Speaker 2: of course, if you listen to Morning Coffee or if
Speaker 2: you just follow the news. The southern part of the
Speaker 2: United States, the areas that normally don't get hit with
Speaker 2: any snow, got hit with a massive snowstorm. Now, those
Speaker 2: of us in Jones County, Mississippi, we did not really
Speaker 2: see true accumulation. We saw some snow flurries, but it
Speaker 2: did not give us anything but better cold. But twenty
Speaker 2: minutes down the road in Hattiesburg they got a nice
Speaker 2: little path of snow, and all the way down to
Speaker 2: New Orleans they got eight to ten inches of snow.
Speaker 2: So it was insane the last couple of days. With that,
Speaker 2: it's retavoc on scheduling of things and whatnot. So Chris
Speaker 2: McDaniels America. We're hoping that it will be recorded tomorrow
Speaker 2: and that's our target. But of course I've not heard
Speaker 2: back from the production crew yet, so they were further south,
Speaker 2: which is as crazy as it sounds. They were a
Speaker 2: part of the area that was more affected by the
Speaker 2: winter storm. I believe they should be able to get
Speaker 2: out and travel a little bit tomorrow, but we shall see,
Speaker 2: because we are not one hundred percent sure at the
Speaker 2: moment of what's going to go on with that. But
Speaker 2: right now, that's the current plan. Chris McDaniels America. The
Speaker 2: newest episode record tomorrow and have a mass released Friday morning.
Speaker 2: Sometimes on the lookout for episode thirty nine of Chris
Speaker 2: McDaniels America. Now, what do I want to talk about
Speaker 2: to start off this show. Well, of course, we know
Speaker 2: this week saw the return of Donald Trump as the
Speaker 2: President of the United States. We've already seen Donald Trump
Speaker 2: going in and in acting several executive orders, undoing several
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's executive orders. Emay that knows me knows.
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge fan of executive orders. I want
Speaker 2: to see things done through the proper processes. But in
Speaker 2: several instances, these type of executive orders that are undoing
Speaker 2: previous executive orders, I'm fine with that. It's when you
Speaker 2: start bypassing Congress completely. That's that's when I start to
Speaker 2: have a problem with it. We'll see in the next
Speaker 2: couple of days what more comes out. But one of
Speaker 2: the things I really wanted to talk about tonight because
Speaker 2: it's kind of one of those issues that has bothered
Speaker 2: me a little bit. This nation, as we know, is
Speaker 2: completely divided. Half of us are on Red Team, half
Speaker 2: of us are on Blue Team. Now, I don't have
Speaker 2: to rehash how I feel about Red Team and Blue Team.
Speaker 2: That's something you can go back and listen to in
Speaker 2: previous episodes. But what I do want to talk about
Speaker 2: is how we're allowing this divide to further split us,
Speaker 2: potentially ruining relationships. I get it, you view the other
Speaker 2: side as crazy and they view you as crazy. But
Speaker 2: we've always had political division in this country. It's always existed,
Speaker 2: But now it's almost as if the battle lines are
Speaker 2: drawn so far, so severe, that we're willing to cut
Speaker 2: ties with family members because they disagree with us on
Speaker 2: certain issues, or because I vote Republican and they vote Democrat.
Speaker 2: I found a story just why I was doing show
Speaker 2: prep today. It's on Fox News. You can go find
Speaker 2: it yourself. The headline is liberal parents struggle with Trump
Speaker 2: voting son, New York Times reports, and again the story
Speaker 2: talks about how liberal parents are now the ones clashing
Speaker 2: with their conservative sons after the election. According to a
Speaker 2: New York Times article published on Sunday, it says when
Speaker 2: Eli brought a Make America Great Again hat home from
Speaker 2: college this summer, his parents threw it into the corner
Speaker 2: of his bedroom. They argued about guns, immigration, and abortion,
Speaker 2: struggling to do so without permanently damaging their relationship. It continued,
Speaker 2: facts don't matter to you. Again, they and that goes
Speaker 2: back to one of the major problems here, this whole
Speaker 2: argument that the left loves to well, facts don't matter
Speaker 2: to you. They for a long time, throughout the fact
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump was facing these prosecutions, that that somehow
Speaker 2: justified their stance, that he was a terrible person, that
Speaker 2: he was a criminal, even though if they want to
Speaker 2: talk about how facts don't matter to you, they ignore
Speaker 2: the fact that several of these things should have been
Speaker 2: misdemeanors and never gone to the level that it went,
Speaker 2: and that it was completely politicized. But they don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. They don't want to get into
Speaker 2: those issues, because again, that doesn't make them feel good,
Speaker 2: it doesn't strengthen their argument this issue. Again, for a
Speaker 2: long time, there were a lot of conservative parents dealing
Speaker 2: with their children who came home from college after being
Speaker 2: indoctrinated by radical liberal professors. The difference there is why
Speaker 2: the conservative parents would argue against their beliefs. They still
Speaker 2: showed love for their child. In the readings of some
Speaker 2: of these articles and some of these things that I've
Speaker 2: come across from those on the left, They're willing to
Speaker 2: completely disassociate with their own children merely because of a
Speaker 2: political disagreement. I don't understand that. Again, I don't have
Speaker 2: any children on my own, but I have witnessed my
Speaker 2: own parents. I have witnessed friends of mine with kids.
