Try That in a Small Town Podcast

Navigating the Crimson Tsunami, Political Divides, and a Call for Unity :: Ep 29 Try That in a Small Town Podcast
In the wake of Election 2024, is the crimson tsunami a wake-up call for American politics? Join us as we explore the fascinating shifts in voter dynamics and the colorful interplay of urban and rural perspectives. We kick things off with a cheeky nod to pop culture icons like Beyoncé, whose glamorous lives seem worlds away from everyday struggles. Dive into our candid recount of election night jitters, the divide between city slickers and country folks, and how these elections are redefining core American values.
Our conversation takes a dramatic turn as we tackle what some are calling a political 'Common Sense Wave.' This episode uncovers the intriguing rise of a movement drawing in diverse groups like independents, black men, and Hispanics, all seeking solutions for pressing issues like inflation and border security. We don’t shy away from critiquing the Democratic Party's pitfalls, especially in losing touch with mainstream concerns over extreme left ideologies. This discussion is a call for unity that transcends party loyalty, urging a return to shared, pragmatic values.
We also touch on how political divisions seep into personal relationships, complicating dialogues and straining friendships. The social changes of recent years have polarized conversations, stretching back to the Obama era and aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. But amidst the tensions, a sense of hope peeks through—a belief in the enduring spirit of democracy and the importance of civic engagement. Whether it's through laughter or introspection, this episode serves as a reminder of our core commitment to unity, respect, and the democratic process.

So they bring out Beyonce. Which who's listening to Beyonce thinking, yeah, she understands what we're going through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she knows how much groceries are.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:She didn't even buy her own groceries.
Speaker 3:How could the most you know pissed off, bitter women in the world have names like Whoopi, sonny and Joy?
Speaker 4:That's hysterical. The heartland of this country is smart. They're smart and they have a lot of values and they'll deal with a lot. But telling them that you're not feeling inflation, it's not that bad when they can't afford food.
Speaker 5:The Try that in a Small Town Podcast begins now.
Speaker 1:Try that in a small town. We are Try that in a Small Town podcast. I'm Kurt. I'm going to introduce myself first. It's all I do. I'm going to call you by your real names, kelly and Neil. That's so boring, and we are recording from the Patriot Mobile Studios.
Speaker 3:How does that feel? Patriot Mobile man, it feels good, it sounds good.
Speaker 4:First day it's like we're official, I know.
Speaker 1:I wish there was something to talk about this week. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:Something current.
Speaker 1:Maybe we'll set it up like this. Even from the beginning, we said that this and it isn't a political podcast, no, but with, like, I mean, we did write the song, tried that in a small town, and we all have beliefs and core values, and that's kind of where we are with this thing, and the election isn't necessarily about what whose foreign policy is better. There was just like some core values that I think that we all felt, uh, which is why we voted the way we did, and maybe I'll set up like this I get a lot of people saying they don't feel comfortable with how I voted or questioning why I voted the way I did, and maybe we'll talk about that a little bit today. But yes, if you've been under a rock and you don't know Trump, did win the election.
Speaker 3:You actually have people friends.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. This hits pretty close to home and maybe we'll get there in this podcast. Do you have lib friends? I do really. I mean listen. There's all kinds of people in the world and there's good people, you can't act.
Speaker 3:Surprised by that well, I mean I know we know lib people, but actual friends for sure.
Speaker 1:Well, really, yes, for sure, I mean we're entertainment industry.
Speaker 1:I mean, you got it yeah, and the unfortunate part is, what I was going to say is that I'm okay with them standing up for their rights and what they believe in. The problem is it's just so condescending that they don't think that we have rights. We have feelings about how to vote too. So, uh, I don't want to get too deep in here too quick. Oh well, let's go, it's all right. So, hey, I know you guys were a little bit, um, nervous. I got nervous, actually, before the election. Uh, how did you feel the night of the election? Did you feel good about it? Did you? When did you start to feel better about it?
Speaker 4:well, it's no secret, I would, I would talk to all you guys about this. I uh, when you know, let's be honest, um, we didn't have a great second debate and after that second debate, you're talking the first with kamala.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, okay um, yeah, I didn't feel great after that, and I don't think any of us did. I know I didn't. I felt like she was. You know I knew the people that were going to vote for Trump weren't going to change. I was always worried about who can we pull in? And as it got closer to the election I was definitely. One day I'd feel good. One day I would feel like I don't know, maybe she's going to take this and didn't have a real pulse for what was happening. You know.
Speaker 1:I hear you Somebody's texting me. Sorry about that, it's Neil. You're probably one of the most confident. I feel like you and I felt confident for a while, even though right before the election I started to get a little nervous. What were you thinking?
Speaker 3:I think it was like watching a football game or something.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It was for me. Well, I mean, you're nervous but you think your team is going to win, but anything can happen.
Speaker 3:I wasn't feeling much anxiety at all. I was filled with it.
Speaker 4:Well, I can see you, I was filled with it and there's. I guess you know I'm no problem saying I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I was praying how it would go, or I was praying. I was worried because I was like, what if everybody does vote for Kamala? And then what does that say about the American value To me personally? So it made me worried If we lose. I was worried.
Speaker 3:Were you driving your family crazy pacing around. I was by myself.
Speaker 1:Really, neil asked a good question before we were there and, kayla, maybe you can start with the answer. He wanted to know, behind the scenes, what were you doing. Where were you sitting? Were you wearing pajamas? Were you comfortable? Were you nervous? Were you pacing Caleb? What about?
Speaker 2:We were kind of tailgated. I had mom come over and she brought some heavy foods like Johnny Mazzetti, and so it was like a tailgate for a football game. Yeah, it was a very long football game. I don't sit down during football games. Or when the election results were coming in, I was pacing back and forth and very nervous, like Tully, you know, very nervous early on Because as the night went on, the only states that they couldn't call were the only states that Trump needed. You know Right.
Speaker 2:So you get more worried. You start thinking okay, they're going to wait and see how far behind and then those states are going to come in. Oh whoa, he got killed in these particular states. So it didn't feel great and it got later and later. So I started to go to bed and still turned it on back there. Then it felt a lot better when Georgia came in. When Georgia came in, I was like okay, that's great. Very shortly after that, pennsylvania came in and it was over.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Pennsylvania, but then it kind of ended, yeah, and then your phone's blowing up and everybody's texting. It was one of the greatest nights of my life.
