- Geoff Duncan, former Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, endorsed Joe Biden this week. Listen to him explain why he is opposing Donald Trump.
Tim Miller's interview with Geoff Duncan on the Bulwark podcast: • How Trump Lost Fmr. GO...
Bravo Geoff, a Republican who still has a conscience and a brain.
Duncan stands head and shoulders above a party of rogues and cowards who have made themselves small.
I do find it puzzling that people are so vehemently opposed to Biden. He’s so obviously moral and decent, and also arguably centrist. It’s like they’ve swallowed a narrative that isn’t really true.
I agree with Duncan. The truth will set us free.
Congressman Duncan is a Hero. A righteous Man of integrity and honor. Thank you Pat for highlighting this man.
What a reasonable, decent, honest man. I really appreciate this exposure, Pastor Pat.
I am a life long Christian. I was never heavily involved in politics. I’ve only voted maybe 4 or 5 times in my adult life. I’m 68 now. I have never voted for a republican because I followed the teachings of Christ. Republicans to me were the farthest away from those teachings. Do I agree with democrats on everything? No! But, I felt as a Christian I need to follow what Jesus said. Take care of the least among you. As the richest country in the world, we can well afford to take care of the widows, orphans , the elderly and the poor. These teachings of Christ should not be demonized. I haven’t voted since Obama, I will vote this year in hopes of keeping whom I view as the last days Antichrist out of office
Duncan verbalize something I just could not put my finger on. Our country is at a point where Republicans are what we need to be protected against. What a shame that more Republican leaders have not taken Duncans honor stand. Like it says in Mark 8:36 "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?". That is what I would like to say to MTG, Gaetz, McConnell, Mike Johnson and all the rest of those who support trump for self serving purposes. They are like the money changers in the Temple that Jesus went after. Acting like they are there to honor God but really there to make money. Heartbreaking.
Agreed. God is not bunting.
You are so right. In my wildest imagination I could never have imagined I would have to vote Democrat to save my country from the cult of Trump!!! That’s all the Republicans are. It’s heartbreaking for me to see this. Trump and his minions are the RINOs!!!
Well said, I’m agnostic …deconstructed from a conservative Christian background.
I have much personal love and respect for my family and friends who are Christians
but it’s heartbreaking and baffling to see their continued devotion to Trump.
I’ve voted republican, the Republican Party is ( sick ) not a slam just facts, a Christian should never see Trump as a leader of moral morality
❤ we need to get back to decency, disagreeing respectfully, and losing gracefully.
And winning gracefully too.
I am registered as a Republican but never voted for Donald Trump. I seemed to discern early on that he was lacking a moral compass. I am a Christian and I am not really enamored with Biden’s stand on abortion. I am ashamed of all the other Republicans that have not stood up for what is right. Praise to Geoff Duncan for doing the right thing. May he continue the good fight.
Seems like a decent man himself. Time to start envisioning life after MAGA and Trump.
👍Live to fight another day. For if we don't.....
We won't.
Thank you for highlighting Duncan's important, outspoken and thoughtful decision. Oh, for more and more Rs to reach such a conclusion.
Geoff Duncan would make an excellent president. He represents the Republican Party I used to belong to.
These people are public servants and should work for the benefit of the people to whom they should be accountable to. Thank you Pat
Most of them seem to have lost or discarded the meaning of "public servant", preferring, instead, to be masters.
How bad does Trump have to be to vote for Biden and not just once but twice? That says more about how bad Trump is than Biden. Jesus help us all and come save America. We repent and ask for your forgiveness. Please heal our land.😢😮
You seem to have missed the point he was making about not demonizing the other side
Thank you so much for sharing these clips with us! Refreshing and encouraging to listen to Gov Duncan and you. Makes me hopeful.
What a memorable clip! Thank you, Pat. I really appreciate the part about not demonising the opposition. That’s what the MAGA evangelicals can’t see.
Another good video. I find your videos so encouraging, on many levels. Thank you.
"a shocking case of normalcy" indeed sir indeed. I'll take that anytime. Thank you for your perspective on truth.
Detrumpification Now. 💯⚖️🙏🇺🇸
As a non believer, I can appreciate what you are doing on your platform, keep up the good work. 🌊 Joe Biden 2024
Thank you for this post. Joe Biden does have a moral compass. He cares deeply about the United States.
As a non-Christian, non-religious person, I have “faith” in the reasonable Americans, being a strong enough majority, to crush Trumpism, whether they be Democrats, or Republicans, or any other slice of America.
