Are We Living In A Banana Republic? · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm going to ask you a question.
0:02
Speaker 1: Are we living in a Banana republic? If you look
0:09
Speaker 1: at the Biden family, what they've been able to get
0:13
Speaker 1: away with, what they've done, the question has to be asked,
0:16
Speaker 1: are we living in a banana republic? What is a
0:20
Speaker 1: banana republic? Let's start with that. A banana republic is
0:24
Speaker 1: a government that basically is run by corrupt individuals who
0:30
Speaker 1: then decide the outcome of free and fair elections and
0:34
Speaker 1: also lock up their political opponents. Now, this is a line,
0:40
Speaker 1: I want to be clear, that has been talked about
0:42
Speaker 1: a lot. It is a line that concerns me. The
0:46
Speaker 1: reason why I say it's a line that concerns me
0:49
Speaker 1: is because there are people that overuse it. It's a
0:53
Speaker 1: way to hit people politically. That's a problem. When you
0:58
Speaker 1: want to start hitting some one politically, you start saying
1:02
Speaker 1: things like this, they're tyrant, they're a dictator. And then
1:05
Speaker 1: there's reality what we're living through right now. It's pretty
1:09
Speaker 1: darn clear what we're living through right now. It's pretty
1:12
Speaker 1: clear that you have a president of United States of
1:14
Speaker 1: America that's compromised by our adversaries. It's pretty clear we
1:17
Speaker 1: have a president of the United States of America right
1:19
Speaker 1: now that isn't just compromised by our adversaries, but also
1:25
Speaker 1: is an individual that was willing to take money from
1:29
Speaker 1: the highest bidder. He's an individual that also knew that
1:32
Speaker 1: they were going after Donald Trump for crimes that he
1:34
Speaker 1: didn't commit when he was the president and impeaching him
1:38
Speaker 1: not once but twice for things they made up. They
1:41
Speaker 1: now are trying to put the front runner in the
1:43
Speaker 1: Republican Party in prison and for how long more than
1:47
Speaker 1: seven hundred years. In fact, some of the crimes they've
1:50
Speaker 1: charged him with you are actually eligible for the death penalty.
1:57
Speaker 1: This president, former President Trump umph is under attack by
2:02
Speaker 1: an entire government, and that is why many people describe
2:06
Speaker 1: this as Banana Republic. Now, I also want to remind
2:11
Speaker 1: you of the Democrats. I want to go back and
2:14
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Actually, let me rephrase that. Twenty nineteen Democrats.
2:21
Speaker 1: I think they knew where they were headed with this
2:23
Speaker 1: and how they needed to protect Biden, and they started
2:27
Speaker 1: attacking Trump. They claimed that Trump was using his Department
2:30
Speaker 1: of Justice to investigate his rivals, to investigate Joe Biden.
2:35
Speaker 1: You may remember that they also then accused Donald Trump
2:39
Speaker 1: of running this country like ready for this, the Banana Republic,
2:45
Speaker 1: and what they accused him of back then investigating actual
2:50
Speaker 1: crimes committed by the Biden crime family, they said, was
2:53
Speaker 1: no less than weaponizing the Department of Justice. Now here's
2:56
Speaker 1: what's also very interesting about this is that when they
3:01
Speaker 1: were doing this, Okay, when they were doing this, one
3:07
Speaker 1: of the things that was very, very very interesting about
3:10
Speaker 1: it was the fact that they knew that they had
3:14
Speaker 1: to attack Trump to undermine Trump so that people wouldn't
3:17
Speaker 1: pay attention to the facts that were coming out about
3:21
Speaker 1: the case. That was something that they absolutely had to do,
3:27
Speaker 1: and they did it honestly, like flawlessly. They did it perfectly.
