Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, peepsend. Welcome to wok F Daily with Me
your Girl. Danielle Moody recording from the home Bunker, Folks,
I am recording this Monday episode on Friday. I usually
don't record the day of, but given just our news
cycle these days, I don't know what the fuck we're
in for this weekend. I am hoping that it is

(00:35):
relatively sane, but you know, I don't know. So I
apologize if, in fact, on Monday morning, you're just like Danielle,
why didn't you cover this upteenth meltdown of Donald Trump?
And it would be because today is Friday that I'm
recording this for you all on Monday. And so what
I will say as I start out today to give

(00:59):
kind of a recap of how we enter into this week,
is that this week is debate week. Donald Trump will
be meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris for the very
first time. This will be the second presidential debate, obviously,
but the first one for Vice President Kamala Harris. To

(01:20):
say that the stakes are high in this debate, I
think would be an understatement, but to say that they
are somehow higher for Vice President Kamala Harris than Donald Trump,
who I will get to his meandering, absolutely bumbling, jumbling
sack of shit that he offered up last week at

(01:42):
an economic forum that he was quote unquote speaking at
when asked very clear coherent questions like doesn't do anything
more than repeat the words. But nonetheless, the debate is
coming up this week and I will absolutely be doing
special videos over on my YouTube channel at Danielle Moody Underscore.
Go to the search bar type in Danielle Moody channel,

(02:04):
and I will definitely be joining the nerd Avengers on
Mary Trump Media for that fucking show that we're in for.
Last week was yet another week where we experienced a
deadly school shooting, but days for many, but you know,

(02:25):
maybe a week or so into the new school year.
And what I've continued to say is that the only
time that we don't experience school shootings is when school
is not in session, as it was during COVID or
over the summer, or any type of break right other
than that, pretty much, you know, American children. Given the

(02:47):
matter of fact way that JD Vance has laid out
the Trump Vance Tickets' thoughts on gun reform and gun
control and sensible gun legislation is is this is just
a fact of life, right, That's what Jade Vance said.
He said that, you know, it's unfortunate, but you know,

(03:08):
pretty much it just is what it is and we
need to just get used to it. Or, as Donald
Trump said after a shooting in Iowa, you know, you
just need to get over it. Tell that to the
grieving families, loved ones, students, teachers, community of the people
who won't be returning to the classroom next week, who

(03:29):
won't be returning to Appalachi High School ever again, who
won't be returning to their dinner tables to holidays, Tell
them to get over it and that there is just
nothing that you can do and this type of excessive,
gratuitous carnage is just the way that life is. No.
I continue to say that it is the way that

(03:49):
Republicans want our lives to be, because there is nothing
that is more evil to me. Right, And Shannon Watts
uttered this on her social media platform when the sheriff
in Appalachi said, you know, this was an act of evil,
and Shannon Watts, Emeritus at Every Town in Mom's Demand, said,

(04:11):
there is actually nothing more evil than having the power
and the ability to stop children from dying in their
classrooms and choosing not to. And I agree, I can't
think of anything that is more evil than that. There
is one thing when you don't have power to make
change right, and then you're kind of just in a

(04:35):
really tough place. But that's not where our society is.
Because for as great as Republicans want to tout America
to be, there is no other country on this planet
that deals with the amount and not even deals with folks,
but tolerates the type of gun depths that Americans just say, well,

(05:00):
that was a Tuesday. They're inaction has put us in
a position as citizens of this country to believe that
this is just the complicated issue that we can't find
common ground on right, that we just you know, well,
if you really understood the ins and outs, the understood
the ins and outs of what before their receipt belts,

(05:22):
people were dying in car accidents, before there were labels
from the Surgeon General. People thought that smoking tobacco products
was good for you. When you know better, the idea
is that then you will actually do better. So for

(05:44):
us to say, well, we have the Second Amendment, so
your kids play in Russian roulette when they go to
school one hundred and eighty days out of the year
is just par for the course because we never know
when anybody's gonna gun them down with an A fifteen.
Is legislative malpractice at best and just pure heartless, callous

(06:09):
evil at worse. We do not have to live like
this is the consum refrain that people say every single
time that there is a mass shooting. Reporters directed questions
to Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, saying what can be
done about Georgia's school safety? Now is not the time
to talk about safety. Tell me when the time is.

(06:33):
When is it comfortable for you? When will it be
easy for you to decide not to take cash grabs
from the NRA and be willing instead to stand with
the children and the parents and the community in saying
that this type of shit has to stop. No one
is saying let's come and round up all the guns, although,

(06:54):
let me be honest with you, let me be very
fucking clear, that's what I would do, that's what I
would vote for, because outside of law enforcement, there is
no reason for you to have militia type artillery in
your own fucking home. There is no absolute reason. If
you want to go shooting, here would be my thing.

