00:00:01.189 --> 00:00:07.330
It amazes me sometimes how some people just react without
2
00:00:08.089 --> 00:00:13.789
doing any investigation or even doing something as simple as
3
00:00:13.869 --> 00:00:18.320
clicking on a show link and actually listening to the
4
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.839
show that's being referenced. Over the weekend, I released the
5
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:25.579
newest episode of the Right Side Radio show in which
6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:34.189
I talked about Donald Trump's promised $ 5, 000 if the GOP
7
00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:40.520
wins the midterms. I talked about how it's not financially feasible.
8
00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:45.979
I talked about how it's not a conservative tactic. I
9
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:49.619
talked about how offering to buy votes is not something
10
00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:59.299
we should, as conservatives, be endorsing or encouraging. And yet, predictably,
11
00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:04.540
because I posted a The image for the show thumbnail,
12
00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:08.909
liberals everywhere, showed up on the right side's Facebook page,
13
00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:14.090
pushing the laughing emoji and constantly saying, it's not going
14
00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:17.590
to happen, this is illegal. Things that I said on
15
00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:22.579
the show, but clearly these brain-dead liberals did not click
16
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.599
the show link or listen to it. They reacted to
17
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.519
the image and believed that that meant I was buying
18
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.049
into it or that I was supporting it. It's one
19
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.090
of those things that is laughable, but by the same token,
20
00:01:39.129 --> 00:01:41.989
there were people on our side who were like, go
21
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:46.730
President Trump. This is great. And I'm like, you also
22
00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:53.780
didn't listen to the episode. There is nothing great about
23
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.879
buying votes and the whole whataboutism that people like to
24
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.959
float out that, well, Democrats promise goods all the time
25
00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:04.780
for votes. Well, if we're going to buy into that
26
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.890
argument that it's okay for us to do it because
27
00:02:08.069 --> 00:02:13.189
they do it, then what's the purpose in voting against
28
00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:17.509
that party? If we're just going to promote socialism light,
29
00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:22.879
is it really that big of a difference? Yes, I
30
00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:26.550
believe Donald Trump's a much better option than Kamala Harris.
31
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:30.150
I also covered that in the episode where I said
32
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:34.129
that I don't regret my decision to vote for President Trump.
33
00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:38.400
But I'm also not a blind follower. I'm not somebody
34
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.520
who's going to sit back and just support every decision.
35
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.560
If things are being done wrong, it needs to be
36
00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:52.789
called out. We shouldn't be afraid to say that someone
37
00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:58.590
is wrong just because we supported them initially. It doesn't
38
00:02:58.729 --> 00:03:03.610
mean that you're upset about how you voted. None of
39
00:03:03.669 --> 00:03:06.789
that is truthful, but that's the way some people want.
40
00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:14.879
We want validation more than we want principles. We want validation.
41
00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:17.659
Look at the way that we live in the world today.
42
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.319
How many times Has there been a movie coming out,
43
00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:27.580
a TV show, a video game, a book, whatever it is,
44
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:32.189
that you were pretty excited about? You were ready to
45
00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.469
go buy that book, that video game, go see that movie,
46
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:40.129
turn on that TV show. But something prevented you from
47
00:03:40.189 --> 00:03:44.550
doing it because once you saw it got negative reviews,
48
00:03:44.569 --> 00:03:48.139
you were like, well, it must not be good. Once
49
00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:52.759
you saw that the negativity was out there, you just
50
00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:55.810
turned it off. It didn't used to be that way.
51
00:03:57.069 --> 00:04:01.629
Before the days of the internet, movie critics, television critics,
52
00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:09.009
book critics, game critics were not as readily available. So
53
00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:13.460
we tried the things out ourselves. And a lot of
54
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:17.360
times we found movies that we truly enjoyed, books that
55
00:04:18.389 --> 00:04:21.000
are still on our bookshelves, games that we still go
56
00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:24.240
back to play, TV shows that we bought box sets
57
00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:28.360
of because we loved. But if you go back now
58
00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:30.439
and you look at their reviews, you see that they
59
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.819
were reviewed terribly. It didn't matter back then because it
60
00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:39.290
wasn't right at our fingertips on our phone. We were
61
00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:43.370
able to turn that stuff on. Now, we want validation.
