THE SLOW LEFTWARD DRIFT OF AMERICAN POLITICS: What's Really Important?
Third day of podcasting in a row after a busy summer with family commitments and limited alone time to record.
• Media propaganda evident in Time Magazine's influential podcast list that excluded Joe Rogan Experience despite being the most downloaded podcast
• Netflix docuseries reviews including Amy Bradley's disappearance and "From Rockstar to Killer" that started strong but devolved into ideological messaging
• Happy Gilmore 2 review - enjoyed the family storyline but disliked excessive cameos and the unrealistic new golf competition format
• Trump considering marijuana reclassification at the federal level
• Marijuana legalization could work similarly to cigarette restrictions with additional public consumption limitations
• Weed affects different people differently, making standard impairment measures challenging
• Growing disinterest in the Epstein case despite unanswered questions about powerful figures involved
• American politics continuously shifting left - today's Republicans hold positions similar to Democrats from 20-30 years ago
• Both political parties showing signs of corruption and moral compromise
Put your faith in Jesus, not in politicians or government systems. God bless and I'll see you next time.
Again, thanks for hanging out with me!

You are listening to the Objective Jerk and I am said, jerk, oh, that used to be my intro. That used to be my intro. Yeah, anyway, what's up? This is my third day, my third straight day recording a podcast. So, yeah, my kids are back back in school.
Speaker 1:That was kind of the problem. A little bit was like summer. I mean, they've been in school now for a couple weeks but, um, it was kind of crazy because it was like storms and rain and everything. So I was like they were getting dismissed early and and then my wife, her culinary school, same kind of thing and then she's going to physical therapy, so it's kind of interfering with her classes. So she was missing classes, so she was home, so I didn't have a whole lot of alone time. So that was a little bit of why I haven't really been recording much podcasts.
Speaker 1:But now I'm alone about to get started doing some honey do's and I need to hide this. I forget because I keep looking at myself, because I'm vain, I guess, I don't know. I just want to make sure, whatever. Now I have my little He-Man figure right up on my monitor for me to look at, so it's like I'm looking at you. See how this works. So I can see He-Man, although it's kind of dark. Anyway, what's up? So there's a couple like little things.
Speaker 1:I'll take notes on small topics that I would talk about for a podcast or whatever. One topic by itself is not going to give me an entire podcast. Sometimes they do, but most of the time they don't. So I have a list here that I never went through and talked about, and so I was kind of I was wanting to talk about Trump and weed so, and so I was adding that to you know my list, and I was like, oh, I didn't even talk about any of this stuff. So this is kind of a makeup cast, I guess I don't know, know, because some of the stuff is a little dated now, like Sidney Sweeney ad. You know when that was going crazy. Now that's. You know it's pretty much over, but I'll still give my opinion, I guess, but anyway, so that's all. I just wanted to kind of talk about some stuff that's going on in the world. Talk about some stuff that's going on in the world. Yeah, so how's everybody doing? Hope everybody's good, all right.
Speaker 1:So the first thing I have on here, so a while back, man, I want to say, this is about a month ago, but Time Magazine put out the most, the 100,. Was it 100? Maybe it wasn't 100, because that would be almost impossible, but anyway it was like the top whatever most influential podcast and the Joe Rogan experience wasn't on there, you know, and it's like it's the most viewed, downloaded, whatever podcast. How is it not on there? You know what I mean? So it's crap like that. It's like it. Just, man, I had like a lot of opinions about it at the time, but it's kind of stupid when you think about it. When they have these dumb, it's all just like it's propaganda. Basically, when you boil it down, it's kind of stupid when you think about it. When they have these dumb, it's all just like it's propaganda. Basically, when you boil it down, it's propaganda. Because that's complete bullshit. That he's not. Maybe they don't want to put him number one. Okay, I get it. You want to put someone else.
Speaker 1:But I did a quick glance over and it was like most of the podcast I never even heard of. Everybody's heard of JRE Like. I did a quick glance over and it was like most of the podcast I never even heard of. Everybody's heard of JRE, good or bad, everybody's heard of it, right, but they're just trying to push all this other stuff. Like, oh, look at all these, nobody gives a shit. You know, it's just like the who posted the worst to best Marvel I can't remember who it was and it was just the most ridiculous idiotic list. It's like, oh my gosh, and um, yeah, so it's just. It's just, it's all propaganda. They're all just trying to push oh look, this is the best to get. So the people will maybe go and watch it more, check it out or think I don't know, like it's not true, but then it's not really effective propaganda. I don't think, I don't know, but anyway it's retarded, basically what it is. But yeah, so I mean to have some sort of list with the podcast and not have JRE on there. It's like it's retarded.
