BIDEN IS AN IDIOT FOR PAYING AMERICANS MORE MONEY TO NOT WORK THAN GETTING A JOB! THIS WILL DESTROY AMERICA! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So it was a disaster. That's the only way you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: can put it. The jobs report was a disaster and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it needs to be covered by the media, and they're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: not doing their job. Shocker, Joe Biden misses his goal
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of two million jobs created in his first hundred days.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Remember that was part of the big plan to save
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: America from the disaster that was left by Donald Trump.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: That's how the media also reported it. The White House
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: prepared to celebrate a job gained milestone of two million
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on Friday under Joe Biden during his first hundred days,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: but those plans were shattered by what those in the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: business called a devastating jobs report for April. It was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: so bad that when the job report numbers came out,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: CNBC actually paused on live TV to double check the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: number because they couldn't believe they were that bad. Now,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this all came out and the White House staffers, this
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is coming from punch Bowl News reported that these senior
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: White House staffers were watching the job's estimates of creating
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand jobs. Eager to promote the record number
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of jobs created during Biden's first hundred days. They were
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: ready to go. This was part of the you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: propaganda of this White House. Look how great we are,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Look what we've done, Look how much better we are
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: than the other guy. If the US economy add seven
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand jobs in the latest report, that will be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: two hundred million, or excuse me, two million new jobs
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the first hundred days of the new administration, the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: report read, Joe Biden would be the first president to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: reach two million jobs in that time period. Obviously, that number,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: many would argue, is easy to get to because you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: had a pandemic that put people out of work, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: with us getting the pandemic a little bit more under
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: control than the numbers should in fact be skyrocketing. That's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: why they were prepping for two million jobs to be
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: made in the first hundred days, because it was supposed
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to be that easy. You don't know how easy the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: White House thought it was going to be. To promote this,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the White House had already scheduled an eleven thirty am
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: event for the present to delivery marks on the job's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: report before leaving Washington, DC for the weekend. At his
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: home in Delaware. He was going to celebrate the gigantic
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: milestone by his administration. Biden and Vice President Harris were
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: also scheduled for an economic briefing and a meeting with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: his job's cabinet Friday afternoon to grandstand. Press Secretary Jensaki
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was scheduled to do a press briefing, and she decided, well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: let's just make sure we really own this thing. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: she was going to bring in the Treasury Secretary Jennet Yellen,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: presumably to trumpet the great economic news. The only problem
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is it didn't happen. The job's number reports showed that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: unemployment actually went up, not down. Yeah, they went the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: opposite direction of what they were expecting. It didn't even
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: say stagnant. It actually got worse, and the unemployment rate
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: actually ticked up to six point one percent. Instead of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand jobs being added, only two hundred and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sixty six thousand jobs were created in April. Here's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other kick in the pants. Previous job gains were also
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: revised downward, which made things even worse. Now. The day
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: before all this came out, and this is bad news
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for this country. I want to make that clear. This
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is bigger than Joe Biden, is bigger than Kamala Harris.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But on Thursday, Joe Biden boasted of his record in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: creating jobs with anticipation of those future gains. Quote, one
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of the things that I'm proud of is in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: first hundred days that I became president, we have created
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: more jobs in that period of time than any administration history,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: proudly said an event in Louisiana the day before White
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: House Chief's Staff suggested Friday. The jobs reportedly bolstered the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: notion that there was too much spending and the coronavirus
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: release package after we retweeted analysis from others talking about
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this exact issue. This is why we were right to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be skeptical about the number crunchers who said the relief
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: bill was way too much spending. That is now how
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the White House Chiefs Staff wanted to flip this thing. See,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we did spend enough money. You're welcome. You should think
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: us because we spent so much money. Clearly we needed
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to spend the money. That's what they're saying. That's how
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they're going to spend this. In fact, they're now saying
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we need to spend even more money. That's how they're
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: going to spend this. That's right. The week jobs report
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: has now spurred fresh arguments over the big FED spending,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: saying we need more of it. Joe Biden, right, or
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you got a crisis. Now, you got the numbers that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: weren't even close to what they thought. You got the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: other numbers that revised downward, you got unemployment that ticked
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up to six point one percent, and President Joe Biden
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is now insisting on a idea we need to spend
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: more money. That's right. He insists on an unexpected slowdown
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and companies hiring, is they say, clear proof that the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: US needs a multi trillion dollar federal boost. He's pushing, Yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we need to spend more money to get us out
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of a sagnant job market. That's how they're spinning this. Now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the reality of why all of what
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned is actually happening. The reason why it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: all happening is very simple. We have de incentivize people
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to go to work. You can make more money. Say
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it again, you can make more money. Many Americans can
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: make more money now sitting at home and doing nothing
