<v Speaker 2>to grow and we really appreciate that. Also. Programming update,

50
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 2>of course, if you listen to Morning Coffee or if

51
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>you just follow the news. The southern part of the

52
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>United States, the areas that normally don't get hit with

53
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>any snow, got hit with a massive snowstorm. Now, those

54
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>of us in Jones County, Mississippi, we did not really

55
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>see true accumulation. We saw some snow flurries, but it

56
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 2>did not give us anything but better cold. But twenty

57
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>minutes down the road in Hattiesburg they got a nice

58
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 2>little path of snow, and all the way down to

59
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans they got eight to ten inches of snow.

60
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>So it was insane the last couple of days. With that,

61
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>it's retavoc on scheduling of things and whatnot. So Chris

62
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 2>McDaniels America. We're hoping that it will be recorded tomorrow

63
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's our target. But of course I've not heard

64
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>back from the production crew yet, so they were further south,

65
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>which is as crazy as it sounds. They were a

66
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>part of the area that was more affected by the

67
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>winter storm. I believe they should be able to get

68
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>out and travel a little bit tomorrow, but we shall see,

69
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 2>because we are not one hundred percent sure at the

70
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>moment of what's going to go on with that. But

71
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>right now, that's the current plan. Chris McDaniels America. The

72
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>newest episode record tomorrow and have a mass released Friday morning.

73
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes on the lookout for episode thirty nine of Chris

74
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>McDaniels America. Now, what do I want to talk about

75
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>to start off this show. Well, of course, we know

76
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>this week saw the return of Donald Trump as the

77
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States. We've already seen Donald Trump

78
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>going in and in acting several executive orders, undoing several

79
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>of Joe Biden's executive orders. Emay that knows me knows.

80
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a huge fan of executive orders. I want

81
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 2>to see things done through the proper processes. But in

82
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>several instances, these type of executive orders that are undoing

83
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>previous executive orders, I'm fine with that. It's when you

84
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>start bypassing Congress completely. That's that's when I start to

85
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>have a problem with it. We'll see in the next

86
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>couple of days what more comes out. But one of

87
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the things I really wanted to talk about tonight because

88
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of one of those issues that has bothered

89
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>me a little bit. This nation, as we know, is

90
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 2>completely divided. Half of us are on Red Team, half

91
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>of us are on Blue Team. Now, I don't have

92
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>to rehash how I feel about Red Team and Blue Team.

93
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>That's something you can go back and listen to in

94
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 2>previous episodes. But what I do want to talk about

95
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>is how we're allowing this divide to further split us,

96
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>potentially ruining relationships. I get it, you view the other

97
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>side as crazy and they view you as crazy. But

98
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>we've always had political division in this country. It's always existed,

99
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>But now it's almost as if the battle lines are

100
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>drawn so far, so severe, that we're willing to cut

101
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>ties with family members because they disagree with us on

102
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 2>certain issues, or because I vote Republican and they vote Democrat.

103
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I found a story just why I was doing show

104
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>prep today. It's on Fox News. You can go find

105
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>it yourself. The headline is liberal parents struggle with Trump

106
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 2>voting son, New York Times reports, and again the story

107
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.080
<v Speaker 2>talks about how liberal parents are now the ones clashing

108
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 2>with their conservative sons after the election. According to a

109
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>New York Times article published on Sunday, it says when

110
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Eli brought a Make America Great Again hat home from

111
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>college this summer, his parents threw it into the corner

112
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>of his bedroom. They argued about guns, immigration, and abortion,

113
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>struggling to do so without permanently damaging their relationship. It continued,

114
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>facts don't matter to you. Again, they and that goes

115
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>back to one of the major problems here, this whole

116
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>argument that the left loves to well, facts don't matter

117
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>to you. They for a long time, throughout the fact

118
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>that Donald Trump was facing these prosecutions, that that somehow

119
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 2>justified their stance, that he was a terrible person, that

120
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he was a criminal, even though if they want to

121
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 2>talk about how facts don't matter to you, they ignore

122
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the fact that several of these things should have been

123
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>misdemeanors and never gone to the level that it went,

124
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and that it was completely politicized. But they don't want

125
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to talk about that. They don't want to get into

126
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>those issues, because again, that doesn't make them feel good,

127
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't strengthen their argument this issue. Again, for a

128
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 2>long time, there were a lot of conservative parents dealing

129
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>with their children who came home from college after being

130
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 2>indoctrinated by radical liberal professors. The difference there is why

131
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the conservative parents would argue against their beliefs. They still

132
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>showed love for their child. In the readings of some

133
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>of these articles and some of these things that I've

134
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>come across from those on the left, They're willing to

135
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 2>completely disassociate with their own children merely because of a

136
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 2>political disagreement. I don't understand that. Again, I don't have

137
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 2>any children on my own, but I have witnessed my

138
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>own parents. I have witnessed friends of mine with kids.

139
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I even have my own nieces, I have step niece

140
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and step nephew. I have adopted two nephews and my

141
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>good friend Chris McDaniel's two sons. Why it's not the

142
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 2>same as a parental love. I understand that I do

143
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>have some understanding of what it's like to love someone unconditionally,

144
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.919
<v Speaker 2>but I also have been able to witness these friends

145
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>with kids and witness what they go through. The struggle

146
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>when their children are maybe acting out or being disrespectful,

147
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>not because they're not good kids, but because again, once

148
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you hit that teenage years, those hormones tend to help

149
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you make some bad decisions at times. But the one

150
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>thing that always remains true no matter what is I

151
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>know there's nothing those kids could ever do that would

152
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>break that love that their parents have for them. But

153
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>in some of these articles, some of the stuff that

154
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading, I'm not quite sure that the left views

155
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 2>that parental loved the same way that we do. I

156
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>can think back to times in my life where friends

157
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 2>went off to college, came back with more liberal beliefs

158
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're more conservative upbringing their parents. When they came home.

