Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 183 ｜ Democrats Are Trump's 2020 Campaign Pitch

00:00:00.000 hey guys welcome to relatable happy wednesday i hope everyone had a great weekend is that a

00:00:11.700 wonderful week so far i am so sorry that we did not have an episode on monday there was

00:00:16.500 we had some technical difficulties there was some miscommunication and so an episode didn't go out

00:00:21.620 and i'm really sorry about that a lot of you emailed me and messaged me and said i don't know

00:00:26.040 if it's just me but your show is not coming up on my podcast app and no it's not just you it was

00:00:32.880 everyone so i apologize for that i think that's the first time that's ever happened that i've just

00:00:38.020 left you guys hanging and i felt really badly about that because you didn't have any warning but i

00:00:42.760 didn't really have any warning either so i'm sorry but we are back and we skipped theology monday

00:00:49.400 unfortunately we'll be back to that on monday but today is news day and there's a lot that's going

00:00:55.640 on there's always a lot that's going on we're going to talk about the 2020 election that of

00:01:00.580 course is gearing up and has been gearing up for a while now some updates on that and then i might

00:01:05.520 get into some other news if we have time yesterday state elections happened but as i'm recording this

00:01:12.680 yesterday is actually today and so i don't know the results of the state election so i can't talk

00:01:19.020 about that but a lot i can tell you in confidence that a lot of important things happened and a lot of

00:01:24.500 important things were decided and twitter was probably some kind of firestorm so i can say

00:01:29.500 that in pretty good confidence but we're going to talk about things that i actually know are

00:01:33.660 happening and have happened with the 2020 election so we are one year away one year away from the

00:01:41.000 presidential election does that not blow your hecking mind it blows it blows my mind i feel like the

00:01:49.860 presidential election honestly i'm not being hyperbolic i feel like it happened last year

00:01:54.740 i feel like trump was just elected president last year i remember i remember waking my husband woke me

00:02:01.420 up at like 3 a.m or something like that i just couldn't make it through i think a lot of us we

00:02:06.460 didn't want to believe that hillary clinton was going to win the presidency but we kind of just thought

00:02:10.320 that she would or we had this fear it wasn't even i guess that we thought that hillary clinton

00:02:14.160 would win it was donald trump could never there's there's no way there's just no way even though i

00:02:20.560 voted for trump obviously my husband my family we all voted for trump we just kind of thought

00:02:25.140 it's not going to happen there are too many people that are against him this election has uh just not

00:02:31.320 or his campaign has just not uh gone his way so far and my husband woke me up at 3 a.m and was like

00:02:36.700 trump won and i was like no freaking way no way donald j trump is the president of the united states

00:02:44.300 i could not believe it and i remember waking up the next day and thinking okay this guy wasn't perfect

00:02:52.020 he wasn't my first choice at all in the primaries didn't vote for him in the primaries but the fact

00:02:57.480 that people did not vote for hillary clinton or at least the electoral vote didn't go to hillary

00:03:01.780 clinton i felt like wow there's a lot more hope than i thought for the country because as imperfect

00:03:08.000 as donald trump may be with all of his bad habits and hang-ups and flaws he's not hillary clinton

00:03:14.160 which is why i believe in large part why he won of course there are people those of you out there who

00:03:20.500 have loved him since the very beginning loved him in the primaries and that is all good i have family

00:03:24.640 members that are like that and i you know totally understand your affinity and your original affinity

00:03:30.160 for president trump but i think for a lot of people and this is how it was for me although

00:03:35.360 i've kind of grown to like trump more i have grown to like trump more over the past few years but at

00:03:39.760 the time it was like okay i just there's no way that i can vote for this uh pro-abortion so-called

00:03:46.380 progressive or regressive candidate and corrupt candidate in hillary clinton there's just no way that 1.00

00:03:52.020 i could do it and president trump for the most part has delivered on what a lot of conservatives

00:03:58.640 hoped that he would his administration has fought for a lot of the things that we conservatives fight

00:04:05.820 for they have um they have declared some victories in the way of uh the pro-life movement in the way of

00:04:13.700 religious liberty and the way of free speech on college campuses all of these things that

00:04:18.420 conservatives care about very much even in the way of the traditional family which of course is part of

00:04:23.700 the reason why he's attacked so much by the left but it's been good it's been good he has accomplished

00:04:29.140 a lot obviously the economy is going really well unemployment has absolutely plummeted under his

00:04:35.300 presidency america is doing well except for the fact except for the fact that we cannot agree

