Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Meet your Girl Daniel Moody, recording from the home bunker. So,
first off, a little exciting news. It's raining in New
York City right now as I record this. Why is
that major news, Well, because it hasn't rained in fucking months.

(00:32):
It did not rain the entire month of October, and
here we are more than halfway through the month of
November and it is finally raining. This is after multiple
brush fires that have happened in the parks here name
one closest where I could literally smell as I was

(00:55):
leaving my home, the Fire and Prospect Park. New York
City has been under a drought warning for the last
several weeks, with the our fucking criminal ass mayor telling
people to you know, limit the amount of water that
they use, you know, to not run water unnecessarily, to

(01:17):
you know, be limited in the amount of flushing folks.
This is climate change. This is what this looks like.
This is what is entirely problematic and unnecessary because we
know what to do in order to stop it. But greed, selfishness, right,

(01:38):
and power and consumption is what rules the day. And
so as this gets worse. Right, we are going to
have to adapt in extraordinary ways in order to keep
some semblance of normalcy. But I will tell you that
it is not normal to live in New York City

(01:59):
and to be talking about brush fires and fire season
actually happening here. But we have been lulled into this
place that oh, well, this is just the climate, and
this is what happens. No, this is what happens when
you deal with and elect politicians who could give a fuck, right,

(02:20):
who are just in it to take take from this
planet and not think about or deal with the consequences.
I don't know how often right that I pull up
on social media and see historic flooding in London, historic
flooding in Iran, historic flooding right in all these different countries,

(02:43):
historic fires, historic flooding, or historic droughts. It's like, when
are people going to fucking get it when the water
stops coming out of the pipes and then the same
people who didn't do anything to stop this from happening
then start charging you ten dollars a fucking bottle for
water to wash your body and wash your food with,

(03:05):
because that's what's going to happen. So today I'm just
like you know, I'm both happy at the fact that
it's raining, but also sad and feel like I'm living
in the middle of a sci fi horror novel at
the fact that it was gleeful to hear that against
my window today. Nonetheless, the breaking news that you will

(03:28):
indeed have heard by the time that you are listening
to this is that Matt Gates has withdrawn himself from
consideration as Attorney General of the United States. He went recently,
accompanied by JD. Vance, to Capitol Hill to shore up

(03:49):
his support with the Senators, and basically that didn't go
so well. And it didn't go well for a number
of reasons, probably really not high up on that list,
that the man is a sexual predator, and that their
if their report, which the House Ethics Committee refuses to release,

(04:10):
actually exonerated him. I'm certain that it would be all
splashed on the cover of every newspaper and headline story
on cable news. But because we know that this man
has been paying for sex from underage women, that he
is seemingly been putting together drug fueled sex parties, how

(04:38):
in God's name do we think that he should have
ever been in consideration for Attorney General. But the funny
thing is is that I don't even think that the
Republican senators said no to him because of his sexual
deviant behavior, right Like, I don't even think that that
was the thing. I think it's the fact that he's
just an asshole and has made so many enemies on

(05:02):
Capitol Hill with his antics that folks did not want about.
Because here's the thing, if you actually gave a damn
about sexual predatory behavior, then Donald Trump would not be
the president elect of these United States, right Like, if

(05:22):
you actually cared about violence perpetrated against women, then Brett
Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would not be Supreme Court justices.
So while I would love to say, oh, Matt Gates
Withdrew because of the allegations of sex with a minor

(05:44):
and the sex trafficking investigation that was ongoing at the
Department of Justice, that those are the reasons why he
won't be Attorney general, I don't think that that is
the case. I think that he burned considerable amount of
brisk throughout his career in Congress, which he now doesn't
have anymore because he resigned his post in a way

(06:06):
to stop the report from coming out and also to
make room for his new position as a g But
do I think that this is the end of Matt Gates. Unfortunately,
I don't think so, because much like Gremlins, this motherfucker
will just keep coming back. And I'm certain that Donald

(06:27):
Trump will find a position for him that does not
require Senate confirmation so that he can still be bentrolled
by taxpayers in this country to continue with his disgusting,
deviant behavior. You know what is funny to me and

(06:47):
not funny, haha, is that it would be great if
he were the only person that were embroiled in a
sexually violent case. But no, it's Donald Trump, and the
thread that runs through a number of his nominees is

(07:08):
sexual violence against women. Up next, you have Pete Segweth
from Fox and Friends, who a twenty two page police
report was just released where it indicates that Pete Hagseth
sexually assaulted a woman in twenty seventeen. Now, to be

(07:31):
clear and to be fair, he was not charged with
a crime. He was not charged for this alleged sexual assault,
but there was indeed a police filing and he did
in fact pay this person off who said that they
were going to go public again my whole thing. Folks,

(07:54):
you wouldn't have to pay somebody off if you were innocent.
Those are my thoughts right Seemingly again another thread, Donald
Trump paid off Stormy Daniels right in order to keep quiet,
not because he really cared about cheating on his wife,
but because he didn't want her to blow up his

(08:18):
chances in twenty sixteen of being president of the United States.
But now we know that again violence against women, right,
sexual assault, None of this actually matters. And it just
pains me how little we care about women in this country.

