1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: me your girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks. 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: At the time of this recording, there is news that 4 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: has broke that there was a shooting, yet another school 5 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: shooting that took place, this time in Wisconsin, where we 6 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: are seeing that a school at a Christian school in Wisconsin. 7 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: There are three people, including the shooter that is dead. 8 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: This has happened before eleven am local time. Police responded 9 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and once again of flood of thoughts and prayers come in. 10 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: This is that schools last week before the holiday break. 11 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: It is just, you know, folks, I can't even at 12 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: this point remember how many shootings I have discussed how 13 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: many times this happens. That America is the only country 14 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: that this happens in on a regular basis where our 15 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: politicians all of a sudden turn into clergy and say 16 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: that the only things that can be offered are thoughts 17 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: and prayers. We've had school shootings at schools where quote 18 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: unquote resource officers are armed because Republicans' responses to shootings 19 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: have been to turn our school buildings into prison systems 20 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: where there are armed guards inside where kids go through 21 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: metal detectors, where there are bars on the windows. I 22 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: don't know who can learn under those circumstances. It is 23 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: just a sign of where we are that at this point, 24 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't really know what else to say, but what 25 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: the Chief of Police, Sean F. Barnes said in his 26 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: press conference I thought was really important where he said 27 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: that there are two people that are dead, but there 28 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: are three hundred, over three hundred and fifty students ranging 29 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: from kindergarten through twelfth grade that attend this school, the 30 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. And he said, 31 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: while there are two that are dead, which they have 32 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: not at the time of this recording released, whether or 33 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: not they were students or administrators or what have you, 34 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: but that the over three hundred and fifty children in 35 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: that building are victims. That the trauma that comes from 36 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: these types of preventable murders don't just affect those who 37 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: are murdered. It doesn't just affect their families that will 38 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: now have to deal and process with a horrific loss. 39 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: We have terrified generations of students who, when entering a 40 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: school building never know if that day is going to 41 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: be their last We never talk about the ripple effects 42 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: of this type of trauma, anxiety, depression that comes from 43 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: excs experiencing a school shooting. And I would argue, not 44 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: just for the students, but everyone that is in those buildings. 45 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: After the headlines leave the news, the rest of us, 46 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: who had not had a front seat to mass murder 47 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: go back to normal. But these people, these children, those administrators, 48 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: they never do. So, you know, I look at this 49 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: and I am just I'm so over this country. I 50 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: am so over all politicians and not just Republicans. I'm 51 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: so over the lack of urgency that has been showed 52 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: on an issue that we could stop. These are not 53 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: acts of God. These are horrific acts that are born 54 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: out of ignorance, ignorant erance to the fact that, guess what, 55 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: you have a right to own a gun in this country, 56 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you do not have a right to use that gun 57 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: to terrorize the rest of us. And I just am 58 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: so over these discussions that for decades have gone absolutely nowhere. 59 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: The only time that we don't have school shootings in 60 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: this country is over the summer when school is out, 61 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: and the only other time that no school shootings happened 62 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: was during COVID, when children were learning from home. So 63 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: I honestly don't know how parents and caregivers send kids 64 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: to school without this cloud of fear, anxiety, and just grief. 65 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: But the fact is, again, this does not have to 66 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: be the way, but it is the choices that our 67 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: politicians have made over and over again. Think it was 68 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: this year that those that perished in Sandy Hook shooting, 69 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: those kindergarteners in first graders would have been headed to college. 70 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: And my god, we've done nothing, nothing to prevent it 71 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: from happening, And the amount of shootings that have happened 72 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: since is just disgusting. So how we don't look at 73 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: ourselves as just a depraved nation that really does not 74 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: give a shit about kids, that doesn't give a shit 75 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: about public health. I mean, that's what this is. But 76 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: somehow I'm supposed to really give a shit about a 77 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: healthcare ceo that was killed. Why our children are gunned 78 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: down in schools all the time and those same politicians 79 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. This country makes me so sick, frankly, 80 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: it just you know, I don't even know where to go. 81 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: And right now, Donald Trump, right at a press conference, 82 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: is bragging about how all of these everybody wants to 83 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: be my friend, says the shallow, insecure faberge egg of 84 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: a man, because everyone from Mika and Joe to Mark Zuckerberg, 85 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: to Jeff Bezo's to ABC have all obeyed in advance, 86 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: have all abdicated whatever responsibility that they had to the 87 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: public to provide information. They have decided that they're going 88 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: to get on the Trump train, that the job of 89 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: the media or social media platforms are not to provide 90 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: information or to connect people to the truth. That we 91 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: have entered the cya policy era where you just cover 92 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: your own ass at the expense of everyone and everything else. So, 93 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, I hope that corporate mainstream media just dies, 94 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: I really do, you know. And I say that knowing 95 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: that there are good people that I hope find different 96 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: pathways for their analysis. But I had this conversation with 97 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Mary Trump the other day on the New Abnormal podcast 98 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: where she was just like, you know, we also have 99 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: to understand that like, these are not entities. These media 100 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: outlets are not entities that are owned that own themselves, right. 