62
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.600
We want somebody to say that we were right in
63
00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:50.759
liking this thing. That we were right in wanting to
64
00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:56.740
purchase this. It's no different when it comes to politics nowadays.
65
00:04:56.860 --> 00:05:02.439
We now live in a bubble where we need validation
66
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:05.189
at all times. We need somebody to come back and
67
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:09.009
say that we were right about this guy. You don't
68
00:05:09.110 --> 00:05:16.009
need that. And The validation that you seek also allows
69
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:21.040
you to excuse things that you should vehemently disagree with
70
00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:27.379
because it's your guy, your party. It's part of that
71
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.959
whole tribalism thing that I've talked about so many times
72
00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:35.250
that is so frustrating, but it dies deeper than just
73
00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:39.350
being a part of a tribe. It's about validation. We
74
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:44.990
won't To hear other people tell us we're right. We
75
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:49.529
crave it. Look, we all want acceptance. We all want
76
00:05:50.990 --> 00:05:54.000
to be patted on the back for our decisions. No
77
00:05:54.009 --> 00:05:56.240
matter how much you say you don't, it still feels good.
78
00:05:56.509 --> 00:05:58.439
If you're at work and your boss comes up to
79
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.240
you and says, great job. Even if you don't like
80
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.379
your boss, it still feels good. But it feels even
81
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:11.040
better when you like your boss. But you're still seeking validation.
82
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:15.589
We seek it from our parents, whether it's on a
83
00:06:15.649 --> 00:06:22.879
report card or a chosen profession. We seek it everywhere
84
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.040
we can get it. You go to church, you did
85
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.139
something good during the week that draws attention. You're hoping
86
00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:35.100
that your church peers will point it out and tell
87
00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:40.500
you what a great job you did. Validation, people. That
88
00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:45.779
is what we're seeking. That is the reality of everything
89
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:51.980
that has become. So yes, click on the show link,
90
00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:55.850
listen to it, before you start to think that it's
91
00:06:55.870 --> 00:07:00.649
going one way or another. And also understand, it's okay
92
00:07:00.689 --> 00:07:07.389
to disagree. If you disagree with the people that you elected,
93
00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:10.769
then it is your obligation to say that. That doesn't
94
00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:13.519
mean you don't like them. That doesn't mean you don't
95
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.279
support them. We need to get away from this mindset
96
00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:24.839
that any criticism of the president is a means of disrespect.
97
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:29.319
Because I'm sorry, I didn't elect a ruler. I didn't
98
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.069
elect someone because I believe that he is the most
99
00:07:34.129 --> 00:07:37.129
perfect being in the world. Because he is absolutely not.
100
00:07:39.629 --> 00:07:43.199
So therefore, when they make decisions or say things I
101
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.939
disagree with, it is imperative that we call that out.
102
00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:53.420
And if you need validation so dearly that when someone
103
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.790
does call out their mistakes or their flaws or the
104
00:07:56.850 --> 00:08:00.129
things that they want to do, they just fly in
105
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.990
the face of the very reasons we voted for them
106
00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.410
in the first place, then you're the one with the problem.
107
00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.680
And you're the one that's going to wake up one
108
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.740
day and say, wow, when did the Republican Party lose
109
00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:18.670
its way? When did it start going down this path?
110
00:08:20.410 --> 00:08:22.350
And then you'll go look in the mirror and realize
111
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:27.350
it was when you started to excuse things that you
112
00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:32.529
fundamentally disagreed with merely because it was your guy doing it.
113
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:38.179
This has been Morning Coffee with the Right Side. And
114
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.929
I'm your host, Jack Fairchilds. And we're a part of
115
00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:44.409
the Midnight Ride Network.

