omething that we wanted to do but we couldn't do because of his personality? What was something that went all wrong because of his character? Can you think of anything? The economy is roaring. You know what, whatever you want to say about Syria, let's take Syria for example. The closest that anybody got to an actual complaint — meaning that the things about the president's personality translated…

I saw an interesting video yesterday that I would not say is credible so take this with a grain of salt. But I'll put this in the form of a question. We haven't seen that much damage or military fighting coming out of the area. Some of it might be that just the lack of reporters. Maybe it's just too dangerous. But I have a sneaky suspicion that there aren't poor Kurds that were left to be slaughtered. Number one, the most effective fighting force in the region everybody agrees, right? That's a fairly standard opinion from everybody that the Kurds are the most effective fighting force in the region and they're tactically strong as well as just brave and willing. They're tactically very good.
Do you know what else they have? Do you know what else the Kurds have? I'm just guessing now. This is speculation. My guess is that the Kurds have some really good weapons. Do you think we left them without weapons? Do you think we took all our good ones and just loaded them in trucks and took it away? Probably not. How long do you think a Turkish tank would last in Kurdish territory? About 10 seconds. I don't think the Turks can control the ground. I think they can bomb forever but we know that bombing doesn't get you to controlling the ground. You know it's good stuff if it's in support of ground troops but bombing doesn't get you to control the ground. You've got to do that on the ground. And I don't know if the Turks even with their full military can beat the Kurds who are dug in, really good fighters, and they might have some really good weapons right now. Like I'm talking about the really good stuff. Things maybe you don't even know we have. I'm just guessing. I don't think we left them unarmed. That's my guess.
Now that's pure speculation but wouldn't you expect by now there would be a lot more reporting about how Turkey overran a Kurdish unit? Turkey has captured 300 Kurds. Turkey has slaughtered these Kurds. It's kind of missing, isn't it? Isn't today the day we're supposed to be hearing about how Turkey's crushing the Kurd military? It might not be going the way the Turks expected. Might not be going that way. There is some chance that the Kurds are kicking the Turks' ass right now on the ground. Now you know in terms of the air I guess the Turks probably control the air. I don't know. That's just speculation that maybe that fight is not going the way everybody thought it would go because Kurds seem to just defy the military calculation because they just tend to be good.
All right, let's talk about the Democrat debate. I thought that the biggest story of the debates is the stuff they didn't talk about which includes Russia collusion. Wasn't much about Russia collusion, was there? How would you feel if you were a Democrat and a voter and you've been watching your team push Russia collusion for two and a half years and then just stop talking about it? Yeah it just doesn't come up. Would you say to yourself, wow my team was really wrong for two and a half years. Maybe I shouldn't trust the next thing they bring up.
What about the fact that for three years or more the primary attack from the Democrats is calling this president a racist? Where'd that go? Did you notice that that was just missing last night? It used to be their primary problem. If the Democrats believed that this president was an actual racist which is the things that they claim or they used to claim all the time, wouldn't that be grounds for impeachment? I mean really if the Democrats had in fact anything like the obvious evidence that they claim is all over the place that the President of the United States is an actual racist and doing racist things and obviously signaling to people, if any of that were true isn't that grounds for impeachment? Because impeachment is a full political act. It doesn't require a crime. Impeachment requires that the politicians just decide, you know you're being all racist, we got to get rid of you.
So if you're a Democrat what do you make of the fact that the biggest complaint from your team, racism, just sort of they stop talking about it? Wouldn't it make you wonder if it were ever real in the first place?
Now to his credit President Trump has been chipping away at that. Let me talk to you. There's something about funding the historically black colleges. There's the First Step program, prison reform. He's always bragging about unemployment being great for the African-American community. So an easy sell. Defense with just scads of black people who seem very happy about the president. Then there's Kanye West who's saying he still loves the president even if he doesn't like his policies in some cases. So I've got a feeling that the whole racist complaint wasn't getting traction. They must test this stuff the Democrats so they must have figured out that the public was over it. It was the biggest thing and then they just let it go. Moving on.
What about they don't really talk about President Trump destroying the economy, do they? Where's that? That used to be a big problem, right? He's destroying the economy. Don't have that anymore. What about climate change? Now I realized that climate change — they h

ad CNN had a whole seven hours of just climate change topic with these candidates — but wasn't it conspicuously missing from the questions? I think some of the candidates mentioned it but it wasn't even part of the question. I don't think that climate change works anymore as a topic. Why do you think it doesn't work as a topic anymore? Yeah and Biden didn't mention the Charlottesville hoax. Why d…
