WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:09.359 Today we return to work after a day off for Memorial Day. Hopefully you 2 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:18.679 took time to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Hopefully you took time 3 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:26.839 to honor those we have lost that have served in our military, those that 4 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:36.240 made the choice to protect your liberties so you don't have to. Hopefully you 5 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.000 took those moments. And now today, as we get ready to go back 6 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:51.119 to work and we start to get rap back up in our everyday lives, 7 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.200 we need to also remember that there are certain things in our lives that, 8 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.680 no matter how important they may seem, they aren't as important as taking the 9 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:18.400 time to try to understand your surroundings, to try to understand exactly what's going 10 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:26.120 on in your state politics, in your city and county politics, in national 11 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.000 politics. This is a presidential election year, make no mistake about it. 12 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.760 People are paying more attention than they normally do, but most of them are 13 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.959 so focused on the presidential race that they haven't bothered to look and see how 14 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.799 their state senator is voting. They haven't bothered to go see how their supervisors 15 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:55.560 are voting. They haven't bothered to look at how they're US senator or their 16 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.120 congressman is voting. These are problems. We want to sit back and complain 17 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.159 about the state of our country. We want to go and point to a 18 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.479 president and say that that is the person that caused all this. And make 19 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.840 no mistake, especially when it comes to Joe Biden. He has a lion's 20 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.800 share of the blame, but there's a lot of blame to be passed around 21 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:29.400 as well. And you can look a lot of times a Congress for a 22 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.080 lot of that blame. Now, before you sit there and say to yourself, 23 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:39.800 oh, well, I'm good because my senator, my congressman is a 24 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.680 Republican, so I have nothing to worry about, be careful with that because 25 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.719 you need to go check their voting records. You need to go check and 26 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.039 make sure that they are voting the way that you would like for them to, 27 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.280 because I got news for you. There probably aren't. They're probably voting 28 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.520 with whatever the party leadership tells them to do, and nine times out its 29 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:16.400 end, it is some hybrid compromise with Democrats. They're not up there putting 30 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.319 on a red shirt and fighting against the blue team. That is a myth. 31 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.639 That is a lie that they have put out there to try to make 32 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:34.000 you feel desperate in your need to always vote for them. If it was 33 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.439 merely a red team versus a blue team, then why do they fight harder 34 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:46.919 against any fellow Republican that dares to step up and challenge them for their seat? 35 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:53.039 Why is it they fight harder against people from their own party than they 36 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.599 ever do in the halls of Congress against the Democrats, the people that they 37 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.120 tell you you must elect them so they can fight against them on your behalf. 38 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.800 You would be shocked to go down and look at the way that they 39 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:17.920 conduct themselves, because I can promise you this, they are not voting the 40 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:26.839 way that you think they are. They are not voting in a manner that 41 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:36.800 you think that they are. It's frustrating, for sure, because everybody has 42 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:47.879 busy schedules, everybody has a lot going on. But it takes just a 43 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:55.240 little effort to go and look up voting records. It takes just a little 44 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.319 effort to go and do a little bit of research to make sure that the 45 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.639 politicians that we're electing, that the people that we're putting in office are going 46 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.160 up there and doing the things they promised us that they would do. Again, 47 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.959 it's not happening. The way that you are being told it is, 48 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.079 and a lot of that is your fault because you're not taking the time to 49 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.639 research it. You get a mailer in the mail that tells you that the 50 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:39.920 challenger candidate is a bad guy, So you go and vote for the guy 51 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:46.439 that you've always voted for without checking to see if he's upheld his end of 52 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.800 the bargain. Because that mailer told you what an evil scoundrel the other person 53 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.319 was. You gotta stop doing that. You gotta do research. Can't just 54 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:05.079 trust what the incumbent tells you about his opponent. And then when it gets 55 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.839 to the general election, you see that he's not really putting up the same 56 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.360 fight because he has a huge lead over the Democrat. That tells you all 57 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:26.240 you need to know about that individual. Look, establishment politicians are the worst 58 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.160 kind. Doesn't matter if they're a Republican or a Democrat. The establishment is 59 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:38.120 the problem. That's one thing you won't find on any of my shows. 60 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:47.079 You will not find any establishment candidates invited to participate here because I understand the 61 00:06:47.199 --> 00:07:00.480 danger they have created. I understand that they are a huge problem, and 62 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.639 it's a problem that's not going away anytime soon. It's a problem that we'll 63 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:14.639 continue because we get so tied up and wrapped up in our everyday lives that 64 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.720 we can't take the time to do that research. We really didn't want to 65 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:28.480 take the time on Memorial Day to honor the fallen, So of course we're 66 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:36.079 not going to take the time to do any bit of research on our congress 67 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:43.240 our congress men, We're not going to take the time to do any research 68 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.439 on our senators. We're going to put all our hopes and dreams in one 69 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:54.519 race, that's the presidential race every four years, and then, no matter 70 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.439 who wins the presidential race, when things still don't really improve, we'll be 71 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:07.959 scratching our head asking why, guys, this is morning Coffee with the Right 72 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:13.399 Side. I'm your host, Jack Fairchild's and we're a part of the Midnight 73 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:13.240 Ride Network.
