1. 0:00Can the people running this
2. 0:01country just shut the up for five
3. 0:03minutes? I'm so serious. I am 33
4. 0:06years old. I'm trying to enjoy my life,
5. 0:07make some money, find some happiness,
6. 0:09and little peace of mind. But
7. 0:11every goddamn day it's something. Trump
8. 0:13says this, Democrats say that,
9. 0:15Republicans are fighting, everyone's
10. 0:17pointing finger. Oh, we're threatening
11. 0:18to bomb Iran? Oil skyrockets. Time to
12. 0:20sell. Wait a minute, a peace deal might
13. 0:22be coming. Oil drops. time to buy.
14. 0:24Never mind, peace talks aren't going
15. 0:26anywhere. Oil shoots right back the
16. 0:28up. Sell that again. Bro, what the
17. 0:30is this? Are we running a country
18. 0:32or a day trading group chat?
19. 0:34It's the same circus over and
20. 0:37over again. You know who's stuck
21. 0:39dealing with all this uncertainty? The
22. 0:41people who just want to live their
23. 0:42lives. I don't give a about
24. 0:44red or blue. I don't want another
25. 0:46political celebrity. I don't want
26. 0:47another 80-year-old arguing on
27. 0:49television about whose fault everything
28. 0:51is. I want them to do their
29. 0:52jobs with my tax paying dollars.
30. 0:55>> By the way, this is what a lot of
31. 0:58Americans think. This right here is why
32. 1:01somebody like this would vote for Donald
33. 1:03Trump in 2024
34. 1:05and vote for Democrats in 2026.
35. 1:08Even if you think it's not valid, I
36. 1:10think it's valid. Very common.
37. 1:13>> Work together, fix things, be
38. 1:14transparent, and stop treating the
39. 1:16American people like an audience for
40. 1:18their never-ending drama. Cuz
41. 1:20here's something I think we've
42. 1:21completely forgotten. Government is
43. 1:23supposed to work for us. We are not
44. 1:25supposed to spend our entire lives
45. 1:26worrying about what the government is
46. 1:28going to do next. I don't need politics
47. 1:30to entertain me.
48. 1:31>> That's a good way to look at it, too.
49. 1:33>> I don't need a new national emergency
50. 1:34every morning. I need a country
51. 1:36where I can afford to live and actually
52. 1:38enjoy being alive. You know what really
53. 1:39blows my mind? Does anybody else
54. 1:42look at this and feel like we're
55. 1:43living in some kind of matrix?
56. 1:45Cuz while we're all down here arguing
57. 1:46about who's right and who's wrong, we're
58. 1:48barely even paying attention to who's
59. 1:50benefiting from all this chaos. We're so
60. 1:52obsessed with which side is
61. 1:53winning that we've stopped asking
62. 1:55whether any of this is actually making
63. 1:56our lives better. Think about it. When
64. 1:59did politics become a sport?
65. 2:01When did we When did we start defending
66. 2:02people we've never met more passionately
67. 2:04than the people we actually live
68. 2:06alongside? Neighbors, our co-workers,
69. 2:08our families. We're all trying to make
70. 2:09it through the same life. And
71. 2:11somehow we've convinced
72. 2:12>> I think the problem, too, is that people
73. 2:15defend politicians on a personal level,
74. 2:17not on a policy level. Like basically
75. 2:19celebrity and politics, if you think of
76. 2:22it as like a Venn diagram, the two
77. 2:24circles get closer every single year.
78. 2:26>> Ourselves that half of us are the enemy.
79. 2:28Wake the up. I don't need the left
80. 2:30to win. I don't need the right to win. I
81. 2:32need the American people to stop
82. 2:34losing.
83. 2:35>> There's a lot of people that feel the
84. 2:36exact way that he does. The recent
85. 2:38election proves that. Yeah, you have you
86. 2:40have to get these people on your side
87. 2:42because if you don't, it's just not
88. 2:43going to happen.
