Speaker 1: It's the economy stupid. Well, that's not what it is.
0:03
Speaker 1: If you talk to Democrats in Washington, what are they
0:06
Speaker 1: working on. Trying to figure out how to make sure
0:08
Speaker 1: you'd buy an electric car. They don't care if you're
0:12
Speaker 1: gonna afford it or not. And they're working on gun control.
0:16
Speaker 1: That's right. The House Judiciary Democrats passed an assault weapons
0:21
Speaker 1: ban with no GOP support. The House Judiciary Committee last night.
0:26
Speaker 1: Aligned Democrats aligned and voted unanimously to pass an assault
0:31
Speaker 1: weapons ban on Wednesday, while Committee Republicans all voted against
0:37
Speaker 1: the measure. This is something they're now celebrating in Washington.
0:42
Speaker 1: And what does this mean moving forward? Ted lou put
0:44
Speaker 1: it this way. US House candidate California thirty six, He said, quote,
0:49
Speaker 1: today we passed the Assault Weapons Ban Act. Every Democrat
0:53
Speaker 1: and House Judiciary voted yes, and every Republican voted no. This,
0:57
Speaker 1: he said, was a proud moment for the Democratic part.
1:00
Speaker 1: This again, all while the economy is in serious trouble.
1:05
Speaker 1: This is what Democrats are working on. But first I
1:08

2:39
Speaker 1: investments dot Com. Again joining me now to talk about
2:44
Speaker 1: this as US Senator from Tennessee, Bill Haggarty, Senator, I
2:47
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on, and let's start first off with these.
2:53
Speaker 1: It's clear that the Democrats are, I guess, trying to
2:56
Speaker 1: just distract from the reality of what's happening. They're refusing
2:59
Speaker 1: to deal with the economy. They're refusing to deal with
3:02
Speaker 1: their policies that are destroying this country, specifically on oil
3:05
Speaker 1: and gas. We are seeing the present come out to
3:08
Speaker 1: a full court press with every other Democrat around him
3:11
Speaker 1: obsessing over, you know, this executive action that he can take,
3:15
Speaker 1: even maybe declaring a state of emergency on global warming,
3:19
Speaker 1: saying it's a number one threat to this country. Is
3:22
Speaker 1: what are what are people that you serve with saying
3:26
Speaker 1: about this? I mean, this is not the time to
3:28
Speaker 1: be doing this, which is only going to make oil
3:29
Speaker 1: and gas prices go up, not down, which is hurting
3:33
Speaker 1: more Americans, all Americans. Yeah, been as usual. You hit
3:38
Speaker 1: a bull's eye when You mentioned the word distraction because
3:41
Speaker 1: the Democrats are looking at the exact same poll numbers
3:45
Speaker 1: that I am, and they are losing. They're losing the
3:47
Speaker 1: American public in a big way. Inflation and the economy
3:51
Speaker 1: are the number one issue on Americans' minds. Americans, I
3:55
Speaker 1: guess they believe we all live in flyover states and
3:57
Speaker 1: we don't matter, and they surround themselves with, you know,
4:01
Speaker 1: breeding their own exhaust in this glass bubble here in Washington,
4:04
Speaker 1: and they're trying to do things that will quote rally
4:06
Speaker 1: their base. They're really trying to do things that will
4:09
Speaker 1: divide Americans, and I think they believe that the weight
4:11
Speaker 1: to victory for them is through division. I believe it's
4:14
Speaker 1: through addition and multiplication and focusing on issues that actually
4:18
Speaker 1: matter to people would actually help the Democrats. But instead
4:22
Speaker 1: they're they're blind focus on trying to drive issues that
4:27
Speaker 1: will divide America. They think that that energizes their base,
4:31
Speaker 1: certainly to an extended energizes the far far up. It
4:34
Speaker 1: may energize the Twitter verse that they pay so much
4:36
Speaker 1: attention to, but that's not the majority of the American people.
4:39
Speaker 1: The economy is the number one issue, and every step
4:42
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is taking is making economic matters worse
4:46
Speaker 1: here and you mentioned the economy with respect to their
4:49
Speaker 1: climate goals. What they're doing is driven the cost of
4:53
Speaker 1: energy through the roof here in America. And we've talked
4:56
Speaker 1: about this before. Then these are global markets. They've driven
4:59
Speaker 1: up energy prices not only here in America to a
5:02
Speaker 1: point of massive pain, but they've also driven up energy
5:05
Speaker 1: prices on a global basis that they have inadvertently funded
5:08
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine because Putin has been the
5:11
Speaker 1: biggest beneficiary of this worldwide lice increase. It seems to
5:15
Speaker 1: me that the policy of the Biden administration and Democrats
5:19
Speaker 1: that are obsessed with forcing you into their green new religion,
5:23
Speaker 1: and I do believe it's religion like a cult, is Look,
5:26
Speaker 1: we're going to transition from energy independence in America to
5:32
Speaker 1: energy dependence to countries that hate the United States of America.
5:37
Speaker 1: How is that a smart foreign policy and national security move?
5:40
Speaker 1: And it seems that the entire democratic apparatus is in
5:44
Speaker 1: favor of this. Well, it certainly does seem that way.