times we found movies that we truly enjoyed, books that
55
00:04:18.389 --> 00:04:21.000
are still on our bookshelves, games that we still go
56
00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:24.240
back to play, TV shows that we bought box sets
57
00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:28.360
of because we loved. But if you go back now
58
00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:30.439
and you look at their reviews, you see that they
59
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.819
were reviewed terribly. It didn't matter back then because it
60
00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:39.290
wasn't right at our fingertips on our phone. We were
61
00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:43.370
able to turn that stuff on. Now, we want validation.
62
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.600
We want somebody to say that we were right in
63
00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:50.759
liking this thing. That we were right in wanting to
64
00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:56.740
purchase this. It's no different when it comes to politics nowadays.
65
00:04:56.860 --> 00:05:02.439
We now live in a bubble where we need validation
66
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:05.189
at all times. We need somebody to come back and
67
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:09.009
say that we were right about this guy. You don't
68
00:05:09.110 --> 00:05:16.009
need that. And The validation that you seek also allows
69
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:21.040
you to excuse things that you should vehemently disagree with
70
00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:27.379
because it's your guy, your party. It's part of that
71
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.959
whole tribalism thing that I've talked about so many times
72
00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:35.250
that is so frustrating, but it dies deeper than just
73
00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:39.350
being a part of a tribe. It's about validation. We
74
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:44.990
won't To hear other people tell us we're right. We
75
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:49.529
crave it. Look, we all want acceptance. We all want
76
00:05:50.990 --> 00:05:54.000
to be patted on the back for our decisions. No
77
00:05:54.009 --> 00:05:56.240
matter how much you say you don't, it still feels good.
78
00:05:56.509 --> 00:05:58.439
If you're at work and your boss comes up to
79
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.240
you and says, great job. Even if you don't like
80
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.379
your boss, it still feels good. But it feels even
81
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:11.040
better when you like your boss. But you're still seeking validation.
82
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:15.589
We seek it from our parents, whether it's on a
83
00:06:15.649 --> 00:06:22.879
report card or a chosen profession. We seek it everywhere
84
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.040
we can get it. You go to church, you did
85
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.139
something good during the week that draws attention. You're hoping
86
00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:35.100
that your church peers will point it out and tell
87
00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:40.500
you what a great job you did. Validation, people. That
88
00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:45.779
is what we're seeking. That is the reality of everything
89
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:51.980
that has become. So yes, click on the show link,
90
00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:55.850
listen to it, before you start to think that it's
91
00:06:55.870 --> 00:07:00.649
going one way or another. And also understand, it's okay
92
00:07:00.689 --> 00:07:07.389
to disagree. If you disagree with the people that you elected,
93
00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:10.769
then it is your obligation to say that. That doesn't
94
00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:13.519
mean you don't like them. That doesn't mean you don't
95
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.279
support them. We need to get away from this mindset
96
00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:24.839
that any criticism of the president is a means of disrespect.
97
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:29.319
Because I'm sorry, I didn't elect a ruler. I didn't
98
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.069
elect someone because I believe that he is the most
99
00:07:34.129 --> 00:07:37.129
perfect being in the world. Because he is absolutely not.
100
00:07:39.629 --> 00:07:43.199
So therefore, when they make decisions or say things I
101
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.939
disagree with, it is imperative that we call that out.
102
00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:53.420
And if you need validation so dearly that when someone
103
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.790
does call out their mistakes or their flaws or the
104
00:07:56.850 --> 00:08:00.129
things that they want to do, they just fly in
105
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.990
the face of the very reasons we voted for them
106
00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.410
in the first place, then you're the one with the problem.
107
00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.680
And you're the one that's going to wake up one
108
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.740
day and say, wow, when did the Republican Party lose
109
00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:18.670
its way? When did it start going down this path?
110
00:08:20.410 --> 00:08:22.350
And then you'll go look in the mirror and realize
111
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:27.350
it was when you started to excuse things that you
112
00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:32.529
fundamentally disagreed with merely because it was your guy doing it.
113
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:38.179

114
