2026: A Rerun of 2020 — Who’s Really Running the Playbook?
Viewer discretion is advised. The following content includes graphic imagery and mature themes. This isn't for the weak. And yes, feelings will get hurt. So brace yourself, and welcome to The Hammer Drops.
In this intense, solo episode host David of The Hammer Drops breaks down why 2026 feels less like a new year and more like a replay of 2020. No outside guests — just the host calling out repeating patterns of manufactured outrage, media-driven fear cycles, and the strategic distractions that keep big questions from being asked. Topics covered include comparisons between the social and political climate of 2020 and 2026, the role of social media and moral certainty in polarizing the public, and how crises are used to justify sweeping changes.
David dives into recent developments in Minneapolis — allegations of billions in misdirected federal funds, local political figures (including mention of Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz), ICE incidents, and high-profile cases like Rene Good — and connects those stories to a larger theme: while the public fights over flashpoint events, money and power often move quietly behind the scenes. The episode also revisits COVID-era shifts (lockdowns, media amplification, and permanent rule changes), discusses high-profile protest incidents (including references to Kyle Rittenhouse and protests involving firearms), and questions how narrative framing can escalate toward larger crises.
Key takeaways: recognize and resist recycled outrage; follow the money instead of getting lost in viral headlines; hold leaders accountable regardless of party; ask uncomfortable questions; and seek the middle ground to reopen productive conversations. David warns listeners to be alert to repeating patterns, to avoid being played by political theater, and to prioritize awareness and critical thinking as safeguards against future crises.
Expect a provocative, unapologetic monologue that blends local examples, national politics, media criticism, and practical advice for listeners who want to see beyond partisan scripts. If you’re looking for a wake-up call about distraction, deception, and how to stay informed, this episode delivers.

00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:34.169
This isn't for the weak. And yes, feelings will get hurt.
00:00:35.048 --> 00:00:39.088
So brace yourself, and welcome to The Hammer Drops.
00:00:48.928 --> 00:00:54.428
Welcome back to the show, folks. Happy Tuesday. It's been very cold where I'm at.
00:00:54.608 --> 00:00:58.288
I don't know how it's been where you guys are at, but if it's anything like
00:00:58.288 --> 00:01:02.188
it's been up here, I've heard a lot of snow, a lot of ice, all that shit.
00:01:02.188 --> 00:01:07.148
Hopefully y'all are safe and warm because let's face it, this weather sucks.
00:01:07.668 --> 00:01:11.348
So before we get into the show today, you know how we start this show every single time.
00:01:11.788 --> 00:01:15.448
If you like what you're hearing, you can definitely go follow me on social media.
00:01:15.448 --> 00:01:19.248
I'm heavily active over on Facebook and Instagram at The Hammer Drops.
00:01:19.308 --> 00:01:22.488
While you are there, there are two links in the bio.
00:01:22.908 --> 00:01:27.768
One that takes you to the website, thehammordrops.com. And the other is a simple
00:01:27.768 --> 00:01:31.348
link tree that once you click on it, it's going to pop up and it's going to
00:01:31.348 --> 00:01:35.588
take you to all the other spots across the internet that you can find me, including YouTube.
00:01:35.828 --> 00:01:39.528
So while you're over on YouTube, if you're watching this, definitely hit that
00:01:39.528 --> 00:01:42.948
subscribe button, give the video like, leave me a comment, and I'll get back
00:01:42.948 --> 00:01:44.928
to you as soon as I possibly can.
00:01:45.288 --> 00:01:52.348
If you want to reach out to me, don't DM me because DMs I never get.
00:01:52.728 --> 00:01:57.048
Nine times out of 10, they end up going into some like hidden folder or whatever
00:01:57.048 --> 00:02:01.448
on social media. So email me at David at the hammer drops.com.
00:02:01.688 --> 00:02:08.088
That's the best way for me to respond back to you in normal fashion. Let's just be honest.
00:02:08.968 --> 00:02:11.588
Also in that link tree, it's going to take you to where you can listen to the
00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:14.248
podcast over there on iTunes and Spotify as well.
00:02:14.588 --> 00:02:18.048
So with that all being said, let's get into the show, shall we?
00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:22.088
So you ever get the feeling that you've been here before?
00:02:23.085 --> 00:02:26.505
Not exactly, but close enough that it makes your skin crawl, right?
00:02:27.265 --> 00:02:30.785
That's exactly what 2026 feels like at the moment.
00:02:31.385 --> 00:02:37.185
There's this tension in the air, this constant pressure cooker of emotion, outrage, distraction.
00:02:37.525 --> 00:02:41.885
And if you live through 2020, you know exactly what the hell I'm talking about.