Speaker 3:I actually went to bed before they called Georgia. I was at hunting camp in Illinois. Oh that's right. So you were hunting, yeah, and I was sipping on a whiskey there watching and I'm like, oh, he's got Georgia. And before they even called it I went to bed. I was so freaking tired because the weight of that whole thing, all of the political fatigue and all the theater leading up to the election, was exhausting.
Speaker 4:I stayed up all the way until his speech at the end. 2, 3 in the morning whatever.
Speaker 1:We were texting at 2 am still you know I wore everyone out.
Speaker 4:I started by myself. My daughter came home from her practice and she watched it for a while and I wore her out. And then my son came home from his rehearsal and he went upstairs and watched it because I was full of stress, full of it Sweating Did you?
Speaker 1:eat anything, nope.
Speaker 4:Couldn't eat, couldn't eat, yeah, then Doreen just sat there, yeah, until it started to unfold and I was just, um, felt really really good about it, as it started to, you know, started to kind of take shape. You could see, you could, you could feel that it was starting to move in a good direction and, um, I mean, I'm felt like christmas morning was anybody surprised that he got the popular vote.
Speaker 1:I mean, I kind of was actually sure?
Speaker 1:no, yeah, especially with california I was completely surprised and thrilled yeah yeah, because for being told that you're a Nazi or all of that stuff. Sometimes you buy into what the media is saying or not buy into it, but you just get beat down so much that you think that we're in the minority, right, and that wasn't the case, right? It reminds me what's the Tom Hanks movie where the guy says, uh, I'm the captain now. It's like we're the majority now. Oh yeah, like yeah, yes, that's what it was, captain who?
Speaker 4:captain phillips, not captain ron captain chuck but it's like okay we're not crazy.
Speaker 1:This is the majority of people and actually, if you exclude inner city LA, or inner city Chicago or New York City which, by the way, still leaned a little bit left the rest of the country, that's a big majority.
Speaker 4:Let me ask you guys a question. I've been waiting to ask this. So you know it was a red wave, but I don't even look at it like that. It wasn't just a red wave, it was much more than that, because we actually have an opportunity to. We we pulled. A lot of people in independence came, came through. You know, black men came through, a lot of people came through, hispanics Everybody came, came through and and voted let's keep them. Yeah, and how do we keep them? That's the thing. Because it can. They can easily go away next round.
Speaker 1:Well, it's because this isn't a republican thing like a typical, what you think republican. This is a common sense wave common sense and yeah, it's a ne, it's a crimson tsunami.
Speaker 4:It is, but it's a common sense. But that's the thing. Though Dave Portnoy, barstool Sports, said it best, he goes. They gave us no choice. That's just the truth. That is the truth. And to think it's a red wave to me is small thinking it's not a red wave.
Speaker 1:It's bigger than a red wave. No, because Elon Musk isn't a conservative. No, he hasn't been that way.
Speaker 3:Joe Rogan.
Speaker 4:RFK came over.
Speaker 1:Yeah, rfk, I mean so it's yeah.
Speaker 4:It's a movement, it's a big moment and I'm hoping that the administration can keep everyone and keep moving that forward, because the message is clear. You know, my favorite thing thing I've had to listen. Just since he got elected, I've been listening to some CNN and MSNBC just to hear some of the meltdown and it's been fun. It's been, I'm not gonna lie, it's been kind of fun. My favorite thing they're talking about is let's do the autopsy of why it happened. This is really it can end it right now. For you, it's simple. People felt what was happening inflation, the border, and to tell, and to tell your base that no, that's not real democrats cut. They kept saying that no, in inflation, it's not that bad.
Speaker 1:The immigration is not insulted the american public.
Speaker 4:They insult us, the, the heartland of this country, is smart. They're smart and and they have a lot of values and they'll deal with a lot. But telling them that you're not feeling inflation, it's not that bad when they're going, when they can't afford food, um, and it's really pinching you know their paycheck.
Speaker 2:It is insulting well, and they had no message. You know, as kamala harris, the whole thing was just about bashing trump and he's a nazi and he's going to do this and trying to scare everybody, you know, saying this is what's going to happen when he gets in, like hello, he's already been in. Nothing tragic happened, great things happened, you know. So that was already the test model. I mean, and your common list test model was Joe Biden. So we didn't want that and there's still no messaging. And when Kurt and you were saying they're calling him Nazis and anybody who voted for him nazis after he won, the next day, all that went away. Even biden says it's gonna be fine, we're america. Yeah, it's kind of like wait, I thought we're all gonna die yeah, most of the liberals out there and the common supporters.
Speaker 3:They knew that there was a problem at the border. They've known it. They don't give a shit, it's all about you're sadly right they know. They know they see all that. They know there's too many people coming across the border. They know that. You know drag queens dancing in front of children ain't right. They know that, but they don't care. I don't know if they know it.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they know that. They know that's not natural.
Speaker 3:No, no, here's the thing, though, here's the thing you think, they think, that's okay.
Speaker 2:I think, yeah, they preach on it. I mean, I think some of them think it's okay.
Speaker 3:No, I'm talking about just general joke. Liberal public. I don't know when they see a dude dressed up as a woman dancing in front of an elementary school.
Speaker 2:I know they know that's wrong, but they don't care, but if everybody was against it, nobody would be for it. So somebody's for it For sure.
Speaker 3:No for it. So somebody's for it for sure. No, they're for the person that's okay with it. I know that they know it's wrong, but they don't care, they're going to vote that way anyway. I don't know in spite of it, there's too many, there's too many, there's too much, there's too much evil on that side going on for them not to recognize that it's unnatural and it's not right, and they voted for her anyway well, that's not.
Speaker 3:That's not why they lost the election well, a lot of it is, you know, I think, because a lot of people went in there and pushed no, I mean, I know, I know from for my having a daughter and this was an issue for me and this is how I knew it was going to connect.
Speaker 4:I have a daughter and and one of the issues for me was was you know boys and girls sports that?
Speaker 3:too boy boys just another one. Bathrooms another one on the list. There's another one on the list, but for me you the democratic party, which which, to me, is.
