WEBVTT - All is Not Well

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks.

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's my thing right now, why can't Democrats ever get

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>anything right? And I say this having spent the last

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>three months trying to get Americans to believe that Democrats

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and their desire to preserve democracy was in their best interest,

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and that obviously failed because in just a few weeks

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>we have a fascist, right wing, white nationalist government that

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to be coming in to destroy basically what

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>is left of our democracy. And instead of focusing their

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>attention on the incoming devastation, what are Democrats doing right

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>now attacking Joe Biden for pardoning his son? Now, Folks,

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I was on yesterday Tavis Smiley's radio show, and Tabs

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>asked me a question and said, did Joe Biden lie

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to the American people when he said that he had

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>no intention of pardoning his son? And my response was no.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>What Joe Biden is doing and what he has done

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>is politics. The fact of the matter is, when he

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>was asked would he pardon his son, Joe Biden should

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>have done what politicians in the past have always done.

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to allow the Department of Justice to move

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>through their investigation and come to a determination at that time.

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean. It means exactly what I said,

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and keep it moving. Democrats continue to play with rules

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and in a game that no longer exists. Then Tavis

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>asked me, well, Danielle, do two wrongs, then make a

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>right with regard to the fact that Donald Trump is

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a criminal and has been charged with criminal behavior, all

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of which has been wiped away because the crimes that

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>he committed in order to stay in office in twenty

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty now that he is back in office after the

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four election have magically disappeared. And you want

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to compare Hunter Biden filling out a form wrong with

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty four felony counts with Donald Trump pardoning his entire

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>inner circle for being foreign agents for grifting off of constituents.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>You want to compare Hunter Biden filling out a document

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>wrong while he was battling his substance abuse addiction with

0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump being totally incompletely coherent when he told January

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sixth insurrectionists to go take their country back. You want

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to compare that to the perfect call to go find

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>me eleven seven hundred and fifty some odd votes. You

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>want to compare that form from an unelected person to

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>all of the things that Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn,

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Roger Stone, Paul Matafore, Charles Kushner have all done. And

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>look at me in my face and think that those

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>accusations that Democrats are wielding right now against Biden are

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>fucking warranted. And this is why Democrats will continue to

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>lose because in their desire to play the adult in

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the room and chase Republicans off of their right wing

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>extremist cliff, they are leaving the entire base of their

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>party behind. And I'm no longer going to tell people

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>moving forward, well, this is the most consequential dout dot

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>dot fill in the blank, and you must vote for

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat because guess what. Seven million people stayed home

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four. Seven million Americans decided that they

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>would rather toin costs this election than actually put any

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>skin in the game. Well, now your whole body's in

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>the game, because you're getting ready to lose your health insurance,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Your mother and father are getting ready to lose their

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Social Security, your family members are getting ready to lose

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever type of stability that they may have cobbled together

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>for themselves over the past several years because of that

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>coin toss. But then I have to ask myself if

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at this from the vantage point not through

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the lens of a racist, but you're looking at this

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>through the lens of well both parties are bought by

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>corporations and high dollar donors that every time that we

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>think that we have moved with the Democratic Party into

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a place of progression, then they want to go back

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and embrace the Liz Cheneys and the Dick Cheneys of

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the world and talk about having Republicans in their cabinet

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>when they can, and even get a pro Palestinian person

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>to bring on the stage for the DNC to talk

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>about gaza. So we do live inside of an upside

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>down world and Democrats continue to play in our faces.

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And why do I say that, because I actually expected

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>them not to be better, meaning be on their high horse,

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>but understand that when the rules of the game change,

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that they need to move in a nimble fashion. And

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>this is where Democrats refuse to be because they are

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>allowing once again for Republicans to set the agenda, and

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>all they are positioning themselves to do is to respond

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>in this point and place of destruction. We need to

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>be in a place of bold imagination because guess what,

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>for the next several decades, we're not going to be

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>able to do a fucking thing under the Trump Maga regime.

