My Political Party is Deranged, Failure .
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me Kevin here look I know
some of you aren't jazzed about politics
but the reality is politics is life and
if you don't participate in politics
because you're stuck on the far extremes
of discussions and you only want to talk
to people on the far left or the far
right well then you're part of what I
think is the minor or the minority 10 of
people that's five percent on each side
who just go when they hear opinions from
the other side I like to consider myself
pretty dang in the middle 51 49 is
generally what I call myself and folks
when somebody messes up whether it's on
the left or the right I talk about it
and The Economist just came out with a
piece that absolutely slams The
Democratic party in Joe Biden we've got
to talk about this this is not to try to
be like a right-wing piece of propaganda
if anything gets to be a wake-up call to
those on the left that there needs to be
some change some pretty big change
because when The Economist which is a
pretty radically Centrist paper but
quite frankly between you and I they're
pretty liberal they they lean quite left
when they're discussions and their
reports are radio reports everything
it's it's leans left okay let's just be
real let's call when we see a duck we
call it a duck okay The Economist leans
left and they just had a pretty big
piece that slams Biden in the Democratic
party pretty hard
let's talk the article starts off by
saying that every president has years to
be historic but that no president has
been historic like Joe Biden because no
president since the 1950s has had this
low of an approval rating this early
into their term
this is compounded by the fact that even
67 percent of Democrats think the
economy is doing poorly and 78 of
Democrats think the economy and country
is heading in the wrong direction
we're even at the point now where more
than half
64 of Democrats want to see a different
presidential candidate on the ticket in
2024 and not Joe Biden for a rerun
that's pretty wild usually the president
gets elected goes for a rerun and the
party supports them but folks here are
the arguments first they argue that Joe
Biden has done very little with his 18
months in office and inflation has
absolutely killed this opportunity to
now get anything done remember back in
the days of January 5th right before the
January 6 Insurrection Riot Freedom
rally whatever you want to call it
January 5th was a really really
interesting day it was actually a really
interesting night and I live streamed it
the reason it was so interesting was
because it was when we had the Georgia
election which helped us understand the
balance of Joe Biden's presidency at
this point in January we already knew
that Biden would be the president we
already knew that the House of
Representatives would be Democrat but we
did not know what would happen with the
Senate the Senate was up for grabs
Joe Biden on the morning of January 5th
said if you elect the Democrat to the
Senate we will get another stimulus
check passed which is true passed
another 1400 stimulus check which by
many accounts wasn't needed and probably
contributed substantially to inflation
but Democrats ended up winning that seat
and the argument was that wow whether
you were a Republican or a Democrat the
argument was there was no question
Democrats would be in power for the next
two years and massive things would get
done even some Republicans were excited
that marijuana or electric vehicles or
Soul or energy green energy not the
green new deal but just green energy
initiatives and and changes for the
economic climate and a calmer political
environment there was a lot of
excitement that would be coming and a
lot of new bills and investment into
America that would be coming because one
party would have control roll for two
years and the idea was that so much
could get done whether it was good or
would end up being bad at least stuff
would get done because we are tired of
the two years of stalemate that we had
after Donald Trump's first presidency or
during Donald Trump's first presidency
after they passed the tax cut and jobs
act between
2017-2018 we had nothing that happened
between 2019 and 20 and then obviously
we had the pandemic we were in stalemate
and we hate stalemate we like to see
things get done well the thought was at
least things would get done here even if
you're a Republican and disturbed by
this at least things would get done well
Biden wasn't able to muster up the will
to get much done much beyond that
fourteen hundred dollar stimulus check
and we got the infrastructure package
the actual hard infrastructure package
not the soft and social infrastructure
package which was supposed to be
initially part of that package but then
was broken up into two different
packages those are things that got done
but folks after this almost nothing got
done and at this point people are
looking and saying the country needs
parties that actually represent what the
voters want and not the extremes and in
the last 18 months since Joe Biden was
elected it seems like the Democratic
party has crept into this insane
rhetoric of defund the police abolish
immigration enforcement just let
everybody in whether they have a job or
can get a job whether they're criminals
or not just let everybody in let's kill
capitalism let's relabel women as
birthing people and let's inject
anti-racism into the classroom that's
what the Democratic party has done with
all their power over the last 18 months
and I want to be very clear here I I
think it's obvious and it should be
really obvious that generally more cops
equal less crime right think about that
for a moment when you prosecute less
people crime goes up imagine that look
at San Francisco their district attorney
is getting recalled because they've
prosecuted so little crime that crime
has skyrocketed surprise surprise less
enforcement crime goes up and people are
pissed when you compare to Miami a city
that has actually increased funding for
the police imagine this crime actually
went down
now I'm not a biologist but I don't