5:48
Speaker 1: And what they're doing is they're transitioning from a point
5:50
Speaker 1: where we were at net exporter of energy. When President
5:53
Speaker 1: Trump was in office, just go back two years, we
5:55
Speaker 1: were in a position to be the net exporter. We
5:58
Speaker 1: were energy independent. Now us in a place of extreme vulnerability,
6:01
Speaker 1: and they want this quote transition to take place, to
6:04
Speaker 1: electric vehicles, to solar panels. All of these things are
6:07
Speaker 1: manufactured in China, and China is going to place a
6:10
Speaker 1: chokehold on our economy. As you said, these are countries
6:13
Speaker 1: that don't have our best interest at heart, and they
6:15
Speaker 1: want to put us again in a vulnerable position, a
6:18
Speaker 1: strategic position where we cannot fulfill the needs of the
6:22
Speaker 1: American public. It's going to create a disaster. You're already
6:25
Speaker 1: seeing you. I saw a notice earlier this week in
6:27
Speaker 1: Texas that they've asked people to not charge their tesla's
6:30
Speaker 1: in the afternoon because they're concerned about brownouts. They've moved
6:33
Speaker 1: too fast toward wind and solar. You've seen what happens.
6:37
Speaker 1: They're subject to great vulnerability because these technologies have not sold.
6:42
Speaker 1: The gap that are being created by these failed policies
6:44
Speaker 1: as they wage warning on gas instry. There was an
6:47
Speaker 1: interesting commentary yesterday and it said the disconnect between the
6:51
Speaker 1: White House and the people is beyond apparent when it
6:54
Speaker 1: comes to the polls, not just on climate change but
6:57
Speaker 1: also on the economy right now. Quote, but the fact
7:00
Speaker 1: that we are talking about climate change is an emergency
7:02
Speaker 1: as a crisis as this president doesn't consider inflation approaching
7:06
Speaker 1: ten percent in this country that is not a crisis.
7:10
Speaker 1: Or more than twelve million people legally entering this country
7:13
Speaker 1: in Joe Biden's first two years, that is a projection
7:17
Speaker 1: now that to this administration is also not a crisis.
7:21
Speaker 1: All the fetnal that is the leading cause of death
7:24
Speaker 1: for those between the ages of eighteen and forty nine,
7:27
Speaker 1: that apparently is not a crisis either. You look at
7:31
Speaker 1: the real issues that we have right now in this country,
7:34
Speaker 1: and you look at how they're treating them. They're just
7:36
Speaker 1: acting like it's another day when they wake up. Hey,
7:38
Speaker 1: who cares if a bunch of eighteen to forty nine
7:40
Speaker 1: year olds are dying from fetnal coming across the border.
7:42
Speaker 1: Who cares? If we're approaching now four million people illegally
7:46
Speaker 1: entering this country in Joe Biden's first two years, who cares? Right,
7:50
Speaker 1: if we have an inflation at ten percent, how do
7:54
Speaker 1: you not deal with inflation? At this point? It's going
7:56
Speaker 1: to cripple our economy, and I think you're afraid of it,
7:58
Speaker 1: are concerned the same way I am. Yes, I'm very
8:02
Speaker 1: worried that we're at the precipice of a recession right now.
8:04
Speaker 1: We're going to find out on July twenty eighth if
8:07
Speaker 1: we have technically entered a recession, because there'll be opportunity
8:09
Speaker 1: to get the GDP growth rate for this quarter. If
8:13
Speaker 1: it's negative again like it was for the last quarter,
8:16
Speaker 1: we're going to technically be a profession. But for many people,
8:19
Speaker 1: we've been in a recession for some time again. Real
8:22
Speaker 1: wages are declining because inflation is spinning out of control.
8:25
Speaker 1: And if you look at the rate of inflation growth,
8:27
Speaker 1: then it's accelerating. It's not decelerated. We went from eight
8:30
Speaker 1: point six percent to nine point one percent this month.
8:33
Speaker 1: It's growing at a faster rate. So they have completely
8:36
Speaker 1: lost economy, and you're right, they lost control of our
8:39
Speaker 1: border the minute that Joe Biden came into office. It's
8:42
Speaker 1: been intentional. They're killing people. In my home state of Tennessee,
8:45
Speaker 1: we had over three thousand deaths from overdose, and my
8:48
Speaker 1: sheriff told me that every month is worse than the
8:51
Speaker 1: month before in terms of the number of people that
8:53
Speaker 1: they are finding overdosed, are dead because of illicit drugs
8:57
Speaker 1: that are coming across that forest Mexican border. Biden won't
9:00
Speaker 1: even go to the border. You cannot get a Democrat
9:02
Speaker 1: to go to the border. Yet it's the precipitate, as
9:05
Speaker 1: you said, the major cause of death for young people
9:07
Speaker 1: between ages of eighteen and their late forty. So they
9:10
Speaker 1: are avoiding every crisis that they've precipitated, then fabricating new
9:14
Speaker 1: crises by the minute, whether it's you know, the next
9:18
Speaker 1: threat to democracy. There's show trial that they've got going
9:20
Speaker 1: on regarding January six which will never end. And then
9:23
Speaker 1: you've got the reality of the November elections that are
9:27
Speaker 1: just pushing them into crazier and crazier, you know, in positions.
