Independence has a cost. And if you don't want to pay the cost of independence, then you got to pay the other costs of being fake and pretending to like people who you don't like.

Day all day. Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game.

This is Drey Baldwin. You're listening to Work on your game. I'm going to lay this out and explain it because, first of all,

in episode 1667, I already told you why I would fail in politics. And today's episode and

the next two, I'm going to go into more depth about why I would not make for a very good

politician, even though when I'm doing my live streams, again, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.

Eastern on all platforms that allow for streaming. So all your favorite social media is whichever one you want, from LinkedIn to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, to Facebook to Rumble to X and TikTok. All those streaming platforms, I do I stream 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, Eastern time. But anyway, when I'm doing those streams, sometimes people in the audience say, Dre, you are making for a good politician. Whenever I happen to mention politics and I tell people some things about politics that everyone needs to understand, such as some of the things I'm going to say here today, so I won't even tell you because I'll be giving away my points. But I'm going to go into more depth about why I would not be a good politician, even though I have some material that could help the masses of people if I had the platform of a politician, even though I have some ideas and frameworks that would help people with that platform. And it would allow my message to reach a whole lot of people. So it might be a good thing if I became a politician for that reason alone. Just the marketing alone, it would be a good thing for me to become a politician. But the reality is, for those you who don't understand how politics actually work, or those you do know how it work, is that you may not quite understand what I'm going to

explain here today and tomorrow and the day after. That's what I'm going to share. Because everything

in life has a cost and just having good ideas, I think I got a lot of good ideas and positive intentions. I also have positive intentions. Hopefully you agree with me. That is far from being good enough to be a successful politician, especially in the United States of America as our current political system is presently constructed. I'm going to explain and you're going to understand. Point number one.

Remember this is first of a three-part series. Today's topic once again is why I am not a politician.

Number one, when you are a politician in the United States of America, you have no choice but to lie for a living.

When you are a politician in the United States of America, you must lie for a living. L-I-E, lie. You cannot win an election in the United States of America by telling the truth. Okay? Here's the truth. Here's one of many truths that a politician should be telling you, but they can't tell you because if they told you this, they wouldn't win. Again, this is why I'm not a politician. Here it is. Politicians will not save you. I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican. If you love Trump, you hate Trump. If you are on the right or you're on the left, whatever politician is your favorite politician. Politicians will not save you. John Fitzgerald Kennedy back in 1960 said, ask not what your country can do for you. Instead what you can do for your country he had the right

approach now he didn't keep saying that over and over and over again because that he said that too much on

the campaign trail he wouldn't want just to keep it real and i would say stuff like that all the time

and that's why i would never win now why would i never win by saying something like that the way you win

elections in the united states of america especially at the federal level, is by promising things to the voters that you are going to do for them and not telling them they have to do anything. Just vote for me and I'm going to solve all your problems. You just assure them, vote for me, kick your feet up and just wait, and I'm going to do everything for you as the

elected official. That's what politicians have to do. That is the long and short of how you

win elections in the United States of America is that you do a better job than your opponent

of promising the people that you're going to solve all their problems. That's all it is.

Look at the last five presidential elections. Trump versus Harris, Trump versus Biden, Trump versus Clinton, Obama versus Romney, and Obama

versus McCain.

All five of them came down to this.
