Day 13,723 - Post-Election Day NYC Take.mp3
Transcript
00:00:09 Kevin
Hey gang, Kevin here, Life22.
00:00:12 Kevin
And yesterday we discussed the mayor's race.
00:00:15 Kevin
Today, I kind of want to touch a little bit on the New York City.
00:00:24 Kevin
Well, I'm going to call it a fiasco.
00:00:27 Kevin
So there's some rules in politics, right?
00:00:29 Kevin
And well, there's some rules in democracy, which is there's you get what you voted for, like nice and hard.
00:00:39 Kevin
So, my concern is that, and I've heard other podcasters talk about this, and I've seen other people, in my passing say, if they elect Suran Mandami, a socialist who wants to dismantle democracy, and he's, I just, that's the part I don't understand.
00:01:03 Kevin
Like, we need to have, like, there needs to be fail-safes, right?
00:01:07 Kevin
Like,
00:01:10 Kevin
we're a democracy and like the libertarian in me, which that part of me is getting smaller and smaller as I get older and realize that like you can't have like absolute freedom is tyranny and slavery, right?
00:01:23 Kevin
Like there's no, like what if you have nothing to do?
00:01:26 Kevin
Well, then you're absolutely free.
00:01:28 Kevin
Like no, like you, you're free.
00:01:30 Kevin
You have to have a balance between freedom and duty.
00:01:33 Kevin
And we've talked about that on the channel.
00:01:35 Kevin
We've talked about, you know,
00:01:37 Kevin
You can read about it if you read the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers and kind of get a good idea of where Founding Fathers came from and what their idea was.
00:01:47 Kevin
But you can't have a system that's like, yes, you can vote for whatever you want.
00:01:50 Kevin
Well, we want the vote, the system to dissolve.
00:01:52 Kevin
Like, then you don't have a system.
00:01:55 Kevin
And then you can't play by the rules of a system that you just dissolved.
00:01:59 Kevin
And people don't seem to get that.
00:02:01 Kevin
Like, America was founded
00:02:03 Kevin
on democracy.
00:02:04 Kevin
Well, it was founded to be a republic with democratic principles, right?
00:02:12 Kevin
And at a certain point, though, it's like, hey, we all agree to do this, and we will not change it.
00:02:18 Kevin
That's the thing.
00:02:19 Kevin
It's like you have, yes, in a democracy, you have the right to change things.
00:02:25 Kevin
In A democracy, you have the right to change things.
00:02:27 Kevin
You can even upend the system.
00:02:29 Kevin
And that is like the issue.
00:02:32 Kevin
That's why they all sat around afterwards and were like, all right, we're going to vote for this thing.
00:02:35 Kevin
And if it changes, we need to completely dismantle the system and start over.
00:02:38 Kevin
Like if we're going to change it to, you know, a monarchy, then it doesn't exist.
00:02:44 Kevin
throw it all out.
00:02:45 Kevin
And you can't pretend like it still exists and it has the same rules and all that other stuff.
00:02:50 Kevin
And that's, that was the deal.
00:02:52 Kevin
That was the deal.
00:02:52 Kevin
It was the thing that like our great, great, great, great, great ancestors, the people, like even if they weren't generically related to you, if you're in this country, they are the people that came before you and they signed the contract on your behalf.
00:03:03 Kevin
The same way that none of us have physically signed the Declaration of Independence.
00:03:08 Kevin
And there are some people in this country that their lineage had never even were related to people who signed the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, but they still are governed by it.
00:03:17 Kevin
Because if you're an American, you, that's why they call them your founding fathers, right?
00:03:22 Kevin
That's so when they, you know, when they signed all this stuff in and they said, you know, this is it, like you will be a republic and you will have all these things you can vote for people to represent you and stuff like that.
00:03:35 Kevin
But you like
00:03:37 Kevin
The idea is that the intent is that you can't just elect to have the entire system upended and give them, a monarchy and provide, all these things that they were fighting against.
00:03:51 Kevin
And then all of a sudden, now you've got like people running for office, like, and you've got these like Soros judges and all these other people that are like, man, you've got,
00:04:01 Kevin
where you get all these Soros judges that are like, oh, we'll just plant this person in there and then eventually America will be communist.
00:04:07 Kevin
Well, as soon as we're a communist, we're not America anymore, at which point the Constitution ceases to exist.
00:04:12 Kevin
Like that is the weakness of all of these documents because it depends on the public.
00:04:17 Kevin
It relies on the public to embrace the fact that we are a republic, you know, embrace the fact that you can't be anything else.
00:04:27 Kevin
Like you're allowed to believe that communism is greater than
00:04:31 Kevin
a republic or a democracy or any of that other stuff, but you can't, you can't implement it into the United States.
00:04:38 Kevin
Because once you start to implement socialism and communism and all these things, it ceases to become the United States, at which point the Declaration of Independence, it's almost as if it never existed.
00:04:46 Kevin
The Constitution is almost as if it never existed.
00:04:48 Kevin
You don't have human rights at that point.
00:04:50 Kevin
Like, and that's, what, like, so like, because they, implied it,
00:04:56 Kevin
It was like when they ratified the Bill of Rights, they were like, we don't really need this though.