159
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>They didn't miss try to challenge every belief that they had.

160
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 2>They maybe would say, well, that's interesting and maybe in

161
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>time they could have it. But they understood when something's

162
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>new to a child, when he comes home with something new,

163
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna win by trying to poke holes in

164
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.799
<v Speaker 2>it right away. But they also understood too that it's

165
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>okay to disagree, is okay to be on other sides

166
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>of the fence. Now have we gone so far extreme

167
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the polittle equations, to these political

168
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 2>arguments that we can't have civil discussions. The answer to

169
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 2>that in many cases is yes. Just go on the

170
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>internet and you'll see firsthand how uncivil the conversations are.

171
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Everybody wants to have that gotcha moment, that one up moment.

172
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Even though that we have this on the internet, it

173
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 2>has now transferred itself into real life. The meme culture,

174
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call it, that, where everything needs

175
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>to be quick, concise, and witty, where you're always trying

176
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to get that one shot at the person that you

177
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:28.120
<v Speaker 2>disagree with. Look, I'm not gonna say I'm not guilty

178
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of it. I'm a talk radio show host. Of course

179
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I take shots at people. It's part of what I do.

180
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>But would I do that with my own child. No,

181
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:44.360
<v Speaker 2>there would come a point in time where we'd have

182
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 2>rational conversation. But I can tell you one of the

183
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>things that I would not do, no matter even if

184
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought it, I would not instantly throw in their

185
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 2>face how wrong they are, because you're not going to

186
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>win an argument that way. You cannot win an argument,

187
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>especially with young person, by just instantly going to that

188
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>this is why you're wrong card, that's going to shut

189
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>him down instantly. But back to this point, when you

190
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 2>look at this stuff and you see some of the

191
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>things that are being set online, some of the discussions,

192
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 2>some of the discourse, it's crazy Carrie Underwood, country music singer.

193
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>She performed at Trump's inauguration. The liberal elite in that

194
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood class that she's a part of, or attacking her.

195
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 2>They're attacking her because she associated with Donald Trump. There

196
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.080
<v Speaker 2>was a time in this country not long ago, that

197
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.799
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't have mattered who was elected the president of

198
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.159
<v Speaker 2>the United States. It would have been the honor of

199
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>your life to be invited to perform at that event.

200
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>But now because she accepted such an honor, she's a

201
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>bad person. Oh, she's a Trump person. She's terrible. Look,

202
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be honest with you. I have no clue

203
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 2>what Carrie Underwood's politics are about. I really don't don't care.

204
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 2>But seeing this division and seeing the attacks that have

205
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 2>been lobbied at her, that have been thrown at her

206
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 2>merely because she wanted to show up and perform at

207
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Trump's inauguration. She was invited. It's the president of the

208
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.840
<v Speaker 2>United States, It's the honor of a lifetime. If you're

209
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 2>a performer, these are the type of events that you

210
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 2>probably hope for, you dream of. She's supposed to turn

211
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>it down just because you don't like the person that one.

212
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a you problem, not a her problem.

213
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.839
<v Speaker 2>These are the type things that we're continuing to see,

214
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 2>this true, true divide. And as we witness this divide,

215
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the next question, the next big thing that we have

216
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to have a discussion about, that we have to have

217
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a frank conversation about, is can we ever come back

218
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 2>from this? Are we so far divided? Are we so

219
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.400
<v Speaker 2>far gone now that there's no hope of us ever

220
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>finding any common ground. I'm not talking about when it

221
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 2>comes to policy. I'm not talking about giving up your ground,

222
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>because as you know, I'm not a big fan of

223
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>giving in to compromise, especially when the track record is

224
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that conservatives lose every time we cut a compromise, every

225
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 2>time we reach across the aisle, we lose. But I'm

226
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about everyday people, everyday society. There are so many

227
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>things that we can focus on that we can find

228
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that commonality, that we can find that common ground on.

229
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 2>There are so many aspects of our lives that if

230
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>we reach out to someone that has a different political

231
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>view on it, we can find some commonality. Sometimes it

232
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 2>might be through our faith. Sometimes it might be to

233
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>our jobs, to our love of our favorite sports team,

234
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is. There are areas where we can find

235
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a commonality with one another in society. There are areas

236
00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>where we can pick out an opportunity to have a

237
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:08.039
<v Speaker 2>civil discussion. But all too often we'd rather go to

238
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>that me mentality where we want to come up with

239
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 2>a quick sound bite. Even though we're not on television,

240
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>we're not on the radio, we're not the ones that

241
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing front and center, but we still crave that attention.

242
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>We still crave that idea, so we won't that viral moment.

243
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Even if that viral moment is only amongst our peers,

244
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>we still crave it, we still want it. It's something

245
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that we believe will entertain others. So instead of trying

246
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 2>to focus on our commonality, instead of trying to focus

247
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 2>on the issues that could probably unite us and bring

248
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 2>us together, we double down on just being mean and

249
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 2>nasty to one another. All too often, it's so much

250
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 2>easier for us to come up with the snide remark

251
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 2>than it is to come up with a good natured response.

