The Trump Podcast

President Trump proposes sending illegals flocking to the U.S to Sanctuary Cities and the left freaks out.   

The TrumpPodcast is back and on a historic day. One that will go down infamy as the lowest point for the Senate for the United States. Brett Kavanaugh continues the fight to clear his name while Dr. Ford spoke her "truth" while being a pawn in the Democrat game. We evaluate it. 

A fast and firm message regarding the pain of another shooting, and the truth that is lost in the emotion and pain of its aftermath. 

For the two weeks, there has been a drumbeat for the release of “The Memo.” A four page document that purports to lay out FBI and DOJ abuses regarding Donald Trump. Unlike past possible government overreach situations in the past, the press has declared that it should not be released and now that it has is apoplectic about it. But what is in the memo? Is it a smoking gun or just another bread crumb in a larger story. In this episode, we break down the press reaction and the memo itself.

President Trump gives his first State of the Union speech. Need we have any more of an introduction. 

Donald Trump allegedly says, "Why are we letting all these people come here from these sh*thole counties," when discussing Haiti, El Salvador, and Africa. Need we say more? Plus, Conservatives slam Mia Love. Whats up with that?    

Jake Tapper and Oprah found themselves amongst each other at the top of the news cycle this week. Jake upruptly ended his interview with Trump Advisor Stephen Miller, saying "he was wasting his viewers time," and Oprah spoke to the Hollywood hills that have the entertainment elites gushing about a Presidential run. As is usually the case the reaction to each is overblown. We will explain why.   Show Notes: Link to article on Michael Wolff https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/7-claims-that-have-been-disputed-in-michael-wolffs-bombshell-book-on-trump-so-far/ss-BBI8smk?ocid=ientp#image=1

The Trump money train has truly begun this week with the publication of the new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. The book has the President in attack mode, and Wolff is already counting the cash he’s going to get. But is the book to be believed? Or is it a liberal version of an Ed Klein Clinton attack book? We’ll get into it. Plus, the dumbest thing CNN has done in months. 

2018 is here. The start of a new year brings a new election season and Democrats are salivating at the mouth to take the House. And they have reason to feel good. History does not favor the party in control of all three branches of government. So what can President Trump do to extend his agenda and mitigate any mid-term election losses? Hint: Its not anything Paul Ryan wants to do.

The Tax Reform Bill is passed. The Republicans have won. Or have they? There was no Democrat votes for it. The public polls are negative. A mid-term election looms in the future. Doesn’t this all sound so 2010 and Obamacare? In this episode we open the history books and go over the differences between the two laws that have so much in common on the service. Will 2018 be the flip side of the 2010 Democrat shell-lacking, and will tax reform be to blame?

We are on the eve of President Trumps first legislative accomplishment, Tax reform. But is it a law for the rich only? Critics and news anchors like Shepard Smith assert that it is. Here is the truth. 

Robert Mueller handed down indictments today in the Russia Collusion probe. The Left are giddy. Conservatives are fuming. But one group is steadily lying, obfuscating, and misleading everyone. We tell you whom in this episode. 

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos turned her intention to rescind Obama-era Title IX guidance into action on Friday, leading advocates of college sexual assault survivors to worry that it could unfairly shield those accused of sexual misconduct. But those advocates are not telling the whole truth. In this episode I delve into the details of the Obama directive and explain what it actually allowed the accuser to do...and keep the accused from doing.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos turned her intention to rescind Obama-era Title IX guidance into action on Friday, by reversing the policy of lowering the standards of proof for sexual assault. A policy that blacks in general and the NAACP and Urban League specifically have supported. But that support is for a policy that endangers young black men in college, and it took a white President and a white Sec. of Education to protect black men from unfair treatment on college campuses. This QuickByte is for those two organizations. It's a message to their leadership. 

President Trump brought his bombastic style and message to the United Nations, promising to wipe North Korea off the map--if the attack our allies or America. Democrats are having a hissy fit. Republicans are gushing over the speech. Both are acting silly. Here is why.

A horrific event took place last weekend and the press are attacking President Trump over his initial response. This episode is simple, I explain why they, including the even-handed Eboni K. Williams of Foxnews are totally wrong. 

The Trump administration took America on another drama filled roller-coaster ride this week. We are only six months into the new administration. When does the winning start and the tweets stop?

In this episode we delve into reality. The President must get rid of the special counsel if he hopes to salvage his political agenda for the American people. We explain why. Key information from this episode.   Can the President Fire Mueller?   US current Labor Participation rate

Its been a busy couple of weeks. Trump had his first face to face with President Putin at the G20 Summit, days before North Korea launched another missile test, and today Republican Senators took another swing at healthcare with a revised bill that is a total capitulation to the idea that government should be in the health insurance business. 

The Senate, lead by Mitch McConnell, released a revised version of the Republican Repeal and Replace plan for Obamacare. In this QuickByte I discuss how the Republicans are capitulating to the idea that healthcare is a right paid for by the government. 

