Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to okay F Daily. We
Speaker 1: meet your girl, Danielle Moody, recording live from our pod
Speaker 1: stream studios in Times Square. Folks, I am so completely
Speaker 1: outdone with America, and I don't want to say America
Speaker 1: as a whole, so far as I am outdone by
Speaker 1: quote unquote conservatives in America. You know, last week Tucker Carlson,
Speaker 1: who I don't ever like to talk about, just like
Speaker 1: I don't ever like to talk about Trump, but sometimes
Speaker 1: when things are just staring you in the face, you
Speaker 1: were forced to talk about them. Tucker Carlson did his
Speaker 1: show from Hungary from Budapest, right, And what I find
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible about this is how Republicans have aligned themselves
Speaker 1: with tyrants and dictators, and that they are telling us
Speaker 1: out in the open that they no longer want a democracy,
Speaker 1: that as a matter of fact, they have complete and
Speaker 1: total contempt for democracy. And Jamal Bowie wrote in The
Speaker 1: New York Times last week about the fact that Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson was there and he's interviewing Victor Orban, who the
Speaker 1: Biden administration calls a tyrant, calls a dictator, says that
Speaker 1: Hungary's democracy is nothing more than window dressing. And what
Speaker 1: I find so troubling is that we are in a
Speaker 1: position where we only have one political party. And I've
Speaker 1: said this so many times on woke f but I
Speaker 1: find that the language that mainstream media is using is
Speaker 1: not aggressive enough. We don't have a two party system.
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as bipartisanship, with one party
Speaker 1: aligning itself with dictators and tyrants. This is the most
Speaker 1: Unamerican shit that you could possibly ever see, and yet
Speaker 1: they are calling us traders. It is bizarre to me.
Speaker 1: So I want to read you this part of Jamal
Speaker 1: Bowie's op ed because it's stunning to me. He writes
Speaker 1: this at this moment an American life, He writes, it's
Speaker 1: conservatives who have set their sites abroad. Parts of the
Speaker 1: movement have even adopted a kind of anti Americanism, a
Speaker 1: contempt for the United States as it exists. These conservatives
Speaker 1: still call themselves patriots and disdain their opponents as traders,
Speaker 1: but there is an abstract loyalty to an idealized country
Speaker 1: when they contemplate the actual United States. And this is
Speaker 1: from Zach Baucamp, who wrote, who writes for a box?
Speaker 1: They are filled with scorn. I was listening to a
Speaker 1: clip of Tucker Carlson, which, by the way, in and
Speaker 1: of itself, makes me feel insane and like I need
Speaker 1: to put listerine in my ears or something like that
Speaker 1: to wash out the bacteria and the toxicity that comes
Speaker 1: out of that idiot's mouth. But I'm listening to him,
Speaker 1: and the way in which he talks about America, about
Speaker 1: our government is insane. It is like watching opposite day.
Speaker 1: He talks about the American government as if we currently
Speaker 1: the Biden and Harris administration are a bunch of dictators
Speaker 1: that are trying to destroy the country. Why because they
Speaker 1: want everyone in the United States to get a vaccine,
Speaker 1: a life saving vaccine, so that we don't add to
Speaker 1: our death toll of over six hundred thousand Americans dead
Speaker 1: under the last administration. You would think that Republicans would
Speaker 1: be outraged, right, Like, aren't they the party of pro life?
Speaker 1: And yet they are advocating fucking death. It's insane. You
Speaker 1: have ron Da Santis, the Satan as I like to
Speaker 1: call him, in Florida, who has put in place executive
Speaker 1: orders and mandates that don't allow school boards to dictate
Speaker 1: what is right for the kids of Florida, or for
Speaker 1: the teachers that are there and the administrators they voted
Speaker 1: to have mass in schools. They are following the CDC's guidelines.
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis and Greg Abbott in Texas, two of the
Speaker 1: hottest COVID hot zones in the fucking world, not just
Speaker 1: in the country, but in the fucking world, don't want
Speaker 1: you to be able to mask your children. So what
Speaker 1: they are saying then, is that they are pro murder,
Speaker 1: right like. And I don't understand why mainstream media keeps
Speaker 1: using euphemism for these people that are actively creating policy
Speaker 1: that will kill you, right like, are we waiting to
Speaker 1: see how many kids are going to die in these
Speaker 1: states or going to become so severely ill that they're
Speaker 1: going to need to be hospitalized? And then what is
Speaker 1: de Satan gonna say? Oops? Right? And I'm wondering again,
Speaker 1: where the fuck are these massive lawsuits against these governors.