❤️🇺🇸
Come to Texas and you might change your assessment. My high school was named to honor Robert E. Lee-the Civil War general who led the killing of thousands of Americans over his supposed right to own black people as slaves. Lee claimed to be a Christian, as were the people who named my school in 1961, in blatant opposition to desegregation. The Republican platform under Trump is actually White Supremacy, though rebranded under the dog whistle “Anti-Woke.” It is actually anti-Christ.
Fantastic video! Thank you!
My parents were Democrats but always said your vote is a patriotic duty and right as an American, and to vote for the best candidate for the COUNTRY no matter the party. We are all Americans, when did party become an identity?! There's been jerks and nutballs on both sides. I would never vote, and have not for such a person. I have always voted my conscience and always will. It's really not that hard. I just can't understand why Republicans agonizing and moan when the options are dictator or save democracy.......smh
Amen Pastor. Amen.
Thank you for this hopeful information.
Your channel is making the case - step by brilliant step!
I’d love to see Pat interview Geoff Duncan.
I do hope Mr. Duncan has good security around himself and his family. There are, shall we say, "excitable" people out there who might want to "speak" with him.
Republicans need to vote for Biden and then be advocates for the policies they want from Biden. You won't get them all--but Democrats know all too well that he CAN be influenced by them (most Dems didn't want an immigration bill without consideration for Dreamers--but Biden gave it to them).
No real republican would vote for Biden as his current policies are opposed to Republican policies but also the Christian faith itself . A Republican who does not want to vote for Trump should either dont vote or vote third party . The so called case against Trump has been an ad hom attack and not actual policies . We have the policy record of both Trump and Biden. That’s the issue and not personal morality. Both Trump and Biden meet the constitutional requirements for the presidency. Biden’s overall policies are inconsistent and oppose the Christian faith .
Duncan, thank you!
So well put.
I really like your and Mr Duncan’s approach to the forthcoming election Pat.
The current Republican party is vastly different from pre-Trump and MAGA. Civil discourse and disagreement are extremely rare at present.
The two party system and strong opposition to the governing party is essential in a healthy democracy. I believe third part votes are wasted votes and as Mr Duncan said, the only way for the Republican Party to return to the admirable Conservative Party of pre-Trump years, is for them to be defeated in November. There are a lot of Republican politicians who are younger, and with backbone and integrity, to steer them back to normality.
Thank God that by you doing what you’re doing you been touching a lot of people. The truth is what’s making it’s making it happening l have been praying so that God keep putting his word in your mouth. Thank you Pat🙏👍
Thank you for sharing
Hi Pat. I sent an email to David Pakman suggesting he host you on his show as a way to spread your message to a larger audience. Hope it happens.
Thanks - I like David Pakman! He's one of the progressives that I enjoy learning from.
Excellent idea.I pray he takes you up on your suggestion!
Thanks
That piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is pure gold. Prominately featured, as well! My heart sings when I hear about someone exiting from the dark side! Both of my parents went to their graves diehard Trumphumpers, negative and angry. They raised me in evangelical chri$tianity, so I am now agnostic, naturally. I dig your channel. You're a good egg.
Thank you for common sense….. we were lost ….maybe now we can work together and be found
I truly appreciate your level minded approach.
I find it interesting that people always seem to be touting "lifetime member of a political party". When I first paid attention to politics I had no idea what side I was on. I think I settled on conservative for the most part. Mainly because I consider myself a frugal person. But I always felt voting was about choosing the best "person" for the job. And the best person was generally the one with the best policy at that time. In other words I didn't just vote for the person on "my team" every time.
Politics is a spectrum, and the line between right and left is constantly changing. If you are always voting for one side of the fence that tells me, your ideology is probably slanted a bit to the extreme end. And nowhere do we see that more than in present times.
I prefer the center and I have no problem voting for either team, depending on who comes closest to my center. I don't think there is any question who that would be in 2024.
Yeah, that's where I'm at now. I doubt I'll ever join a political party again. But I do think it's important to let people know where I'm coming from, because otherwise they tend to think I went looking for a reason to think the way I do about Trump. But I hear you.
Perfectly said! 😊👍
I'm old enough to remember when the sensible, maybe even majority position -- almost a cliche -- was "I vote for the best candidate, not based on party." Then Rush Limbaugh got rich hating on "libs, dems, and eco-wackos" and Fox and Rush wannabes jumped on the bandwagon.
@@homofloridensis Truth was held in high regard then. Now it seems truth is what anyone chooses to believe according to their own narrative. It will be our downfall I believe.
Geoff Duncan for President 2028!
Let's focus on saving our democratic republic this year because if Trump regains power, we won't have an election in 2028.