00:04:40.880 um on the reality that we are doing well and both sides hate each other in large part uh because of

00:04:48.340 president trump although as i've talked about many times president trump was the symptom of our

00:04:54.100 divisiveness that really started under obama maybe right before obama actually was exacerbated greatly

00:05:00.280 by obama and his identity politics that he peddled so often and the victim narrative that he propagated

00:05:06.780 um and then was uh greater exacerbated by the election of donald trump i won't even say by donald trump

00:05:13.900 but the election of donald trump because he is such an anti-obama in so many ways and so we've been

00:05:19.400 divided for a long time people who say that president trump is the figure of divisiveness that he is the

00:05:25.880 reason for our tribalism just weren't paying attention before he got elected no we were far apart before we

00:05:31.860 before he got elected as i always talk about that study polarization in politics from pew research in

00:05:38.640 october of 2017 shows that the far left moved way far left while obama was president far more than they

00:05:45.420 had over the previous 20 years the right stayed about the same and that has accounted for a much of

00:05:51.940 the reason much much of the reasons why we just cannot get along as i've said many times the disagreements

00:05:58.640 that we have today between the right and the left are not more complex than they used to be necessarily

00:06:04.200 they are complex on some level but the reason why we don't get along isn't because of our complex

00:06:09.300 disagreements it's because our disagreements are far more fundamental than they ever were i mean

00:06:14.480 we're talking about basic questions of what it means to be a man what it means to be a woman

00:06:19.660 is it actually a life a human being inside the womb is america not just the greatest country in the world

00:06:26.700 which i believe it is but is it even a good country what is morality like these are all the very basic

00:06:32.320 and fundamental questions that the right and the left no longer agree on one side not all of them um

00:06:38.540 but it i i don't know if i can say in large part but a lot of people on the left have built a platform

00:06:46.360 of shaming and hating america and wanting to uh level the playing field as obama always wanted to do hence

00:06:54.600 his apology tour you've got a lot of radicals on the left that really think that america

00:07:01.480 is a bad actor in the world and then you've got the other side who believes what americans on both

00:07:06.700 sides of the aisle have believed for hundreds of years that america isn't perfect but we are uh the

00:07:12.880 most compassionate the most empathetic and the most welcoming country in the world and we have done

00:07:17.660 more good and done more to advance the cause of liberty than any other nation in the history of

00:07:22.980 the universe so we don't agree on that stuff anymore that is why we are so divided in addition to the

00:07:29.300 great question that we um always address on this podcast is god real the majority of republicans

00:07:36.040 believe that he is that's why they believe that our rights are inherent that they were endowed to us

00:07:40.900 by a creator among them being life liberty and the pursuit of happiness therefore because they are

00:07:45.840 inherent they cannot be taken away by the government they're not given to us by the government so they

00:07:50.760 can't be taken away whereas godlessness atheism agnosticism belongs mostly on the political left of course

00:07:58.640 there are exceptions to that rule on the right and the left but atheism and the disbelief in any kind

00:08:06.280 of organized religion is much more popular on the left than it is on the right that also accounts

00:08:11.280 for a grave division in this country it's not that we have political disagreements now it is cultural

00:08:18.880 it's social it's religious it's spiritual it is how we view the world that is fundamentally different

00:08:25.440 that doesn't mean that we can't get along with people on the other side it doesn't mean that we can't

00:08:30.100 reach across the aisle we should we should especially as christians we should be reaching across the aisle

00:08:34.860 and we should love our neighbor as ourselves no matter whether they have an r or a d by their name

00:08:41.100 we can come together on some things i'm just explaining the blatant nature of where we are right now

00:08:46.820 our world views on the right and the left are so fundamentally different

00:08:51.680 which is why it's so hard for us to have a conversation without especially someone on the left

00:08:57.020 but sometimes someone on the right saying hey because you believe this certain policy

00:09:01.760 you are uh not only a bad person but you don't have the right to be in public without being harassed

00:09:08.420 and so we're going to get into all of that that is where we are that's the state of our politics

00:09:13.200 our cultural landscape right now and 2020 is going to be a nasty election

00:09:19.400 it's going to be a decisive uh in history it's going to tell us which direction we're going to

00:09:26.140 go at least for the next four years uh are we going to go headlong into socialism under someone

00:09:31.680 like bernie sanders or elizabeth warren or even joe biden who will be a proponent for that the

00:09:36.960 democrats will make him be a proponent for that whether he ideologically is or not or are we going

