Episode - 24: Questioning Leadership and Building Community Resilience
Can politicians be truly held accountable, and should their income hinge on the well-being of the communities they serve? We find ourselves grappling with this provocative question as we examine the political landscape, particularly amidst the ongoing crises in California. Our conversation questions the competence of those in power and imagines a system where the voices of the people take precedence. By reflecting on historical parallels to the revolutionary fervor of the 1700s, we seek to understand our frustrations with societal structures and explore whether the chaos around us is orchestrated or a natural consequence of our times.
Personal stories of struggle and resilience weave through our discussion, drawing from experiences of past hardships, relationship challenges, and the profound journey of parenthood. We share moments of empathy for those impacted by disasters, informed by our time aiding tornado relief efforts in Missouri. In a world where clean water access remains a growing concern, we muse over the potential for universal access to this essential resource, pondering the environmental and existential implications. This episode seeks to create a platform for voicing these pressing concerns and personal reflections, as we navigate the complexities of our shared human experience.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Hello.
Speaker 2:So watching the news, I think Let me turn this down.
Speaker 2:This is just the intro that I'm listening to. I think what we, what are we fucking doing? I'm so I guess I'm just kind of I'm torn on thoughts of what, how all this could be handled in a, because I'm not saying much shit, that's clear. What's happening in California right now? Just basically what the fuck's happening everywhere right now? I don't Does it seem worse than it ever has been the incompetence of politicians, of government. You know, I try not to pay attention to the mainstream media, but what I'm seeing is the same that I'm seeing everywhere else on social media. So I don't know and I look like shit, whatever, oh, fucking well, but I think Let me pause that my thoughts on what's happening, or I mean, obviously we know what's happening in California.
Speaker 2:It's LA's burning down. It sucks Anytime there's a natural disaster like that, and I don't even think this is fucking natural. This has been crafted, this has been implemented for a particular reason. Is it because of the people coming into this country that our current administration has kind of allowed? But or is it just because we're under mass chaos of whatever the fuck it is, chaos of whatever the fuck it is this connection to if it is a religious thing or if it's a higher power thing, or if we're on the verge of an ending or something.
Speaker 2:But I think and I may be wrong by saying this, but I've never, never, paid much attention to political shit other than what I can see and hear, and you know I don't know a whole lot about a whole lot, sorry, but Sorry, sorry. But I think that I need some fucking music. I think that we need to hold these politicians accountable. I mean jail time, you know, fine, something. I mean where do they get their fucking money? That's what I want to know. First of all, we all fucking know. Those of us that has some source of sense to our brains can see the sheep behind the wool or the wolf behind the sheep's clothing, whatever. Whatever that fucking phrase is Sorry, I'm trying to do too many things at once here. Let's see, I want to listen to I've been on this Ryan Bingham he's the guy that played Walker on Yellowstone but I just clicked on DMX. Oh, let's listen to the DMX, because you know, dmx was one that I listened to quite a bit when I was a kid growing up. So, um, I can't get things to work there we go. Um, I think we need to hold politicians accountable. We let them get away with too much and we keep fucking voting them in all the time.
Speaker 2:But I don't know what the fix is. Do we go back to a time of where we just take care of it ourselves? I don't know. I don't think there's any fucking right answer. I mean, just look at the incompetence of what's going on in California right now this fight between the state and the city and the police chief and everything.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's horrible, but I mean, if you could read between the lines and knew the history of it all, you knew this was going to happen. I mean, no doubt. Was this going to happen eventually Now? Did it manifest out of pure nature? I don't believe that. I believe that this has been concocted and planned and it's fucking working. So there's a reason why they're burning this fucking city down. There's a reason why they didn't supply good money back to the homes in Hawaii and the homes in North Carolina the homes in North Carolina and the reason why they're giving everything away to other countries and trying to take over everything else. There's something who knows what the reason is and then it's all going to drop on someone else's shoulders to take over.
Speaker 1:But, I.
Speaker 2:We need to start holding these politicians accountable For disasters like this Because of incompetence, of what they didn't do To protect everybody that they're supposed to be working for. I mean, where did we lose the disconnect of you work for us. You are voted in by the people and you work for us, not? You get to make these fucking decisions without our vote. That shouldn't be allowed. That should not be allowed. If a politician comes into office and they start slinging shit around, they need to get an approval an approval. There should not be any change for any kind of withdrawal for money from one program to another without approval from the people that it's going to affect, and not just the fucking board of people that they hang with, that they rub elbows with. You know? No, we gotta stop that bullshit. I don't know. I gotta find something else to listen to. Sorry, dmx, I need a mix. I can't. Let's see, it's one of those fucking things where you just don't know what the right thing to do is. You don't know what the right answer is.