Speaker 1:If you wanted to say left-wing podcast, then okay, you know. But don't say you know all podcasts and don't have the most popular podcast in the world on there, let's just just come on. Or you know, they could have been like we're looking at less popular obviously. Um, that would make a little bit more sense, I guess, to be like here's we're taking away, you know, joe rogan and there's who's some other ones I can't think're taking away. You know Joe Rogan, and there's who's some other ones I can't think of any right now, you know. But I mean, you know the ones that everybody knows. Let's remove those and try and give a little, give a little props to these lesser known influential ones, or maybe, or something, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Anyway, whatever, sydney Swinney had stuff that was just straight up retarded. You got a hot girl selling jeans and they try and freak out about it and make a big deal out of it. It was just I don't even feel like talking about it because it's just so over now. But anyway, me too. Oh, okay, so I was going to talk about another docuseries that I watched on Netflix. You know cause I? I keep talking about how I, as far as TV show and film, I'm watching older stuff, 30 years ago or more 20 years ago, you know, um, I do, I'll watch something new occasionally, but, man, it's pretty rare. But the new things I watch are like docuseries, right, and Netflix. Sometimes they do a good job and sometimes they don't.
Speaker 1:I can't remember which one. It was where it was like, just right, at the very end, they had to put something in there and it was just like come on. They got to put it in their little agenda every time in there and it was just like come on, they kind of put in their little agenda at every time. And so I watched this. Two of them actually. They both, for the most part, were good.
Speaker 1:There was one uh, amy bradley is missing or whatever. So this, this girl who ended up missing on a cruise ship I had never heard about it or they were at port or whatever, but they were on a cruise trip, whatever, and she ended up, you know, going missing and the cruise company kind of dropped the ball. You know, and I don't know. Just that's the scary thing about being overseas. You know a lot of people don't realize that things that happen in the states it's not the same in the rest of the world, you know. So you can't just make things happen and get the police involved and all. You know what I mean. It's just just it's scary. But it's crazy because the evidence that they have, I think she's still alive, I think, you know the poor girl was a sex slave and maybe now she's somewhat normal life. But she has children, I think from you know whoever and so she can't leave those children and if she were, she would not be able to leave with she could not escape with her kids and she can't just leave them. So she's there. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to go into details about it because this podcast isn't about everything about that, but there's a lot of podcasts and YouTube channels that do talk about it. So, amy Bradley, watch the documentary, look it up. It's kind of a crazy story. Next, oh, and then the other docuseries was From Rockstar to Killer right, oh, and then the other docuseries was From Rockstar to Killer right, a French rock musician who got an altercation with his famous actress girlfriend, or were they married, I can't remember and you know she ended up dying and the whole thing was just like what the crap?
Speaker 1:But then it goes on to show that you know, I mean, the guy is a douchebag and he was, you know, abused women and all this kind of stuff. And it the first. I want to say it was like three episodes, but like this, the last episode was just all like me too, kind of crap. Leave all women, this, I don't know it. Just it went from a docu series to like a feminist kind of I don't know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:It's like the Me Too thing was kind of annoying. I mean it was good to an extent, but it's like the tagline believe all women I think is bullshit, because how many women straight up lie about that crap to get stuff? You know what I mean. So it's like I don't know. I mean it's, you know, the guy is a douche and he still, he has his rock star life going. So I mean that's kind of shitty, but I just they just kind of ruined it. I don't know. I mean, if you're watching the documentary, it's almost like they started the documentary thinking they were going to have some kind of conclusion and then they didn't really have a third act for it, like maybe he was, they were going to file something and he was going to maybe be in jail. So at the end of you know or I don't know, and it was like, oh crap, they got nothing, he's still free. What do we do? Well, let's just, you know, talk about Me Too. I guess Maybe that's what it was, I don't know, but it, yeah, it kind um happy gilmore. So I watched happy gilmore, um love, the first happy gilmore. I remember when it first came out I didn't see it in theaters but I saw it when it was first released on video and, um, yeah, it's a, it's a classic. I, I own it. It's fun, you know, and it's funny.