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So all you have right now is your imagination and

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>thinking about what can be better, because inside of these

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>systems that we're holding on to and saying, oh my god,

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the institution, the institution, Donald Trump is going to destroy it. Well,

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact of the matter is, folks, is that if

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.679
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the Department of Education, and we're talking

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Environmental Protection Agency, and we're talking about health

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and human services, if you talk with black people, if

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you talk with low income people, they're going to tell

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you that those agencies haven't been doing a fucking thing

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for them except for the semblance the perception that they

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 1>work for everybody. But in actuality, we know that that

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't be further from the fucking truth. So if we

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>know that Donald Trump is coming in to destroy everything,

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>then why is it that Democrats still have a failure

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of fucking imagination about what could potentially come next. Not

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 1>that in that next phase we're all gonna benefit from it, No,

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>we will be long gone. But in doing this tit

0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>for tat bullshit, what Democrats continue to show is that

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 1>they have learned nothing. And if you learn nothing, then

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>tell me again why the people of this country should

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>trust you, because that's what this all comes down to.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And whether or not we want to admit it, they

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>trust Donald Trump because they trust him to destroy what

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it is that they don't like, and he says that

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he will. And now I put my faith in trust

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in a Democratic party because they say that they're going

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to fix things. And then at the end of the day,

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I look and what they have done is continue to

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>paint a rotten house. What they have done is continue

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to put a band aid on a patient that is

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>on life preserve. You know, at some point, folks, at

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>some point, we have got to reconcile with the reality

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>here that Democrats are not built for this moment. I

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>could give a shit about what Joe Biden's legacy is

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be, because if we think that the part

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in is going to be the thing that tarnishes Joe

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Biden's legacy, well then we haven't been paying attention for

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the last fucking year plus that he has provided weapons

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of mass destruction to a fucking toxic, genocidal, homicidal maniac

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>in Israel. Joe Biden's legacy is going to be what

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>has always been America's legacy, which is that we are

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>on the wrong side of justice almost all the fucking time.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to liberation movements. America is not there

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>unless it is serving our best interests, and our best

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>interests look like a financial investment or an extraction of

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>some kind. And because all we can see is that

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>the people of Gaza are begging for humanity or begging

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>for reprieve, Well, if there were oil underneath Gaza, that

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 1>then they could offer up, maybe the United States would

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>give a fucking damn. So when seven million people decide

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to sit out, let's not all just shrug our shoulders

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>as we been known to do, as I have been

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>known to do, and say, well, those people are stupid

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and they don't care about their lives. Maybe they do,

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and maybe what they have been seeing over the last

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>decades is that they have lost track of who the

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party actually is. Because in fact, the Democratic Party

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>has clearly lost track of who it is. It's so

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>busy trying to be the adult in the room, they

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't recognize that everyone else has left the fucking room,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and so now they're just talking to themselves. I just

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>saw something, folks, and I don't know, like I have

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to do investigation right. What I saw on top of

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>my own anecdotal evidence rings true, it said, and I'll

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>pull it up here so that I read it accurately.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I follow this site called boardroom on Instagram, and boardroom posts,

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, business news and this, that and the other thing,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and so well, I see this post, folks, and it

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>says the average age of US home buyers. Get this

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>jumps to fifty six years old. And they write this,

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:18.479
<v Speaker 1>and this is according to CNBC, home ownership is increasingly

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>out of reach for younger generations, with the average age

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>of US home buyers rising by six years since twenty

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. So in twenty twenty three, the average age

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>has jumped six years, which means that prior to this,

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the average age for buying a home, folks, was fifty,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and now it is fifty six. They also go on

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to say that the National Association of Realtors points to

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a confluence of factors. The median home price has surged

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine percent since twenty twenty to four hundred and

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty five thousand, while the average thirty year fixed mortgage

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>rate has more than doubled, exceeding six percent. So here's

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the deal. The lie that has been told is that

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:15.079
<v Speaker 1>all is well and good. The fact is, folks, is

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>that wages in the United States have not risen to

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>match the increase in the mortgage rate as well as

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in the housing market. So if you're telling me that

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the average age of a person that is able to

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>afford a home is fifty six, and then you're telling

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 1>me that after you're able to buy said home, that

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to then have enough money to be able

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to retire at sixty five, folks, the math ain't mathem,

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't make any fucking sense. The fact is

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is that this country has been privatized within an inch

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of its fucking life. You have had foreclosures happen and

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>then companies come in and scoop up those homes, increase

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the mortgage rate, increase the amount that it costs to

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>buy a home because you're no longer going from person

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to person you're going from corporation to person no one

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>can keep up. Not only that, but if you live

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>in a city, then you would also know that the

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking rent has risen astronomically since twenty twenty. So you

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>can't afford to buy a home, you can't afford to rent,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and your wages have it increased at all but everything,

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>And now you have Donald Trump coming in that's going

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to put a tariff on every single thing, So your

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>money is not even going to go as far as

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it did in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty five.