@@calinasagilitypartner4444Agreed. I’m voting Biden 2024. Voting for the candidates opposite MAGA Trumper ones.
Thank you!
Thank you for your true podcast
Trump really did a good job making us demonize each other, didn't he?
Good move, Geoff. Let’s hope the rest of the GOP follows your lead, especially since he now has the RNC paying his legal bills.
Thank you for sharing this with us Pastor Pat! Excellent!! Do you have the link of Geoff Duncan on the Bulwark?
I’m reminded how John McCain and Joe Biden were close friends for many decades even though they had policy differences. Also am old enough to remember Ronald Reagan would have dinner with Tipp O’Neal often after debating policy all day. Sigh… pray we somehow can get back to respecting each other even if we don’t completely agree. Thank you for leading us in this way.
Thanks for the reminder. I added the link to the Bulwark article in the comments now.
@@culturefaithandpolitics thank you! Looking forward to listening to this!
What a great perspective…I did not know that John McCain and Joe Biden were friends as were Ronald Reagan and Tipp O’Neal! The thought of these two relationships warms my heart…thank you! ♥️
@@Lilithhollieyoutube Yes- Biden and McCain were close friends. There’s a You-Tube video of Biden speaking at McCains funeral. It’s very touching.
Twilight Zone: Politician has to sell a car he bought because it forces him to tell the truth.
My conscience will not allow me to vote for the Democratic Party regardless of how good Joe Biden appears to be compared to Donald Trump. Having said that, everything Geoff Duncan has said is spot on, especially about the immigration issue, and working toward compromises in general for the good of the country. Thank you for highlighting his views even though I still believe my vote in the primaries for another person was still the right one.
I met an Army Veteran in my town Republican. He was talking about switching parties due to people have huge arguments why Trump is their guy. He also had a comeback to why he really isn't that great of a candidate. He also went into the Army due to his belief of Freedom of Religion. Who from the beginning didn't like Trump who if you have seen Trump since before he wanted to run his Values are messed up Trump use to give The Clinton foundation money big money at the time. However I told the older Gentleman that he shouldn't switch your party just not a Trump Republican. He was a more old school Republican like Abraham Lincoln was.
Honesty is indeed the answer. Honest politicians will all converge to the truth about what is right regardless of party.
What good does splitting into parties do anyway?
Negative partisanship, I’m going to research that. Thanks 🙏
Off the subject, how would heartbeat bills affect organ donations?
Google "Scientific American: Antiabortion Heartbeat Bills Are neither Morally nor Legally Sound"
This gives the medical and bioethical opinion on this issue.
It is a fake r,indeed
Pastor: I've been reflecting on your posts all week. I've been thinking about what Jesus would say about Trump. I bet he'd say more than simply: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's." What do you think?
Hello, not the person you asked, but had a thought on it. The men who asked Jesus that question were trying to back him into a verbal trap so that they could have the Romans kill him for inciting rebellion. Jesus brilliantly sidestepped the trap with that answer.
Yeah, that's a hard one for me, honestly. On the one hand, it's easy to say he just wouldn't concern himself with the affairs of the world - he has bigger fish to fry. But I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing (at least not from an explicitly Christian perspective) if I didn't think he'd have more to say about it. I think he would call out people who are doing and saying things in his name - at a minimum he would draw a distinction between his message and a false message that powerful people are spreading in his name. At least I hope so - otherwise I'm kind of out on a limb here, because that's pretty much what I'm trying to do.
Regardless of what Jesus would say about Trump, what would you say about Christians who say Trump was chosen by God to Make America Great (again)? A bit of a contradiction I would say.
Even if Biden gets four more yrs, there is no doubt w/everyone that his personal level of morality far outstrips the character of the current GOP contender. We must respect our leader & earn respect of the world as well.
GREAR YOU TUBE VIDEO PAT.
Pastor you know that Trump comes from another planet he never lies and when he’s accused of any wrong doings he always claims innocent. All l know is that he’s getting away with all this crimes, but Jesus is writing all that he’s doing, There he can’t lied.God bless you and don’t stop doing what you’re doing,🙏👍
I can't do it. I'm not voting for Trump for the third time, but I can't vote for Biden. I get the sentiment that Trump "needs" to lose, but ultimately that's voting against someone not FOR someone. I've decided that I won't do that. Either I vote for someone or something or I don't vote. Frankly, they both need to lose. It is apparent that we've come to the point that the duopoly will continue to give us bad candidates if we keep giving them our votes.
You’re voting for Kennedy 😂 Good try 😂
@@joancooney7724 Nope. The two parties (duopoly) are too powerful for anyone else to win, and frankly I don't think it's funny, just sad.
