Speaker 1: Good morning, peepson. Welcome to woke F Daily with Meet
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: it is Friday and you have made it. Give yourselves
Speaker 1: a pat on the back, a round of applause, a
Speaker 1: yelp to the heavens if you are alone, and fuck
Speaker 1: it if you're with other people they can scream into
Speaker 1: Sometimes getting to the end of the week is a
Speaker 1: victory in and of itself. And for those of you
Speaker 1: who used to follow me back when I was on
Speaker 1: Serious XM, Friday's used to be a special day on
Speaker 1: woke F and I am reviving this tradition as we
Speaker 1: are now on iHeart Radio, and so Friday's, dear friends,
Speaker 1: welcome back to some and welcome to others to fuck
Speaker 1: it Friday. Now, fuck it Friday is the day where
Speaker 1: we can look at what transpired during the week and
Speaker 1: decide what it is that we are going to be saying. Ah,
Speaker 1: fuck it too. So if you're listening to this and
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, oh, Danielle, you miss dex, Sorry,
Speaker 1: oh you miss why, then tweet me out with the
Speaker 1: hashtag woke a F and the hashtag fuck it Friday
Speaker 1: and tell me what you are saying fuck it too
Speaker 1: this week, and so let me begin. Dear friends, if
Speaker 1: you follow me on the socials, particularly on TikTok where
Speaker 1: I am at Danielle Moody underscore, or on Twitter Instagram
Speaker 1: where I am at d D E two C E NTF,
Speaker 1: you might have seen my response to what has now
Speaker 1: become a viral moment on television. And it was between
Speaker 1: the co host of the show Rising, which is affiliated
Speaker 1: with The HILLTV the Hill dot Com, Brianna Joy Gray
Speaker 1: and her guest conservative author and conservative columnist Bethany Mandel.
Speaker 1: Now Bethany Mandel, as would have it, in the vein
Speaker 1: of other Republicans and quote unquote conservatives have found themselves
Speaker 1: using the term woke every day, all day for everything,
Speaker 1: as an excuse for why trains derail or why banks fail,
Speaker 1: like it's all because of wokeness, right, and that wokeness
Speaker 1: is coming to take over America, and so we got
Speaker 1: to wage a war on wokeness. So, when asked directly
Speaker 1: by Brianna Joy Gray, well, you're using the term woke,
Speaker 1: can you explain it to us? What is the definition
Speaker 1: of woke? Oh, dear friends, This is where it gets
Speaker 1: good because Bethanie Mandel embodied what a human version of
Speaker 1: aderin headlights look like. And what got me about this
Speaker 1: moment as she was stammering, you know, it's hard to
Speaker 1: it's hard to put into word in such a such
Speaker 1: a quick fifteen second sound bite. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I wrote a chapter on it, but it's so hard
Speaker 1: for me to, you know, grab a sentence in definition,
Speaker 1: and Brianna says, take your time, I'm not rushing you,
Speaker 1: and she can't come up with the definition. Well, this
Speaker 1: would be the first time, folks, that a journalist actually
Speaker 1: asked one of these conservative bozos how to define the word.
Speaker 1: It is that they keep using for everything that they
Speaker 1: don't like, everything that is outside of the six hetero white,
Speaker 1: oftentimes mail right quote unquote Christian perspective. So I decided
Speaker 1: to retort because that is what I do. And if
Speaker 1: you have not seen the video up on Twitter and
Speaker 1: on TikTok, I tell you to go and check it
Speaker 1: out because simply, folks, what you need to understand is
Speaker 1: that the word woke came from the black vernacular, so
Speaker 1: of course it would be really difficult for white supremacist
Speaker 1: to figure out how to define this thing that they
Speaker 1: have co opted and yet don't really understand because for them,
Speaker 1: they don't need to define it to their base, because
Speaker 1: it is the dog whistle of all whistles. Instead of
Speaker 1: being able to readily use the N word right now,
Speaker 1: they just interchange it with the word woke. Oh, you
Speaker 1: got woke policies, you got woke Eminem's you got woke
Speaker 1: gas Stow's right, I mean everything that is the antithesis
Speaker 1: too white centered Christian male dominance. But wokeness, what is
Speaker 1: the definition? Well, it's pretty fucking simple. To be woke
Speaker 1: means to be conscious of and aware of the layered
Speaker 1: oppressions that affect people in this country and around the globe.