00:09:41.640 to keep going in the way of prosperity and freedom those are the two options that we have

00:09:46.080 um let me give you some just basic updates better work is out of the race as trump said at his rally

00:09:53.500 this week or work quit like a dog that's what he loves to say like a dog he says everyone does

00:09:58.620 something like a dog if he doesn't like them i think he said uh al-baghdadi the terrorist who

00:10:03.460 was killed by the american military amazingly uh last week a couple weeks ago trump said he died like

00:10:10.100 a dog i i love that phrase now i use it all the time for anything but bitter work uh quit like a

00:10:16.580 dog dropped out of the race this is not something we necessarily saw coming i mean there are definitely

00:10:20.920 candidates still in the race who are even less likely to take the take the nomination than a work

00:10:28.620 was he had all the enthusiasm in the world on his side when he first started this of course he ran

00:10:34.980 uh in the senate race against ted cruz in texas i mean he had beyonce he had all kinds of other

00:10:41.720 celebrities come out and support for him post on instagram about him uh he had all the funds in the

00:10:48.920 world uh in support of him in his campaign and yet and yet he could not pull it off he did not succeed

00:10:56.820 um i should have known as other people did that because of that because of his failed senatorial

00:11:01.800 campaign that he uh if he couldn't win that election there's no way he could carry the national

00:11:07.640 election i thought i just not i won't say i was optimistic because obviously i never wanted him

00:11:13.640 to be the nominee but i thought that he would do better than he did i thought that he would have a

00:11:18.580 little bit more support but he is totally and completely floundered the only reason that beto got

00:11:24.780 close to beating ted cruz uh was it because he had interesting policy ideas or any kind of

00:11:30.760 any kind of policy ideas at all uh but it was really based on a couple of things people's

00:11:35.980 hatred of trump which by association included all things republican and being relatable and likable

00:11:43.000 not likable to me but likable to a lot of people appealing to the youths appealing to millennials even

00:11:48.100 some maybe generation z you'll remember he had the skateboard thing he air guitared in his car

00:11:54.940 he cussed he was super awesome and cool but he had no substantive realistic policy ideas which

00:12:01.820 unfortunately a lot of young people they don't really care about that they just want someone

00:12:05.840 they can grab a craft beer with and his lack of substantive policy ideas meant that he brought

00:12:11.240 nothing interesting to the table as a presidential candidate he tried to be the most extreme candidate

00:12:17.020 which was interesting because he pretended to be somewhat of a moderate when he was running for

00:12:21.480 uh senate but he decided that he was going to be the most extreme candidate he was going to be the

00:12:26.620 one to say what all the democrats were thinking but didn't want to articulate because they didn't want

00:12:31.960 to alienate to moderate voters that might vote for them because they don't like president trump he said

00:12:35.840 you know what to heck with that i'm just going to say all the extreme far leftist stuff that democrats

00:12:41.840 are thinking okay that's one strategy it obviously didn't work he said things like he was going to come

00:12:47.240 take our ar-15s and if we didn't actually hand over our ar-15s there was going to be punishment and

00:12:53.120 yet he kept on saying it was voluntary i think that's the definition of mandatory he had obviously

00:12:58.900 no regard for the constitution no regard specifically for the second amendment he also said uh that he was

00:13:05.460 going to his administration would punish churches that didn't condone and celebrate the lgbt agenda by

00:13:11.740 taking their tax-exempt status away so like i said his strategy of being the one to actually express

00:13:19.320 outright the left's far left radical extremist views didn't really work out he also had an ego

00:13:26.700 he said in the beginning i guess everyone who's running for president has somewhat of an ego but

00:13:32.220 he really did and it was unfounded too it's one thing to think highly of yourself if maybe you've

00:13:38.360 accomplished a lot but he just hasn't i'm not trying to be rude i'm just speaking matter of fact

00:13:43.320 he didn't have a lot of accomplishments to his name and yet he was very egotistical he said in the

00:13:48.980 beginning that he was born to run for president um he reeked of the privilege that so many on the left

00:13:55.520 say that they hate they say that the enemy is rich white males and all of their toxic masculinity and all of

00:14:03.600 their privilege well beto fit that profile really well except for the fact that he is a democrat i mean

00:14:10.240 he is from a rich family his wife is from a rich family he's never had to work for what he has uh his

00:14:18.100 dad was a corrupt el paso judge he uh beto like i said really had no achievements to his name and yet