Speaker 2: I even have my own nieces, I have step niece
Speaker 2: and step nephew. I have adopted two nephews and my
Speaker 2: good friend Chris McDaniel's two sons. Why it's not the
Speaker 2: same as a parental love. I understand that I do
Speaker 2: have some understanding of what it's like to love someone unconditionally,
Speaker 2: but I also have been able to witness these friends
Speaker 2: with kids and witness what they go through. The struggle
Speaker 2: when their children are maybe acting out or being disrespectful,
Speaker 2: not because they're not good kids, but because again, once
Speaker 2: you hit that teenage years, those hormones tend to help
Speaker 2: you make some bad decisions at times. But the one
Speaker 2: thing that always remains true no matter what is I
Speaker 2: know there's nothing those kids could ever do that would
Speaker 2: break that love that their parents have for them. But
Speaker 2: in some of these articles, some of the stuff that
Speaker 2: I'm reading, I'm not quite sure that the left views
Speaker 2: that parental loved the same way that we do. I
Speaker 2: can think back to times in my life where friends
Speaker 2: went off to college, came back with more liberal beliefs
Speaker 2: and they're more conservative upbringing their parents. When they came home.
Speaker 2: They didn't miss try to challenge every belief that they had.
Speaker 2: They maybe would say, well, that's interesting and maybe in
Speaker 2: time they could have it. But they understood when something's
Speaker 2: new to a child, when he comes home with something new,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna win by trying to poke holes in
Speaker 2: it right away. But they also understood too that it's
Speaker 2: okay to disagree, is okay to be on other sides
Speaker 2: of the fence. Now have we gone so far extreme
Speaker 2: when it comes to the polittle equations, to these political
Speaker 2: arguments that we can't have civil discussions. The answer to
Speaker 2: that in many cases is yes. Just go on the
Speaker 2: internet and you'll see firsthand how uncivil the conversations are.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to have that gotcha moment, that one up moment.
Speaker 2: Even though that we have this on the internet, it
Speaker 2: has now transferred itself into real life. The meme culture,
Speaker 2: if you want to call it, that, where everything needs
Speaker 2: to be quick, concise, and witty, where you're always trying
Speaker 2: to get that one shot at the person that you
Speaker 2: disagree with. Look, I'm not gonna say I'm not guilty
Speaker 2: of it. I'm a talk radio show host. Of course
Speaker 2: I take shots at people. It's part of what I do.
Speaker 2: But would I do that with my own child. No,
Speaker 2: there would come a point in time where we'd have
Speaker 2: rational conversation. But I can tell you one of the
Speaker 2: things that I would not do, no matter even if
Speaker 2: I thought it, I would not instantly throw in their
Speaker 2: face how wrong they are, because you're not going to
Speaker 2: win an argument that way. You cannot win an argument,
Speaker 2: especially with young person, by just instantly going to that
Speaker 2: this is why you're wrong card, that's going to shut
Speaker 2: him down instantly. But back to this point, when you
Speaker 2: look at this stuff and you see some of the
Speaker 2: things that are being set online, some of the discussions,
Speaker 2: some of the discourse, it's crazy Carrie Underwood, country music singer.
Speaker 2: She performed at Trump's inauguration. The liberal elite in that
Speaker 2: Hollywood class that she's a part of, or attacking her.
Speaker 2: They're attacking her because she associated with Donald Trump. There
Speaker 2: was a time in this country not long ago, that
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have mattered who was elected the president of
Speaker 2: the United States. It would have been the honor of
Speaker 2: your life to be invited to perform at that event.
Speaker 2: But now because she accepted such an honor, she's a
Speaker 2: bad person. Oh, she's a Trump person. She's terrible. Look,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you. I have no clue
Speaker 2: what Carrie Underwood's politics are about. I really don't don't care.
Speaker 2: But seeing this division and seeing the attacks that have
Speaker 2: been lobbied at her, that have been thrown at her
Speaker 2: merely because she wanted to show up and perform at
Speaker 2: Trump's inauguration. She was invited. It's the president of the
Speaker 2: United States, It's the honor of a lifetime. If you're
Speaker 2: a performer, these are the type of events that you
Speaker 2: probably hope for, you dream of. She's supposed to turn
Speaker 2: it down just because you don't like the person that one.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a you problem, not a her problem.
Speaker 2: These are the type things that we're continuing to see,
Speaker 2: this true, true divide. And as we witness this divide,
Speaker 2: the next question, the next big thing that we have
Speaker 2: to have a discussion about, that we have to have
Speaker 2: a frank conversation about, is can we ever come back
Speaker 2: from this? Are we so far divided? Are we so
Speaker 2: far gone now that there's no hope of us ever
Speaker 2: finding any common ground. I'm not talking about when it
Speaker 2: comes to policy. I'm not talking about giving up your ground,
Speaker 2: because as you know, I'm not a big fan of
Speaker 2: giving in to compromise, especially when the track record is
Speaker 2: that conservatives lose every time we cut a compromise, every
Speaker 2: time we reach across the aisle, we lose. But I'm
Speaker 2: talking about everyday people, everyday society. There are so many
Speaker 2: things that we can focus on that we can find
Speaker 2: that commonality, that we can find that common ground on.
