Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / BIDEN'S GAFFES are becoming a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE that is putting all of OUR LIVES AT RISK!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So we're all kind of used to Joe Biden's gaffs, right,
- 0:04Speaker 1: his screw ups. Now they're becoming things that are not
- 0:09Speaker 1: just embarrassing, but they're actually putting our national security at risk.
- 0:17Speaker 1: The White House has gone into damage control two different
- 0:22Speaker 1: times in the last forty eight hours. First after Joe
- 0:27Speaker 1: Biden called for regime change in Russia, and that speech
- 0:33Speaker 1: we now have been told that was not part of
- 0:36Speaker 1: the prepared speech that he was supposed to get. Then
- 0:40Speaker 1: his other gaff was when he told soldiers that he
- 0:43Speaker 1: was meeting with that they would soon be seeing Ukraine
- 0:48Speaker 1: and witnessing what's happening on the ground there, implying that
- 0:51Speaker 1: we were going to be going into Ukraine, or that
- 0:55Speaker 1: the American troops would soon be in Ukraine. The White
- 0:59Speaker 1: House immediately not once but twice, actually having to go
- 1:03Speaker 1: into damage control on these things. And these aren't just gaffs,
- 1:07Speaker 1: These are actual things that when you say them, the
- 1:11Speaker 1: world could react in a way that is catastrophic. Vladimir
- 1:16Speaker 1: Putin could and could clearly take these words as literal
- 1:20Speaker 1: that we are going to invade right or that we
- 1:24Speaker 1: are going to help undermine and have regime change in Russia,
- 1:30Speaker 1: the White House confirming on Sunday President Joe Biden's call
- 1:35Speaker 1: for regime change again was not part of the prepared speech.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Now a quick reminder, if you're listening to this podcast,
- 1:42Speaker 1: please make sure you hit the subscribe or auto download
- 1:45Speaker 1: button and tell your friends about this podcast, share this
- 1:49Speaker 1: on social media, and if you would write us a
- 1:50Speaker 1: five star review to help us, as Democrats have been
- 1:53Speaker 1: attacking our podcasts recently with bad reviews. Now, the quote
- 1:58Speaker 1: from Biden at the conclusion of his speech referring to
- 2:01Speaker 1: Russian President Vladimir Putin was this, I'm quoting here quote
- 2:07Speaker 1: for God's sakes, this man cannot remain in power. Biden's
- 2:13Speaker 1: little moment there of whatever you want to call it,
- 2:17Speaker 1: being senile, having no clue what he's actually doing, prompted
- 2:22Speaker 1: the administration officials to scramble immediately and walk back the
- 2:27Speaker 1: actual comments of the President United States of America in
- 2:31Speaker 1: an effort to reassure the world that the United States
- 2:35Speaker 1: was not actively calling for regime change in Russia. Even
- 2:38Speaker 1: though Joe Biden's actual words were yes, calling for regime
- 2:44Speaker 1: change in Russia again, his exact quote, for God's sakes,
- 2:48Speaker 1: For God's sake, excuse me, this man cannot remain in
- 2:52Speaker 1: power that is calling for regime change. Now, Biden, We're
- 2:57Speaker 1: being told from insiders after he made those comments, made
- 3:01Speaker 1: national security experts around him basically freak out, scramble and
- 3:08Speaker 1: try to figure out who to talk to at the
- 3:10Speaker 1: White House to reassure Russia and the world that we
- 3:14Speaker 1: were not calling for regime change of Vladimir Putin. News
- 3:20Speaker 1: site Axios cited quote a top official who confirmed the
- 3:25Speaker 1: line was not on Biden's prepared texts or on his teleprompter.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Washington Post cited to quote a person familiar with a
- 3:35Speaker 1: speech you also said Biden's line was not in the
- 3:40Speaker 1: speech and it was not planned. Now, you may want
- 3:45Speaker 1: to remember, during the twenty twenty presidential campaign, Biden repeatedly
- 3:50Speaker 1: campaign on the idea that he would be a better
- 3:55Speaker 1: present than Donald Trump because quote of his understanding of
- 3:58Speaker 1: the gravity of the presidencyat he said, back then, you
- 4:05Speaker 1: know what the president says, and his words, as he
- 4:09Speaker 1: put it, actually matter, right, And they matter because they're
- 4:13Speaker 1: so important. The words of a president matters. They can
- 4:20Speaker 1: move markets, they can send our brave women and men
- 4:24Speaker 1: to war, they can bring peace, they can calm a
- 4:29Speaker 1: nation and turmoil. They can console and confront and comfort
- 4:36Speaker 1: those who have faced tragedy. They can inspire us a
- 4:40Speaker 1: louting to reach for the move. You can notice there
- 4:44Speaker 1: that Joe Biden at the time actually had a better mind.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's the only way I know how to describe it.
