Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.
Speaker 1: Here's my thing right now, why can't Democrats ever get
Speaker 1: anything right? And I say this having spent the last
Speaker 1: three months trying to get Americans to believe that Democrats
Speaker 1: and their desire to preserve democracy was in their best interest,
Speaker 1: and that obviously failed because in just a few weeks
Speaker 1: we have a fascist, right wing, white nationalist government that
Speaker 1: is going to be coming in to destroy basically what
Speaker 1: is left of our democracy. And instead of focusing their
Speaker 1: attention on the incoming devastation, what are Democrats doing right
Speaker 1: now attacking Joe Biden for pardoning his son? Now, Folks,
Speaker 1: I was on yesterday Tavis Smiley's radio show, and Tabs
Speaker 1: asked me a question and said, did Joe Biden lie
Speaker 1: to the American people when he said that he had
Speaker 1: no intention of pardoning his son? And my response was no.
Speaker 1: What Joe Biden is doing and what he has done
Speaker 1: is politics. The fact of the matter is, when he
Speaker 1: was asked would he pardon his son, Joe Biden should
Speaker 1: have done what politicians in the past have always done.
Speaker 1: I'm going to allow the Department of Justice to move
Speaker 1: through their investigation and come to a determination at that time.
Speaker 1: What does that mean. It means exactly what I said,
Speaker 1: and keep it moving. Democrats continue to play with rules
Speaker 1: and in a game that no longer exists. Then Tavis
Speaker 1: asked me, well, Danielle, do two wrongs, then make a
Speaker 1: right with regard to the fact that Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: a criminal and has been charged with criminal behavior, all
Speaker 1: of which has been wiped away because the crimes that
Speaker 1: he committed in order to stay in office in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty now that he is back in office after the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election have magically disappeared. And you want
Speaker 1: to compare Hunter Biden filling out a form wrong with
Speaker 1: thirty four felony counts with Donald Trump pardoning his entire
Speaker 1: inner circle for being foreign agents for grifting off of constituents.
Speaker 1: You want to compare Hunter Biden filling out a document
Speaker 1: wrong while he was battling his substance abuse addiction with
Speaker 1: Donald Trump being totally incompletely coherent when he told January
Speaker 1: sixth insurrectionists to go take their country back. You want
Speaker 1: to compare that to the perfect call to go find
Speaker 1: me eleven seven hundred and fifty some odd votes. You
Speaker 1: want to compare that form from an unelected person to
Speaker 1: all of the things that Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn,
Speaker 1: Roger Stone, Paul Matafore, Charles Kushner have all done. And
Speaker 1: look at me in my face and think that those
Speaker 1: accusations that Democrats are wielding right now against Biden are
Speaker 1: fucking warranted. And this is why Democrats will continue to
Speaker 1: lose because in their desire to play the adult in
Speaker 1: the room and chase Republicans off of their right wing
Speaker 1: extremist cliff, they are leaving the entire base of their
Speaker 1: party behind. And I'm no longer going to tell people
Speaker 1: moving forward, well, this is the most consequential dout dot
Speaker 1: dot fill in the blank, and you must vote for
Speaker 1: the Democrat because guess what. Seven million people stayed home
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Seven million Americans decided that they
Speaker 1: would rather toin costs this election than actually put any
Speaker 1: skin in the game. Well, now your whole body's in
Speaker 1: the game, because you're getting ready to lose your health insurance,
Speaker 1: Your mother and father are getting ready to lose their
Speaker 1: Social Security, your family members are getting ready to lose
Speaker 1: whatever type of stability that they may have cobbled together
Speaker 1: for themselves over the past several years because of that
Speaker 1: coin toss. But then I have to ask myself if
Speaker 1: you're looking at this from the vantage point not through
Speaker 1: the lens of a racist, but you're looking at this
Speaker 1: through the lens of well both parties are bought by
Speaker 1: corporations and high dollar donors that every time that we
Speaker 1: think that we have moved with the Democratic Party into
Speaker 1: a place of progression, then they want to go back
Speaker 1: and embrace the Liz Cheneys and the Dick Cheneys of
Speaker 1: the world and talk about having Republicans in their cabinet
Speaker 1: when they can, and even get a pro Palestinian person
Speaker 1: to bring on the stage for the DNC to talk
Speaker 1: about gaza. So we do live inside of an upside
Speaker 1: down world and Democrats continue to play in our faces.
