassador not of this show,
Speaker 1: not of me, but to democracy, to paint the picture
Speaker 1: in the way that people in your sphere, in your universe,
Speaker 1: on your platforms and your network will understand the stakes.
Speaker 1: Because I've tried, friends, I've tried in so many different ways,
Speaker 1: and I will can continue trying over the next By
Speaker 1: the way, two hundred days until the election, two hun
Speaker 1: days we have left. And when I think about this,
Speaker 1: and I think about two hundred days roughly six and
Speaker 1: a half months until potentially Donald Trump, a dictator, a fascist,
Speaker 1: a racist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a homophobe, a transphobe,
Speaker 1: anti Islamophobic, until this man could potentially become the last
Speaker 1: president of the United States till A man who told
Speaker 1: people during the COVID nineteen pandemic to inject bleach. People
Speaker 1: who he said were Nazis marching with tiki torches were
Speaker 1: good people. A man that instituted a Muslim ban, a
Speaker 1: man that separated children from their families and put them
Speaker 1: in cages. A man that sent lawyers from his administration
Speaker 1: to the courts to fight for the right to not
Speaker 1: provide basic hygiene products for the people that he was
Speaker 1: putting in basically encampments, who were seeking nothing other than
Speaker 1: protection in the area of asylum, because America has, over
Speaker 1: the course of decades destabilized their countries by putting in
Speaker 1: leaders that would only benefit the United States that the
Speaker 1: people did not want, by turning our backs on the
Speaker 1: drugs and guns that we were trading, right because I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no other way to say that. I did an
Speaker 1: interview on my other podcast, The New Abnormal, talking about well,
Speaker 1: how would we fix our immigration system, and it was like, well,
Speaker 1: here's an idea. America could stop shipping the guns that
Speaker 1: the cartels are using to kill a ton of people
Speaker 1: and terrorize them. We could stop doing that. That could
Speaker 1: put a dent, you know, in terms of creating safer environments,
Speaker 1: maybe not supply the very weapons that are being used
Speaker 1: to commit the horrific crimes that people are fleeing from.
Speaker 1: It's just a thought, you know, crazy idea. But I
Speaker 1: look at this, a man, Donald Trump, that is responsible
Speaker 1: for the repeal of Roe v. Wade, that celebrates it
Speaker 1: because he appointed three conservative judges who he knew would
Speaker 1: not abide by precedent or any rule of law. For
Speaker 1: that matter and just do away with our rights in
Speaker 1: this country bit by bit, which is what they're doing
Speaker 1: in three states right now. This week, the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: decided that you do not have the right to mass protest.
Speaker 1: In the same very same week, they decided that those
Speaker 1: that did try to overturn our free and fair election
Speaker 1: on January sixth can't be charged with obstruction. And Clarence Thomas,
Speaker 1: who should have recused himself from said case, has said,
Speaker 1: people obstruct, you know, government proceedings all the time. I
Speaker 1: have never seen the law applied in this type of manner. Interesting,
Speaker 1: So you have seen then the Capitol building storm than
Speaker 1: a gallows built, and the Vice President of the United
Speaker 1: States having to take cover but afraid to get into
Speaker 1: his caravan because he's not sure who is directing that
Speaker 1: caravan and where it will go to, because he recognized
Speaker 1: in that moment that he no longer had power, but
Speaker 1: Donald Trump did, and that Donald Trump told his people
Speaker 1: to come and kill him. We just brush over that.
Speaker 1: The fact that we are in a fifty to fifty
Speaker 1: toss up the fact that Joe Biden, even though I
Speaker 1: do not believe in polls this far out, is not
Speaker 1: obliterating Donald Trump with sixty seventy eighty percent of those
Speaker 1: that are polled saying that Donald Trump is nowhere near
Speaker 1: their radar and needs to be nowhere near the Oval
Speaker 1: office is insane. It is absolutely insane. But that's where
Speaker 1: we are. And so I just you know, two hundred days, friends,
Speaker 1: two hundred days, and God help us, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: People ask me, you know, when they see me out, Danielle,
Speaker 1: what do you think the chances are? Should I be
Speaker 1: as worried as I am? And I want to tell
Speaker 1: people I do, I genuinely do. I want to say
Speaker 1: it's going to be okay and believe it. I want
Speaker 1: to say, you know, it's a lot of media hysterics,
Speaker 1: but don't worry. This is really just for ratings, because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, America got this and
Speaker 1: we're not going to let a fascist, misogynistic, racist dictator
Speaker 1: take over our country. But friends, I can't say that
Speaker 1: because if I did say that, I would be lying.
Speaker 1: So here we are, and it is terrifying. And so
Speaker 1: you are justified. You know, as we talked about earlier
Speaker 1: this week with our friend doctor Jonathan Metzel, that you
Speaker 1: are justified in your anxiety You're justified in your anger.
