Speaker 1

Good morning, Peepsen. Welcome to willk F Daily with Meet Your Girl Danny L. Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, let me start out by saying, I went into the wrong line of business. I gotta tell you, if I had known that you could make so much money being a elected official, then maybe I would have decided to run for office. But then you also run the risk as a person of color ending up in prison, which is where Mayor Eric Adams is headed. So what has

gone down while, folks, Adams has finally been indicted. I don't often delve into New York specific politics on this show and try and keep things really about national politics and national headlines. But we all know, particularly those that live in New York, how important New York is in terms of our body politic and kind of what happens in New York often has ripple effects around the rest

of the country. So Mayor Adams has been under a cloud of suspicion about his potential grifting, alleged grifting that he has been doing off the office of mayor. And in the last couple of days you've had the chancellor of New York Public Schools resign You've had the police commissioner resign and I believe that we are going to have more resignations following those resignations, and the mayor's home

last year right being rated, laptops phones being taken. Well, what we've learned in the indictment that happened earlier this week is that this mayor is being charged with and let me read it out to you. Five charges are in the indictment and here they are. Tell me if

these sound familiar to you. Count one conspiracy to commit wire fraud, solicit foreign contributions and accept bribes, related to accusations that Adams illegally accepted travel and gifts through the Turkish government, solicited the illegal foreign contributions into his campaign from Turkish businessmen, and improperly influenced the approval of the

Turkish consulate in New York City. Count number two wire fraud related to accusations that Adams fraudulently accepted public matching funds for his campaign by improperly certifying contributions that were made via straw donors, concealing the true sources of the donations. Two counts of solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national related to accusations that Adams solicited and received improper

campaign contributions through foreign citizens. And then the final charge, one count of bribery related to accusations that Adams solicited free and heavily discounted foreign luxury travel in exchange for helping to obtain approval by the Fire department officials of

New Turkish Consulate. So when you look at these charges, right, bribery, wire fraud, you look at these anything to your side, and you hear in the press conference that was done by Damian Williams, who is the prosecuting attorney in this case from the Southern District of New York, who also just indicted and put P Diddy, who was awaiting his trial in jail. He's busy man. When we look at these charges, and Damian Williams laid out all of the upgrades to first class, all of the upgrades to suites

in these luxury hotels. Who does that sound like to y'all? Does it sound like a certain justice we may know

on the Supreme Court? And what I said on Twitter the other day when this news broke is that, honestly, Eric Adams just was in the wrong political job to commit these crimes because had he been the President of the United States or had ambitions higher than Mayor or had decided to one day be a Supreme Court justice, then these types of quote unquote gifts would be totally covered, right, because the Supreme Court just has allowed for the President

of the United States to do anything in their official capacity, which includes apparently taking any type of bribes or asking for eleven seven and forty votes. Though, and if you are a Supreme Court justice, then it's okay for you to have your mortgage paid for, to have your kids school paid for, It's okay to have multiple luxury vacations, all of these things, and that not be a problem. Friends. And so what I find totally fucking troubling is that

Mayor Adams. While I don't like this man at all and believe that he will get what is coming to him, the fact is is that, like, what's the difference between what the fuck he's done and what Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas have done. It's just a difference of position. So explain to me how we know that Clarence Thomas has been on the take for over two decades, but it's still sitting on the bench making decisions based on the favors that he is going to receive from right

wing billionaires. So Eric Adams goes ahead and does the same thing, except he's a mayor and he's doing it with the Turkish government. Donald Trump did it right Russia, if you're listening. So again, I just feel like there is all of these different layers of injustice that is happening.

Mayor Adams, He's a shitty fucking mayor. How the people of New York lost out on Maya on Maya Wiley as being our mayor and decided to go with this fucking cop who up until recently had closed down our libraries on Sundays, talking about oh, fiscal responsibility while giving millions of dollars to the police department. Right like taking away investments into social goods in order to ensure that

his buddies are flush. I mean that the corruption is just a bounds in politics, but only certain people get to be held accountable. You look over at Senator Menendez, right, who is also indicted gold bricks in his closet, take it all, luxury trips and gifts and all of these things. So again he's in the wrong position Senator is not ranking enough in order to assume that level of grift.