Speaker 1: It means to be activated towards and conscious too the
Speaker 1: change that is necessary to confront systemic inequity. It's not
Speaker 1: rocket science. So then to be anti woke, dear friends,
Speaker 1: is to be oh, I don't know, asleep, unaware, oblivious,
Speaker 1: a fucking political ostrich that decides to bury their head
Speaker 1: in the sand. For them, wokeness is anything that appeals
Speaker 1: to any one that isn't white, that isn't straight, that
Speaker 1: is insists, that is in Christian. That's why they hate
Speaker 1: it so much. That's why they use this term. But
Speaker 1: you have to understand that they used to use other terms.
Speaker 1: They used to use terms like this Southern strategy. They
Speaker 1: used to use terms like the welfare queen. And now
Speaker 1: they use wokeness as their coded dog whistle bull horn
Speaker 1: language to signal to their white supremacist base, to their
Speaker 1: chrystal fascist constituents that anything that does not center them
Speaker 1: and their fucking snowflake feelings is woke. What I loved
Speaker 1: about this exchange with Bethanie Mandel is that here is
Speaker 1: an example to journalists about what you actually need to do.
Speaker 1: Instead of running with these fucking headlines, instead of putting
Speaker 1: up microphones in front of Ronda Santis and giving him
Speaker 1: a platform for his fascism, maybe ask a question, right,
Speaker 1: Maybe ask a fucking follow up, instead of just running
Speaker 1: with the bullshit that they say and treating it as
Speaker 1: if it is normal political discourse. When you know that
Speaker 1: it's fascism, when you know that it's racism, calling something
Speaker 1: out does not make you bias. It makes you a
Speaker 1: person that is actually good at the job of journalism.
Speaker 1: Brianna Joy Gray showed that and She did a follow
Speaker 1: up video, which won't, of course, gain as many clicks
Speaker 1: as this initial broadcast did because in our follow video
Speaker 1: she said, this was not a you gotcha moment, right,
Speaker 1: This is simply to ask somebody who is using terminology
Speaker 1: often to define it for the audience, to define it
Speaker 1: for the people that you're speaking to, because we all
Speaker 1: have different definitions, So what is yours? And the fact
Speaker 1: is is that journalists do not do that enough, and
Speaker 1: they let the Bethany Mandels and the Rhonda Santass and
Speaker 1: the Greg Abbots and the Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greens and the Matt Gates and all of
Speaker 1: these motherfuckers off the hook to just spout their bullshit
Speaker 1: because they're afraid that if they actually press these people
Speaker 1: with a basic question like define what it is that
Speaker 1: you're saying and who it is that you're speaking to that,
Speaker 1: then they're going to be labeled somehow as being biased. No,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be labeled as somebody who again just knows
Speaker 1: how to do their job. Instead of being so concerned
Speaker 1: with access, you should be more concerned with the truth
Speaker 1: and with what it is that your audience needs to
Speaker 1: know as opposed to what you want them to know.