9:32
Speaker 1: What they should be doing is listening to the American
9:34
Speaker 1: people in this as you said, they're in your well,
9:37
Speaker 1: let's talk about this January sixth committee. They are going
9:40
Speaker 1: full court press on this, continuing to do it. I
9:42
Speaker 1: see even this morning they come out and they and
9:45
Speaker 1: they're saying, you know that we are we are not
9:46
Speaker 1: trying to quote stop that Donald Trump, but this is
9:49
Speaker 1: important to America's democracy, our national security. Even when Democrats said,
9:55
Speaker 1: put it this way, they said, the purpose of the
9:56
Speaker 1: January sixth Committee quote is not explicitly to go after Trump,
10:00
Speaker 1: it's to lay out the facts. Um, well, then why
10:02
Speaker 1: is it every single day clearly everything are doing trying
10:06
Speaker 1: to go after Donald Trump so that he they can
10:08
Speaker 1: make it where he's not even allowed to run for
10:10
Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty four if he chooses to do so.
10:14
Speaker 1: That is there is obviously what their goal is. And
10:17
Speaker 1: again it's an opportunity to deflect and distract. They time
10:21
Speaker 1: this thing just so it'll run right up to the
10:24
Speaker 1: early voting in most states for the November elections. This
10:28
Speaker 1: is a show trial and nothing more. There's no Republican
10:31
Speaker 1: opposition there. There's no one being cross examined. Um, they're
10:34
Speaker 1: you know, they're going in and basically selecting what they want,
10:37
Speaker 1: painting the picture that they want to create to discredit
10:40
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and to create more talking points so they
10:43
Speaker 1: can run against Trump. Yet again, I think they believe
10:45
Speaker 1: that's where their base needs to be. So it's again
10:48
Speaker 1: this hyperbole about the climate or let's do gun control
10:51
Speaker 1: or anything else, as well as attack Donald Trump. They're
10:54
Speaker 1: just bump or stickering their way to the November elections.
10:57
Speaker 1: The American public is far smarter than this. We all
11:00
Speaker 1: feel the pain that have been you's been precipitated by
11:03
Speaker 1: their policies, and I don't think this is going to
11:06
Speaker 1: work well for them at all. And if you look
11:08
Speaker 1: at the polls, they're not moving the polls with all
11:10
Speaker 1: this craziness. They may be satisfying themselves and may be
11:13
Speaker 1: raising money with it. I think that's that's working for them,
11:17
Speaker 1: but they are not moving the polls with the American public.
11:20
Speaker 1: I want to shift gears with you to another story
11:22
Speaker 1: that we've really been discussing in depth each and every day,
11:25
Speaker 1: and that's the Hunter Biden story. Uh. There is more
11:28
Speaker 1: and more coming out on this, and my concern is
11:31
Speaker 1: is that he's going to get away with this, which
11:33
Speaker 1: means Joe Biden gets away with this. If Republicans do
11:37
Speaker 1: gain control of the House and Senate, are you guys
11:39
Speaker 1: prepared to actually go all in? I mean, we know
11:42
Speaker 1: about the one hundred and fifty bank you know warnings
11:47
Speaker 1: that came right with his bank accounts where they're flagging
11:49
Speaker 1: his bank acounts for transactions that they look like a
11:52
Speaker 1: legal activity that we're with bad actors around the world.
11:56
Speaker 1: We now know that Joe Biden lied to us, can
11:59
Speaker 1: constantly lied to us when he said he knew nothing
12:02
Speaker 1: about his son's business dealings. His calendar clearly shows that
12:05
Speaker 1: every time his son was getting a deal done, he
12:08
Speaker 1: met with his dad afterwards to make sure everybody was online,
12:11
Speaker 1: everybody knew what was going on. We've seen more and
12:14
Speaker 1: more come out when it evolves around Hunter buyding the
12:17
Speaker 1: legal activity, and now we're even talking about more charges
12:20
Speaker 1: possibly against him. But it's really Hunter Biden doesn't get
12:24
Speaker 1: any of that's done without Joe Biden's involvement. And then
12:26
Speaker 1: it's almost million barrels of world that we sold to
12:29
Speaker 1: a Chinese energy company that apparently, based on the financial
12:32
Speaker 1: records in China still clearly show that Hunter Biden is
12:36
Speaker 1: an investor in this company. How is that not an
12:40
Speaker 1: impeachable offense? It certainly is. And I think that the
12:45
Speaker 1: Democrats have demonstrated their willingness to stop at nothing to
12:49
Speaker 1: try to destroy our previous president, and they've laid the
12:52
Speaker 1: path for the demise of Joe Biden. His son certainly
12:55
Speaker 1: has been the one that has created the criminal environment
12:58
Speaker 1: his brother, criminal family enterprise. Now, Joe Biden's been in politics,
13:03
Speaker 1: he's been a politician for for four decades. Yet somehow
13:06
Speaker 1: he's got the wealth to have a mansion on the
13:08
Speaker 1: shore and all of this stuff. I mean, you know,
13:10
Speaker 1: Hunter said it in his in his communication with his daughter,
13:13
Speaker 1: Remember when he said that at least you know, I
13:15
Speaker 1: don't make you pay me half of what I make
13:17
Speaker 1: um what you make like pop makes me ya. You
13:21
Speaker 1: know the big guy who gets ten percent of everything.