Speaker 2: There are so many aspects of our lives that if
Speaker 2: we reach out to someone that has a different political
Speaker 2: view on it, we can find some commonality. Sometimes it
Speaker 2: might be through our faith. Sometimes it might be to
Speaker 2: our jobs, to our love of our favorite sports team,
Speaker 2: whatever it is. There are areas where we can find
Speaker 2: a commonality with one another in society. There are areas
Speaker 2: where we can pick out an opportunity to have a
Speaker 2: civil discussion. But all too often we'd rather go to
Speaker 2: that me mentality where we want to come up with
Speaker 2: a quick sound bite. Even though we're not on television,
Speaker 2: we're not on the radio, we're not the ones that
Speaker 2: you're seeing front and center, but we still crave that attention.
Speaker 2: We still crave that idea, so we won't that viral moment.
Speaker 2: Even if that viral moment is only amongst our peers,
Speaker 2: we still crave it, we still want it. It's something
Speaker 2: that we believe will entertain others. So instead of trying
Speaker 2: to focus on our commonality, instead of trying to focus
Speaker 2: on the issues that could probably unite us and bring
Speaker 2: us together, we double down on just being mean and
Speaker 2: nasty to one another. All too often, it's so much
Speaker 2: easier for us to come up with the snide remark
Speaker 2: than it is to come up with a good natured response.
Speaker 2: There's a saying in the South. You've probably heard it
Speaker 2: a time or two. If a little old lady looks
Speaker 2: at you and she tells you bless your heart, she's
Speaker 2: not truly blessing your heart. She's letting you know she
Speaker 2: thinks you're an idiot. But she's doing it in a
Speaker 2: kind manner. And most of us in the South know
Speaker 2: when we hear that uttered, it's time to move home,
Speaker 2: because she's trying to be respectful. Now, if you flip
Speaker 2: that on its script, you fast forward to today's times
Speaker 2: and you have someone younger, it's not going to be
Speaker 2: a bless your heart thrown out. It's probably going to
Speaker 2: be some type of obscenity thrown in your general direction,
Speaker 2: letting you know that straight up, in no uncensored terms,
Speaker 2: that they think you are, in fact an idiot. This
Speaker 2: is where we've come. This is the de evolution of
Speaker 2: our society. And yes, the Internet played a major calls
Speaker 2: in it. A lot of things in pop culture, whether
Speaker 2: it's these rap artists that want to have these beef
Speaker 2: with one another and come up with different disk tracks.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just different videos that you've watched of your
Speaker 2: favorite star attacking another star that they've had beef on
Speaker 2: a film set. Whatever the case it is, we've adopted
Speaker 2: that in our everyday lives. And as we've adopted that
Speaker 2: in our everyday lives, it's expanded into our political beliefs
Speaker 2: and persuasions. Again, I'm not saying that we need to
Speaker 2: change any one of our beliefs, not the slightest. I'm
Speaker 2: an unapologetic conservative, But at the same time, I can
Speaker 2: sit down. I've got an aunt. She lives in Ganginesville, Florida.
Speaker 2: She has worked for elected Democrats. She is a die
Speaker 2: on the whole Democrat, unapologetically so. But me and my
Speaker 2: aunt can actually sit down and have civil conversations about politics,
Speaker 2: knowing we're not going to agree at the end, but
Speaker 2: she values my perspective and I value hers. It's not
Speaker 2: about coming to an agreement. It's always best too that
Speaker 2: if you're going to eventually win an argument, that you
Speaker 2: understand the other side's argument. Even if the other side's
Speaker 2: argument is insane, you need to understand it. This is
Speaker 2: a lesson that Chris McDaniel taught me years ago when
Speaker 2: we first started the Right Side radio program back in
Speaker 2: the old days, when we're on terrestrial radio, we could
Speaker 2: take callers, and we did. We took callers, and wouldn't
Speaker 2: you know it, every now and then a liberal would
Speaker 2: call in. And when a liberal would call in, Chris
Speaker 2: would have a conversation with them, and I always sat
Speaker 2: back and say, why are we giving them time to
Speaker 2: give us their point of view? It's just terrible. Their
Speaker 2: point of view is garbage. Should we should cut them
Speaker 2: off sooner? Chris disagreed with me on that point under
Speaker 2: and you know what, he was right because in allowing
Speaker 2: them to talk and give their flawed point of view,
Speaker 2: Chris then was able to continue the discussion with them
Speaker 2: while poking holes in their belief but doing it in
Speaker 2: a manner that was not disrespectful. Sure, every now and
Speaker 2: then you'd get a lunatic liberal call in and would
Speaker 2: just start calling names and do whatever. Those you have
Speaker 2: to cut off quickly because they're not there for a
Speaker 2: meaningful discussion. They're very much what I've been talking about
Speaker 2: for this past twenty four minutes. But Chris always had
Speaker 2: a way, and that stuck with me, and it was
Speaker 2: because he had a willingness to listen to their ideas,
Speaker 2: to listen to their beliefs, knowing full well he wasn't
Speaker 2: going to agree with them, knowing full well that at
Speaker 2: the end of the day there was a strong possibility
Speaker 2: that he and that caller were going to have to
Speaker 2: agree to disagree. But more times than not, what I've
Speaker 2: witnessed sitting across from him in that radio studio, was
Speaker 2: Chris be able to reach some of these people, Not all,
Speaker 2: but some of them would honestly say, well, you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't think of it that way. Will you bring
Speaker 2: up some good points? He had that knack. He was
Speaker 2: good when it came to the format it talk radio,
Speaker 2: for sure, and it served him well as he went
Speaker 2: on to have a career in politics. But the biggest
Speaker 2: question I guess I have nowadays is if the Right
Speaker 2: Side Radio program were a brand new show launching on
Speaker 2: Terrest Radio today, Chris McDaniel and I, despite how gifted
Speaker 2: Chris is as a listener, despite how gifted he is
Speaker 2: as someone who can argue his point, would he find
Speaker 2: a civil conversation today? Would his skills still translate in
Speaker 2: the day and age of the gotcha SoundBite? I think
Speaker 2: we would run in a far more of the name
Speaker 2: callers than we did back in the old days. I
Speaker 2: think we'd run into for more people unwilling to actually
Speaker 2: listen to the point that Chris is trying to make
Speaker 2: after he showed them respect and let them make their point.
