Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.
Speaker 1: At the time of this recording, there is news that
Speaker 1: has broke that there was a shooting, yet another school
Speaker 1: shooting that took place, this time in Wisconsin, where we
Speaker 1: are seeing that a school at a Christian school in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: There are three people, including the shooter that is dead.
Speaker 1: This has happened before eleven am local time. Police responded
Speaker 1: and once again of flood of thoughts and prayers come in.
Speaker 1: This is that schools last week before the holiday break.
Speaker 1: It is just, you know, folks, I can't even at
Speaker 1: this point remember how many shootings I have discussed how
Speaker 1: many times this happens. That America is the only country
Speaker 1: that this happens in on a regular basis where our
Speaker 1: politicians all of a sudden turn into clergy and say
Speaker 1: that the only things that can be offered are thoughts
Speaker 1: and prayers. We've had school shootings at schools where quote
Speaker 1: unquote resource officers are armed because Republicans' responses to shootings
Speaker 1: have been to turn our school buildings into prison systems
Speaker 1: where there are armed guards inside where kids go through
Speaker 1: metal detectors, where there are bars on the windows. I
Speaker 1: don't know who can learn under those circumstances. It is
Speaker 1: just a sign of where we are that at this point,
Speaker 1: I don't really know what else to say, but what
Speaker 1: the Chief of Police, Sean F. Barnes said in his
Speaker 1: press conference I thought was really important where he said
Speaker 1: that there are two people that are dead, but there
Speaker 1: are three hundred, over three hundred and fifty students ranging
Speaker 1: from kindergarten through twelfth grade that attend this school, the
Speaker 1: Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. And he said,
Speaker 1: while there are two that are dead, which they have
Speaker 1: not at the time of this recording released, whether or
Speaker 1: not they were students or administrators or what have you,
Speaker 1: but that the over three hundred and fifty children in
Speaker 1: that building are victims. That the trauma that comes from
Speaker 1: these types of preventable murders don't just affect those who
Speaker 1: are murdered. It doesn't just affect their families that will
Speaker 1: now have to deal and process with a horrific loss.
Speaker 1: We have terrified generations of students who, when entering a
Speaker 1: school building never know if that day is going to
Speaker 1: be their last We never talk about the ripple effects
Speaker 1: of this type of trauma, anxiety, depression that comes from
Speaker 1: excs experiencing a school shooting. And I would argue, not
Speaker 1: just for the students, but everyone that is in those buildings.
Speaker 1: After the headlines leave the news, the rest of us,
Speaker 1: who had not had a front seat to mass murder
Speaker 1: go back to normal. But these people, these children, those administrators,
Speaker 1: they never do. So, you know, I look at this
Speaker 1: and I am just I'm so over this country. I
Speaker 1: am so over all politicians and not just Republicans. I'm
Speaker 1: so over the lack of urgency that has been showed
Speaker 1: on an issue that we could stop. These are not
Speaker 1: acts of God. These are horrific acts that are born
Speaker 1: out of ignorance, ignorant erance to the fact that, guess what,
Speaker 1: you have a right to own a gun in this country,
Speaker 1: you do not have a right to use that gun
Speaker 1: to terrorize the rest of us. And I just am
Speaker 1: so over these discussions that for decades have gone absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 1: The only time that we don't have school shootings in
Speaker 1: this country is over the summer when school is out,
Speaker 1: and the only other time that no school shootings happened
Speaker 1: was during COVID, when children were learning from home. So
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know how parents and caregivers send kids
Speaker 1: to school without this cloud of fear, anxiety, and just grief.
Speaker 1: But the fact is, again, this does not have to
Speaker 1: be the way, but it is the choices that our
Speaker 1: politicians have made over and over again. Think it was
Speaker 1: this year that those that perished in Sandy Hook shooting,
Speaker 1: those kindergarteners in first graders would have been headed to college.
Speaker 1: And my god, we've done nothing, nothing to prevent it
Speaker 1: from happening, And the amount of shootings that have happened
Speaker 1: since is just disgusting. So how we don't look at
Speaker 1: ourselves as just a depraved nation that really does not
Speaker 1: give a shit about kids, that doesn't give a shit
Speaker 1: about public health. I mean, that's what this is. But
Speaker 1: somehow I'm supposed to really give a shit about a
Speaker 1: healthcare ceo that was killed. Why our children are gunned
Speaker 1: down in schools all the time and those same politicians
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. This country makes me so sick, frankly,
Speaker 1: it just you know, I don't even know where to go.
Speaker 1: And right now, Donald Trump, right at a press conference,
Speaker 1: is bragging about how all of these everybody wants to
Speaker 1: be my friend, says the shallow, insecure faberge egg of
Speaker 1: a man, because everyone from Mika and Joe to Mark Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: to Jeff Bezo's to ABC have all obeyed in advance,
Speaker 1: have all abdicated whatever responsibility that they had to the
Speaker 1: public to provide information. They have decided that they're going
Speaker 1: to get on the Trump train, that the job of
Speaker 1: the media or social media platforms are not to provide
Speaker 1: information or to connect people to the truth. That we
Speaker 1: have entered the cya policy era where you just cover
Speaker 1: your own ass at the expense of everyone and everything else. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I hope that corporate mainstream media just dies,
Speaker 1: I really do, you know. And I say that knowing
Speaker 1: that there are good people that I hope find different
Speaker 1: pathways for their analysis. But I had this conversation with
Speaker 1: Mary Trump the other day on the New Abnormal podcast
Speaker 1: where she was just like, you know, we also have
Speaker 1: to understand that like, these are not entities. These media
Speaker 1: outlets are not entities that are owned that own themselves, right.
