No, I mean, look, and again, I've never served in the military, regret I have, but I wouldn't look at him as a war hero. I'd look at him maybe as like a cub scout or a boy scout, but that's about it.
Well, it didn't work because he embraced the social justice warrior rhetoric that was going around from the far left. And my members, I know my members better than anybody else. And I know working people. During this election, it wasn't about social issues at all. It was about the economy. It was about jobs. It was about taking home more on your paycheck. It was about less inflation.
And that's not the narrative they spoke in, which further leads to a point where you've lost touch with the people that you should be representing. And you don't talk to the people you should be representing. So that narrative clearly blew him out of the water.
Look, I think this, and I often tell people this, the Teamsters Union, and I'm a fourth generation Teamster, we've been fighting social injustices through the work that we do on behalf of the members that we represent. We negotiate strong contracts. We make sure there's wage equality. We make certain... that people are promoted based upon their ability. And that's what unions are for.
You know, I think embracing all of this rhetoric of the social justice system that they've basically doubled down on
it's not what the democrats or the democratic people in this country um and the other disturbing piece is you know i've been in conflict my entire life whether it was in my neighborhood i grew up with or my professional career and it's okay to have dialogue it's okay to have debate it's okay to have difference of opinions but this far left in this far left social justice revolution as i look at it uh if you don't agree with them and you don't look like them then you're automatically cast as a racist person
I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood. I went to a very diverse high school. I've got very diverse friends and they're clearly off the mark. It's kind of like they lost the game and they're sore losers about it.
Instead of like any other good team would do, step back, do a little adjusting, maybe get rid of some people on the DNC, embrace candidates that aren't so far left and that have the ability to work with people with difference of opinions, with different backgrounds and come to common ground and solutions to problems instead of creating problems.
No, listen, being from Boston, we drop F-bombs better than anybody, right? And when you're out there looking like fucking Ward Cleaver, right, trying to drop F-bombs and it's not authentic, people see right through that. But, you know, the reality of it is, you know, you can't teach instinct and you can't teach, you know, a moral compass on certain people.
And, you know, some of these people that are trying to act out now and trying to be something they're not, that's not what people want. There's the only way to fix what's broken in this country is to stop pointing fingers. I mean, I got pissed off. And look, I've called Republicans out. I've called I call balls and strikes. And what happens is.
I was getting criticized from the far left because we didn't do what most people did. We did the normal thing and listened to our members. And I was getting killed from the left. I was getting killed from the far right, especially after the RNC speech. And I started calling out the DSA operatives for defaming historic buildings and statutes in D.C., burning the flag.
But every time I called them out, they had an answer. Like I called someone on them. You think it's okay to burn the American flag? Their answer is, well, the Supreme Court doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. But morally, you don't think there's a problem with you burning the flag, taking a knee for the national anthem? That's bullshit.
People fought long and hard, men and women, sacrificed their lives for the freedom of this country. Respect the fucking country. I mean, that's the reality of it. And that's where it's too far left.
But isn't that troubling, though? Think about that. Like, you know, he couldn't interpret it the way he wanted to. Right. Because of his position. Right. We have an ability.
Well, Scalia, I mean, I wasn't a big fan of his Janus decision. And we probably have different opinions on right to work. I don't think right to work is good, but he heard us there. But as far as desecrating memorials, as far as desecrating the American flag, anybody that does that should be charged with a crime. I'm sorry.
Or if you speak the truth, you get a high five, right? So the RNC speech was great. Same thing. You've got the operatives in the RNC and. You know, I did the keynote speech, as you know, the Monday night of the RNC. So prior to this, you know, we're preparing our speech, my team, and it was a three, four week process going back and forth. And then we've got to submit the speech to the RNC.
Now, if you listen to my speech, I didn't choose a side in that whole speech. It was basically a message on behalf of American workers. I called out corporate elites. I've called out corporations. I called out the far left.
Today, the Teamsters are here to say we are not beholden to anyone or any party. And I don't care about getting criticized. It's an honor to be the first Teamster in our 121-year history to address the Republican National Convention. Think about this. The Teamsters are doing something correct. If the extremes in both parties think I shouldn't be on this stage...
have whatever opinion you want, but one thing is clear. President Trump is a candidate who is not afraid of hearing from new, loud, and often critical voices. And I think we all can agree whether people like him or they don't like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough SOB.
So we submit the speech. And the RNC people were like, oh, no, you have to change it. You have to change all the narratives. This isn't what we want. And I'm like, I'm not changing the fucking speech. Sorry. And so we reach out to Susie Wiles. And I'm like, look, I'm not going to speak because I'm not changing my speech. You guys asked me to speak. I have to speak the truth.
