WEBVTT - The First of Many

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to look f daily with me,

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>your girl Danielle Moody recording from the home bunker. I

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>come to you today, friends, on this fuck it Friday,

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>just outdone, outdone by our politicians that refuse to take

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>any responsibility, accountability, or action on behalf of the nation's children.

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>You all know by now about the most recent shooting

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>at Appalachi High School in northern Georgia at the hands

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of a fourteen year old white male student named Colton Gray. Now,

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you that, on top of the

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>four people that were murdered, two fourteen year old students

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>and two teachers, thirty children wounded. The swiftness with which

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the law enforcement said that this fourteen year old was

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be charged as an adult, as if that

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>charge was somehow going to absolve the fear, the frustration,

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and the decades of trauma that have been forced upon

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>American families at the hands of Republican legislators. I have

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>never experienced, and I say this really seriously here the

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>adultification of a white child the way that folks are

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>doing right now in Georgia. And what do I mean

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>by that? Let me unpack that we know, and studies

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>have shown. Data has shown that when white law enforcement,

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>for instance, or white people honestly in general, see black children,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>they assume them to be sometimes nearly a decade older

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>than they are. One of the most common fears of

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the parents of black children is how long will it

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>be for their black child, whether they be nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, what have you to be seen and treated

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>as an adult? Case in point to me or Rice

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>in you know the early twenty tens, was shot dead

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on a playground for playing with a toy gun. And

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>when the officers, who didn't even bother to get out

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of their car before shooting, spoke or wrote in their

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>police report, they added like ten or eleven years to

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Timmy or Rice's age. He was twelve, and they wrote

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>about him in the police report saying that black adult

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>male in their twenties. What are you talking about? But

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it has always been the adultification of black children, to

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>strip them of their childlike innocence and their humanity, and

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to treat them in a way that you wouldn't write

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a perceived white child of the same age. We've talked

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>about this before on the show. When you talk about

0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two protests

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and was hailed by the right as some type of hero.

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, when he's crying in court, he's

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a young boy, not a seventeen year old murderer. When

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about Donald Trump as a nearly Octanegerian, Oh,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>he'll grow into the job. He'll mature into the space,

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 1>as if adolescence for white men in particular lasts well

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>into their eighties. So there is something really strategic about

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the media and law enforcement's treatment of this fourteen year

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 1>old boy. And I think that this is going to

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>be the new strategy to absolve themselves from any responsibility

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>as to the adults who put that gun in that

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>boy's hands. I want you to take a listen to this.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>This was tweeted and I retweeted. It came out of

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>k through twelve school shooting database. A reporter asked this

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>question to Governor Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia. Reporter, what

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>can be done to make Georgia's schools safer? Governor, this

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>is not the day to talk about safety or policy.

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>We need thoughts and prayers for the victims. Law enforcement

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>and educators. I'm sorry, what what day are we waiting for?

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>If it's not the day that children are going back

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to school after summer break and being murdered in their classroom.

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>If that's not the day, then when is the day?

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Because this fourteen year old was able to bring a

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>gun into school because there's no minimum age requirement. I

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>want to read to you from what was said by

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Shannon Watts, who is emeritus at Mom's Demand and every Town,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and she posts this, and then I'll read you an

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>article that she posted as well. She said last year,

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>as a symbol of their commitment to gun extremism, some

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Republican members of Congress proudly wore their repelpons shaped like

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>an AR fifteen, the same weapon a fourteen year old

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>just used to kill student, two students, and two teachers

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>in Georgia. She also had said that this consistent negligence

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>on the part of Republican lawmakers is why we are here.

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 1>And there is no doubt that gunning down members of

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>your community, your fellow students, teachers, is a heinous act.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you that the real evil act is

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>having the power to stop this and choosing not to.

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Right having the power, the legislative power, to stop this

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>from happening, and not doing so. Last year, Shannon Watts

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>tweets this, the student responsible for the shooting threatened to

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>kill people at the school. Because there wasn't probable cause,

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the FBI made no arrests. Georgia doesn't have any red

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>flag law, so police also didn't remove the gun from

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the thirteen year old's home. These acts don't come out

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere, right, they come from someplace. There were warnings,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>There were signs that were readily ignored because in an

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>effort to showcase their pure and total allegiance to the NRA,

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>these Republican lawmakers have stripped any gun safety, any policies

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that would have alerted them and law enforcement to this issue.

