1
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Here's my thing right now, why can't Democrats ever get

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: anything right? And I say this having spent the last

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: three months trying to get Americans to believe that Democrats

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: and their desire to preserve democracy was in their best interest,

7
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: and that obviously failed because in just a few weeks

8
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: we have a fascist, right wing, white nationalist government that

9
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: is going to be coming in to destroy basically what

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: is left of our democracy. And instead of focusing their

11
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: attention on the incoming devastation, what are Democrats doing right

12
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: now attacking Joe Biden for pardoning his son? Now, Folks,

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: I was on yesterday Tavis Smiley's radio show, and Tabs

14
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: asked me a question and said, did Joe Biden lie

15
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: to the American people when he said that he had

16
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: no intention of pardoning his son? And my response was no.

17
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: What Joe Biden is doing and what he has done

18
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: is politics. The fact of the matter is, when he

19
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: was asked would he pardon his son, Joe Biden should

20
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: have done what politicians in the past have always done.

21
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to allow the Department of Justice to move

22
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: through their investigation and come to a determination at that time.

23
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: What does that mean. It means exactly what I said,

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: and keep it moving. Democrats continue to play with rules

25
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: and in a game that no longer exists. Then Tavis

26
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: asked me, well, Danielle, do two wrongs, then make a

27
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: right with regard to the fact that Donald Trump is

28
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: a criminal and has been charged with criminal behavior, all

29
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: of which has been wiped away because the crimes that

30
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: he committed in order to stay in office in twenty

31
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty now that he is back in office after the

32
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election have magically disappeared. And you want

33
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: to compare Hunter Biden filling out a form wrong with

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: thirty four felony counts with Donald Trump pardoning his entire

35
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: inner circle for being foreign agents for grifting off of constituents.

36
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: You want to compare Hunter Biden filling out a document

37
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: wrong while he was battling his substance abuse addiction with

38
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump being totally incompletely coherent when he told January

39
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: sixth insurrectionists to go take their country back. You want

40
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: to compare that to the perfect call to go find

41
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: me eleven seven hundred and fifty some odd votes. You

42
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: want to compare that form from an unelected person to

43
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: all of the things that Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn,

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Roger Stone, Paul Matafore, Charles Kushner have all done. And

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: look at me in my face and think that those

46
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: accusations that Democrats are wielding right now against Biden are

47
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: fucking warranted. And this is why Democrats will continue to

48
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: lose because in their desire to play the adult in

49
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: the room and chase Republicans off of their right wing

50
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: extremist cliff, they are leaving the entire base of their

51
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: party behind. And I'm no longer going to tell people

52
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: moving forward, well, this is the most consequential dout dot

53
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: dot fill in the blank, and you must vote for

54
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the Democrat because guess what. Seven million people stayed home

55
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Seven million Americans decided that they

56
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: would rather toin costs this election than actually put any

57
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: skin in the game. Well, now your whole body's in

58
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: the game, because you're getting ready to lose your health insurance,

59
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Your mother and father are getting ready to lose their

60
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: Social Security, your family members are getting ready to lose

61
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: whatever type of stability that they may have cobbled together

62
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: for themselves over the past several years because of that

63
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: coin toss. But then I have to ask myself if

64
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at this from the vantage point not through

65
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the lens of a racist, but you're looking at this

66
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: through the lens of well both parties are bought by

67
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: corporations and high dollar donors that every time that we

68
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: think that we have moved with the Democratic Party into

69
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: a place of progression, then they want to go back

70
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: and embrace the Liz Cheneys and the Dick Cheneys of

71
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: the world and talk about having Republicans in their cabinet

72
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: when they can, and even get a pro Palestinian person

73
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: to bring on the stage for the DNC to talk

74
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: about gaza. So we do live inside of an upside

75
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: down world and Democrats continue to play in our faces.

76
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: And why do I say that, because I actually expected

77
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: them not to be better, meaning be on their high horse,

78
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: but understand that when the rules of the game change,

79
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: that they need to move in a nimble fashion. And

80
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: this is where Democrats refuse to be because they are

81
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: allowing once again for Republicans to set the agenda, and

82
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: all they are positioning themselves to do is to respond

83
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: in this point and place of destruction. We need to

84
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: be in a place of bold imagination because guess what,

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: for the next several decades, we're not going to be

86
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: able to do a fucking thing under the Trump Maga regime.