3:32
Speaker 1: They nailed it. And because then the media was talking
3:38
Speaker 1: about the quote corruption of Donald Trump and seid of
3:42
Speaker 1: the story, which was the story of Joe Biden. Now,
3:46
Speaker 1: I want to take you back to twenty nineteen. In
3:49
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and I have a montage for you that
3:53
Speaker 1: I want to play for you. This is the media
3:57
Speaker 1: going after Trump and the Trump White House, the Trump
4:00
Speaker 1: everything around Trump, saying that Donald Trump had weaponized the
4:04
Speaker 1: DOJ to investigate his rival. In his rival was Joe Biden,
4:07
Speaker 1: who was running for president. Right, that's pretty clear. We
4:10
Speaker 1: know that now the election was in twenty twenty, and
4:14
Speaker 1: in the reality, that's not what was happening. There were
4:17
Speaker 1: real crimes that had been committed by the Bidens. We
4:19
Speaker 1: now know what those crimes are. We know how bad
4:22
Speaker 1: they are, we know how long the list is. We
4:25
Speaker 1: know about the money, we know about the laptop. We
4:27
Speaker 1: know about Victorshoken, we know about him firing the prosecutor.
4:31
Speaker 1: We know about him bragging about all of these things.
4:36
Speaker 1: He was bragging about it all the time. He was
4:39
Speaker 1: proud of it. Joe Biden was So what was the
4:42
Speaker 1: media doing to cover for the Democrats? This is what
4:47
Speaker 1: they were doing.
4:48
Speaker 2: Listen, wait, Attorney general in position to do it. We
4:50
Speaker 2: now know they really have been trying to gin up
4:53
Speaker 2: criminal prosecutions and criminal investigations into the president's perceived enemies.
4:57
Speaker 2: Politically motivated persecution. Right courtesy of Bill Barr. I'll roll
5:03
Speaker 2: in the FBI on you. That's how banana republics work.
5:06
Speaker 3: Right.
5:07
Speaker 4: The home of the forty fifth president of the United
5:09
Speaker 4: States has been raided by the FBI.
5:12
Speaker 2: Mister Trump is using the Justice Department to go after
5:15
Speaker 2: his perceived enemies. I feel worried about the prospect of
5:18
Speaker 2: the Justice Department being used as our little Banana Republic.
5:25
Speaker 2: Any capable prosecutor can get a grand jury to hand
5:29
Speaker 2: down an indictment of something as innocent as a ham Sandway.
5:32
Speaker 3: An indictment was unsealed charging Donald J.
5:36
Speaker 5: Trump.
5:36
Speaker 6: He news on former President Trump.
5:38
Speaker 4: He's been indicted for the fourth time in five months.
5:40
Speaker 7: The bar on the president's behalf is weaponizing the Justice
5:43
Speaker 7: Department to go after the president's enemies. When you win
5:47
Speaker 7: an election, you don't seek to just prosecute the losing side.
5:50
Speaker 8: President using the Justice Department as a weapon to get
5:53
Speaker 8: what he wants.
5:54
Speaker 9: Department of Justice is totally politicized.
5:56
Speaker 3: Seeking the Department of Justice on political opponents.
5:59
Speaker 6: Threatening to imprison his political rival Banana Republic.
6:03
Speaker 4: Style, trying to exact revenge against all of his enemies.
6:06
Speaker 10: Timpop dictator, and a Banana Republic.
6:08
Speaker 3: Is acting more like a Banana Republic dictator.
6:12
Speaker 4: He's using government resources to go after his political opponent.
6:16
Speaker 9: Essentially, we are a Banana Republic that we are seeking
6:21
Speaker 9: to have a bogus in criminal investigation into a political opponent.
6:26
Speaker 1: And that's using the Department of Justice to also target
6:30
Speaker 1: Trunk's political opponent for nefarious reasons.
6:32
Speaker 2: This is a massive abuse.
6:34
Speaker 5: Of power and a betrayal of our values because.
6:36
Speaker 3: In the United States is targeting a family member of
6:39
Speaker 3: a political opponent.
6:40
Speaker 11: This is the type of thing that happens in a
6:42
Speaker 11: Banana Republic.
6:44
Speaker 7: And trying to take out a political rival in Joe Biden.
6:47
Speaker 8: Criminally investigating an American political rival. Some when the president's
6:50
Speaker 8: worried about losing to in the next election.
6:52
Speaker 2: To investigate my principal opponent or a principal opponent in the.
6:57
Speaker 7: Upcoming election, juston, we have a problem.
