The Jamie Kern Lima Show
James Talarico Reveals All (Pt 2): Fighting to Flip Tables + Take Texas, Christianity & the Country Back

We had to move venues a few times because we had so much interest out in deep red Longview.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show
James Talarico Reveals All (Pt 2): Fighting to Flip Tables + Take Texas, Christianity & the Country Back

And I remember I asked the audience, I said, uh,

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

Instead of, are you on the blue team or the red team?

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

I asked, do you have a parent or grandparent who needs care?

And you heard people agreeing.

I said, do you have a child or a grandchild who needs some kind of childcare, early childhood education and can't get it?

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

And there were nods of agreement.

I asked how many people here struggle with the burden of medical debt or credit card debt or student debt.

And you saw just heads nodding all over the room.

And I told the people there in Longview that I also know those things.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

I have also struggled with those same burdens.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

And so we're on the same team.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show
James Talarico Reveals All (Pt 2): Fighting to Flip Tables + Take Texas, Christianity & the Country Back

You're on my team and I'm on your team.

And the people at the very top who own the algorithms, who own the cable news networks, who own the politicians fighting on our screens, they wanna divide this team.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show
James Talarico Reveals All (Pt 2): Fighting to Flip Tables + Take Texas, Christianity & the Country Back

They want to pit us against each other.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show
James Talarico Reveals All (Pt 2): Fighting to Flip Tables + Take Texas, Christianity & the Country Back

They want us to be focused on how we're all different instead of on how we're all the same.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

Because whether you're black, white, brown, whether you're a Christian, Jew, a Muslim, an atheist, whether you're urban, suburban, rural, blue team, red team, I don't care.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

Like you can't afford anything.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

You can't get ahead, no matter how hard you work.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

And like, that's the real fight.