252
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>There's a saying in the South. You've probably heard it

253
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 2>a time or two. If a little old lady looks

254
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 2>at you and she tells you bless your heart, she's

255
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>not truly blessing your heart. She's letting you know she

256
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.200
<v Speaker 2>thinks you're an idiot. But she's doing it in a

257
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>kind manner. And most of us in the South know

258
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 2>when we hear that uttered, it's time to move home,

259
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>because she's trying to be respectful. Now, if you flip

260
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that on its script, you fast forward to today's times

261
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>and you have someone younger, it's not going to be

262
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 2>a bless your heart thrown out. It's probably going to

263
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.680
<v Speaker 2>be some type of obscenity thrown in your general direction,

264
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>letting you know that straight up, in no uncensored terms,

265
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 2>that they think you are, in fact an idiot. This

266
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>is where we've come. This is the de evolution of

267
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.920
<v Speaker 2>our society. And yes, the Internet played a major calls

268
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.440
<v Speaker 2>in it. A lot of things in pop culture, whether

269
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:37.680
<v Speaker 2>it's these rap artists that want to have these beef

270
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 2>with one another and come up with different disk tracks.

271
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just different videos that you've watched of your

272
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 2>favorite star attacking another star that they've had beef on

273
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a film set. Whatever the case it is, we've adopted

274
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.319
<v Speaker 2>that in our everyday lives. And as we've adopted that

275
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 2>in our everyday lives, it's expanded into our political beliefs

276
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>and persuasions. Again, I'm not saying that we need to

277
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 2>change any one of our beliefs, not the slightest. I'm

278
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>an unapologetic conservative, But at the same time, I can

279
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>sit down. I've got an aunt. She lives in Ganginesville, Florida.

280
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>She has worked for elected Democrats. She is a die

281
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 2>on the whole Democrat, unapologetically so. But me and my

282
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 2>aunt can actually sit down and have civil conversations about politics,

283
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 2>knowing we're not going to agree at the end, but

284
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 2>she values my perspective and I value hers. It's not

285
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>about coming to an agreement. It's always best too that

286
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to eventually win an argument, that you

287
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 2>understand the other side's argument. Even if the other side's

288
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>argument is insane, you need to understand it. This is

289
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 2>a lesson that Chris McDaniel taught me years ago when

290
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 2>we first started the Right Side radio program back in

291
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.119
<v Speaker 2>the old days, when we're on terrestrial radio, we could

292
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>take callers, and we did. We took callers, and wouldn't

293
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 2>you know it, every now and then a liberal would

294
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.839
<v Speaker 2>call in. And when a liberal would call in, Chris

295
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>would have a conversation with them, and I always sat

296
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 2>back and say, why are we giving them time to

297
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 2>give us their point of view? It's just terrible. Their

298
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 2>point of view is garbage. Should we should cut them

299
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>off sooner? Chris disagreed with me on that point under

300
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, he was right because in allowing

301
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 2>them to talk and give their flawed point of view,

302
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Chris then was able to continue the discussion with them

303
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 2>while poking holes in their belief but doing it in

304
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a manner that was not disrespectful. Sure, every now and

305
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 2>then you'd get a lunatic liberal call in and would

306
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 2>just start calling names and do whatever. Those you have

307
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to cut off quickly because they're not there for a

308
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 2>meaningful discussion. They're very much what I've been talking about

309
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 2>for this past twenty four minutes. But Chris always had

310
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a way, and that stuck with me, and it was

311
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>because he had a willingness to listen to their ideas,

312
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to listen to their beliefs, knowing full well he wasn't

313
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.319
<v Speaker 2>going to agree with them, knowing full well that at

314
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day there was a strong possibility

315
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that he and that caller were going to have to

316
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>agree to disagree. But more times than not, what I've

317
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>witnessed sitting across from him in that radio studio, was

318
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Chris be able to reach some of these people, Not all,

319
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>but some of them would honestly say, well, you know,

320
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think of it that way. Will you bring

321
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 2>up some good points? He had that knack. He was

322
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.519
<v Speaker 2>good when it came to the format it talk radio,

323
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>for sure, and it served him well as he went

324
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 2>on to have a career in politics. But the biggest

325
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:55.839
<v Speaker 2>question I guess I have nowadays is if the Right

326
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Side Radio program were a brand new show launching on

327
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Terrest Radio today, Chris McDaniel and I, despite how gifted

328
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Chris is as a listener, despite how gifted he is

329
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 2>as someone who can argue his point, would he find

330
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 2>a civil conversation today? Would his skills still translate in

331
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 2>the day and age of the gotcha SoundBite? I think

332
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.759
<v Speaker 2>we would run in a far more of the name

333
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 2>callers than we did back in the old days. I

334
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.960
<v Speaker 2>think we'd run into for more people unwilling to actually

335
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 2>listen to the point that Chris is trying to make

336
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>after he showed them respect and let them make their point.

337
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I think nowadays when he tried to offer a counterpoint, nowadays,

338
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they try to shout over him. Which that

339
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:57.559
<v Speaker 2>used to crack me up when a caller would call

340
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>in and think they were going to shout over me

341
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like I did and have control of the knob and

342
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>couldn't just turn their microphone down, or if they're really

343
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:13.000
<v Speaker 2>being dilligerent, hit the disconnect button and hang up on them.

