Ep. 119 A defining moment for Democrats

Ep. 119 His Vine & Fig Tree Podcast During the State of the Union speech Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump created a defining moment. He said: "So tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle: if you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens." Democrats didn’t stand for that statement. Americans have seen Democrats engage in mind-boggling things that we are supposed to just accept as reality: transitioning kids from their biological gender; not protecting girls and women in bathrooms and lockerrooms; and assorted other idea that reject reality. Americans must grapple with the question: How do you co-exist in a nation with people who accept that American citizens are not the top priority? Democrats also failed to stand for the greiving parents of Ukrainian migrant Iryna Zarutska who was killed on a Charlotte train last year.On Piers Morgan’s Uncensored he had four guests, leftist Cenk Uygur, comedian Dave Smith and Iranian women Elica Le Bon and Goldie Ghamari. Smith made the statement: “The only people who want this war is Israel and the Israel lobby.” Le Bon gave the rebuttal and left the three men speechless as she traced Iranian and Middle Eastern history. She argued the only way things change in Iran is regime change. There’s hundreds of Americans who have died at the hands of the Iranian regime—and that’s likely a conservative number. When does a nation that purports to stand for freedom and liberty engage in actions that would stand by those virtues?“Morning Joe” recently had Hillary Clinton as a guest and she clearly took aim at white, male Christians. Clinton is a national security threat. The American people don’t like her or trust her. All of these efforts to resuscitate her credibility are tone deaf and media malpractice.Two big stories that need far more attention:A 13 year-old girl was beaten by two peers at a Washington middle school over President Trump and ICE.Aaron Marin is a Republican running for a County Commissioner seat in North Carolina.