00:14:25.220 when asked why despite having millions of dollars he only gave a minuscule amount to charity he responded

00:14:32.140 that his whole life was an act of charity and that he had been in public service since 2005 and that

00:14:38.180 should just be generous enough he has given us his time that's very very sweet politico also reports

00:14:44.840 one reason why his campaign failed is because uh the campaign was unorganized donors wouldn't get calls

00:14:51.140 back reporters weren't given the information they needed to show up at his event and you can just

00:14:56.820 imagine beto kind of being like that being the kind of spacey guy that would forget about those

00:15:03.020 details and just think that he is going to be able to connect with people no matter what the media does

00:15:09.480 no matter who reports and no matter who funds him he's just going to be able to do this supernaturally

00:15:14.760 because he was born for this you can kind of see beto thinking that and look i i'm a hypocrite if i

00:15:20.300 accuse him or if i criticize him for being unorganized i couldn't do it but there's a reason why i'm not

00:15:26.000 running for president and he is i would think that if you can't run a campaign and or at least you

00:15:31.280 can't delegate responsibilities to people who can run a campaign well and organize people and respond

00:15:36.480 to phone calls then you're probably not cut out to be commander-in-chief that's just my guess so

00:15:42.380 he's out bye bye beto it was nice to know you we might never hear this name again of robert francis

00:15:49.260 or work and i think most of us would probably be okay with that i wish him i wish him the best i don't

00:15:53.620 wish any ill will towards him i don't want anything bad for his life i hope he and his family have a

00:16:00.020 wonderful life doing whatever they want to do that's great um goodbye thank you for your contribution

00:16:06.180 uh last national polling has biden at 32 this is according to 538 blog 32 sanders at 20 warren at

00:16:16.200 20 percent buddha judge at seven percent harris at five percent you know what the funny thing is about

00:16:20.780 that so we've got obviously biden sanders warren far above buddha judge and harris who are at number

00:16:25.940 four and five um and yet buddha judge has said he said in a recent interview that he sees this

00:16:32.960 shaping up to be a two-person race between him and elizabeth warren now i'm gonna be perfectly honest

00:16:38.820 i could see that i could see that i could see people reassessing buddha judge i mean he's not doing

00:16:45.200 that great among certain demographics like the african-american community but i could see people

00:16:50.860 saying okay warren sanders they're a little bit too extreme joe biden a little bit too senile

00:16:58.360 doesn't have it together maybe we should look at kamala or maybe we should look at buddha judge well

00:17:04.360 kamala she has this bad reputation of being a cop of being this hardline prosecutor and so you've got a 1.00

00:17:10.040 lot of people on the left that don't like her buddha judge has his own problems a lot of people think

00:17:14.560 that he doesn't handle the city that he is a mayor of very well that he also has this whole white 0.92

00:17:20.160 privilege label that the left cares about so much that he's not intersectional enough even as a gay 0.85

00:17:25.760 man he's got that problem he's got that problem too and he is also extremely condescending towards

00:17:31.560 christians which i think just comes part and parcel with being a democrat nowadays but anyway they all

00:17:37.400 have their issues i could see though i could see buddha judge possibly being right like we can all laugh

00:17:43.240 at that kamala harris laughed at that and said you know we have a long way to go before this becomes a

00:17:47.440 two-person race between warren and buddha judge and that's right like he is arrogant and kind of silly

00:17:51.420 for saying that but i could see it going that direction i could see people starting to like

00:17:58.760 buddha judge more than they like harris who is also i guess what we would consider a second tier

00:18:05.240 candidate i don't know number five uh among these top five candidates but i i could see that i could

00:18:12.480 see it going that direction but we do have a long way to go and i find it continually amazing that

00:18:18.500 biden is where he is despite so many gaffes despite such a poor performance compared to the other people

00:18:26.820 on the stage at debates a poor performance i mean the man cannot he can't even last the entire two

00:18:34.380 minutes or 30 seconds however long they have to answer questions before he says he kind of runs

00:18:39.700 his sentence off and says okay well never mind i'm going to concede my time i mean that is not going

00:18:44.980 to be a good strategy if you're going against donald trump on the debate stage so it's amazing to me that

00:18:49.760 he is still so far ahead uh the new york times analyzed how trump fares against the top three candidates

00:18:55.520 biden sanders warren uh in the battleground states of michigan pennsylvania wisconsin florida arizona and

00:19:01.540 here's what the new york times says in an article published on monday despite low national approval

00:19:07.160 ratings in the specter of impeachment president trump remains highly competitive in the battleground