344
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 2>It's just again, and we have to be honest with

345
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 2>ourselves when it comes to this lack of civility. It's

346
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:31.039
<v Speaker 2>not just the left. It's not just the left anymore,

347
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>because our side can be just as guilty of it

348
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 2>as their side. I know some of you are mad

349
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 2>that I'll say that, or you're screaming at your radio

350
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>right now, going well, they do it to us, and

351
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>they're nasty. I get it. I get all the excuses

352
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and all the reasons to follow down that path, but

353
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:57.240
<v Speaker 2>ask yourself, what are we winning by going down that path,

354
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>we're not having a free exchange of ideas. Why. I

355
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 2>understand that the left wants to wash out our belief structure.

356
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I understand that the left does not want us to

357
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>be allowed to give our opinion because it might in

358
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 2>some way differ from their own. I get every ounce

359
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of that. I understand that. But at the same time,

360
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 2>two wrongs don't make a right. We sometimes have to

361
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>be willing to listen to their side and then in

362
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>an educated way, poke holes in what they presented us.

363
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 2>And it's not going to be easy nowadays, because again,

364
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:54.599
<v Speaker 2>most don't want to have that conversation with you. Most

365
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 2>want to attack. But when you come across one that

366
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.559
<v Speaker 2>is willing to see down and give you that exchange,

367
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>that will listen point for point, You give a point,

368
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 2>he gives a counterpoint, and y'all keep it respectful. If

369
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>you come across one and then you engage in those

370
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>leftist tactics of just attack, attack, attack, call an idiot,

371
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>do whatever you do, what are you gaining? You just

372
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.000
<v Speaker 2>got another liberal now that thinks that you're not willing

373
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 2>to listen to their point. Again, I can see their

374
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 2>point of view is insane. I have said that a

375
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.880
<v Speaker 2>couple of times now, but we still have to come

376
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:52.359
<v Speaker 2>up with some form of stibility in our country. I'm

377
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:54.799
<v Speaker 2>not talking about civility in the halls of Congress. I

378
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 2>think we're well past time for civility in the halls

379
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:03.559
<v Speaker 2>of Congress because you see how they act. But as

380
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>far as us, John Q. Citizen, we need to have

381
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>more civility. Look. I have seen folks who I know

382
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>are conservative, but they disagree with some one issue one issue,

383
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>and I've seen them attacked for it. I've seen them

384
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 2>called names, Oh, you're just a liberal. They're not. They

385
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.880
<v Speaker 2>disagree with you on one issue, and yet you're willing

386
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.839
<v Speaker 2>to throw them out and cast them off with the

387
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Democrats merely because you don't want to listen, merely because

388
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:44.039
<v Speaker 2>there might be a point that's countered to the point

389
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that you're making, and now it's easier for you to

390
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:54.759
<v Speaker 2>call names and throw them out. This political divide again

391
00:30:54.839 --> 00:31:00.519
<v Speaker 2>between red and blue. I don't think it's going away soon.

392
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I definitely don't believe that we're going to see a

393
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>change in our political culture anytime soon. But what I

394
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 2>do believe is if we can engage, especially with one another,

395
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 2>we can find some commonality. We don't have to be

396
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 2>casting out fellow conservatives merely because they disagree you on

397
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they disagree with you on Trump, maybe they disagree

398
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>with you on this point, that point. It doesn't matter,

399
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 2>case in point. I think renaming the Gulf of Mexico

400
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the Gulf of America is this silly thing and a

401
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>waste of time and a distraction from real issues. But

402
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you there are some people out there that

403
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:56.839
<v Speaker 2>our big proponents of called from America, are mad at

404
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.039
<v Speaker 2>me for saying that out loud, accuse me of just

405
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 2>being a liberal or hating Trump, which couldn't be further

406
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 2>from the truth. But that's the direction, and that's how

407
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.640
<v Speaker 2>far we have de evolved when it comes to being

408
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:19.359
<v Speaker 2>able to discuss politics in a meaningful manner. If we

409
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.519
<v Speaker 2>don't find our way, we don't figure out a way

410
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 2>to get back to where we can actually discuss issues

411
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:32.519
<v Speaker 2>without attacks, we're going to continue to struggle. This nation

412
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.279
<v Speaker 2>will continue down the wrong path if we don't come

413
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:43.920
<v Speaker 2>up with some type of refocus. It's that simple, people.

414
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 2>We're going to pause right here for our first commercial

415
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 2>break of the program. It is something to think about, people,

416
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 2>because again, do we really need to be ending friendships?

417
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Do we really need to be casting out family members

418
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:11.079
<v Speaker 2>because of political disagreements. I don't know about you, but

419
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that we as humans should be better than that,

420
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 2>should strive to be better that. This is the right

421
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Side Radio program. We'll be right back. Hey everyone, this

422

439
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>welcome back here to the right Side Radio program. Goodness, folks,

440
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:42.679
<v Speaker 2>these attacks, these unwillingness to find a common realm with

441
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 2>your average citizen. Again, I'm not talking about a politician.

442
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Politicians can rue the day because again they have helped

443
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 2>create and help shape some of this divide, whether it's

444
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>with their inflammatory attack ads that they run on anyone

445
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:08.199
<v Speaker 2>that runs against them, or their insistence on ignoring their

446
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:13.599
<v Speaker 2>campaign promises when they get elected. And that's something that

447
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:20.559
<v Speaker 2>we have seen all too often, where politicians can hide

448
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:27.880
<v Speaker 2>behind the strength of incumbency. We've seen it throughout history,

449
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:32.400
<v Speaker 2>whether it's nationally or right here in your home state.