6:59
Speaker 5: Don't you think that's something that should be investigated when
7:02
Speaker 5: the incumbent political party opens.
7:04
Speaker 3: A counter intelligence investigation on the candidate of the opposing party.
7:09
Speaker 3: We know Trump is itching to politicize the Justice Department
7:12
Speaker 3: and the Attorney General has been super shady.
7:14
Speaker 7: President is weaponizing the Department of Justice to bring cases
7:18
Speaker 7: against his enemies to the Department of Justice is in
7:21
Speaker 7: an existential crisis.
7:22
Speaker 5: Again.
7:23
Speaker 3: It's yet another example of the Justice Department basically losing
7:27
Speaker 3: all of its independence in this administration.
7:29
Speaker 2: This is now about corrupting the next election, and for me,
7:32
Speaker 2: this was crossing the red line.
7:33
Speaker 7: A president who is actively trying to potentially steal the
7:37
Speaker 7: upcoming election.
7:38
Speaker 3: But to try to take a political rival, the end
7:42
Speaker 3: goal being twenty twenty.
7:43
Speaker 9: Donald Trump and his Attorney general are using the Justice Department.
7:47
Speaker 7: The only difference between this and a Banana Republic is.
7:50
Speaker 4: That Trump does not eat fruit.
7:51
Speaker 9: A twenty twenty election is really the last chance we
7:54
Speaker 9: have to stop our system from fully sliding into a
7:56
Speaker 9: corrupt and anna republic.
7:57
Speaker 4: Bill Barr has done everything that Donald Trump had wanted
8:00
Speaker 4: him to do.
8:01
Speaker 2: Living in a Banana republic right now.
8:03
Speaker 3: When you start using the Justice Department to go after
8:06
Speaker 3: your enemies, that's very, very dangerous.
8:09
Speaker 7: Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to go
8:12
Speaker 7: after his enemies in any way that he can.
8:15
Speaker 2: Having the head of the chief federal law enforcement agency
8:18
Speaker 2: essentially working on his behalf to investigate a political rival.
8:21
Speaker 5: To investigate the family of a political opponent, basically banana
8:28
Speaker 5: republic behavior.
8:29
Speaker 10: We're no better than some you know, some banana republic,
8:34
Speaker 10: and he's using the abuse of power in every element
8:37
Speaker 10: of the presidency to try.
8:40
Speaker 5: To do something to smear me.
8:45
Speaker 10: We just have to demonstrate that he will not take
8:47
Speaker 10: power by if he does run.
8:52
Speaker 1: That was how the media spun this up. Okay, that's
8:57
Speaker 1: what they did. They spun it up this way, They
9:02
Speaker 1: spun it up this way. This is what they did.
9:09
Speaker 1: That's amazing if you listen to this, everything that the
9:13
Speaker 1: Biden administration has actually been doing, they were accusing Donald
9:19
Speaker 1: Trump of doing it, every single thing. And why were
9:25
Speaker 1: they doing it this way? Because they knew that if
9:27
Speaker 1: they drummed it up, the media would sell it and
9:30
Speaker 1: they could get their guy elected. And that's what you
9:33
Speaker 1: just heard. Remember how they would spend things for the
9:38
Speaker 1: Bidens when they desperately need to spend things when things
9:41
Speaker 1: got really bad. There was the big lie that Joe
9:44
Speaker 1: Biden never talked about business with his kids, right, that
9:47
Speaker 1: was a lie. He talked about it with his brother,
9:49
Speaker 1: He talked about it with his son. How everybody was
9:51
Speaker 1: on the payday, you know, getting a pay day, so
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they were all talking about it. And he lied,
9:57
Speaker 1: And then the lie had to change. The White House
10:02
Speaker 1: had to change the narrative that he'd never talked business
10:04
Speaker 1: with the son. To quote, he had never been in
10:06
Speaker 1: business with his son. That was the line. As soon
10:09
Speaker 1: as that happened, I played that for you as the
10:11
Speaker 1: White House changed their entire narrative. They'd been lying to
10:14
Speaker 1: you for the entire time he'd been in the White
10:16
Speaker 1: House and during the campaign, I'd never discussed any business
10:20
Speaker 1: with my son. I had kept it separate period, period, right, period.