Speaker 1: You know, here's a funny story. And by funny, I
Speaker 1: don't mean like funny, ha ha, I mean funny, like
Speaker 1: fucking dumb. So listen to this. There is a congressman.
Speaker 1: I can't make this up. I cannot There's a Congressman
Speaker 1: Ralph Norman, Republican out of South Carolina. Also, what the
Speaker 1: fuck is wrong with South Carolina? Like you have Lindsey
Speaker 1: Graham who got COVID because he was on a boat
Speaker 1: trip with Joe Manchin, which again and did not get
Speaker 1: the kind of fucking headlines that it should be getting.
Speaker 1: Because I want to know, Joe Mansion is, you know,
Speaker 1: the man of the hour, the man that says no
Speaker 1: to everything, no to ending the filibuster, no to stopping
Speaker 1: voter suppression. Like this man just no to doing anything
Speaker 1: about climate change as literally the oceans are on fire, right,
Speaker 1: But he's the cold king of West Virginia. This man,
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham gets COVID. Now Ralph Norman, who is suing
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, suing Nancy Pelosi over her mask mandate for
Speaker 1: the floor of the house. This motherfucker got COVID. He's
Speaker 1: suing Nancy Pelosi for the five hundred dollars fine because
Speaker 1: she's finding these motherfuckers now they don't want to wear
Speaker 1: a mask on the floor. Great, we're gonna keep giving
Speaker 1: you fines. And frankly, I don't think that five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars is enough. I think that you should be finding
Speaker 1: them a thousand dollars every single day. Right, these people,
Speaker 1: you know clearly they got money to burn. So listen
Speaker 1: to this. This is from Bloomberg. Representative Ralph Norman of
Speaker 1: South Carolina may have to put his lawsuit against how
Speaker 1: Speaker Nancy Pelosi over mass mandates on hold. He announced
Speaker 1: last week that he had contracted a breakthrough COVID nineteen infection.
Speaker 1: The South Carolina Republican is suing Pelosi for a five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars fine imposed on him for not wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: Representatives the other Idiots, Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massey,
Speaker 1: Republican of Kentucky, were also fined, and they joined him
Speaker 1: in the lawsuit. I wonder if they joined him, you know,
Speaker 1: in COVID as well. So here's the thing. This is
Speaker 1: what their lawyers wrote. The masking requirement was an attempt
Speaker 1: to prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, medicine, and science,
Speaker 1: despite a deep divide over these issues of opinion. This
Speaker 1: is not a matter of opinion, right. That's like saying, well,
Speaker 1: you know scientists say that the sky is blue, Well,
Speaker 1: my opinion is it's orange, Right, So then it must
Speaker 1: be orange. Right, No, it's not. There are not two
Speaker 1: sides of this issue, but much in the same way
Speaker 1: that mainstream media loves to have this both side is
Speaker 1: m because they like to feel like they can be neutral.
Speaker 1: And what do we know about neutrality? Right Like, you
Speaker 1: cannot sit on the fence about this particular issue because
Speaker 1: you will die, right Like, you follow the science. This
Speaker 1: idiot didn't want to wear a mask on the floor
Speaker 1: of the house, and now he has a breakthrough infection
Speaker 1: of COVID, right like, which we know is happening and
Speaker 1: can happen. Why would you put yourself at risk? Right Like?
Speaker 1: Why are people so fucking stupid? I I literally do
Speaker 1: not get it. You know. Somebody tweeted the other day
Speaker 1: and they said, I had this horrible nightmare where there
Speaker 1: was a life saving vaccine but millions of people wouldn't
Speaker 1: take it and so millions died. And then the person said, oh,
Speaker 1: that actually wasn't a nightmare. That's the reality that we
Speaker 1: are living right now. Do you know that there are
Speaker 1: people around the world that are clamoring for this vaccine
Speaker 1: but their country doesn't have enough. We are overflowing with vaccines.