00:05:00 Kevin
Like 95% of them were like, we should just put it in there in case somebody does not understand that we interpreted it this way and that all rights that are not listed in, this is just a small fraction of what we consider to be the Bill of Rights.
00:05:17 Kevin
But these are like the most important if we had to write them down.
00:05:21 Kevin
But it far expands this.
00:05:22 Kevin
And now people are like,
00:05:24 Kevin
If it's not in that document, it doesn't exist, you don't have the right.
00:05:26 Kevin
And it's like, well, it's not what they said when they wrote it.
00:05:30 Kevin
And, you know, it's just, so democracies need to have a, or this republic needs to have like a fail-safe, or it needs to be reiterated by our elected officials so that we understand that they understand that we're not allowed to not be anything other than a republic.
00:05:49 Kevin
Like that's the, like, oh, why have my vote?
00:05:52 Kevin
I just voted to not have a system of voting anymore, that we can just give it to, because socialism is not a democracy, it is not a republic.
00:05:58 Kevin
You don't have the right to vote in socialism.
00:06:00 Kevin
You don't have the right to vote in communism.
00:06:02 Kevin
You don't have the right to vote in a monarchy.
00:06:04 Kevin
You don't have the right to vote in a lot of other systems.
00:06:08 Kevin
And that's why it's not a representative form of government.
00:06:11 Kevin
So you can't, you don't get it.
00:06:14 Kevin
You get like the dictatorship.
00:06:16 Kevin
Well, we want a dictatorship.
00:06:17 Kevin
And that's what they voted for in New York City, which
00:06:22 Kevin
That's an issue.
00:06:22 Kevin
But back to my main point, though, is that there's a lot of people throwing, well, that is a, that is a main point.
00:06:28 Kevin
But to another, back to the point I was originally on.
00:06:32 Kevin
The Republic were in trouble because they voted in a socialist who wants to give away free things and all this other stuff and steering us away from a Republic.
00:06:42 Kevin
public, which is essentially dismantling America.
00:06:46 Kevin
And people are just following suit with it.
00:06:51 Kevin
And other people are just like, yeah, let New York State get or let New York City get what they deserve.
00:06:55 Kevin
And it's like, yeah, like you can say that.
00:06:58 Kevin
And it like it seems justified to like, you know, watch the man who's battling bears like get eaten by a bear.
00:07:05 Kevin
Like, well, I told you dummy, don't go in there.
00:07:06 Kevin
And then he goes in there and he beats a bear and you're like, wow, that was pretty impressive.
00:07:09 Kevin
And then
00:07:11 Kevin
It's short-lived because then he gets a good a couple lands in and then the bear devours him, right?
00:07:22 Kevin
And not everybody gets out of the reverent like that, so, but New York City, as a lot of people pointed out, you don't live, if you don't live in New York City, like I live in New York, but I don't live in New York City.
00:07:36 Kevin
So let them get it nice and hard.
00:07:38 Kevin
But I'll still feel the ramifications of it because that's where most of my taxpayer dollars go.
00:07:42 Kevin
It goes to the state to get re-funneled back in New York City because they're already not sustainable.
00:07:49 Kevin
That's where it comes down to.
00:07:51 Kevin
And other people are going to feel that too because you pay federal taxes and those go to New York City and LA and all these other big cities across the country that are red-run or that are blue-run and they just
00:08:04 Kevin
They just, they run them into the ground and they can't, they can't sustain themselves.
00:08:06 Kevin
So they're like spoiled kids living at home and big daddy federal government and big state government, have to come and take care of them.
00:08:15 Kevin
And that poses a big issue.
00:08:18 Kevin
But in addition to all the ways that it could affect you, it's the, it is the similar to like, it's the symbol of capitalism.
00:08:34 Kevin
So in addition to being a republic, we're also a capitalistic form of government.
00:08:38 Kevin
So if you get rid of capitalism, you just got rid of like the United States of America.
00:08:41 Kevin
You got rid of all your freedom of speech, all your rights, all everything.
00:08:45 Kevin
It's gone.
00:08:45 Kevin
So it's the same thing.
00:08:46 Kevin
It's the same deal.
00:08:48 Kevin
It was the same deal.
00:08:49 Kevin
Hey guys, let's do this, and this.
00:08:51 Kevin
And we all promise that we're not going to switch from this.
00:08:53 Kevin
And if we do, then we don't exist.
00:08:56 Kevin
It's almost as if, you know, that was it.
00:08:57 Kevin
You know, it's just, and I just, I hate
00:09:02 Kevin
It just irks me because it's like, hey, here's the New York Stock Exchange.
00:09:07 Kevin
It's in New York.
00:09:09 Kevin
And if it's not in New York, then it's not, it doesn't exist anymore.
00:09:12 Kevin
Everything that's in it, part of it, the SEC, everything, the value of your stock, it's all worthless.
00:09:19 Kevin
Capitalism is guaranteed to collapse.
00:09:21 Kevin
Like, well, people are like, oh, Kevin, you're over exaggerating.