00:02:42.645 --> 00:02:46.965
You know, I mean, who could forget 2020? I mean, after all, I mean,
00:02:47.185 --> 00:02:49.005
our government really lit us up then.
00:02:49.365 --> 00:02:51.405
So, and here's the thing, folks.
00:02:52.205 --> 00:02:55.445
2026 doesn't feel
00:02:55.445 --> 00:03:01.025
new it doesn't feel like something original it sure as hell feels like a rerun
00:03:01.025 --> 00:03:06.485
different headlines different villains maybe slightly different players but
00:03:06.485 --> 00:03:12.225
it's the same script and the worst part most people don't even realize it's the same playbook.
00:03:13.128 --> 00:03:16.508
Let's go back to 2020 for a moment. Chaos everywhere.
00:03:17.188 --> 00:03:22.568
Lockdowns, riots, protests. People yelling at each other online and in real life.
00:03:23.048 --> 00:03:25.448
Families broken. Friendships lost.
00:03:26.128 --> 00:03:30.208
Fear amplified to the max. Moral outrage on a nonstop loop.
00:03:30.648 --> 00:03:34.568
And here's the kicker. While everyone was busy reacting, while everyone was
00:03:34.568 --> 00:03:38.168
busy picking signs, something bigger was happening behind the scene.
00:03:38.548 --> 00:03:40.648
And most of us didn't even notice.
00:03:41.168 --> 00:03:46.108
Fast forward to 2026. Different year, same emotional temperature,
00:03:46.648 --> 00:03:49.168
people are frantic, divided,
00:03:49.768 --> 00:03:53.848
screaming at each other, social media amplifying outrage like it's the most
00:03:53.848 --> 00:03:57.488
important thing in the world, and meanwhile, the real questions,
00:03:58.028 --> 00:04:02.688
you know, the boring, uncomfortable ones, don't get asked.
00:04:03.248 --> 00:04:05.368
Take Minneapolis, for example.
00:04:06.208 --> 00:04:10.168
Billions of dollars defrauded from the American federal government.
00:04:10.728 --> 00:04:14.248
Billions. Where did it go? Who benefited?
00:04:14.608 --> 00:04:19.248
Who got rich? Who got held accountable? Almost nobody can explain it.
00:04:20.188 --> 00:04:23.528
And notice this. Every time the money conversation starts to rise,
00:04:23.848 --> 00:04:27.768
something louder drops. A scandal. A viral outrage.
00:04:28.688 --> 00:04:34.148
A new cultural fight. And suddenly, that's the real story just disappears.
00:04:34.788 --> 00:04:41.608
That's not coincidence. That's distraction. That's exactly what we are seeing again in 2026.
00:04:42.548 --> 00:04:46.568
And now let's talk about the culture war. Remember Kyle Rittenhouse?
00:04:46.808 --> 00:04:51.328
Back in 2020, the liberal side repeated one phrase like it was carved in stone.
00:04:51.348 --> 00:04:55.848
He shouldn't have brought a gun to a protest. Moral certainty.
00:04:56.368 --> 00:04:59.248
No nuisance, no context, just outrage.
00:04:59.808 --> 00:05:02.248
Fast forward to today, and we hear
00:05:02.248 --> 00:05:05.948
the exact same phrasing coming from the conservative side about pretty.
00:05:06.268 --> 00:05:09.388
Same words, same certainty, just flip fucking teams.
00:05:09.968 --> 00:05:12.528
Pause for a second. and let that sink in.
00:05:13.335 --> 00:05:19.655
The same moral outrage, the same judgment, the same script, different actors, same story.
00:05:19.915 --> 00:05:24.895
That's how this game works. Both sides so-called enemies are reading from this
00:05:24.895 --> 00:05:26.695
same exact fucking playbook.
00:05:27.055 --> 00:05:31.015
Everyone's busy fighting each other and nobody's watching the fucking system.
00:05:31.355 --> 00:05:33.395
And here's what really gets me.
00:05:33.895 --> 00:05:41.075
The pattern isn't new. All of this, the chaos, the outrage, the division was
00:05:41.075 --> 00:05:43.735
happening in 2020. right before COVID hit.
00:05:43.975 --> 00:05:47.455
And then COVID hit, and overnight, everything escalated.
00:05:47.935 --> 00:05:52.795
Fear exploded, trust vanished, rights disappeared, rules changed permanently,
00:05:53.275 --> 00:05:58.175
wealth shifted upward, and most people too busy fighting each other to even fucking notice.
00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:03.835
Now, in 2026, we see the same signals.
00:06:04.415 --> 00:06:11.055
Rising outrage, constant moral certainty, viral narratives, social media feeding the rage cycle.
00:06:11.255 --> 00:06:15.155
And the question is, if history repeats itself, what's next?