13:23
Speaker 1: We all know who the guy is. This is not
13:25
Speaker 1: something news in the American public, but I think what's
13:27
Speaker 1: unfolding here is the depth of the criminal enterprise of
13:31
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and his crew. And as we find out
13:34
Speaker 1: the involvement of the Biden family in China, it really
13:37
Speaker 1: leads you to question, you know, why is it that
13:40
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has gone so soft on China. He goes
13:42
Speaker 1: over to Saudi Arabia, he insults the royal family. We're
13:46
Speaker 1: going to make them a pry in state. He says
13:48
Speaker 1: this is because he's concerned about human rights. There's been
13:52
Speaker 1: no greater violator of human rights than the Chinese. Look
13:55
Speaker 1: at what they've done with the weaker population there, and
13:57
Speaker 1: Joe Biden remains largely silent on all of this caltown
14:01
Speaker 1: to China, as you said earlier, making us ever more
14:03
Speaker 1: dependent on China with respect of this Green New Deal.
14:07
Speaker 1: And you know they've got deep, deep financial ties to
14:11
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party that continues to emerge with the
14:14
Speaker 1: story of Hunter Biden. So I think the Republicans are
14:17
Speaker 1: going to be well positioned to come right after Hunter
14:20
Speaker 1: Biden and his father, Joe. None of this would be
14:22
Speaker 1: happening were it not for the political office that Hunter
14:25
Speaker 1: Biden's father holds. This is all about paying for access.
14:28
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. Well, and that's what
14:30
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you. I don't even think
14:32
Speaker 1: this is was ever legitimate business deals. I think this
14:36
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent pay to play, and the only
14:39
Speaker 1: people that were willing to pay to play in this
14:42
Speaker 1: way would be shady and bad actors. No legitimate businessman
14:46
Speaker 1: is going to hire Hunter Biden and do million or
14:48
Speaker 1: ten million, or a hundred million or billion dollars loan deals.
14:51
Speaker 1: This was Russian oligarchs. This was people in Colombia, people
14:55
Speaker 1: in Mexico, people around the world that were bad actors
14:59
Speaker 1: people and Ukraine with Barisma. I mean, these weren't business deals.
15:03
Speaker 1: This was paying for access to America and paying for
15:08
Speaker 1: access to the vice president and now the president. And
15:11
Speaker 1: they're still apparently not afraid to do favors. And it's
15:14
Speaker 1: almost like they're saying, hey, we know our time's coming
15:16
Speaker 1: to an end. We're not going to be held accountable
15:19
Speaker 1: for this. Certainly not Joe Biden based on age. Even
15:21
Speaker 1: if this all comes coming down, give the oil of
15:24
Speaker 1: your company in China, we don't care. At this point.
15:26
Speaker 1: It's almost just deliberate in my opinion. Yeah, Ben, you're right,
15:31
Speaker 1: certainly does look deliberate, But you know, it's it's interesting.
15:35
Speaker 1: I had Jennifer Granholm, who's the Secretary of Energy in
15:38
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, for me and one of my committees,
15:40
Speaker 1: and I just asked her simple question. You know, she's
15:42
Speaker 1: a secretary of Energy. I said, do you know Hunter Biden? Yes?
15:45
Speaker 1: She said I know him. I said, well, have you
15:47
Speaker 1: consulted Hunter Biden on energy policy? He's obviously an expert
15:50
Speaker 1: of Barisma is willing to pay him, you know, a
15:52
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. No, No, we don't consult with
15:55
Speaker 1: hundred Biden on an energy policy. Again, it's just you know,
15:59
Speaker 1: another point of roof that he doesn't know anything about
16:02
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's just as you say, it's pay to
16:04
Speaker 1: play and the Biden family or expert at this. It's
16:07
Speaker 1: a criminal enterprise and we'll get to the bottom of it.
16:11
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this after November at Center. I
16:14
Speaker 1: appreciate your time as always coming on. We'll have you
16:16
Speaker 1: back again real soon and thanks for the update. We
16:19
Speaker 1: are now finding out that the American people are finally
16:22
Speaker 1: waking up. In fact, there's a new poll out that
16:25
Speaker 1: says the majority of voters now say that they do
16:29
Speaker 1: believe that President Joe Biden is very aware of Hunter
16:32
Speaker 1: Biden's overseas business dealings. Take a listen to part of
16:36
Speaker 1: this from Fox News Channel. As we are now seeing
16:39
Speaker 1: the tide finally turned the story which took years to
16:42
Speaker 1: get us to this point. Despite repeated denials from President
16:46
Speaker 1: Biden that he ever spoke to his son about Hunter's
16:49
Speaker 1: business dealings overseas, the New York Post is now reporting
16:52
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden met with his father at least thirty
16:55
Speaker 1: times at the White House or the Vice President's residence
16:58
Speaker 1: while Biden served as VP, with some of those sitdowns
17:02
Speaker 1: coming just days after Hunter returned from overseas business trips.