00:19:11.920 states likeliest to decide his re-election according to a set of new surveys from the new york times

00:19:17.500 upshot and sienna college so against biden this poll has trump even with him in michigan losing in

00:19:24.320 pennsylvania losing in wisconsin florida and arizona and winning in north carolina against bernie sanders

00:19:30.960 it is split between six states these six battleground states polls show trump losing in michigan and

00:19:36.920 pennsylvania wisconsin to bernie sanders but winning in florida arizona and north carolina against warren

00:19:42.600 this poll uh says that trump is winning or or even in five of these states and losing in only one of

00:19:48.780 these states which is arizona so right now as we've said biden is still democrats best bet at beating

00:19:55.200 trump according to the polls the good news is for us i believe that biden is a weak candidate he's

00:20:02.260 just a weak candidate there's no way around that i don't think anyone on the right or the left would

00:20:06.420 say biden is a strong candidate he will be weak in debates as we have already noted he will crumble

00:20:13.420 under the trolling of trump because he's at a point now where he just can't take the heat he

00:20:18.900 tweeted what i think he thought was like super clever and powerful so the other day it was it

00:20:25.740 marked exactly a year until the 2020 until 2020 election day and he said a year from now i will

00:20:33.140 have a nickname for donald trump not the president of the united states or not president trump but i'm

00:20:38.960 like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa joe save save some fire for the debates buddy that's that's a little

00:20:45.520 that's a little intense so poor guy he's really trying to play the game he's really trying to get

00:20:51.640 on trump's level i just don't think he's going to get there he doesn't have the energy he doesn't have

00:20:56.120 the stamina that trump does and trump i trump is old too okay i think we all know that trump

00:21:01.780 biden sanders uh they're all old but trump doesn't act old he just doesn't he doesn't talk old he acts

00:21:10.140 like he has all the energy in the world and i think that's appealing to a lot of people when you're

00:21:13.800 talking about the guy who is going to be running the country and who is going to be commander in

00:21:18.520 chief maybe 10 20 years ago joe would have put up an interesting fight and this would have been an

00:21:23.340 interesting election but he just doesn't have the same grit that trump does here is my analysis about

00:21:30.520 this in the general election not a single person not a single person not a single american will vote

00:21:38.220 for joe biden yes you heard me not a single american will vote for joe biden the people

00:21:45.540 will be voting if they do they will be voting against donald trump there will be people who

00:21:53.140 vote against donald trump it will not be if they cast a vote for joe biden it will not be for joe biden

00:21:59.440 it will be against donald trump if biden wins the presidency it will not be because anyone liked him

00:22:05.440 thought he was a strong candidate or thinks that he will be a good president of the united states

00:22:09.760 maybe like three people will actually think that but the vast majority of people that vote for him

00:22:14.600 will vote for him because they hate donald trump and because they think that biden will be at least

00:22:20.020 a vessel for leftist policies he will at least be their useful idiot it's kind of how a lot of

00:22:25.800 conservatives think of donald trump they might not like him personally they might not even agree with

00:22:30.620 him ideologically but they know that he is going to choose people in his administration that are going

00:22:36.680 to carry out the values the things the policies that we like that's who joe biden is for the left

00:22:42.280 and will be if he wins the democratic establishment know in my opinion that people like sanders that people

00:22:48.760 like warren are too radical right now to win maybe not in 10 years unfortunately but right now they're

00:22:54.720 too radical to win i think sanders has a better chance than warren of beating donald trump because

00:22:59.940 honestly warren has the whole pocahontas thing i know we think um you know that's some small thing

00:23:05.760 or maybe something in the past it's really not like every time i think about that as much as she tries

00:23:10.500 to brush it off it's really embarrassing like that's a really really embarrassing story and that's going

00:23:17.940 to follow her i honestly think that could be the one story that and the fact that of what we're going

00:23:22.900 to talk about in a minute her medicare for all plan which is just disastrous and deceptive

00:23:27.300 um that would lose her the presidency i think sanders because he's at least honest even though

00:23:32.860 he's kooky would have a better chance against donald trump but i don't think it's going to be

00:23:37.320 either of them it probably will be joe biden um warren and sanders just can't right now appeal to

00:23:44.700 most of rational america both of them are going to or they're planning to raise taxes on the middle

00:23:51.360 classes both want to take away your private health insurance and force you into medicare for all

00:23:56.240 which eliminates your choice it dries down the quality of your care and it decimates hospitals