Speaker 1: So for that very reason, my first fuck it goes
Speaker 1: to Bethany Mandel and to all of the carbon copy
Speaker 1: Republicans who have now come to her aid to say, oh,
Speaker 1: my goodness, she just you know, television is just so hard. Well,
Speaker 1: if your job is to be a media personality, then
Speaker 1: you should be able to think pretty quick on your feet,
Speaker 1: shouldn't you. Yeah, too bad, Bethany, maybe next time. Up
Speaker 1: next on my list of people to say fuck it
Speaker 1: too is a state senator out of Minnesota. Now, guys,
Speaker 1: you have probably seen again this video that has also
Speaker 1: gone viral. There is a piece of legislation that a
Speaker 1: Democratic state senator was putting up to offer free and
Speaker 1: reduce lunch to all of the children in the state
Speaker 1: of Minnesota because, according to data that you actually procure
Speaker 1: on Earth one, not where Senator Steve Drikowski lives, one
Speaker 1: in six children in Minnesota is food and secure. And
Speaker 1: what does it mean to be food and secure? It
Speaker 1: means that you don't know when and where your next
Speaker 1: meal is actually going to be coming from. Well, this
Speaker 1: is what Senator Steve Driskowski, who is going to vote
Speaker 1: against this piece of legislation, So he's voting against feeding
Speaker 1: hungry children, says quote, I have yet to meet a
Speaker 1: person in Minnesota that is hungry. I'm sorry what. Then
Speaker 1: he went on to talk about the fact that well,
Speaker 1: hunger Many definitions. You know, I had a granola bar
Speaker 1: for breakfast, and so right now some would say that
Speaker 1: I would be hungry. I'm sorry what. This is the
Speaker 1: kind of barbarism, draconian ideology that this Republican Party is
Speaker 1: consumed with. Now, I want you all to think about this.
Speaker 1: This is a party that uses children as a political football. Right.
Speaker 1: They're all about being pro life and all about the children.
Speaker 1: When it is a fetus inside of a womb, when
Speaker 1: said fetus has yet to develop all of itsels and
Speaker 1: is breathing actual oxygen. Now, when that happens, the Republican
Speaker 1: motto is pretty much fuck them kids, right, because not
Speaker 1: only do you not want to pass legislation that doesn't expire,
Speaker 1: like the child tax credit, right that would allow you know,
Speaker 1: parents a little more and caregivers a little more money
Speaker 1: to be able to support their children and their basic
Speaker 1: needs with their own tax dollars. By the way, because
Speaker 1: here's the whole thing that when Republicans start to talk
Speaker 1: about fucking handouts, what Americans are actually asking for when
Speaker 1: they're asking for a return on their investment, is that
Speaker 1: you take all of this money from me right through
Speaker 1: my taxes. We're taxed probably more than any other country,
Speaker 1: right if you think about it, and you know, some
Speaker 1: would look and say, well, we have really good infrastructure.
Speaker 1: Well not really, not if you travel through parts of
Speaker 1: Asia and Europe, that is actually not the case. Our infrastructure,
Speaker 1: our airports and railways don't look great odes I mean,
Speaker 1: I can look to the Long Island Expressway where you
Speaker 1: can lose a whole car in the fucking sides of
Speaker 1: the potholes that are up and down that strip. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: your tax dollars are supposed to go for supporting different programs.
Speaker 1: So when we are saying, oh, here's a program that
Speaker 1: could benefit people, you're not asking for a government quote
Speaker 1: unquote handout. You're asking for a part of your fucking
Speaker 1: investment back right now. What I would love is for
Speaker 1: us to be able as investors, let's say, in the
Speaker 1: American Project, to be able to diversify my portfolio and
Speaker 1: say I don't want to put eight hundred billion dollars
Speaker 1: into the Pentagon that I actually would like to say
Speaker 1: in where my money goes, but we don't do that.
Speaker 1: But when you look at had legislation like this, which
Speaker 1: is meant to solve the very real problem, which is
Speaker 1: child hunger in this state, and then you have Republicans
Speaker 1: turn around and want to debate you on the word
Speaker 1: and the definition of hunger and say, well, it must
Speaker 1: not exist because I have never seen it with my
Speaker 1: own eyes. It's like, what planet are you on? How
Speaker 1: do you hold up the needs quote unquote of children
Speaker 1: and life and all of these things, and at the
Speaker 1: same time deny a hungry child the one meal that
Speaker 1: they may have in a day. Then you have the
Speaker 1: likes of like a Ben Shapiro who says, well, if
Speaker 1: the kids are hungry, one meal isn't going to really
Speaker 1: solve the problem, are you fucking dumb? So then the
Speaker 1: Republican response is just, well, if one meal isn't kind
Speaker 1: of solve hunger, let's give them no food. It's really wild,
Speaker 1: how barbaric, how evil, how just I don't even know,
Speaker 1: valueless the Republican Party has become. But when I look
Speaker 1: at the likes of Steve Drakowski and these comments and
Speaker 1: then being uplifted by other Republican talking heads. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this countryman is just really going down like in flames,
Speaker 1: just so so fast, staying in the same vein as
Speaker 1: it pertains to children and women and people who give birth.