10:24
Speaker 1: I'd never discussed any business with my son period, leave
10:27
Speaker 1: me alone, period, right, shut up. That's what the Biden
10:32
Speaker 1: crime Family statement was, and the White House like, well,
10:35
Speaker 1: he never after it came out, by the way, that
10:38
Speaker 1: he had called into his son at least twenty plus times,
10:40
Speaker 1: when there was testimony from one of his business partners
10:43
Speaker 1: before Congress saying yeah, he was on the phone all
10:46
Speaker 1: the time. We'd be at business meetings and he'd throw
10:49
Speaker 1: us down on speakerphone. It was clearly he was selling
10:51
Speaker 1: access to the big guy. That's what it was. It
10:53
Speaker 1: was to influence and get the deal done, to show, hey,
10:55
Speaker 1: what you're buying from us, you're getting, right, what you're
11:00
Speaker 1: buying from us, you're getting you're buying access. You're paying
11:06
Speaker 1: for access, and we're going to give it to you.
11:09
Speaker 5: Right.
11:13
Speaker 1: That's all I can say here. I am also remember
11:22
Speaker 1: what the media did when they had to cover for
11:25
Speaker 1: this lie. The media said, well, hold on, we got
11:28
Speaker 1: to spin on this, right, we got to admit now
11:30
Speaker 1: that they talk business. So what do we do. We'll
11:33
Speaker 1: just come out and say, well, this is just because
11:35
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden being a great dad. Well, actually praise
11:38
Speaker 1: him for lying to the American people and say, of
11:41
Speaker 1: course he was going to talk to his son when
11:43
Speaker 1: his son called, he was just being a great dad
11:45
Speaker 1: and they were just remember talking about the weather. Yeah,
11:49
Speaker 1: his ex business partner said, Biden was clearly selling access
11:54
Speaker 1: to the father.
11:56
Speaker 3: Take a listen, Joe Biden did nothing, nothing, not even
11:59
Speaker 3: approximating improper, much less wrong or illegal.
12:03
Speaker 1: It's wishful thinking.
12:04
Speaker 6: They're trying to create a scandal.
12:05
Speaker 5: Figure. It's pretty clear, at least so far, there is
12:08
Speaker 5: nothing there.
12:09
Speaker 7: House Republicans continue their search for any proof at all
12:12
Speaker 7: tying President Joe Biden to his son Hunter's business dealings.
12:15
Speaker 3: Joe Biden had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings.
12:19
Speaker 8: Because they wanted they wanted dirty of Biden's name.
12:22
Speaker 3: Do you know Republicans have been trying to use Hunter
12:24
Speaker 3: Biden's behavior against the President. Did not know about anything
12:29
Speaker 3: that Hunter Biden was doing.
12:30
Speaker 6: Sean Biden was simply involved in his son's life. In
12:34
Speaker 6: a personal capacity. Republicans from consistently trying to make this
12:38
Speaker 6: argument and create the illusion of some malfeasance being there.
12:43
Speaker 3: Spoke to business associates of Hunter Biden to say hello,
12:49
Speaker 3: to have small talk, casual conversation.
12:52
Speaker 4: Hunter Biden talked to his dad on the phone all
12:54
Speaker 4: the time. They talked basically every day. Sometimes Joe Biden
12:58
Speaker 4: would say hello to the people in the room with
13:00
Speaker 4: if he popped in or.
13:00
Speaker 5: On the floor or whatever.
13:01
Speaker 3: It all casual conversation, nice cities, the weather.
13:05
Speaker 7: They never discussed the business.
13:07
Speaker 6: These were more of just cordial hello types of conversations.
13:11
Speaker 6: Business was never discussed on those calls, and there was
13:13
Speaker 6: more casual sort of check in casual conversations.
13:16
Speaker 5: President Biden might have said, hey, putting me on speakerphone,
13:21
Speaker 5: you know, are you having a business meeting? Like what
13:24
Speaker 5: is that about? But do you hang up on your
13:26
Speaker 5: phone on your side.