00:24:01.900 i did an episode about this over the summer just titled health care where i explain medicare for all

00:24:09.160 and what it is and why people like it but also why it is not good uh bernie sanders is at least honest

00:24:17.400 about having to hike taxes to pay for this on the middle class elizabeth warren is straight up 1.00

00:24:23.220 lying about it she's just lying about it uh warren rolled out her medicare for all plan this week

00:24:27.900 saying that it's going to cost 52 trillion dollars over the next 10 years and that it's all going to

00:24:33.860 be paid for she says all 52 trillion dollars going to be paid for by uh corporations and billionaires

00:24:41.300 there are a few uh different things within there but she says that the middle class is not going to

00:24:47.240 pay for it at all middle class is not going to pay for it here's what she told her reporter this week

00:24:51.380 senator when you say you want to raise no plus taxes what is the income bracket that you used

00:24:56.580 to find uh here it's 100 it doesn't raise taxes on anybody but billionaires and you know what the

00:25:03.320 billionaires can afford it and i don't call them middle class so billionaire that's where it worked

00:25:07.480 anyone under a billion dollars that worked that's right he's not paying a penny more that's exactly

00:25:11.980 right nope she said she said nope nope just billionaires just billionaires did you did you see her

00:25:18.840 getting a little bit louder and louder every time she said nope nope nope just billionaires the

00:25:23.360 reporter's like uh but uh uh nope nope liz said it's just billionaires stop asking me uh but there's

00:25:30.700 also a nine trillion dollar payroll tax on employers in her plan that would hit employees as their 0.69

00:25:36.200 employers lowered their wages to make up for a higher cost and so that also is a hit to the middle

00:25:41.760 class it also includes raising capital gains taxes on the one percent well the one percent is not

00:25:46.560 billionaires like that's something that socialists throw around to make you think of just like the

00:25:51.340 howard schultz's of the world the bill gates's of the world that's not who the one percent is according

00:25:56.080 to the irs in 2017 the top one percent included everyone who had an income of above about five

00:26:02.760 hundred fifteen thousand dollars a year so we're not even talking millionaires we're not even really

00:26:07.720 talking close to millionaires we're talking about half millionaires so that includes senator warren

00:26:12.460 and bernie sanders by the way and actually probably all the democratic candidates probably i would guess

00:26:17.840 all the democratic candidates make at least along with their spouses but maybe individually too they 0.79

00:26:24.700 make probably about a half million dollars a year not from being a congressperson or not from being an

00:26:29.060 elected official but just in general the different things that they do many of them are actually

00:26:34.140 millionaires like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren but you know they say it's not millionaires that are

00:26:39.340 the problem they used to say that until bernie sanders became a millionaire no it's just it's

00:26:43.180 billionaires that are the problem i'm not the person who has 999 million dollars not that person

00:26:49.600 but the person who has just a little bit more than that a billion dollars that's the evil person that's

00:26:54.960 the threshold of evil that bernie sanders and elizabeth warren say that you have to cross before

00:26:59.520 we are just going to completely take all of your wealth away uh not the humble lowly millionaires

00:27:05.020 like bernie sanders and joe biden and elizabeth warren no they're one of us they're just the working

00:27:08.840 people there's you know blue collar americans from the heartland um the bipartisan committee

00:27:14.540 for responsible federal budget says that warren's plan is mathematically impossible the wall street

00:27:19.580 journal is challenging her her calculations uh biden is challenging her insisting her plan

00:27:24.620 would mean higher taxes for the middle class he and other candidates like buddha judge don't support

00:27:29.660 medicare for all they support health care for all which means if you have private insurance that

00:27:34.660 you like you get to keep your private insurance that you like but if you want medicare need

00:27:38.800 medicare you have the option and so you have a public option that of course is paid for by

00:27:43.540 taxpayers that's not the conservative option that's not the conservative plan by the way but it's

00:27:47.940 better in a lot of ways than medicare for all they rightly say hey we're not going to kick

00:27:53.760 millions of americans off their private insurance that they like but elizabeth warren and bernie 0.97

00:27:59.040 sanders because they are socialist and they want complete control they want to make sure that you

00:28:03.420 don't get the health care coverage that you want they want to make sure that everyone has the same

00:28:07.500 mediocre care and that health is rationed um but you know why elizabeth warren is doing this blatantly 1.00

00:28:13.840 lying she knows she can get away with it she knows she can get away with it yes there are going to be

00:28:19.280 some journalists who call her out like i've said the new york times also has but for the most part the

