MAGA or you're, you know, drinking soy lattes, you know, whatever, you know, and there's there's a lot of people that are just like, we're just regular people, but we don't want a dictator. We don't want to see people rip people's benefits ripped away, especially veterans and people who have worked their whole life to pay into Social Security.
i just don't understand you know if if someone was going to trick americans into what has happened i would i would have like thought it might have been like a brad pitt or someone a little bit cooler or whatever like the fact that elon musk the guy looks like he's he's literally seems like a villain from a movie so me mixed with the guy that's like mid nervous breakdown and donald trump's just a clown i just can't believe how they've been the two that have that are swaying people's

Chinese fucking red that they all wear and I think it's dying their brains. You got the black on black Elon Musk true Nazi edition. And then my man here, he's getting ready for summer with a nice fucking light white one, all right?
No, bro, listen, I admire your dedication, but I will ask everyone, if you're in a room full of people and you want to know who's in a cult, how do you know who's in a cult? They've been holding up a fucking hat the whole night to represent a president. This is America. There's no kings here. Anyway, anyway, do you mind, sir?
We're gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who, like, fought Nazis in the war and shit, you know? So if you could just shut the fuck up for five minutes. Thank you.
Where the f*** are all the other punk bands? The reason we speak out, we don't care if we lose fans because when history is said and done, we want it known that Dropkick Murphy stood with the people, we stood with the workers. Okay? And, and, and, it's all a f***ing scam, guys, okay? I want to propose, in the name of decency and fairness, sir, I'd like to propose a friendly wager.
You can't lose this wager. Would you, in the name of dialogue and discourse, and I appreciate you being here, would you agree to a friendly wager? He says, sure. That's a good sport. Well, first of all, do you support American workers? Of course you do. Of course you do. Okay. So, do you support American businesses? Obviously. Okay.
So, I don't know if you guys are aware, because we don't go around f***ing bragging about it, but Dropkick Murphy's always sells proudly made in America merchandise only. And here's the bet I'd like to make. If you lose the bet, we switch shirts, okay? If you win the bet, I give you $100 in the shirts, right? That's why I said you can't lose, right?
So, he is a good sport. He's taking the shirt off. We're taking crime off the streets. God bless your fucking heart. That's a good sport. You get one proudly made in America dropkick Murphy shirt.
Yeah, so, you know, obviously being around as long as we have and since our very first album, you know, when we started in 96, we've always kind of been this, you know, pro working class, pro union band. And a lot of our politics have been about our experiences in the workforce before we started the band and, you know, family history and unions and union politics and union organizing.
So it's always been near and dear to our heart and our fan base. was lockstep with us. And we had a lot of military support, first responders, rank and file union people. and once that guy came down the escalator, man, and started telling everyone the lie, you know, all of a sudden, you know, a big portion of our fan base is like, what's with this politics all of a sudden?
I said, all of a sudden we, one thing I can say is that we have not changed our message from the beginning in 1996 till now. Unfortunately, a lot of people, you know, that, that are in all those categories I mentioned have been tricked to think that a grifter billionaire who wouldn't know how to sit in a room full of regular people is looking out for their best interests.
So my goal is not to come out on stage and parade our fans. Those two instances you just showed, the second one that you showed in Florida, when I did the wager with the guy, he was actually a very good sport, you know, and, and, you know, he lost the bet and he took off his shirt and it was good. And after the show, and I was talking to fans down front, he was there.
And I said, Hey, thanks for being a good sport. And he said, I've been coming to see you for 20 years and I don't let politics and I consider you family and I don't let politics come between family. And I was like, man, that gave me a lot of hope, you know, that, that we can come back together because ultimately if you,
you know, if it's just that by, by an uprising or whatever it is, we, you know, gain, you know, power backwards, a general strike, whatever it might be, you know, we're still going to be a divided country, you know? So I'd love to have the hope that someday we will, you know, politics might be boring again and we can all be friends again.
You know, the other guy, the first clip he showed with the hat, he was coming in more of a, you know, he had held the hat up all night, putting it in people's faces and you know, he was looking for the attention. So like, I'm not really looking to, you know, stop.
I'm looking to play music and I oftentimes will comment before a song, you know, something about our beliefs, but I'm really not looking to stop the show and turn it into a political rally. But, you know, I do have to call out the hypocrisy when I see it, especially if it's being put in my face at a show, you know.
Yeah. Well, people will say to us like, yeah, we know this is your politics, but why are you like, you know, they want to, the right that follows us wants to be able to just kind of know our politics, but not have to be faced with it, you know? And they said, well, why all of a sudden so much? I said, well, we always have, if it's more now, it's because we're in a crisis.
And if we don't speak up now, we're going to lose the opportunity to speak up. And, um, And all the things you mentioned, especially, you know, like organized labor. And I get it. I get the anger and people feeling like the Democrats have let them down as well.
But if you want to look at the voting records and you want to look at, like you said, the two guys in charge, whoever you want to call the president, I'm not sure which one really is. They literally laugh at working class people. How you can vote with that, I don't know. And I do see a change because I think that...