13:28
Speaker 3: Bo Biden, Hunter's brother and President Biden's son, was very
13:32
Speaker 3: ill with cancer and then passed away. That, as the
13:35
Speaker 3: witness today testified, was what these conversations and these calls
13:39
Speaker 3: were about.
13:40
Speaker 4: We should put this in context.
13:41
Speaker 3: This is the time when Bo Biden, the President's other son,
13:44
Speaker 3: was ill and then dying and then passed away.
13:46
Speaker 5: Very fraud and said time for the Biden family, and
13:52
Speaker 5: we know how important family is to the president.
13:56
Speaker 7: They're doing Donald Trump's bidding, going after Hunter Biden, trying
13:59
Speaker 7: to create a hi to the president.
14:01
Speaker 4: This is a this is a political move here, it
14:03
Speaker 4: is it is a politics thing, right inasmuch as it's
14:07
Speaker 4: anything else fair, Yeah.
14:09
Speaker 5: I think so.
14:09
Speaker 10: It does not appear to have been a direct of
14:11
Speaker 10: business tie.
14:13
Speaker 9: Because right now you don't see any conduct that's illegal,
14:16
Speaker 9: that there is regulational law that's prohibiting it, even though
14:18
Speaker 9: it might be highly unethical.
14:20
Speaker 10: I don't see high crimes, and mister readers, I don't
14:22
Speaker 10: even see a low crime.
14:23
Speaker 11: I see a son who's using his father.
14:26
Speaker 8: People with famous last names, using them for their own purposes.
14:30
Speaker 8: People in your families, they're near do wells. This is
14:34
Speaker 8: as old as time.
14:37
Speaker 1: It's amazing. That was what they said. Hunter Biden talked
14:44
Speaker 1: to us down the phone all the time. They talk
14:46
Speaker 1: basically every day. Sometimes Joe would say hello, are the
14:48
Speaker 1: people in the room if he popped in or on
14:51
Speaker 1: the phone or whatever. No big deal, right, This is
14:54
Speaker 1: just a dad, This is just a guy being a
14:56
Speaker 1: great dad. He just calling his son and these sons
15:00
Speaker 1: it happens to be in a multi million dollar business
15:03
Speaker 1: meeting transaction and the access they're selling to the dad
15:07
Speaker 1: and getting the deals done, and he's just being a
15:09
Speaker 1: good dad. He was being a good dad. I would
15:13
Speaker 1: say he's being a great provider by selling out the
15:17
Speaker 1: United States of America the highest bidder and to the
15:19
Speaker 1: most shady and corrupt people in the world. I have
15:23
Speaker 1: to say this again because the more that we're seeing
15:25
Speaker 1: how this is playing out and how the media is
15:27
Speaker 1: doing it, the angrier it makes me. It is still
15:33
Speaker 1: I go back to this fact. You have a man
15:39
Speaker 1: in Joe Biden who is not really the President of
15:43
Speaker 1: United States of America. He's the president of the Biden Enterprise,
15:48
Speaker 1: the Biden crime Family, right, He's that's who he is.
15:54
Speaker 1: He is a guy that has said I'm all in
15:58
Speaker 1: to sell access to our family so we get paid.
16:04
Speaker 1: And then the media, who accused, by the way Donald
16:07
Speaker 1: Trump of weaponized in the dj for investigating this corruption and said, oh,
16:10
Speaker 1: we're living in the Banana Republic. This is the Banana Republic,
16:13
Speaker 1: right you over and over again, you played it for
16:14
Speaker 1: you a moment ago is now sitting here and they're like, oh, well,
16:19
Speaker 1: he didn't really commit any crimes. He wasn't really that
16:21
Speaker 1: bad of a guy. He wasn't, no, no, he was
16:25
Speaker 1: just being a good dad, and we'll explain it away
16:28
Speaker 1: that way. There's also something else that's happening in the media,
16:35
Speaker 1: and that is they're trying to tell people that things
16:39
Speaker 1: aren't actually as bad as they really are. Interest rates
16:45
Speaker 1: are now at a twenty one year high. Credit card
16:51
Speaker 1: interest rates now are at the highest many have seen
16:53
Speaker 1: in their lifetime, and we have almost a trillion dollars
16:58
Speaker 1: in credit card debt in this country. It may be
17:01
Speaker 1: over at trillion nine need to go check the numbers again.