Speaker 2:But I believe that, yeah, these fucking politicians that fail the cities, that steal the money, that walk out of office three to ten times richer than they were when they fucking went in and we all know that their pop, that their fucking, their income. It should be based on how the city performs. It should be a commission-based job based on performance. You do good, you get paid a bonus, you get you. You get what you need to survive for the year, no more, no less. You should run it as a fucking business, as a job that requires you to be a part of it. Yeah, there's a lot. I'm sure that goes on whatever. But if you're wanting to be in control of a city and a city is a fucking business you need to know how to do that, not just be some fucking person that thinks that they know that they're going to do it. Have you run a successful business before? No, no, you don't get voted in. I don't care how much you stroke my fucking cock, I'm still not voting you in.
Speaker 2:It makes no sense. It makes no sense that we allow this to continue to happen. So how do we fucking fix it? That's the question. I don't know. I feel sorry for the people that this is affecting, the hundreds of thousands of people. I mean, I've been out there in LA for when there was San Bernardino was on fire a while back, but I don't think it was. It wasn't obviously this bad. I mean, we drove through and I couldn't imagine having to live through that all the time, and I get that people have a heart. Oh, this is just fucking. There's no words. I want words. I want words. Words, words, words. Great distance. Let's try this.
Speaker 2:Baby won't you light my fire, baby won't gonna have my fire. Alright, here we go, love machine and the love machine. So I don't. I think we need to hold these politicians accountable. They need to go to fucking prison. I don't know why I'm staring at my microphone as if you know my microphone is the one that I need to be looking at. I don't know if we need to go. We need to send them to fucking prison, or they need to pay a fine. I mean, they got the fucking money. They got the money to be able to pay a fine. Pay a fine back. Pay back what you fucked up. How about that?
Speaker 2:Or you have to fucking do something to determine your fate. I mean, oh, I don't know. If you fail to do your job, you shouldn't be able to do your job and you shouldn't make the money that you're making. If you didn't do your job, you shouldn't be able to do your job and you shouldn't make the money that you're making. If you didn't do your job that you were contracted to do by the people that voted you in, then you shouldn't make that fucking money. You should pay it all back Because you fucking failed. Coming from a lazy fuck that doesn't like to work. I don't know. I'm just. I'm tired of around seeing just how horribly things are taken care of. There's so much money out there that we can fucking invent and print up and whatever else, but the things that make our lives easier aren't allowed to be free or be reasonably well maintained handled maintained, handled.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to talk like this because I think I can hear myself perfectly fine and I know it's picking me up. So we continue to do it the same fucking way, over and over and over. Nothing changes. But we but we all get confused, we all get blindsided and manipulated to vote people in that, oh yeah, they're gonna do a good job. Yeah, this one's different, this guy's completely different. He's gonna do it right for us. No, it doesn't happen. It never happens. They always fucking lie. All right, this music's fucking pitiful, is fucking pitiful. Oh, we need some good shit, man, not this bullshit. This is good shit, but it's bullshit. But good shit. Let's try this one, maybe. Alright, there we go. Perfect Immigration song or immigrant song.
Speaker 2:So I don't know. I'm just tired of all the crap that comes with this fucking life in a way, the stupid struggles that we have to fucking go through To figure it out. Why is it easier for others than it is for more? Who knows, maybe I'm wrong on that, but this whole shit with the politicians and this whole crap that's going on in California Is an incompetence of the fucking system. So the system needs to be fucking fixed. Is it going to get fixed? I don't think it's going to. I think it's just going to stay the fucking same, or it'll get changed a little bit for a couple years and it'll just go right back to the same bullshit that we're in right now. Go right back to the same bullshit that we're in right now? Or or can we be smart enough to understand that if we don't make something change, just like they did back in the fucking 1700s during the revolutionary war bullshit of these people that came over to this, you know, to try to develop the democracy that we have, the, the constitution that we have, the freedoms that were given to allow us to have the things that we have, and some people look at that as a threat too. It's weird.
Speaker 2:So I like to be able to have the fact to be able to travel where I want to travel, although I'm not allowed to travel to certain areas because of my past. So I I wish I could go to different countries and be allowed in, but I don't really think that I want to, not with how things are out there. I mean, I'm sure it's a little different, I don't know. I just fear I have distrust in people because of the life that I lived and I know my life is no different and no harder than anybody else's, and I'm sure that some of the things that I went through, some of the things that you went through, are very similar. But the things that I went through, some of the things that you went through, are very similar.
