TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Brought to you by the every dollar app start budgeting for free today We are praying for this nation where people of the book and the book tells us to pray for our leaders Even if we don't agree with them and Trump is one of our leaders He was a president and Joe Biden is one of our leaders He is the current sitting president and not many things that president Biden does that I agree with but it is my job to pray for him Anyway, and certainly to not bring him harm I can disagree with him and still honor the office and still honor the person and certainly not engaging any kind of Stupidity like some of the rhetoric that has gone on in the last 48 hours and really is going on for the last several years Some of you people are really too serious about what happens in the White House if you'd concentrate half as much of what happens in your house You've been a whole lot better shape because that's really the the common denominator of success. It hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there Yes, they do some things that affect our lives But very I've had several of them try to ruin my life and then pulled it off And I've had several of them try to make my life better and they can pull that off and so I'm old And I've seen I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy and they weren't and I've seen presidents that were going to be the second Coming of Jesus and they were not even close. So I mean seriously people I think the problem is is that the level of anger has to do with the expectations of what the office can provide And so treat these people like people they have families they have children they have friends I've got friends that are congressmen friends that are senators and the stuff that they have to put up with the stuff that is mailed to this Office at me and into Ramsey solutions because some of you are just out of control And you should not spend your money on financial piece university. You should spend it on counseling because you need it You know it's that kind of stuff.

It's going on out there angel. Oh, yeah I mean for sure and I think it's just a level of of the anger comes from a level of fear scared of what what where the Country's gonna go on either side of the spectrum But I think that that's the sobering idea is going back to okay What's going on with my family in my home from the money perspective when my paycheck hits my checking account What am I gonna do with it right? So there's a level of control that we can have in our lives there You know you can go to the go to the polls right you can go and vote in November And that's a that's a choice in a level of control you have and then it's and then it's you know up to fade at that point of what occurs But I think I think you're right. I mean we Ramses and people that work at Rams are all very passionate people.

We have loud arguing fun discussions about things But we don't wish death on the gosh. No. No, I mean, oh really sad. Yeah, the president visa I mean, no, it's just the president visa credit card.

It's okay, you know, don't go on credit card debt is stupid and you know If you're a payday lender, you shouldn't be doing it. It just takes humanity out of us I'm not gonna I'm not gonna suggest that the guy be taking out. I mean this is nuts. So It's just sad.

It's a sad. It was a sad here's the thing if you if you will concentrate on fighting ideas That is a valid quest to argue about ideas when you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea You've already lost the argument because you've lost the high ground you've lost the ability to argue your idea Because you can't stay on top of the idea loses ground So you have to attack the person and when you can't when you can't back up your philosophy when you can't back up your belief And have an argument about that healthy a good. I'll have a strenuous argument. I mean we don't scream We don't scream but we argue it in high voices around here.

Sometimes because we're trying to figure out which play to call to win the Super Bowl trying to figure out which product to put out there to help you folks next and We you know we struggle with that and passionately But if your idea is so weak that you have to attack the person because your idea won't hold its own water That's when you've already lost and so then you've only got a bunch of people that drop to the lowest common denominator Are the only people that'll follow a person whose idea has lost but they're passionate about it You know, it's just you've got to be able to argue on the points of merit and that's basic debate. That's basic common sense basic wisdom And it's just it's sad. It's a sad comment about what's going on in our country and How someone cannot look at the ideas represented the principles represented by different campaigns and for that matter the quality of the person That's going to implement those ideas. Can you stand with that or not?

And that's you know, and if you think that then go there I mean we've got arguments about that ever since there's been a president is the quality of the person good enough and There's always been someone that said I mean stuff that was written about Abraham Lincoln unbelievable the stuff that was written about JFK Unbelievable and by the way, you all look at JFK's policies and ideas You want to see some conservative economic thought? Bordering on libertarian go read what JFK believed about economics. I was putting in place. It's very interesting for a Democrat So but it's you know, these things like the pendulum swings people argue and push through different things and different people have different quality of Reasons and reasoning, but this is out of hand.

So our vote is for prayer for this nation. That's our vote Our vote is for prayer for you and your house That you get your act together in in spite of who's in the White House Not or not because of who's in the White House you prosper because if you're waiting on one of them to prosper your life You have a long wait your life's gonna suck because government is not designed to make your life awesome Sorry It's not your cell phone has more power than your president to make your life awesome I mean you can push buttons and stuff actually happens with it I mean when you push buttons in the voting booth very seldom does anything actually happen think about it I want to believe it does I want to believe it does but name me a time it did a couple of things here and there But nothing that I went oh everything's okay. I know it totally is I hear you're saying Yeah, yeah, I just read reminds it reminds all of us tip to argue ideas And you don't have to destroy people for your idea to win otherwise your ideas not good. Oh This is the Ramsey show