450
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Bad politicians get elected, they go to Washington, they go

451
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to Jackson, they go to whatever your state capital is,

452
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and they ignore the very campaign promises that they made

453
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 2>to you. And they did all of this knowing that

454
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:58.320
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have a short term memory. They also

455
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>did all of this knowing that if they get a challenger,

456
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:06.079
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to have the money in order to

457
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 2>compete with them. That all he has to do is

458
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>spend enough money on attack mailers, on attack television spots,

459
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:22.679
<v Speaker 2>whatever he can do to levy an attack against his opponent.

460
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 2>That's what he's going to do. John Q incumbent understands

461
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.800
<v Speaker 2>that this is how he keeps the system in his way,

462
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:38.599
<v Speaker 2>and you, as the voter, you continue to fall for

463
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it because you recognize John Q Incumbent's name and you

464
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 2>understand that John Q incumbent has always been there, so

465
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:54.239
<v Speaker 2>he must be doing something good. But you're ignoring his actions.

466
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.199
<v Speaker 2>You're ignoring how many times he's broken a promise. Now,

467
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.400
<v Speaker 2>sure he can come home to you and he can

468
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 2>come up with excuses and he can throw out, well,

469
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 2>we really wanted to get that done this session, but

470
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 2>we just didn't have the votes. And then you're left

471
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 2>scratching your head, especially in a state like Mississippi where

472
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Republicans control both the House and the Senate. They control

473
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 2>the governor's mansion, the lieutenant governor's office, so how do

474
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:30.039
<v Speaker 2>they not have the votes? They have a overwhelming majority,

475
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:34.360
<v Speaker 2>but they still can't get things like elimination of the

476
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.800
<v Speaker 2>income tax done. These are things they can't get done

477
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and then when you do the research, you understand the

478
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.679
<v Speaker 2>reason that doesn't get done is we have a lieutenant

479
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.199
<v Speaker 2>governor in the state of Mississippi that is truly a

480
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Democrat that just happens have an or biased name and

481
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:56.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want it done. But most people won't take the

482
00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 2>time to do that research. They won't take the time

483
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:06.039
<v Speaker 2>to look into these things and understand there's a reason why.

484
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 2>So when they come home and say that they just

485
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the votes, we fall for it every time,

486
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 2>because again, we don't ask that next question. We're not thinking.

487
00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:24.079
<v Speaker 2>We're not programmed to be critical thinkers anymore, so that

488
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:27.440
<v Speaker 2>next question of why couldn't you get it done? John

489
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Q incumbent, when your party controls everything, why couldn't you

490
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:37.159
<v Speaker 2>get it done? Now, let's look at Washington, John Q

491
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:44.119
<v Speaker 2>incumbent and the United States Senate. When certain pieces of

492
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's agenda get rejected and John Q incumbent comes

493
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>home and he's asked about it, his answer is going

494
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to be predictably, well, we just didn't have the votes

495
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 2>to reach that threshold that we needed. They're going to

496
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:10.119
<v Speaker 2>hide behind the parliamentary rules that regard the filibuster, a

497
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:14.280
<v Speaker 2>rule that could have been changed, a rule that they

498
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:18.400
<v Speaker 2>could at any time move away from, but they don't

499
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:23.960
<v Speaker 2>want to because they understand it gives them political cover

500
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:29.239
<v Speaker 2>from things they don't want to enact. If you don't

501
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.960
<v Speaker 2>have enough votes to move it forward, it is what

502
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.320
<v Speaker 2>it is, and you, who may be against it might

503
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 2>even be able to hide behind that without ever having

504
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:41.920
<v Speaker 2>to take a vote. So therefore, when you come home

505
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:46.000
<v Speaker 2>to your constituents and they start asking you questions about it,

506
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>you can just look them straight in the eye and say, well,

507
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.760
<v Speaker 2>we tried, we just didn't have the votes. Despite the

508
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>fact that your party is control of the Senate, despite

509
00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the fact that your party's in control of the House,

510
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.320
<v Speaker 2>control of the White House. These are the excuses that

511
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.800
<v Speaker 2>they throw out time and time again, and while we're

512
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 2>sitting down eating each other alive, because this person disagrees

513
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 2>with you on this issue, even though more than not

514
00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:23.519
<v Speaker 2>your lockstep together on ninety nine point nine percent of

515
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:28.679
<v Speaker 2>the issues. But you only want to focus on the

516
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:34.519
<v Speaker 2>issue that he disagrees with you on because that proves

517
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.559
<v Speaker 2>he's not a true conservative, That proves he's not rock

518
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:42.039
<v Speaker 2>solid red like you are. When he might have a

519
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.599
<v Speaker 2>principled reason for why he doesn't agree with you on that,

520
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that you won't take the time to

521
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 2>listen to it. That means when he comes pushing a

522
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.480
<v Speaker 2>candidate running against John Q incumbent, you're going to go

523
00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:01.800
<v Speaker 2>side with John qancumbt despite all of his deficiencies, despite

524
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:05.599
<v Speaker 2>everything that John Q incumbent has laid out for you,

525
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.280
<v Speaker 2>everything that he has shown you of how poor of

526
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:13.239
<v Speaker 2>a politician, how poor of a representative, how poor of

527
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:20.159
<v Speaker 2>an employee he's been for you and your area. Because

528
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:25.760
<v Speaker 2>you're your neighbor, Martin, he doesn't agree with you on