Speaker 2:But the distrust in this government fuck sticks is getting out of control. There's something major going on. There's some kind of psychological warfare that's happening. They keep fucking with us. They keep fucking with us. They've been fucking with us for fucking centuries.
Speaker 2:These people of power, these people that do this, huh, alright, well, my camera just got hot. How did my camera get hot? Just Jesus, that's horrible. So it's working, as far as I know. I believe it's working. I'm assuming it's going to work, but I don't know If not. It's okay.
Speaker 2:Now I forgot where I was. Now I forgot where I was. It doesn't really matter, I guess because I'm a nobody, I'm not a celebrity, I don't come from wealth, I don't come from fame, but I have things to say and I'm glad that I have this platform to be able to say it on my platform, my things, what I want to talk about, and no one can shut me off. You can choose to not listen, but no one can say that I can't do and say what I'm trying to say, even though it may be complete fucking nonsense and mean absolutely nothing. So I don't know. But the fact of the matter is I don't know what the fucking answer is, but I know it affects me and it makes me not really want to be a part of anything because of this.
Speaker 2:I mean I, I think because of all the trauma that I oh my god, he went through. So much trauma Goodness, not another one, I think, with all the crap that I fucking endured through life. A lot of it was self-inflicted, but most of it was my own stupidity. Isn't it the same thing? I guess it could be. But I have been screwed over so many times by people and I've been on this fucking little path of trying to figure out things with my life as to why I'm in the place that I am. And I mean, obviously I'm the factor, but what is the reasoning for I'm the factor I hide. So I think that's a lot to do with it, but I've had a lot of people just disappear from my life. Is it because of my lack of communication with them or reaching out, or is it because I did something? So I always question myself with that?
Speaker 2:I've never made good choices with relationships with other girls, with girls, with women. I mean, I'm sure I have, and I know there are always two sides to every story. I don't know, I guess I'm just misunderstood. I don't know, I guess I'm just misunderstood. Maybe I was supposed to just wander alone along by myself and just sleep with whoever I could whenever. Maybe I was meant to be a whore, that's all. You're just meant to be a whore. Some people are just meant to be whores. There have always been whores. There's always been people that have been promiscuous and whatever throughout fucking history. Maybe that's what I was meant to just be, but I do have two wonderful kids from it, so I can't really say too much about that, I guess. But I don't know. It's good times, oh, whatever. I think that's enough of my bullshit for tonight, today, whatever day it is, I hope that things settle. Of my bullshit for tonight, today, whatever day it is, I hope that things settle down out in California.
Speaker 2:I feel bad for what's happening. If there was anything that I could do to help, I would. I'm unfortunately not able to. I mean I'm sure I am, but I don't have any way of getting out there. I don't have the money To travel across country To be able to try to help and I don't have any way of getting out there. I don't have the money to travel across country to be able to try to help and I don't know what it would be that I could do.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've helped with other disasters in the past, you know, with tornadoes that happened here in Missouri. You know the Joplin tornado that took a lot of lives and destroyed a lot, but that's nothing comparable to what's going on here. I mean this is Destruction-wise. I mean that's fucking horrible. I mean a fucking city is burning down. The good news is not a lot of people have been killed, unfortunately. I mean it's bad that people have been killed and I know that they've been trying. They're probably just trying to save their house. You know, and I watch these news broadcasts and videos and stuff of people watering their houses and I just I gotta wonder if that house catches fire and burns down. I feel bad for that person because they're still gonna have to pay their fucking water bill, that they're using up all the water. I mean that would suck. I would hope that the water company would maybe let that go, but I can see them not allowing that. That's just my brain. It's where my thoughts are, because that's how stupid we are as humans that we put prices on things like this.
Speaker 2:Water's free. Everybody can get water out of the fucking ground. Why do we not allow it for everybody to do it? Why do we not allow? Are we restricting something for some reason? I mean, I think there's plenty of water on Earth for us to be able to use, so why can't we have wells for everybody, a well for every location? That's free, doesn't take much to do, to pay for, and all you gotta do is hook it up. And as long as that water, I mean, we don't fuck the water up too much.
Speaker 1:I know it's not really clean anymore.
Speaker 2:Alright, we're running out of shit. The world's ending, it's coming to an end. We better run. Where are we going to run to? Ugh, I don't know. Alright, I'm going to go, see ya.
Speaker 1:Thank you, thank you.