(07:16):
You want to go shooting, you want to go hunting.
You go to those designated areas, You are given paperwork
to sign out where you get your You put up
your ID, you provide a valid gun license right your
training that you need to get recertified every year to
ensure that you were up to date with all the

(07:36):
safety measures, and then you're able to check out whatever
kind of artillery you would like to use for that
designated time to do that hunting. Then you return said
weapon and you go on back home. That would just
be one thing that I would offer, because you're telling
me that when we roll up into these motherfuckers' homes

(07:59):
and I'm seeinging enough artillery for a Mexican cartel, we're
supposed to be okay with that because what end of days?
Because those are the last fucking people that I want
to have any type of artillery. So to say that
we just need to throw up our hands, No, we
need to throw these people out of office. That is

(08:21):
where our power lies, is that these cowards do not
belong in the seats of power making decisions that they
have showed themselves incapable of making Americans deserve better, your
children deserve better. Late last week, Colin Gray, the father

(08:48):
of Colt Gray, the fourteen year old who killed four
people at Appalachi to fourteen year old students and two teachers,
is going to be tried as an adult. His father,
who knew that this child, his child, was having mental

(09:11):
health crises or issues, decided that the best course of
action would be to buy that child their own semi
automatic weapon. I can think of a lot of things
to give a fourteen year old, video games, sneakers, skateboard instrument,

(09:35):
an instrument of death, though not on my list, but
that's what these MAGA brainwashed Republicans think past for parenting.
So now I listened as I guess, because I'm not
a lawyer, in his first appearance in court, I guess

(09:55):
that is an arraignment, but I'm not one hundred percent sure,
so let me not use that language. So let's just
say that Colin Gray appeared in court, and this man
is now facing with all of the charges against him,
including I think it is second degree manslaughter because he
did not obviously hold the gun, but he purchased it.

(10:20):
So four counts of that, I think eight counts of
like child in danger men like I mean, it's just
like count after count after count. He's for all of
those counts. It's facing up to one hundred and eighty
years in prison. This man is fifty four years old.
I thought that one of the interesting questions that the
judge asked as he's gathering information was he asked what

(10:45):
his level of education was like. So he asked, are
you able to read? The charges against you? Are able
to read? Are you able to write? What level in
school did you get to? And Colin and Gray responded yes,
I can you know read? I can write? And I

(11:06):
finished eleventh grade and I didn't really And maybe some
lawyers out there will tell me why. I understand the
question of read and write and being able to comprehend.
Can you comprehend what you are facing? But I didn't
know what the level of education what that meant. But
this isn't you know? He got a ged, which he

(11:28):
said he graduated with his ged. This man is facing
one hundred and eighty years in prison. I don't even
know what I would do, but this is now the
second parent, oh the school shooter that is being charged

(11:51):
and to be honest, I think it's the right thing. Now.
I know that there is deep racism in our judicial
system and the ways in which black parents and parents
of color have been penalized for like, let's say, truancy
and things of that nature when it pertains to their kids.

(12:13):
That is very punitive, particularly for those that are working
multiple jobs and can't show up for parent teacher conferences
or trust that, like their kids are at school where
they say that they are, but you know they're working
so they don't know, and then are thrown in jail
for that. We've seen those stories before, and I've always
said that it's egregious right that the system is broken

(12:33):
in that way. However, these are entirely different situation. And
you're living in the home with this child, and you
know whether or not your kid is okay or not,
like you know that. And so at thirteen years old,
Cault Gray had threatened a school shooting. How then within

(12:59):
that year your frame do you say to yourself, as
a competent parent, let me go get them a gut. Now, again,
what I've stated last week was that Georgia has no
laws that say that the weapons that are in your
home need to be locked up. What's fucking wild to me, folks,

(13:22):
is the hypocrisy with regard to books and what a
danger they are. We got to take those off the shelves.
We gotta shut down whole fucking libraries because apparently reading
is the bigger threat than an ar fifteen being loose
in your house, not in a safe place, not in
a locked compartment, well in the reach of fucking miners, pornography.