So it's like, you're able to do these things so long as you're in the right position to do them in That's basically what our legal system is telling us. If you are the president of the United States, if you are a Supreme Court justice, then that is apparently a part of your job description, your ability to grift. But for every other position it becomes a criminal act. Right. That is serious and we need to take it seriously.

So look, I think that more t is going to spill in New York around the web that was created for Adams to secure all sorts of gifts. I mean, there is another story coming out that he basically stole ten million dollars from New York City that was meant set aside, again for public goods, but he doled that out.

Like it's enough to make someone who is already cynical about our government and how government works, city, state, you know, federal level, and just be like, I throw my hands up, honestly, So that Adams case, I'll continue to give you all a little insight into but you know, like I'll say, a grift of gone grift you just apparently need to be in the right role in order to get away

with it. That's how our politics works. I want to turn my attention now to the Race Republican Party and representative Klay Haiggens and his recent disgusting, disparaging statements that he made on his official account on social media where he decided to completely and totally disparage the Haitian community. Where I don't even want to relay what was said, but I think that it is important and so I will. Here's what he tweeted. Quote. These Haitians are wild eating pets, voodoo,

nastiest country in the Western Hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters. But Dan if they don't feel all sophisticated now filing charges against our president and VP all these thus better get their mind right and they're asset of our country before January twentieth. Yes, that is indeed what a sitting representative from the state of Louisiana put on his official Twitter

and then took it down. When the Fisher Price Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, was asked about whether or not he condones these statements, he did the wonderful diversion of oh I didn't see it, so I can't comment. Here's a little tip for journalists out there covering, you know, politics, have the tweet handy, pull it up on your phone, have it printed out. Oh you haven't seen it. I'm glad that you said that. Here it is. We'll give you a moment to read it. Would you like me

to read it out loud to you? Now? Tell me what your thoughts are. So what Mike Johnson found himself doing after this is this, folks. This was Johnson's comments. Clay Haagens is a dear friend of mine because apparently all your dear friends are racist, and a colleague from Louisiana and a very frank and outspoken person. He's also a very principled man. I didn't even see it, but he tweeted something today about Haitians. Reporter. He told them

to get out of the country. By January twentieth, Johnson, okay, he was approached on the floor by colleagues who said that was offensive. He said he went back and he prayed about it, and he regretted it, and he pulled the post down. I'm sure he probably regrets the language

he used. But you know, we move forward. We believe in redemption here, fuck off, Fuck all the way off, because he prayed on it and then did he disrupt that prayer to go on CNN where he said that he can say whatever the hell he wants and he stands by it. Was that reflected in his prayer as well, Johnson, who wants to use religion as some type of shield

from ignorant, racist, disgusting behavior. You see, folks, when people say things like not all Republicans are bad and there are some good Republicans, show me where point them out, because I can't name a Republican that is in the House of Representatives that warrants that type of benefit of the doubt. If it walks like a racist duck, talks like a racist duck, guess what, it's a fucking racist. Clay Higgins is the Republican Party, and the Republican Party

is Clay Higgins. Right, So whether or not they are spreading lies or as jd. Vance said, creating stories right the euphemism for lying in order to drum up fear, hate, and toxicity that can cost people their lives. Because to date, folks, there have been over thirty bomb threats that have happened in Springfield, Ohio, since Donald Trump lied about Springfield, Ohio and continues to do so, and so I applaud the Haitian Bridge Alliance for filing criminal charges against both Donald

Trump and JD. Vance because why shouldn't they be charged? Children have been kept out of school, municipality buildings have been closed down. And once again, it is those people that are made to be targets of whose lives are endangered, that have more courage than the Republican elected officials who just want to talk about language on both sides and how it's not quote unquote helpful grow a fucking backbone.