00:06:15.595 --> 00:06:18.915
Because the next act usually is huge. A crisis, an emergency,
00:06:19.395 --> 00:06:22.535
something that forces people to say, we didn't have a choice.
00:06:22.915 --> 00:06:26.175
And the people pulling the strings, they already planned it.
00:06:26.655 --> 00:06:30.395
Let's slow down here. I want you to really think about this.
00:06:30.635 --> 00:06:35.575
If you can't criticize your own side, if you only attack the other side while
00:06:35.575 --> 00:06:39.475
ignoring your own, you're not really informed. You're owned.
00:06:40.115 --> 00:06:43.755
Being far middle doesn't mean neutral. It means you see the game,
00:06:43.915 --> 00:06:48.975
you see the patterns, and once you see them, you can't fucking unsee them.
00:06:49.415 --> 00:06:51.115
Think about this pattern closely.
00:06:51.575 --> 00:06:55.855
These patterns closely, all right? 2020, the outrage over a single event.
00:06:56.095 --> 00:06:59.095
People pick a team, morality simplified to black and white.
00:06:59.875 --> 00:07:06.935
2026, outrage over a single event. People pick a team, morality simplified to black and white.
00:07:07.555 --> 00:07:09.455
Notice how the language is almost identical?
00:07:10.743 --> 00:07:14.623
Should have, shouldn't have, moral failing, criminal behavior,
00:07:14.923 --> 00:07:17.643
outrage, cancel, destroy, just flip sides.
00:07:18.023 --> 00:07:23.023
And the money moves quietly while the rest of us are here just busy yelling.
00:07:23.843 --> 00:07:28.363
Now, let's slow it down and really consider the Minneapolis money angle.
00:07:28.603 --> 00:07:33.063
Billions moved, billions vanished, billions nobody explains.
00:07:34.163 --> 00:07:38.303
And while people argue over the morality of protests, guns, and viral videos,
00:07:38.303 --> 00:07:42.443
was the real shifts in power and wealth happened quietly.
00:07:42.863 --> 00:07:48.743
It's almost laughable, honestly. If it weren't so infuriating,
00:07:49.663 --> 00:07:54.783
billions shifted while we were busy performing outrage online and the exact
00:07:54.783 --> 00:08:01.603
same thing is happening again in 2026 with other headlines, other crisis, other distractions.
00:08:02.163 --> 00:08:06.923
Let's talk about COVID as a turning point. Remember early 2020, people panicked.
00:08:06.923 --> 00:08:12.323
Government imposed rules, some justified, some not Media amplified worst-case
00:08:12.323 --> 00:08:18.283
scenarios Everyone had an opinion No one had the full picture And while people
00:08:18.283 --> 00:08:21.263
were fighting over masks, lockdowns, vaccines,
00:08:21.483 --> 00:08:26.263
and politics The biggest shifts were happening quietly Wealth-concentrated,
00:08:26.403 --> 00:08:32.483
rights quietly eroded Rules rewritten, systems changed permanently And most
00:08:32.483 --> 00:08:37.063
people missed it Because they were too busy being outraged Sound familiar?
00:08:37.763 --> 00:08:39.863
That's exactly what we see now.
00:08:40.163 --> 00:08:44.243
The same emotional setup, the same fear cycles, the same distractions.
00:08:44.823 --> 00:08:48.943
And if history repeats, we should all be worried about what's coming next.
00:08:49.443 --> 00:08:52.123
Let's pause again. Think about this.
00:08:53.225 --> 00:08:58.525
Every single time this pattern repeats, the next act is usually justified by crisis.
00:08:59.145 --> 00:09:02.425
That's how the system works. The people aren't prepared.
00:09:02.805 --> 00:09:06.585
They see the pattern. The people who aren't, they're caught reacting,
00:09:07.045 --> 00:09:08.445
scrambling, and catching up.
00:09:08.905 --> 00:09:11.005
You all remember what happened in 2020, right?
00:09:11.765 --> 00:09:17.745
Everybody was trying to rush out and stock up on food, stock up on toilet paper, stock up on all this.
00:09:18.145 --> 00:09:26.265
People were too fucking scared to leave their houses and they would comply and
00:09:26.265 --> 00:09:30.545
go into these stores with these little paper masks that were doing absolutely nothing for them.
00:09:31.557 --> 00:09:37.277
And here we are. 2026, if we're not careful, we're going to be reliving 2020.
00:09:37.937 --> 00:09:41.237
Now, I know for myself, I sure as hell don't want to.
00:09:41.617 --> 00:09:47.897
I can't say that for anybody else, but I'm sure you folks don't want to as well. But here's the thing.
00:09:48.897 --> 00:09:52.237
Distractions happen for a reason. And we're seeing it.