17:06
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Byron York. He's the chief political correspondent
17:08
Speaker 1: for the Washington Examiner and a Fox News contributor. Is
17:11
Speaker 1: a Byron you know, we've heard from the White House
17:13
Speaker 1: over and over and over again that presidents never dealt
17:17
Speaker 1: with his son, it's not been involved in his overseas
17:19
Speaker 1: business dealings. But this is starting to look a lot
17:22
Speaker 1: more suspect. Absolutely, Remember, the Hunter Biden story is always
17:27
Speaker 1: really a Joe Biden story, and the question is did
17:31
Speaker 1: President Biden really not know about his son's business dealings
17:36
Speaker 1: as the President has said? As the President has said, yes,
17:41
Speaker 1: he lied, and we now all know that he lied
17:44
Speaker 1: about it. And that's exactly why the majority of American
17:47
Speaker 1: voters believe that President Joe Biden was clearly aware and
17:53
Speaker 1: a Hunter Biden's shady overseas business dealings. And this isn't
17:56
Speaker 1: business dealings. I'm tired of calling them at this is
17:59
Speaker 1: this is a legal activity. This is what criminals do.
18:03
Speaker 1: This is a criminal enterprise. And people in the poll
18:08
Speaker 1: also said they believe that they even profited from these deals.
18:12
Speaker 1: According to a new poll release today, the Rats Muse
18:16
Speaker 1: and Reports survey also showed that a whopping fifty five
18:20
Speaker 1: percent of voters say they are now closely are they
18:23
Speaker 1: are now quote closely following the reported Hunter Biden laptop story,
18:28
Speaker 1: meaning that people are angry now? Why are they angry
18:31
Speaker 1: right now? And we need to take a step back
18:33
Speaker 1: and understand the context of why, all of a sudden
18:36
Speaker 1: are people actually giving a care. It is because the
18:39
Speaker 1: American people are hurting. It is because of the high
18:43
Speaker 1: gas prices. It is because mortgage demand has dropped to
18:47
Speaker 1: a twenty two year low as higher interest rates and
18:49
Speaker 1: inflation are now crushing home buyers. It is because of
18:54
Speaker 1: another headline that has just come out and it says
18:57
Speaker 1: US housing market could be headed for a total will
19:00
Speaker 1: melt down. Economists are warning this is why people now care.
19:03
Speaker 1: You can get away with murder and politics. If life
19:07
Speaker 1: is good, you really can. You can get away with murder.
19:10
Speaker 1: You can do things that people would say. There's no
19:13
Speaker 1: way that people are gonna go out to happen. If
19:15
Speaker 1: people are happy, if people are content, if people's lives
19:20
Speaker 1: are good, they don't really care as much and they
19:22
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to what you are doing. It's the
19:25
Speaker 1: reason why Congress has was able to make millions, actually
19:29
Speaker 1: billions of dollars insider trading. And when the rest of
19:32
Speaker 1: the economy was good, no one really cared. Now people
19:37
Speaker 1: care that Nancy Pelosi and people care that her husband
19:41
Speaker 1: are making insane business deals, making incredible amounts to many
19:44
Speaker 1: They actually do care. They care about all of this
19:49
Speaker 1: right now because they're hurting. Now the White House has
19:55
Speaker 1: come out and they know that you're hurting. But they're
19:57
Speaker 1: doubling down again. They are bubbling down on what they
20:02
Speaker 1: say is the number one initiative that they have to
20:04
Speaker 1: be a part of, and that number one initiative is
20:09
Speaker 1: climate change. They're not talking about inflation, they're talking about
20:12
Speaker 1: climate change. And the Present's gonna use executive actions this
20:15
Speaker 1: week to say, see all these hot temperatures in the world,
20:18
Speaker 1: pay attention to this, and we're gonna fix it somehow,
20:20
Speaker 1: even though we're not gonna fix it, but we're gonna
20:22
Speaker 1: fix it. And that's what we're going to focus on
20:24
Speaker 1: because people are obviously looking at the other big issue now.
20:29
Speaker 1: The article goes on to say, or I should say,
20:32
Speaker 1: the poll goes on to say that sixty two percent
20:35
Speaker 1: of voters believe the present benefited financially from the first
20:41
Speaker 1: son's business relationships in China, including forty four percent now
20:47
Speaker 1: who say it's very likely. The only reason why they
20:50
Speaker 1: care now is because they're hurting and this man is
20:52
Speaker 1: clearly doing things and making policies that are hurting them.
20:57
Speaker 1: Sixty nine percent reject the present's assertion that he doesn't
21:00
Speaker 1: talk to his son about business. Almost seventy percent folks
21:05
Speaker 1: and forty nine percent say the president is very likely
21:08
Speaker 1: that he very likely knew, and just twenty two percent
21:11
Speaker 1: think he was unaware of his son's business relationships. Now,
21:14
Speaker 1: you're always going to get in the twenty percent range
21:16
Speaker 1: because there's psychotic liberals on the left who will refuse
21:19
Speaker 1: to ever admit that the Democratic Party or Joe Biden
21:23
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden could have ever done anything wrong. In fact,
21:25
Speaker 1: you can even get convictions of Joe and Hunter Biden
21:28
Speaker 1: in and have him removed from office, and you'd still
21:31
Speaker 1: probably have twenty percent of the Democrats out there that
21:33
Speaker 1: say he should not have been impeaches, should not been
21:35
Speaker 1: taken out of obvious he did nothing wrong. So understand
21:38
Speaker 1: twenty percent if you're at twenty two percent that are,
21:41
Speaker 1: and that just twenty two percent of the Democrats are
21:44
Speaker 1: of general voters. I should say that think that Hunter
21:47
Speaker 1: Biden and Joe Biden were unaware of the relationships and business.