17:04
Speaker 1: But there are people now that are gonna be dealing
17:07
Speaker 1: with I can't afford the that I have and the
17:10
Speaker 1: variable rate that I have, and I can't afford the
17:12
Speaker 1: house if I've got a variable rate mortgage and I
17:14
Speaker 1: can't afford to buy house, even if I can afford
17:19
Speaker 1: the actual price of the house. Right Like I can
17:21
Speaker 1: afford the price, it's something that happens a lot. I
17:24
Speaker 1: can afford that the actual price, I can't afford the
17:26
Speaker 1: interest on the money I got to borrow. Could have
17:30
Speaker 1: afforded a year ago, two years ago, three years ago,
17:33
Speaker 1: but not now. And this is going to change, and
17:36
Speaker 1: it is screwing up the housing market. One way it's
17:38
Speaker 1: screwing it up is people with low interest rates are
17:41
Speaker 1: never going to move. Are you going to give up
17:44
Speaker 1: a two and a half percent interest rate, a three
17:46
Speaker 1: percent interest rate to inherit a nine percent interest rate? No,
17:49
Speaker 1: most people will not do it that. And in the
17:53
Speaker 1: housing market you need buying and selling. And when people
17:57
Speaker 1: that have locked in these low interest rates on these
17:59
Speaker 1: thirty year mortgages, is see what they would inherit to move,
18:02
Speaker 1: most of them say, not worth it. I'm out, I'm
18:05
Speaker 1: not doing this now. We also have the problems with inflation.
18:11
Speaker 1: Yesterday was my birthday. We went to dinner last night
18:15
Speaker 1: and it just makes me laugh now how expensive dinner
18:18
Speaker 1: has gotten. We didn't blow it out. We went to
18:20
Speaker 1: an Italian restaurant. It was It wasn't like some five
18:23
Speaker 1: star restaurant or anything like that. But when you get
18:26
Speaker 1: the bill, you just look at it now and you're like,
18:28
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Like, and it's happening everywhere, almost
18:32
Speaker 1: everywhere I go. Now, it's just there's there's this new
18:35
Speaker 1: sticker shock that is like really, like, this is what
18:39
Speaker 1: we're now having to do, Like this is how bad
18:42
Speaker 1: it is. This is this is what it is. And
18:45
Speaker 1: it's incredibly frustrating to me to witness the demise of
18:52
Speaker 1: our economy and of business owners and small business owners.
18:55
Speaker 1: It's also affecting people in a very real way that
19:00
Speaker 1: own businesses because we're watching people not spend like they
19:04
Speaker 1: used to because they can't afford it. The cost of
19:07
Speaker 1: goods and services have skyrocketed. I'll give you a great example.
19:14
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, we had our I think
19:15
Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty, if I'm not mistaken, we had
19:19
Speaker 1: our dog Memphis teeth cleaned. It is now two x
19:23
Speaker 1: more than what it cost because they got to put
19:24
Speaker 1: the dog under and everything else. And she said, I
19:28
Speaker 1: get it. I think it's crazy. I'm not sure based
19:31
Speaker 1: on the age of the dog that I would do
19:32
Speaker 1: this because of how expensive it is. And she said,
19:34
Speaker 1: this is what the pricing has done since with inflation,
19:39
Speaker 1: Like I'm really sorry. I mean it's affecting going to
19:41
Speaker 1: the vet. What it costs to hire staff now is
19:46
Speaker 1: the highest it's ever been in my lifetime. And people
19:48
Speaker 1: are like, oh, well, wages are up. I mean you've
19:50
Speaker 1: probably heard that argument quite a few times. I've heard
19:53
Speaker 1: that argument quite a few times. Right, wages are up.