(08:38):
I mean, obviously it was evidenced by the treatment, the misogyny,
the deep misogyny and racism that the vice president experienced
on the campaign trail and in the headline in the
headline news. But it's like when you see these nominees
come forth, you're just like, really, you couldn't pick any

(08:59):
other republic But evidently they're all in some form or fashion,
tied up in some type of sexual scandal and normally
sexual abuse. And so when Donald Trump says that he
surrounds himself with the best people, you just yeah, birds
of a feather flock together. You know, you had Jeffrey Epstein,

(09:21):
saying that he was one of Donald Trump's best friends
for over ten years. Jeffrey Epstein, We know notorious sex trafficker. Right,
the violence that he rained down on young women and
girls for however long for the pleasure of powerful, wealthy men. Right.

(09:42):
Donald Trump met his current wife Milania on the Lolita plane,
Jeffrey Epstein's plane. So it's it's not it's like, what
do they say that sexual assault and violence against women
is not a ga of the Republican Party. It is
a feature of the Republican Party, and it's just something

(10:06):
that we've kind of just shrugged our shoulders about, as
these people want to profess some type of moral piety
above the rest of us, when I'm just like, look
at your fucking rap sheet, yo, Like it is extraordinarily disgusting.
Speaking of disgusting, Nancy Mace Representative Nancy Mace and her

(10:33):
segregationist crusade against newly elected openly trans Member of Congress
Representative Sarah McBride. What Nancy Mace has been doing with
the introduction of these vicious, disgusting discrimination bills in the

(10:54):
House of Representatives is nothing other than resurrecting Jim Crow. Now,
there are plenty of black people who will say to me, Denielle,
do not equate what is happening with trans people into
what has happened with black people in this country. Here's
my answer to that. Here's my reply is that I

(11:17):
do not have a hierarchy of discrimination, because what you
need to recognize, what all people need to recognize, is
that the tactics are the same. The target changes from
generation to generation and then back again to the original. Bathrooms, restaurants, polls,

(11:40):
public spaces in general, schoolhouses were all the places that
white supremacists wanted segregated from the black community. Right, we
look at in museums, the whites only and colored only signs,

(12:02):
water fountains, pools, et cetera. The belief being that what
black people were undeserving, not in the same class, not
in the same uh human humanity, right, realm as white people.
Now it's trans people, now, it's immigrants, right, folks, It's

(12:25):
the same fucking devil, but a different fucking era. And
I wish that mainstream corporate media would talk about this
as what it is, segregation. Nancy Mace is a segregationist.
Mike Johnson is a segregationist. The Republican Party is a

(12:47):
segregationist party. Today it's trans people and immigrants. Tomorrow it's
back to black people and back to Jewish people and
Muslim people. So for folks that want you play the
hierarchy bullshit game and become crabs in a barrel, let
me remind you that your number will be called too.

(13:10):
Sarah McBride should not have to be battling this fight alone,
and as a matter of fact, has just acquiesced and
said that she would just follow whatever rules it were
that were put forward by Mike Johnson, and there are
many people that are angry with her for doing so.
She said that she does not want to be a

(13:30):
distraction that she wants to She was elected to advance
the needs of Delaware people that put her in office,
and that may in fact be true. But by her
accepting segregation as just rules that need to be followed,
you are sending a ripple effect across the country that

(13:55):
tells trans people that you need to just accept your fate.
And for me, that is not okay. And also, she
should not have to be fighting this battle alone with
just some singular voices like Representative AOC and Representative Pocan

(14:16):
who have come out publicly right as well as Representative
Jasmine Crockett who has come out publicly to read Nancy
Mace for filth. But that anger, that tone should have
been the entirety of the Democratic Party and calling the

(14:37):
Republican crusade against trans people what it is Jim Crow
two point zero. They are segregationists because if you can
take out the word transgender and put in any other label,
any other group, and all of a sudden it's like,
well that's not okay. If it's not okay for you,
then it should not be okay for them. Crimination is

(15:00):
discrimination and it needs to be called out for what
the fuck it is. Lastly, I will say that our
voices still do matter, and I know that people are
still continuing to wake up from the haze and the
shock of this election, and I know that many of you,

(15:26):
like myself, are vacillating up and down in your emotions
on a daily, if not an hourly basis. But the
fact is that obeying in advance is not an option,
and that also means just tapping yourself out. You can
take breaks so that you don't have a break down,

(15:47):
but you have to remember that the margin that Donald
Trump won by is the slimmest that it has ever
been in modern history. There is not a mandate here.
There is still room for us to raise our voices
so that the entirety of America does not go down

(16:10):
the drain. But there is a part of me, friends,
that has come to recognize and believe that maybe this
darkness right this time is actually necessary because I think
that if Kamala Harris had been elected, then a lot
of us would have just gone back to being complacent.

(16:30):
The fact is is that the systems are broken and
Donald Trump and his clown car are going to destroy
them altogether. But the question is what is rebuilt in
its place is not up to them. It is going
to be up to us. So sometimes right a fire

(16:51):
is necessary for clearing and if we can just alter
our thinking and our perspective around that truth, then may
maybe we can start to see the opportunity inside of
the obstacles that we are being presented with, because that
is where I would like to take these conversations moving forward.

(17:13):
I'm not going to be providing a blow by blow
of all of the bad things that are going to
come out of this administration, because all it is doing
right if having people lose faith not only in our institutions,
but in each other. So the questions that we have
to be asking ourselves moving forward, right is that after

(17:34):
they're finished burning this shit down, what is it that
we want to be put in its place? That's the
real question. Friends, do join me over on YouTube. The
