Today we’re going to talk about something crucial—voting. Now, I know there are those who will tell you that your vote doesn’t matter, that the system is rigged, and that the powers that be will do what they want regardless. But let me tell you something: that’s exactly what they want you to believe. They want you to sit on the sidelines, silent and powerless. But in this episode, we’re going to break down why your vote is not just important—it’s essential. It’s a tool in your hands, a weapon in the fight for your future, your family, and your community.

The Economy – Who’s Really Benefiting?

We start by dissecting the economy. The politicians will tell you the economy is booming, but let’s be real—who’s really benefiting? Is it the big corporations that keep getting tax breaks while your paycheck barely covers rent? We’ll talk about how the policies pushed by those in power are designed to keep the rich richer and the poor struggling. But here’s the truth: we have the power to change that. When you vote, you’re not just checking a box—you’re demanding that your community gets its fair share. You’re saying that you won’t be left behind while the elite line their pockets.

Immigration – The Real Agenda

Next, we turn to immigration, a topic they use to divide us. They’ll tell you immigrants are the enemy, taking your jobs and straining your resources. But ask yourself—who’s really benefiting from this narrative? It’s the same people who profit from cheap labor and broken systems. We need to recognize the manipulation at play. We need to understand that immigration policies aren’t just about borders; they’re about power—who has it and who doesn’t. When you vote, you’re making a statement about the kind of society you want to live in—one that exploits division or one that unites us in the struggle for justice.

Gun Violence and Crime – Whose Streets?

Gun violence and crime are destroying our communities, and they know it. But instead of real solutions, they offer you band-aids. They’ll flood our streets with more police, more guns, more fear. But we know that’s not the answer. The real question is: why are our communities plagued by violence in the first place? What are the root causes that they refuse to address—poverty, lack of education, systemic oppression? When you vote, you’re demanding real change, real safety, real justice. You’re telling them that our streets belong to us, not to those who profit from our pain.

Opportunities Fighting for Our Future

Opportunities—how many times have they promised you the world, only to deliver scraps? They’ll tell you education is the key, but where are the resources for our schools? They’ll tell you to start a business, but where’s the support when the odds are stacked against you? We’re not asking for handouts; we’re demanding what’s rightfully ours. When you vote, you’re fighting for the future of your children, for the dignity of work, for the right to build something that’s your own. Don’t let them tell you that you’re powerless—your vote is your voice, and it’s time they heard us loud and clear.

Understanding the Game

The government—Executive, Legislative, Judicial—they all play a role in the system that governs our lives. But do we understand how this game is played? They rely on our ignorance, on our disengagement, to keep things the way they are. But here’s the reality: those in power only stay in power because we let them. Every time you vote, you’re playing the game on your terms, not theirs. You’re holding them accountable, reminding them who they work for. It’s not about trusting the system; it’s about making the system work for you.

Amtrak – Who Owns What?

Take Amtrak, for example—a company that’s supposed to serve the people but is controlled by the government. They created it to bail out the rich when they were in trouble, not because they cared about you having a ride to work. This is a lesson in how they operate—using public money to prop up private interests. When you vote, you’re challenging this system. You’re saying that public resources should serve the public good, not private gain.

Current Events:

Finally, we turn to the news of the day and the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago. History has a way of repeating itself, and we have to ask—are we about to see another 1968? The powers that be are nervous, and when they’re nervous, they get desperate. It’s in these moments that your vote, your voice, becomes more powerful than ever.