Speaker 4:I don't even like using the word democrat and liberal in the same sentence, because to me they're different, you know? Yeah, so, but that administration, let the far left part of it push it way far to the left, and that's America is not there. No, they're not there and they're so disconnected with their base that you don't have to sit there and wonder why you lost. It's very simple. It's very simple. Look at the independents, the people. That that's what you got to look at. And we got them, and I think they gave them to us.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because it came down to common sense I think there were a ton of a ton of people on the left that voted for Trump and didn't didn't let anybody know about it. They went behind the curtain and they voted for Trump because they just can't vote for everything she stood for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that's right. I and I think, like telly said, the, the extreme left hijacked the party. That's what happened and they just took control of it and people, they just went like, so well, I'm democrats, I guess I'm gonna, I'm gonna vote. So I'm sure there were a lot of them that did vote on the left because that's what their parents did or that's what they've always done, and they just did it and they might have liked all the stuff, but they, they hated trump, so they didn't want to do that. But I think also, trump won over a lot of the people because, because some of the people on the left couldn't go to the extreme left and I said, all right, I'm gonna, we got to come back a little bit, which I think it's going to be a great lesson ultimately for the democratic party to understand why they lost and they are not communicating with the American public at all.
Speaker 4:It was amazing to see, you know, when America goes off the rails or it's feeling it's going off the rails, in which we all felt like this is going off the rails, you, you don't have to be on this side of it to see that we're going off the rails. It don't have to be on this side of it to see that we're going off the rails. It's so uplifting to me, though, to know that when our people feel that they fix it, that was the greatest thing for me to see the popular vote come in and to see you know what we're not gonna let this slide off the rails. We're going to pull back, we're going to fix it. A little self-correcting moment.
Speaker 4:Yeah it's an amazing process and for all the listening to the threat to democracy which blows my mind, because really the only threat to democracy was Kamala bypassing it to get on the ticket, yeah, you know, it's so obvious when somebody says you're a threat to democracy, and they actually are the ones that were the threat. That skipped it.
Speaker 3:That goes back to my point. With what Kayla was saying, they will say and do anything in political warfare. I mean 100%. I didn't hear anything that we said or that Trump said about them was a lie. All of it was true. We weren't making up shit just to get elected. They make up shit and they'll say and do anything to get elected and lost them.
Speaker 4:Look at what it did. Now you know Joe Biden's the happiest man in America. That's right.
Speaker 1:He came up there skipping yeah, and his speech the other day, completely coherent.
Speaker 4:He looked like he was 55 years old, you know. But the way that happened, you know, it's like. You know how's he feel. I mean, they're blaming him. He's on cloud nine, right? Yeah, he's the only one to beat trump.
Speaker 2:That's such sweet justice. He can take that to his grave.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, it's a success, it's.
Speaker 2:He went to delaware, he's good yeah, you guys, you should have kept me in See what happened and she would never, you know.
Speaker 4:and the thing is, the liberal media is melting down, of course, but they're blaming. You know, they're calling it the bro movement and all this stuff and talking about going on rogue, and she could have did the same thing.
Speaker 1:Let everybody know she couldn't.
Speaker 4:But she could have used that platform whenever she wanted and she just was so afraid to say something wrong or not say anything. She ended up not saying anything and they just assumed that they would vote for her because she was a black woman, and that really pissed off a lot of black people. They're smart, everybody's. Yeah, I'm gonna vote for you just because you're you're you're black like where were you, where were you?
Speaker 1:kurt I was upstairs. We have like a tv room. I was up there and somebody mentioned you, kind of said it's kind of like a game for you. That's kind of how I get. If, like, the dolphins are in a big game, like Like I actually don't want to talk, I don't want to. I just kind of like focused and I just want to see it play out and I'm kind of nervous. So I was up there, me and my wife Kelly were up there, and we're just watching. I'm just kind of in silence. I did eat before, not during. I couldn't eat. I couldn't eat during Felt nause.
Speaker 4:I couldn't eat. I couldn't eat during. I felt nauseous. I was so Anyone who knows me knows this. Anyway, I am wound tight.
Speaker 1:I don't think anybody knows that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean the listening people may or may not know but I'm stressed out 100%.
Speaker 3:What's next for you? I mean, if that stresses you, what other things stress you?
Speaker 4:out Everything stresses me out, everything Work. The election was a huge stress Work stresses you out.
Speaker 3:How can work, stress you? You have a tech.
Speaker 4:It takes care of all your shit, that's easy, man, you don't make mistakes on stage.
Speaker 3:It's true, you've got Al Dean's new single that's out right now.
Speaker 1:Whiskey drink Sounds great Speaking of that single that's out right now whiskey drink and sounds great, yeah, sounds great. So I'm saying, and you're stressed well, I well, and maybe to slightly veer off topic with that, it's like I think, well, I think the thing is it's like no stress, because I know you care about the country. I get it, we do, but you know with the stress with work.
Speaker 1:It's like there's a window for us to provide for our families jason isn't going to tour forever uh, not going to put out singles. Like there's a window for us to provide for our families jason isn't going to tour forever. Uh, not going to put out singles forever. There's a window for us to provide for our family, so we have to make the most of that window get that so it's like you know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they're stressed yeah, and I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I wasn't stressed, really just sit around and chill and never even know.
Speaker 2:It's just a wiring everybody's got a different wiring.
Speaker 3:It's not, I'm wired, I'm hot, it's not worry, you don't worry, I do, you do worry, he does any kind of stress just in that category.
Speaker 4:Yeah it's, it's pretty big time the only time we're rearing, off course, no, it's it's just fricking great.
Speaker 3:What are you talking about?
Speaker 4:The only time I really feel and I forget about the stress is when I'm in the mountains, I'm skiing and my kids are out there in the middle of nowhere and it goes away, you know it's just music.
Speaker 1:Everybody needs that, though. It's just the music business.
Speaker 3:I know we all worry and stress every now and then. It's just the music business.
Speaker 4:Good, everybody needs that, though it's just the music business. I know we all worry and stress every now and then. Yeah, it's just the way I am. I've always been that way, though I'm constant and worried, living in some sort of state of worry.
Speaker 2:I do too quite a bit.