00:09:52.757 --> 00:09:59.497
Billions were stolen by the Somalian people in Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
00:10:00.077 --> 00:10:04.877
The government up there in Minneapolis was on it.
00:10:05.497 --> 00:10:10.097
I mean, let's just be honest. I mean, how do these politicians think we're so
00:10:10.097 --> 00:10:14.697
naive to not ask the question, especially let's take Ilhan Omar here for a second.
00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:19.157
Ilhan Omar all of a sudden is worth $44 million.
00:10:20.117 --> 00:10:26.917
It's kind of hard to get $44 million when your yearly salary is only $175,000,
00:10:26.977 --> 00:10:28.837
$150,000, whatever it is.
00:10:29.497 --> 00:10:33.877
So tell me, you haven't spent much time in office, yet you have $44 million.
00:10:34.977 --> 00:10:38.117
Kind of weird, isn't it? Let's take a look at Tim Waltz.
00:10:38.597 --> 00:10:41.557
The moment that this stuff started happening up in Minneapolis,
00:10:42.217 --> 00:10:46.757
do you notice that ICE comes up there to start getting rid of the Somalians,
00:10:47.297 --> 00:10:51.357
and then all of a sudden, that Renee Good incident happened.
00:10:51.937 --> 00:10:54.657
And now we have another one that just happened this past weekend.
00:10:55.890 --> 00:11:01.030
I mean, you can't really, I mean, if it doesn't sound like a script,
00:11:01.050 --> 00:11:05.050
I'm a firm believer if it walks like a duck and acts like a duck, it's a fucking duck.
00:11:05.190 --> 00:11:07.570
Well, that's exactly what this is. It sounds like a script.
00:11:07.950 --> 00:11:13.550
It's acting like a script. So, therefore, it is a fucking script on what is happening.
00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:18.010
And unfortunately, too many people are falling for it. Because you guys don't
00:11:18.010 --> 00:11:19.750
want to ask the real fucking questions.
00:11:20.330 --> 00:11:25.110
The questions that people like myself will ask. that I don't care because I
00:11:25.110 --> 00:11:29.350
want to know why things are happening the way they are. So I ask those questions.
00:11:29.790 --> 00:11:34.210
I hold all people accountable for everything.
00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:36.490
That includes politicians.
00:11:38.030 --> 00:11:43.190
You know, like I said, you know, and now Tim Waltz has the balls to send in.
00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:48.350
And disrespect the National Guard so much.
00:11:48.830 --> 00:11:52.270
Sends them in to hand out coffee and donuts to protesters and protect the protesters.
00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:56.230
Because that's what we need to do. We need to protect the voters.
00:11:56.950 --> 00:12:01.090
Let's just be fucking brutally honest. You're not there protecting the protesters
00:12:01.090 --> 00:12:05.450
because if the protesters were conservative, you would be locking them up.
00:12:06.210 --> 00:12:11.930
But the fact is, the fact that the protesters there all probably voted for Tim
00:12:11.930 --> 00:12:13.110
Walz and Democrats alike,
00:12:13.330 --> 00:12:18.750
that is why the National Guard isn't doing anything except for sitting on the
00:12:18.750 --> 00:12:24.590
roadside, handing out coffee and donuts and, you know, hot chocolate to these fucking lunatics.
00:12:25.705 --> 00:12:29.525
Man, sure must be nice not to have a job and be out in the cold all day like
00:12:29.525 --> 00:12:34.065
that and, you know, just do stupid shit. Don't you think?
00:12:34.885 --> 00:12:37.645
I mean, I'm just being honest with you folks.
00:12:39.185 --> 00:12:45.165
So, here's the real fucking kicker. The danger is not the fights we're having.
00:12:45.645 --> 00:12:51.505
The danger is the fights we think we're having. While the bigger moves are actually
00:12:51.505 --> 00:12:55.125
happening quietly behind the scenes. So, what's the solution?
00:12:55.805 --> 00:13:01.585
Awareness Pattern recognition Following the money Asking the uncomfortable questions,
00:13:02.425 --> 00:13:08.085
Refusing to get dragged into the same Recycled outrage every single cycle Because
00:13:08.085 --> 00:13:13.545
the cycle will repeat As it always does And the people who notice first They
00:13:13.545 --> 00:13:15.085
get to play the game instead of being played.
00:13:16.217 --> 00:13:22.017
Let's repeat that for effect. Same script, different actors,
00:13:22.617 --> 00:13:25.037
same outcome. Watch closely.
00:13:25.477 --> 00:13:30.897
Follow the money. Don't get distracted. And above all, don't get played.
00:13:31.277 --> 00:13:35.097
Because 2026 is not new. It's just a remix.
00:13:35.497 --> 00:13:40.657
And if you're not careful, history is about to show you what comes next.
00:13:41.277 --> 00:13:46.197
And now, like I said, we saw what happened back then. we saw the history.
