Speaker 1

Good morning, keeps, and welcome to wikate f Daily with me your girl Daniel Moody recording from my home bunker. So the folks, let me start off with this. Kevin McCarthy, the Fisher Price Speaker of the House, who's really a puppet from Marjorie Taylor Green and the far right have decided to open up an inquiry, impeachment inquiry into President

Biden over nothing. And I am just here's my thinking on this, because I'm not going to waste a lot of time or energy, nor should you, because the reality here is that the Republican Party has nothing. They offer nothing, Even their own Republican members who are in districts that Biden won, even some of the most egregious members have come out and said, you know, there is nothing right, Like, if there was something and we needed to investigate it,

then we should have the ability to do so. But right now there's nothing there, which is why McCarthy can't call a vote right on opening up the in Korean as just instead directing these committees to waste taxpayer dollars in time and money to do it because he doesn't have the fucking votes. And you know what is really frustrating.

Here is the optics, the optics that Democrats don't necessarily understand, which is that a majority of Americans right now, with a recent poll that came out, believe that the indictments against Donald Trump are solely political nature, right And why is that? Because it's important for us to understand and not just shrug off the fact that a majority of Americans across party lines believe that these indictmencies for indictments, these ninety one charges in counting against Donald Trump, are

politically motivated. And that is because seven to eight years ago, when Donald Trump entered the political sphere and began peppering our society with lies, began questioning agencies, began questioning the integrity of our systems, of our governmental systems, which is what sets us apart from the rest of the world. He began his putin Esque campaign to delegitimize our agencies

and weaponize them. And instead of corporatized media calling out what was happening and making it plainly clear to the American people that Donald Trump is an enemy of speech, he's an enemy of truth, he's an enemy of facts, and it is up to Americans to remain vigilant and instead of Democrats every time that they were in front of a microphone or had an opportunity to use their platforms in a coordinated strategic effort to continue to inform

the American public, knowing that from twenty sixteen on we have had a massive disinformation campaign done at the hands of the Russians at the behest of Donald Trump, Russia. Are you listening right? So here we are now where you have Kevin McCarthy at the behest of the fucking kook Marjorie Taylor Green saying we need to open up an inquiry and we need to stop spending. Mind you, these are the same people who voted to increase the

debt by seven trillion dollars. You know how you know that that's true as well, because the idiot Nikki Haley, when they were on their bullshit Republican debate stage, said right, the debt is not owned by just one party. She's like people on this stage voted right, voted for the tax you know, scam for the rich that inflated our debt by seven trillion dollars in four years. And she was booed for that. Why because she told the truth and So you know, here's the thing. The optics are unfortunate.

The only things that matter when you allowed for reality TV politics to enter the fucking chat right, and because the Democrats don't have a counter message for that, they

want to continue with business as usual. It is going to absolutely seem as if this is just tit for tat, when in fact it is tit for tat, but at the hands of the Republican Party that is going to weaponize government at every single turn as a way to pay back their political opponents for doing what is stated inside of the Constitution, which is to go after insurrectionists and those who would seek to bring down democracy, which

is the entirety of the Republican Party. Now, what I also find interesting is that there are people who are shaking their head at the release of the Fulton County Grand Jury's full list of people that they recommended for indictments, with three sitting senators appearing on that list, who Fannie

Willis decided not to indict. Now, I don't know why Fannie Willis decided not to indict Lindsay Graham, because let us be clear that Lindsay Graham is a Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham had no business calling any fucking body in Georgia when the Georgian right senators didn't seek to call Rathensburger the Secretary of State to say what's

happening down there with the election. Similarly, Michael Steele recently said on MSNBC, and I have to agree he goes, did anybody ask Lindsay if when he was senator in two thousand and it was Bush v. Gore, did he decide to make a phone call down to Florida to see what was quote unquote going on. No, we did not, because guess what, it wasn't in his fucking purview, right, It wasn't his responsibility as a random ass senator from

a state that was not in question. And so when you're looking at what is transpiring in this country, Putin is sitting back, applauding and patting himself on the back for doing what many thought can never happen, right, which was to crack open America's democracy using one of the

