0:00

hey everyone me Kevin here look I know

0:01

some of you aren't jazzed about politics

0:03

but the reality is politics is life and

0:06

if you don't participate in politics

0:07

because you're stuck on the far extremes

0:11

of discussions and you only want to talk

0:13

to people on the far left or the far

0:15

right well then you're part of what I

0:17

think is the minor or the minority 10 of

0:20

people that's five percent on each side

0:21

who just go when they hear opinions from

0:24

the other side I like to consider myself

0:27

pretty dang in the middle 51 49 is

0:30

generally what I call myself and folks

0:32

when somebody messes up whether it's on

0:35

the left or the right I talk about it

0:37

and The Economist just came out with a

0:40

piece that absolutely slams The

0:44

Democratic party in Joe Biden we've got

0:46

to talk about this this is not to try to

0:49

be like a right-wing piece of propaganda

0:51

if anything gets to be a wake-up call to

0:52

those on the left that there needs to be

0:55

some change some pretty big change

0:57

because when The Economist which is a

1:00

pretty radically Centrist paper but

1:02

quite frankly between you and I they're

1:05

pretty liberal they they lean quite left

1:07

when they're discussions and their

1:08

reports are radio reports everything

1:10

it's it's leans left okay let's just be

1:12

real let's call when we see a duck we

1:15

call it a duck okay The Economist leans

1:17

left and they just had a pretty big

1:19

piece that slams Biden in the Democratic

1:23

party pretty hard

1:24

let's talk the article starts off by

1:27

saying that every president has years to

1:29

be historic but that no president has

1:31

been historic like Joe Biden because no

1:33

president since the 1950s has had this

1:37

low of an approval rating this early

1:39

into their term

1:41

this is compounded by the fact that even

1:43

67 percent of Democrats think the

1:45

economy is doing poorly and 78 of

1:47

Democrats think the economy and country

1:49

is heading in the wrong direction

1:53

we're even at the point now where more

1:55

than half

1:56

64 of Democrats want to see a different

2:00

presidential candidate on the ticket in

2:02

2024 and not Joe Biden for a rerun

2:07

that's pretty wild usually the president

2:09

gets elected goes for a rerun and the

2:12

party supports them but folks here are

2:15

the arguments first they argue that Joe

2:18

Biden has done very little with his 18

2:20

months in office and inflation has

2:23

absolutely killed this opportunity to

2:25

now get anything done remember back in

2:28

the days of January 5th right before the

2:30

January 6 Insurrection Riot Freedom

2:34

rally whatever you want to call it

2:35

January 5th was a really really

2:38

interesting day it was actually a really

2:40

interesting night and I live streamed it

2:42

the reason it was so interesting was

2:44

because it was when we had the Georgia

2:47

election which helped us understand the

2:50

balance of Joe Biden's presidency at

2:53

this point in January we already knew

2:55

that Biden would be the president we

2:57

already knew that the House of

2:58

Representatives would be Democrat but we

3:02

did not know what would happen with the

3:05

Senate the Senate was up for grabs

3:09

Joe Biden on the morning of January 5th

3:12

said if you elect the Democrat to the

3:15

Senate we will get another stimulus

3:18

check passed which is true passed

3:21

another 1400 stimulus check which by

3:24

many accounts wasn't needed and probably

3:25

contributed substantially to inflation

3:27

but Democrats ended up winning that seat

3:30

and the argument was that wow whether

3:34

you were a Republican or a Democrat the

3:37

argument was there was no question

3:39

Democrats would be in power for the next

3:41

two years and massive things would get

3:44

done even some Republicans were excited

3:47

that marijuana or electric vehicles or

3:50

Soul or energy green energy not the

3:53

green new deal but just green energy

3:54

initiatives and and changes for the

3:57

economic climate and a calmer political

3:59

environment there was a lot of

4:01

excitement that would be coming and a

4:03

lot of new bills and investment into

4:06

America that would be coming because one

4:08

party would have control roll for two

4:10

years and the idea was that so much

4:13

could get done whether it was good or

4:15

would end up being bad at least stuff

4:17

would get done because we are tired of

4:20

the two years of stalemate that we had

4:22

after Donald Trump's first presidency or

4:25

during Donald Trump's first presidency

4:27

after they passed the tax cut and jobs

4:28

