Too many entertainers are completely out of touch with the real world — so much so, they don't realize that the more we have to hear them drone on, the more we tend to simply tune out.

Mick Jagger spoke with The New York Times recently about the role of politics in his music. Political strategists Erin Maguire and Dan Kanninen join "The Takeout" to discuss.

Mick Jagger Has Some Sage Advice For Trump-Hater Springsteen Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News, Mick Jagger is pushing back against the trend of rock stars turning stages into campaign rallies, offering a refreshing contrast to Bruce Springsteen's repeated anti-Trump outbursts. In a recent New York Times podcast interview, Jagger made his position crystal clear. While contrasting his approach with Springsteen's, he stated: "My job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time ... And you don't want to lecture them." Mick Jagger Says It's Not His Job to Lecture Rolling Stones' Fans on Politics NYT: "Bruce Springsteen clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth."

And you... pic.twitter.com/PmNaTgLjs7 July 11, 2026 This comes as Springsteen has made a habit of injecting leftist political commentary into his shows, often targeting President Trump and his administration. From calling Trump "treasonous and corrupt" during his European tour to labeling America itself a "reckless, unpredictable, predatory, untrustworthy, rogue nation" in a DC concert, the so called Boss has turned performances into platforms for activism. Grammy-winning musician Bruce Springsteen began his European tour by calling President Donald Trump a "treasonous and corrupt" leader. Springsteen urged the crowd to rise up, speak out against authoritarianism, and "let freedom ring."

He gets it. pic.twitter.com/nQFv6sAqyL July 11, 2026 Springsteen is not engaging in a meaningful back and forth, he's engaging in lies and propaganda. July 12, 2026 Jagger's been around the block enough times to know how that sort of thing plays out. He's witnessed first hand what happens when musicians lose themselves in political messaging. Good on him for not stepping in it. July 12, 2026 Too bad more musicians and actors don't heed Jagger's advice. I have zero interest in supporting any entertainment personality who thinks they have some moral high ground obligation to tell me who I can support politically. It's none of their GD business. July 11, 2026 Mick knows. I was at a private event where U2 played and the entire show they used the monitors and interstitial comments to tell me to give all my money to Democrats and eradicate the evil that is Trump. Fuck them. pic.twitter.com/5WEhW5pcpU July 11, 2026 Jagger's comments strike a chord in an era where many entertainers seem more focused on pushing ideology than delivering the escapist joy fans pay for. While Springsteen sees his role as political engagement, Jagger understands that most concertgoers want to rock out, not endure lectures - especially from multimillionaire performers far removed from everyday struggles. This divide highlights a broader fatigue with celebrities who lecture from their bubbles while ignoring their own inconsistencies. America First means putting fans and freedom first, not turning every stage into a partisan soapbox. Jagger gets it. More should follow. Your support is crucial in helping us defeat mass censorship.

Jamie Dimon said running for president is a bit "quixotic." ANGELA WEISS / AFP via Getty Images Jamie Dimon said he's not sure if he'll be CEO in three years, weeks after the succession race heated up. Dimon said there's little to no chance he'll run for political office once he steps down. Instead, the 70-year-old said he'll likely write a book, teach, or pursue media. Last month, JPMorgan gave the world a better idea of who might succeed Jamie Dimon as CEO. And Dimon just gave a better idea of what he might do once that successor takes the job. Dimon, who has led JPMorgan since 2006, said that in addition to doing business "with people I like," he'll probably write a book about management or the financial crisis. Known as one of Wall Street's more outspoken CEOs, Dimon said he might take on public-facing roles, though he kept the details sparse. "I may teach somewhere, because I like teaching, and I might do something around a media-related thing," he told Axios in an interview that aired on Saturday. Many have speculated that Dimon might have his eyes set on the White House, but he said there's "pretty much no chance" he would run for office. "I'm very hard-pressed to think I should be doing something like that," he said with a light laugh, adding that he's never been a part of a campaign. "I'm a banker. I'm a New Yorker. I'm 70 years old. I've had a couple of health problems." Dimon underwent emergency heart surgery in 2020 and battled throat cancer in 2014. He added that politicians and their families face tremendous public scrutiny, and, besides, he could have a significant impact from his current position. Dimon has recently spearheaded geopolitical projects at JPMorgan, like a $1.5 trillion effort to boost US dominance and security, and a sweeping "American Dream Initiative." That doesn't mean Dimon and his colleagues won't also weigh in on political issues in the more traditional sense — JPMorgan launched a series called "From the desk of" in May, where senior leaders share their opinions on public policy. Though it's hard for some to imagine the end of the Dimon era at JPMorgan, a new leader may step up in the next few years. When asked whether he'll still be CEO in three years, Dimon said he didn't know, repeating his common refrain that it's up to the board and that he plans to stay on as executive chairman. In the past, he's been known for saying he'll be in the job at least five more years. Troy Rohrbaugh and Doug Petno recently emerged as the frontrunners to succeed Dimon after becoming co-presidents of JPMorgan in June. Read the original article on Business Insider
