Dave Ramsey Reacts to the Donald Trump Assassination Attempt

[Music] brought to you by the every dooll app start budgeting for free today we are praying for this nation uh we're people of the book and the book tells us to pray for our leaders even if we don't agree with them and Trump is one of our leaders he was a president and Joe Biden is one of our leaders he is the current sitting president and um not many things that uh President Biden does that I agree with but it is my job to pray for him anyway and uh certainly to not bring him harm I can disagree with him and still uh honor the office and still honor the person and certainly not engage in any kind of stupidity like uh some of the Ric that has gone on in the last 48 hours and really has gone on for the last several years uh some of you people are really too serious about what happens in the white house if you'd concentrate half as much of what happens in your house you've been in a whole lot better shape uh cuz that's really the the Dominator the the common denominator of success it hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there um yes they do some things that affect our lives but very I've had several of them try to ruin my life and they hadn't pulled it off and I've had several of them try to make my life better and they hadn't pulled that off and so um I'm old and I've seen them I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy and they weren't and I've seen presidents that were going to be the second coming of Jesus and they were not even close so um I mean seriously people I think the problem is is that the level of anger has to do with uh the expectations of what the office can provide and so treat these people like people they have families they have children they have friends I've got a friends that are congressmen friends that are senators and the stuff that they have to put up with the stuff that is mailed to this office at me in into Ramsey Solutions cuz some of you are just out of control and you should not spend your money on Peace University you should spend it on counseling because you need it you know it's that kind of stuff it's going on out there Rachel oh yeah I mean for sure and I think it's just a level of of the anger comes from a level of fear scared of what what you know where the country's going to go on either side of the spectrum but I think that that's the sobering idea is going back to okay what's going on with my family in my home from the money perspective when my paycheck hits my checking account what am I going to do with it right so there's a level of control that we can have in our lives there are you know you can go to the go to the polls right you can go and and vote in November and that's a that's a choice and a level of control you have and then it's and then it's you know up to up to fate at that point of what of what occurs but I think I think you're right I mean we uh ramies and people that work at Ramsey are all very passionate people we have loud arguing fun discussions about things but we don't wish death on people gosh no I mean I'll argue really sad the president of Visa I mean no it's just the president of Visa it's just a credit card it's okay you know don't go in credit card debt is stupid and uh you know if you're if you're a Payday lender you shouldn't be doing that it just takes Humanity out of a system I'm not going to I'm not going to suggest that the guy be taken out I mean that's just nuts so um it's just it's really sad it's a sad it was a sad here's the thing if you if you will if you will concentrate on fighting ideas that is a valid quest to argue about ideas when you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea you've already lost the argument because you've lost The High Ground you've lost the ability to argue your idea because you can't stay on top of the the idea loses ground so you have to attack the person and when you can't when you can't back up your philosophy when you can't back up your belief um and have an argument about that a healthy a good have a string argument I mean we yell scream we don't well scream but we we argue in High voices around here sometimes because we're trying to figure out which play to call to win the Super Bowl we're trying to figure out which product to put out there to help you folks next and we we you know we we struggle with that and passionately but we if your idea is so weak that you have to attack the person because your idea won't hold its own water that's when you've already lost and so then you've only got a bunch of people people that uh drop to the lowest common denominator are the only people that will follow a person whose idea has lost but they're passionate about it m you know it's just you've got to be able to argue on the points of Merit and that's basic debate that's basic uh common sense it's basic wisdom and it's just it's sad it's a sad comment about what's going on in our country and how someone cannot look at the uh ideas represented the principles represented by campaigns and for that matter the quality of the person that's going to implement those ideas can you stand with that or not um and that's you know and if you think that then go there uh I mean we've had arguments about that ever since there's been a president is the quality of the person good enough and um there's always been someone that said I mean the stuff that was written about Abraham Lincoln unbelievable the stuff that was written about JFK unbelievable and by the way you ought to look at JFK's policies and ideas you want to see some conservative economic thought bordering on libertarian go read what JFK believed about economics and was putting in place it's very interesting for a Democrat so uh it's you know these things they the pendulum swings people argue and push through different things and different people have different uh quality of reasons and reasoning but this is out of hand so our vote is for prayer for this nation that's our vote our vote is for prayer for you in your house that you get your act together and in spite of who's in the White House not or not because of who's in the White House you prosper because if you're waiting on one of them to prosper your life you have a long wait your life's going to suck because government is not designed to make your life awesome sorry it's not your sell has more power than your president to make your life awesome I mean you can push buttons and stuff actually happens with it I mean when you push buttons in the voting booth very seldom does anything actually happen think about it I want to believe it does I love I want to believe it does but name me a time it did well a couple couple of things here and there but nothing that I went oh everything's okay now I know totally yes I hear what you're saying y yep yeah I just it reminds it reminds all of us to to argue ideas is and you don't have to destroy people for your idea to win otherwise your idea is not good oh this is the Ramsey Show