529
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 2>this particular issue. So if he's wrong on that, he's

530
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.719
<v Speaker 2>not a true Conservatives. Therefore, since he's not a true

531
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 2>conservative and he's pushing the challenger, well I've got to

532
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:46.679
<v Speaker 2>stay with John Q incumbent because Martins Martin's a bad guy,

533
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:55.199
<v Speaker 2>which means as candidate challenger is a bad guy too. Again,

534
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm laying out how all this division again, I get

535
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the right and the left division, and I spoke in

536
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the first half about how we shouldn't allow it to

537
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:10.800
<v Speaker 2>divide families. Now I'm talking about these smaller divisions because again,

538
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it all plays in together, it all interlocks I'm not

539
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:21.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about major policy points that are a problem, because

540
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:25.599
<v Speaker 2>trust me, there are some major policy points that I

541
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:27.760
<v Speaker 2>have issue with with the Republican Party. It's part of

542
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:31.199
<v Speaker 2>the reason why I don't associate myself with the Republican

543
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Party anymore. Do I vote Republican more times than not,

544
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's just because their candidate is the better candidate.

545
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:44.719
<v Speaker 2>But I am an active participant within the Republican Party.

546
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Now will I be one again one day? I can't

547
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.760
<v Speaker 2>answer that, honestly. At this time, I honestly don't know.

548
00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:00.679
<v Speaker 2>But they'll use these things. They'll utilize these to protect

549
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:07.480
<v Speaker 2>bad politicians, politicians that want to expand Obamacare, which again

550
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.960
<v Speaker 2>that's truly not a conservative point of view, but they're

551
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 2>going to defend it, and they're going to defend it

552
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 2>against the challenger because John Q incumbent told them that, well,

553
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:26.519
<v Speaker 2>we need to do this for this and because you

554
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:32.760
<v Speaker 2>disagreed with Martin on one point. Now you're going to

555
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:38.599
<v Speaker 2>have to accept Obamacare expansion. You're going to have to

556
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 2>accept that these state income tax is not going anywhere.

557
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:47.840
<v Speaker 2>These are issues that you helped create yourself because you

558
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 2>decided to follow down this path instead of focusing on

559
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:57.079
<v Speaker 2>the numerous areas that you agree with your neighbor. Because

560
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:00.480
<v Speaker 2>you harped on the one thing that you didn't, you

561
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>now are stuck with John Qan combent because you can't

562
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:08.840
<v Speaker 2>listen to him on the Challenger. You can't accept that

563
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:14.719
<v Speaker 2>he might be right on the Challenger. This is where

564
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:16.519
<v Speaker 2>we are in this country, and this is part of

565
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we are struggling to get anything done,

566
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.719
<v Speaker 2>to change anything, because we can't come up with a

567
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>way to communicate even within ourselves. We can't find a

568
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:34.719
<v Speaker 2>common place to have that discussion, that civility with our

569
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:40.280
<v Speaker 2>neighbors about key conservative points. And until we figure this out,

570
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 2>we're going to continue down this dangerous path. This is

571
00:45:45.800 --> 00:46:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the right Side Radio Program. We'll be right back. The

578
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.079
<v Speaker 2>back here to the right Side Radio Program. Here we

579
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.440
<v Speaker 2>are in the home stretch the radio show, the final

580
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:49.679
<v Speaker 2>segment of the program. Today, folks, we're talking about this division.

581
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:54.840
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about how can we figure out some common ground,

582
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:57.800
<v Speaker 2>whether it's with your family in a right left situation

583
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:03.159
<v Speaker 2>or those of us who are truly conservative and truly

584
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:08.119
<v Speaker 2>want to see real substantive change made, not just within

585
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the country, within our party, within our state. Get us

586
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.599
<v Speaker 2>to the points where we can salvage things for this

587
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:21.639
<v Speaker 2>country the way that we need to. How do we

588
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:28.559
<v Speaker 2>get there? How do we achieve that? I don't have

589
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:33.480
<v Speaker 2>a definitive answer other than dial back some of your rhetoric.

590
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't be so quick to jump to the name calling.

591
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Don't be so quick to just attack. It is so important.

592
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I had a friend a few years ago. He wanted

593
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:56.760
<v Speaker 2>to start for all the right reasons too. Nothing about

594
00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a vanity project here, but he wanted to start a

595
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:05.760
<v Speaker 2>conservative action group. He wanted to figure out a way

596
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to make substitutive change within our community. He wanted to

597
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:18.800
<v Speaker 2>try to figure out a way to hold politicians accountable.

598
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And his vision, his dream was to start something locally

599
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and expand it and work with other groups throughout the

600
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:34.760
<v Speaker 2>state and come up with a way to have a

601
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:44.559
<v Speaker 2>statewide networking group, a very honorable, noble cause. And I

602
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:46.599
<v Speaker 2>remember when he first I told him why it wasn't

603
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:50.880
<v Speaker 2>going to work, and I hated to be that guy,

604
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.039
<v Speaker 2>but I told him, I said, look, I love this

605
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and I want to be proven wrong. I want to

606
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:56.719
<v Speaker 2>see it work. But the problem that you're going to

607
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:00.559
<v Speaker 2>run into with these other groups and organized as that

608
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.480
<v Speaker 2>have already gotten off the ground is they're going to

609
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:09.199
<v Speaker 2>be extremely territorial. They're not gonna want to seed any

610
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:14.119
<v Speaker 2>ground you because you're the Johnny come Lately, which is