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but waiting on government aid then they make if they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: go to work. If you want to know why the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: job market became so stagnant, why the job market became
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: so stagnant. You have millions of Americans through at a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: party and they're insane, and a tea that have said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: stay home, will send you money, Stay home and will
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: give you cash, Stay home and will take care of you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: This is how you get people dependent on you the government.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: This is how you implement socialism. This is how it's done.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. And there are people that are refusing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to go to work. You cannot find people to work
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: for you right now. It is embarrassing. You literally cannot
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: find people to actually work for you right now. There
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: are restaurants that are begging for people to come work
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: for them. There are chain restaurants that are putting up
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: signs on the front of their buildings and saying on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: those signs, we are sorry that your service is going
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to be subpar, but we can't find anybody to come
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to work because they're all sitting at home getting government money.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: If Joe Biden wants to fix this economy, then it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: needs to cut off the free money, which is what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they call it, and it's not free, okay. They need
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to cut off the cash. That's what they do need
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to do. They need to cut off the cash that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is incentivizing people to actually stay home. That is what
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: needs to happen. This number is going to keep going up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to keep going up until they de incentivize
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: people from being stupid. And you have a bunch of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: stupid people in Washington, DC right now, a bunch of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: incompetent idiots that don't understand the reason why people aren't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: going back to work is actually because of them. You
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: are paying people more to sit at home than you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: actually do when they go to work. What did you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: think was going to happen? You want to know how
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to fix this problem. It's not by spending trillions of dollars,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which is how the White House is now spending this.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The White House is actually now saying, well, because we
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: had a bad jobs report, this is proof a that
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the stimulus package was worth it. Right, Imagine how bad
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it would have been if we didn't spend trillions of dollars. Now,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: let's not forget in the coronavirus stimulus package, less than
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: nine cents of every dollar went to anything to deal
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with COVID, so ninety one cents of every dollar went
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to other crap. And now they're using bad job numbers
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to justify they're spending spree, and now they're saying we
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: need to spend trillions more. You wouldn't know how you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: actually fix this problem. It's a very very simple answer.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: You stop paying people to not work. Businesses across America
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: are having a hard time fighting work finding workers. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: should say, because people are being paid. You're competing with
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a wage from the United States government, which shouldn't be there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Brian Bremberg was on Fox Business this week. Brian is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a guy that was reacting. He's King College business professor,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: reacting to Montana refusing extra federal jobless payments. That's right. Instead,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Montana is offering one thousand, two hundred dollars back to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: work bonuses to get people back to work so he'll
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: stop being a drain on the system. Take a listen, Well,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you just got to stop paying him not to work.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's what Montana is finding. I mean, they've got twenty
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: five thousand unemployed people. They've got fourteen thousand open jobs. Stewart.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: If you have open jobs, a question is why aren't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: people taken. I mean one of the reasons is because
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: we're paying people extra not to work. And it's not
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: just Montana it's across the country. I mean business after business.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Forty percent of businesses, Stewart say the hardest thing they're
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: dealing with right now is finding people to take open jobs.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: In the restaurant industry, one and four restaurants are saying,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: my biggest problem is I can't recruit anyone to work,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: so stop paying people to not work. You can solve
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that problem really quickly, but the end result is high wages.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue against that, are you No.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I mean this is businesses do have to bid up
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: their wages to get workers, but they shouldn't be bidding
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: against the federal government who's handing out expanded unemployment benefits.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's not fair. Businesses should have to compete against each other,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: not the government. The problem is we're in this situation
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: right now where businesses feel like they're competing against the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: federal government, a federal government who talks about being pro
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: worker and pro business, and yet it's directly competing with
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: those businesses who need those workers. Stewart, this is not
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: really even economics, it's just common sense. I love how
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he puts up. By the way, this isn't even economics,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this is common sense. And he's right. The US government
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: should not be in competition with the private sector for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: who's going to pay you more When it comes to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you sitting at home, He's like, this is this is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: this is very simple. Okay, this is not hard. This
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is extremely simple. That's that's all. It is extremely simple.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: This is math. You pay somebody to stay home, what
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: are they gonna do? They're gonna stay home, right, You
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: pay somebody to not work and they make more money
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: than if they went to work. They're not going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: get up and go to that job. This is extremely simple.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The math is simple. It makes sense. But part of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this is the Democratic Party. I want to also make
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that very clear. Part of this is the Democratic Party plan.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: You need a certain number of people totally and utterly
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: dependent on you. You need people that cannot survive without you.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Why do you think the government's doing what they're doing
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: right now? This is why they're doing it this way
