Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to ok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Daniel Moody recording from the home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: Happy fuck it Friday, Happy holiday weekend, happy beginning of summer.
Speaker 1: You all know that I am dubbing this summer America's
Speaker 1: last summer, right, because if we don't get our shit
Speaker 1: together by the time that November rolls around, you will
Speaker 1: look at this and this will in fact have been
Speaker 1: America's last summer, America's last summer of freedom, you know, liberty, joy,
Speaker 1: the things that make America worth visiting, coming to existing in. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: as you head into this holiday weekend, do not forget
Speaker 1: that the Damn Shop is open at danielmody dot com
Speaker 1: and check out the Future is Woke capsule t shirt, sweatshirts,
Speaker 1: tots oh my, and pick some up for this holiday weekend.
Speaker 1: As you get ready to support your summer look outside,
Speaker 1: So do head over to Daniellemoody dot com, click on
Speaker 1: the Damn Shop and shop until you drop, all right, folks.
Speaker 1: So you know, as we close out this week, I
Speaker 1: just I don't even know where to begin with the
Speaker 1: stories that came out and like the videos that I've
Speaker 1: made and what people say in the comment sections. But
Speaker 1: I want to talk about one video in particular, one
Speaker 1: that I put up yesterday, which was a response to
Speaker 1: a comment I had received on TikTok that said, I
Speaker 1: hate that I have to vote for Biden, but I will, right.
Speaker 1: And the fact is that a lot of people hate
Speaker 1: that they have to vote for Biden, right, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: while I believe that if Netan Yahoo had not declared
Speaker 1: war on the Palestinian people, because that's what he's doing.
Speaker 1: That's what he's done. It's not about Hamas. And also
Speaker 1: this isn't really a war because when one of the
Speaker 1: entities is backed by the strongest military and a bottomless
Speaker 1: pit of cash from one of the wealthiest and strongest
Speaker 1: nations in the world, and then the other is not.
Speaker 1: And it's just tens of thousands, you know, of civilians
Speaker 1: being slaughtered and children and horrendous war crimes that are happening,
Speaker 1: and all of these things, and America just keeps on, American,
Speaker 1: you know, just keeps on with their iron clad, fucking
Speaker 1: support for homicidal, genocidal maniac. You know, I believe that
Speaker 1: had none of this happened, then Biden would actually be
Speaker 1: in fairly good shape right now, that the hardest thing
Speaker 1: that people would have to say about him is his age,
Speaker 1: right like, oh, he's too old to do the job,
Speaker 1: you know, and we needed somebody and somebody should step in, sure,
Speaker 1: But like now, people have real issue with this administration,
Speaker 1: regardless of the good things that they had done prior
Speaker 1: to the support of Net Nyahu. The unwavering support of
Speaker 1: net Yahoo that is costing Biden, the youth vote, that
Speaker 1: is costing Biden black and brown people, that is costing
Speaker 1: Biden his base which he can afford to lose. But
Speaker 1: when I post these videos where folks you listen to me,
Speaker 1: I am very honest about how difficult, how hard of
Speaker 1: a pill this is going to be to swallow. Because
Speaker 1: I'm a person that believes in liberty and justice for
Speaker 1: all people. I believe that all people, regardless of how
Speaker 1: they worship, who they love, where they live, you know,
Speaker 1: their sexual orientation, gender identity, regardless, that all people should
Speaker 1: be treated as human beings met with love and kindness,
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to live full and complete lives of
Speaker 1: their choosing. I believe that for people inside of this
Speaker 1: country and all over the world. But I do know
Speaker 1: that that is not the truth. It is far from
Speaker 1: the truth, because when you look at what is happening
Speaker 1: in Gaza, if you scroll right and you see what
Speaker 1: is happening in Sudan, and you see what is happening
Speaker 1: in Congo, in order to produce the phone that I'm
Speaker 1: recording on right now, there are millions of child slaves
Speaker 1: that are digging for cobalt, one of the core minerals
Speaker 1: that makes this phone. We're so detached from how we
Speaker 1: get our hands on things, whether it's our food, our electronics,
Speaker 1: we don't care so long as we have it and
Speaker 1: it's cheap. But we never pause and ask ourselves how
Speaker 1: it got here in the first place, Just like on
Speaker 1: October seven, people didn't pause and say to themselves, how
Speaker 1: did we get to this place? Nothing happens out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: And for every effect, there is a cause. For every reaction,
Speaker 1: there is an action. And I think that we need
Speaker 1: to start being a lot more conscious of our role
Speaker 1: and responsibility of causing the suffering of others. We take
Speaker 1: it upon ourselves to vote every two and every four years,
Speaker 1: every time that there is an election, right to continue
Speaker 1: with our way of life. But do we ever think
Speaker 1: about how our choices affect other people's way of life.