Speaker 1: We have enough vaccine for every American to be vaccinated,
Speaker 1: that is between twelve and up. But we have breakout
Speaker 1: COVID cases and hotspots all across the country because people
Speaker 1: are demanding the right to get sick and make everyone
Speaker 1: around them sick. I told you last week that we
Speaker 1: are at delta plus variant right now, delta plus. There
Speaker 1: is another mutation on top of the delta that we've
Speaker 1: been talking about. There is also a lambda variant. These
Speaker 1: viruses are never going away. And it's like Republicans just
Speaker 1: want us all sick and desperate. And I want you
Speaker 1: to think about why. And I go back to Jamal
Speaker 1: Bowie's article in The New York Times, the Making of
Speaker 1: a Tyrant, which everyone needs to watch on Netflix, so
Speaker 1: that you can understand what the fuck is coming our way.
Speaker 1: When we are sick, when we are desperately out of work,
Speaker 1: when we cannot have our basic needs met, we are
Speaker 1: at each other's throats, which is prime ground, fertile ground
Speaker 1: for autocracy. That's what Republicans ultimately want. They want Americans
Speaker 1: to be sick, They want us to be desperate. Right,
Speaker 1: They actually are actively hoping that the Biden administration fails. Right,
Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment, because I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I did not like George Bush right, w
Speaker 1: I didn't like hw Bush right, But I didn't want
Speaker 1: them to fail because their failure, right would mean my failure.
Speaker 1: Because we live in the same fucking country. But we
Speaker 1: have moved to a place where in our politics we
Speaker 1: are totally okay with the right wing advocating for and
Speaker 1: hoping for the failure of a democratic president because they
Speaker 1: have already decided they are no longer a part of
Speaker 1: this country. Right when you are at how do you
Speaker 1: call yourself a patriot? How do you say that you
Speaker 1: are an American and you are advocating for the failure
Speaker 1: of an administration that is doing its best to save
Speaker 1: the American public. Rand Paul the other day was on
Speaker 1: the news talking about the fact, lying, lying about the
Speaker 1: fact that the Biden administration is picking up migrant children
Speaker 1: with COVID and spreading them around the United States. What
Speaker 1: in the fucking world would make that man say those things? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: he supported a president who put children in cages that
Speaker 1: we actually have proof of. Right, What we also know
Speaker 1: and have been learning is that there were massive cover ups.
Speaker 1: And I talked about this too, massive cover ups of
Speaker 1: the amount of children and people in these concentration camps
Speaker 1: that got COVID because of the unsanitary conditions. And remember
Speaker 1: the Trump administration went to court so that they could
Speaker 1: legally not provide sanitary conditions for migrants, right. Remember that
Speaker 1: they didn't want to give them soap or toothbrushes, right,
Speaker 1: or blankets. And I keep thinking to myself, especially now
Speaker 1: that we are learning about residential schools, in the way
Speaker 1: in which this country and others stole Native American children
Speaker 1: from their tribes, from their families, forced them into these
Speaker 1: schools where they were forced and beaten into assimilation into
Speaker 1: white eurocentric culture. And if they weren't, they were beaten
Speaker 1: or they were killed, and they were mass graves. And
Speaker 1: I keep wondering to myself, what are we going to
Speaker 1: really uncover about what went on during the Trump administration
Speaker 1: in these detention centers, in these holding cells, not just
Speaker 1: for kids, but for all of these undocumented people. We
Speaker 1: were housing folks in Texas in open air prisons like
Speaker 1: it was the fucking Gaza Strip. And I want an
Speaker 1: investigation into that. I want an investigation into so much
Speaker 1: because I believe that all of these things are connected,
Speaker 1: and all of it is leading us to an autocracy
Speaker 1: because that's what Republicans want. And if we don't call
Speaker 1: these things out, if we don't say the truth out
Speaker 1: loud with strong language, that we are going to be
Speaker 1: caught off guard. And I don't want us to be
Speaker 1: caught off guard because they are literally telling us what
Speaker 1: they are doing, and we're pretending that we still have
Speaker 1: a two party system. That is it for Today's Woke,