- 4:51Speaker 1: He was clearly more in charge of his cognitive functionality.
- 4:57Speaker 1: He only slirred one word, and he understood what he
- 5:02Speaker 1: was actually trying to say. He said that back in
- 5:06Speaker 1: August of twenty nineteen when he was the candidate. Now
- 5:11Speaker 1: let's go to his actual words. Quote. You know all
- 5:16Speaker 1: that the words of a president matters. They can move markets.
- 5:21Speaker 1: He's right. They can send her brave women and men
- 5:24Speaker 1: into war. He's right. They can bring peace. They can
- 5:31Speaker 1: calm a nation in turmoil. Biden, by the way, has
- 5:37Speaker 1: repeatedly made rhetorical errors during his trip to Europe. On Friday,
- 5:42Speaker 1: for example, Joe Biden also suggested American troops were on
- 5:48Speaker 1: their way to Ukraine before the White House had to
- 5:52Speaker 1: scramble yet again in another major national security foreign policy gap.
- 5:57Speaker 1: This is not like, hey guys, it's Tuesday, and the
- 6:00Speaker 1: White House is like, crap, it's Wednesday. You gotta understand
- 6:04Speaker 1: when something like this happens, it's the national security apparatus
- 6:09Speaker 1: that actually has to respond. So so understand that, Okay,
- 6:14Speaker 1: that when the national Security team has to rush to
- 6:17Speaker 1: the White House and rush to those around the present
- 6:21Speaker 1: and say you gotta fix this, and we got to
- 6:23Speaker 1: walk this back. We gotta call somebody, we gotta write somebody,
- 6:25Speaker 1: We got to say something to somebody about quickly so
- 6:28Speaker 1: they don't think that American troops are about to be
- 6:30Speaker 1: in Ukraine. We gotta say something quickly so Vladimir Putin
- 6:34Speaker 1: doesn't start a nuclear war with the United it's America,
- 6:36Speaker 1: because we're implying that we're advocating for regime change. Like
- 6:39Speaker 1: when those things happen, we have to they're running to
- 6:45Speaker 1: try to figure out how to fix it, how to
- 6:47Speaker 1: undo it. Because when you're dealing with a man like
- 6:51Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin right now, who's clearly unstable, when you're dealing
- 6:55Speaker 1: with a man like Vladimir Putin right now that's looking
- 6:58Speaker 1: extremely pair annoyed and angry and talking and threatening nuclear war,
- 7:05Speaker 1: I will go back to quoting Joe Biden. You all
- 7:09Speaker 1: know that the words of a president matter. They can
- 7:12Speaker 1: move markets they can send our brave women and men
- 7:16Speaker 1: into war. They can bring peace, they can culmination and
- 7:20Speaker 1: turmal They can also ratchet things up. They can take
- 7:23Speaker 1: us into a war. Right now is a time when
- 7:27Speaker 1: you don't need misunderstandings, so Biden should know this. He
- 7:33Speaker 1: suggested American troops are on the way to Ukraine before
- 7:35Speaker 1: the White House had again run those comments back. On Thursday,
- 7:40Speaker 1: Biden vowed to respond quote in kind, if Putin decided
- 7:45Speaker 1: to use chemical weapons, meaning that apparently we would use
- 7:48Speaker 1: chemical weapons in response to their chemical weapons. That also
- 7:52Speaker 1: prompted the White House to explain the United States would
- 7:55Speaker 1: not use chemical weapons. Biden, by the way, has not
- 8:00Speaker 1: addressed as controversial off the cuff's statements, even as his
- 8:03Speaker 1: administration is struggling now to figure out how to walk
- 8:05Speaker 1: them all back. Quote, we do not have a strategy
- 8:10Speaker 1: of regime change in Russia or anywhere else, The White
- 8:12Speaker 1: House responded. For that matter, in this case, as in
- 8:16Speaker 1: any case, it's up to the people of the country
- 8:18Speaker 1: in question. It's up to the Russian people, is what
- 8:20Speaker 1: Secretary of State Tony B. Lincoln said at a news
- 8:23Speaker 1: conference in Jerusalem. Because that was the guy they had
- 8:26Speaker 1: to clean it up again for the White House, for
- 8:29Speaker 1: the President, because he had three screw ups in two days,
- 8:35Speaker 1: all of them dealing with war, chemical weapons, and regime