But I don't know who we would expect to do that in this day and age, right, because all Donald Trump has to do is say that he'll send out a tweet or truth so or whatever it is that he does, and those people scamper away. And that's how he's been able to check this entire party because they're not strong people, they're not strong men. They costplay masculinity because being strong would look like standing up to a bully and saying, you know what you need to stop.

But once again, it is black people that are doing the hard work of both trying to protect themselves and hold the violent people accountable for placing harm on their lives. Shock. Also, I don't even like to talk about this woman, and I probably rarely talk about her on here because I often have to talk about her on the New Abnormal Representative Nancy Mace another fucking racist, right, the representative that the mainstream corporate media wanted to hold up at one

time as like the normal moderate Republican. I guess in comparison to Marjorie Taylor Green, right, I guess if that's your barometer. But Nancy Mays introduced legislation about quote unquote illegal alien women who are causing violence and once again went on a racist, horrific tirade about how no Democrat voted for her racist piece of legislation. I'm just so sick and tired. And what kills me is that this

election is razor thin. What kills me is that we have a fifty to fifty toss up chance that these people continue to have control over the House of Representatives and get the White House and already have the MAGA Court, and get the Senate. And you know what, I want to spend the rest of my time today talking about is the fact that fifty percent of white women are still going to vote for Donald Trump. According to recent polls, fifty percent. You had over fifty percent in twenty sixteen.

He increased the numbers in twenty twenty and now even following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, fifty percent of white women are like, yeah, I don't need control over my own body. Donald Trump said not to worry my pretty little head, So I'm not going to. I'm not even gonna use whatever brains I have inside of it. I don't understand this demographic and I just honestly I never will and I know that every time, and I you know it. Just did a video on my YouTube

and it's entitled under Trump's Eye. And if you go over to YouTube and you type in Danielle Moody channel, my channel will come up, and I encourage you all to subscribe. But in it, I'm just like, I am baffled, and I really I ask, you know, the fifty percent of saying white women like, what the fuck is wrong with your people? I don't get it. I don't get like how deep I guess the internal eye misogyny is, how deep the self hate is that you would give over your power to a man that said that he

could grab you by the pussy. Another one who said that the only role for postmenopausal women is to be the caretakers for what women that can still procreate, like the way that this party talks about and treats women. And still fifty percent of white women are like, yeah, this is my party. I don't get it. I don't understand it. And I told this little anecdote earlier in

the week. I was in London for a panel discussion, and I was coming down the stairs checking out of my hotel, and I hear this white American woman, she looked to be in her sixties, talking with a white English guy who seemingly also looked like he was in his sixties. And I hear the English guy saying, oh, yeah, you know, they they're throwing all these charges at Donald Trump, like rape and like Baulblan saying it in like this questioning manner. And this white woman said, Oh, it's all

a lie. It's all a lie. And even if it is, JFK sleft with women too, So what's the big deal, what's the big deal? And I say this, folks, seriously, I'm like, white, straight, pseudo Christian men have caused so much havoc in this country and around the world, and we never look to the white women that mother these monsters and say the fuck is wrong with you? We will pathologize every other group, right, make them the cause.

But when it comes to white women and how they have parented men like Trump in dvance, monsters like Joe Rogan and Steve Vannen and Stephen Miller, right, like just these incredible, toxic, disgusting people, And we never look to white women and say, you have births and mothered your oppressors, and y'all are just okay. We're doing that over and over and over again. They see you as nothing more than a baby factory for white supremacy, and you're good

with that. It's wild to me, it truly is. I will continue to be forever baffled by it and our inability as a society to actually want to get to and ask the real questions around this. Why this cycle continues to go on. It's like a rinse and repeat of white supremacy. And when people lie to themselves and say, oh,

racism will die out, how does that happen? How How does that happen when there is no disruption in the education, There is no disruption in the white supremact ideology that it is just continued to be reinforced, not only in the home, in school and in society. So how will it ever die out? There's no incentive for it too. That is where I leave things today on WOKF dear friends. As always, power to the people and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