Speaker 1: Another report came out this week that for the last
Speaker 1: three years, right since twenty twenty, since the beginning of
Speaker 1: the pandemic, that maternal mortality has increased in this country
Speaker 1: by forty percent, not four folks, forty four zero percent,
Speaker 1: consistently increasing over the last three years. And of course
Speaker 1: it has increased most for whom black mothers, who are
Speaker 1: dying at two and a half times the rate of
Speaker 1: their white counterparts. And mind you, this has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with your economic status, because middle class and wealthy
Speaker 1: black women are dying at the same rate as someone
Speaker 1: who is low income. How does that make sense? Will
Speaker 1: You can't explain it without explaining racism in the medical industry.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about an epidemic, Well, it's sure
Speaker 1: as fuck is in wokeness, right, it's racism and the
Speaker 1: denial thereof because it's costing black women their lives. But
Speaker 1: you see, if they can't starve you. If they can't
Speaker 1: shoot you in the street, if they can't suffocate you
Speaker 1: in the street, if they can't kill you in the hospitals,
Speaker 1: right like, they gotta find some way. If they can't
Speaker 1: poison your water, poison the ground, you gotta hit them
Speaker 1: at all different angles. It's amazing to me that Black
Speaker 1: people actually survive the consistent and unrelenting assault on our
Speaker 1: humanity and existence. Think about all of the things that
Speaker 1: I just named, folks, they all have multiple headlines and
Speaker 1: stories that are recent. This is not shit from the
Speaker 1: history books that they're also trying to erase. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Jackson, Mississippi and the poisoning of order. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Flint and the pipes that still have not been replaced.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about George Floyd. I'm talking about Tyree Nichols. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about women like Serena Williams, the greatest athlete
Speaker 1: of all time, who almost died in the hospital giving
Speaker 1: birth because the doctors and nurses refuse to listen to
Speaker 1: her about her pre existing condition of bloodcots. Had she
Speaker 1: not been Serena Williams, she would have been a statistic.
Speaker 1: This is not normal. This is reprehensible in a country
Speaker 1: that is supposed to be quote unquote advanced, the quote
Speaker 1: unquote rich nation. Give me a fucking break. You can't
Speaker 1: have numbers like you're a developing nation when it comes
Speaker 1: to health and wellness and then turn around and say
Speaker 1: that you're the wealthiest nation. The reframe of that is, oh, no,
Speaker 1: America is the greediest nation, because if we're looking at
Speaker 1: wealth as being a point of what it is that
Speaker 1: we produce, we've produced a lot of fucking greedy people
Speaker 1: who could give a fuck about humanity. And you could
Speaker 1: look at that from healthcare to banking, to policing an
Speaker 1: on it's pretty outrageous. Another thing to say fuck it
Speaker 1: to this week if I have to hear one more
Speaker 1: time about yet another recording of Don Old Trump trying
Speaker 1: to overturn and steal the twenty twenty election, and it
Speaker 1: is not filed up with oh, and he's being indicted
Speaker 1: on this charge, that charge, of that charge, of that charge,
Speaker 1: and that charge. I don't want to hear the fucking
Speaker 1: story how about that? Because I don't know how much
Speaker 1: criming one person one administration must do in broad daylight
Speaker 1: on fucking tape and still be walking free. I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how the fuck Steve Bannon was
Speaker 1: convicted and this motherfucker was just that seapack. Why is
Speaker 1: he not in jail. It is the whiteness for me, right,
Speaker 1: It is the whiteness and the wealth for me. It
Speaker 1: is good to be a rich white man in America
Speaker 1: anywhere for that matter, but particularly in America, you can
Speaker 1: actually and literally get away with murder. People pat you
Speaker 1: on the back and call you a genius. They don't
Speaker 1: really dig into how you got your start, whether or
Speaker 1: not you pulled yourself up from your bootstraps or daddy
Speaker 1: gave you a billion dollars. You know, we would not
Speaker 1: be in this situation right with Donald Trump. Well one,