- 8:41Speaker 1: change in Russia. Let that sink in real quick. Really
- 8:48Speaker 1: think about how insane the conversations that we are having
- 8:52Speaker 1: right now. Think about how absurd this really is. Now
- 9:00Speaker 1: the media understands that Joe Biden is really having a
- 9:05Speaker 1: major meltdown, a cognitive decline before all of our eyes.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And now what he's saying is putting our national security
- 9:12Speaker 1: at risk. When you start talking about regime change in Russia,
- 9:15Speaker 1: you start talking about it that if Vladimir Putin uses
- 9:18Speaker 1: chemical weapons that America will respond by using chemical weapons
- 9:22Speaker 1: on them. When you start talking about the regime change,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and then you have to go again walk that back.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And the media is really trying hard to protect the president,
- 9:34Speaker 1: not not this country. I want to make that clear.
- 9:37Speaker 1: He's They're not trying to actually stop war or stop
- 9:41Speaker 1: biological and chemical weapons being used. Note what they're what
- 9:44Speaker 1: they're actually arguing over or trying to do, is to
- 9:47Speaker 1: protect the fact that they've been propping this guy up.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna play for you a quick little montage
- 9:56Speaker 1: of the gaps, and then the White House, you know,
- 10:00Speaker 1: calling on their friends in the media to save them
- 10:04Speaker 1: from their his own words. Listen to this. For God's sake,
- 10:09Speaker 1: this man cannot remain Wow. The White House trying to
- 10:12Speaker 1: make clear in the aftermath, or making very clear the
- 10:14Speaker 1: aftermath he was not, in fact calling for a gene change.
- 10:17Speaker 1: And you're gonna see when you're there, you been there,
- 10:20Speaker 1: You're gonna see. You're gonna see women, young people stand
- 10:23Speaker 1: on the stand in the middle of front of damn tank.
- 10:26Speaker 1: White House officials are telling us that President Biden does
- 10:30Speaker 1: not intend to send US troops into Ukraine. If chemical
- 10:34Speaker 1: weapons were used in Ukraine, would that trigger a military
- 10:38Speaker 1: response from NATO? It would trigger a response in kind.
- 10:42Speaker 1: The United States has no intention of using chemical weapons period,
- 10:45Speaker 1: under any circumstance. What this isn't forty eight hours, folks,
- 10:53Speaker 1: Biden's staff, people that were elected by no one are
- 10:59Speaker 1: having to come out and speak on behalf of Joe Biden,
- 11:03Speaker 1: and Joe Biden's the guy that actually right is the president. Now,
- 11:07Speaker 1: I want you to think about how problematic this is
- 11:10Speaker 1: in general, how scary this is in general. You know,
- 11:14Speaker 1: is again I go back to quoting Joe Biden. The
- 11:17Speaker 1: presence words matter, right, they can stop wars, start wars,
- 11:21Speaker 1: they can cause the markets to react. And what we're
- 11:24Speaker 1: witnessing right now is the president United States of America
- 11:28Speaker 1: that obviously his words seem to not matter, and it
- 11:32Speaker 1: seems that the staff around him, who is elected by
- 11:35Speaker 1: no one, are having to actually give the American people
- 11:40Speaker 1: in the world our policies and our foreign policies. That's
- 11:44Speaker 1: not normal, It's incredibly dangerous. People also need to understand that, like,
- 11:52Speaker 1: this is unbelievably dangerous. What you're witnessing. This is not
- 11:59Speaker 1: something that from a national security standpoint, should be tolerated. Now,
- 12:05Speaker 1: I think everybody knows, and you can see it, you
- 12:07Speaker 1: can witness it, you can watch it. There is a
- 12:09Speaker 1: cognitive decline of the president of the United States of
- 12:11Speaker 1: America to a point now that I do worry about
- 12:14Speaker 1: our national security. Remember how people used to freak out
- 12:18Speaker 1: about Donald Trump and they tried to undermine him by
- 12:20Speaker 1: saying that Donald Trump was a radic even though he's