21:50
Speaker 1: That tells you how bad this is. Right now. Now,
21:53
Speaker 1: here's the other one that is shocking. Not to me,
21:56
Speaker 1: it's about time I say it, but it's shocking to
21:58
Speaker 1: the rest of the political world. A majority fifty six
22:02
Speaker 1: percent believe Hunter Biden will not be prosecuted. Now, that number,
22:07
Speaker 1: right there is the one that makes people angry. When
22:09
Speaker 1: you're hurting and you're paying high prices at the pump,
22:13
Speaker 1: and you're paying for a higher cost of living at
22:15
Speaker 1: food and gas and inflation, and you can't buy a
22:17
Speaker 1: house right now because the interest rates are too high
22:19
Speaker 1: and all of these things are happening right now, can't
22:22
Speaker 1: afford a house note and you're struggling. Now, back to
22:24
Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck. All the people that were loving life
22:28
Speaker 1: right under Donald Trump, and they were successful and they
22:32
Speaker 1: had their bills paid, and then they got into the
22:34
Speaker 1: woke world of oh, well, he's a bad guy and
22:36
Speaker 1: he tweets bad things. Notice, now they don't get they
22:38
Speaker 1: don't care anymore, and fifty six percent of Americans now
22:42
Speaker 1: believe the game is rigged. Why because they're actually paying
22:44
Speaker 1: attention because their lives are hurting. The New York Post,
22:47
Speaker 1: which broke the story about Hunter biden suspicious business relationships
22:50
Speaker 1: in Ukraine in China in a series of expose is
22:53
Speaker 1: beginning all the way back in October of twenty twenty,
22:55
Speaker 1: reported on Saturday the First Sun met with his Zen
22:59
Speaker 1: Vice president father at least thirty times after returning from
23:02
Speaker 1: overseas business trips between O eight and sixteen. The information,
23:06
Speaker 1: like the articles from October, came directly from Hunter Biden's
23:12
Speaker 1: abandoned laptop that he left at the Delaware computer repair shop.
23:16
Speaker 1: Sixty two percent of voters police President Biden benefited financially
23:19
Speaker 1: from Hunter Biden's relationships in communist China. That is a
23:23
Speaker 1: massive number, unbelievably huge number. The polls are turning and
23:29
Speaker 1: people are understanding it. The polls are pretty accurate on
23:33
Speaker 1: this one now. The Post reporting on Saturday raised questions
23:37
Speaker 1: about where the father and son were purposely and directly
23:43
Speaker 1: involved in the entire scheme to make money. Because Hunter
23:47
Speaker 1: Biden was relaying messages from his overseas clients directly to
23:51
Speaker 1: his father. They weren't doing business with Hunter Biden. They
23:53
Speaker 1: were doing business with Joe Biden. They were doing business
23:55
Speaker 1: with the American government through Joe Biden, and they were
23:57
Speaker 1: trying to gain favor and get deal is done. This
24:01
Speaker 1: isn't legitimate business, by the way, This is what cartels do.
24:05
Speaker 1: This is what oh lgarks do. This is not This
24:09
Speaker 1: is not legitimate business. This is corruption. Hunter Biden's personal
24:13
Speaker 1: calendar obtained from the laptop showed that Eric Squaire and
24:16
Speaker 1: the president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment firm that
24:19
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden helped co found, is listed as attending twenty
24:22
Speaker 1: one of the thirty one meetings that he had with
24:24
Speaker 1: the Vice President Joe Biden. A report in The Post
24:28
Speaker 1: on July the second, based on documents found in the
24:31
Speaker 1: computer's hard drive, show that it contain an extensive list
24:34
Speaker 1: of contexts for US government officials involved with overseas relationships
24:38
Speaker 1: between US and China, including a number a number of
24:41
Speaker 1: Google executives. The report said the government officials would have
24:45
Speaker 1: been well positioned to help Hunter Biden with his business
24:48
Speaker 1: dealings in China while his father was Vice president in
24:50
Speaker 1: the Obama administration between O eight and sixteen. The Post
24:54
Speaker 1: reporting shows that Hunter Biden and his father have been
24:56
Speaker 1: involved in China for years. Hunter Biden comedy his father
25:00
Speaker 1: on Air Force two. When President Joe Biden visited Beijing
25:03
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen for a visit with the Chinese leader,
25:05
Speaker 1: g don't worry. They didn't talk about business, right, No,
25:09
Speaker 1: of course not. The older Biden was looking to quote,
25:13
Speaker 1: de escalate tensions in the South China Sea. But the
25:15
Speaker 1: younger Biden was on there on the plane looking for
25:18
Speaker 1: the next big payday, paying a visit to Jonathan Lee,
25:22
Speaker 1: a Chinese financier who ran the private equity firm bah Capital.
25:27
Speaker 1: In fact, he even managed to range a handshake between
25:30
Speaker 1: Lee and the sitting Vice president. Still, the White House,
25:34
Speaker 1: of course, has maintained that the President does not discuss
25:36
Speaker 1: business deals with his son, even though it's clearly clear.
