<v Speaker 1>Win big. Let's roll into Pearl River Resort. Must be

6
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty what or order to play? Gambling problem called one

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>hunter gambler? Is there any hope of any type of

8
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 1>common ground between liberals and conservatives these days? Is there

9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>any hope of finding that center that they always like

10
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. When the moment something happens, we divide

11
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 1>ourselves into one of two camps, or either on this

12
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>side the blue side, or you're on this side, the

13
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>red side. There's no dialogue, there's no debate anymore. And

14
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>that leads us to the question, is there ever going

15
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to be We've become more divided now than we've ever been.

16
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the shooting in Minnesota with the

17
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Ice agent that killed the protester that possibly was going

18
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>to run them over, before there were any facts, before

19
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>there was any clear video, and again there may still

20
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>not be. People had already picked a side. You either

21
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 1>believed the Ice agent was acting in self defense. Or

22
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 1>you believe if it was called blood and murder. There's

23
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>no middle ground anymore. Used to we'd wait until we

24
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>saw more facts before we started to draw the conclusions.

25
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>But we don't do that anymore. You see time and

26
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>time again that the two camps can't wait to pick

27
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>a side. I'm one of those people that still wants

28
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to err on the side of caution. I still want

29
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to see more facts. I want to see more evidence

30
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>brought forth so that way I can draw a logical,

31
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>rational conclusion, not just on the incident I just referenced,

32
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>but on many topics of the day. Take the United

33
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 1>States going and taking the Venezuelan president and bringing him

34
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to New York to hold him in a trial. Again,

35
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the moment it happened, you were either this is awesome

36
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>or you were this is the worst thing in the world.

37
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>But you don't want to wait and find out if

38
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>there's actually any facts that might back up your position. No,

39
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you are decidedly in one of your tribes. You're either

40
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>in the blue tribe or the red tribe. And it's

41
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>not that cut and dry people anymore. We need to

42
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>get back to the days of logic and reason. We

43
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>need to get back to the days where we can

44
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>actually have honest dialogue about things. But when one side

45
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>just screams at you and tells you that you're bigoted

46
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 1>for believing anything, or that you're horrendous for supporting a murderer,

47
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to find common crown with those type of people.

48
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>And I understand and the reason why I want to

49
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>point out that both sides are doing it nowadays. Used

50
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>to it was just the lunatic, insane liberal. But I

51
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>think there are a lot of folks on the Red

52
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>team who've just been pushed too far and are starting

53
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to fight back more and more. Maybe this is a

54
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>good thing, Maybe it's not. We can't sit down and

55
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>have conversations for goodness sake. After Trump was reelected last year,

56
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>there were actual liberals that were considering and I think

57
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>many of them actually went through with it, boycotting all

58
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of the holidays. That meant no Thanksgiving with your family,

59
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>no Christmas with your family, because they just couldn't stomach

60
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the same room with somebody that voted for

61
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. I'm here to tell you people, life is

62
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>too short for some of this silly, stupid stuff that

63
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you're going to allow yourself to miss out on meaningful

64
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 1>family moments. I just don't get it. I don't understand

65
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>the rationale. I don't understand how we got this far.

66
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe I do. Maybe it's because the fact that

67
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>when one side is allowed to call you names and

68
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>attack your character and say whatever they want about you,

69
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it gets old. So I kind of get it, but

70
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know that I can ever move away

71
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>from being the logic and reason person. We live in

72
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a world now where there are people that are honestly

73
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>calling Rand Paul a rhino because he's had disagreements with

74
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. Rand Paul is anything but a rhino. Tomas

75
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Massey is anything but a rhino. The principal people who

76
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>are fighting for what they believe in. And as I've

77
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>said before, it's okay to disagree with President Trump. That

78
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean you don't support him, that doesn't mean that

79
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you don't think he's been doing a good job. But

80
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to agree with him on every position.

81
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 1>But that's how far this divide has become that if

82
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you ever are seen questioning anything on the red team,

83
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 1>then you must secretly be a part of the blue team.

84
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>If you're ever questioning the Blue team, you must secretly

85
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the Red team. It's one of

86
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>those things that if we don't figure out a way

87
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to find some commonality once again, Yes, this grand experiment

88
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>will collapse. Maybe that's what has to happen. Maybe that's

89
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the end game altogether. But I still love this country

90
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and I want to see it succeed. And that's why

91
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I encourage people. I say it all the time. If

92
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>you listen to my show, research it. Don't just take

93
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>me as the end all be all fact. If you

94
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>disagree with me, let me know. I'm okay with it.

95
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big boy. I don't think that you're going

96
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to agree with every single position I take. It's just

97
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>not something that I believe is possible. I don't know, people.

98
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just we're getting to that point faster

99
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 1>and faster to where I think that we are going

100
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>off a cliff and at some point we're not going

101
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 1>to be able to bounce back from it. Maybe that's

102
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 1>what's supposed to happen. Maybe that's the best thing, but

103
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. This has been morning coffee with the

104
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Right Side, and I'm your host, Jack Fairchilds and we're

105
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 1>a part of the Midnight Ride Network. This show has

106
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 1>been brought to you by Pearl River Casino and Resort,