Speaker 2: I think nowadays when he tried to offer a counterpoint, nowadays,
Speaker 2: I think they try to shout over him. Which that
Speaker 2: used to crack me up when a caller would call
Speaker 2: in and think they were going to shout over me
Speaker 2: like I did and have control of the knob and
Speaker 2: couldn't just turn their microphone down, or if they're really
Speaker 2: being dilligerent, hit the disconnect button and hang up on them.
Speaker 2: It's just again, and we have to be honest with
Speaker 2: ourselves when it comes to this lack of civility. It's
Speaker 2: not just the left. It's not just the left anymore,
Speaker 2: because our side can be just as guilty of it
Speaker 2: as their side. I know some of you are mad
Speaker 2: that I'll say that, or you're screaming at your radio
Speaker 2: right now, going well, they do it to us, and
Speaker 2: they're nasty. I get it. I get all the excuses
Speaker 2: and all the reasons to follow down that path, but
Speaker 2: ask yourself, what are we winning by going down that path,
Speaker 2: we're not having a free exchange of ideas. Why. I
Speaker 2: understand that the left wants to wash out our belief structure.
Speaker 2: I understand that the left does not want us to
Speaker 2: be allowed to give our opinion because it might in
Speaker 2: some way differ from their own. I get every ounce
Speaker 2: of that. I understand that. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: two wrongs don't make a right. We sometimes have to
Speaker 2: be willing to listen to their side and then in
Speaker 2: an educated way, poke holes in what they presented us.
Speaker 2: And it's not going to be easy nowadays, because again,
Speaker 2: most don't want to have that conversation with you. Most
Speaker 2: want to attack. But when you come across one that
Speaker 2: is willing to see down and give you that exchange,
Speaker 2: that will listen point for point, You give a point,
Speaker 2: he gives a counterpoint, and y'all keep it respectful. If
Speaker 2: you come across one and then you engage in those
Speaker 2: leftist tactics of just attack, attack, attack, call an idiot,
Speaker 2: do whatever you do, what are you gaining? You just
Speaker 2: got another liberal now that thinks that you're not willing
Speaker 2: to listen to their point. Again, I can see their
Speaker 2: point of view is insane. I have said that a
Speaker 2: couple of times now, but we still have to come
Speaker 2: up with some form of stibility in our country. I'm
Speaker 2: not talking about civility in the halls of Congress. I
Speaker 2: think we're well past time for civility in the halls
Speaker 2: of Congress because you see how they act. But as
Speaker 2: far as us, John Q. Citizen, we need to have
Speaker 2: more civility. Look. I have seen folks who I know
Speaker 2: are conservative, but they disagree with some one issue one issue,
Speaker 2: and I've seen them attacked for it. I've seen them
Speaker 2: called names, Oh, you're just a liberal. They're not. They
Speaker 2: disagree with you on one issue, and yet you're willing
Speaker 2: to throw them out and cast them off with the
Speaker 2: Democrats merely because you don't want to listen, merely because
Speaker 2: there might be a point that's countered to the point
Speaker 2: that you're making, and now it's easier for you to
Speaker 2: call names and throw them out. This political divide again
Speaker 2: between red and blue. I don't think it's going away soon.
