hey everybody this is Deb with Truthification Chronicles and yeah my
Internet's back woohoo it was actually
something in the line the DSL line into
my house so they got it fixed and I have
a new modem actually and so I'm up and
running we're gonna see how this works
so anyway I wanted to point this out to
you this is an article on The Daily
Caller came out today and this has an
interview with presidential historian
Doug Wead and it's really interesting
the clip is actually the important part
because it just summarizes it down here
is the clip so I will play this for you
because I think that's the heart of what
I'm going to talk about after you see
what he has to say so I'll be right back
as soon as I showed you the clip of 2020
but why did the founding fathers feel
this institution was so important and
what would be the implications if
suddenly Democrats dragged it down here
to explain is presidential historian
Doug Wead Doug thanks for joining us
this morning
hey thank you Jedidiah okay so you know
we talked about the Electoral College
just remind people why this exists in
the first place why did the founding
fathers believe this was so important
balance checks and balance and to give
everybody a vote I mean we could have
the mainstream media in Hollywood in
Silicon Valley all just go to a ballroom
at the ritz-carlton in Santa Barbara
California locked the doors picked the
president and the country would be at
peace but the people in the rest of the
country get to participate too Doug
people just spit out their coffee all
across the country you're laying out
this Hollywood elite scenario deciding
all of it look at this map because in
all seriousness what you're laying out
is making a very serious point that half
of America lives in just 146 of the
biggest counties out of 3,000 counties
all across America so we've this
together in terms of what the Founding
Fathers wanted in terms of balance
across the country yeah they wanted
representation it's a republic they
didn't want the minority view to be
squashed socialism is defined by Isaiah
Berlin and others it the reason
squashes free speech is because
ultimately the speech of the community
is more important than the speech of the
individual and our Constitution is our
law George Washington said that the
Constitution was a guide that he would
never abandon Bay Toa Roark says it's
outdated dug real quickly what are the
odds this could happen this is back to
2016 first always commies fault then it
was the Russians fault now it's Thomas
Jefferson's fault it's the US
Constitution is the problem this family
fathers had a bit of wisdom and
sometimes you got people don't want to
listen but it's there Doug we appreciate
you have a good weekend so there you
have it I mean he did a really good job
of pointing out why we need the
electoral college now I was one of those
people several years ago who was like oh
the electoral college that was just so
the elites couldn't choose who the
president was and it's like no no it's
exactly the opposite especially when you
see a map like this it really brings it
home because you know if you live in one
of those blue areas that might not be so
bad but if you live in one of the gray
areas I mean it's very discouraging to
think that those people in the blue
areas are really running the country if
you live in a democracy but we don't we
live in a republic and because of that
we have this electoral college it was
set up as a type of check and balance to
help us make sure that the people who
live in these concentrated areas do not
control the entire country and that we
also have a voice I mean if you look
there there are some states that have no
blue areas no blue counties whatsoever
and that's something that you really
have to take into consideration because
if you have no populated area that's
enough to be you know out of these 146
counties why in the world would you want
to have a country where you have no
voice and there's a lot of America then
that would not have a
voice you know these big population
centers think that they're really the
center of everything but you know what a
lot of that center of the country is
where they get their food and some
industries and things like that
that are necessary to support the
lifestyle of these people living in
those blue counties so it's something
that we really need that balance and it
is part of the Constitution and our
founding fathers put it there
specifically so it would be a kind of
balance so these large population
centers would not rule over those of us
who live in smaller communities and this
way we also have a voice even if we live
out in the sticks like I do this is one
of the things that I think the founders
were brilliant in and they were
brilliant in so many ways in setting up
our country but this is something that's
essential now the fact that the
Democrats want to do away with the
electoral college to me that definitely
screams like well let's see we said
Comey did it well then he got fired and
we can't blame him anymore and we have
to actually protect him and then the
Russians did it well now Muller's report
is out and evidently nobody else is
going to get indicted from it so it's
very interesting and so no they can't
use that as an excuse anymore so they've
got to come up with something else and
this is just one way that they want to
try to stack the deck and as for the 16
year old I've got to talk about 16 year
olds voting now there are a few precious
sixteen year olds who are very mature
and who would take their responsibility
of voting seriously then there's the
others now remember I'm a retired
teacher I taught high school for 22
years so I've worked with an awful lot
of teenagers and I just cannot see
giving 16 year-olds the right to vote
they're just not ready for it yet and
part of it is that they don't understand
a lot of the intricacies of policy
because when you make a decision in line
on the President of the United States it
has ramifications not just on you know
whether you're going to vote democrat or
republican but it has ramifications on
many various topics you know there are
the International type things that a
president has to deal with and some of
that stuff most kids do not know about
and part of it is because we don't teach
them all that in school but in defense
of teachers there's just not enough time
to give them that because that kind of
knowledge comes with age and that's one
reason why a lot of people as they grow
older tend to become more conservative
because they've learned more they've
seen things happening they know how the
government works they know what kind of
international situation we're in and
that's why we tend to turn more
conservative as we age obviously not
everyone does but the majority of people
really do they tend to get more
conservative just because they know more
about the political aspects of our
country and the international scene and
kids just don't know that I mean I used
to take kids on travel over to Europe
and I could see that they just didn't
really understand the nuances of how
cultures are different and because
cultures are different
every country is really looking at their
own interests which may or may not be
the interests of the United States and
that's why it was so important to get
Trump in there and have him put our
country first you know America first why
is that important well it's because
every country out there logically is
trying to put their own country first
this whole thing about the electoral
college very important to us to keep us
from going down that path of the
globalism where we end up losing
ourselves in the world and this is what
makes our country different from other
countries we need to celebrate it
because it's part of our Constitution
it's part of
we are and remembering it is part of
making America great again
so let's just remember this share the
information this article kind of sums it
up if people don't want to watch the
video but down below is the article and
it just recaps what he said some of his
quotes so I think he did a good job
pointing it out and I hope that what he
said is true that it's not going to
happen because this is the push right
now that we need to get rid of that
electoral college yeah okay right
because Hillary lost anyway
