I'm not an optimist and it has nothing to do with politics. So I agree with you. I think this election was kind of a last chance, but it wasn't a guarantee. And my worry is that our politicians are a function of the people.
um john adams it was either john adams or franklin said our system of government is wholly unsuited to an immoral people we were a nation found on christian principles by christian men who put christ and god as the foremost things in their lives and everything else was built around it our government was built around it the way we organized the states was built around it and it worked for a really long time until that foundation started to crumble
And I don't know when that started. Was it the Industrial Revolution? Was it Vietnam and the drug era? I don't know. But our moral fabric as a people is totally unrecognizable to someone who helped start the country.
and so my view is absent a true collective christian revival where we collectively repent for what we've done as a nation because god cares about nations he cares about the fate of nations he cares what nations do he blesses them and he curses them and he judges them and he lets them prosper Our nation had a covenant with God.
It was obvious why we were formed, because we wanted to have a place where people could come.
Do you think that is like the moral nucleus of our society today? Because I don't. And so I don't see, absent a true foundational change in us as a people collectively... I don't see how we ever turn the ship around. And so I pray. Obviously, I pray for the president. I pray for mayors and our leaders, even when I don't like them, because that's what we're commanded to do.
And because God has put them in place either for our judgment or our blessing.
Something has changed. It feels like on election night, scales came off people's eyes. It was a weird thing. Suddenly people are just saying things that they weren't supposed to say. You've got NFL players. You had John Jones, UFC, doing the Trump dance. After finishing a dude, words that people use and sentiments they espouse were completely verboten. And that seems to have changed.
I completely agree. There appears to be a spiritual aspect in hunger in people now that I find really, really heartening. But it's like seeing the seedling sprout. I want to see the giant hardwood. Of course. But of course it has to start with the seedling. Of course it does. But do you see it in your world? Absolutely.
Well, I think Trump and I have a good relationship. We've got a mutual respect for each other. Apparently you do. Yeah, absolutely.
and you know i think he knew uh the struggles that we had with our membership we've got 1.3 million members so you know that membership is made up of republican democrats and independents um and you know we knew all along where our membership was trending and we had to do a lot of polling and everything else and um we had a lot of communication uh during uh the campaign leading up to the rnc so i think he knew uh the spot that we were in if we just came out and did a straight endorsement
But we really couldn't do that because our process, we interviewed every single candidate from the people that entered the race early to the last two standing, which was Trump and Harris. And we interviewed them in a roundtable with rank and file members in our general executive board. And we provided each candidate with 16 of the same questions.
And, you know, the Trump was, you know, like all of them, they weren't strong on some of our issues and no fault of their own, because I don't think deep down they understood what our actual issues are. But at the end of the day, I think he knew that by us representing speaking at the RNC, representing the Teamsters Union, that he was actually showing.
America, the American workers, that he was for labor, he was for working people. And my message was clear. You were there, I saw you standing up with him. And my message didn't endorse the Republicans, Democrats, or independents. It was clearly about what the American worker needs from the administration. I just couldn't believe they let you do that.
Right. But, you know, I got to tell you this. It's funny. So, leading up to the RNC, we're writing our speech and we're going through it and, you know, we're editing it internally, all of us. Great team. And... We submit it to the RNC, the folks. I think we submitted probably a week prior. And we submit the speech, and some of the underlings in the RNC didn't like what we had to say. I bet.
And so they wanted to change it, modify it, and everything else. And we took a position. I took a position. Well, I'm not going then. And so we reached out to Susie Wiles and told her, look, we're not, we are not modifying this speech. And she's like, I don't think you should. She says, why don't you call DJ T and tell him?
So I called him on a cell phone and I said, listen, I said, they want us to modify this speech. He goes, I haven't seen it. He goes, I don't give a shit what you say. Do whatever you want, Sean. So 100% true. Oh, I believe you. So when we went there, I mean, obviously we were there.
Yeah, yeah. So he actually said, say whatever the fuck you want to say. That's exactly what he said. And when we went there, it was great. It was a home run. And I think part of the thought process from the Republican side was, look, if we get –
the general president of the biggest, strongest union in the country, that's going to signal to every working person that how committed the Republican Party is, the opportunity the Republican Party has to prove that they want to represent American workers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was hilarious. But conversely, you know, we asked to go to the DNC at the same time. And you know, and we know that if we ever submitted that speech to the DNC, they would have shit a brick. They would have been horrified. Because the people that we were talking about, the corporate elitists and everybody else, those are the people that the Democrats have fallen in love with.
