2022 is ending. And it's time to reflect on year one of the Main Street Insiders podcast and newsletter. When we created Main Street Insiders roughly a year ago, our goal was to tell your story.
The Main Street Story
You're our hero—the Main Streeters of the world. When we say Main Street, we're not talking about a place. We're talking about everyday working people—the backbone of America.
The elites are our villains. Washington DC. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Wall Street. Hollywood. The ultra-rich. Celebrities. You get the picture. Of course, they're not all bad. We don't believe in conspiracies. We believe in human nature. Power corrupts. And the more you have, the more you want. So the elites choose to help each other because they have a common enemy—Main Streeters. They want to own your future and rent it back to you on their terms. Main Street is at war with the elites.
It's easy to get discouraged when you see our country (and the world) falling apart. Inflation. Recession. Record crime. Riots. Woke companies. The list goes on. And every time we turn on the news, there's something worse. So it's easy to see why two-thirds of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Our nation's collapse is not by accident. It's by design.
The elites will stop at nothing in their ruthless quest for power, and they gain power by taking it from you. First, they use slave labor to make their products cheap. Then they use shady marketing tricks to get you to buy more than you can afford. That includes getting you addicted to their social media platforms (which might make you depressed). That way, they can steal your info and sell it to advertisers. Luckily, they'll give you a loan to buy their stuff. Now you're trapped in debt, but at least you bought some cool things on Amazon!
We knew that so many of you felt powerless and alone—all you thought could do was post on social media and yell at the TV. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rebellions Are Built On Hope
We're just a regular father/son duo. And we see all the same problems you do. And still, we're optimists. Where others see hopelessness, we see a bright and exciting future—and a clear path to getting there. Perhaps quicker than you might think.
Main Streeters can beat the elites if we wake up and band together. They might be strong, but we're stronger. We build on a rich legacy of Main Streeters going back hundreds of years. From George Washington to Teddy Roosevelt. And everywhere you look, Main Streeters are already taking small wins.
Now, winning isn’t going to be easy. But it’s a worthwhile fight. And when we win, we'll put the America First principles in place. That means increased ownership, decentralized power, and family values. As a result, our children will have brighter futures than we did, our nation will prosper, and the people will hold the power.
At the beginning of the year, we promised to give you the news, education, and inspiration you need to beat the elites and own your future. So on top of publishing 48 articles, we also released 15 podcast episodes. Some of them are interviews with influential Main Street voices. Others are deep-dives on important issues. You can find them below.
This Is The Way
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us on this journey. We can't wait to share what's in store. The best is yet to come.
This is the way.
God bless and God bless America,
-Jeff and Luke