Speaker 2: I definitely don't believe that we're going to see a
Speaker 2: change in our political culture anytime soon. But what I
Speaker 2: do believe is if we can engage, especially with one another,
Speaker 2: we can find some commonality. We don't have to be
Speaker 2: casting out fellow conservatives merely because they disagree you on
Speaker 2: Maybe they disagree with you on Trump, maybe they disagree
Speaker 2: with you on this point, that point. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: case in point. I think renaming the Gulf of Mexico
Speaker 2: the Gulf of America is this silly thing and a
Speaker 2: waste of time and a distraction from real issues. But
Speaker 2: I guarantee you there are some people out there that
Speaker 2: our big proponents of called from America, are mad at
Speaker 2: me for saying that out loud, accuse me of just
Speaker 2: being a liberal or hating Trump, which couldn't be further
Speaker 2: from the truth. But that's the direction, and that's how
Speaker 2: far we have de evolved when it comes to being
Speaker 2: able to discuss politics in a meaningful manner. If we
Speaker 2: don't find our way, we don't figure out a way
Speaker 2: to get back to where we can actually discuss issues
Speaker 2: without attacks, we're going to continue to struggle. This nation
Speaker 2: will continue down the wrong path if we don't come
Speaker 2: up with some type of refocus. It's that simple, people.
Speaker 2: We're going to pause right here for our first commercial
Speaker 2: break of the program. It is something to think about, people,
Speaker 2: because again, do we really need to be ending friendships?
Speaker 2: Do we really need to be casting out family members
Speaker 2: because of political disagreements. I don't know about you, but
Speaker 2: I think that we as humans should be better than that,
Speaker 2: should strive to be better that. This is the right
Speaker 2: Side Radio program. We'll be right back. Hey everyone, this
Speaker 2: is Jack Fairshild's the right Side Radio program and license reviewed,
Speaker 2: and I want to talk to you for a second
Speaker 2: about my pillow. My pillow is quite simply the finest
Speaker 2: pillow on the market. My pillows patented interlocking fills to
Speaker 2: your individual sleep needs, regardless of sleeping position. This innovative
Speaker 2: field then holds that position all night, helping you fall
Speaker 2: asleep faster, stay asleep longer. The founder and owner of

Speaker 2: add my own guarantee as well. And right now, you

Speaker 2: m D night r id and say big while getting
Speaker 2: the best night sleep you've ever had. All right, guys,
Speaker 2: welcome back here to the right Side Radio program. Goodness, folks,
Speaker 2: these attacks, these unwillingness to find a common realm with
Speaker 2: your average citizen. Again, I'm not talking about a politician.
Speaker 2: Politicians can rue the day because again they have helped
Speaker 2: create and help shape some of this divide, whether it's
Speaker 2: with their inflammatory attack ads that they run on anyone
Speaker 2: that runs against them, or their insistence on ignoring their
Speaker 2: campaign promises when they get elected. And that's something that
Speaker 2: we have seen all too often, where politicians can hide
Speaker 2: behind the strength of incumbency. We've seen it throughout history,
Speaker 2: whether it's nationally or right here in your home state.
Speaker 2: Bad politicians get elected, they go to Washington, they go
Speaker 2: to Jackson, they go to whatever your state capital is,
Speaker 2: and they ignore the very campaign promises that they made
Speaker 2: to you. And they did all of this knowing that
Speaker 2: you're going to have a short term memory. They also
Speaker 2: did all of this knowing that if they get a challenger,
Speaker 2: he's not going to have the money in order to
Speaker 2: compete with them. That all he has to do is
Speaker 2: spend enough money on attack mailers, on attack television spots,
Speaker 2: whatever he can do to levy an attack against his opponent.
Speaker 2: That's what he's going to do. John Q incumbent understands
Speaker 2: that this is how he keeps the system in his way,
Speaker 2: and you, as the voter, you continue to fall for
Speaker 2: it because you recognize John Q Incumbent's name and you
Speaker 2: understand that John Q incumbent has always been there, so
Speaker 2: he must be doing something good. But you're ignoring his actions.
Speaker 2: You're ignoring how many times he's broken a promise. Now,
Speaker 2: sure he can come home to you and he can
Speaker 2: come up with excuses and he can throw out, well,
Speaker 2: we really wanted to get that done this session, but
Speaker 2: we just didn't have the votes. And then you're left
Speaker 2: scratching your head, especially in a state like Mississippi where
Speaker 2: Republicans control both the House and the Senate. They control
Speaker 2: the governor's mansion, the lieutenant governor's office, so how do
Speaker 2: they not have the votes? They have a overwhelming majority,
Speaker 2: but they still can't get things like elimination of the
Speaker 2: income tax done. These are things they can't get done
Speaker 2: and then when you do the research, you understand the
Speaker 2: reason that doesn't get done is we have a lieutenant
Speaker 2: governor in the state of Mississippi that is truly a
Speaker 2: Democrat that just happens have an or biased name and
Speaker 2: doesn't want it done. But most people won't take the
Speaker 2: time to do that research. They won't take the time
Speaker 2: to look into these things and understand there's a reason why.
Speaker 2: So when they come home and say that they just
Speaker 2: didn't have the votes, we fall for it every time,
Speaker 2: because again, we don't ask that next question. We're not thinking.
