Podcast #70 Shownotes

A whistle blower files a report against Donald Trump about a conversation he had with the President of Ukraine. This could be the death knell for the Biden campaign (hint: things ain’t going well for Biden in Iowa). And the democrats finally pull the trigger (sort of).

 

Trump and Ukraine

This story broke last week but we didn’t know much about it. Guess what? We still don’t know much about it. The story involves a whistle blower complaint that Donald Trump was speaking to the newly elected President of Ukraine. We’re still guessing as to what may have happened but there are two things that could have happened: Trump divulged classified data to a foriegn leader or Trump made a quid pro quo (you know, you scratch my back and I’ll scratech yours) offer to the President.

Of course, President Trump vehemently denies the allegation. He says that it was only a congratulatory call to the Ukrainian president for winning his election. He said there are transcripts, witnesses and recordings and he is looking into releasing them along with the actual complaint. Trump dismisses it as another attempt at his enemies trying to drum up a new narrative. Trump did admit to talking about Biden because of the scandal that is going to dog Biden from here on out. But that doesn’t matter. Dems are now screaming for impeachment…again.

Trump is going on the offensive. He has decided to attack Joe Biden about his own little indiscretions with Ukraine.

This one could be big. It might be the final blow to knock Biden out of the race. But let’s finish this story first.

This is really a non-story. Trump is President of the United States. He’s going to talk to other leaders. He has to talk to other leaders. He’s constatntly with people and being monitored. His calls are recorded. Trump may not be smart but he’s not stupid. He’s not going to say anything that’s going to get him into trouble especially since it is one investiggation after another.

But here’s the other thing: the vitriol of the left is just so expected. No one know what’s in this complaint (an anonymous complaint at that). And then we find out tonight that the guy who issues the complaints wasn’t even present during the conversation. Trump says he’ll release whatever he has to but he shouldn’t. His conversations with other leaders should be private and he should not cowtow to the complaints from a groups of people that are always going to complain.

The democrats want to impeach, go for it.

 

Biden’s Problems Might Be A Bigger Issue

I knew this was going to come out. I heard about it from Dan Bongino about a year ago. Listen to his podcast and read his books, they are extremely informative. His books Spygate and his latest, Exonerated are so packed with information about this Trump conspiracy mess that it might take a couple of readings to understand.

This story has been around for a long time. Back in 2014, Hunter Biden got put on the board of a gas company called Burisma. He was earning $50,000 a month. He had no experience with energy much less gas. An attorney there started investigating Burisma for corruption.  Joe Biden, who was dealing with a loan of $1.4 billion to Ukraine, said he would not release the money unless this attorney doing the investigating was fired. Ukraine fired the attorney.

Now, this is kind of open news. This wasn’t something covered up. If fact, here’s Biden at a press conference bragging about having the attorney fired:

 

Is this a sign of a quid pro quo deal between Biden and Ukraine? Who knows? The attorney in Ukraine was known for corruption and many believed he should have been fired. Maybe Biden wanted a corrupt politician fired, not for a conflict of interest, but because he didn’t want to drop $1.4 billion on a corrupt country. It’s possible.

Where there needs to be an investigation is to find out where the smoke is coming from. This wasn’t the first time Hunter, who could never hold a job and was kicked out of the Navy because of drugs, got some high level position. He also got a high paying “job” in China. Coincidentally, Joe Sleepy, Creepy Joe was also  working with the Chinese at the same time. It’s definitely very suspicious.

 

What Do I Think?

Trump shoots his mouth up. He ain’t the most professional speaker. I bet a dollar he also shot his mouth talking to the newly elected President of Ukraine. Was it a quid pro quo: a Biden investigation for $400 million dollars? I doubt it. Why? a few reasons. The anonymous whistleblower wasn’t even in the room when the conversation took place. Sounds like swamp politics to me. Trump is willing to release the transcripts of the conversation with the President of the Ukraine. He’s not hiding anything. Finally, the democrats don’t want to see the transcripts (which is what I want to see) they want to see the complaint. Why would they not want to see transcripts? Because accusations are far more important to democrats than evidence. Especially evidence that doesn’t lead to anything.

To gain proof that Trump is being targeted, he’s bringing up Biden’s malthisians. And it’s hitting the target. Biden is stressing out. And He’ll have a lot to answer for in the next debate.

As far as Biden goes, there is, again, no evidence he did anything. There’s a lot of smoke and a lot of coincidences. But no evidence. Should we investigate? Probably, he’s running for President. If he wasn’t I wouldn’t care less. But this is going to kill Presidential bid whether he’s innocent or not. His gafs are one thing but the image of him being corrupt might be the final straw. As of this week, Elizabeth Warren is winning in the polls in Iowa. I think Biden’s run is done and Elizabeth Warren will be the nominee.

 

Democrats Do What The Democrats Do

Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, just dropped a MOAB of the democrats chances of winning the presidency for 2020. Listen.

Yep, they’re starting an inquiry of impeachment. It was kind of hard to understand because Nancy’s dentures kept rolling around. Nancy got together with all the other House democrats and they decided to go for it.

Sort of.

What an impeachment inquiry means is they are going to do a bunch of investigations (which will take six months to a year) where they are doing nothing else. Then, they will see if they have enough votes for impeachment (which, as of now, they don’t). Once that’s done, they’ll send this to the House Judiciary Committee which will vote. They will hold more hearings and vote. If it gets through that, it will then voted on the floor of the House. If it passes the House vote (only a majority is needed) it will go to the Senate for a trial. The senate won’t convict because the trial would be crap.

The House is wasting time and are doing nothing during all these investigations. They will lose the House, Senate and Presidency in 2020. By a landslide.

And that may mean there might not be another democratic President for twenty years because Mike Pence will run and win. He’s smart and likable. Then Nikki Halley will win because she’s smart and likable. I we still have Ben Crenshaw.

This is going to be a disaster for democrats.
