1 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to okay F Daily. We 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: meet your girl, Danielle Moody, recording live from our pod 3 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: stream studios in Times Square. Folks, I am so completely 4 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: outdone with America, and I don't want to say America 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: as a whole, so far as I am outdone by 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote conservatives in America. You know, last week Tucker Carlson, 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: who I don't ever like to talk about, just like 8 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't ever like to talk about Trump, but sometimes 9 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: when things are just staring you in the face, you 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: were forced to talk about them. Tucker Carlson did his 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: show from Hungary from Budapest, right, And what I find 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: absolutely incredible about this is how Republicans have aligned themselves 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: with tyrants and dictators, and that they are telling us 14 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: out in the open that they no longer want a democracy, 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: that as a matter of fact, they have complete and 16 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: total contempt for democracy. And Jamal Bowie wrote in The 17 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: New York Times last week about the fact that Tucker 18 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Carlson was there and he's interviewing Victor Orban, who the 19 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Biden administration calls a tyrant, calls a dictator, says that 20 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: Hungary's democracy is nothing more than window dressing. And what 21 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: I find so troubling is that we are in a 22 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: position where we only have one political party. And I've 23 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: said this so many times on woke f but I 24 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: find that the language that mainstream media is using is 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: not aggressive enough. We don't have a two party system. 26 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: There is no such thing as bipartisanship, with one party 27 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: aligning itself with dictators and tyrants. This is the most 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Unamerican shit that you could possibly ever see, and yet 29 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: they are calling us traders. It is bizarre to me. 30 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: So I want to read you this part of Jamal 31 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Bowie's op ed because it's stunning to me. He writes 32 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: this at this moment an American life, He writes, it's 33 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: conservatives who have set their sites abroad. Parts of the 34 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: movement have even adopted a kind of anti Americanism, a 35 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: contempt for the United States as it exists. These conservatives 36 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: still call themselves patriots and disdain their opponents as traders, 37 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: but there is an abstract loyalty to an idealized country 38 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: when they contemplate the actual United States. And this is 39 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: from Zach Baucamp, who wrote, who writes for a box? 40 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: They are filled with scorn. I was listening to a 41 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: clip of Tucker Carlson, which, by the way, in and 42 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: of itself, makes me feel insane and like I need 43 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: to put listerine in my ears or something like that 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: to wash out the bacteria and the toxicity that comes 45 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: out of that idiot's mouth. But I'm listening to him, 46 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: and the way in which he talks about America, about 47 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: our government is insane. It is like watching opposite day. 48 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: He talks about the American government as if we currently 49 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: the Biden and Harris administration are a bunch of dictators 50 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: that are trying to destroy the country. Why because they 51 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: want everyone in the United States to get a vaccine, 52 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: a life saving vaccine, so that we don't add to 53 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: our death toll of over six hundred thousand Americans dead 54 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: under the last administration. You would think that Republicans would 55 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: be outraged, right, Like, aren't they the party of pro life? 56 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: And yet they are advocating fucking death. It's insane. You 57 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: have ron Da Santis, the Satan as I like to 58 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: call him, in Florida, who has put in place executive 59 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: orders and mandates that don't allow school boards to dictate 60 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: what is right for the kids of Florida, or for 61 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: the teachers that are there and the administrators they voted 62 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: to have mass in schools. They are following the CDC's guidelines. 63 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis and Greg Abbott in Texas, two of the 64 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: hottest COVID hot zones in the fucking world, not just 65 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: in the country, but in the fucking world, don't want 66 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: you to be able to mask your children. So what 67 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: they are saying then, is that they are pro murder, 68 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: right like. And I don't understand why mainstream media keeps 69 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: using euphemism for these people that are actively creating policy 70 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: that will kill you, right like, are we waiting to 71 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: see how many kids are going to die in these 72 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: states or going to become so severely ill that they're 73 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: going to need to be hospitalized? And then what is 74 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: de Satan gonna say? Oops? Right? And I'm wondering again, 75 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: where the fuck are these massive lawsuits against these governors. 76 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: You know, here's a funny story. And by funny, I 77 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: don't mean like funny, ha ha, I mean funny, like 78 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: fucking dumb. So listen to this. There is a congressman. 79 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: I can't make this up. I cannot There's a Congressman 80 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: Ralph Norman, Republican out of South Carolina. Also, what the 81 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: fuck is wrong with South Carolina? Like you have Lindsey 82 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: Graham who got COVID because he was on a boat 83 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: trip with Joe Manchin, which again and did not get 84 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: the kind of fucking headlines that it should be getting. 85 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Because I want to know, Joe Mansion is, you know, 86 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: the man of the hour, the man that says no 87 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: to everything, no to ending the filibuster, no to stopping 88 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: voter suppression. Like this man just no to doing anything 89 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: about climate change as literally the oceans are on fire, right, 90 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: But he's the cold king of West Virginia. This man, 91 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham gets COVID. Now Ralph Norman, who is suing 92 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, suing Nancy Pelosi over her mask mandate for 93 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: the floor of the house. This motherfucker got COVID. He's 94 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: suing Nancy Pelosi for the five hundred dollars fine because 95 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: she's finding these motherfuckers now they don't want to wear 96 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: a mask on the floor. Great, we're gonna keep giving 97 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: you fines. And frankly, I don't think that five hundred 98 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: dollars is enough. I think that you should be finding 99 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: them a thousand dollars every single day. Right, these people, 100 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: you know clearly they got money to burn. So listen 101 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: to this. This is from Bloomberg. Representative Ralph Norman of 102 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: South Carolina may have to put his lawsuit against how 103 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Speaker Nancy Pelosi over mass mandates on hold. He announced 104 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: last week that he had contracted a breakthrough COVID nineteen infection. 