Speaker 1: They're subsidiaries of major companies that want to be in
Speaker 1: good footing, in good standing with this incoming regime, like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not have to worry about anything, because
Speaker 1: it's not as if what is going to unfold inside
Speaker 1: of that administration is going to be reported. Everything that's
Speaker 1: going to come out is going to seem completely and
Speaker 1: totally normal. As your rights are eroded one by one,
Speaker 1: as agencies begin to fold one by one, as more
Speaker 1: Americans become sick, as public schools close because we have
Speaker 1: no Department of Education, as our water and our air
Speaker 1: continues to become increasingly polluted causing more illness because they
Speaker 1: got the EPA, As free speech and freedom of the
Speaker 1: press goes out the window, because you have investigations that
Speaker 1: are going to unfold at the hands of Cashptel, who
Speaker 1: is going to be in charge of the FBI, and
Speaker 1: the threats of using the Department of Justice to sue
Speaker 1: media outlets for their coverage. This is it. You know,
Speaker 1: We're at the end of American democracy. Beginning January twentieth
Speaker 1: will be the beginning of the American braligarchy. I've said
Speaker 1: this before here and I've said it in other places
Speaker 1: that I really do believe at this point that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is necessary. I do believe that the ensuing violence hopelessness.
Speaker 1: All of the things that are going to come because
Speaker 1: of this administration are necessary because Americans don't learn the
Speaker 1: easy way. It requires, apparently, to make the same mistakes
Speaker 1: over and over again for people to realize that, no,
Speaker 1: your grocery prices are not going to go down, they're
Speaker 1: actually going to go up. You're going to lose your
Speaker 1: life savings, You're not going to be able to retire.
Speaker 1: There will be no social security, there will be no medicaid,
Speaker 1: there will be no agencies that are protecting the food
Speaker 1: and water that you drink and the food that you eat,
Speaker 1: and vaccines will all be repeating old. And the goal
Speaker 1: is to keep Americans broke, sick, and under educated, because
Speaker 1: that is how you rule in a dictatorship and an autocracy.
Speaker 1: Look at people in Russia, Look at people in North Korea.
Speaker 1: The populations of North Korea. You know, these are depressed
Speaker 1: societies that have nothing to offer like the world in
Speaker 1: terms of like, oh, the best innovators are oh, you know,
Speaker 1: people come to attend their universities or anything of that nature.
Speaker 1: Because the goal is just to suppress the people so
Speaker 1: that they keep functioning as the cogs in the machine,
Speaker 1: so that they keep putting money into the oligarch's pockets,
Speaker 1: but that they have absolutely nothing, because if you keep
Speaker 1: people broke and diseased and downtrodden, they'll be at each
Speaker 1: other's throats for the scraps that are left behind while
Speaker 1: you're laughing all the way to the bank. And that
Speaker 1: is going to be America. It's not going to happen
Speaker 1: all at once, right, It's not going to happen in
Speaker 1: the first one hundred days. But I would argue that
Speaker 1: probably halfway through Donald Trump's regime you will see it
Speaker 1: all over the place. It will be unavoidable. And for
Speaker 1: those that think that they live in blue states that
Speaker 1: are going to be safe, that is not the case,
Speaker 1: because there are many ways that this incoming regime will
Speaker 1: squeeze resources out of blue states, deny them access to
Speaker 1: federal funding that they deserve, which means that they will
Speaker 1: have to tap into their state fundings, which means that
Speaker 1: guess what state taxes will go up in order to
Speaker 1: cover But people aren't not making it need more money.
Speaker 1: So it's an ugly picture. And maybe from this ugliness
Speaker 1: something new and beautiful will be born, because it's not
Speaker 1: coming from the Democratic Party, which their members from Fetterman
Speaker 1: to Rocana to Cliburne and others are showing their complicity. Oh,
Speaker 1: pardon Donald Trump, because the country needs to move forward.
Speaker 1: Oh I can work with doge this made up bullshit agency,
Speaker 1: and I use that with like a roll of the
Speaker 1: eyes that's being put together that Elon Musk and Vivekar
Speaker 1: are gonna run. I just wish people had cared enough
Speaker 1: to make the right choices. I wish they had cared
Speaker 1: enough about themselves and enough about their neighbors to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. But it is evident that that is
Speaker 1: not the case. And so here we are, with just
Speaker 1: a handful of weeks left, it already feels like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is president. And I don't really know how folks
Speaker 1: hang on, but I do know that you don't do
Speaker 1: it by engaging with corporate mainstream media because they don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck about you. So, if nothing else, continue
Speaker 1: to support independent media, Continue to support independent content creators
Speaker 1: like myself, who do this because of nothing else other
Speaker 1: than a responsibility and obligation to the truth and providing
Speaker 1: you with analysis as I see the world unfolding, not sugarcoating,
Speaker 1: because oh what about you know, my investors nope, because
Speaker 1: everybody else is set up to lie to you and
Speaker 1: that is their goal. And it's really scary and it's
Speaker 1: really sick where we are. But I will continued to say,
Speaker 1: folks need to ground themselves in truth, create community, and
Speaker 1: do the things that help you stay sane and safe
Speaker 1: during these really dark days ahead, knowing that they are coming.
Speaker 1: Find the ways to protect yourself, to inform yourself, and
Speaker 1: to build real life community, because that's the only thing
Speaker 1: that is going to allow us to be able to
Speaker 1: push forward. That is it for me today. Dear friends
Speaker 1: on Woke af AS always power to the people and
Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke
Speaker 1: as fuck.