Speaker 1:I don't like all of Adam Sandler's films, but I like most of them really, and they're all just they're entertaining. His films, whether they're good or bad, they're entertaining. My absolute favorite Adam Sandler film is the Wedding Singer and then Happy Gilmore would probably be second. My absolute favorite Adam Sandler film is the Wedding Singer and then Happy Gilmore would probably be second. But so Happy Gilmore 2. I thought half of it was pretty great and the other half was just okay. You know, people were pissed that his wife died from the golf ball, but it's like, well, it's like the first one when his dad died, you know. But she was in it still in flashbacks and whatever. So it's not like you know, she was still the actress, got work, you know what I mean. She was still in the movie.
Speaker 1:I liked the whole, his family dynamics and stuff, you know the losing the home and then their life and him doing whatever and this and that. Um, what I did not like was the tons of cameos. Some cameos are fine, some of them were funny, but it just kind of got to be a little annoying and I did not like the competition golf, the new golf system thing, whatever, and the new. I didn't like all that crap. I wish it would have been a little more grounded, more on him just getting back into the regular golf, and you know what I mean. I think there's two movies there, the family with heart side, and then you have the crazy TikTok, whatever. I watched it with my family, all my kids. They had fun with it and stuff like that. So I can't complain In that aspect. I enjoyed it. Would I watch it again? Yeah, I'm sure, probably someday, but I, you know I can watch the first one many times.
Speaker 1:Alright, recent video of black people sold all that lady that got cold clock, cold cocked. Where was it? In cincinnati or something. Uh, I don't know, I'm not gonna talk about that, all right. So what? The?
Speaker 1:The thing that kind of gave me the idea to turn on my podcaster today was trump and he's, I guess, discussing maybe changing the. What is it called? The? I can't think of the word right now. The level of what weed is. You know the level? Gosh, because every drug and you have different narcotics and this and that and I can't think of the stupid word right now but they have different levels anyway, like lowering it or getting rid of it or whatever, basically making it like cigarettes or alcohol.
Speaker 1:Um, I think I've talked about it before, uh. Uh, you know I was never a stoner, but if close friends had it, then I, you know, then I was stoned. You know what I mean. Like I didn't. I never, I never owned and bought anything, it was just if it was around. Yes, I partook you know what I mean, um, but then you know I endedook you know what I mean. But then, you know, I ended up joining the Army and all this other stuff. So I didn't for the longest time.
Speaker 1:So, you know, legalization and everything I think is fine. I think it's kind of what's not working now is just because it's still illegal on the federal level and there's all this kind of weird kind of I don't know red tape in between. I don't know. It's kind of retarded. It does bring in a lot of money, but there's so much else that can come from hemp and weed and everything you know, um, and yeah, it's like you're gonna have like where I was at in in washington, it was like everywhere we walked it was like just weed, skunk weed everywhere you smelt it, you know, and it was just like gosh, very annoying, um.
Speaker 1:So I mean, I think they can make it just like cigarettes or, you know, or drinking it could be pretty much like cigarettes, because you can't smoke anywhere, in restaurants or anything like that now, in bars and stuff anyway. You know what I mean. So they could do the same thing with weed, but just do it one step further and be like you can't do it in public. You know what I mean. You can't park in a parking lot and smoke in your car, and this and that Like that should be either a designated like weed bar or your home, you know, if you got to be in public and you know whatever, then that's what edibles are for. You know what I'm saying? So, because that's just kind of, and I think that that would be easy enough to do, you know.
Speaker 1:And then a lot of people are always like I just don't understand, why can't they blah, blah, blah? And it's like well, I mean, as far as I know, I didn't look to find out, I know before they didn't, but maybe they have some kind of new contraption now. But there's no way for like a law enforcement, like if somebody's driving erratically or whatever, on for it, like if somebody's driving erratically or whatever and they pull them over and they have them do a breathalyzer. They blow, they're not, they're not drunk, but it's obviously they're incapacitated in some way. I mean you can tell if somebody is off, and then what they would do is they would take them back and they'd probably get their blood drawn. They would know, like if they're, you know, high on oxycontin or they find physical evidence along to you know whatever. But that was always kind of.
Speaker 1:The thing, though is like with weed is you can't really measure how stoned someone is, because weed is crazy. You know what I mean. You could just take a little bit and you get a little whatever, but if you smoke a lot, then you're a lot more stoned, you know. So it's kind of a. It's a slippery slope, it's a tricky situation, but, with that said, I would much rather have someone who's baked stoned drive my kids to school than someone who's like intoxicated drunk. You know what I mean. So, yeah, so I mean if he and then I think I don't know maybe, because I guess a lot of people that are in prison because of drug marijuana-related offenses. But it's like, well, that was the law at that time. So it's like, okay, you change the law, they get out earlier. You know it's not like they can be like, oh, I was falsely imprisoned, no, because that was the law at the time, but now it's fine, so you get out earlier.