101 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: They're subsidiaries of major companies that want to be in 102 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: good footing, in good standing with this incoming regime, like 103 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not have to worry about anything, because 104 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: it's not as if what is going to unfold inside 105 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: of that administration is going to be reported. Everything that's 106 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: going to come out is going to seem completely and 107 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: totally normal. As your rights are eroded one by one, 108 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: as agencies begin to fold one by one, as more 109 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: Americans become sick, as public schools close because we have 110 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: no Department of Education, as our water and our air 111 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: continues to become increasingly polluted causing more illness because they 112 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: got the EPA, As free speech and freedom of the 113 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: press goes out the window, because you have investigations that 114 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: are going to unfold at the hands of Cashptel, who 115 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: is going to be in charge of the FBI, and 116 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: the threats of using the Department of Justice to sue 117 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: media outlets for their coverage. This is it. You know, 118 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: We're at the end of American democracy. Beginning January twentieth 119 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: will be the beginning of the American braligarchy. I've said 120 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: this before here and I've said it in other places 121 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: that I really do believe at this point that Donald 122 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: Trump is necessary. I do believe that the ensuing violence hopelessness. 123 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: All of the things that are going to come because 124 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: of this administration are necessary because Americans don't learn the 125 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: easy way. It requires, apparently, to make the same mistakes 126 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: over and over again for people to realize that, no, 127 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: your grocery prices are not going to go down, they're 128 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: actually going to go up. You're going to lose your 129 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: life savings, You're not going to be able to retire. 130 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: There will be no social security, there will be no medicaid, 131 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: there will be no agencies that are protecting the food 132 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: and water that you drink and the food that you eat, 133 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: and vaccines will all be repeating old. And the goal 134 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: is to keep Americans broke, sick, and under educated, because 135 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: that is how you rule in a dictatorship and an autocracy. 136 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: Look at people in Russia, Look at people in North Korea. 137 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: The populations of North Korea. You know, these are depressed 138 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: societies that have nothing to offer like the world in 139 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: terms of like, oh, the best innovators are oh, you know, 140 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: people come to attend their universities or anything of that nature. 141 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: Because the goal is just to suppress the people so 142 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: that they keep functioning as the cogs in the machine, 143 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: so that they keep putting money into the oligarch's pockets, 144 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: but that they have absolutely nothing, because if you keep 145 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: people broke and diseased and downtrodden, they'll be at each 146 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: other's throats for the scraps that are left behind while 147 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: you're laughing all the way to the bank. And that 148 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: is going to be America. It's not going to happen 149 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: all at once, right, It's not going to happen in 150 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: the first one hundred days. But I would argue that 151 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: probably halfway through Donald Trump's regime you will see it 152 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: all over the place. It will be unavoidable. And for 153 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: those that think that they live in blue states that 154 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: are going to be safe, that is not the case, 155 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: because there are many ways that this incoming regime will 156 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: squeeze resources out of blue states, deny them access to 157 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: federal funding that they deserve, which means that they will 158 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: have to tap into their state fundings, which means that 159 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: guess what state taxes will go up in order to 160 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: cover But people aren't not making it need more money. 161 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: So it's an ugly picture. And maybe from this ugliness 162 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: something new and beautiful will be born, because it's not 163 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: coming from the Democratic Party, which their members from Fetterman 164 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to Rocana to Cliburne and others are showing their complicity. Oh, 165 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: pardon Donald Trump, because the country needs to move forward. 166 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: Oh I can work with doge this made up bullshit agency, 167 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and I use that with like a roll of the 168 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: eyes that's being put together that Elon Musk and Vivekar 169 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: are gonna run. I just wish people had cared enough 170 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: to make the right choices. I wish they had cared 171 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: enough about themselves and enough about their neighbors to do 172 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: the right thing. But it is evident that that is 173 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: not the case. And so here we are, with just 174 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: a handful of weeks left, it already feels like Donald 175 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Trump is president. And I don't really know how folks 176 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: hang on, but I do know that you don't do 177 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: it by engaging with corporate mainstream media because they don't 178 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: give a fuck about you. So, if nothing else, continue 179 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: to support independent media, Continue to support independent content creators 180 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: like myself, who do this because of nothing else other 181 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: than a responsibility and obligation to the truth and providing 182 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: you with analysis as I see the world unfolding, not sugarcoating, 183 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: because oh what about you know, my investors nope, because 184 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: everybody else is set up to lie to you and 185 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: that is their goal. And it's really scary and it's 186 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: really sick where we are. But I will continued to say, 187 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: folks need to ground themselves in truth, create community, and 188 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: do the things that help you stay sane and safe 189 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: during these really dark days ahead, knowing that they are coming. 190 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Find the ways to protect yourself, to inform yourself, and 191 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: to build real life community, because that's the only thing 192 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: that is going to allow us to be able to 193 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: push forward. That is it for me today. Dear friends 194 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: on Woke af AS always power to the people and 195 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: to all the people.