Speaker 2: We're not programmed to be critical thinkers anymore, so that
Speaker 2: next question of why couldn't you get it done? John
Speaker 2: Q incumbent, when your party controls everything, why couldn't you
Speaker 2: get it done? Now, let's look at Washington, John Q
Speaker 2: incumbent and the United States Senate. When certain pieces of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's agenda get rejected and John Q incumbent comes
Speaker 2: home and he's asked about it, his answer is going
Speaker 2: to be predictably, well, we just didn't have the votes
Speaker 2: to reach that threshold that we needed. They're going to
Speaker 2: hide behind the parliamentary rules that regard the filibuster, a
Speaker 2: rule that could have been changed, a rule that they
Speaker 2: could at any time move away from, but they don't
Speaker 2: want to because they understand it gives them political cover
Speaker 2: from things they don't want to enact. If you don't
Speaker 2: have enough votes to move it forward, it is what
Speaker 2: it is, and you, who may be against it might
Speaker 2: even be able to hide behind that without ever having
Speaker 2: to take a vote. So therefore, when you come home
Speaker 2: to your constituents and they start asking you questions about it,
Speaker 2: you can just look them straight in the eye and say, well,
Speaker 2: we tried, we just didn't have the votes. Despite the
Speaker 2: fact that your party is control of the Senate, despite
Speaker 2: the fact that your party's in control of the House,
Speaker 2: control of the White House. These are the excuses that
Speaker 2: they throw out time and time again, and while we're
Speaker 2: sitting down eating each other alive, because this person disagrees
Speaker 2: with you on this issue, even though more than not
Speaker 2: your lockstep together on ninety nine point nine percent of
Speaker 2: the issues. But you only want to focus on the
Speaker 2: issue that he disagrees with you on because that proves
Speaker 2: he's not a true conservative, That proves he's not rock
Speaker 2: solid red like you are. When he might have a
Speaker 2: principled reason for why he doesn't agree with you on that,
Speaker 2: and the fact that you won't take the time to
Speaker 2: listen to it. That means when he comes pushing a
Speaker 2: candidate running against John Q incumbent, you're going to go
Speaker 2: side with John qancumbt despite all of his deficiencies, despite
Speaker 2: everything that John Q incumbent has laid out for you,
Speaker 2: everything that he has shown you of how poor of
Speaker 2: a politician, how poor of a representative, how poor of
Speaker 2: an employee he's been for you and your area. Because
Speaker 2: you're your neighbor, Martin, he doesn't agree with you on
Speaker 2: this particular issue. So if he's wrong on that, he's
Speaker 2: not a true Conservatives. Therefore, since he's not a true
Speaker 2: conservative and he's pushing the challenger, well I've got to
Speaker 2: stay with John Q incumbent because Martins Martin's a bad guy,
Speaker 2: which means as candidate challenger is a bad guy too. Again,
Speaker 2: I'm laying out how all this division again, I get
Speaker 2: the right and the left division, and I spoke in
Speaker 2: the first half about how we shouldn't allow it to
Speaker 2: divide families. Now I'm talking about these smaller divisions because again,
Speaker 2: it all plays in together, it all interlocks I'm not
Speaker 2: talking about major policy points that are a problem, because
Speaker 2: trust me, there are some major policy points that I
Speaker 2: have issue with with the Republican Party. It's part of
Speaker 2: the reason why I don't associate myself with the Republican
Speaker 2: Party anymore. Do I vote Republican more times than not,
Speaker 2: but it's just because their candidate is the better candidate.
Speaker 2: But I am an active participant within the Republican Party.
Speaker 2: Now will I be one again one day? I can't
Speaker 2: answer that, honestly. At this time, I honestly don't know.
Speaker 2: But they'll use these things. They'll utilize these to protect
Speaker 2: bad politicians, politicians that want to expand Obamacare, which again
Speaker 2: that's truly not a conservative point of view, but they're
Speaker 2: going to defend it, and they're going to defend it
Speaker 2: against the challenger because John Q incumbent told them that, well,
Speaker 2: we need to do this for this and because you
Speaker 2: disagreed with Martin on one point. Now you're going to
Speaker 2: have to accept Obamacare expansion. You're going to have to
Speaker 2: accept that these state income tax is not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: These are issues that you helped create yourself because you
Speaker 2: decided to follow down this path instead of focusing on
Speaker 2: the numerous areas that you agree with your neighbor. Because
Speaker 2: you harped on the one thing that you didn't, you
Speaker 2: now are stuck with John Qan combent because you can't
Speaker 2: listen to him on the Challenger. You can't accept that
Speaker 2: he might be right on the Challenger. This is where
Speaker 2: we are in this country, and this is part of
Speaker 2: the reason why we are struggling to get anything done,
Speaker 2: to change anything, because we can't come up with a
Speaker 2: way to communicate even within ourselves. We can't find a
Speaker 2: common place to have that discussion, that civility with our
Speaker 2: neighbors about key conservative points. And until we figure this out,
Speaker 2: we're going to continue down this dangerous path. This is
Speaker 2: the right Side Radio Program. We'll be right back. The
Speaker 2: Midnight Ride, the home of the anti establishment movement. This
Speaker 2: network features great programming such as Chris McDaniel's America, God
Speaker 2: and Country, The right Side Radio Show, Paul Revere's Liberty Layer,
Speaker 2: and many more coming soon. So check out the Midnight
Speaker 2: Ride today, head to the night Ride dot com and
Speaker 2: check out all the amazing content. All right, guys, welcome
Speaker 2: back here to the right Side Radio Program. Here we
Speaker 2: are in the home stretch the radio show, the final
Speaker 2: segment of the program. Today, folks, we're talking about this division.