two political parties as your trojan horse. I mean, it's really wild when you think about it, right, you think about the things that the Republicans are saying, and the projection that they are putting out there and recognizing that, you know, media again once again did not think to themselves, huh, Well, if these one hundred and forty something House Republicans are voting against the certification of the election because they say that the election was fraudulent and yet they were on

the same ballot and won their seats on the same ticket, why is it that just the one line of the ballot for the presidential are you seemingly saying was fraudulent? Did you hear one reporter ask that question to any of the one hundred and forty some odd Republicans that voted against certifying the election. No, that's just, you know,

a regular ask question. So, were you saying that your election results were also illegitimate or it's only illegitimate if you had lost, but because you won but Donald Trump lost but on the same ballot for people, how does that work? Exactly? Could you explain? And just wait? But this is not the kind of questions that journalists s for whatever reason, because I guess you would seem what what's the word too intelligent? Too informed? Lord only knows.

Here's what I will say with regard to this inquiry. It's not going to go anywhere. It's going to be a waste of money. It is going to be Benghazi on steroids, which also turned up with nothing. And mind you that Republicans are using the same tools that the January sixth Committee used where they had thousands of documentation people on the you know, testifying before the committee and then their recommendations that they sent to the Department of Justice.

Do you think that this inquiry is going to go anywhere to that extent, No, because there's no no, nothing, There's no there there. But that's not the point. The point is to continue to have this both sides ruffling and have Biden's name alongside impeachment inquiry in the press.

And you know what the press is gonna do. Fucking fall through that and they're gonna follow right those little Hansel and Gretel fucking breadcrumbs that are laid out by the Republican Party all the way over a fucking cliff, you know, because that's what they do, folks. As the news is opening up this week, and I also want to turn attention to the devastating earthquake that took place in Morocco and then the devastating floods that have killed

thousands of people in Libya. We are in the climate crisis, right. There is no denying that if you and fact have active brain cells. I know that the Republicans don't, so I'm not talking about them, but I'm talking about everyone else.

What we are going to see increasingly in what we are seeing is devastation that is going to cost thousands, tens of probably thousands, millions of people's lives in areas that do not have the infrastructure and do not have the system in place like a FEMA to offer critical resources and staff emergency aid on the ground. And what is so horrible, right, is that all America media ever does, all this show is devastation and rubble and death in

these areas of the world. And it has really stained our mentality that these people are people, right, with full lives and families and careers and aspirations and dreams, and all we do is feed into exactly what like the Indiana Jones series showed us about this region of the world, right, so that we can sit up on our high horse and think that, oh, but we're the developed world, right, and these kind of things always happen to these people over there, and so you don't get to you don't

have to waste your empathy, waste your time. That's how American media corportize. Media shows these devastated areas. But when it happens to white people in Europe, my god, we got to stop everything, stop the presses, wall to wall coverage. And it's just once again going to show you that those that are responsible for the climate crisis that we are in are not going to be the ones that

pay for it with their lives. And you know, it's these types of things that happen that make me just really wonder, you know, really wonder whenever the tables are going to turn, you know, when there is going to be any type of justice for the damage that America has done to the rest of the world. And maybe

that is what we are experiencing right now. Because I tell you all, I'll be really honest with you, I've been reading a lot of all different types of psychology books and you know, religious books, and just trying to truly make sense and sharpen my analysis right of this time because in some ways, because I am an American and because I still have this I guess it would be indoctrinated belief that America can move past really hard moments.

And I want to be a part of helping people make sense of and activating their power in this moment. And then a part of me, another part of me, is just like, this is what we fucking get. Maybe this shit is just karma, right, That the Empire of America that enslaved millions of Africans, that built this empire on blood soaked soil, that murdered indigenous people, that ripped babies out of wounds, that literally tore off people's scalps, right,

and you white people use them as trophies. Right, remove teeth from a enslaved people's mouths, let George Washington and put them in their own and make pute stories about it. That played god around the world, moving presidents in and out and funneling arms to who was going to best serve your own personal interests and not the interests of the countries that you were invading. That maybe where we are right now is karma. But I'm like, does it

have to rain down on all of us? But I guess that that's how the shit works because we've all I guess, you know, maybe knowingly or unknowingly been complicit right every time that we pledged allegiance to this country. You know, it is our tax dollars that goes to bomb, destroy name and ruin other countries lies, all in the name of what our liberty. So I'm very conflicted, you know I have been. I have been very conflicted in

this moment. So if you find yourself in that place too, of the burn this shit to the ground and know we have to fight and you are at war with yourself over it, know that you're not alone, because it is It is something that I really contemplate every single day in great detail and have conversations with friends and you know, and colleagues that are in this space. I am getting ready to travel in the next two months.