In today’s episode, we are doing double duty. Our special guest is a Gabrielle Seunagal a writer with Red Nation Rising, http://rednationrising.us/gabrielle-seunagal/ and other news outlets. She’s young, black, and a libertarian conservative that supports President Trump. Basically, someone the left says does not exist. But we’re talking to her, so obviously she does and she’s not alone. Plus, a new poll by Foxnews show 27% favor Senate healthcare bill. What happened? Obamacare was around 50%+ percent in disapproval. I’ll crack the case and explain the dilemma.   *a few audio issues in this ep, but we worked it out

In this Quickbyte we go over the accusations of Democrats that the Senate bill is a massive tax cut for the rich. But the problem is the entitled belief that theft from the successful is appropriate. 

Its the Republican Senates turn at bat for healthcare reform. In this episode recorded while filming live on Facebook, I go over the plan. I read the 142 pages, and I've got the important highlights in the bill. Some of it is good. There is some bad. And I explain the Ugly; namely how Democrats are winning on healthcare right now. 

Yesterday, James T. Hodgkinson, opened fire at 20 Republican Congressional Leaders. House Whip Scalise was shot in the hip and is in the hospital. The shooter was an anti-trump voter that once volunteered for the Bernie Sanders campaign. Calls for unity and civility have been expressed by Democrats and Republicans, because both want the same things for America. That is a falsehood and this episode explains why Progressive Democrats are complicit in this violent attack.  

James Comey came calling on the Senate again, testifying about his firing, Russia probe, and the leaking of his memo. It was a blockbuster political event that shed light on the former directors thinking, and the Russia probe.  We review the events, but get into the question that no one is talking about. Just what are James Comey’s motivations? Why has he interspersed himself into the politics of the moment three separate times in the last year.

The CBO has released their score on the House passed bill to Repeal and Replace Obamacare. The score says 23 million Americans will lose health insurance. Democrats and reporters are going crazy over the report. Except what they are saying is not true. This QuickByte episode explains the truth in under five minutes. 

D.C. got struck by a political thunderbolt. FBI Director James Comey was fired by President Trump. It is a surprise move that has shocked the political world. When you look at the reasons why from the President, and the reactions from Democrats and Republicans, none of it passes the smell test.   Something this way Funky is wafting through Washington. We get into the reasons why everyone is a hypocrite in this episode. 

We have reached the 100 days of the Trump Presidency. How is he doing? That's what everyone is talking about. We evaluate it from a more practical level, reviewing what he the true impact of his decisions so far as President. Including how he is handling his major challenge as President.

President Trump sends a direct message to the world with the use of military force in Syria and against ISIS; dropping bombs on both. What are the implications, consequences, and reactions?    More important, how is North Korea looking at this and what are the chances of conflict with them? We get into it all in this episode.    Episode picture courtesy of Conservative Warrior twitter.com/BraveConWarrior

The Washington Post, ABC, and Wall Street Journal all have polls out on our 45th President as the 100 day mark looms. We dissect the numbers, talk about the reasons behind the numbers, and go over one question that proves the inadequacies of Hilary Clinton. 

In week 11 both the Republican Senate and President Trump decided it was bombs away. The Senate nuclear option was taken, and President Trump ordered a military strike against Syria. What happens next?

Last week Neil Gorsuch took the fire of Democratic Senators determined to derail his nomination in three days of 12 hour+ hearings. We cover the highlights, and reveal what the end goal may be for the Democrats.

Its not even 70 days into the Trump Regime, and we now know what the Twitter habits of President Trump are going to be for the next four years. The Trump Podcast invites back PR and social media marketing expert, Brian Hart, CEO of Flackable to talk about what we have seen so from the President. This is more than a discussion of twitter, its about the communication hits, misses, and miscues from the Trump team.    

In this Quickbytes I take on the news of the week. The Repeal and Replace effort was torpedoed by Conservatives in the Freedom Caucus. I explain their mistake and what’s going on for real in under 10 mins!

A week ago, President Trump tweeted out the President Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped. It was an explosive charge and one he has not been able to or willing to prove. James Comey testified this week, specially to address this issue.  In this episode, we get into the mottled mess of this story, and the conflicting reports that lend credence to the President Trumps accusations. 

The GOP released their Repeal and Replace plan last week. The reviews came fast and furious. The Trump Podcast waited. We wanted to read the actual bill first, wait to see and gauge reaction and get the Congressional Budget Office report. Now in this episode, we give you the facts on the plan, the numbers, and evaluate. 

The CBO has released their analysis on the Republican Repeal and Replace plan. In this QuickByte I tell you the results, and explain why the report is a good one for the plan.

This episode contains part to of the discussion sponsored by the Central Florida Urban League on Criminal Justice and Economic Empowerment. Part two focuses on the economic discussion with panelists: Darrick McGhee, Sr. Vice President Government Relations, Johnson & Blanton, LLC; John F. Davis, President, African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida; and Alvin Cowans, President and CEO, McCoy Federal Credit Union. It is an interesting discussion with a theme on holding government and companies accountable for the results you want in your community.