Speaker 3:But, it definitely has a physical Kalo's, a people pleaser.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you guys have that in common, for sure that's one of our special traits like we maybe even the three of us, but at least the two of us like, even when you leave this podcast, we'll drive home think did I say what? I say something wrong? Should we edit this? And then neil sitting there watching football anything I think about it. He's on to the next thing, which is great. God, I wish I had that wiring. But I do stress about stuff and then about income and songs getting recorded and providing for your family and stuff.
Speaker 2:It doesn't help anything, but no, but it kind of does. Maybe it makes you work harder, I don't know, because if you're not, if I wasn't stressed at all, I feel like I would be lazy and the fact that I am stressed makes me work I will admit, after the election was over that night, of course, I went to bed before everybody else did, because I felt really good about it.
Speaker 3:The next morning, when I got up to go hunting, I felt a hundred pounds lighter. Yeah, all this, I will admit that. So I was holding on to something and he went. Whether, whether it was worry or anxiety, I don't know what it was, but it was yeah yeah, but it just went well. It was gone and I felt so like what's that feel, it was a good morning.
Speaker 2:No, it was it was good, it was so good.
Speaker 3:Maybe I need to take you hunting.
Speaker 4:We were texting at like 2, 3 in the morning, yeah, so went to bed at like 3. I was up at 6 with the news on again.
Speaker 1:My coffee, making sure that it didn't change overnight.
Speaker 2:Well, it's like watching game highlights.
Speaker 5:You know, your team.
Speaker 2:you just watch it over and over again.
Speaker 3:That's a good point, I tell you what I did not want to hear. The next morning I'm like okay, so it's over, we won. The Kamala ship has sailed, let's don't talk about her anymore. But everybody was still talking about it.
Speaker 2:I was like why are we talking about? I was getting so wound up about why it was.
Speaker 4:It was upsetting me listening to to the media wonder why they lost guys. This should be so clear to you. Yeah, it's so that you don't have to look at any polls. You don't have. You just need to look at the last four years and you can stop wondering why, jimmy, uh, jimmy kimmel. You can stop wondering why, jimmy Kimmel. You can stop wondering why. Oh my gosh, what an answer. Now we played. Here's the thing. We have a history with Jimmy. Of course, back before politics were polarizing like this, we played his show a lot nine times, eight times, always nice.
Speaker 1:And he was great to us. But yeah, that meltdown Jeez. That was embarrassing to us. But yeah, that meltdown jeez.
Speaker 2:That was embarrassing.
Speaker 1:It is embarrassing, it's so embarrassing, but what really, as our producer Jim would say, grinds my gears? Or as Peter Griffin, I guess, would say it's so condescending that they think they know better than you.
Speaker 4:And it doesn't matter, it's so complicated. The popular vote. I don't know what the count is now, because Arizona and Nevada get your shit together, guys, it'll take a week to get the results in.
Speaker 3:Well, it's always going to be the swing states that are going to be the last to come in, I think it's planned. I think the media plans.
Speaker 4:All this, no, Arizona and Nevada. I don't know why they do this.
Speaker 3:They only air as long as we can.
Speaker 1:There's some of that but not the whole week, not these two states.
Speaker 4:This is ridiculous, but anyway, he's going to win the popular vote by over $5 million. I was hoping guys, look, we're not the ones that are losing our minds here there's a problem.
Speaker 1:There is a problem, and let me ask this because and I'll tell you how I feel about it what do you say to the people? I know what neil will say to the other you know, to the people that say maybe they need a break from you or I. I just don't understand why you'd vote the way that you did. I don't feel comfortable being around you or following you on social media for sure. Like what would be your response to that. Kalo, you've got the biggest heart here.
Speaker 2:See you later. No, I enjoy talking about politics, religion, bible, all that stuff. It's interesting to me, so I like that I have. In my experience. I found it hard for a hardcore left-leaning liberal to have an actual conversation Very difficult because you can't get a point in, because I have experienced people talking to me as if if you're on the right, you're, you're an ignorant redneck and that's. That's the people that I've talked to. That's what they think. So whatever I say, especially if I have any kind of twang, I sound stupid and and just uninformed and unintelligent and none of my points matter and I'm voting for a crazy person, you know, and but that's all they've got.
Speaker 2:They can't go deep into the conversation, even if you just say one thing, like like Neil saying, like the border, just one thing, and say, well, why would you let millions of people over? And they're not, they're not vetted at all. I mean some of those people from all the countries, they're going to dodge the question. You know and and you know the just the, the normal things we would think of somebody, not all somebody, some country is sending people over to eventually do something to america, right, everybody's not coming over here for education and work and everything like that. It, it feel, and I say what is the point? Why would you do that? Why would you want your family threatened by people you don't even know? That some of them have criminal records and stuff like that? You want them living in your neighborhood and they don't say anything. They don't they. They just say say well, trump, they go, they go back to that.
Speaker 3:You know it's just that. Trump wants to build, build a wall, and and there's this country is found on emirates to blame him for all the yeah in the country coming over the country. Country is founded on immigrants. They'll say and do anything.
Speaker 2:But it's been the proper way and so you just can't win any kind of argument. So I have friends or past friends that you can say you're friends, but we don't hang out anymore because politics started getting very heated and intense right around Obama era, probably you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And where it got to be, where you used to be able to talk about it and just go fishing or whatever.
Speaker 3:Agree to disagree.
Speaker 2:And just agree to disagree.
Speaker 3:Those were the good old days. It's different Because the social and moral issues weren't such a big player 20 years ago.
Speaker 4:Well, that's what I mean by them pushing it so far. Left those days of being able to just talk about it and forget. You talked about it because it was just it would affect you, but most of the time it would affect you in ways that you didn't feel necessarily. You were worried about things, but it felt like common sense was at least existing on both ends.
Speaker 3:I think the Democrats were really confused there for a long time whether or not to team up with the far left. You had Democrats and you had the far left extreme far left.
Speaker 4:Do you guys feel like what happened in COVID pushed it over I?
Speaker 3:don't know.