(13:47):
Brian Kemp passed legislation to protect the children from but
a weapon that they can use with their still forming
that we don't need to guard them from. I say
this all the time. Make it make sense, because it

(14:08):
fucking doesn't. And speaking of not making sense, let's shift
gears to Donald Trump. Donald fucking Trump is in such
mental decline. It is so apparent. And I know that

(14:32):
there will be people that say, well, the media, you know, like,
why didn't you agree when they said Biden was in decline. No, No,
Biden is old and aging and has had a stuttering
issue for his entire life. So you're thinking one train
of thought, you can't actually articulate that. You need to

(14:55):
take a beat and then be able to get those
words out where you speak slower than you did before,
not necessarily as pup up up up up up up
up up right brain is not like that. What we
are witnessing with Donald Trump, however, is absolutely crazy. And

(15:21):
the way that the media is choosing to cover said
crazy is journalistic malpractice. So Donald Trump goes to the
Economic Club of New York and at the Economic Club

(15:41):
of New York, and this is just one example. We've
talked about rambling speeches that have ended in Hannibal Lecter
where he throws in electric sharks and just goes off
on these fantastical stream of consciousness Senile, I don't even

(16:04):
know what you would call it. My friend Jen tobb
Over on YouTube and guests of the show here, you
should subscribe to Jen's page on YouTube as well. She
does a show called Morning Jen, and Jen was like
to even call it a word. Salad doesn't do it justice.
So Donald Trump is asked a question. I'm going to

(16:28):
read the question to you. Mom's first CEO and founder,
Rushma So Johnny asked Trump this question, if you win
in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make
childcare affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation

(16:49):
will you advance. This is seemingly a very straightforward question.
Maybe I would answer it to say something to the
effect of the issues of childcare are something that is
really important to many families across this country, as well
as to the stability of our economy. What we saw

(17:11):
during COVID is that two million women had to leave
the workforce in order to be full time caregivers to
their children. And not only does that hurt their future
job prospects and bring down the earning capability of their
household down right, it also hurts us as a country, right.

(17:32):
We lose talent, we lose people who are able to
contribute in the way that they want to. Our economy
being in robust position, and so creating some type of
comprehensive childcare plan is necessary for the strengthening of our economy,

(17:55):
and It'll be something that I'm going to prioritize in
a new administration. Off the dumb folks, off the dump.
Relatively coherent shows understanding and comprehension of the question, offers
some vision monocum of policy that I'll dig into later.

(18:16):
Let me redo part of what Donald Trump offered, and
I encourage you to google Donald Trump Economic Club, childcare
tax question and watch the clip because it is like,

(18:38):
what the entire fuck this is what he said, Well,
I would do that, and we're sitting down and I
was somebody. We had Senator Mark Rubio and my daughter
Ubanka was so impactful on that issue. It's a very
important issue. But I think when you talk about the

(19:00):
kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because look,
childcare is childcare, and you have to have it in
this country. You have to have it. What did he
say there? I don't know, but this answer, this non answer,
this jumbled, nonsensical two minute mess went on and when

(19:27):
he was finished, and let me tell you how he finished.
This is about America first, it's about make America great again.
We have to do it because right now we're a
failing nation, so we'll take care of it. Thank you,
very good question, Thank you. There was a whole bunch
folks in the middle also that was just what WTF?

(19:51):
But this is this is what listen to how mainstream
media summarized this. Because I watched the clip. Then I
went on Twitter to go see what folks were saying,
and I was like, did they watch what the fuck?
I just watched because there is no way listen to this.

(20:13):
Here's how The New York Times Michael Gold wrote about it.
After his speech, Donald Trump was asked how he might
address rising childcare costs. In a jumbled answer, he said
we would prioritize legislation on the issue, but offered no
specifics and insisted that his other economic policies, including tarrorifts,
would take care of it. Politico summarized it as he

(20:36):
also pledged to tackle government inefficiency with an Elon Musk
inspired commission and to launch a sovereign wealth fund with
money collected from tariffs. The Associated Press said Trump suggests
tariffs can help so rising care costs in major economic speech.
Do you know what the writer of this article, Parker Maloy,

(20:58):
what she has called this this absolute fantastical, mythical writing
by political reporters, sain washing, sain washing, and in a
piece at The New Republic which she wrote last week,
says how the media sanitizes Trump's insanity. The political presses

(21:25):
efforts to rationalize Trump's incoherent statements are eroding our shared
reality and threatening informed democracy. And she says this in
the piece, the consequences of this Sainwashing extend beyond misleading
headlines or sanitize quotes. It's creating a dangerous disconnect between

(21:49):
reality and reported news, fostering an environment where extreme rhetoric
becomes normalized and conspiracy theories gain unwarranted legitimacy. We are
now all being pulled into the gravitational airspace of Earth two,

(22:13):
and mainstream corporate media are the ones that are creating
this orbit. It is insane, it is terrifying, and it
is a consistent reminder that independent media and voices are
the answer. Are the spoil are the balm to the

(22:33):
disease that has become saine Washing. I urge everyone to
read this article at the New Republic because it was
like I could not think of what the word is,
what the word could be to describe what the media
has been doing to contort themselves into making Donald Trump

(22:57):
seem like a sane normal so that they can report
on this election like it is just another horse race.
It is wild, it is crazy, and it needs to stop.
That is it for me today. Dear friends on Woke
af as always, power to the people and to all

(23:22):
the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