00:13:46.497 --> 00:13:52.557
You don't think our government doesn't have something in the background right now just to let loose?
00:13:52.937 --> 00:13:57.917
Because if you think that, man, I wish I can just live inside your head for
00:13:57.917 --> 00:14:00.957
five, 10 minutes to think that.
00:14:01.637 --> 00:14:08.837
Because the truth of this whole thing is what comes next, you know,
00:14:08.997 --> 00:14:10.237
it's not going to be good.
00:14:10.417 --> 00:14:14.857
They've already tried to, you know, started trying earlier to bring up COVID
00:14:14.857 --> 00:14:16.477
again, that COVID's making a comeback.
00:14:16.997 --> 00:14:21.177
Then it's a new strain of the flu. This new strain of the flu is getting everybody sick.
00:14:21.317 --> 00:14:25.337
Kids are dying, this and that. You see the fear cycles that are happening in the news outlets.
00:14:25.597 --> 00:14:30.917
You can't trust news outlets, folks, because they're part of the system.
00:14:31.477 --> 00:14:36.377
It's just propaganda being spewed by your local and your favorite anchors.
00:14:37.037 --> 00:14:40.857
Why wouldn't they take the money? They signed a contract for a reason.
00:14:40.857 --> 00:14:45.917
So they're gonna They're gonna read whatever's in front of them On that teleprompter
00:14:45.917 --> 00:14:50.097
And it doesn't matter what it is They're gonna read it And read it And read
00:14:50.097 --> 00:14:55.557
it And spread the fear Over and over and over again Because It's working,
00:14:56.077 --> 00:15:00.697
All this fear mongering It has worked And it's Worked so well.
00:15:01.994 --> 00:15:05.454
I'm just blown away that it still has for a lot of people. And,
00:15:05.454 --> 00:15:07.774
you know, just look at Minneapolis again.
00:15:07.954 --> 00:15:10.294
Again, I can't stop stressing on Minneapolis.
00:15:11.214 --> 00:15:12.674
We're seeing it happen up there.
00:15:13.854 --> 00:15:17.974
Minneapolis is where it all started again. You know, with the whole George Floyd
00:15:17.974 --> 00:15:19.814
thing. Then it started again with Rene Good.
00:15:19.994 --> 00:15:23.214
But it started before Rene Good because the billions that were caught,
00:15:23.654 --> 00:15:27.754
you know, from Nick Shirley going up there and doing investigation,
00:15:27.754 --> 00:15:32.274
you know, reporting, you know, to find out what the fuck is going on. on.
00:15:33.014 --> 00:15:36.434
You have to send a YouTuber to go up.
00:15:36.594 --> 00:15:40.574
A YouTuber goes up there on his own dime and does all this, and then all this
00:15:40.574 --> 00:15:44.514
happens because they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
00:15:45.474 --> 00:15:53.654
You think Tim Walz just stepped away from running to be governor again? No, man.
00:15:53.874 --> 00:15:56.854
He didn't just fucking step away because he didn't want to be governor.
00:15:57.014 --> 00:15:58.734
He stepped away because he had to.
00:15:59.294 --> 00:16:01.954
See, because once he steps away, he can't be subpoenaed by Congress.
00:16:02.794 --> 00:16:06.774
If he gets reelected, he gets subpoenaed by Congress, and he has to actually
00:16:06.774 --> 00:16:07.934
fucking tell him what happened.
00:16:08.394 --> 00:16:13.874
But the fact of him not running again and getting reelected,
00:16:14.154 --> 00:16:16.934
now Congress is going to have an even harder time trying to get him in office,
00:16:17.274 --> 00:16:18.514
trying to find out where that money is.
00:16:18.694 --> 00:16:22.394
Hence why we are fucking seeing what is happening up there right now with all
00:16:22.394 --> 00:16:25.214
this chaos and all this crap that's happening. But...
00:16:26.363 --> 00:16:29.343
You guys just think it's, some people just seem to think it's,
00:16:29.443 --> 00:16:32.423
you know, it's not a script. It's not part of whatever.
00:16:32.643 --> 00:16:36.203
It's just, you know, this guy, Renee Good was such a good person.
00:16:36.463 --> 00:16:42.343
You know, she was murdered by an ICE agent for doing absolutely nothing.
00:16:42.343 --> 00:16:46.803
But, well, let's, I mean, let's recap that. Like, I did in my one episode.
00:16:47.503 --> 00:16:50.943
Renee Good, you know, was such an excellent mother that, you know,
00:16:51.023 --> 00:16:55.583
she had her six-year-old in school while her and her wife were impeding an investigation
00:16:55.583 --> 00:17:01.663
for ICE that was trying to get a sexual predator off the streets.