Speaker 1:I just think it went off the rails. I think the Democrats had a hard time. It did go off the rails and it's like speaking of COVID, it's like people, what I've seen in text, I can't believe. You vote the way you do. Uh, my rights are going to be taken away, or my feelings are this out of the other. How about us? How about my feelings? How, covid, I was forced I'm not saying personally, but we were forced to get a vaccine. Or you're telling me my son has to wear a mask in school for two years. How about, uh? How about my rights? Uh, for free speech, if I say something online and it gets taken down or flagged, well, you're a racist. That's what I'm saying. People think that their rights and their feelings are more important than mine, and the thing is listen everybody's got.
Speaker 3:It's over. What's that? It's over. All that's going away. We have shifted. The wind has changed.
Speaker 2:I think that there's been an awakening, absolutely, but what do you say is going away?
Speaker 3:No, it's going to slowly start going away.
Speaker 2:But what?
Speaker 3:All of this stuff being called these names and being our rights and all that stuff. I wish that was the truth.
Speaker 4:I don't know, I think.
Speaker 3:It's going to roll off.
Speaker 1:I mean the threat to democracy was saying I can't go to church during COVID.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and we learned a huge lesson during COVID Everybody did, and that was a big factor. The bullshit factor Everybody called bullshit on it.
Speaker 1:It's a good point, because that's when things started going whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happening?
Speaker 4:We had a lot of social issues. Yeah, the George Floyd incident, which was like at that time during COVID. It was a lightning rod. I feel like we went completely off a cliff. I feel like that's when things got really crazy. And then you had the vaccine issue and schools. And I know, Kurt, my daughter and your son are very close in age and I'll tell you right now, you know my daughter and your son are very close in age and I'll tell you right now, my, you know my daughter really affected her in the short-term learning process a hundred percent and I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1:I know my son as well. I can't imagine how many people that affected.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's no doubt like that definitely affected things. My son is a little older so he kind of slid through it, but it really affected them and it uncalled for. I tell you what I'm not going to miss. You know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1:I know, but I can't wait.
Speaker 4:Good riddance to never seeing Tim Walz again. He's like a cartoon character. He is kind of a cartoon character. He is. He is kind of a cartoon character.
Speaker 3:He was very entertaining. Well, he's Elmer Fudd, he was very entertaining.
Speaker 4:But if you ever want to see another bad decision you know I'm not saying Shapiro would have swung it for her Obviously not Because I was thinking, okay, well, she goes to, shapiro probably pulls in PA. Obviously not Because I was thinking, okay, well, she goes to, Shapiro probably pulls in PA. Well, that is true, and maybe the blue wall doesn't fall quite as easily.
Speaker 3:You know who the real loser is in this. My brother told me this what's this, mike Pence? He might be rethinking that. Huh maybe Trump wouldn't have said maybe.
Speaker 2:I shouldn't have took this stance, yeah well.
Speaker 4:Pence is like Pence is gone anyway, I know, but now it's like.
Speaker 1:Everybody calls Trump such a liar and stuff. You were talking about Tim Walz. It's like how much can that guy lie and people be okay with that? Unbelievable, Unbelievable.
Speaker 4:Well, and apparently, and people saw it, thank God, because I'm looking at him saying and now the only thing worse than Tim Walz is his wife Dude she's actually, it's going away.
Speaker 1:No you're right, neil. You're right, it is going away. It's over.
Speaker 3:Listen, that ship has sailed Can you all imagine. Hey, how about this? Can you imagine how many kids were probably conceived on election night? Republican kids, I don't know. Tons of them, not in these households.
Speaker 1:Not him? I know not him. They're all going to be born.
Speaker 2:Stressed out, honey. All these kids will be born stressed out. They're going. Where's my food? Where's my food? Where's my bottle?
Speaker 3:Where's my bottle We'll celebrate in here, not right now, I'll guarantee you, there's a ton of them, I'm serious though we're going to take it over the world At least the week after.
Speaker 2:I am serious, that's a good point.
Speaker 4:I am really hoping that we can hold on to this.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to lighten the mood around here a little bit, you keep going back to your worry.
Speaker 4:I'm not worried. I mean, it's not worry, it's just, we had a.
Speaker 1:I'm worried about you, don't worry too much about me.
Speaker 2:I will say like I'm going to start checking up on you more.
Speaker 2:And you know like, uh, checking up on you more. And you know, like Kurt you're asking about, if people have talked to us about you say, I can't believe the way you voted and things like that. But when and if you've lost friends or kind of people that just kind of you know just went away like you didn't even have an argument or discussion, it's just all right. We don't think a lot alike. So I can't imagine when I retire one day, what are we going to talk about? You know we're not, we don't align, and so relationships just kind of change as you get older.
Speaker 2:But I will say, first off, for me, trump winning the election is great for America. So I felt my safety level felt good Economically, you're feeling good for families, things like that. I do believe I don't enjoy everything that Trump says, everything he tweets. I don't agree with all that. However, I do love his policies, I do feel that he loves America and I do feel that he'll do the best job he possibly can. But in all that. So I thought about that first. But my secondary thought and it was real quick after that one, and this is the sinful thought, and even biblically it says oh, do we not rejoice in the misfortune of others? Did I not think about my liberal friends and how happy I was if they were so pissed off?
Speaker 3:What's wrong? I was so happy that's a sin.
Speaker 2:It's a sinful. Yeah, it's a sin. Really You're not supposed to rejoice in other people, but I did ask forgiveness for it, but it still felt really good.
Speaker 6:We do that every Saturday, I know.
Speaker 2:I know, but that's sports, that's sports, that's nice. But anyway, for a little bit it just felt really good to win, I agree.

Speaker 2:Iowa boring. Sounds like an actor. What about you Tills Tully Martin, Tully Martin. Okay.
Speaker 1:That's solid. Solid Sounds like a professional bass fisherman. Tully Martin. While we were in break, we had a very heated discussion, but it was very you know, we'll actually we'll put, we'll have some behind the scenes content at some point it'll cost you, though there'll be a lot of bleeping in that. But then it turned to like you're chewing, uh, you chew during. Can we talk about this? Oh, oh, you sure I don't know you chew during shows.
Speaker 3:Dips. Yeah, I mean I can sing with a dip in. Yeah, absolutely yeah. Where's your spit?
Speaker 1:cup. Is it the tray that I'm supposed?
Speaker 3:to it's under the table. Huh, I mean you don't want to look at that.
Speaker 1:Remember when I lost the hockey tournament oh, this is good, I was going to go ahead, but I got a little dipping story.
