Hey, I'm going to throw you for a loop, and it's going to blow your mind.
00:00:35.800
We're going to do Tuesday Thunder because I have something that I think is important
00:00:44.100
It's going to be an hour, but the reality is I've got something on my mind,
00:00:47.840
and I want to talk to you guys about it just off script real quick.
00:00:51.000
We have politics going full swing here in America.
00:00:54.340
You know, everywhere we look, it's Republican, Democrat, Hillary, Trump, whoever.
00:01:02.860
And I've been thinking a lot about our country.
00:01:04.780
You know, I just got back from speaking at the Revolution Tour with Sean Whalen
00:01:09.000
out at Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival.
00:01:14.840
There was a lot of people who identified themselves with Republicans.
00:01:17.760
There was a lot of people who identified themselves with Democrats.
00:01:24.700
And that's what's got me thinking about all of this.
00:01:38.140
And I think, you know, contrary to what some of the comments I make
00:01:42.480
and some of the bitching I do, because I do bitch a lot about, you know,
00:01:50.440
I do still believe that America is a tremendous, great country.
00:01:55.820
At the heart of our country, there's a core group of people
00:01:58.360
who still hold the values that made America great.
00:02:09.920
And they are good fucking people who do great things
00:02:16.440
But here's the reality of the situation we're in now.
00:02:20.240
There's more and more people in this country who are total zeros.
00:02:35.680
The only thing they are great at is fucking everything up for the rest of us.
00:02:58.040
The real competition, the most important battle,
00:03:01.260
is between our country's winners and our country's losers.
00:03:08.040
Will they be committed to competition, hard work, achievement, success?
00:03:13.420
Or will the culture of America slide into underachievement,
00:03:17.580
excuse-making, bitching, whining, and laziness,
00:03:34.600
And that's a scary thought because, you know, I don't have any kids right now.
00:03:42.960
But eventually, you're going to have to think about the world that they're brought up in.
00:03:57.840
But you can take personal responsibility for your choices, for your actions,
00:04:03.260
for your work ethic, for your conduct, for your character,
00:04:06.540
for your commitment to excellence, and for your drive to be fucking great.
00:04:14.340
Like I said, you can't control what somebody else does, but you can influence them.
00:04:21.540
And if you want to commit yourself to greatness,
00:04:23.700
you will influence at least one other person who will influence another and another and another.
00:04:30.420
And by definition, that is how a movement is created.
00:04:37.160
That is how America is going to be great again.
00:04:40.120
By you taking personal responsibility for who you are and what you do
00:04:45.200
and make much more out of your life than you are right now.
00:04:49.340
That is how we're going to fix what's going on here in America.
00:04:58.940
Because this is a one-person-at-a-time problem,
00:05:04.200
The greatness of our country won't be decided by who we elect as president.
00:05:12.240
It won't be determined by the Congress or the Supreme Court.
00:05:19.460
It's a decision that we should take into tremendous thought
00:05:28.520
The way we live our lives are not bound to them.
00:05:33.120
And the greatness of our country is decided by us.
00:05:36.220
We get to decide if the winners lose and the losers win.
00:05:43.120
the winners in America will fucking win, period.