00:09:24 Kevin
Well, you can't sit there and say, hey, I'm writing out what this organization does with this
00:09:30 Kevin
this stock exchange, this system is.
00:09:35 Kevin
And also, it's like, it's just like when you write something into law like that, and then you say, like, this system is contingent on this, it's contingent on being in New York, it's contingent on this, it's contingent on that.
00:09:45 Kevin
So that's why when people try to move it out of New York, it's like, well, now it's not the same thing.
00:09:48 Kevin
Now, everything that's here, like, you're not allowed to do that.
00:09:51 Kevin
Like, that's, it says it right there.
00:09:53 Kevin
So it's like, and if it's not the symbol of capitalism, then you can't apply capitalism to the stock exchange.
00:10:00 Kevin
And it's like, I don't know, I just, it's also in addition to the clauses, like in addition to these legal clauses that like make it inoperable if you take down New York City or try to move it away from New York City, there's also these other things like it doesn't bode well.
00:10:19 Kevin
It's also a symbol.
00:10:20 Kevin
So a symbol is not just something that could literally be in the world, which is what I just described.
00:10:24 Kevin
It can also be something that
00:10:28 Kevin
It can also be something that is just an omen.
00:10:33 Kevin
It is just something that like is a precursor.
00:10:35 Kevin
It's foreshadowing of what's to come.
00:10:36 Kevin
And it's like, hey, we just lost the thing that makes us a capitalistic society.
00:10:44 Kevin
Well, does that not mean that the Constitution should be thrown out?
00:10:47 Kevin
Like that's, I mean, that's what these people are going for.
00:10:49 Kevin
That's why, like, and it's not the people that are the voters in New York City, because they're just like drug addicts for the most part.
00:10:54 Kevin
They're just like, oh, they're giving me free food stamps.
00:10:57 Kevin
And it's like, ha, they're just satiated by the drug they're addicted to.
00:11:00 Kevin
Or you turn around and maybe you're not satiated by the drug you're addicted to.
00:11:05 Kevin
Maybe that's not the case.
00:11:07 Kevin
Maybe they're just a feel-good person who's like, well, we need to help the poor.
00:11:11 Kevin
And so they think they're doing it for good, which is a drug all of in itself.
00:11:15 Kevin
Well, I've got to help this person because
00:11:17 Kevin
I feel it.
00:11:18 Kevin
And it's like, okay, great.
00:11:19 Kevin
Well, somebody, somebody lured you to vote for them because they allowed you to help somebody.
00:11:23 Kevin
They're going to tax the rich.
00:11:25 Kevin
All the rich people are going to leave New York City.
00:11:28 Kevin
You know, the city's going to crumble.
00:11:30 Kevin
And then it's like, hey, and when you look at the symbol of capitalism, it's just a, it looks like Snake Piskin left New York, escape from New York with, you know, the Kurt Russell movie.
00:11:41 Kevin
Like, I just, I don't know.
00:11:44 Kevin
It's,
00:11:45 Kevin
It's frustrating and I think that we just, people need to reiterate the fact that there are these like fail-safe clauses.
00:11:50 Kevin
They even write it in the Federalist papers.
00:11:52 Kevin
And they're like, in all these documents, they're like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:55 Kevin
And they're like, and please see the attached appendices.
00:11:58 Kevin
Well, you can't just sit there and like read something verbatim and then like, well, I'm going to disregard the appendices because it's not the official document.
00:12:04 Kevin
It's like, yeah, but they said in the official document, like you need to, like you need to research our discussion so you can understand the intent.
00:12:10 Kevin
And then, like, it's all-encompassing.
00:12:13 Kevin
It's an idea.
00:12:14 Kevin
It's not just the embodiment of 1 document.
00:12:16 Kevin
And that's what a lot of people don't seem to get.
00:12:19 Kevin
And a lot of people just, a lot of people just, I don't know, it's frustrating.
00:12:28 Kevin
But all right, gang, well, there's another morning rant from Kevin.
00:12:32 Kevin
There's my mom Domni spiel.
00:12:34 Kevin
And I just, you know, screw all the people out there that say thoughts and prayers.
00:12:39 Kevin
Like, what that
00:12:41 Kevin
that are mocking thoughts and prayers.
00:12:44 Kevin
Because if you can't physically be in New York to have the thoughts and prayers for all the people that are going to be directly harmed by this, because we just turned it into Soviet Russia, who are going to be starving in the gulags, then yeah.
00:12:56 Kevin
The hardworking ones too, those are the ones who are going to feel it the most.
00:12:59 Kevin
It should be the ones that are working like 80 hours a week and they can't make ends meet.
00:13:02 Kevin
And because they're working 80 hours a week, they don't qualify for any government assistance to the socialism ********.
00:13:08 Kevin
And then they're gonna, they're gonna, they work themselves to death.
00:13:10 Kevin
They might as well call it a slave camp.
00:13:12 Kevin
Like that's, a work camp.
00:13:13 Kevin
That's, all right gang.
00:13:17 Kevin
I gotta, I gotta get off this tune.
00:13:19 Kevin
We'll catch you guys next time.
00:13:20 Kevin