00:28:24.340 media is going to have her back they're going to pick up her slack they're going to spend most of 1.00

00:28:28.320 their time attacking trump and because they believe it is their moral duty most of the media

00:28:33.220 believes it is their moral duty to defeat trump in 2020 uh they don't want to weaken a democratic

00:28:40.420 front runner by claiming that she's lying so they're not going to do it for the greater good for the end

00:28:45.020 cause that's something that we are going to see incessantly throughout the next election cycle

00:28:49.360 covering up deceit from the left and exaggerating or fabricating dirt on the right in an effort to

00:28:54.860 defeat trump and they will justify their lying or their manipulation by saying that the cause

00:29:00.140 of defeating trump is more important than being honest or fair that's truly how they will morally

00:29:06.340 justify in their minds democrats are also still trying to impeach donald trump because despite

00:29:12.100 having no solid reason to do so that is just where we are of course they would rather run against someone

00:29:18.760 like mike pence or run against not donald trump um in 2020 than run against donald trump because even

00:29:25.120 though they don't understand it they realize that he has an appeal and that a lot of americans like him

00:29:29.800 and i think they also realize they don't have any good candidates running they don't have any good

00:29:33.720 candidates running at all there are polls showing the democratic democratic voters wish that they had

00:29:38.700 another option but they just don't people literally go crazy for or in their hatred of donald trump last

00:29:46.360 week at a world series game you probably saw this president trump was booed at the national stadium it was

00:29:51.180 terrible i mean i would never do that i did not like barack obama i don't like policy wise i don't

00:29:58.240 i don't like barack obama i don't agree with him i don't align with him on anything i think that we are

00:30:01.960 far worse off as a country after barack obama's presidency than we were before and yet and yet if he

00:30:09.040 stood up at you know uh some sporting event that i was at i would not do him i mean that's just tacky

00:30:15.940 but this is what happens when the media characterizes donald trump as some evil wicked

00:30:22.920 white nationalist nazi people think okay well it's justifiable to boo a nazi so they don't feel

00:30:30.300 badly about it they don't feel like it's a form of disrespect but it's not true and look i obviously

00:30:34.740 know president trump isn't perfect and i understand why someone on the left wouldn't support him he

00:30:39.780 doesn't stand for any of the things that you stand for like disagree with him as passionately as you want

00:30:44.360 to don't like the guy i just think we're in a sad place when something like a world series game

00:30:50.160 and there's nothing more american than baseball where we can't even just pay respect to the

00:30:54.600 president of the united states just don't say anything but everyone booing him i mean it's just

00:30:58.900 it's too much uh the nationals came to the way and by the way i think that i would say that

00:31:04.600 if people were doing that to president obama i truly would i truly would um the nationals game

00:31:10.480 or the nationals came to the the white house after they won the world series a catcher by the

00:31:15.940 name of kurt suzuki stood at the podium he donned his maga hat and trump it was i don't know how else

00:31:21.580 to describe this except for it was cute it was just cute trump was so excited to see him do this he

00:31:26.880 did he obviously didn't expect it trump hugged him here's a video of that come here say a couple words

00:31:33.020 come on i mean that is just wholesome it's just wholesome it's just sweet i just saw that and it

00:31:47.680 warmed my heart it was just cute i don't know how else to say it was just cute and trump was genuinely

00:31:53.380 happy and it was sweet uh trump genuinely was grateful for that i think because of recently i mean

00:32:02.860 obviously he likes to be liked everyone likes to be liked but also he was recently booed and so it

00:32:08.540 probably felt good um i i don't always or i haven't always felt badly for the president because a lot

00:32:17.860 of the criticism that he gets some of it he uh cultivates himself or he attracts purposely you know

00:32:26.360 sometimes he's a lightning rod for controversy and he tries to stir up things on twitter but i

00:32:33.440 think that it has to be so emotionally and mentally taxing to constantly be bombarded with not just

00:32:41.380 hate but unfair hate and not just criticism but unfair criticism and it just it's got to be

00:32:47.340 demoralizing and he does soldier on his administration keeps fighting for things that we believe in and i

00:32:52.500 appreciate that and it was just nice to see one moment of public uh public appreciation for the

00:32:59.960 president by a public figure and for him to be grateful for that and it was just sweet but of

00:33:04.460 course the left lost their ever-loving minds over this on twitter here's some tweets from people who

00:33:10.500 truly some of them truly became unhinged these are all blue check marks by the way these aren't just