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So again, when I talk about the incremental change that

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have allowed folks to become complacent in, we have

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>not had an aggressive conversation station about how millionaires and

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:08.599
<v Speaker 1>billionaires have basically swindled the United States United States workers

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>out of every single fucking penny. The only people that

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have ever consistently talked about this is Bernie Sanders and

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren. Everyone else wants to tell you that all

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>is well. All is not fucking well. So you know,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I see this now, and I look at it from

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the vantage point of a voter, right, the average voter,

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 1>not me as a voter, but the average voter, you

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>can't afford shit. The gig economy made you believe that, like, oh,

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>anybody can get rich quick. No, the gig economy basically

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>just said that in today's world, you need to have

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a May nine to five and a side hustle in

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>order to be able to just make ends meet. The

0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>side hustle is not extra money. It's become necessary just

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to do the basics. So you're working harder and longer

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to actually have less. And you don't need to be

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>a math wizard in order to see that the math

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>is not mathing for the rest of us. So then

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump comes in, he gives people a few catchphrases

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and tells them that, oh, don't worry, I'll make everything

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>better again. We'll just get rid of these people and

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>those things and then there'll be more for people. And

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the easy solution, and that's what folks want to hear.

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Then you add on the racism and the misogyny. But

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you see how we get here. But Democrats do not

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>offer a rigorous economic overhaul of this country that would

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>have the middle class and the working class be able

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to be back in reach of the American dream, which

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>they have been out of reach of for the last

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty years. Folks. I was having this conversation the other

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>day with my parents and saying that at my age

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>right now, which is not at all young, I am

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>old I make more money than my parents did at

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>this age, and yet I have less. That has been

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the direction that this country has been going in over

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty years that I've been working. And roughly,

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>what do we say, really, it's about twenty three years,

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>so you can see then why seven million people sat home.

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it's right. You know how many times

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I told people to vote and get their neighbors and

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 1>their friends and the young people and this, that and

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the other thing. But the reality is is that Democrats

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>are losing and need to come up with a better

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>plan for what winning and success look like, because it's

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>sure as fuck does not look like chasing Republicans over

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the fucking tariff hill. And it also does not look

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>like lying to the American people and telling them that

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the economy is great, when in fact, maybe the Dow

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is great for those that have investments there, but for

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone else that is just trying to make ends meet,

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>just trying to have a little bit in savings or

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>have some type of retirement. Things look pretty fucking bleak

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and Democrats frankly, are not meeting the moment. So while

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>they want to get themselves tied up in knots about

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a pardon and hunter Biden as opposed to creating an

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>actual plan not for how we're going to work with

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, but what the plan is for a revision

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>at reimagining of the Democratic Party that is steeped solely

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in progressive values, then we might as well all just

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>sit home and wait for the end to come, because

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>these people seem to be out to fucking lunch right

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>now with no sign of returning to their senses anytime soon.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>The fact is Americans are indeed suffering because they will

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>never be as well off as their parents or grandparents are,

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and we need to pinpoint when that changed, and I

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>would argue that it started to shift dramatically about twenty

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to thirty years ago, and now here we are. So

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Democrats cannot continue right with this circle jerk that they

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 1>have been doing with this followed the leader in terms

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of following Republicans to the right if they plan on

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>having a party, because right now all they're doing is

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>talking to themselves while everyone else has decided to stay home,

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>shut off the news, and shut them out. The future

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>does not, dear friends, look bright right now, and Democrats

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>seem to have put their heads in the fucking sand.

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>That is it for me today. Dear friends on wok

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>af as always power to the people and to all

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the people. Power, Get woke and stay wokes. Fock
