Welcome back to the David Dorer Show. You can listen to this show live at 6PM by using the spreaker player application below. Once the show starts, it will automatically update.
Today’s episode is the “A House Divided” Edition where we will discuss the Georgia Sixth District run-off election for the House of Representatives next Tuesday, the shooting at the GOP Softball Practice this past Wednesday, and President Trump’s actions regarding Cuba normalization today.
First, John Ossoff and Karen Handel are in a dead-heat race Georgia’s Sixth District Congressional Seat. Democrat Ossoff, whom garnered almost as many votes as the eleven Republicans combined, is favored to win by seven points. Comparably, Repbulican Handel has enlisted the help of Vice President Pence to help spur excitement for this contentious race. My contention here is that Mr. Ossoff leads because his views are actually substantially more conservative than the party his name bears, while Handel has struggled to express a message other than Mr. Ossoff is a Democrat, and thusGeorgia’s Sixth shouldn’t vote for him.
Second, a shooter attacked a GOP softball practice on Wednesday morning, and House Whip Steve Scalise is currently in critical condition. The shooter volunteered for the Bernie Sanders campaign for President in 2016. We will discuss the hostilities with the current political landscape, their sources, and the solutions we can see.
Lastly, President Trump announced today a change to Obama’s track to the normalization of political relations with Cuba, but the executive order appears to be more of a show than a smoking cigar. Essentially, doing business with Cuba is okay, but doing business with the Cuban military is not. Further, some vague changes to people-to-people travel are anticipated, but none are outlined in any particular detail. The embassies in DC and Havana will remain open, there will continue to be the ability for Americans to bring back rum and cigars from Cuba, and the end goal is a Cuba that is free from the reins of Castro.
My guest this week is Attorney Bunker (@RSBUNKER). We will have the news, Blogger Fodder, and more.
