Trump's Team made a huge mistake! Obama's In The Jungle · Gil I Am

  Speaker 1: Good morning everybody. What's happening is this girl? And today
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is Monday. Nice. Anyway, We're gonna talk a little bit
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: right now about Donald Trump and the monkey video, the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: in the jungle video thing. Don't get me wrong. Now,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we need to talk really about when the message gets
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: lost and why that post was was just a mistake, right,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So let's let's make no mistake about it. I want
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to be very clear from the start, I voted for
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I have been supporting his policies. I still
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: believe many of his instincts about America are right. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: loyalty to Donald Trump does not mean silence, especially when
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: something hurts the movement that we care about. The movement
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: out speaking of as Christian Conservatism. Now, because that post
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that circulated depicted them as as monkeys, that wasn't just
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: offensive to many people. It wasn't just unnecessary. It was
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a strategic, moral, and political mistake. Make no mistake about
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump did not post that video, but someone he
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: trust did post that video. He did not apologize. He
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: should have apologized. And if any conservatives, Christian conservatives, don't
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: say that out loud, then we surrender the meral highline
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that we claim that we are defeeling. So I have
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a few little points. Okay, so this wasn't about offense.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It was about strategy. So let's get something strange. This
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: isn't about me being sensitive. This isn't about me being
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: too sensitive. It isn't about bowing down to the left,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and it certainly isn't about apologizing for my beliefs. It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: about losing the plot right. The post didn't advance a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: single conservative argument. It didn't do anything about inflation, not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: about the border, security, not about prime not about foreign policy,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: not about corruption or accountability. Instead, handed the left exactly
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what they wanted, a distraction that refrained Trump supporters as
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: being on serious, cruel, reckless. You know, politics is not therapy,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it's persuasion, and that post persuaded no one who wasn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: already locked in. The second point I want to make
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is that conservatism is about human dignity. Here's where I'm
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: going to say something that needs to be said more
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: cost them right. Conservatism is supposed to be about human dignity,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: limited government, human dignity, rule of law, human dignity, equal
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: treatment under the law, human dignity, personal responsibility, human dignity,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: don't get to defend those principles about stripping dignities from
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: people you disagree with. That is one of the biggest
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: problems with Donald Trump, the fact that he may be
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: right about a few things. But there is a time
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and a place to say nothing. Sometimes, just as there's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a time in a place to say something, often times
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: there's a time and a place to say nothing. So
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: when conservatives criticize the left, we say they they dehumanize
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: their opponents, they reduced people to lanes. Now they mock
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: instead of debate. And then Donald Trump posts something like
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that that comes out and suddenly we look like hypocrites.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: More importantly, he looks like a hypocrite. You cannot fight
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: cultural rock or participating in it. And what he did
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: was exactly what he and people like me say that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we don't want. We don't want the cultural rock. We
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: want everything to have a should moral value, with living
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the government. But it's Donald Trump. I mean, I didn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: expect anything less. I did, however, expected something a little
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: bit better than what he did. So let me tell
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you who won the moment that post went one. Not Trump,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: not Christians, not conservatives, not voters worrying about the economy,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the media one, the liberal medium one, because overnight the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: conversation stopped being about Biden's record, Biden's health, Biden's policy failures,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the institutional audience that comes along it all became Look
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: how unhinged Trump supporters are. Look how unhinged Trump is.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Every liberal anchor, every OpEd, every late night idiot had
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a gift rapped there. And worst of all, they didn't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: even have to exaggerate. When you give your opponents ammunition,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: don't be shocked when they use it. If you give
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: me ammunition, we need to go to more. I'm using it. Okay,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not only that, but let's go with the fourth thing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that happened. This coalition that we're supposed to build. These
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: people that were bringing in from the left who are
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: tired of the woke identity politics crap. Here's the uncomfortable
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: truth that many people don't want to face. Those people
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the left. They're the reason why elections are one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and why elections are one on small margins, Those suburban voters,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the minority voters who drifted right, the independents are fed
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up with chaos. Those voters care about people who are stable, decent, competent.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They may like Trump's policies, but they hesitate because of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: moments exactly like this. Not post didn't far up any
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: new voters, it didn't convert skeptics. It persuaded people, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it pushed them away. And if you care about winning,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: not just vincing online and say what you think is true.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest things about Trump is he doesn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: realize that discipline is power. There may be some things
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that he's disciplined them, but his ego and his pride
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: just won't stop. The strongest leaders don't say everything they
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: can say. They say what advances the mission. Trump at
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: his bestness discipline focused on the outcomes. He's focused on levers,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: focused on winning. That post wasn't about being of that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That post wasn't strength. It was impulsive, which is exactly
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: who he is. And conservatives used to understand that discipline
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is power and speech and conduct and leadership. You don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: beat your enemies by becoming a caricature of what they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: accuse you of being. So let me just close out, okay,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: what we need to hold the line without losing the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: soul of the party. Right, I'm still a conservative, I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a Christian first, I'm still a conservative, I still believe
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this country needs serious my farm, and I think the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: less vision there's dangerous. Look, I know the left's vision
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is dangers, but I also believe this. If we abandon decency,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we abandoned credibility. If we abandoned just upon, we abandoned
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the victory that we need. If we abandon the principle,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we become what we oppose. Calling out a mistake is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: not betrayal to the Christian Conservative movement. It's how this
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: movement will survive. And if we want to win, not
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: just shout. We need to remember what we're fighting for.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That it's not just who we're fighting against, it's what
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we're fighting for, not who we're fighting against. So remember
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: John and Trump. I hope you understand. I hope you listen.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You're never gonna listen to me, but there's people that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you should be listening to. If someone didn't think twice
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: about posting that that they're idiots that should have never known,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that should have never been posted. So I'm gonna stop
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: here for now. But this is my point of view,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and that is it for thout. I'm done with Donald
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Trump's bull problem. Okay, it needs to be called out,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm guilt, I'm gil guilty. Thanks for listening, and I'll
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: see you next time later mm hmm