Speaker 1: You're justified in all of the ways that you are feeling,
Speaker 1: because I honestly can't point to an instance and say
Speaker 1: people are being hyperbolic. It's not that bad. Just this week,
Speaker 1: another story for you that may not have made it
Speaker 1: you to your headlines. Donald Trump, let me take a breath.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has directed the Republican National Committee to collect
Speaker 1: a five percent fee from down ballot Republican candidates who
Speaker 1: use his name or photos. He wants five percent of
Speaker 1: what they raised. What does that sound like to you?
Speaker 1: Does that sound like a mob boss? You got a
Speaker 1: tied to the church of Donald Trump? Five percent of
Speaker 1: your earnings if in fact you mention his name and
Speaker 1: use a picture of him. By the way, also the
Speaker 1: RNC is no longer actually fundraising or utilizing their money
Speaker 1: for down ballot candidates. So if you are a Republican
Speaker 1: running right for anything, you are receiving zero goosegg nothing
Speaker 1: from the RNC. But what the RNC wants in return,
Speaker 1: which is by the way, run by Trump's organized crime family,
Speaker 1: is that you get five percent. And also the joke
Speaker 1: is that in an article that was written by Politico
Speaker 1: that the RNC said at minimum five percent, but basically
Speaker 1: they would look kindly as would form or twice impeach
Speaker 1: disgrace President of the United States Donald Trump if it
Speaker 1: was more than five percent. So it's not enough right
Speaker 1: for him to grift off of his fans and his constituents. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not going to stop there. Now he's squeezing the
Speaker 1: wallets of those other people who are choosing to run
Speaker 1: for office. And I'm just like, and the funny thing is,
Speaker 1: folks like, while this is very clear mob tactics, right like,
Speaker 1: you see this shit in every movie where either a gang,
Speaker 1: the organized mob, a drug cartel has people that are
Speaker 1: living in their communities running businesses. But in order for
Speaker 1: those businesses to stay in business, that you need to
Speaker 1: provide twenty thirty forty percent of your profits two said
Speaker 1: mob boss said gang right like, this is how these
Speaker 1: motherfuckers operate, and it's why people end up fleeing because
Speaker 1: there's no real deal in place, Like the number their
Speaker 1: share will always go up, and they'll say, you'll just
Speaker 1: be lucky to be in business, right that you are
Speaker 1: essentially a stooge four and working for the boss. So
Speaker 1: tell me how what Donald Trump is doing with the
Speaker 1: RNC any different than what John Gotti has done. Tell
Speaker 1: me how it's any different. It's not like this, this
Speaker 1: line of thinking is directly out of the fucking Sopranos
Speaker 1: or New Jack City. There's a good throwback for you.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, how much clearer does Donald Trump have
Speaker 1: to be in saying I'm the only show in town.
Speaker 1: You owe me for even showing up. And the funny
Speaker 1: thing is is that the money that he will receive,
Speaker 1: it's not like it is going back to communities. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's going back to the voters. It's not
Speaker 1: like it's even going to operate his campaign. It's going
Speaker 1: to pay his legal fees. He's looking every nook and cranny,
Speaker 1: turning over the couches to get change, literally grabbing these
Speaker 1: Republicans by the ankles, turning them upside down and shaking
Speaker 1: them out for everything that they have. And these idiots
Speaker 1: as they're being you know, shaken up upside down, got
Speaker 1: a grin on their face. So I'm like, he couldn't
Speaker 1: have picked a better group of fucking idiots because they're
Speaker 1: willingly right. What did Lyndon B. Johnson say? If you
Speaker 1: can tell the poorest white man that he's better than
Speaker 1: the best black man. You don't even have to lie
Speaker 1: to him. He'll like, you don't even have to pick
Speaker 1: his pockets because he'll give you his money for free.
Speaker 1: Where's the lie? And I know that I butchered that quote,
Speaker 1: but tell me where's the lie? Donald Trump has convinced
Speaker 1: forty percent of the population that, regardless of their economic
Speaker 1: standing or where they are, that they are better than
Speaker 1: any coastal elite, any successful black or brown person, that
Speaker 1: this country is theirs. It doesn't matter that they don't
Speaker 1: have the education level, the capacity, the business acumen, nothing.
