The Trump Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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.