- 12:22Speaker 1: actually a president that didn't get us into any wars.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Remember when they kept saying over and over again he
- 12:26Speaker 1: was unhinged, when he clearly was never unhinged. Remember that,
- 12:30Speaker 1: Remember when they said this guy's gonna start war War
- 12:32Speaker 1: three when he actually didn't start even a little scuffle
- 12:35Speaker 1: with anyone. Right, I mean, every other president of my
- 12:38Speaker 1: lifetime has actually gotten us into wars. That's a fact.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Every president since I have been born has gotten us
- 12:44Speaker 1: into a war except for Donald Trump. And now you
- 12:51Speaker 1: have Joe Biden. You ask yourself this question, who is
- 12:55Speaker 1: actually running this country? Because it's not Joe Biden, And
- 13:03Speaker 1: I would make the argument that it's also not the
- 13:05Speaker 1: Vice president. I don't think Kamala Harris is running this country.
- 13:10Speaker 1: But when you have speech writers that are writing this
- 13:12Speaker 1: man's speeches and they're making sure that his speeches are
- 13:16Speaker 1: are almost child proof, full proof, like they're doing everything
- 13:22Speaker 1: they can to make sure that they are child proof.
- 13:24Speaker 1: They're making it, they're making sure in every way possible
- 13:29Speaker 1: that there's no screw ups. And he goes off and says,
- 13:32Speaker 1: these things we're in twenty four hours and they're not
- 13:34Speaker 1: little gaps like this. This is an embarrassment. This is
- 13:37Speaker 1: a national security problem. I got a phone call from
- 13:43Speaker 1: a friend of mine that works in the State Department,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and I was talking to him on Sunday, and I
- 13:49Speaker 1: asked him, I said, how concerned are the people right
- 13:54Speaker 1: now around this present? They said extremely concerned, because he
- 13:59Speaker 1: can go out and change America's foreign policy or cause
- 14:03Speaker 1: a major reaction with chemical, biological nuclear weapons. Make no mistake,
- 14:10Speaker 1: the President knights its America called for regime change. The
- 14:13Speaker 1: people that are unelected around him said just kidding. That
- 14:17Speaker 1: was not in the prepared speech, and he said it
- 14:20Speaker 1: every one of the He told American troops you were
- 14:23Speaker 1: soon going to be in Ukraine, and people that are
- 14:26Speaker 1: elected by no one, right, people that are elected by
- 14:30Speaker 1: no one had to come out and clean it up again.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Go back, I'll play the gaffs again. For God's sake,
- 14:38Speaker 1: this man cannot remain. That is regime change. That is
- 14:42Speaker 1: calling for regime change from the President knights its America.
- 14:46Speaker 1: That's how he ended his speech. Now, when presidents say
- 14:51Speaker 1: something like this, I think the world should also be
- 14:54Speaker 1: able to look at the president when they say something.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Doesn't take it, take them at their word. I go
- 15:01Speaker 1: back to Ronald Reagan. There was a massive debate. Everyone
- 15:04Speaker 1: around Ronald Reagan told him not to say tear down
- 15:08Speaker 1: this wall, and it was taken out of the speech,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and Ronald Reagan decided to put it back in. He
- 15:19Speaker 1: didn't tell anybody he meant it. Did the White House
- 15:22Speaker 1: walk it back after he said it, saying, just kidding,
- 15:24Speaker 1: he doesn't mean tear down the wall. No, because he
- 15:26Speaker 1: meant it. Now, he decided to say that as the
- 15:28Speaker 1: president of the United States of America at the time.
- 15:32Speaker 1: He made the decision to say it because he believed
- 15:34Speaker 1: it at the time when he said it, right, that's
- 15:38Speaker 1: what he decided was important to say at the time,
- 15:42Speaker 1: and it did change history. That's why it's so famous.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Tear down this wall is a major moment in our history.
