Devious Motives with Brett Winterble

Overnight we had an interview take place with Jake Tapper, the president united states hit a bunch of different things. It absolutely ignored the border issue, which I guess you kind of had to ignore that issue if you were the president of the United States. Because let's be honest, let's be serious about this. The border is a you know what disaster, it is a complete and total disaster of epic proportions. I don't know what the policy is supposed to be. I don't know, the way out for this. I think it's catastrophic. What we're dealing with here. And it'll only be known once we have a clearer picture of how many people have actually gotten into the country in an illegal fashion. I don't believe it's more than 15% that are legitimate refugees. At most, I think it's probably closer to 7% that are actual refugees that are actually trying to seek refuge from persecution, all that sort of stuff.

Welcome I am Brett Winterble. It is devious motives episode number seven season number three great to be here with you on this beautiful day across the United States of America. How do I know it's a beautiful day where you are because we are living in the land of freedom and liberty? And that's a hugely important blessing that we need to remember no matter what, as much as we go at it politically, and we try to throw down and have fights and all that kind of stuff. The reality is, we're really blessed to be in this country. I mean, my gosh, what are the odds? I say this and people, kind of roll their eyes at me. But I said, What are the odds you're born at this time in this place in this country? I mean, it's really trillions and trillions to one. You could have been dinosaur food a long time ago. But I digress. And the politicking is coming fast and furiously. Coming up. Later on. In this episode, I've got a conversation I did. With Ward Connerly. Ward Connolly is an African American businessman and former University of California regent. This is a very, very serious man who takes issues of opportunity very, very seriously. He's a conservative thinker, and was based in California, as you might imagine being a region in the UC system. And he has brought a case to the Supreme Court, along with a group of other folks who are suing over affirmative action, because of the denial of Asian students at Harvard and UNC.

In this Devious Motives let's talk about what you want and what you need!I want to start with a critique generally, so be for both parties. As it relates to the idea of debates. I don't know that debates are necessary any longer. I feel like it's an outmoded, outdated, sort of a thing that's gone on here. Now. I feel like debates are a relic of the past. Unless you're going to get a group of citizens asking the questions. We don't need professional moderators. Getting in there and asking the questions. I think a town hall is probably more effective, it's a lot more unpredictable. The job of being a politician is unpredictable. This is not like being a teacher who has a lesson plan and you follow the lesson plan each and every day. This isn't like an accountant or a lawyer, you're going to have crises jump up from time to time, that are going to have to be handled in pretty much in real time without panic without freaking out. All that sort of stuff. And so I think the proper place to have the discussions that we have heard from President Biden, just in these last couple of days are the the town halls the meetups, with the people out there asking the questions, and of course, you're gonna get Kooks and wackos who who want to talk about Hollow Earth or something like that. And I don't mean to disrespect people who want to talk about Hollow Earth, but I do think inflation energy access. I do think those sorts of things, the explosion of crime in our country are all much, much, much more relevant than they are.

What does the wide open border the collapse of Afghanistan, North Korean missile tests and a threat from Vladimir Putin have in common? Simple, we run the risk right now more than ever before, of getting involved in an atomic exchange.

Politics is never conducted in a vacuum. You say something, there's a reaction, somebody is offended, somebody is impacted, somebody has decided to take a counter position of some sort. And this has been made abundantly clear. As we look back to last weekend. Much was made about hurricane Ian and the impacts that we were going to see as a result of the storm coming in. But there was another storm that only flashed for a brief moment in time. And that storm was the storm involving vice president Kamala Harris, making an outstanding tour to Northeast Asia. You'll recall, many of the pundits laughed this off, many of the critiquers laughed us off. I played the clip a couple of times, where vice president Kamala Harris, going to pay her respects to Shinzo Abe's funeral there in Japan, stopping off in South Korea going to the DMZ and then of course, acknowledging it mistakenly, of course, we understand that, that the North Koreans were one of our long term allies. Well, you know, this is a real problem. Last week, Kamala Harris made a major blunder in calling North Korea our ally. And in the last 72 hours, they've replied by testing missiles, they're shooting missiles at Japan.

Welcome to Devious Motives, season three, that 22 big stories and issues leading up to the 2022 Election, as we'll be documenting the ebbs and flows of how this stuff is going on between now and right up to election day, we may even do a post mortem. Once we know what the results look like in this upcoming midterm election, it's important to understand what the core issues are, in this election, you have a third of the Senate up for election, and you have the entirety of the House of Representatives up for election, and you've got a good percentage of seats open in this midterm year, in the governor's mansions, and in state offices around the country, it is interesting to see the issues that are sort of percolating there under the surface, you know, most of them already, including, of course, inflation in the economy, the border, policing and public safety, climate change, defense of the democracy, and a myriad of other issues that are also at the same time being driven inside states themselves. But we know really what's going on here in this upcoming election. It's a proxy war. It's a proxy war, by and large, by two main actors. President Joe Biden will be up for reelection in 2024. And, of course, former President Donald Trump, who continues to campaign though not an admitted or declared candidate for the presidency in 2024. He's still out there doing a whole lot of rallies. He's got his truth social app, and his messaging to his constituency, in as much as the president is as well.