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: on purpose. We give you money, you stay at home.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: We give you money, and you support us. Right, you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: support what we tell you you have to do. You
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: support us as we explain to you what you need
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to do. We'll tell you how to live your life.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And if you listen to us while we tell you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: how to live your life, then we will give you
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: more money. Vote for us and we'll give you more money.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a while now. This goes
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: back to one simple issue. You remember the lady who
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: became famous when Barack Obama was up for reelection when
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: she said vote you know, Romney sucks bad. And the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: reason why is because Romney. Remember Mitt Romney was not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: going to give you a free cell phone. Remember that
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Mitt Romney was not going to give you a cell phone. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Mitt Romney wouldn't get of your three minutes. And she said,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: if I vote for Obama, he's gonna do more, He's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gonna give me more. I'm gonna get Obama phone and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get more. Why do you think he Why
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do you think he said it that way? This is why.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: This is exactly why they said it this way. It's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: very it makes sense, right, this is not this is
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not hard to figure out, and they realize, Wow, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: more stuff you give people, the more likely they're to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: vote for you. And then if they become dependent on
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you for their livelihood, for their check, they may never leave.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And if you're just taking money from other hard working Americans,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and you're making it while doing it, making the people
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that don't like you weaker in the process. Then this
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: is a brilliant political strategy. I would also argue it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: an American but it's brilliant. It is absolutely brilliant. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: if you really want to stop this, if you really
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: want to fix the labor's shortage, solution it is to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: stop paying people to not work. That's how simple this
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: actually is. There was an article back in twenty twenty
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: by Reason magazine, Reason dot Com Congress is paying people.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: This is back in sept August September issue twenty twenty.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Quote how are the headline? Congress is paying people a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: lot of money to not work. Though the unemployment insurance
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: benefit boost ease the immediate pain of shuddering much of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the economy, it made it harder to get things moving again.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: This was back in August of last year. Perhaps as simple,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it's the most important lesson in economics is this In
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: sentims matter. If your tax and activity, you make it
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: more expensive and get less of it. If you subsidize
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: an activity, you make it more lucrative and get more
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: of it. It stands to reason then, that if you
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: respond to a pandemic by offering people more money to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: stay unemployed than their former employers can afford to pay them,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you'll make it less likely that people return to those jobs,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: causing long run disruptions of the labor force and worsening
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen's impact on the economy. This was written in
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: August of twenty twenty. Roughly speaking, that's what's happening with
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the cares at two point two trillion relief package passed
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in March. It's part of the congressional response of coronavirus.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Among those, the largest benefits was a four month federal
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: boost to unemployment insurance benefits, adding six hundred a week
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: on top of whatever amount state programs already paid out.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: In a typical state, where unemployed benefits often pay around
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: three hundred a week, that meant furloughed and unemployed workers
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: could collect nine hundred a week, more than a thousand
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: dollars a week if you live in California, and they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: wonder why people aren't going back to work. The US
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: hiring boom quote crashed into a wall in April, with
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: employers adding just two hundred and sixty six thousand jobs.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That's not a good number, sharply missing wall streets expectations.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Amit a growing shortage of available workers. People assume that
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: right with so many people desperate to hire people right now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that you would have a massive amount of job growth.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That's why the Biden administration was planning on a big
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: celebration of two million jobs created in the first hundred
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: days in office by Joe Biden. We know this is
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the case. The Biden administration, of course, will never admit
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it now. And this all goes back to the fact
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that Americans are getting more money for not working they
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: would if they accepted a new job. There is currently
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: no incentive to go back to work because the Biden
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: administration refuses to fix the problem which they could fix.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had a comment on this today.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Take a listen. We've been so generous with our plus
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: ups to unemployment insurance and the checks that we've been
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: sending everybody that a great many can tuck INDs and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Americans look at the situation and find their better off
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: financially to stay home rather then go back to work.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So we have inflationary issues, and we have difficulty in
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: getting people to do the work to meet the new demand.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: He's right. Even the White House trying to change this
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: spin it the right way, Joe Biden saying, oh, well,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: we're still a way ahead of where I thought we
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: were going to be. I want to put today's jobs
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: report in perspective, and look, we came to offer. We
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: knew we were facing a once in a century pandemic
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and a once in a generation economic crisis. And we
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: knew this wouldn't be a sprint, it'd be a marathon.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Quite frankly, we're moving more rapidly than I thought we would.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: This morning we learned that our economy created two hundred
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and sixty six thousand jobs in April. Hadn't been adjusted
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: again yet, but that's what it says two sixty six.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And listening to commentators today as I was getting dressed,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you might think that we should be disappointed. But when