Speaker 1: And why do I say that, because I actually expected
Speaker 1: them not to be better, meaning be on their high horse,
Speaker 1: but understand that when the rules of the game change,
Speaker 1: that they need to move in a nimble fashion. And
Speaker 1: this is where Democrats refuse to be because they are
Speaker 1: allowing once again for Republicans to set the agenda, and
Speaker 1: all they are positioning themselves to do is to respond
Speaker 1: in this point and place of destruction. We need to
Speaker 1: be in a place of bold imagination because guess what,
Speaker 1: for the next several decades, we're not going to be
Speaker 1: able to do a fucking thing under the Trump Maga regime.
Speaker 1: So all you have right now is your imagination and
Speaker 1: thinking about what can be better, because inside of these
Speaker 1: systems that we're holding on to and saying, oh my god,
Speaker 1: the institution, the institution, Donald Trump is going to destroy it. Well,
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is, folks, is that if
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Department of Education, and we're talking
Speaker 1: about the Environmental Protection Agency, and we're talking about health
Speaker 1: and human services, if you talk with black people, if
Speaker 1: you talk with low income people, they're going to tell
Speaker 1: you that those agencies haven't been doing a fucking thing
Speaker 1: for them except for the semblance the perception that they
Speaker 1: work for everybody. But in actuality, we know that that
Speaker 1: couldn't be further from the fucking truth. So if we
Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump is coming in to destroy everything,
Speaker 1: then why is it that Democrats still have a failure
Speaker 1: of fucking imagination about what could potentially come next. Not
Speaker 1: that in that next phase we're all gonna benefit from it, No,
Speaker 1: we will be long gone. But in doing this tit
Speaker 1: for tat bullshit, what Democrats continue to show is that
Speaker 1: they have learned nothing. And if you learn nothing, then
Speaker 1: tell me again why the people of this country should
Speaker 1: trust you, because that's what this all comes down to.
Speaker 1: And whether or not we want to admit it, they
Speaker 1: trust Donald Trump because they trust him to destroy what
Speaker 1: it is that they don't like, and he says that
Speaker 1: he will. And now I put my faith in trust
Speaker 1: in a Democratic party because they say that they're going
Speaker 1: to fix things. And then at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I look and what they have done is continue to
Speaker 1: paint a rotten house. What they have done is continue
Speaker 1: to put a band aid on a patient that is
Speaker 1: on life preserve. You know, at some point, folks, at
Speaker 1: some point, we have got to reconcile with the reality
Speaker 1: here that Democrats are not built for this moment. I
Speaker 1: could give a shit about what Joe Biden's legacy is
Speaker 1: going to be, because if we think that the part
Speaker 1: in is going to be the thing that tarnishes Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's legacy, well then we haven't been paying attention for
Speaker 1: the last fucking year plus that he has provided weapons
Speaker 1: of mass destruction to a fucking toxic, genocidal, homicidal maniac
Speaker 1: in Israel. Joe Biden's legacy is going to be what
Speaker 1: has always been America's legacy, which is that we are
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of justice almost all the fucking time.