- 15:51Speaker 1: I love that. But when you start saying words like that,
- 15:56Speaker 1: you better believe them, and you better stand behind them.
- 15:58Speaker 1: And you shouldn't have anybody to run and undermine every
- 16:01Speaker 1: aspect of it, every part of it. You shouldn't have
- 16:04Speaker 1: to have people come running to you going well, running
- 16:06Speaker 1: to the cameras right afterwards and saying he didn't mean that,
- 16:09Speaker 1: He didn't mean that, He didn't mean that. The President
- 16:13Speaker 1: didn't mean it. I promise he didn't mean it. Well,
- 16:14Speaker 1: why'd he say it? Well, we're on doing it right now.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Can you imagine what every world leader thinks when they
- 16:20Speaker 1: hear the president say things like this, and then they
- 16:22Speaker 1: have to see the White House undo it. Right, and
- 16:24Speaker 1: again here's the undoing the White House trying to make
- 16:27Speaker 1: clear in the aftermath, were making very clear in the
- 16:29Speaker 1: aftermath he was not, in fact calling for a game change.
- 16:31Speaker 1: And you're gonna see when you're there, and some of
- 16:33Speaker 1: you have been there, you're gonna see. You're gonna see women,
- 16:37Speaker 1: young people standing stand in the middle of front of
- 16:40Speaker 1: damn tank Waite House. Again, he's talking to men and
- 16:44Speaker 1: women in uniform. You're gonna see it when you're there.
- 16:46Speaker 1: You're going to see these people standing in front of
- 16:49Speaker 1: the tanks. Now, clearly, when he says that, you're wondering,
- 16:52Speaker 1: is he talking about other things that had been in history.
- 16:55Speaker 1: You know, there's some famous pictures from a long time ago, right,
- 16:59Speaker 1: I mean there's from famous pictures from a long time
- 17:01Speaker 1: ago in countries they are not Ukraine, of people standing
- 17:04Speaker 1: in front of tanks, and you have to assume maybe
- 17:08Speaker 1: that's what he's talking about, because we haven't seen anybody
- 17:11Speaker 1: sitting in front of tanks in the last several days
- 17:13Speaker 1: because things have gotten so bad in Ukraine. So you
- 17:16Speaker 1: wonder is he talking about early on in Ukraine when
- 17:18Speaker 1: this happened. Is he over a month behind in this conversation,
- 17:22Speaker 1: or is he talking about totally different parts of the
- 17:26Speaker 1: world from decades ago. All of us have seen the
- 17:31Speaker 1: famous video from decades ago of a brave human being
- 17:36Speaker 1: standing in front of a tank. Is that what he's
- 17:40Speaker 1: talking about? Is that how far out he is in
- 17:43Speaker 1: a left field? And then again the White House runs
- 17:47Speaker 1: out Peter Doocey from Fox having to tell the world
- 17:49Speaker 1: just kidding, he didn't mean that either. US officials are
- 17:52Speaker 1: telling us that President Biden does not intend to send
- 17:56Speaker 1: you US troops into Ukraine. If chemical weapons were used
- 18:00Speaker 1: in Ukraine, would that trigger a military response from NATO?
- 18:04Speaker 1: It would trigger a response in kind, It would trigger
- 18:07Speaker 1: a response in kind. Do you understand that we have
- 18:10Speaker 1: a policy to not use chemical weapons and the President
- 18:13Speaker 1: just said we're gonna use chemical weapons. So what does
- 18:16Speaker 1: he say in response to that? Right, Well, we're gonna change.
- 18:19Speaker 1: It's fine, everything's good, don't worry, it's all fine, right,
- 18:23Speaker 1: the White House, he didn't mean that either, we promise
- 18:25Speaker 1: he didn't mean it. And this is the president of
- 18:28Speaker 1: the United States of America. The biggest question that I
- 18:32Speaker 1: have after these Biden gaffs, all of them dealing with
- 18:36Speaker 1: chemical weapons, biological weapons, nuclear war, regime change, and sending
- 18:42Speaker 1: American troops into Ukraine, all things that the White House
- 18:45Speaker 1: has had to walk back, is who's running the country.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I want to know it's obviously not Joe Biden, because
- 18:57Speaker 1: Joe Biden would be walking back his own words. Right
- 19:01Speaker 1: who is running the country. There's new reports out that
- 19:10Speaker 1: deal with Joe Biden, and you gotta wonder who did this.