105 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: The South Carolina Republican is suing Pelosi for a five 106 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: hundred dollars fine imposed on him for not wearing a mask. 107 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: Representatives the other Idiots, Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massey, 108 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: Republican of Kentucky, were also fined, and they joined him 109 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: in the lawsuit. I wonder if they joined him, you know, 110 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: in COVID as well. So here's the thing. This is 111 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: what their lawyers wrote. The masking requirement was an attempt 112 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: to prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, medicine, and science, 113 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: despite a deep divide over these issues of opinion. This 114 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: is not a matter of opinion, right. That's like saying, well, 115 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: you know scientists say that the sky is blue, Well, 116 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: my opinion is it's orange, Right, So then it must 117 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: be orange. Right, No, it's not. There are not two 118 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: sides of this issue, but much in the same way 119 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: that mainstream media loves to have this both side is 120 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: m because they like to feel like they can be neutral. 121 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: And what do we know about neutrality? Right Like, you 122 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: cannot sit on the fence about this particular issue because 123 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: you will die, right Like, you follow the science. This 124 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: idiot didn't want to wear a mask on the floor 125 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: of the house, and now he has a breakthrough infection 126 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: of COVID, right like, which we know is happening and 127 00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: can happen. Why would you put yourself at risk? Right Like? 128 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Why are people so fucking stupid? I I literally do 129 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: not get it. You know. Somebody tweeted the other day 130 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: and they said, I had this horrible nightmare where there 131 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: was a life saving vaccine but millions of people wouldn't 132 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: take it and so millions died. And then the person said, oh, 133 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: that actually wasn't a nightmare. That's the reality that we 134 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: are living right now. Do you know that there are 135 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: people around the world that are clamoring for this vaccine 136 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: but their country doesn't have enough. We are overflowing with vaccines. 137 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: We have enough vaccine for every American to be vaccinated, 138 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: that is between twelve and up. But we have breakout 139 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: COVID cases and hotspots all across the country because people 140 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: are demanding the right to get sick and make everyone 141 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: around them sick. I told you last week that we 142 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: are at delta plus variant right now, delta plus. There 143 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: is another mutation on top of the delta that we've 144 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: been talking about. There is also a lambda variant. These 145 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: viruses are never going away. And it's like Republicans just 146 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: want us all sick and desperate. And I want you 147 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: to think about why. And I go back to Jamal 148 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Bowie's article in The New York Times, the Making of 149 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: a Tyrant, which everyone needs to watch on Netflix, so 150 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: that you can understand what the fuck is coming our way. 151 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: When we are sick, when we are desperately out of work, 152 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: when we cannot have our basic needs met, we are 153 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: at each other's throats, which is prime ground, fertile ground 154 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: for autocracy. That's what Republicans ultimately want. They want Americans 155 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: to be sick, They want us to be desperate. Right, 156 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: They actually are actively hoping that the Biden administration fails. Right, 157 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment, because I'll be honest 158 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: with you, I did not like George Bush right, w 159 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: I didn't like hw Bush right, But I didn't want 160 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: them to fail because their failure, right would mean my failure. 161 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: Because we live in the same fucking country. But we 162 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: have moved to a place where in our politics we 163 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: are totally okay with the right wing advocating for and 164 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: hoping for the failure of a democratic president because they 165 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: have already decided they are no longer a part of 166 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: this country. Right when you are at how do you 167 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: call yourself a patriot? How do you say that you 168 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: are an American and you are advocating for the failure 169 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: of an administration that is doing its best to save 170 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: the American public. Rand Paul the other day was on 171 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: the news talking about the fact, lying, lying about the 172 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: fact that the Biden administration is picking up migrant children 173 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: with COVID and spreading them around the United States. What 174 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: in the fucking world would make that man say those things? Meanwhile, 175 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: he supported a president who put children in cages that 176 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: we actually have proof of. Right, What we also know 177 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: and have been learning is that there were massive cover ups. 178 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: And I talked about this too, massive cover ups of 179 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: the amount of children and people in these concentration camps 180 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: that got COVID because of the unsanitary conditions. And remember 181 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: the Trump administration went to court so that they could 182 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: legally not provide sanitary conditions for migrants, right. Remember that 183 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: they didn't want to give them soap or toothbrushes, right, 184 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: or blankets. And I keep thinking to myself, especially now 185 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: that we are learning about residential schools, in the way 186 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: in which this country and others stole Native American children 187 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: from their tribes, from their families, forced them into these 188 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: schools where they were forced and beaten into assimilation into 189 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: white eurocentric culture. And if they weren't, they were beaten 190 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: or they were killed, and they were mass graves. And 191 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: I keep wondering to myself, what are we going to 192 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: really uncover about what went on during the Trump administration 193 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: in these detention centers, in these holding cells, not just 194 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: for kids, but for all of these undocumented people. We 195 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: were housing folks in Texas in open air prisons like 196 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: it was the fucking Gaza Strip. And I want an 197 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: investigation into that. I want an investigation into so much 198 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,119 Speaker 1: because I believe that all of these things are connected, 199 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: and all of it is leading us to an autocracy 200 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: because that's what Republicans want. And if we don't call 201 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: these things out, if we don't say the truth out 202 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: loud with strong language, that we are going to be 203 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: caught off guard. And I don't want us to be 204 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: caught off guard because they are literally telling us what 205 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: they are doing, and we're pretending that we still have 206 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: a two party system.
