Episode 128 Show Notes – What a Great Week!

On Monday, Iowa held their caucuses and it turned out to be a disaster. Trump holds the State of the Union and some Democrats are having a temper tantrum. President Trump gets acquitted in the  Senate, ending this impeachment sham. At least until the next impeachment.

 

DNC Blows It!

Iowa held its first caucus in Iowa. It didn’t go well.

The process is really weird and it got very confusing.

Communications and the use of a new phone app (that didn’t work) made it impossible to get their votes in or be counted.

Listen to this as a caucus captain in on CNN with Wold Blitzer is waiting on hold for over an hour gets hung up on because he did not answer fast enough.

I love it. In fact, CNN was melting down at the fact they had 62 people on their panel and absolutely no information to report. In fact, it’s been 24 hours and we still only have 62% of the vote.

This is really bad.

The returns relevant to delegate count show Buttigieg with 26.9 percent and Sanders with 25.1 percent. Warren trailed with 18.3 percent and Biden was hovering in fourth with 15.6 percent, just ahead of Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Now, this is bad for the candidates, especially for Buttigieg and Bernie. One of the reasons they want to win the first caucus is so they can make a huge victory speech that will give them momentem as they go to New Hampshire. No one really got to make this speech. Or did they?

This is where the idiocy of the Democrats comes into play.

They all declared victory.

Amy Klobachar started it by jumping up and claiming a great win (There were no results).

Mayor Pete jumped in and said he actually won the caucus. This was bad for two reasons: There were no results (so Twitter thought he cheated) and he had to find some black people to be behind him during his victory speech. And he did. And it got out.

Bernie was Bernie. He didn’t claim victory but said he thought he did fine. There’s your Democratic nominee.

Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren both had speeches at the same time. That ended up being a split screen on CNN. Warren exclaimed they did great and were ready for the next caucus. Biden said they did fine and fell asleep. He’s all but done.

But, the big take away, is that we can’t trust these people. The DNC screwed this up for a bunch of candidates who want to take control of all aspects of our lives. That can’t run a caucus without screwing it up.

Also, Dems are in trouble. Turn out was very low. People just not interested. Why? Because their candidates suck.

State of the Union Speech

I hate the State of the Union because…well…it’s boring. But I watched it anyway. Trump did some good things. And there were things he could have done differently. But, I tell you, Trump is an awesome reality television show guy. It actually made the speech entertaining.

The first thing Trump did in his speech is tout his accomplishments. And there were plenty of them:

  • The economy.
  • The jobless rate for all races and genders.
  • The rate of those on food stamps and welfare.
  • The tax cuts.
  • Overall income increases.
  • Suicide and drug related deaths are down.
  • Illegal immigration is down.
  • The killing of three terrorists.
  • Criminal reform.
  • The USMCA and the China Trade Agreement.
  • Respect from other countries like Iran and North Korea.

 

He also pushed for more things he wanted to accomplish:

  • Space force.
  • School choice.
  • No hidden healthcare fees.
  • Drug education.
  • The need to end illegal immigration and building of the wall.
  • Calls for more cancer research and vowed to end AIDS by the end of the decade.
  • Develop extending Family Leave bill.
  • Extend funding for child care so less children have to be on waiting lists.

 

His guests and surprises:

  • Rush Limbaugh, who he awarded the Medal of Freedom.
  • President Guido of Venezuela.
  • One of the remaining Tuskegee Airmen who he promoted to General.
  • He reunited a a soldier with his family.
  • He announced a scholarship to a charter school for a little girl,

Things I wish he had done but don’t blame him for:

  • He uses”me,” “my,” and “I” a lot. He seems self-aggrandized.
  • This  was not a real come-together speech. I thought he would reach out to the Democrats a bit more.
  • He could have spread the accomplishments a bit more. Not all the laws were just by him (though they were his ideas).
  • She should have shook Nancy Pelosi’s hand though this might have been an accident. He didn’t shake Mike Pence’s hand either.

 

He never mentioned impeachment, but one could tell he was ticked.

The Democrats acted like…well…Democrats.

  • A bunch of people did not show up including AOC. It was pretty smart that she didn’t go.
  • The Democrats looked bad.
  • The Democrats did not applause for anything including: Unemployment being at record lows for all races, circumstances and ages, incomes going up, dead terrorists, a strong military, the the Tesegee airman or his belief that the country is exceptional and great even though we have made mistakes.
  • A bunch of Democrats walked out of the speech.
  • Tliab and Omar were on their phone Tweeting during the speech.
  • Sometime, in the middle of the speech, some stood up raised their arms and started chanting something. I have no idea what they said.

 

But Nancy Pelosi was the worst.

  • Yes, Trump did not shake her hand. He also did not shake Mike Pence’s hand and seemed to be turning away when she stuck her hand out. Even if he did, who cares.
  • She never stood up, even for things she should have like the Tesegee Airman. She seemed to figure out what was happening later and started standing.
  • She was making faces the whole time. Maybe she was angry, maybe her dentures were bothering her, who knows.
  • She seemed to keep communicating with someone on her side of the aisle. It was very disrespectful.
  • At the end of the speech, obviously very angry, she tore up her copy of the speech. Stood up tall, grabbed some of the speech and tore it up. She then took the pieces and laid them by the gavel so Trump could see it if he turned around.

 

This is the Democratic party: small, petty, mean, disrespectful and incompetent.

All this time they have been talking about how Donald Trump was all these things. Well, the mask is off. Not only did Donald Trump give a powerful speech, the Democrats made him look better by their behavior.

Now, if Trump could just shut up.

 

Sad News

Rush Limbaugh, father of Conservative radio and podcasts, made the following announcement on his radio show:

I never got into Rush though I listened to him when I was younger because my dad loved him.

During the State of the Union address, the President awarded him the Medal of Freedom. It was given to him by Ivanka Trump because he was in the First Lady’s box. He was touched.

We’ll pray for youRush. God bless.