- 19:15Speaker 1: President Joe Biden's administration has quote eliminated United States tariffs
- 19:19Speaker 1: on more than three hundred and fifty products made in China,
- 19:22Speaker 1: nearly all of which could be made in the US
- 19:25Speaker 1: or other countries. Who did that? Because I don't believe
- 19:29Speaker 1: it's the President of the United States of America. And
- 19:31Speaker 1: this is significant while China is doing what they're doing
- 19:33Speaker 1: with Beijing. The Section three h two tariffs on billions
- 19:38Speaker 1: of dollars with the China made products were first imposed
- 19:40Speaker 1: by Donald Trump after a decade long free trade consensus
- 19:45Speaker 1: in Washington, DC that has eliminated three point seven million
- 19:49Speaker 1: American jobs in the US economy. Between twenty one twenty eighteen. Now,
- 19:53Speaker 1: let's talk about the jobs real quickly. When Donald Trump
- 19:57Speaker 1: did these tariffs, he did it for a couple of reasons,
- 20:00Speaker 1: a couple of different reasons. One because China was just
- 20:03Speaker 1: ripping off everything that we did in this country and
- 20:07Speaker 1: they were stealing our technology and hacking it and spying
- 20:10Speaker 1: on us. We're opening espionage cases every twelve hours, is
- 20:14Speaker 1: what the FBI director said, under Joe Biden's leadership, Every
- 20:18Speaker 1: twelve hours, we're open up a new Chinese espionage case
- 20:21Speaker 1: in America. The amount of spying, the amount of hacking
- 20:25Speaker 1: that China is doing is unheard of, and we can't
- 20:29Speaker 1: keep up with all because they're killing us with technology
- 20:31Speaker 1: and we're just don't have that technology, Like we're literally
- 20:34Speaker 1: not good enough to keep up with it. Apparently, so
- 20:37Speaker 1: the President of the United States American non Trump at
- 20:39Speaker 1: the time, realized what was happening with China and realized
- 20:42Speaker 1: that not only were they stealing our technology, but then
- 20:44Speaker 1: they were producing the stuff that we were supposed to
- 20:46Speaker 1: be producing. It was undermining us as a country, and
- 20:48Speaker 1: we need to get back some of our independence, and
- 20:50Speaker 1: so he decided to start putting tariffs on there. This
- 20:53Speaker 1: was also in response to Taiwan, but it was in
- 20:57Speaker 1: response very much to the way that China was taking
- 21:00Speaker 1: advantage of the United States of America. He also understood
- 21:03Speaker 1: that we needed to do a better job in this country.
- 21:08Speaker 1: The Economic Policy Institute at the time wrote about this.
- 21:12Speaker 1: The US trade deficit hits record high right now. The
- 21:16Speaker 1: Biden administration must prioritize rebuilding domestic manufacturing, is what they
- 21:21Speaker 1: said February twenty twenty one, saying that the US Census
- 21:26Speaker 1: Bureau reported recently the US goods trade deficit reached a
- 21:29Speaker 1: record nine hundred and fifteen point eight billion in twenty twenty,
- 21:34Speaker 1: an increase of fifty one point five billion six percent.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The broader goods and services deficit reached six hundred and
- 21:41Speaker 1: seventy eight billion in twenty twenty, increase of one hundred
- 21:44Speaker 1: and one billion. The US goods trade deficit in twenty
- 21:48Speaker 1: twenty was the largest on record, and the goods and
- 21:50Speaker 1: services deficit was the largest since eight The rapid growth
- 21:54Speaker 1: of the US trade deficit reflects combined fx of the
- 21:58Speaker 1: COVID nineteen crisis, which caused US exports to fall by
- 22:02Speaker 1: more than two hundred and seventeen billion than imports one
- 22:05Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six billion, and by the persistent failure
- 22:08Speaker 1: of US trade and exchange rate policies over the past
- 22:11Speaker 1: two decades because of currency manipulation in China. One of
- 22:14Speaker 1: the reasons also why Donald Trump responded the way he did.