Speaker 2: We're talking about how can we figure out some common ground,
Speaker 2: whether it's with your family in a right left situation
Speaker 2: or those of us who are truly conservative and truly
Speaker 2: want to see real substantive change made, not just within
Speaker 2: the country, within our party, within our state. Get us
Speaker 2: to the points where we can salvage things for this
Speaker 2: country the way that we need to. How do we
Speaker 2: get there? How do we achieve that? I don't have
Speaker 2: a definitive answer other than dial back some of your rhetoric.
Speaker 2: Don't be so quick to jump to the name calling.
Speaker 2: Don't be so quick to just attack. It is so important.
Speaker 2: I had a friend a few years ago. He wanted
Speaker 2: to start for all the right reasons too. Nothing about
Speaker 2: a vanity project here, but he wanted to start a
Speaker 2: conservative action group. He wanted to figure out a way
Speaker 2: to make substitutive change within our community. He wanted to
Speaker 2: try to figure out a way to hold politicians accountable.
Speaker 2: And his vision, his dream was to start something locally
Speaker 2: and expand it and work with other groups throughout the
Speaker 2: state and come up with a way to have a
Speaker 2: statewide networking group, a very honorable, noble cause. And I
Speaker 2: remember when he first I told him why it wasn't
Speaker 2: going to work, and I hated to be that guy,
Speaker 2: but I told him, I said, look, I love this
Speaker 2: and I want to be proven wrong. I want to
Speaker 2: see it work. But the problem that you're going to
Speaker 2: run into with these other groups and organized as that
Speaker 2: have already gotten off the ground is they're going to
Speaker 2: be extremely territorial. They're not gonna want to seed any
Speaker 2: ground you because you're the Johnny come Lately, which is
Speaker 2: ridiculous thought process, because again, if we truly want to
Speaker 2: encourage everyone to get involved, we should encourage them to
Speaker 2: get involved. That's the reason why if I have someone
Speaker 2: reach out to me saying that they want to start
Speaker 2: their own podcast, their own show, I'm willing to sit
Speaker 2: down and talk with them and give them advice and
Speaker 2: walk them through every step because I understand what we're
Speaker 2: trying to achieve is bigger than me, and I hope
Speaker 2: it outlasts me. I hope that the things that we're
Speaker 2: fighting for, the things that we're trying to invoke change on,
Speaker 2: will be enacted and we'll still be fighting for the
Speaker 2: things we haven't gotten long after I'm gone. But that's
Speaker 2: not the way a lot of these groups and organizations are.
Speaker 2: For a lot of these people, it's more about the power.
Speaker 2: It's more about the prestige than it is about the movement,
Speaker 2: than it is about getting things done. They would rather
Speaker 2: have a group an organization that does little to nothing,
Speaker 2: but they get to hold the title, the top billing
Speaker 2: in that group and in that organization. They would rather
Speaker 2: have that be what they put forth than actually ceding
Speaker 2: a little bit of that power to work with the newcomer,
Speaker 2: to work with people that are trying to come on
Speaker 2: the scenes and come up with a way to create
Speaker 2: a network where we can all come together. That's always
Speaker 2: been sad to me. That's always been sad to me,
Speaker 2: because again, this is another part of the division, because again,
Speaker 2: if you have organizations like conservative coalitions or tea party
Speaker 2: group or conservative action groups, whatever they call themselves, they
Speaker 2: should all want to try to get together for the
Speaker 2: common goal. But instead it turns into everyone's own little kingdoms.
Speaker 2: It turns into this manifestation of well, this is my group,
Speaker 2: I don't care what you say with your group. We're
Speaker 2: going to do our own and that's Look, that's fine,
Speaker 2: but if you're doing it at the detriment of creating
Speaker 2: that network, and you look back, had passed elections, and
Speaker 2: you go to yourself, why did we lose so solidly?
Speaker 2: Why couldn't we figure out a way to We had
Speaker 2: the best candidate we were ever going to have and
Speaker 2: we still lost. How did that happen? What happened because
Speaker 2: you created too much division within your groups and organizations. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you got an organization off the ground. Yeah you got
Speaker 2: people to show up to your meetings, but because of
Speaker 2: all the infighting in the division, you weren't able to
Speaker 2: keep them. You weren't able to reach places outside of
Speaker 2: your own area or outside of your own bubble boo,
Speaker 2: because again, you were not too interested in figuring out
Speaker 2: a way to expand you were focused solely on your
Speaker 2: own little kingdom. And because that focus on your own
Speaker 2: little kingdom, you have other people in other areas now
Speaker 2: that want to attack you and discredit you. To the
Speaker 2: credit of the friend of mine that started his own group,
Speaker 2: he never was like that. Didn't see that from him. Now.