00:17:02.983 --> 00:17:08.563
So her wife, who ultimately I would blame for her death by telling her to go,
00:17:08.663 --> 00:17:13.603
baby, go, baby, go, for doing what she did, ended up suffering the ultimate
00:17:13.603 --> 00:17:17.263
sacrifice by being shot for almost hitting an ICE agent.
00:17:17.663 --> 00:17:23.123
And then we see this gentleman that got shot and killed over the weekend.
00:17:23.423 --> 00:17:28.843
Now, that one's different in a lot of different ways because,
00:17:28.843 --> 00:17:33.263
you know, there's different opposing video that's out there that shows that
00:17:33.263 --> 00:17:37.543
he didn't have his firearm, that he was disarmed at the time that he got shot.
00:17:38.183 --> 00:17:42.783
If that is truly the case, then that agent needs to be arrested.
00:17:43.223 --> 00:17:47.683
That agent needs to be held accountable because that's not right.
00:17:48.734 --> 00:17:54.774
Now, I can sit here and say that, you know, and take the side of most conservatives
00:17:54.774 --> 00:18:02.214
and say, you know, you shouldn't be bringing a gun to a protest, which you shouldn't.
00:18:02.434 --> 00:18:05.254
Kyle Rittenhouse was wrong for that, and I will agree with that.
00:18:05.654 --> 00:18:09.594
He shouldn't have brought his gun. But Kyle Rittenhouse, I think it was a different
00:18:09.594 --> 00:18:11.494
scenario at the time. He was more
00:18:11.494 --> 00:18:16.554
protecting the businesses up in Kenosha rather than going to a protest.
00:18:18.154 --> 00:18:21.234
So different kind of scenarios in a
00:18:21.234 --> 00:18:24.254
way but still not so much
00:18:24.254 --> 00:18:30.434
bottom line is if you're gonna go to a protest go exercise your first amendment
00:18:30.434 --> 00:18:34.674
right i'm all for that i don't give a fuck who you are if you want to exercise
00:18:34.674 --> 00:18:38.214
your first amendment right you have that fucking right that's your constitutional
00:18:38.214 --> 00:18:42.934
right and nobody can take that away from you but do it smartly do it wisely,
00:18:43.494 --> 00:18:46.274
Because if you go into these areas With a firearm.
00:18:47.014 --> 00:18:52.554
And they tell you to disarm yourself And you don't This is what's going to happen
00:18:52.554 --> 00:18:57.974
And I partially like to think That this is what the powers that be Want to happen
00:18:57.974 --> 00:19:01.874
They want a civil war They want us all against each other They want us all,
00:19:02.374 --> 00:19:06.074
At each other's fucking throats Let's just be fucking brutally honest here,
00:19:06.754 --> 00:19:12.294
Because that's how they're going to win They're going to win Because we are,
00:19:12.834 --> 00:19:13.934
at each other's throats.
00:19:14.654 --> 00:19:17.614
The left's against the right, the right's against the left, everybody hates everybody.
00:19:17.814 --> 00:19:20.974
If you say one thing bad about one side, you're going to be attacked.
00:19:21.174 --> 00:19:24.174
And I know this from fact because I say shit about both sides and I'm attacked
00:19:24.174 --> 00:19:28.054
by either side of the aisle and I don't fucking care because they don't want
00:19:28.054 --> 00:19:32.194
to hear it because they're blindly supporting a politician, whereas I don't.
00:19:32.714 --> 00:19:37.494
So it's easier for me and people like myself to call out the bullshit.
00:19:37.914 --> 00:19:40.254
But this is what the government wants. This is what they want.
00:19:40.334 --> 00:19:44.234
They want the Civil War. They want to be able to implement things.
00:19:44.899 --> 00:19:48.139
You know, whatever they want. They want full control.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:53.239
Power needs control. And the easiest way to control people is to dumb them down,
00:19:53.459 --> 00:19:57.739
to make them not want to do things, not have jobs, depend on the government, all this stuff.
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:02.479
Why do you think, you know, like society is the way it is?
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.659
It's more acceptable for kids to sit at home and play video games all day,
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:12.179
eat a bunch of trash food, get fat, get lazy, and not do a damn thing.
00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:16.399
Because those are the easiest people to control. So this was back.
00:20:17.219 --> 00:20:23.239
Back, like way back when, you know, people ate healthy people,
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.799
you know, they went to school, they played outside, they did stuff.
00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:29.299
They weren't stuck behind a screen the entire time.
00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:34.359
They weren't, physical fitness was a big part of society.
00:20:34.999 --> 00:20:41.059
Well, let's be honest. It wouldn't have been so easy to control those people as it is today.
00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:44.979
But also the fact that people are just, I mean, you have the indoctrination
00:20:44.979 --> 00:20:48.839
camps now, which are schools, that indoctrinate kids.