87
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: So all you have right now is your imagination and

88
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: thinking about what can be better, because inside of these

89
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: systems that we're holding on to and saying, oh my god,

90
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: the institution, the institution, Donald Trump is going to destroy it. Well,

91
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is, folks, is that if

92
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Department of Education, and we're talking

93
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: about the Environmental Protection Agency, and we're talking about health

94
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and human services, if you talk with black people, if

95
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: you talk with low income people, they're going to tell

96
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: you that those agencies haven't been doing a fucking thing

97
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: for them except for the semblance the perception that they

98
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: work for everybody. But in actuality, we know that that

99
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: couldn't be further from the fucking truth. So if we

100
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump is coming in to destroy everything,

101
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: then why is it that Democrats still have a failure

102
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: of fucking imagination about what could potentially come next. Not

103
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: that in that next phase we're all gonna benefit from it, No,

104
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: we will be long gone. But in doing this tit

105
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: for tat bullshit, what Democrats continue to show is that

106
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: they have learned nothing. And if you learn nothing, then

107
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: tell me again why the people of this country should

108
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: trust you, because that's what this all comes down to.

109
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: And whether or not we want to admit it, they

110
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: trust Donald Trump because they trust him to destroy what

111
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: it is that they don't like, and he says that

112
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: he will. And now I put my faith in trust

113
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: in a Democratic party because they say that they're going

114
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: to fix things. And then at the end of the day,

115
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I look and what they have done is continue to

116
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: paint a rotten house. What they have done is continue

117
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to put a band aid on a patient that is

118
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: on life preserve. You know, at some point, folks, at

119
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: some point, we have got to reconcile with the reality

120
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: here that Democrats are not built for this moment. I

121
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: could give a shit about what Joe Biden's legacy is

122
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: going to be, because if we think that the part

123
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: in is going to be the thing that tarnishes Joe

124
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Biden's legacy, well then we haven't been paying attention for

125
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the last fucking year plus that he has provided weapons

126
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: of mass destruction to a fucking toxic, genocidal, homicidal maniac

127
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: in Israel. Joe Biden's legacy is going to be what

128
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: has always been America's legacy, which is that we are

129
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of justice almost all the fucking time.

130
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: When it comes to liberation movements. America is not there

131
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: unless it is serving our best interests, and our best

132
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: interests look like a financial investment or an extraction of

133
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: some kind. And because all we can see is that

134
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: the people of Gaza are begging for humanity or begging

135
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: for reprieve, Well, if there were oil underneath Gaza, that

136
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: then they could offer up, maybe the United States would

137
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: give a fucking damn. So when seven million people decide

138
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: to sit out, let's not all just shrug our shoulders

139
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: as we been known to do, as I have been

140
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: known to do, and say, well, those people are stupid

141
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: and they don't care about their lives. Maybe they do,

142
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: and maybe what they have been seeing over the last

143
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: decades is that they have lost track of who the

144
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: Democratic Party actually is. Because in fact, the Democratic Party

145
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: has clearly lost track of who it is. It's so

146
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: busy trying to be the adult in the room, they

147
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't recognize that everyone else has left the fucking room,

148
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: and so now they're just talking to themselves. I just

149
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: saw something, folks, and I don't know, like I have

150
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to do investigation right. What I saw on top of

151
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: my own anecdotal evidence rings true, it said, and I'll

152
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: pull it up here so that I read it accurately.

153
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I follow this site called boardroom on Instagram, and boardroom posts,

154
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, business news and this, that and the other thing,

155
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: and so well, I see this post, folks, and it

156
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: says the average age of US home buyers. Get this

157
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: jumps to fifty six years old. And they write this,

158
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,479
Speaker 1: and this is according to CNBC, home ownership is increasingly

159
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: out of reach for younger generations, with the average age

160
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: of US home buyers rising by six years since twenty

161
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: twenty three. So in twenty twenty three, the average age

162
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: has jumped six years, which means that prior to this,

163
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: the average age for buying a home, folks, was fifty,

164
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: and now it is fifty six. They also go on

165
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: to say that the National Association of Realtors points to

166
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: a confluence of factors. The median home price has surged

167
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent since twenty twenty to four hundred and

168
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand, while the average thirty year fixed mortgage

169
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: rate has more than doubled, exceeding six percent. So here's

170
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: the deal. The lie that has been told is that

171
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: all is well and good. The fact is, folks, is

172
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: that wages in the United States have not risen to

173
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: match the increase in the mortgage rate as well as

174
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: in the housing market. So if you're telling me that

175
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: the average age of a person that is able to

176
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: afford a home is fifty six, and then you're telling

177
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: me that after you're able to buy said home, that

178
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: you're supposed to then have enough money to be able

179
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: to retire at sixty five, folks, the math ain't mathem,

180
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make any fucking sense. The fact is

181
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: is that this country has been privatized within an inch

182
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: of its fucking life. You have had foreclosures happen and

183
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: then companies come in and scoop up those homes, increase

184
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the mortgage rate, increase the amount that it costs to

185
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: buy a home because you're no longer going from person

186
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to person you're going from corporation to person no one

187
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: can keep up. Not only that, but if you live

188
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: in a city, then you would also know that the

189
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: fucking rent has risen astronomically since twenty twenty. So you

190
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: can't afford to buy a home, you can't afford to rent,

191
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: and your wages have it increased at all but everything,

192
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: And now you have Donald Trump coming in that's going

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: to put a tariff on every single thing, So your

194
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: money is not even going to go as far as

195
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: it did in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty five.