Speaker 1: When it comes to liberation movements. America is not there
Speaker 1: unless it is serving our best interests, and our best
Speaker 1: interests look like a financial investment or an extraction of
Speaker 1: some kind. And because all we can see is that
Speaker 1: the people of Gaza are begging for humanity or begging
Speaker 1: for reprieve, Well, if there were oil underneath Gaza, that
Speaker 1: then they could offer up, maybe the United States would
Speaker 1: give a fucking damn. So when seven million people decide
Speaker 1: to sit out, let's not all just shrug our shoulders
Speaker 1: as we been known to do, as I have been
Speaker 1: known to do, and say, well, those people are stupid
Speaker 1: and they don't care about their lives. Maybe they do,
Speaker 1: and maybe what they have been seeing over the last
Speaker 1: decades is that they have lost track of who the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party actually is. Because in fact, the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: has clearly lost track of who it is. It's so
Speaker 1: busy trying to be the adult in the room, they
Speaker 1: didn't recognize that everyone else has left the fucking room,
Speaker 1: and so now they're just talking to themselves. I just
Speaker 1: saw something, folks, and I don't know, like I have
Speaker 1: to do investigation right. What I saw on top of
Speaker 1: my own anecdotal evidence rings true, it said, and I'll
Speaker 1: pull it up here so that I read it accurately.
Speaker 1: I follow this site called boardroom on Instagram, and boardroom posts,
Speaker 1: you know, business news and this, that and the other thing,
Speaker 1: and so well, I see this post, folks, and it
Speaker 1: says the average age of US home buyers. Get this
Speaker 1: jumps to fifty six years old. And they write this,
Speaker 1: and this is according to CNBC, home ownership is increasingly
Speaker 1: out of reach for younger generations, with the average age
Speaker 1: of US home buyers rising by six years since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. So in twenty twenty three, the average age
Speaker 1: has jumped six years, which means that prior to this,
Speaker 1: the average age for buying a home, folks, was fifty,
Speaker 1: and now it is fifty six. They also go on
Speaker 1: to say that the National Association of Realtors points to
Speaker 1: a confluence of factors. The median home price has surged
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent since twenty twenty to four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand, while the average thirty year fixed mortgage
Speaker 1: rate has more than doubled, exceeding six percent. So here's
Speaker 1: the deal. The lie that has been told is that
Speaker 1: all is well and good. The fact is, folks, is
Speaker 1: that wages in the United States have not risen to
Speaker 1: match the increase in the mortgage rate as well as
Speaker 1: in the housing market. So if you're telling me that
Speaker 1: the average age of a person that is able to
Speaker 1: afford a home is fifty six, and then you're telling
Speaker 1: me that after you're able to buy said home, that
Speaker 1: you're supposed to then have enough money to be able
Speaker 1: to retire at sixty five, folks, the math ain't mathem,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make any fucking sense. The fact is
Speaker 1: is that this country has been privatized within an inch
Speaker 1: of its fucking life. You have had foreclosures happen and
Speaker 1: then companies come in and scoop up those homes, increase
Speaker 1: the mortgage rate, increase the amount that it costs to
Speaker 1: buy a home because you're no longer going from person
Speaker 1: to person you're going from corporation to person no one
Speaker 1: can keep up. Not only that, but if you live
Speaker 1: in a city, then you would also know that the
Speaker 1: fucking rent has risen astronomically since twenty twenty. So you
Speaker 1: can't afford to buy a home, you can't afford to rent,
Speaker 1: and your wages have it increased at all but everything,
Speaker 1: And now you have Donald Trump coming in that's going
Speaker 1: to put a tariff on every single thing, So your
Speaker 1: money is not even going to go as far as
Speaker 1: it did in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So again, when I talk about the incremental change that
Speaker 1: Democrats have allowed folks to become complacent in, we have
Speaker 1: not had an aggressive conversation station about how millionaires and
Speaker 1: billionaires have basically swindled the United States United States workers
Speaker 1: out of every single fucking penny. The only people that
Speaker 1: have ever consistently talked about this is Bernie Sanders and
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Everyone else wants to tell you that all
Speaker 1: is well. All is not fucking well. So you know,
Speaker 1: I see this now, and I look at it from
Speaker 1: the vantage point of a voter, right, the average voter,
Speaker 1: not me as a voter, but the average voter, you
Speaker 1: can't afford shit. The gig economy made you believe that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: anybody can get rich quick. No, the gig economy basically
Speaker 1: just said that in today's world, you need to have
Speaker 1: a May nine to five and a side hustle in
Speaker 1: order to be able to just make ends meet. The
Speaker 1: side hustle is not extra money. It's become necessary just
Speaker 1: to do the basics. So you're working harder and longer
Speaker 1: to actually have less. And you don't need to be
Speaker 1: a math wizard in order to see that the math
Speaker 1: is not mathing for the rest of us. So then
Speaker 1: Donald Trump comes in, he gives people a few catchphrases
Speaker 1: and tells them that, oh, don't worry, I'll make everything
Speaker 1: better again. We'll just get rid of these people and
Speaker 1: those things and then there'll be more for people. And
Speaker 1: that's the easy solution, and that's what folks want to hear.