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we passed the American rescue plan, but I love this.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I love that, he laughed. You guys were planning victory laps.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Your team was waiting for the numbers to come out
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and for the numbers to be good, and you guys
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: were going to do a massive press announcement, a massive
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: amount of press saying, look, how amazing things are, Look
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: how great things are. That's what you guys were planning
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: on doing. So don't act like we're the only ones
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that are disappointed here. You guys basically now like, oh crap,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: what do we do? And you're trying to figure out
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: how to spin it that. That's the whole party here.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And I love how you're like, well, what I was
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: getting dressed? Ha ha ha. They were they disappointed ha ha.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And listening to commentators today as I was getting dressed,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you might think that we should be disappointed. But when
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we passed the American Rescue Plan, I want to remind
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: anybody was designed to help us over the course of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a year, not sixty days a year. We never thought
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that after the first fifty or sixty days everything would
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: be fine. Today, there's more evidence that our economy is
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: moving in the right direction, but it's clearly we have
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a long way to go. All told, our economy has
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: added more than one million, five hundred thousand new jobs
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: since I took office. That's the most number of jobs
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: created in the first three months of any precedency in
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: our history. Well, there, you go it's all better now, right,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that fixes everything. We've created all these jobs. Now, have
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they actually created jobs or is it the fact that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you had a bunch of people that lost their jobs
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: due to COVID. We're starting to get back to normal
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and now it's going in the right direction. That is
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the question that everybody should be asking. You have a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: massive shortage of people, right. We have people begging for
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: people to be employed, begging saying please come to work, please,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: please come to work, please, please come to work. And
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: what are they doing? They're not showing up? But would
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you show up for work if you know you could
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: make more money staying at home. Look, I own businesses
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and small businesses. Just to be very clear, we have
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: had people that have come in and quit. We've had
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: people come and ask us to fire them. We've asked
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: people to lay them off because like, hey man, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: got I got fan members and friends that they're making
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: more moneys at home. Could you guys like lay me off?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We're like, no, we're not gonna lay you off. Well,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, could you, like, you know, like give me
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a separations or something so we can just like kind
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of move on. No, we're not going to do that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We had people after the pandemic that we asked to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: come back. Right after the initial shutdowns of everything, when
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: our businesses were forced to shut down because the government
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: forced us to, we called them and said we have
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: your job back. And there were people that said, no,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the free money right this money for
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: not working, and I'll call you maybe down the road
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: if I want to work again when the money runs out.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: They took their vacations, and the money kept rolling, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the money kept rolling, and the money kept rolling, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the money kept rolling, and then it got to a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: point where you're like, well, shoot, this may never end.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: This might be the best decision I've ever made. This
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: might be the best thing I've ever done. This is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: starting to look pretty good. I'm kind of liking this
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: right life right now looks pretty awesome. And then when
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you get busted and this is all this is hitting
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the fan, as they say, now, look at what's happening. Well,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we're actually I had a schedule. You got
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to understand, we're actually doing better than we thought we
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: were going to be doing. Right now, you add all
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: that up, and they were talking about over a thousand
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: dollars for people making minimum wage that they were getting
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: their hands on free money over a thousand. That means
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: over four thousand a month for not going to work.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Why would you why would you disappear? Right? Why would
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you leave your job because the government's incentivizing you to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: do it? And don't think that they're just dumb. That's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the point I want you to understand. Okay, don't don't
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: let them off the hook. I believe this is being
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: done on purpose. I really do. I believe that this
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: is being done completely on purpose. You have people that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: become dependent on you, You have people that can't live
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: their lives without you. Those people will vote for you.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Those people will vote for you in the midterms. When
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the money stops running, right, when it stops running into
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: your bank account, when it starts running out, then they'll
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: blame the Republican Party because the Republican Party actually is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the one that said, being an adult, go back to work.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We're the people that want to keep sending you the money, right,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: We're the ones that wanted to keep sending you the cash.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: We're the ones that wanted to make you make sure
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: you had more money in your you know, we're the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: ones that wanted to give you free money in your
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: bank account. They wanted you to have to earn your paycheck.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: That is the difference between the half and the have nots.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Right now, you have a Democratic party that says we
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: want to take care of you, just vote for us,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and you have Republican Party says being an adult and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: go and go, actually take care of yourself. There is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a big difference. Okay, there is a huge difference in
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: those scenarios. A huge difference in those two scenarios. All right. Lastly,