19:56
Speaker 1: And so when wages are up, think, oh, well, that's
20:00
Speaker 1: good news. Not really, not if you're paying nine percent
20:06
Speaker 1: interests on a house and inflation rates and food costs
20:09
Speaker 1: that we've never seen before in our lifetime. Like, no,
20:12
Speaker 1: this is, not, to be clear, a good thing. This
20:16
Speaker 1: is a in fact, this is a very bad thing,
20:21
Speaker 1: an extremely bad thing for this economy and for the
20:26
Speaker 1: American people. So now what is the media doing. They're
20:30
Speaker 1: trying to tell you and convince you ahead of this
20:32
Speaker 1: election coming up that Joe Biden's economy is a somehow
20:36
Speaker 1: working and Joe Biden's economy is not that bad. Representative
20:41
Speaker 1: Jeffreys was on TV this morning, and I want you
20:45
Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say about the economy
20:47
Speaker 1: that Biden is quote building.
20:49
Speaker 10: Do you feel you know, one of the things that
20:51
Speaker 10: our colleagues have been reporting, Melanie and others has been
20:54
Speaker 10: they're not going to have a vote to launch an impeachment.
20:56
Speaker 10: Great because they don't have two hundred and eighteen votes,
20:58
Speaker 10: mainly because Frontline Republicans. The majority makers, many of which
21:01
Speaker 10: many of them come from your state of New York,
21:04
Speaker 10: aren't necessarily there yet. I've talked to some of them
21:06
Speaker 10: behind the scenes. They say exactly that, do you feel
21:08
Speaker 10: like politically it would be advantageous for you if they
21:10
Speaker 10: decide to go down this path.
21:12
Speaker 11: Well, I'll leave the political assessments to others. I think
21:15
Speaker 11: that from a policy perspective, it's exactly the wrong thing
21:18
Speaker 11: to do. As House Democrats, we're going to continue to
21:21
Speaker 11: focus on delivering for everyday Americans, making a difference in
21:26
Speaker 11: the lives of everyday Americans. There's so many challenges that
21:29
Speaker 11: we need to continue to confront. President Biden is leading
21:32
Speaker 11: in an extraordinary way trying to build an economy from
21:35
Speaker 11: the middle out and the bottom up, as opposed to
21:36
Speaker 11: the top down, which had been the case on the
21:39
Speaker 11: Republican presidents, and we're going to continue to support him
21:42
Speaker 11: in that effort. There also are issues related to gun
21:46
Speaker 11: safety that we should be tackling. This is a uniquely
21:50
Speaker 11: American problem, and it's tragic. We shouldn't have children who
21:53
Speaker 11: have to familiarize themselves with active shooter drills as early
21:59
Speaker 11: as kindergarten.
22:01
Speaker 5: All across the country.
22:02
Speaker 11: We should be tackling gun safety and some common sense
22:06
Speaker 11: measures that we support. But instead what we see our
22:10
Speaker 11: Republicans with this do nothing extreme majority wasting the time
22:15
Speaker 11: and the treasure of the American people.
22:17
Speaker 5: And that's unfortunately.
22:18
Speaker 10: I do want to ask you about both the economy
22:19
Speaker 10: and on the Jacksonville shooting and gun safety in a second,
22:22
Speaker 10: but I do have one more we had.
22:24
Speaker 1: I mean, you hear this here. They're like, all right,
22:25
Speaker 1: let's go back into campaign mode. Let's tell people that
22:28
Speaker 1: Biden is leading an extraordinary way, in an extraordinary way,
22:32
Speaker 1: trying to build an economy this election coming up. They
22:39
Speaker 1: and you can see it in the media. They're like kry, like, look, guys,
22:42
Speaker 1: we got to put the brakes on this, right, Like,
22:45
Speaker 1: we got to tell people that things aren't as bad
22:49
Speaker 1: is they aren't as bad as they actually are. We've
22:53
Speaker 1: got to tell people that things are better than they
22:57
Speaker 1: actually are. This, by the way, as Biden went on
22:59
Speaker 1: stated age yesterday and forgot the name of his own
23:03
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security Secretary majorcis listen.
23:07
Speaker 10: Sector Homo Security, A guy who took the job, thank
23:12
Speaker 10: you for taking the job.