00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:52.119
And unfortunately, you see parents doing the same fucking thing.
00:20:52.399 --> 00:20:57.619
I saw a video of a lady that was letting her child, her fucking child,
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.259
watch what happened up in Minnesota over the weekend.
00:21:01.427 --> 00:21:04.427
Like, and the words that were coming out of this kid's mouth,
00:21:05.127 --> 00:21:10.667
MAGA this, MAGA that, you know, very pro-left talk, talking points,
00:21:10.807 --> 00:21:14.007
which I'm assuming his mom was that.
00:21:14.407 --> 00:21:20.527
So you have parents that don't allow your kids to make up their own mind and
00:21:20.527 --> 00:21:24.067
start putting their viewpoints and their beliefs into their kids'
00:21:24.207 --> 00:21:29.687
heads just to make good little liberals, good little fucking robots.
00:21:30.647 --> 00:21:35.027
And the scary part about that is, is those kids that are watching this and like
00:21:35.027 --> 00:21:39.307
for that mother to do that to her son, that's the future of this nation,
00:21:39.587 --> 00:21:42.427
this whole nation, this whole country is those kids.
00:21:43.227 --> 00:21:47.947
I'm glad I'm at the age I'm at. I'm glad I don't have kids because I would not
00:21:47.947 --> 00:21:52.187
want my kids or grandkids to live in a society that is like it is today.
00:21:52.987 --> 00:21:59.167
Because, let's be honest, man Our society is fucked I mean, you always thought
00:21:59.167 --> 00:22:03.507
it was, you know, black Blacks versus whites versus this versus that Oh,
00:22:03.607 --> 00:22:07.567
man It's sad Our government wants that.
00:22:08.584 --> 00:22:13.124
And so you start questioning those things and asking those questions.
00:22:14.104 --> 00:22:19.564
You're just going to live with your blinders on. Is that a way to really want to live your life?
00:22:20.144 --> 00:22:23.304
Do you really want to live your life with blinders on just looking one thing?
00:22:23.484 --> 00:22:26.944
Like, I just see this in front of me. That's it. I don't see anything else that's
00:22:26.944 --> 00:22:28.164
going on on the right or the left.
00:22:28.944 --> 00:22:33.624
Because you guys are doing a good fucking job at it. So what do I think is going to happen next?
00:22:34.444 --> 00:22:39.304
Well, if the script remains the same, just different players,
00:22:40.024 --> 00:22:43.944
I can see something coming up in the next, when we got midterms coming,
00:22:44.064 --> 00:22:45.184
so probably close to midterms.
00:22:45.424 --> 00:22:49.064
I wouldn't be surprised if something pops off out of the woodworks,
00:22:49.104 --> 00:22:52.344
another illness of some sort, mysterious illness,
00:22:53.064 --> 00:22:58.244
another fast vaccine, more people dying, more people at each other's throats,
00:22:58.324 --> 00:22:59.364
more fighting, more arguing,
00:23:00.044 --> 00:23:05.204
families being broken up, friends lost, family lost all over bullshit,
00:23:05.784 --> 00:23:08.924
that's exactly what's happening that's what happened in 2020 that's exactly
00:23:08.924 --> 00:23:13.264
what's happening now how many of you can actually say that you can go because
00:23:13.264 --> 00:23:18.424
I have a family that has some liberals in it you know and it's very hard to
00:23:18.424 --> 00:23:21.364
have family anything with them because.
00:23:22.504 --> 00:23:27.064
They automatically look at you because you know they think you're conservative
00:23:27.064 --> 00:23:30.744
like my family you know some the liberals in my family think I'm a conservative
00:23:30.744 --> 00:23:32.844
because I have very conservative viewpoints.
00:23:33.384 --> 00:23:39.804
But again, I see things for what it is on both sides.
00:23:40.804 --> 00:23:45.624
But because they look at me and they think I'm this conservative,
00:23:46.424 --> 00:23:49.104
tensions are very high, very high.
00:23:49.504 --> 00:23:53.904
It's very rare that I get together with everybody in my family because we do
00:23:53.904 --> 00:23:56.984
have some that are liberals because they don't want to.
00:23:57.404 --> 00:24:00.124
Hell, I just had a death in the family.
00:24:00.744 --> 00:24:05.284
And literally, it was my uncle, who's a liberal. He came.
00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:10.780
Barely said two words to me. And it's like, okay. And I know my uncle doesn't
00:24:10.780 --> 00:24:11.920
like me and I'm okay with that.
00:24:14.020 --> 00:24:17.480
I'm a grown ass man. I'm okay. If you don't like me, if you hate me,
00:24:17.520 --> 00:24:18.880
you don't like me, I don't fucking care.