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>They continually want to call this a mental health crisis

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to a gun problem, as if other countries

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in the world don't have teenagers, they do, and the

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>difference is those teenagers in other countries don't have access

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to ar fifteens. I will read you this. The fourteen

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>year old suspected of a mass shooting at George's Appalachi

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 1>High School had been begging four months for mental health help.

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Before his deadly attack on Wednesday, According to an aunt

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of the suspect, he was quote begging for help from

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody around him. The aunt told The Washington Post the

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>adults around him failed him. The odd who lives in

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>central Florida, declined to elaborate on the teen's mental health challenges,

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>but said she tried from afar to get him help.

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>She said his struggles were exacerbated by a difficult home life.

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>He and his family had previous contacts with local child

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>service departments. So as this story continues to unfold, this

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>is something that could possibly end up with the parents

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>being charged. We don't know. But what we do know

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is that guns are the problem. Access, easy access to

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 1>guns are the problem. We are not the only country

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that has teenagers. We are not the only country that

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>has people that have mental health issues. We are the

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>only country, though, that has more guns then it does people.

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>And then we continue when these acts of violence happen,

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to just resign ourselves to it is what it is, or,

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>as Donald Trump said, we just need to quote get

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>over it. There is a message that is going around

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>right now that shows one of the last exchanges between

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a mother and their child. Child at the school sends

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a text to their mother saying, I love you. There

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>is a shooting. Someone is dead. I'm sorry. It wasn't

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>always the best daughter. How is this okay? How is

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it even a choice in the next sixty days between people?

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:03.079
<v Speaker 1>A party that on their Christmas cards showed their children

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>holding guns that are taller than them. A party that

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>is telling American families to get over it. The pro

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.719
<v Speaker 1>life quote unquote party doesn't give a fuck if your

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>kids are gunned down in school. These are the issues

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that are on the ballot. There is another meme that

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw that was like the right to carry, showing

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>an outlined mail with an AR fifteen and you know,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a trucker hat, and then forced to carry the outline

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of a pregnant woman on her knees. This is America.

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>That's America in a snapshot. It honestly amazes me that

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>people want to come here, because I would be scared

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to death if I lived in another country and my

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 1>family was just like, oh, let's go vacation in the

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>United States. I'd be like, huh, they're unhinged over there.

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>You could get shot anywhere, a movie theater, a school,

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a place of worship the mall, a concert. The list

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>goes on, and what is even more disturbing is that,

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>as I record this, folks, it's September fifth. School's been

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>back in many places for less than a week, so

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we know, based on patterns alone, this will be the

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>first of many. This will be the first of many

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>rounds of thoughts and prayers, the first of many handwringing, Oh,

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't know why this is happening, Like are we stupid?

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't know why? We don't care? And worse yet,

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>we keep voting people back in office that tell us

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis that they don't care. On top

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>of that, you know, Donald Trump and his band of

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>merry fucking idiots, you know, once again showing connections to

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Russia and content creators being completely and totally bought out,

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, one hundred thousand dollars a post to spread

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>lies and misinformation. The stakes couldn't be higher, The stakes

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>could not be higher. And you know right now, like

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I always say, I don't really care about what the

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>polls are saying. I don't care about them when they're bad.

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about them when they're good, because the

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 1>only thing that matters is the decision that people decide

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to make on November fifth, and I will continue to

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>say that's between now and then activate and organize, you know,

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>join you know, texts groups and you know, knocking on

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>doors and donate and register people to vote, and you know,

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>connect with organizations that are working on get out the

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>vote and go and volunteer, do everything that you possibly

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>can with the time, you know, the precious time that

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you have, but the precious time this country has left.

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I just can't imagine, and I say this often, I

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine what it is like to be a parent

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and a caregiver in America. You know, I have friends

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that just have a newborn baby boy, and I'm just like,

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>what kind of world are we leaving for these children?

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Generations upon generations of children absolutely morphing into traumatized adults

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>who have just looked to their left and their right

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and ask like, why didn't you you protect me? Why

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't you help us? From a cooked planet to cooked

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in the brain. Politicians that see no value in public safety,

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>They only see the checks the NRA gives them. So

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that community just like Parkland and Newtown and Aurora and

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo and Pennsylvania, and you name a city and there's

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>been a mass shooting, one that has made the headlines,

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and I tell you that, you know, I knew after

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Newtown this country was willing to shrug their shoulders at

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a classroom of white kindergarteners riddled with bullets. I knew

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that there was absolutely no hope that we would do

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>anything if you're willing to let white children in this

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>most racist nation perish in that way. And how many

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>mass shootings have their been sense too many at account?

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>That is it for me today, dear friends on wokef

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.520