Speaker 1: Other people that we'll never meet, but because of our actions,
Speaker 1: because of our choices, they live in suffering. Before October seventh,
Speaker 1: we never paid collectively any attention to what was happening
Speaker 1: in Palestine, what our tax dollars have been funding for
Speaker 1: the last seventy five years, the apartheid, the utter despair
Speaker 1: and hopelessness. Also that we can say that we weren't
Speaker 1: anti Semitic, but clearly anti Muslim, clearly anti Palestinian. In
Speaker 1: order to support one group, you shouldn't have to oppress another.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that should be the way that
Speaker 1: that should be. The seesaw that we're on right. So
Speaker 1: if I support black lives, that means that I hate
Speaker 1: white lives. No. If I support right the Jewish people
Speaker 1: right to exist, does that mean that I hate Islam? No?
Speaker 1: Because I want LGBTQ people to live free and trans
Speaker 1: people to live free from violence and persecution. Does that
Speaker 1: mean that I don't like straight people or CIS folks. No.
Speaker 1: But we have been built into this scarcity mindset where
Speaker 1: if you have that means that somebody else can't have.
Speaker 1: If I give you this right that means that I
Speaker 1: have to take away something from somebody else that's false.
Speaker 1: What would it look like for us to actually shift
Speaker 1: our mindset to one that is rooted in abundance, not
Speaker 1: locked into the impossibility of said situations, Because everything is
Speaker 1: impossible until it is actually possible. Right, Like, we know
Speaker 1: that that's not just a meme, it's not just a quote,
Speaker 1: it's the truth. People thought that it was going to
Speaker 1: be impossible to fly human beings from one spot to
Speaker 1: the next until it was done, impossible to go to
Speaker 1: the moon until it was done. So is it impossible
Speaker 1: for us to fathom of society that isn't built on greed, oppression,
Speaker 1: despair and hopelessness, that isn't built on this pyramid of
Speaker 1: lies and deception? Is it possible for us to coexist
Speaker 1: with corporations whose responsibility it is to tell us what
Speaker 1: the fuck is inside our food, to hold them accountable
Speaker 1: for polluting our environment, to force folks into better business
Speaker 1: practices that don't just serve the wealthy. It should not
Speaker 1: be impossible for us to imagine and do better. But
Speaker 1: we've been told for far too long that the way
Speaker 1: that we've been living is the only way, and it's
Speaker 1: not and right now even that way of being is
Speaker 1: completely and totally under attack. You know, people would often
Speaker 1: say that so long as like Americans had their you know,
Speaker 1: television which is behind me, or you know, their ability
Speaker 1: to consume as much as they want, then they wouldn't
Speaker 1: care about what was happening around them. And what I
Speaker 1: want to offer is that everything will change rapidly in
Speaker 1: this country if we open the door to fascism. Your
Speaker 1: ability to protest, your ability to send your child to
Speaker 1: a public school that is well funded, your ability to
Speaker 1: have bodily autonomy, your ability to see a doctor of
Speaker 1: your choice, your ability to watch what you want to
Speaker 1: sleep with whom you want to control your destiny will
Speaker 1: all go away. Take a look at what happens in
Speaker 1: other countries that are ruled by brutal dictators. You don't
Speaker 1: want a vacation in those places, let alone live in them.
Speaker 1: That's what this right wing wants to do with America.
Speaker 1: Isolate us from the world right because the world is
Speaker 1: not going to be able to trust us. Right We're
Speaker 1: going to back out of all of our agreements and treaties.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump already did that once, and he'll finish the job.
Speaker 1: Nothing will be about what is good for the American people.
Speaker 1: It'll be about what is good for his inner circle
Speaker 1: and everyone else be damned. There will be no middle class.
Speaker 1: There will be the super rich and the super poor.
Speaker 1: For those that have the ability to flee, they may
Speaker 1: may not have enough time, you know. I think about
Speaker 1: all of these things on a regular basis. It wakes
Speaker 1: me up at night because I genuinely do not believe
Speaker 1: that Americans are taking the options that we have in
Speaker 1: front of us. Seriously. Do I love Joe Biden, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really like him that much right now.
Speaker 1: But I hate Donald Trump, and I love my freedom more.
Speaker 1: I love my freedom to be black, to be queer, too,
Speaker 1: proudly be a child of immigrants, to do the work
Speaker 1: that I love, to critique government because I can right
Speaker 1: like think about the things that you love about your life,
Speaker 1: and think about some of the images and things that
Speaker 1: you've been scrolling through over the last several months. It's terrifying,
Speaker 1: not just because we're bearing witness to a genocide happening
Speaker 1: in real time on our phones, but because we know
Speaker 1: that it can happen here. And I think that there
Speaker 1: are some people that are still like, you know, in fantasyland, Oh,
Speaker 1: it will never happen in America. And I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: y'all still think that after you're watching Roe v. Wade
Speaker 1: be overturned, Affirmative action be overturned, right, Alabama reinstituting child
Speaker 1: labor books being banned, Like, we're still in a place
Speaker 1: of it could never happen here America. New to internment camps.