611
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.360
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous thought process, because again, if we truly want to

612
00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:21.960
<v Speaker 2>encourage everyone to get involved, we should encourage them to

613
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:27.159
<v Speaker 2>get involved. That's the reason why if I have someone

614
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:28.920
<v Speaker 2>reach out to me saying that they want to start

615
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:33.559
<v Speaker 2>their own podcast, their own show, I'm willing to sit

616
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:36.840
<v Speaker 2>down and talk with them and give them advice and

617
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 2>walk them through every step because I understand what we're

618
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:47.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to achieve is bigger than me, and I hope

619
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it outlasts me. I hope that the things that we're

620
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:53.599
<v Speaker 2>fighting for, the things that we're trying to invoke change on,

621
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:58.519
<v Speaker 2>will be enacted and we'll still be fighting for the

622
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:04.639
<v Speaker 2>things we haven't gotten long after I'm gone. But that's

623
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:08.960
<v Speaker 2>not the way a lot of these groups and organizations are.

624
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:14.280
<v Speaker 2>For a lot of these people, it's more about the power.

625
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.440
<v Speaker 2>It's more about the prestige than it is about the movement,

626
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:24.079
<v Speaker 2>than it is about getting things done. They would rather

627
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:32.159
<v Speaker 2>have a group an organization that does little to nothing,

628
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.360
<v Speaker 2>but they get to hold the title, the top billing

629
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:43.960
<v Speaker 2>in that group and in that organization. They would rather

630
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:53.199
<v Speaker 2>have that be what they put forth than actually ceding

631
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of that power to work with the newcomer,

632
00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to work with people that are trying to come on

633
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:04.159
<v Speaker 2>the scenes and come up with a way to create

634
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:10.559
<v Speaker 2>a network where we can all come together. That's always

635
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:14.599
<v Speaker 2>been sad to me. That's always been sad to me,

636
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:21.039
<v Speaker 2>because again, this is another part of the division, because again,

637
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.960
<v Speaker 2>if you have organizations like conservative coalitions or tea party

638
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:36.280
<v Speaker 2>group or conservative action groups, whatever they call themselves, they

639
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.840
<v Speaker 2>should all want to try to get together for the

640
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:48.960
<v Speaker 2>common goal. But instead it turns into everyone's own little kingdoms.

641
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:56.039
<v Speaker 2>It turns into this manifestation of well, this is my group,

642
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:59.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what you say with your group. We're

643
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:03.119
<v Speaker 2>going to do our own and that's Look, that's fine,

644
00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:07.280
<v Speaker 2>but if you're doing it at the detriment of creating

645
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:12.719
<v Speaker 2>that network, and you look back, had passed elections, and

646
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:16.440
<v Speaker 2>you go to yourself, why did we lose so solidly?

647
00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Why couldn't we figure out a way to We had

648
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the best candidate we were ever going to have and

649
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:30.079
<v Speaker 2>we still lost. How did that happen? What happened because

650
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:36.760
<v Speaker 2>you created too much division within your groups and organizations. Yeah,

651
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:40.519
<v Speaker 2>you got an organization off the ground. Yeah you got

652
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:46.400
<v Speaker 2>people to show up to your meetings, but because of

653
00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:51.280
<v Speaker 2>all the infighting in the division, you weren't able to

654
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:57.760
<v Speaker 2>keep them. You weren't able to reach places outside of

655
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 2>your own area or outside of your own bubble boo,

656
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:04.880
<v Speaker 2>because again, you were not too interested in figuring out

657
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:11.079
<v Speaker 2>a way to expand you were focused solely on your

658
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:14.800
<v Speaker 2>own little kingdom. And because that focus on your own

659
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:20.920
<v Speaker 2>little kingdom, you have other people in other areas now

660
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:26.719
<v Speaker 2>that want to attack you and discredit you. To the

661
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.159
<v Speaker 2>credit of the friend of mine that started his own group,

662
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:35.079
<v Speaker 2>he never was like that. Didn't see that from him. Now.

663
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.559
<v Speaker 2>He might have been crotchety and a little too hard

664
00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:41.840
<v Speaker 2>headed for some to deal with, But I honestly can

665
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:48.480
<v Speaker 2>say he wasn't in it for his own purposes. He

666
00:54:48.599 --> 00:54:56.280
<v Speaker 2>wasn't starting something to create his own vanity project. Last

667
00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:59.760
<v Speaker 2>week I mentioned that I have a friend that's considering

668
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:07.880
<v Speaker 2>running for mayor of my old hometown and in conversations

669
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I have strongly encouraged this person to make a go

670
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:18.119
<v Speaker 2>for it. And in these conversations I found out that

671
00:55:18.119 --> 00:55:22.679
<v Speaker 2>there are various folks that should be within the groups

672
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:27.159
<v Speaker 2>that would want to support them, but instead of showing

673
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the support for them, instead of showing the support because

674
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they understand that the current mayor is a problem, that

675
00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the city is sinking fast, and if they don't figure

676
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:42.960
<v Speaker 2>out a way to change it, they just want to discourage.

677
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:47.719
<v Speaker 2>They want to backbite because again, my friend is not

678
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:53.880
<v Speaker 2>their chosen path. And after having this conversation, my advice

679
00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:56.519
<v Speaker 2>was go for it, because they wouldn't be making these

680
00:55:56.599 --> 00:56:01.440
<v Speaker 2>calls if they didn't view you as a threat.

681
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Go for it.

