Episode 240 – The Last Debate

 

 

We Have a new Supreme Court Justice

Amy Coney Barrett is now Justice Barrett as she was confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice by the Senate by a tally of 52 to 48. Strictly on party lines. Now the Supreme Court has a 6-3 Conservative makeup.

Of course, the Democrats are flipping out:

  • Chuck Schumer said the Republicans will rue the day.
  • AOC Tweeted, “Pack the Court.”
  • Maise Hirono said, during the vote, loud enough to be heard, “Hell no!”

 

The Last Debate

Last night was the last debate and Trump needed to make an impact. He did. He won.

Trump

  • He was patient. He let Joe talk. He took notes and responded.
  • The longest portion of the debate was about COVID. He was positive. Biden was negative.
  • Trump jumped of every lie that Biden threw out. Every inconsisancy.
  • Trump had zingers.
  • Trump brought up Hunter, gracefully….sort of. He made a mistake on some things. In fact he did this all night. He brought into the debate what he wanted to convey.
  • Trump brought up the economy. Trump brought up foreign policy. The things that no one talks about.

 

Biden

  • Biden was weak. He look old and tired.
  • Though he did not have any serious gaffs, he did stumble and ramble. Trump let him.
  • Biden’s body language is really bad. When He doesn’t know what to say or got caught, he looks down, looks up or looks at his watch. Many debate observers pointed out that he looked at his watch near then end of the debate. It was really weird.
  • He said “come on” nine times. Listen to this clip from Grabien.

 

  • When Biden says, “come on” he doesn’t have an answer. I do want to point out the Hitler comment. We were never friends with Hitler. That leads us to the next point.
  • Biden lies. Like crazy. Every topic, there was a lie.
  • He said things that are going to be used in future political adds. We are going to talk about that in a few minutes.

 

Kristen Welker

There was a lot of talk about Kristen Welker being the moderator. She’s a Leftist, She has pre-loaded questions before interviews. Her questions were questions that were leading to Biden and aggressive to Trump.

But I thought she did a good job. She was making some cover for Biden. She did cut off Trump a lot especially when he started hitting Biden. I also didn’t like the questions she came up with. They were the same as the last debate. COVID, the environment, etc.

There were topics that were never brought up. Once again, Biden was not asked to condemn Antifa. Welker never brought up Hunter and the possible corruption. Trump had to bring it up. The economy was not a big subject. Trump had to bring it up. Foreign policy, by far Trump’s strongest efforts, was mentioned for a while. I didn’t hear anything about that historic peace deal between Israel, Bahrain and and the UAE were never brought up. That’s trgic.

But she was far better than Chris Wallace.

 

The Issues

There were a bunch of exchanges between Trump and Biden that really showed the difference between the two. These exchanges were all very calm. Trump did not interrupt, did not talk over Biden. In fact, it sounded like the moderator did most of the interrupting.

The first topic was, of course, COVID-19. Because we just haven’t talked about the virus enough and it is one of the things democrats can beat Trump on. They really have nothing else. Listen:

Trump is exactly correct here. We keep hearing about the number of cases going up. We are spiking again. This is not a surprise because we are beginning to open the country. He is also correct when he says that people are suffering because they are stuck at home.

There were some things that Trump should have brought up or, at least, hammered it a little more.

  • Though we are spiking in this country, our death rates are way down. In fact, we are now 20th in the world when it comes to death rates. We have therapeutics and are close to a vaccine. We have learned a lot about this virus.
  • The states with the heaviest death rates are in blue states: New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Washington DC, Illinois.
  • Every time Biden says Trump isn’t fixing the problem, he needs to point out that Biden’s plan is the same plan as Trump’s plan. And it would have been implemented later than Trump’s actions.
  • By the way, is it Trump’s fault with the spiking in Italy, Germany, Spain, England or Brazil? The death rates, in those countries, are far higher than in the United States. No one knew how to deal with this thing. But Trump did a pretty damn good job.