Speaker 1:I think they can basically make it like alcohol and, you know, like cigarettes, basically Because I think cigarettes are worse for you than weed and from everything that I've read and whatever, that's true and alcohol is worse for you than weed. You know what I mean. And then again, if you're like a person who smokes it all day, every day, then you know it could affect you more. And then somebody who just gets stoned one time, it could really mess them up compared to most people. You know that's just like it just kind of does something to them. You know people everybody's different. You know people are like allergic to caffeine, you know, but most people are fine with it. I can drink a shitload of caffeine, it doesn't do anything to me. I used to work with a guy who drank one energy drink once and he had to go to the ER. Same kind of thing.
Speaker 1:You have somebody who can smoke a bunch of weed and you know it helps them and they're fine. Then you have someone who smokes some and they're like, oh my God, freaking out and they don't do well with it. Pretty soon it'll be go to your doctor and find out if weed is right for you. I mean, it's the way it is. You just have to make sure you're home, take a little light edible and see how it reacts to you. I don't know, with the way things are going, I think it'll, even if trump doesn't, I think eventually it will be, because it really is a nothing burger.
Speaker 1:I guess you would say, you know, I mean, I guess you could. That's what you could do, right, let's say you could get like a, like a nice porterhouse steak. Right, pull someone over to find out their stone. Here's a nice porterhouse steak. Here's a bag of Doritos. Which one would you rather have? They picked the Doritos. They're stoned. Give them a ticket, I don't know. But, um, yeah, so I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 1:What are your thoughts on that? What's the other thing I had? I had? Oh, so I guess, like the Epstein. Well, this was on. I saw this on CNN, I think it was CNN like polls and polls are, so I've never, ever done a poll. So who's doing these polls? You know what I mean when people call. I don't know.
Speaker 1:But anyway, supposedly people are just not interested in Epstein anymore and, to be honest, I'm kind of one of those people Like I. I mean, I want the list to come out. I want to know what the heck was going on in that house with all those cameras and all this stuff. Something was going on, and it wasn't just Epstein getting freaky, you know, I don't know it's. I think there's more to it and, um, I'm tired of all the gaslighting about it. I just want to know, you know, so that's for me. I just I'm not.
Speaker 1:Until I see names and list was released, this is who's going to jail or who's being prosecuted or whatever. I'm done, I'm done trying, I'm done caring. You know what I mean? Um, cause I mean Because I mean like, why, why can't? What's the problem? And the only thing I can see is just, you have and I'm not saying Biden and Trump were on went to the island and humped a bunch of girls. I mean, it's pretty obvious, clinton did, and certain other people. But I just think that there are people on both sides that would be hurt, whether legally or their reputation or something, and they're just not allowing it. And it's on both sides. So what does that tell you? That tells you that the left are corrupt pieces of shit and the right are corrupt pieces of shit. All politicians are shit. They're all garbage they really are.
Speaker 1:You can't put your faith in Democrats or Republicans or even the American government system. You just can't. You can't. You can put your faith in Jesus and move on. That's about it, I mean. What else can you do? Because it's just, it's all the same crap, you know.
Speaker 1:And Republicans now, the views and everything the Republicans are are what the Democrats were 20, 30 years ago. Republicans 20, 30 years ago weren't talking about legalizing weed. You know what I mean. So conservatives are now the Democrats from 20 years ago and democrats are are liberals. And then the conservatives who, where, who knows, I don't know what. What I mean. You still have some, but it's just. You know. It's just. It's, it's shifted and it just keeps going more and more left. Pretty soon, conservatives are going to be where the democrats are now in like 20. You know what I mean. Like there's. That's what, and I think that's the goal. That's the plan.
Speaker 1:Try and get rid of all the morals and all the values that conservatives have are just slowly being let go, and no matter who you vote for or whatever, it just keeps happening. You vote for a Republican, it slows down a little bit, but when you go Democrat, real quick, all this crap goes on. Then you vote for a Republican and the same crap still happens, but just at a slower rate. So quit putting your faith in the government. Put your faith in Jesus, and that's all you can do. All right, appreciate your time. Thanks for listening's all you can do, alright, appreciate your time. Thanks for listening. Hope you have a good one. God bless and I'll see you next time.