23:13
Speaker 1: Out for God, his own Department of Homeland Security secretary
23:19
Speaker 1: of my orcis a guy that's supposed to be in
23:21
Speaker 1: charge of the border, securing the border, which they've not
23:24
Speaker 1: done on purpose. And how bad is it at the
23:27
Speaker 1: border right now? Another illegal alien freed into the US
23:35
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration from the southern border last night,
23:39
Speaker 1: was charged with killing an eleven year old Aiden Clark.
23:43
Speaker 1: This illegal alien, released into the United States of America
23:46
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two after arriving at the nation's southern
23:50
Speaker 1: border by the Biden administration, is now charge with killing
23:53
Speaker 1: an eleven year old after crashing into a school bus
23:56
Speaker 1: filled with children in Clark County, Ohio. This happened on Monday.
24:02
Speaker 1: The thirty five year old illegal alien from Haiti appeared
24:09
Speaker 1: in the Clark County Municipal Court, where his bond was
24:12
Speaker 1: kept at one hundred thousand, falling charge of aggrigated vehicular homicide.
24:17
Speaker 1: According to prosecutors, Joseph was driving a Honda Odyssey Mini
24:20
Speaker 1: van when he hid a north Western Local school bus
24:24
Speaker 1: that was filled with children. The bus, as a result
24:28
Speaker 1: of the crash, flipped, and the eleven year old Aiden
24:30
Speaker 1: Clarke was ejected from the bus. That Tuesday, by the way,
24:37
Speaker 1: marked the first day of school for Aiden. Aiden's family
24:39
Speaker 1: described him as truly unique, caring, an inquisitive soul, and
24:43
Speaker 1: one of the most awesome and exceptional eleven year olds
24:46
Speaker 1: in existence. His love of sports were unparalleled, his desire
24:51
Speaker 1: to gain knowledge never stopped, and his weird interests were
24:55
Speaker 1: inspiring and never ending. From his daily vegetable guarding with
24:58
Speaker 1: his dad, trampling, jumping with his big sister, creating Minecraft
25:04
Speaker 1: worlds with his big bro, and always snuggling with Mom,
25:07
Speaker 1: Aiden love playing old school board games, doing word searches
25:11
Speaker 1: by flashlight in bed, playing outdoor sports inside, chasing his
25:16
Speaker 1: dog Daisy May, and snuggling with anyone. An Immigration and
25:20
Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement spokesman confirmed that Joseph, as assistant of Hadian,
25:25
Speaker 1: had arrived at the US Mexico border in August of
25:27
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. From there, the guy whose name you
25:32
Speaker 1: can't remember, mister President, but you're glad he took your
25:35
Speaker 1: job as your Department of Homeland Security Secretary my orchis
25:39
Speaker 1: at the direction of the Department of Homeland Security, they
25:41
Speaker 1: issued Joseph a notice to a peer that's called an
25:44
Speaker 1: NTA in federal Immigration Court and released him into the
25:48
Speaker 1: US interior, where he ultimately ended up in Ohio. National
25:52
Speaker 1: Immigration Center for Enforcement advisor or E board member said,
25:57
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden's expansive catch release network at the border
26:00
Speaker 1: is ultimately responsible for what just happened. This is the
26:08
Speaker 1: guy who's running our country right now, and this is
26:11
Speaker 1: what he's doing to our country right now. And if
26:14
Speaker 1: we don't keep telling the story as the media tries
26:18
Speaker 1: to cover and say, oh, Joe Biden talking to his
26:21
Speaker 1: son about business dealings with just him being a good dad. Oh, somehow,
26:24
Speaker 1: you need to understand that you're not giving Joe Biden
26:26
Speaker 1: enough credit for Biden's economy that he's quote building, that's
26:29
Speaker 1: their word, that he's building. This is now what we're
26:34
Speaker 1: dealing with. Five three five nine seven three two five
26:39
Speaker 1: three five nine seven three two. My question for you
26:44
Speaker 1: is a simple one. Do you give credit to Joe
26:48
Speaker 1: Biden for building a great economy or do you give
26:50
Speaker 1: Joe Biden credit for building an economy that is clearly
26:54
Speaker 1: a disaster. They they're saying on National TV this morning
27:01
Speaker 1: that you need to give him more credit. You need
27:08
Speaker 1: to give him more credit for building an amazing economy.