 

Now let’s talk about corruption. Listen:

There were some awesome points here:

  • It seems that everyone has forgotten about Russia, Ukraine and the impeachment, which happened in January of this year.
  • Everyone is ignoring the Russian disinformation from the Steele dossier.
  • Everyone is forgetting, or ignoring, that the Obama administration spied on the incoming Trump administration. This is real. And Biden had a hand on it through his unmasking of Michael Flynn.
  • He pointed out that Biden was corrupt and made a lot of money on it. Biden is worth $9 million and owns two homes. Hmm….
  • I thought this was clever. Trump hit the tax returns thing.
  • Finally, you notice that the moderator started interrupting Trump. She did that all night.

 

  • Trump really showed the stark contrast between him and Biden. Listen:

 

Fact check: true. I hate when politicians do this. They reach deep inside of themselves and reach for the emotions of the viewers. And Trump is right. He was talking about China and Hunter Biden when Old Joe went on his tangent. This was a perfect response from Trump.

In this clip, Biden talks about all the things he wants to do and Trump slaps him down again. Listen:

Absolutely correct. Joe Biden was a senator for 39 years and Vice President for eight years. The only thing he has ever done was his 1994 crime bill. This was not a terrible bill. It did lower crime. But, because most of the people thrown in jail over it were people of color, Joe needs to admit it was a mistake. And this is where Trump smashes him. First off, he points out he has done nothing while he was in office. Then, he points out that the only accomplishment Joe has had was a huge mistake. Then Trump points out that he always talks about what he is going to do but Joe has had the chance to fix things, but never did.

The all talk and no action comment was the crescendo to Trump’s little symphony.

This last comment by old Joe may have cost him the election. Listen:

What a disaster for Biden:

  • He finally admitted he wants to end fracking and oil, probably coal too.
  • He wants to end subsidies? Ben Shapiro had a great reason there are subsidies for the oil industry. The oil industry gets subsidies so they can provide energy to the poor who might not be able to afford it.
  • Joe’s comments were so damaging that the moderator jumped in and tried to get him to walk it back by asking, “Why would you do that?” She tried to save Biden further by interrupting Trump, trying to move on to the next question and giving Biden the last word for ten seconds. But Trump got the shots in and they were heavy.

 

Trump showed restraint, he let Biden talk and the moderator, though biased, was pretty fair. Trump destroyed Biden in this debate. But is it going to have any effect on the election? Probably not much. A lot of people have already voted. The polls are showing that Trump did gain ground. Right now, the polls show that things are exactly like they were in 2016. I do believe that there is a secret Trump crowd out there that lie to pollsters or just don’t get interviewed. I also don’t like polls in the last few weeks before an election either because they tend to be inaccurate because of bias.

I think Trump is in good position.

Dumb Issue of the Night

Listen to this and think about what the problem is that would have Twitter exploding:

Now, there was nothing in that exchange that was bizarre. Trump has always believed in strong border security. And one of the reason is because of the victimization of those who cross.

There are about 536 children that cannot be reunited with their parents. There are two reasons why they can’t be reunited with their parents: Their parents cannot be found or their parents don’t want them back.

It was the term “cayote” that Trump used. Listen to what the idiots were Tweeting:

Karlous Tweeted:

“Since when did coyotes start bringing kids over here?”

Frasier actress, Peri Gilpin Tweeted:

“The children are brought here by coyotes?”

Newsperson, Nicole Schuman

“What does ‘children are brought here by coyotes’ mean?!”

“I thought i was tripping when i heard that,” tweeted Tennessee Titans fullback Khari Blasingame in response to a tweet that said, “‘Children are bought here by coyotes’ -WTF DONALD TRUMP.”

Actor and producer Sendhil Ramamurthy:

“Hot damncoyotes are so much smarter and capable than I ever gave them credit for. I apologize for underestimating you.”

Georgia state Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick wrote:

“Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through “cartels and coyotes“?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking.”

That last one works as a state representative. Jeez, no wonder government sucks.

A cayote is a person, usually involved in a criminal enterprise in Mexico, who leads people over the border. Cayotes get paid by each person who is trying to cross. They are bad people. But they are not half dog, half wolf that walk on four legs. Children are not riding cayotes over the border.

So dumb.