Speaker 1: Then you add on the racism and the misogyny. But
Speaker 1: you see how we get here. But Democrats do not
Speaker 1: offer a rigorous economic overhaul of this country that would
Speaker 1: have the middle class and the working class be able
Speaker 1: to be back in reach of the American dream, which
Speaker 1: they have been out of reach of for the last
Speaker 1: thirty years. Folks. I was having this conversation the other
Speaker 1: day with my parents and saying that at my age
Speaker 1: right now, which is not at all young, I am
Speaker 1: old I make more money than my parents did at
Speaker 1: this age, and yet I have less. That has been
Speaker 1: the direction that this country has been going in over
Speaker 1: the last twenty years that I've been working. And roughly,
Speaker 1: what do we say, really, it's about twenty three years,
Speaker 1: so you can see then why seven million people sat home.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's right. You know how many times
Speaker 1: I told people to vote and get their neighbors and
Speaker 1: their friends and the young people and this, that and
Speaker 1: the other thing. But the reality is is that Democrats
Speaker 1: are losing and need to come up with a better
Speaker 1: plan for what winning and success look like, because it's
Speaker 1: sure as fuck does not look like chasing Republicans over
Speaker 1: the fucking tariff hill. And it also does not look
Speaker 1: like lying to the American people and telling them that
Speaker 1: the economy is great, when in fact, maybe the Dow
Speaker 1: is great for those that have investments there, but for
Speaker 1: everyone else that is just trying to make ends meet,
Speaker 1: just trying to have a little bit in savings or
Speaker 1: have some type of retirement. Things look pretty fucking bleak
Speaker 1: and Democrats frankly, are not meeting the moment. So while
Speaker 1: they want to get themselves tied up in knots about
Speaker 1: a pardon and hunter Biden as opposed to creating an
Speaker 1: actual plan not for how we're going to work with
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, but what the plan is for a revision
Speaker 1: at reimagining of the Democratic Party that is steeped solely
Speaker 1: in progressive values, then we might as well all just
Speaker 1: sit home and wait for the end to come, because
Speaker 1: these people seem to be out to fucking lunch right
Speaker 1: now with no sign of returning to their senses anytime soon.
Speaker 1: The fact is Americans are indeed suffering because they will
Speaker 1: never be as well off as their parents or grandparents are,
Speaker 1: and we need to pinpoint when that changed, and I
Speaker 1: would argue that it started to shift dramatically about twenty
Speaker 1: to thirty years ago, and now here we are. So
Speaker 1: Democrats cannot continue right with this circle jerk that they
Speaker 1: have been doing with this followed the leader in terms
Speaker 1: of following Republicans to the right if they plan on
Speaker 1: having a party, because right now all they're doing is
Speaker 1: talking to themselves while everyone else has decided to stay home,
Speaker 1: shut off the news, and shut them out. The future
Speaker 1: does not, dear friends, look bright right now, and Democrats
Speaker 1: seem to have put their heads in the fucking sand.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today. Dear friends on wok
Speaker 1: af as always power to the people and to all
Speaker 1: the people. Power, Get woke and stay wokes. Fock