Speaker 1: Ask Japanese Americans. Ask the Native Americans who were forced
Speaker 1: onto reservations that now have the highest rates of every
Speaker 1: type of issue that you can imagine, disease, alcoholism, abuse,
Speaker 1: low education, right all because every right and every bit
Speaker 1: of land and every opportunity was stripped away from them.
Speaker 1: This country has done some serious fucking dirt and it
Speaker 1: will do it again. And people say, oh, well, the
Speaker 1: people will stop them. Really not if you don't have
Speaker 1: the ability to protest. You see what happens to the
Speaker 1: people in China when they might get up the courage
Speaker 1: to fight against their government, They are thrown into fucking
Speaker 1: work camps for the rest of their lives. Their families
Speaker 1: are ruined. We always say, like, why don't the people
Speaker 1: people push back, push back, and do what exactly ruin
Speaker 1: any opportunity, any chance for a better life that government
Speaker 1: doesn't ever forget. You get put on a list. Oh
Speaker 1: they can't take us all down, but they can take
Speaker 1: down enough to temper the rest. Folks used to ask
Speaker 1: themselves where would I be? What would I have been
Speaker 1: doing during the Civil rights movement? What side would I
Speaker 1: have been on? And we all wanted to see ourselves
Speaker 1: as the heroes of that story. A lot of us
Speaker 1: are not. We're actually the villain. So given the opportunity
Speaker 1: to do what's right, even though it's painful, what is
Speaker 1: the choice that we're going to make? And for those
Speaker 1: that want to be righteous, my consciousness won't allow me
Speaker 1: to vote for Joe Biden. How does a vote for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump help the Palestinian people, help the people in
Speaker 1: the Congo, help the people in the student How does
Speaker 1: it help anybody? I got to make a point. Okay,
Speaker 1: make that point in December when you have the ability
Speaker 1: to hold this administration to task, to push them to
Speaker 1: do what's right, because guess what, they're not running another election,
Speaker 1: So at that point all they're concerned about is legacy.
Speaker 1: Fight where you can fight with what you have but
Speaker 1: don't throw it all away and think that like that's
Speaker 1: going to be your major protest. What it will be
Speaker 1: is your last protest. That's for damn sure. You know.
Speaker 1: This week I talked about what has happened in Louisiana,
Speaker 1: what has happened in Virginia. These states are doing some
Speaker 1: terrifying shit and they're just getting away with it. News
Speaker 1: isn't even really covering it because you got every camera
Speaker 1: directed at Donald Trump. In the meantime, they are actualizing
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five. It's already in movement. The last
Speaker 1: piece of that puzzle is the White House to nationalize
Speaker 1: their plan, but that plan is already operational. Subjugate women,
Speaker 1: marginalize black people and people of color, get rid of
Speaker 1: the queer community, suppress any protests, make it illegal to protest,
Speaker 1: or in the case that we just saw that went
Speaker 1: before the Supreme Court and then was knocked back down right,
Speaker 1: which is that if you organize a protest and a
Speaker 1: police officer is injured, well, guess who's going to be
Speaker 1: financially liable that organizer. That's going to take away the
Speaker 1: right to protest real quick. In three states already, Ron
Speaker 1: de Santis has already made it legal for you to
Speaker 1: run over a protester and that not be vehicular madislaughter.
Speaker 1: So their plans are already operationalized. Where what stands between
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five becoming law of the land or not.
Speaker 1: I don't care where you are, if you're in a
Speaker 1: quote unquote safe state or not. This election is too important.
Speaker 1: All hands on deck. You got friends in the battleground states,
Speaker 1: You got family in the fucking battleground states. You get
Speaker 1: on the phone with them now, you talk to them
Speaker 1: every goddamn week. What you do and what's your plan,
Speaker 1: what you think and what you're seeing. We all have
Speaker 1: got to do our part. And then some you will
Speaker 1: hear me vacillate on this podcast and others about my
Speaker 1: disgust for this administration and what they're doing. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like the person in my
Speaker 1: comment section set, I hate that I have to vote
Speaker 1: for Biden, but I will. I don't fucking love my choices.
Speaker 1: Sometimes in life, guess what, we don't get to love them.
Speaker 1: But right now we still have choices. So as we
Speaker 1: head into this holiday weekend, I hope, folks, that you
Speaker 1: get outside, that you connect with loved ones. But you
Speaker 1: know what, keep having these hard conversations. Do you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, Oh, I can't talk to that uncle,
Speaker 1: I can't talk to that aunt. They're crazy. Talk to
Speaker 1: them anyway, figure it out. We got to break through
Speaker 1: any way that we can find the through line and
Speaker 1: go to work. That is it for me today, Dear
Speaker 1: friends on wokef as always power to the people and
Speaker 1: to all the people. Power yet woke and stay woke
Speaker 1: as fuck.