- 22:19Speaker 1: The single most important cause of large and growing trade
- 22:23Speaker 1: deficits is persistent over evaluation of the US dollar quote,
- 22:27Speaker 1: which makes imports artificially cheap and US exports less competitive.
- 22:33Speaker 1: We knew that China was a currency manipulating nation. So
- 22:38Speaker 1: now go back to Biden for a second. Right, there's
- 22:41Speaker 1: kind of the groundwork of this last week. No one
- 22:46Speaker 1: knew this was coming by the way Biden's US trade representative,
- 22:50Speaker 1: Catherine Tie announced it. After an extensive review process on
- 22:54Speaker 1: nearly five hundred and fifty China made products subject to
- 22:57Speaker 1: US tariffs, the Administration would eliminate tariffs on three hundred
- 23:00Speaker 1: and fifty two of those products. Now, this is while
- 23:05Speaker 1: the presents making all these gaps. This is why Ukraine's
- 23:07Speaker 1: going on, this is why the President's overseas, and they
- 23:09Speaker 1: just decided to announce this all of a sudden, out
- 23:11Speaker 1: of nowhere. The China made products will escape US tarifs,
- 23:16Speaker 1: saying to Biden. Include, these are just some of the
- 23:19Speaker 1: things they said. This is the reason why you should
- 23:21Speaker 1: be excited about it, because they say it's like a
- 23:23Speaker 1: humanitarian thing. This is the propaganda again coming from the
- 23:25Speaker 1: Biden administration. Breastpumps, they said, see, so why would you
- 23:29Speaker 1: want to tear if on a breastpump? Right, it's gonna
- 23:32Speaker 1: say the children. Solar water heaters, garage store openers, X
- 23:36Speaker 1: ray tables, and thermostats, as well as food products from
- 23:39Speaker 1: China such as crab meat. Once again, multinational importers and
- 23:46Speaker 1: their army of Washington lobbyists have protected their ability to
- 23:49Speaker 1: import cheap Chinese goods over sourcing from American manufacturers. That's
- 23:54Speaker 1: the chairman of the Coalition for a Prosperous America said
- 23:57Speaker 1: in a statement, we are disappointed that the Biden administration
- 24:01Speaker 1: grant exclusions to three hundred and one tariffs on many
- 24:04Speaker 1: Chinese products that have alternatives that are made or could
- 24:07Speaker 1: be made right here in the United States of America
- 24:10Speaker 1: or are made outside of China. He went on to say,
- 24:14Speaker 1: as China supports and enables Russia's aggression against Ukraine, we
- 24:19Speaker 1: should be holding them accountable rather than providing their company's
- 24:25Speaker 1: revenue from US consumers. He went on to say, we'll
- 24:29Speaker 1: continue to fight against those in Congress who want to
- 24:32Speaker 1: use taxpayer dollars to refund importers that profit off of
- 24:36Speaker 1: cheap Chinese goods, as well as efforts to weaken the
- 24:40Speaker 1: three hundred one tariffs despite China's continue ip theft, rampant
- 24:45Speaker 1: government subsidization, use of force labor, and violations of Phase
- 24:50Speaker 1: one trade deal, including human rights abuses. Last month, by
- 24:57Speaker 1: the way, a group of one hundred and forty House
- 24:59Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats had been lobbying Biden to cut US
- 25:02Speaker 1: tariffs on China made products. The signatories included House Minority
- 25:07Speaker 1: Leader Ken McCarthy, as well as Representatives Kathy mc morris,
- 25:11Speaker 1: Rodgers Burgess Owens, Ken Buck, Young Kim, and Anthony Gonzalez,
- 25:18Speaker 1: all Republicans from quote swing states. There's also been little
- 25:26Speaker 1: to no evidence the US tariffs on China has raised
- 25:29Speaker 1: consumer costs for Americans. In fact, to study found that
- 25:34Speaker 1: permanent US tariffs at twenty five percent on all Chinese
- 25:37Speaker 1: imports would create more than a million American jobs instantly
- 25:42Speaker 1: and keep those jobs for at least five years. Now
- 25:48Speaker 1: you back up for a second, and you say, Okay,
- 25:49Speaker 1: what does this actually mean. It means at a time
- 25:52Speaker 1: when we should be holding China accountable, we just gave
- 25:55Speaker 1: them a huge gift. Why did this administration do that?