196
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: So again, when I talk about the incremental change that

197
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: Democrats have allowed folks to become complacent in, we have

198
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: not had an aggressive conversation station about how millionaires and

199
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: billionaires have basically swindled the United States United States workers

200
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: out of every single fucking penny. The only people that

201
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: have ever consistently talked about this is Bernie Sanders and

202
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Everyone else wants to tell you that all

203
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: is well. All is not fucking well. So you know,

204
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: I see this now, and I look at it from

205
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the vantage point of a voter, right, the average voter,

206
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: not me as a voter, but the average voter, you

207
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: can't afford shit. The gig economy made you believe that, like, oh,

208
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: anybody can get rich quick. No, the gig economy basically

209
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: just said that in today's world, you need to have

210
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: a May nine to five and a side hustle in

211
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: order to be able to just make ends meet. The

212
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: side hustle is not extra money. It's become necessary just

213
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: to do the basics. So you're working harder and longer

214
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: to actually have less. And you don't need to be

215
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: a math wizard in order to see that the math

216
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: is not mathing for the rest of us. So then

217
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump comes in, he gives people a few catchphrases

218
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: and tells them that, oh, don't worry, I'll make everything

219
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: better again. We'll just get rid of these people and

220
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: those things and then there'll be more for people. And

221
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: that's the easy solution, and that's what folks want to hear.

222
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Then you add on the racism and the misogyny. But

223
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: you see how we get here. But Democrats do not

224
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: offer a rigorous economic overhaul of this country that would

225
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: have the middle class and the working class be able

226
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: to be back in reach of the American dream, which

227
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: they have been out of reach of for the last

228
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: thirty years. Folks. I was having this conversation the other

229
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: day with my parents and saying that at my age

230
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: right now, which is not at all young, I am

231
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: old I make more money than my parents did at

232
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: this age, and yet I have less. That has been

233
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: the direction that this country has been going in over

234
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: the last twenty years that I've been working. And roughly,

235
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: what do we say, really, it's about twenty three years,

236
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: so you can see then why seven million people sat home.

237
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's right. You know how many times

238
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I told people to vote and get their neighbors and

239
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: their friends and the young people and this, that and

240
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the other thing. But the reality is is that Democrats

241
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: are losing and need to come up with a better

242
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: plan for what winning and success look like, because it's

243
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: sure as fuck does not look like chasing Republicans over

244
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: the fucking tariff hill. And it also does not look

245
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: like lying to the American people and telling them that

246
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: the economy is great, when in fact, maybe the Dow

247
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: is great for those that have investments there, but for

248
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: everyone else that is just trying to make ends meet,

249
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: just trying to have a little bit in savings or

250
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: have some type of retirement. Things look pretty fucking bleak

251
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: and Democrats frankly, are not meeting the moment. So while

252
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: they want to get themselves tied up in knots about

253
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: a pardon and hunter Biden as opposed to creating an

254
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: actual plan not for how we're going to work with

255
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, but what the plan is for a revision

256
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: at reimagining of the Democratic Party that is steeped solely

257
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: in progressive values, then we might as well all just

258
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: sit home and wait for the end to come, because

259
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: these people seem to be out to fucking lunch right

260
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: now with no sign of returning to their senses anytime soon.

261
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: The fact is Americans are indeed suffering because they will

262
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: never be as well off as their parents or grandparents are,

263
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: and we need to pinpoint when that changed, and I

264
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: would argue that it started to shift dramatically about twenty

265
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: to thirty years ago, and now here we are. So

266
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Democrats cannot continue right with this circle jerk that they

267
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: have been doing with this followed the leader in terms

268
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: of following Republicans to the right if they plan on

269
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: having a party, because right now all they're doing is

270
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: talking to themselves while everyone else has decided to stay home,

271
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: shut off the news, and shut them out. The future

272
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: does not, dear friends, look bright right now, and Democrats

273
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: seem to have put their heads in the fucking sand.

274
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: That is it for me today. Dear friends on wok

275
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: af as always power to the people and to all

276
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: the people. Power, Get woke and stay wokes. Fock