Speaker 2: He might have been crotchety and a little too hard
Speaker 2: headed for some to deal with, But I honestly can
Speaker 2: say he wasn't in it for his own purposes. He
Speaker 2: wasn't starting something to create his own vanity project. Last
Speaker 2: week I mentioned that I have a friend that's considering
Speaker 2: running for mayor of my old hometown and in conversations
Speaker 2: I have strongly encouraged this person to make a go
Speaker 2: for it. And in these conversations I found out that
Speaker 2: there are various folks that should be within the groups
Speaker 2: that would want to support them, but instead of showing
Speaker 2: the support for them, instead of showing the support because
Speaker 2: they understand that the current mayor is a problem, that
Speaker 2: the city is sinking fast, and if they don't figure
Speaker 2: out a way to change it, they just want to discourage.
Speaker 2: They want to backbite because again, my friend is not
Speaker 2: their chosen path. And after having this conversation, my advice
Speaker 2: was go for it, because they wouldn't be making these
Speaker 2: calls if they didn't view you as a threat.
Speaker 1: Go for it.
Speaker 2: See what happens rock the system. Is it going to
Speaker 2: be easy. No, because this person will be running against
Speaker 2: John Q, incumbent. It's going to be an uphill battle.
Speaker 2: But again, we have to be brave, we have to
Speaker 2: be willing to walk into battle. We have to be
Speaker 2: willing to stand up for the things that we believe in,
Speaker 2: and we have to be willing to have civil conversations
Speaker 2: with people that we don't think we agree with, Because
Speaker 2: until we're willing to do that, especially with the people
Speaker 2: within our own circles that we have created our own
Speaker 2: division with, we're not going to be able to attack
Speaker 2: the other side. We're not going to be able to
Speaker 2: take down the Left, We're not going to be able
Speaker 2: to take down the Republican establishment, whoever it is. As
Speaker 2: long as there's that much backbiting and division amongst our
Speaker 2: own selves, how are we ever going to advance anything?
Speaker 2: How are we ever going to get to that point
Speaker 2: where we're going to be successful. We can't be We
Speaker 2: can't be successful if all we ever do is backbite.
Speaker 2: I think we can get there, people, I truly do.
Speaker 2: I believe that if we put forth the effort, if
Speaker 2: we put forth the work, we can truly change things
Speaker 2: in this country for the better. I think if we
Speaker 2: truly fight for everything that we believe in that we
Speaker 2: hold dear, do so in a manner in which we
Speaker 2: can explain to people while we are on this side
Speaker 2: without resorting to the name calling, without getting too territorial
Speaker 2: over the precious group that we created, without kicking family
Speaker 2: members to the curb. Maybe then we can figure out
Speaker 2: a way to truly save this country. The election of
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump is a good thing. It will move
Speaker 2: things in the right direction without a doubt, but it's
Speaker 2: not the only thing. There is so much more that
Speaker 2: we have to achieve in so little time to be
Speaker 2: able to achieve it. If you believe Donald Trump can
Speaker 2: do everything by himself, then well I'm sorry, but you
Speaker 2: are wrong, and you're going to be one of the
Speaker 2: very ones sitting there when things don't go our way,
Speaker 2: questioning why that happened. Maybe you'll even blame Trump for
Speaker 2: not getting it done, when the reality is you failed
Speaker 2: him by not engaging the system and holding bad politicians accountable,
Speaker 2: all because you let a petty grudge with your neighbor
Speaker 2: keep you from backing his candidate. You stuck with John Q, incumbent,
Speaker 2: and now you're wondering why nothing changed, why nothing improved.
Speaker 2: You could have taken your group, You could have joined
Speaker 2: up with groups in other towns and communities and created
Speaker 2: a network throughout the state that could have potentially moved
Speaker 2: the needle in the right direction. But instead you were
Speaker 2: worried that if you did that, you might lose power
Speaker 2: of your own little kingdom, so you resisted forming that coalition.
Speaker 2: And by resisting forming that coalition, you ensured that the
Speaker 2: challenger won't drum up the support that he needs. Folks,
Speaker 2: we just have to figure out a way to not
Speaker 2: let the petty little differences be what drives us apart.
Speaker 2: If you believe in red versus blue, and you believe
Speaker 2: that blue is insane, then you should be willing to
Speaker 2: do whatever it takes to work with your fellow conservatives
Speaker 2: despite whatever differences or disagreements shall might be able to
Speaker 2: come across. You might find a way to change everything
Speaker 2: if you can just put that stuff aside for a minute,
Speaker 2: if you can just move past some of that nonsense
Speaker 2: and move towards a path in which we figure out
Speaker 2: a way to find those core tenants, those core principles
Speaker 2: that we want hundred percent agree on, and we move forward.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's three, maybe it's four, but find those core tenants,
Speaker 2: find those core principles, focus on those, work together to
Speaker 2: achieve those goals, and let the other stuff that you
Speaker 2: disagree on. You can fight that battle another day, but
Speaker 2: all too often we get so wrapped up in the
Speaker 2: single issue that we're not willing to work with the
Speaker 2: person who could probably help us achieve the goals that
Speaker 2: we want to achieve. And that's sad to me. That's
Speaker 2: where this division, this me mentality culture is all coming from,
Speaker 2: and until we get past it, we're not going to
Speaker 2: be very successful. Guys. This has been the right Side
