Welcome to Democracy-ish. I'm Danielle Moody Mels.

I'm Toray, and I think dropping bombs on hurricanes is a great idea. What could possibly go wrong?

Perhaps Trump should declare war on climate change and just drop nukes everywhere. Things aren't going right. Nothing changes mother nature's

bad attitude like a bomb dropping on her head. Trump, of course, denied saying that, even though

we are sure he did. But look, he's only denying media's integrity because it helps him wall himself all from

the truth.

And this, the lack of trust that he is deeply sown in America, especially in his folks,

is going to be a lasting problem for this country.

And I'm not sure how we put it back together when you say, you can't trust media.

How does media then prove, with no evidence, how does media prove over time, though,

you actually can and should trust us?

Well, this is the beauty of Trump's insanity, which is that he puts everyone else on the defensive.

Frankly, the media shouldn't have to figure out a way to get back the public's trust because they didn't lose the public's trust.

It is Trump and his 30% of people who are deplorable, who don't believe facts, who don't

believe science.

And so the media's job in this moment is to continue to do what it's doing, which is call out

Trump's lies, which is challenge him in interviews and essentially put him on his heels,

put him on the defensive.

Say what Yemish Alicindor said recently, which was, that's a lie.

Actually, that's not true.

Part of the problem is that we have Fox and this right-wing propagandist media, quote-unquote

media apparatus, non-serious media that pretends to be serious media right even though
