#73 Politics with Ken Part 2
About this video
McPhee and a co-host discuss contemporary political topics including Attorney General Barr’s handling of investigations, the politicization of social justice movements, performance-based hiring versus diversity initiatives, economic policy, and predictions for the 2020 presidential election. They critique what they view as media bias, double standards in political coverage, and argue for merit-based systems across government and business.
Key takeaways
- McPhee argues that media bias and double standards distort public perception of political figures, citing examples of how similar actions by different administrations receive different coverage
- McPhee contends that performance-based hiring and merit systems are more effective than diversity quotas, using examples from military service, professional sports, and corporate sectors
- McPhee believes the U.S. must prioritize domestic economic strength and manufacturing independence rather than relying on global supply chains, and argues ‘America First’ policies strengthen the nation’s ability to help allies
- McPhee predicts Trump will win re-election by a significant margin, arguing that 2020 polling underestimates his support as occurred in 2016, and that the Democratic Party has shifted too far left of mainstream voters