Speaker 4:Well, this is a dipping story. Good, we were on the road and our tour manager, jake Legron this is back probably 2015 or something played the ACM Awards. It was the first year that they were in the new Cowboy Stadium. Whatever year that was, I think it was 2014 or 15. After that show, we were going to Wyoming or somewhere. That show we had a. We're going to what like wyoming or somewhere. So we had a long bus ride. We're playing, uh, nhl on the playstation, which is what we do on the long bus ride. So I'm like, undefeated against jake 150. And oh, for some reason, we roll out of town and, uh, he goes. Hey, let's put a bet on this. I'm like, okay, fine, he goes. If you lose, you got to put a dip in. Okay, oh yeah, and I've never did oh, that's it so that's shit.
Speaker 4:Anyway, I'm playing goal. I'm like one, nothing fine. I beat jake all the time. I got a third third period. I'm down two to one, firing. I can't get anything to go in the net. I tie the game with like five seconds left. I'll never forget it. And I lose in overtime. And we are barely out of Texas and he goes. Well, there you go. So I put the dip in. I can't remember what it was and whoa.
Speaker 3:Bad times for me. Did you get sick or did you just get dizzy? Oh I didn't.
Speaker 1:It was a verge of sick.
Speaker 4:I was a little green. I ended up on the floor just super nauseous and the bus was spinning and the bus was moving.
Speaker 2:So now.
Speaker 4:I'm spinning and man it took me a minute.
Speaker 2:That's a terrible feeling.
Speaker 3:It took me a minute Kalo used to dip I was about to ask you did I dipped, he was a professional dipper.
Speaker 2:I was at least a can and a half a day every day for years.
Speaker 1:Is that a lot? I mean, it sounds like a lot.
Speaker 2:And then I used to dip Skull. And then because you're talking about why you're dipping and singing and stuff I was playing in a band in Chattanooga a long time ago and I was trying to quit, and so I love Skoll. I hated Copenhagen. So I thought, well, I'm going to buy Copenhagen whenever I want to dip. I'll just take a small dip because I hate it. Bad move That'll make me not want to do it Well anyway. So I started wearing the patch you know too, on my chest. You know I had the time I was just wearing the patch, but then I had it and then it was just a long night and everything, for whatever reason. I started taking those little dips of Copenhagen and then by the third or fourth one, I started loving it and then it was just like a three-finger dip. And it's a long night, it's dark in there, nobody can see anything. But I had the patch on and then you're walking around stage and you're playing. My chest started.
Speaker 2:I got huge chest pains and I think I was about to have a heart attack and I reached in my Garth Brooks lookalike shirt and ripped that patch off as quick as I could and anyway here I am today.
Speaker 3:So obviously we're not kidding. We don't want anybody to start dipping you kids out there, don't start if you don't want to get a dip.
Speaker 1:I haven't dipped in years.
Speaker 2:What's the difference in the?
Speaker 1:brands? Do they taste different?
Speaker 2:or yeah, they're all definitely they're all different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, kind of like cigarettes I dipped this wolf peach and I got this gary levaux dips this, and that's how I got hooked on this through him, because he started dipping it, because that was like one day I didn't have my copenhagen or whatever, and what about cigarettes?
Speaker 1:is it the same thing?
Speaker 2:well, cigarettes I guess man those cigarettes like two weeks I days Trying to quit dipping.
Speaker 3:There's a picture of me somewhere. I'm standing next to Lana we're not married yet and I've got like one of the original old trucker hats on. I've got a Marlboro in my right hand, I got a big dip in my left side and I'm holding the Budweiser.
Speaker 2:How in?
Speaker 6:the world? Did she fall for you and?
Speaker 3:let me tell you something, man. It was like you want to talk about freaking red.
Speaker 6:You look like a Joe Neal and it was like I couldn't get enough nicotine. I couldn't get enough nicotine.
Speaker 3:It was crazy. I had it bad. It was a bad deal.
Speaker 2:It's a thing. It's one of those things like when you're really, if you're sad, you're better. If you're middle of the road, that's even better and really so it's so good after meals. I was gaining so much weight because the dip tastes so much better after eating, so I would just stay like a dessert yeah, dessert, anything.
Speaker 2:But I would stay up to two or three in the morning and I would eat, and then I would dip, and I would eat, and I would dip and I would go to sleep when my throat would get so closed up from nicotineotine that I started coughing from dipping not smoking and then I'd go to bed. I'd say, well, that's enough. And then I'd go to bed hey, did you ever fall asleep with a dip in your mouth? Oh yeah, and I hated that because you swallowed it the whole night. And then I woke up thinking, well, I'm getting cancer. I've been swallowing it all night, that's it, I'm out, god's taken me, you guys are rednecks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 5:It's terrible, no wonder they call you by your middle names.
Speaker 1:You're welcome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so All right, that was a long time ago. No wonder they call you by your middle. But that was fine Well everything's on topic here.
Speaker 1:Maybe to kind of close out with some of the Do you have any bad habits, do I? Yeah, they're probably all bad, but none I'm not just going to pick on me and Kalo. I mean, I don't know if I have any bad habits or not.
Speaker 2:And he sips the whiskey. Well, at least it's past noon, it's past noon now At noon.
Speaker 3:Well, it's not noon now, hey Tully dipping may help your anxiety.
Speaker 2:Oh, he'd be so amped up though.
Speaker 1:Is that for real, or are you just being?
Speaker 3:It may help.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 3:Your worry factor may go down. It may be a downer for you like in a good way you know, it's just how I was born Wired tight.
Speaker 4:I mean, this isn't like a new development. I've had this forever.
Speaker 2:It's going to take a little more than.
Speaker 3:Telly's new record.
Speaker 1:Hardwired. I like it Tully. Another one of the things you were, or we were, talking about during the break was some of the MSNBC kind of post-election. Oh, it's entertaining Entertainment meltdown.
Speaker 4:It's been hard not to listen to it.
Speaker 1:It's like they're losing it and they're losing it, and maybe this will be the next thing we veer off into is the whole legacy media thing. But people still watch MSNBC Actually a lot of people who, well, I? How is it on the air? What's the difference between.
Speaker 3:Like me, I love it.