think 95 percent of US unless you're on
that extreme five percent of the curve
need a biology degree to tell you what a
woman is that a woman is somebody with a
vagina a uterus and ovaries and if
somebody wants to identify as a woman
fine but some you know that could be
respected I can respect that that's fine
but that person is not a biological
woman now jump over to California for
example California has gone insane with
Democratic priorities 50 of our Farmland
is dead because we don't have enough
water yeah what does our governor do
with a rare Surplus that we got from
capital gains in 2020 and 2021 massive
capital gains which are taxed at
ordinary higher tax rates in California
what is California doing well we're not
building more decile plants to bring
more water we're not bringing in
aqueducts to bring more water in we're
certainly not teaching Financial
education in our schools we're not
dealing with homelessness we're not
taxing less no we're sending stimulus
checks to individuals making up to 500
000 branded as inflation relief checks
true story coming to you in October
completely ridiculous and that's why I'm
embarrassed to say I even live in
California the Democratic party has gone
bonkers
but folks I don't think that Democrats
in general are Bonkers I think
unfortunately we're voting for people
who throw people into office who then go
extreme with awoke mentality and focus
on things to try to buzz up more social
media drama to try to appeal to the loud
five percent of individuals and
everybody else just ends up pissed with
a government that's less functional and
this is why the economist goes as far as
suggesting that if Democrats don't
change they'll either be a return of
Donald Trump or maybe even a more
extreme version of him which some folks
in fact I would say 50 to 60 percent of
the people watching this video are like
please bring Trump back and that's
because Democrats have totally
squandered the opportunity that they had
and have left a nasty taste in the mouth
of many even Democrats who might want to
switch parties even Elon Musk is now
claiming he is switching parties it
might be for the first time in his
opinion voting for or at least the way
he puts it voting for a republican now
of course Democrats aren't really
learning that they've got to change
their narrative because even as recently
as last week Democrats and Joe Biden are
still blaming inflation on poten saying
don't worry inflation's going to go down
because gas prices just went down 40 or
40 cents 40 cents not 40 okay dude Biden
you're being tone deaf this is nothing
to do with just gas prices and Putin it
has everything to do with the fact that
everything is getting more expensive
labor is getting more expensive rent is
getting more expensive food is more
expensive services are more expensive
insurance for your car for your home is
more expensive going to the dentist is
more expensive everything is more
expensive it's not just oh hey don't
worry gas is getting a little cheaper
yeah well when something doubles and
then goes down a little bit we don't
want to celebrate that just that little
bit one down it's still a lot higher and
this tone deafness is killing the
Democratic party we need some realism in
the party we need people to speak to us
about the real issues that us 90 percent
care about which is better schools which
is better use of government money not
money getting funneled into wealthy uh
chip companies so Nancy Pelosi can
profit offer call options and stocks
it's dealing with unacceptably high
crime that's dealing with terrible
schools it's dealing with investing in
our future more than China does we used
to back in the 50s and 60s invest in
America and in Americans more than any
other country in the world today we're
like third or fourth place China is
blowing us out of the water with the
amount of money that they're spending in
their Futures because think about it
kids in school today are the next
scientists and Engineers that are
supposed to innovate and Propel us
forward but if we're failing them what
kind of future do we have and so this is
where the economist goes as far as
saying look if Mr Biden truly want wants
to save the soul of his Nation he will
have to start with the soul of his own
party how about instead of focusing on
putting racism or gender identity into
our elementary school education we focus
on crime legal immigration streamlining
illegal immigration so we have more
workers to fill the many jobs that we
have right now we have 1.9 job openings
per unemployed person let's bring in
people who can help us build our country
increase our GDP and prevent a recession
let's focus on the real things like
mental education Financial education and
Building Wealth for Americans rather
than focusing on these ideologies that
only a nominal amount of people actually
care about this shouldn't be getting
airtime in Congress let them have
airtime and social media but let's focus
on the big things first and once we
solve the big things maybe in the future
we can deal with those minor things now
I just want to be crystal clear this is
not to try to say that you have to be
super laughter super right it's simply
to say that I think the vast majority of
us and let me know in the comments down
below just say I agree Kevin with that
summary here's maybe even something
extra that you want to add to the list
here are just some of the things that I
think are so critical for us to think
about jobs we can all agree on that more
legal immigration energy Independence
Innovation mental education Financial
education and better schools these are
big huge priorities why are we spending
so much time ignoring these and focusing
our debates on things that in my opinion
are substantially less critical I'm not
saying they're not important they're
just not as critical as these yet
there's so much we can do and there's so
many more critical things that belong on
this list before we start talking about
things like Diva on the police or
critical race theory in elementary
school or identity politics and teaching
my four-year-old what it means to
identify as a boy versus a girl why
don't we talk about this first