Last week a listener to the show had a question about something said regarding Obamacare. We said there were no choices, he felt that the marketplace provided choice and the ability to get catastrophic coverage. Since Obamacare is going to be the main point of emphasis in the next two weeks, in this episode I respond in detail about how the exchanges work, which choices are available, and what the Republicans will have to include in their own plan.    Explanation of Obamacare plans and catastrophic plans https://www.healthcare.gov/choose-a-plan/plans-categories/  

President Trump just finished his first joint speech to Congress tonight. If his Presidency was not official in the minds of many still, it is after this evening. Questions about his ability to be Presidential were answered. Questions about his policy prescriptions remain unanswered. We review the speech and get into the nitty-gritty.  

Roland Martin, along with elected officials and business leaders, kicked off the 2017 Central Florida Urban League’s Empowerment Weekend with a community conversation about Criminal Justice reform and Economic Empowerment. The Trump Podcast attended the event. The focus was on local and general issues, but we delve into how the Trump administration could affect the prison industry in Part One of this discussion. 

Week Four in the Trump Presidency is what they call in the ‘hood a hot mess. General Flynn has been forced to resign as head of the NSA. His ouster for sure was fueled by leaks in the intelligence community that oppose President Trump, and several Republicans rebelled against the idea of Andy Puzder as Labor Secretary. So much for the Republican majority…. In this episode I break down the Insurrection that appears to be fomenting.

Week Three in the Trump Presidency is in the books and it was a doozy. Trump is in Court over his travel ban....and has lost to two rounds thus far. Elizabeth Warren got silenced in the Senate when opposing Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Democrats spend all night fighting the Betsy Devos nomination only to lose again.   The adventure is ramping up and in this episode I go over the details that have not been reported in the main stream news, and provide audio outtakes from the court battle. Join in the fun this episode is full of information.    FULL AUDIO OF ORAL ARGUMENTS BEFORE 9TH APPEALS COURT http://heavy.com/news/2017/02/9th-ninth-circuit-appeals-hearing-live-stream-how-to-watch-video-audio-youtube-trump-immigration-muslim-ban-lawsuit-washington/  

In this QuickByte I explain why President Trump has essentially loss this battle over his travel ban, even though he will win eventually. 

Donald Trump has nominated Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. He is considered a real inheritor of the Scalia tradition. If true, President Trump will have kept a major campaign promise and justified the vote that millions of conservatives cast for him. But can he get confirmed without the killing of the filibuster? In this episode, I talk with Steve Scott, director of the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy and the Kate M. Gregg Professor of Social Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. About what happens next and the possible costs of getting rid of the 60-vote threshold.

President Trumps first week was a whirlwind and now we have screaming headlines predicting doom, or throwing different stories about what the President is doing or saying. The First 100 days has started and President Trump took off like a sprinter in week one. Executive order after executive order was issued: immigration, Obamacare repeal, Keystone Pipelines, and more. In this episode, we review the first week with an emphasis on what the orders really mean and what they don’t. Plus, we give you the difference between an Executive Order and a Presidential Memoranda    Show Notes   Executive Orders: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders Presidential Memoranda https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/presidential-memoranda 

President Trumps first week was a whirlwind and now we have screaming headlines predicting doom, or throwing different stories about what the President is doing or saying. Is the end nigh? Do you know how to determine fact from fiction in a news story?   In this episode of QuickBytes, I go over the chicken little episode and use a story written by Jake Tapper of CNN, as an example of what to look out for when reading or listening to the news.    CNN Headline Sample   Storylink: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/29/politics/donald-trump-immigrant-policy-social-media-contacts/index.html 

It is officially done. Donald Trump is President Trump. Thus, America's 58th Presidential Inauguration is complete, and kept the same level of drama we have come to expect with this election cycle. A few thousand protesters cried and wailed on Inauguration day. 500,000 people showed up the next day to protest. We were on the streets and in the mix. In this episode we break down the truth and where the Democrats are headed…and where they need to go if they want to stop Trump four years from now.

On the dawn of the Swearing in of our next President, I provide the simple answer to this question.

Donald Trump gave his first and only press conference as President-elect last week, and it was a doozy. He was on full display in his attacks on the media, and the intelligence community. He also continued to confirm the conclusion of many that his temperament is not stable enough for the presidency. But is that historically correct? Is his demeanor that bad, or is the American public just used to a well-crafted facade by politicians? The Trump Podcast welcomes back Dr. Christopher Huff, assistant professor of history at Beacon College to give us a history lesson on the temperment of past Presidents.

For this recording, a personal message from me to you. Forty-two Congressman have decided to boycott the inauguration. Popular, well liked black celebrities are being shamed for speaking with Donald Trump or refusing to perform for him. The stares and disdain for anyone that supports him are sharp and cutting. Nonetheless, I will attend. Why? The answer to that question is the personal message I give to you in this episode. Why a black man--proud of his blackness--will attend the inauguration of this country's 45th President