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that sloth like jellyfish Merritt Garland,
Speaker 1: who should have never been named the Attorney General of
Speaker 1: the United States. He does not have the temerity, he
Speaker 1: does not have the tenacity, he does not have the spine,
Speaker 1: he does not have the wherewithal for this job, and
Speaker 1: he should have been fired, if not never named in
Speaker 1: the first fucking place. That's number one. Number two, we're
Speaker 1: here because of America's love, affair, and worship of celebrity, whiteness,
Speaker 1: and wealth. Donald Trump is the walking, talking monument to
Speaker 1: that worship. Right, Donald Trump, if was any other person,
Speaker 1: would have gone to jail a long time of go.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is is that we know that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump ain't going to jail. Now. If he is,
Speaker 1: let's just you know, go out on a limb. Word
Speaker 1: on the street is that Donald Trump will be indicted,
Speaker 1: maybe today, maybe Monday, maybe coming soon, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Could be coming from the Department of Justice, could be
Speaker 1: coming from the Manhattan District Attorney, could be coming from
Speaker 1: the Fulton County District Attorney before she's pushed out of
Speaker 1: her job by a bunch of white Republican men who
Speaker 1: have decided to write the law because they don't want
Speaker 1: any of their friends to be indicted, namely Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: so they can get rid of anybody that they don't
Speaker 1: fucking like. The fact of the matter here is friends
Speaker 1: that even if Donald Trump is indicted on multiple charges,
Speaker 1: he's going to continue running for office because we have
Speaker 1: no laws on the books for that. Because the forefathers
Speaker 1: of this country could not have foreseen the likes of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, He's going to continue running for office. He's
Speaker 1: going to use it as his biggest talking point. Even
Speaker 1: if it does go to trial. You know, maybe he'll
Speaker 1: settle out with a fine. But do we really think
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is going to do time? Do we
Speaker 1: really think? Right? Again, had Nixon actually done time for
Speaker 1: his crime, Donald Trump wouldn't even exist because there would
Speaker 1: have been precedent for what we do with criminal ass
Speaker 1: presidents who abuse their power. We're here because rich white
Speaker 1: men are never held accountable for the level of damage
Speaker 1: that they do. We're here with the banks because greedy
Speaker 1: ass CEOs and shareholders were not held accountable for their
Speaker 1: wrongdoing during the early two thousands. We keep thinking that, oh, well,
Speaker 1: people will learn. What are they learning, Yes, they are learning.
Speaker 1: They're learning how to keep criming, how to get better
Speaker 1: at it. Because unless you hold people accountable at the
Speaker 1: level at which they need to be held accountable for
Speaker 1: the crimes that they commit against this country, against humanity,
Speaker 1: then what you get in their place will be worse.
Speaker 1: Enter center stage, Ron de Santis, Glenn Yuncan, Greg Abbott,
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckabee Sanders. So to that, I say, dear friends,
Speaker 1: fuck it to Donald Trump, fuck it to the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Fuck it to the cable news stations that bring on
Speaker 1: these fucking former Trump officials and staffers who lied to
Speaker 1: the American people, who profited off of our pain and
Speaker 1: now get to sit down and plush media jobs and
Speaker 1: be taken quote unquote seriously. You know That's why by
Speaker 1: the time that we get to the end of the week,
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I just want to wash it
Speaker 1: all off me. I want to take a break, a stretch,
Speaker 1: a deep inhale, a primal scream, whatever it is that
Speaker 1: you do to shake this shiit off so that we
Speaker 1: can continue to move forward. So, dear friends, if you
Speaker 1: got a fuck it Friday for me, please tweet me
Speaker 1: out at D two cents D E E T W
Speaker 1: O C E N T S. Hit me up and
Speaker 1: tell me what you are saying fuck it to this week.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, dear friends, on woke
Speaker 1: a f as always, Power to the people and to
Speaker 1: all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