act between

4:30

2017-2018 we had nothing that happened

4:33

between 2019 and 20 and then obviously

4:35

we had the pandemic we were in stalemate

4:37

and we hate stalemate we like to see

4:39

things get done well the thought was at

4:42

least things would get done here even if

4:45

you're a Republican and disturbed by

4:46

this at least things would get done well

4:49

Biden wasn't able to muster up the will

4:52

to get much done much beyond that

4:54

fourteen hundred dollar stimulus check

4:55

and we got the infrastructure package

4:57

the actual hard infrastructure package

4:59

not the soft and social infrastructure

5:01

package which was supposed to be

5:03

initially part of that package but then

5:04

was broken up into two different

5:06

packages those are things that got done

5:08

but folks after this almost nothing got

5:13

done and at this point people are

5:15

looking and saying the country needs

5:17

parties that actually represent what the

5:19

voters want and not the extremes and in

5:21

the last 18 months since Joe Biden was

5:24

elected it seems like the Democratic

5:26

party has crept into this insane

5:28

rhetoric of defund the police abolish

5:31

immigration enforcement just let

5:32

everybody in whether they have a job or

5:34

can get a job whether they're criminals

5:36

or not just let everybody in let's kill

5:38

capitalism let's relabel women as

5:40

birthing people and let's inject

5:42

anti-racism into the classroom that's

5:44

what the Democratic party has done with

5:46

all their power over the last 18 months

5:48

and I want to be very clear here I I

5:51

think it's obvious and it should be

5:53

really obvious that generally more cops

5:55

equal less crime right think about that

5:57

for a moment when you prosecute less

6:00

people crime goes up imagine that look

6:03

at San Francisco their district attorney

6:05

is getting recalled because they've

6:07

prosecuted so little crime that crime

6:10

has skyrocketed surprise surprise less

6:12

enforcement crime goes up and people are

6:15

pissed when you compare to Miami a city

6:18

that has actually increased funding for

6:20

the police imagine this crime actually

6:23

went down

6:25

now I'm not a biologist but I don't

6:27

think 95 percent of US unless you're on

6:30

that extreme five percent of the curve

6:32

need a biology degree to tell you what a

6:35

woman is that a woman is somebody with a

6:36

vagina a uterus and ovaries and if

6:38

somebody wants to identify as a woman

6:40

fine but some you know that could be

6:42

respected I can respect that that's fine

6:44

but that person is not a biological

6:46

woman now jump over to California for

6:49

example California has gone insane with

6:51

Democratic priorities 50 of our Farmland

6:53

is dead because we don't have enough

6:55

water yeah what does our governor do

6:57

with a rare Surplus that we got from

6:58

capital gains in 2020 and 2021 massive

7:01

capital gains which are taxed at

7:03

ordinary higher tax rates in California

7:05

what is California doing well we're not

7:08

building more decile plants to bring

7:09

more water we're not bringing in

7:11

aqueducts to bring more water in we're

7:13

certainly not teaching Financial

7:14

education in our schools we're not

7:16

dealing with homelessness we're not

7:18

taxing less no we're sending stimulus

7:21

checks to individuals making up to 500

7:24

000 branded as inflation relief checks

7:27

true story coming to you in October

7:30

completely ridiculous and that's why I'm

7:33

embarrassed to say I even live in

7:36

California the Democratic party has gone

7:38

bonkers

7:40

but folks I don't think that Democrats

7:43

in general are Bonkers I think

7:45

unfortunately we're voting for people

7:46

who throw people into office who then go

7:50

extreme with awoke mentality and focus

7:53

on things to try to buzz up more social

7:56

media drama to try to appeal to the loud

7:59

five percent of individuals and

8:01

everybody else just ends up pissed with

8:03

a government that's less functional and

8:05

this is why the economist goes as far as

8:07

suggesting that if Democrats don't

8:09

change they'll either be a return of

8:11

Donald Trump or maybe even a more

8:13

extreme version of him which some folks

8:16

in fact I would say 50 to 60 percent of

8:18

the people watching this video are like

8:20

please bring Trump back and that's

8:22

because Democrats have totally

8:24

squandered the opportunity that they had

8:26

and have left a nasty taste in the mouth

8:28

of many even Democrats who might want to

8:31

switch parties even Elon Musk is now

8:34

claiming he is switching parties it

8:37