I'm going to leave the country for the first time, you know, this year, I guess it's the yeah, at the first time in twenty twenty three, and I'm going to head two Europe. Very exciting because I'm taking I never taken a solo trip. I've traveled with family, I've traveled with you know, my ax, I've traveled with friends,

but I've never traveled alone. And so I am going to be doing that and I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm scared, but a part of me is always wanted to be adventurous in that way be safe, you know, and I'll be safe and you know, and you can follow me on social because I'll be posting and maybe I'll be doing like short videos. I don't know, you guys, let

me know the patrons that I have. Let me know if you would be interested in following some type of like travel vlog, because I'm going to be really interested to see what kind of questions I get asked. I always get asked, you know, And for people who travel abroad a lot. The last time, you know, I remember and not just you know, not just like a beach vacation or Caribbean vacation or anything like that, that I

was in Europe. It was, you know, Trump coming into office and I was in Portugal and the Portuguese were like, so, what the fuck is up with America? Like what you guys really voted for that guy? Like he doesn't believe in climate change and like I can literally show you what is happening in our country, Like how does that even work? And it was the first time traveling that I was embarrassed to be an American. It was really like,

I was truly embarrassed. And so now it's been several years, right, we went through an entire Trump administration, COVID and all of these things. So I'll be interested to see what kind of welcome, if any, that I receive, because it's always you know, I will say this, traveling while black has its own real issues, and then also being an

American is pretty you know, it's interesting. It's interesting, I will I will say that, but let me know in the comments below this video from my patrons if you would be interested in some type of travel vlog while I'm gone, because I am thinking about, you know, just daily kind of check ins, what I'm experiencing, what I'm seeing. But what I'm most excited about, yeah, is to decide to take an adventure. Because here's the thing, folks. Life is not waiting for us, right, It's not waiting for

perfect moments. It's not it's continuing on. And you know, this country, whether this is its last gasp, and that last gasp could be quite some time, you know, years and years of living in this very off kiltered, off balance way, and then it just becomes our norm and we forget what it was ever like to live in a normal, stable country, because that's how it happens, is that go out there and grab life. You know, don't wait for things to go back to quote unquote normal.

Don't wait for things to just be okay, because the world is going to get increasingly dangerous and unsafe and all of these things because we're in a really instaba, you know, unstable time. But that's why I talk so much about your own personal grounding, because it is really important right to ground in yourself and in your own joy and in your own purpose and making change that

you can do right. So you know, for those please look into trying to support the folks that are in Morocco six point eight earthquake that you know took over a thousand lives in counting the floods in Libya. I mean, those visuals are fucking crazy. Right of water above, you know, up to rooftops, thousands and thousands are dead there. You don't have to wait to be directed by your government to take action, right, you can take action on your own.

If you are a member of a religious institution, maybe organize some type of dry and figure out how to get resources to that side of the world. You know, we can all do something. That is it for me today on this woke Wednesday, my friends, I hope you all are staying well, hydrated, moisturized, safe and in your joy. I feel like this election cycle, this is what I'm gonna say, last thing, is going to be crazy like crazy like emotionally draining. So I'm going to tell you all, like,

this is why I'm taking my trip in November. This is why I'm like getting myself centered and together and all of these things, because the amount of effort that is going to take all of us to get through this next season in America is going to be a lot.

So I'm going to tell you again, right, you need to reinforce your grounding, reinforce your joy with books and meditation and exercise and hydration and building community and all of these things, because you cannot look and wait for other people to do it for you, right, You have got to get it done, all right, friends, as always, power to the people and to all the people. Power. Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