00:33:15.760 random people these are people with a following and some kind of status that makes them verified on twitter

00:33:20.620 um i you watch a hot ali i'm sorry i don't know how to pronounce his name says they will never love

00:33:27.900 you kurt suzuki they will never love you enjoy the hug and delusion whatever makes you feel great

00:33:33.500 i don't even know what that i don't even know what that means because he is japanese what does that mean

00:33:38.800 because trump hates japanese people conservatives hate japanese people okay i i don't understand that

00:33:46.560 they will they will never love you well all right uh jackie pepper says can i retroactively withdraw

00:33:52.660 my support for the gnats during the world series because one of the players appreciates the president

00:33:57.740 of the united states okay if you want to be that miserable you can norman ornstein says very sad i love

00:34:04.560 kurt suzuki as a player but he wore a maga hat to the white house so i will not cheer him this praise

00:34:11.760 for trump is hard to take oh soledad o'brien says pathetic guys like i said it's okay not to like him 0.56

00:34:21.780 that's fine but this is the president of the united states you know at least half the country likes him

00:34:26.860 and supports him so did you just assume you who are so shocked and appalled by this did you just assume

00:34:33.540 that no athlete was included in the half of the country that supports donald trump

00:34:39.620 and that if they did support donald trump that they just kind of should do it in secret in the

00:34:45.180 shadows they should never talk about it i mean you're treating him like he's some social pariah

00:34:50.320 that we're talking about the president of the united states we're not talking about some like

00:34:53.840 fringe far-right figure it's okay for them to support him it's fine and i know a lot of people

00:34:59.900 are saying that it's hypocritical for conservatives to criticize people like lebron james for being outspoken

00:35:06.420 against the president but supportive of suzuki and yes it is hypocritical if the reason why you

00:35:13.260 are criticizing lebron james is because he's an athlete and you think that athletes shouldn't have

00:35:19.100 a right to say anything and then you support suzuki doing that yes that's hypocritical but that was

00:35:24.040 never the reason why i criticize lebron james or colin kaepernick the reason why i criticize them

00:35:30.900 is because they're wrong not because they're athletes but because they're wrong and so i can

00:35:36.800 criticize them but support suzuki without being a hypocrite because my reason isn't that athletes

00:35:44.400 don't have a right to express their political views they do so i wanted to talk about some other

00:35:49.260 some other news stories as well i wanted to talk about the homelessness epidemic and some of the stuff

00:35:53.620 that's happening there there are some updates there legislatively for texas but i don't think i have

00:35:58.800 time to go into that but we will in the future um i'll be back here on friday i hope that was a

00:36:03.720 an okay update for you if you've got questions please let me know if you've got feedback let me know

00:36:07.700 if you love this podcast please share it with your friends that means a lot to me um if it's been

00:36:13.100 helpful to you for those of you who are new i have a ton of old evergreen episodes that aren't just

00:36:20.540 about news that will help you understand i won't say they'll help you shape your worldview because maybe

00:36:25.420 you don't agree with me but they'll help you understand the conservative christian worldview

00:36:29.100 over the summer i did a lot of evergreen episodes on theology theologies were the theology episodes

00:36:36.200 were every monday the political episodes were every wednesday and so wednesday i would wednesdays i would

00:36:42.000 talk about things like health care i would talk about things like the constitution what conservatives

00:36:46.260 believe about it what liberals believe about it i would talk about universal basic income socialism

00:36:52.160 all of these things so if you just want to fundamental a basic understanding of these subjects

00:36:56.880 which i think is important as we go into 2020 go back to some of my previous episodes if you're

00:37:02.660 looking for theological episodes what i believed is a reformed protestant then you can go back and

00:37:07.540 listen to to some of those about the five solas for example i know a lot of you out there my

00:37:13.160 beloved catholic friends don't agree with me on that that's okay we can understand where the other

00:37:18.240 one is is coming from without feeling like we are trying to polarize one another or attack one

00:37:23.940 another we land differently on these issues and we also have a lot in common especially politically so

00:37:29.860 no matter what you believe i do appreciate you being here and listening to this podcast there are a lot of

00:37:37.740 you out there who don't align with my views at all and i really appreciate you i'm taking the time to

00:37:43.760 kind of expand your point of view with me three times a week it's awesome of you to do that it says a lot

00:37:50.020 about who you are uh okay that's all i have to say like i said i'll be back here on friday and that's it

00:37:58.380 have a good day

00:38:13.760 you