25:41
Speaker 1: It is so clear, right, it's abundantly clear that that's
25:45
Speaker 1: a lie. President Biden inadvertently financed Hunter Biden's escapades with
25:52
Speaker 1: a Russian link escort ring. According to a new report.
25:55
Speaker 1: As well, the President has said that he never spoke
25:58
Speaker 1: with his son about his overseas business. Is that still
26:01
Speaker 1: the case. That's what Fox News correspondent Peter Ducey asked
26:05
Speaker 1: White House Presecretary Jensaki back in April at the Daily
26:08
Speaker 1: White House Briefings, and she responded with yes, reiterating the
26:12
Speaker 1: presidents twenty nineteen claim that quote he had never spoken
26:16
Speaker 1: with a sound about his overseas business dealings. We know
26:18
Speaker 1: that to lie. Now we have a voice about to
26:19
Speaker 1: prove that from the President. The US Attorney in Delaware
26:25
Speaker 1: obviously can't look the other way any longer. With the
26:27
Speaker 1: investigation of Hunter Biden for tax fraud stemming from the
26:30
Speaker 1: lucrative payments he received from foreign businesses, and Republicans Senator
26:34
Speaker 1: Chuck Grouseley of Iowa and Ron Johnson Wisconsin are now
26:37
Speaker 1: heading up probes into the Sun's business dealings in China
26:40
Speaker 1: and Ukraine. In fact, a number of Republicans have also
26:43
Speaker 1: said they would launch investigations into Biden if they retake
26:46
Speaker 1: control of Congress in November. The midterm elections, House GOP
26:50
Speaker 1: conference chair told The Post that in recent reporting on
26:54
Speaker 1: the meetings between Hunter Biden's father must quote unquote be examined,
26:58
Speaker 1: saying Harley, a day goes by without another revelation about
27:01
Speaker 1: how intimately involved Joe Biden was with his son Hunter
27:04
Speaker 1: Biden's corrupt foreign business dealings. The fact that Joe was
27:08
Speaker 1: in meetings with senior foreign leaders on behalf of Hunter
27:12
Speaker 1: and as business associates while the vice president further proves
27:16
Speaker 1: that Joe has been lying to the American people from
27:18
Speaker 1: since day one. And that's exactly why the polls are
27:21
Speaker 1: now turning. What I know now, and this is what
27:25
Speaker 1: I've been telling you now for months, is that the
27:28
Speaker 1: American people are finally getting to see and hear because
27:32
Speaker 1: so many of you have been activated to share these stories.
27:35
Speaker 1: It's not the media that's telling these stories, right. The
27:37
Speaker 1: media today is selling us on climate change, and the
27:41
Speaker 1: media today is selling us that the President United's America
27:43
Speaker 1: is doing an amazing job stopping climate change with these
27:46
Speaker 1: new executive actions, and he may even declare a state
27:49
Speaker 1: of emergency on climate change because the high temperatures. The
27:53
Speaker 1: entire administration is out there day trying to save the
27:56
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America by coming out
28:00
Speaker 1: there and telling you, don't look over here at this
28:02
Speaker 1: story with Hunter Biden. Don't believe what you're hearing on
28:05
Speaker 1: the internet. Don't believe what you're hearing from conservative leaders.
28:09
Speaker 1: You need to understand that we're trying to save you
28:11
Speaker 1: from literally burning to death, and it may cost you
28:14
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Right. You may go broke in
28:16
Speaker 1: the process of going green, which is a real chance,
28:19
Speaker 1: real probability now, but you need to do it because
28:22
Speaker 1: we are going to save your life. You just don't
28:24
Speaker 1: realize how important it is that we're saving your life. Right.
28:26
Speaker 1: This is a constant theme that we are getting, specifically
28:31
Speaker 1: from this White House. Now, are they going to back down? No,
28:37
Speaker 1: no chance. Take a listen to this conversation this morning
28:42
Speaker 1: on inflation as experts are now looking at just how
28:45
Speaker 1: bad things are getting. Former president of Cke Restaurants and
28:49
Speaker 1: current visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation. That sounds like
28:53
Speaker 1: quite a title, Andy Puskar transits from Michigan. Andy, good
28:56
Speaker 1: morning to you, Steve. Could you see it? You know?
29:00
Speaker 1: Apparently yes, according to our White House correspondent, yesterday was
29:03
Speaker 1: the first time they started talking about it being transitory.
29:06
Speaker 1: You know, all of his economists, the President's economists, said
29:09
Speaker 1: this is just a bump of the road. Well, you
29:11
Speaker 1: know what, here we are a year later. That wasn't
29:14
Speaker 1: a bump that's amount more on right now. Yeah, they
29:17
Speaker 1: really should just admit that they're they're spending. They spend
29:20
Speaker 1: too much money. They enacted at one point nine trillion
29:22
Speaker 1: dollars spending spree at the beginning of March of twenty
29:25
Speaker 1: twenty one, right after we took office, and inflation surge
29:29
Speaker 1: that month. They ought to just come out and say, look,
29:32
Speaker 1: we spent, we spend too much money. There's too much
29:34
Speaker 1: money out there. We're not going to solve this problem.