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:22.560
But it was just ironic, you know? It's like, yeah, even at a funeral,
00:24:22.820 --> 00:24:27.800
at a death, you know, you just get the cold shoulder from that relative because
00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:30.560
of his beliefs don't match yours.
00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:35.340
Whatever happened in the time where You know, I remember, you know Growing up,
00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:39.200
you know, you can hear the conversations Between neighbors Parents and neighbors,
00:24:39.260 --> 00:24:45.060
and they would always talk about How the government was just fucking Everybody and this and that And.
00:24:46.214 --> 00:24:51.034
It wasn't about what side of the aisle you were on. It was about the government
00:24:51.034 --> 00:24:53.674
as a whole was fucking you.
00:24:54.494 --> 00:24:58.494
Not that you're conservative, not that you're a Democrat or a liberal,
00:24:58.994 --> 00:25:00.674
but the government in a whole was fucking you.
00:25:01.194 --> 00:25:03.954
And they all got along. They got along just fine. They were all laughing.
00:25:04.094 --> 00:25:06.194
They were all, you know, we would have them over for fucking,
00:25:06.194 --> 00:25:09.534
you know, barbecues, all that stuff. And everybody would just have fun and,
00:25:09.714 --> 00:25:10.474
you know, just get along.
00:25:11.334 --> 00:25:15.114
Now you can't do that. You think you're going to be able to invite your neighbor
00:25:15.114 --> 00:25:20.434
over? that's a, if you have conservative views, invite your neighbor over.
00:25:20.614 --> 00:25:23.754
If you're, you know, if, well, let's just say if you're conservative,
00:25:24.034 --> 00:25:27.414
do you think you can invite your liberal friend over to a barbecue or not even
00:25:27.414 --> 00:25:31.534
a friend, your liberal neighbor over to a barbecue and be able to have a civil conversation?
00:25:31.894 --> 00:25:35.754
Because nine times out of 10, it turns into name calling. It turns into this,
00:25:35.854 --> 00:25:39.214
it turns into that. And then you're arguing, then you're fighting, you're bickering.
00:25:39.394 --> 00:25:41.654
And it's just I'm not coming back over there. Fuck this person.
00:25:41.754 --> 00:25:45.394
Because you don't want to take the time to get to know the actual person themselves,
00:25:45.394 --> 00:25:51.614
because you've already based your opinion of this person on his viewpoints.
00:25:52.394 --> 00:25:58.774
How is that living a good life? How is that being able to create conversations? How is that?
00:25:59.714 --> 00:26:04.914
How do you justify that? So I think on that note, that's where I'm going to leave it today.
00:26:05.034 --> 00:26:08.654
And I know this was kind of a heavy episode. It's going to make you think.
00:26:08.974 --> 00:26:14.514
And that's what this is intended to do is to make you think and to question everything.
00:26:15.114 --> 00:26:18.654
Whether you're on the right or the left, question it all.
00:26:19.194 --> 00:26:23.374
And maybe, just maybe, you might find yourself coming more closer to the middle.
00:26:24.094 --> 00:26:29.954
And that's what we need right now. We need more people in the middle to facilitate conversation.
00:26:30.754 --> 00:26:33.134
Because without it, we're just doomed.
00:26:34.114 --> 00:26:36.294
All right, folks, I want to thank you guys for watching today.
00:26:36.394 --> 00:26:37.254
I want to thank you for listening.
00:26:38.774 --> 00:26:41.754
Wherever you're listening to this, at, if you can definitely do me a favor,
00:26:42.014 --> 00:26:45.814
hit the like button, share it, leave a comment, rate the show.
00:26:47.195 --> 00:26:49.655
If you're over on social media, you can find me over on Facebook and Instagram.
00:26:49.835 --> 00:26:51.835
Those are the two spots. I'm very heavily active.
00:26:52.415 --> 00:26:56.995
And in the bio, you'll find those two links. One to the website, thehammirdrops.com.
00:26:57.155 --> 00:26:59.955
The other is a link tree that will take you to all the other spots,
00:26:59.995 --> 00:27:01.395
including YouTube, where you can find me.
00:27:01.615 --> 00:27:05.715
While you're over on YouTube watching this, make sure to hit that subscribe button.
00:27:05.935 --> 00:27:11.635
Help me build up that channel because it's been a real drag to build that up.
00:27:11.815 --> 00:27:16.295
It doesn't get the output that it should, but it's the algorithms once I break
00:27:16.295 --> 00:27:20.495
them and by you subscribing and liking and starting to share this stuff,
00:27:20.695 --> 00:27:24.075
it's going to break those algorithms to be able to get this stuff out to more and more people.
00:27:25.235 --> 00:27:28.335
So until the next time, folks, let's try to be good to one another.