- 26:00Speaker 1: You have to wonder if it is because China literally
- 26:04Speaker 1: owns this administration. You have to wonder, is it because
- 26:08Speaker 1: China owns this administration in a way that we had
- 26:11Speaker 1: no idea because of Hunter Biden? Is it because they
- 26:15Speaker 1: understand and billions of dollars were flowing in loans and
- 26:19Speaker 1: other guarantees to the Biden crime family. I would argue
- 26:25Speaker 1: at this point, absolutely there has to be something. There's
- 26:31Speaker 1: something that they're holding over and I don't know exactly
- 26:35Speaker 1: how to explain it at this point because it's hard
- 26:37Speaker 1: to understand why that they're doing, why they're so hell
- 26:40Speaker 1: bent right now with what's happening in the world, and
- 26:42Speaker 1: certainly right now, you've got to understand, China is the
- 26:45Speaker 1: best friend of Russia. Right now, we have pushed China
- 26:50Speaker 1: and Russia into a very unique situation. We have pushed
- 26:55Speaker 1: China and Russia into becoming allies. Many referred to it
- 27:01Speaker 1: as unnatural allies. They're usually not connected. Russia is asking
- 27:07Speaker 1: China for help, support, funding, and weapon weary right now
- 27:11Speaker 1: because of what they're doing in the world, and so
- 27:13Speaker 1: we decided it's a good idea to now do this
- 27:15Speaker 1: with Russia. Are you kidding me? We decided to do
- 27:19Speaker 1: this with China. Well, this is happening with Russia. So
- 27:23Speaker 1: I don't believe that the president nine States of America
- 27:25Speaker 1: has actually running the country right now. What I do
- 27:28Speaker 1: believe is is that the president of the United States
- 27:30Speaker 1: of America is barely more than a figurehead who can't
- 27:37Speaker 1: even stay on the script he's given. And when he
- 27:39Speaker 1: does say something outside the script, it easily could call
- 27:43Speaker 1: is not just an international incident, but an all out
- 27:45Speaker 1: World War three? Isn't it ironic? Isn't it ironic if
- 27:53Speaker 1: you really think about it, Folks that the left and
- 27:56Speaker 1: the media, we're screaming that Donald Trump can be trusted.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Donald Trump's going to commit war or create War three,
- 28:03Speaker 1: or start War three. Donald Trump is going to send
- 28:06Speaker 1: our men and women to die. Donald Trump, remember, shouldn't
- 28:09Speaker 1: even have the codes to the nuclear codes. Donald Trump
- 28:14Speaker 1: is paranoid, unhinged, He's to range. Then there are even
- 28:17Speaker 1: conversations the media about, well, are there people that can
- 28:20Speaker 1: protect the president from destroying the world. All of these
- 28:24Speaker 1: are things in real conversations that were that took place.
- 28:27Speaker 1: And yet he's the guy that didn't start a war.
- 28:31Speaker 1: He's the only president in my lifetime that hasn't started
- 28:34Speaker 1: a war. Think about it. And now this guy in
- 28:41Speaker 1: twenty four or forty eight hours creates all this. Oh yeah, well,
- 28:44Speaker 1: in kind they use chemical weapons, we'll start using chemical weapons. No,
- 28:48Speaker 1: we're not. I'm in favor of regime change, he says,
- 28:53Speaker 1: if Ladi reput No, no no, just kidding. No, we're not.
- 28:56Speaker 1: We're not. We're not in favor of that. Are bad?
- 28:59Speaker 1: Sorry about that? All of these different gaps. We're gonna
- 29:04Speaker 1: telling American troops you're gonna be in Ukraine soon. You're
- 29:10Speaker 1: gonna see people standing in front of tanks in Ukraine.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I've been there. You're gonna be there soon, he tells
- 29:15Speaker 1: American soldiers. I don't trust this president to even know
- 29:22Speaker 1: what's going on. And my question is who is really
- 29:25Speaker 1: running this government, because it's clearly not Joe Biden. All right, lastly,