Speaker 4:No, no, no because let me give you a dip, because here's the deal. You know we agree, neil. We agree on 90 of things, maybe even more than that. I know we we agree on this. Ms msnbc, is is actually, it's a poison. What?
Speaker 1:What's the difference between the View and MSNBC View? Who watches the View? You?
Speaker 4:know what the View does? A huge favor. They asked her a question. You're right, the View, they really did. Neil, you got a good. Can we get to Neil's point on the View?
Speaker 3:Yeah, about the names, about the names, yeah, I mean, it's like, yeah, I mean it's like how could the most pissed off, bitter women in the world have names like Whoopi, Sonny and Joy?
Speaker 2:That's hysterical. I love it.
Speaker 4:It's still one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Speaker 3:Hey, kids, when you grow up and you have kids, don't name them happy names, because they're going to turn into them Whoopi Apparently. That's what happens.
Speaker 1:And what was the other one? Joy, joy.
Speaker 3:There's two joys there's joy bayhart and joy reed.
Speaker 1:Yeah oh, you're right there's two joys.
Speaker 3:There's lots of joy in the world so so check it out.
Speaker 2:Um interesting story. I need to get a karen or something here.
Speaker 4:Here's. Here's something interesting for you guys. Um, whoopie, I still don't know how ted danson married her, but that's all right. Wow, you're right. Yeah, ted danson married whoopi.
Speaker 2:This is a weird thing he had a lot of drug and alcohol.
Speaker 4:That goes back to my anxiety um, so my son was in la my son's in acting and he was in la looking at schools out there chapman and some places like that. So he saw her in a restaurant and he's in acting and she's in acting and she was really really sweet to him, which is a good side to her. And then you have this other side to her, which is that show and what you hear them say. That's a big problem.
Speaker 1:It's a big problem. I'd like to know the ratings of that show.
Speaker 3:You know what the problem is? It's not them, it's the people that buy it.
Speaker 1:It's the people that watch it, so you tune into that, and you actually leave it on the channel.
Speaker 3:I wonder if anyone actually does, though, or they just leave it on the channel.
Speaker 4:I'm like what I wonder if anyone actually does, though, or they just leave them on the air because they feel that they can't take them off.
Speaker 3:I'm with you. I'm like how are their ratings? How are they still on the air?
Speaker 4:But you've got to remember how liberal the network is. No matter how bad the ratings are, they're not taking it off, because what does that?
Speaker 2:say that's a good point I hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 5:There's no way they're taking him off.
Speaker 4:But thank you, vue, thank you for having. Kamala on and hey, she can't think of one thing she'd do differently than Joe, you don't? Have to be You're right, that was a big point, we're not political, we're just to have our opinions, but you don't have to be political to to see that how that played out. Like well, Joe sucks, Everything sucks, and you can't think of one thing you do differently.
Speaker 1:Well, and not to go too deep in the woods on that, but it's like go deep in the woods.
Speaker 1:Well, no, I'm just saying that it's like you understood you understood that she's a puppet, for lack of a better word, that it's not her that would be running the country. There is a machine, a deep state that would be running it. Nobody. Everybody knows joe wasn't capable of running the country and it wasn't seriously. Everybody knows he is in serious cognitive decline. Everybody knows that comma knows that Kamala was picked because she could be controlled by that machine. It's just obvious to me. But you know what the uh elon calls them the legacy media, right, yeah, yeah, I mean, these days are over it is.
Speaker 4:It is over and they can blame themselves. Yeah, that's right, they can blame themselves because they refuse. You know, when you're out and you're asking people what's your biggest concerns uh, going forward in the country and you're in your polling and 70 of the people say economy, border, obvious things say economy, border, obvious things, right, inflation, all this stuff, and you say no, that's not real.
Speaker 3:I always wonder what whoopi and joy and all them, how they actually, when they're by themselves behind the curtain, when the cameras aren't rolling, how they?
Speaker 1:really are. Well, they're like do they get?
Speaker 3:does whoopi go back there to a dressing room and go? Damn it shit? I mean, instead of the enthusiastic, you know, I'm saying like taking, taking ownership of a lot of this you got to remember what they did during this, during this election cycle, is they paraded out all these celebrities?
Speaker 1:do they not see how they paraded? Out was multi-millionaires, billionaires by the way, they paid those, every one of them, millions of dollars.
Speaker 4:They're in 20 million in debt after a billion, you know they they owe like just for the concerts alone, like but so like to what you were saying.
Speaker 1:So they bring out beyonce, which who's listening to beyonce thinking, yeah, she understands what we're going through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she knows how much groceries are. Yeah, stuff. Yeah, she doesn't even buy her own groceries. She goes shopping to the local public store Cardi B. Oh, Cardi knows things.
Speaker 1:What the my God, it's just so insulting.
Speaker 4:If you're wondering why, if you voted for Kamala, and you're wondering why you lost, it's because somehow the new Republican Party is now the party of the working man. It's flipped. It's flipped and that is exactly what has happened. Where Donald Trump, Mr New York, billionaire New York, is now more connected to the everyman than the Democratic Party, and when you really want to get down to it, that's who people are leaning on to fix things and legacy media. They're broke, they're done. Yeah, and back to that point. It's like it's over.
Speaker 1:It is over and people now get their information and news through independent sources, whether it's and podcasts, and podcasts Like ours, the Try that in a Small Town podcast.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but it's true.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's what we have. A lot. We can thank the View for the little bit of the success of our song too. That's right, they helped.
Speaker 1:They didn't like us, did they?
Speaker 4:They did not like us. Hey, to that point. I actually mentioned this to Kurt the other day as, as I'm watching the election unfold, I'm thinking to myself when the tour started this year, back to that point of our song from show number one. I remember coming in after the show and saying God, that crowd was young. Tonight, when I say young, I mean like 17, 18, like young, and we've been out a minute. We've been out for 25 years. I mean we've been, you know, 've been out for 25 years. I mean we've been, you know, before they were born. So it's interesting, in every show we play our song and young and riled up, and as I'm, and that went on the whole tour, talk about it every night can't believe how young the crowd is getting. And it made me wonder and I was wondering where are the young people voting? Where that energy? And they showed up.
Speaker 1:Yeah they did. Yeah, it's that same demographic. It's the same demographic.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it made sense to me that they were.