Speaker 1: We're going to strip away, We promise you, that will
Speaker 1: strip away all of those laws that saw your rightful
Speaker 1: place as white people in America slowly move and recede
Speaker 1: to the back. We're going to reinstate you to where
Speaker 1: you need to be. Now, that's never going to happen, right,
Speaker 1: meaning that A this country was never theirs. B. They
Speaker 1: don't have the skills to even be competitive. When you
Speaker 1: look at these red states and you look at where
Speaker 1: their education numbers are, and you look at where their
Speaker 1: joblessness numbers are, and you look at where their healthcare
Speaker 1: numbers are like Jonathan had said, dying of whiteness. They
Speaker 1: are willing to do it. It doesn't matter. It's not
Speaker 1: about what Donald Trump will provide for them, because he's
Speaker 1: not providing shit. It is about what he will take
Speaker 1: away from everyone else. That's what they're cheering on. And
Speaker 1: so when we on the other side are trying to
Speaker 1: understand quote unquote the economic anxiety or you know, the
Speaker 1: pain that white people are in, the pain is racism.
Speaker 1: That's the pain that they're in. It's the fact that
Speaker 1: they have voted for politicians that sent their jobs overseas,
Speaker 1: that the very people that they are keeping in power
Speaker 1: ensured that their factories, their public school system would all crumble.
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, it is about
Speaker 1: the bottom line. But what Republicans were able to do
Speaker 1: is say, oh no, no, your jobs went overseas, not
Speaker 1: because we want cheap labor that we don't have to
Speaker 1: pay health care for over time, for have to deal
Speaker 1: with those pesky things called worker rights. It's democrats faults.
Speaker 1: You lost your job because of that, you know, migrant
Speaker 1: that they let into the country. So if we get
Speaker 1: rid of all of them, then you'll get your job back.
Speaker 1: That's not how the fuck it works. And also just
Speaker 1: mind you, if in fact you went to the source,
Speaker 1: you know, the companies and the businesses that were actually
Speaker 1: hiring migrants illegally and abusing them with low pay and
Speaker 1: whatever else, if you went after them and they received
Speaker 1: the kind of hefty fines that they should receive, then
Speaker 1: they would be forced not to hire again, solving another problem.
Speaker 1: But we don't go after the companies that are hiring people.
Speaker 1: We go after the people that are seeking a better life,
Speaker 1: because that's how we work. You know, the list goes on.
Speaker 1: I could tell you about, you know, the governor of
Speaker 1: Mississippi that is re you know, dedicated April to being
Speaker 1: Confederate Heritage Month, because America loves to celebrate the Confederacy.
Speaker 1: You know, you name streets and schools and buildings all
Speaker 1: after people who fought and lost their lives because they
Speaker 1: couldn't see people as human beings. But that's what we
Speaker 1: celebrate here. And we wonder why we haven't made any progress.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say, oh, we haven't made
Speaker 1: any progress. Obviously we have. But when you're able to
Speaker 1: so easily manipulate white people because of their racism, and
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Morrison said it in an interview when asked, once,
Speaker 1: you know, will racism ever go away, and she said
Speaker 1: when white people no longer deem it as necessary. But
Speaker 1: right now it is a tool. Racism is a tool
Speaker 1: that helps them get to their bottom line. So so
Speaker 1: long as you can always pull it out, they'll continue
Speaker 1: to use it because there is always going to be
Speaker 1: a willing constituency that is ready to hear about all
Speaker 1: the ways, not that their lives are going to be
Speaker 1: made better, but how the people that they hate lives
Speaker 1: are going to be made worse. And so long as
Speaker 1: that can continue to be a you know, golden ticket,
Speaker 1: they'll continue punching it. It's wild, folks. You know, this
Speaker 1: grifting ass Supreme Court, this crime family that is threatening
Speaker 1: witnesses in his New York case, and these judges are
Speaker 1: waiting one, two, three weeks to hold hearings on the
Speaker 1: fact that you know, by the time that they issue
Speaker 1: the gag order and that word leaves their mouths and
Speaker 1: enter into Trump's ears, He's already violated the gag order
Speaker 1: multiple times over. So until you decide to start treating
Speaker 1: and speaking about Donald Trump as a mob boss and
Speaker 1: handling him the same way you would a mobster that
Speaker 1: is on trial. We're not going to get anywhere, and
Speaker 1: I fear that people are going to lose their lives
Speaker 1: right because we know that Donald Trump's other mode of
Speaker 1: operation on top of racism is weaponizing the truth and
Speaker 1: you know, getting his team in line to do his
Speaker 1: dirty work like he did on January sixth. The thing
Speaker 1: that gets me in closing today, Friends, with two hundred
Speaker 1: days to go until the election, is that win or lose,
Speaker 1: the months following the election are going to be the
Speaker 1: most dangerous time in America because if Donald Trump loses,
Speaker 1: they're not going to accept the losses, making January sixth
Speaker 1: just look like a high school dress rehearsal. If Donald
Speaker 1: Trump wins, Mayhem So you know, at least if he loses,
Speaker 1: Biden is still in control of the military, still in
Speaker 1: control of our agencies, and hopefully we would be able
Speaker 1: to push past an eruption of violence. But if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump wins, Friends, all bets are off. That is it
Speaker 1: for 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.