might be for the first time in his

8:38

opinion voting for or at least the way

8:40

he puts it voting for a republican now

8:43

of course Democrats aren't really

8:45

learning that they've got to change

8:47

their narrative because even as recently

8:49

as last week Democrats and Joe Biden are

8:51

still blaming inflation on poten saying

8:54

don't worry inflation's going to go down

8:56

because gas prices just went down 40 or

8:59

40 cents 40 cents not 40 okay dude Biden

9:03

you're being tone deaf this is nothing

9:05

to do with just gas prices and Putin it

9:09

has everything to do with the fact that

9:11

everything is getting more expensive

9:13

labor is getting more expensive rent is

9:16

getting more expensive food is more

9:19

expensive services are more expensive

9:21

insurance for your car for your home is

9:23

more expensive going to the dentist is

9:25

more expensive everything is more

9:27

expensive it's not just oh hey don't

9:30

worry gas is getting a little cheaper

9:33

yeah well when something doubles and

9:35

then goes down a little bit we don't

9:37

want to celebrate that just that little

9:39

bit one down it's still a lot higher and

9:42

this tone deafness is killing the

9:45

Democratic party we need some realism in

9:47

the party we need people to speak to us

9:49

about the real issues that us 90 percent

9:52

care about which is better schools which

9:55

is better use of government money not

9:57

money getting funneled into wealthy uh

10:00

chip companies so Nancy Pelosi can

10:01

profit offer call options and stocks

10:03

it's dealing with unacceptably high

10:06

crime that's dealing with terrible

10:08

schools it's dealing with investing in

10:10

our future more than China does we used

10:12

to back in the 50s and 60s invest in

10:15

America and in Americans more than any

10:17

other country in the world today we're

10:19

like third or fourth place China is

10:21

blowing us out of the water with the

10:23

amount of money that they're spending in

10:25

their Futures because think about it

10:26

kids in school today are the next

10:28

scientists and Engineers that are

10:30

supposed to innovate and Propel us

10:32

forward but if we're failing them what

10:34

kind of future do we have and so this is

10:37

where the economist goes as far as

10:38

saying look if Mr Biden truly want wants

10:41

to save the soul of his Nation he will

10:43

have to start with the soul of his own

10:45

party how about instead of focusing on

10:48

putting racism or gender identity into

10:51

our elementary school education we focus

10:54

on crime legal immigration streamlining

10:58

illegal immigration so we have more

11:00

workers to fill the many jobs that we

11:02

have right now we have 1.9 job openings

11:05

per unemployed person let's bring in

11:08

people who can help us build our country

11:10

increase our GDP and prevent a recession

11:12

let's focus on the real things like

11:14

mental education Financial education and

11:17

Building Wealth for Americans rather

11:19

than focusing on these ideologies that

11:23

only a nominal amount of people actually

11:25

care about this shouldn't be getting

11:26

airtime in Congress let them have

11:29

airtime and social media but let's focus

11:30

on the big things first and once we

11:33

solve the big things maybe in the future

11:34

we can deal with those minor things now

11:36

I just want to be crystal clear this is

11:39

not to try to say that you have to be

11:40

super laughter super right it's simply

11:43

to say that I think the vast majority of

11:44

us and let me know in the comments down

11:46

below just say I agree Kevin with that

11:48

summary here's maybe even something

11:50

extra that you want to add to the list

11:52

here are just some of the things that I

11:54

think are so critical for us to think

11:56

about jobs we can all agree on that more

11:59

legal immigration energy Independence

12:03

Innovation mental education Financial

12:06

education and better schools these are

12:09

big huge priorities why are we spending

12:12

so much time ignoring these and focusing

12:16

our debates on things that in my opinion

12:19

are substantially less critical I'm not

12:22

saying they're not important they're

12:24

just not as critical as these yet

12:26

there's so much we can do and there's so

12:29

many more critical things that belong on

12:31

this list before we start talking about

12:33

things like Diva on the police or

12:36

critical race theory in elementary

12:37

school or identity politics and teaching

12:40

my four-year-old what it means to

12:42

identify as a boy versus a girl why

12:45

don't we talk about this first
