When you were ready to double down, dive in, try for a shell, and not look back. Roll into Pearl River Resort. From tea times to table games, water slides by day, slots by night, Savor the flavors, feel the food. Win big. Let's roll into Pearl River Resort. Must be twenty what or order to play? Gambling problem called one hunter gambler? Is there any hope of any type of common ground between liberals and conservatives these days? Is there any hope of finding that center that they always like

to talk about. When the moment something happens, we divide ourselves into one of two camps, or either on this side the blue side, or you're on this side, the red side. There's no dialogue, there's no debate anymore. And that leads us to the question, is there ever going to be We've become more divided now than we've ever been.

If you look at the shooting in Minnesota with the Ice agent that killed the protester that possibly was going to run them over, before there were any facts, before there was any clear video, and again there may still not be. People had already picked a side. You either believed the Ice agent was acting in self defense. Or you believe if it was called blood and murder. There's no middle ground anymore. Used to we'd wait until we saw more facts before we started to draw the conclusions.

But we don't do that anymore. You see time and time again that the two camps can't wait to pick a side. I'm one of those people that still wants to err on the side of caution. I still want to see more facts. I want to see more evidence brought forth so that way I can draw a logical, rational conclusion, not just on the incident I just referenced, but on many topics of the day. Take the United States going and taking the Venezuelan president and bringing him

to New York to hold him in a trial. Again, the moment it happened, you were either this is awesome or you were this is the worst thing in the world. But you don't want to wait and find out if there's actually any facts that might back up your position. No, you are decidedly in one of your tribes. You're either in the blue tribe or the red tribe. And it's not that cut and dry people anymore. We need to get back to the days of logic and reason. We need to get back to the days where we can

actually have honest dialogue about things. But when one side just screams at you and tells you that you're bigoted for believing anything, or that you're horrendous for supporting a murderer, it's hard to find common crown with those type of people. And I understand and the reason why I want to point out that both sides are doing it nowadays. Used to it was just the lunatic, insane liberal. But I think there are a lot of folks on the Red team who've just been pushed too far and are starting

to fight back more and more. Maybe this is a good thing, Maybe it's not. We can't sit down and have conversations for goodness sake. After Trump was reelected last year, there were actual liberals that were considering and I think many of them actually went through with it, boycotting all of the holidays. That meant no Thanksgiving with your family, no Christmas with your family, because they just couldn't stomach sitting in the same room with somebody that voted for

Donald Trump. I'm here to tell you people, life is too short for some of this silly, stupid stuff that you're going to allow yourself to miss out on meaningful family moments. I just don't get it. I don't understand the rationale. I don't understand how we got this far. Or maybe I do. Maybe it's because the fact that when one side is allowed to call you names and attack your character and say whatever they want about you,

it gets old. So I kind of get it, but I just don't know that I can ever move away from being the logic and reason person. We live in a world now where there are people that are honestly calling Rand Paul a rhino because he's had disagreements with Donald Trump. Rand Paul is anything but a rhino. Tomas Massey is anything but a rhino. The principal people who are fighting for what they believe in. And as I've

said before, it's okay to disagree with President Trump. That doesn't mean you don't support him, that doesn't mean that you don't think he's been doing a good job. But you don't have to agree with him on every position. But that's how far this divide has become that if you ever are seen questioning anything on the red team, then you must secretly be a part of the blue team. If you're ever questioning the Blue team, you must secretly

be a part of the Red team. It's one of those things that if we don't figure out a way to find some commonality once again, Yes, this grand experiment will collapse. Maybe that's what has to happen. Maybe that's the end game altogether. But I still love this country and I want to see it succeed. And that's why I encourage people. I say it all the time. If you listen to my show, research it. Don't just take me as the end all be all fact. If you disagree with me, let me know. I'm okay with it.

I'm a big boy. I don't think that you're going to agree with every single position I take. It's just not something that I believe is possible. I don't know, people. I mean, it's just we're getting to that point faster and faster to where I think that we are going off a cliff and at some point we're not going to be able to bounce back from it. Maybe that's what's supposed to happen. Maybe that's the best thing, but

I don't know. This has been morning coffee with the Right Side, and I'm your host, Jack Fairchilds and we're a part of the Midnight Ride Network. This show has been brought to you by Pearl River Casino and Resort,