682
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:09.079
<v Speaker 2>See what happens rock the system. Is it going to

683
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:12.760
<v Speaker 2>be easy. No, because this person will be running against

684
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:18.440
<v Speaker 2>John Q, incumbent. It's going to be an uphill battle.

685
00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:22.920
<v Speaker 2>But again, we have to be brave, we have to

686
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:25.840
<v Speaker 2>be willing to walk into battle. We have to be

687
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:31.039
<v Speaker 2>willing to stand up for the things that we believe in,

688
00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and we have to be willing to have civil conversations

689
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:40.679
<v Speaker 2>with people that we don't think we agree with, Because

690
00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:44.599
<v Speaker 2>until we're willing to do that, especially with the people

691
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:48.639
<v Speaker 2>within our own circles that we have created our own

692
00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:52.360
<v Speaker 2>division with, we're not going to be able to attack

693
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.039
<v Speaker 2>the other side. We're not going to be able to

694
00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:56.400
<v Speaker 2>take down the Left, We're not going to be able

695
00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:00.639
<v Speaker 2>to take down the Republican establishment, whoever it is. As

696
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:05.199
<v Speaker 2>long as there's that much backbiting and division amongst our

697
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:09.719
<v Speaker 2>own selves, how are we ever going to advance anything?

698
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:12.400
<v Speaker 2>How are we ever going to get to that point

699
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:17.480
<v Speaker 2>where we're going to be successful. We can't be We

700
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:25.559
<v Speaker 2>can't be successful if all we ever do is backbite.

701
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I think we can get there, people, I truly do.

702
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe that if we put forth the effort, if

703
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:42.280
<v Speaker 2>we put forth the work, we can truly change things

704
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.440
<v Speaker 2>in this country for the better. I think if we

705
00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:55.320
<v Speaker 2>truly fight for everything that we believe in that we

706
00:57:55.920 --> 00:58:02.440
<v Speaker 2>hold dear, do so in a manner in which we

707
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:07.159
<v Speaker 2>can explain to people while we are on this side

708
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:12.960
<v Speaker 2>without resorting to the name calling, without getting too territorial

709
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:19.840
<v Speaker 2>over the precious group that we created, without kicking family

710
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:24.400
<v Speaker 2>members to the curb. Maybe then we can figure out

711
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.480
<v Speaker 2>a way to truly save this country. The election of

712
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Donald J. Trump is a good thing. It will move

713
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:36.360
<v Speaker 2>things in the right direction without a doubt, but it's

714
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:40.800
<v Speaker 2>not the only thing. There is so much more that

715
00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:44.519
<v Speaker 2>we have to achieve in so little time to be

716
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:47.880
<v Speaker 2>able to achieve it. If you believe Donald Trump can

717
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:53.840
<v Speaker 2>do everything by himself, then well I'm sorry, but you

718
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 2>are wrong, and you're going to be one of the

719
00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:01.519
<v Speaker 2>very ones sitting there when things don't go our way,

720
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:05.920
<v Speaker 2>questioning why that happened. Maybe you'll even blame Trump for

721
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:09.159
<v Speaker 2>not getting it done, when the reality is you failed

722
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:15.960
<v Speaker 2>him by not engaging the system and holding bad politicians accountable,

723
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:19.920
<v Speaker 2>all because you let a petty grudge with your neighbor

724
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:24.679
<v Speaker 2>keep you from backing his candidate. You stuck with John Q, incumbent,

725
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:29.760
<v Speaker 2>and now you're wondering why nothing changed, why nothing improved.

726
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:34.559
<v Speaker 2>You could have taken your group, You could have joined

727
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:38.760
<v Speaker 2>up with groups in other towns and communities and created

728
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:44.159
<v Speaker 2>a network throughout the state that could have potentially moved

729
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the needle in the right direction. But instead you were

730
00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:51.599
<v Speaker 2>worried that if you did that, you might lose power

731
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:56.400
<v Speaker 2>of your own little kingdom, so you resisted forming that coalition.

732
00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And by resisting forming that coalition, you ensured that the

733
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>challenger won't drum up the support that he needs. Folks,

734
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>we just have to figure out a way to not

735
01:00:17.360 --> 01:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>let the petty little differences be what drives us apart.

736
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:30.760
<v Speaker 2>If you believe in red versus blue, and you believe

737
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>that blue is insane, then you should be willing to

738
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>do whatever it takes to work with your fellow conservatives

739
01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>despite whatever differences or disagreements shall might be able to

740
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>come across. You might find a way to change everything

741
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>if you can just put that stuff aside for a minute,

742
01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>if you can just move past some of that nonsense

743
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and move towards a path in which we figure out

744
01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>a way to find those core tenants, those core principles

745
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that we want hundred percent agree on, and we move forward.

746
01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's three, maybe it's four, but find those core tenants,

747
01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>find those core principles, focus on those, work together to

748
01:01:26.360 --> 01:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>achieve those goals, and let the other stuff that you

749
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>disagree on. You can fight that battle another day, but

750
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:37.119
<v Speaker 2>all too often we get so wrapped up in the

751
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:41.559
<v Speaker 2>single issue that we're not willing to work with the

752
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:45.159
<v Speaker 2>person who could probably help us achieve the goals that

753
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>we want to achieve. And that's sad to me. That's

754
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:55.559
<v Speaker 2>where this division, this me mentality culture is all coming from,

755
01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and until we get past it, we're not going to

756
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>be very successful. Guys. This has been the right Side
