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