Speaker 3:you know, Go on YouTube and watch all the universities, all the college universities Not all of them, but the majority of them and all these fraternities running out in the streets.
Speaker 4:I know it's pretty cool, I'd say that night it was tons of colleges, yeah, but that age group, you know, I started a lot of uh. Even when I was voting on election day, there was five or six first-time voters in there and I remember saying congratulations, congratulations. You know it, you know.
Speaker 4:And it was interesting though, as, as it unfolded the other night, thinking about the tour this year and the energy, yeah, and the correlation we played, try that in a small town and what we're seeing it was like okay, maybe you know that part of our base was really ready to show out, you know neil, you're talking about that.
Speaker 1:You guys know who charlie kirk is. Oh yeah, turning point. Yep, that was like his thing this year. Right, he went to so many of these colleges and he was just trying to inform people what like trump's message was and what, yeah, and what that he's a true patriot man and what a warrior yeah he works like trump does.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's non-stop. He can't quite keep up with trump, but he's close. That's what blows my yeah, he's nonstop. He can't quite keep up with Trump, but he's close. That's what blows my mind about Trump. He's pretty crazy. You can't keep up with him. It's unbelievable. He doesn't stop.
Speaker 1:You got guys like Charlie Kirk saying that, or Joe Rogan saying that, or Dana White saying that. It's like this guy works harder than anybody.
Speaker 4:Hey, when did Baron get 10 feet tall?

I mean at least that trump's like six feet six, one, yeah, yeah, you know. And baron's the whole stage. He's just looking down at everybody. It was amazing. I mean you don't want to mess with baron don't mess with baron.
Speaker 1:It's a pretty badass name. That's his first name, right? That ain't his middle name, gotta be first he's six, seven, six, seven.
Speaker 4:He looks six, seven, every bit of it yeah yeah, I just feel great today I feel.
Speaker 3:I feel so light.
Speaker 2:You like my shirt that's the best shirt I ever loved like that. That's pretty awesome, pretty awesome right.
Speaker 3:Got this at Aldine's golf tournament, that's a good one, I think it's some of Brittany's merch right.
Speaker 1:I think it is.
Speaker 3:It's amazing.
Speaker 2:How old?
Speaker 4:18. He's 18?.
Speaker 1:And he's 6'7" Not done growing, yet he looks 6'7".
Speaker 4:That's what he looks like six, seven.
Speaker 1:So he looks like intimidating everybody looks like seven.
Speaker 4:To us, it's true, we're looking up at a lot of people that's true, it's true, but we look tall on stage. It's all there, really, if I had a dime for everybody.
Speaker 1:That said when I was talking to him in a room oh, you look taller on stage.
Speaker 2:It's because the stage is 10 feet tall.
Speaker 4:I've heard people say that as we walk by in the old days we'd, you know, play a bar or something years and years ago, and you'd go out to have a drink after and they could hear him say wow, they look so much taller on stage and you have, and you have a stance on stage that makes you like five, six inches shorter than you yeah, the squat is the patented squat.
Speaker 2:The rock it's the power squat it's it's your thing, nobody can do it.
Speaker 3:Your base is hanging at the perfect level.
Speaker 4:It's awesome yeah, I'm getting pretty old, though getting sore. My stance is changing. Can't go down quite as low as I used to. Oh, it is christmas. It feels like christmas it is you know it just it does feel good.
Speaker 1:That's not gloating or over-celebrating, it's just. You know, it's restored faith and some basic principles. Again, kind of tying back to the song. We have passion about common core beliefs and it's nice to see, oh, some other people do. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot more people, if you want to know how we believe?
Speaker 3:just go listen to the song. Right, yeah, there's not much of a question that pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 1:It does. Um anybody got anything else? Should we leave this here?
Speaker 4:I think it's a good we can go on with forever, so we could um, but I just want to say it's, it's it's inspiring, not gloating slightly maybe gloating, but it's okay to celebrate it.
Speaker 3:It's the difference in gloating and celebrating. What's the difference is?
Speaker 4:when you've been called, you know, when you're over half the country's been called yeah, out for supporting a Nazi. It's so bad, the rhetoric's so bad and it's got to stop. But when over half the country's like hey, we've had enough, we're not for this, it's too far left, we need to come back, and everybody stands up, gets out and votes. It was inspiring to see the system.
Speaker 1:It actually is democracy, by the way, right, and?
Speaker 2:that was restored.
Speaker 1:That was restored.
Speaker 4:That felt really good yeah.
Speaker 2:Like hey, my vote counts, your vote counts.
Speaker 4:And it was amazing, that feeling of like we're back, we're back, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, no go ahead the difference between gloating what you're saying and just being happy for the result. Gloating would be, you know, texting liberal people saying, saying hey, in your face, you lost Like which. That's not what we're going to do. And if our side didn't win, we wouldn't complain about it. For four years. I would pray like everything Like. If Kamala would have won. I would pray every day that somebody around her is helping her run this country and I wouldn't, be bitter and say I hate Kamala.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't do that, Amen to that, kalo.
Speaker 1:We don't do that, we've never done that and I will say this Even before the election and everybody can believe how they want and all this, but I prayed a lot before the election and it wasn't for trump to win, it was. I know you have a plan and I'm good with your plan. Yep, god's still there, no matter who's president. It's the where we have a journey right, and what's that?
Speaker 3:no, you're right.
Speaker 1:Well god, I totally agree, but my, so all of my prayers weren't please let Trump win? I mean, obviously God knows how I feel and my faith, but I know you have a plan.
Speaker 3:That's what Tully said a while ago. It's very clear Going back before COVID, all through COVID, that was all God's plan. That whole story was all planned.
Speaker 4:If Trump wins in 2020, he might win, but he can't really do anything. In the way that was set up in the Senate and everything, nothing goes through and God, like I said, he knew it was going to happen. He got us to this point where now he can actually implement some of these changes that everybody wants to see. It's pretty clear everybody, most people, want to see some of these changes.
Speaker 2:Well, and it'll benefit people that hate him. It will benefit them, I agree. I believe his policies are going to benefit people that hate him. They're still not going to like him, but I think their world will be different.
Speaker 3:And it doesn't matter who's president Jesus is still king. Amen. I love that Neil let's end on that.