29:37
Speaker 1: We're going to try and encourage businesses to grow. We're
29:40
Speaker 1: going to cut back on a regulation. We're going to
29:41
Speaker 1: encourage domestic energy production, get those gas prices down, and
29:45
Speaker 1: the Fed is going to be increasing interest rates to
29:47
Speaker 1: try and quell the demand that's out there. But rather
29:50
Speaker 1: than that, they keep trying to make these ridiculous excuses
29:53
Speaker 1: that I don't know anybody could pay any attention to
29:56
Speaker 1: anything they say anymore. You can how many times can
29:58
Speaker 1: you lie to us and you know, do it with
30:00
Speaker 1: a straight face. I don't know why they continue on
30:03
Speaker 1: this track. They how to just admit that they caused
30:05
Speaker 1: this problem. It was a mistake. Larry Summer said, if
30:08
Speaker 1: you passed this bill, inflation will surge. Well, they passed
30:11
Speaker 1: it in inflation surge. It's not like they weren't warned.
30:15
Speaker 1: They just not need to fix the problem and start
30:17
Speaker 1: start trying to make excuses for it. Stop trying to
30:20
Speaker 1: make excuses for it. Right, they spend all this money
30:22
Speaker 1: inflations through the roof. What are you doing today? Wow,
30:25
Speaker 1: we're going to declare a national emergency or we're at
30:28
Speaker 1: least going to use executive orders to do that. All
30:31
Speaker 1: of this, they say, is in wake of Joe Mansion's
30:33
Speaker 1: announcement that he won't vote for a bill addressing climate
30:36
Speaker 1: change unless inflation slows next month. Climate leaders are calling
30:40
Speaker 1: for the President to just go around Congress to declare
30:43
Speaker 1: climate change a national emergency, and it appears that the
30:46
Speaker 1: White House is seriously considering it. They may not do
30:48
Speaker 1: it this week, but they're seriously considering it. Why because
30:52
Speaker 1: you don't have to go through Congress to do this.
30:55
Speaker 1: What would a formal decoration do well? It would open
30:57
Speaker 1: up new powers and new possibilities for quote, unilateral action
31:03
Speaker 1: by the executive branch to combat climate change, including halting
31:07
Speaker 1: Listen carefully and imagine what this would do to your
31:12
Speaker 1: prices of everything. It would halt US exports of crude
31:17
Speaker 1: oil and halt all offshore drilling. Biden could even redirect
31:22
Speaker 1: military funding to the construction of renewable energy projects, much
31:27
Speaker 1: as former President Donald Trump diverted more than eighteen billion
31:30
Speaker 1: in Pentagon funding to build the wall on the US
31:33
Speaker 1: border with Mexico, which was important for a national security
31:38
Speaker 1: and impose trade penalties on countries that permit defortification. Not
31:43
Speaker 1: kidding this is what they're focused on, such as the
31:46
Speaker 1: destruction of the Amazon rainforests in Brazil. Now, such a
31:50
Speaker 1: creative use of the relevant federal law would also undoubtedly
31:53
Speaker 1: trigger massive lawsuits from fossil fuel companies and other Republican
31:58
Speaker 1: leaders in state represent senatives and state attorney generals, it
32:03
Speaker 1: would say. A Monday evening, Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat Oregon
32:10
Speaker 1: and Sheldon white House, Democrat, rode out and held a
32:13
Speaker 1: press conference asked Biden to explore a range of actions
32:16
Speaker 1: to reduce climate pollution. They obviously did this knowing the
32:19
Speaker 1: President was going to react this week. Many of these,
32:22
Speaker 1: such as using the Defense Protection Act, could build up
32:25
Speaker 1: quote domestic clean energy manufacturing capacity quicker than already. It's happening,
32:30
Speaker 1: they said, and they send it's time for us to
32:32
Speaker 1: make sure we get this done. Quote. There's probably nothing
32:36
Speaker 1: more important they want you to believe this. There is
32:40
Speaker 1: probably nothing more important to our nation and for our
32:43
Speaker 1: world than for the United States to drive a bold,
32:46
Speaker 1: energetic transition and its energy economy from fossil fuels to
32:50
Speaker 1: renewable energy, the senator said. In the statement last night,
32:54
Speaker 1: they said, because of the record breaking heatwave in the
32:57
Speaker 1: western US and in Europe, Center Merkley argue that climate
33:01
Speaker 1: change is no longer a future threat, but an already
33:05
Speaker 1: unfolding disaster that we must stop. My state is in crisis.
33:11
Speaker 1: We have massive droughts, so destroying our farmers. It's affecting
33:15
Speaker 1: our forests. We have the red zone where the pipe
33:19
Speaker 1: excuse me, where the pine beetles are killing the pine trees.
33:23
Speaker 1: We have the forest fires, and we have a huge
33:25
Speaker 1: impact on our fishing, both in our streams and offshore.
33:28
Speaker 1: The Center set. The most dramatic opinion that Merkley and
33:33
Speaker 1: once Biden to make is to declare a national emergency
33:35
Speaker 1: on climate Ah, you don't think all this was pre planned,
33:40
Speaker 1: The Washington Post reported. The White House is indeed considering
33:42
Speaker 1: to do so. Later last night. Yeah, so just having
33:46
Speaker 1: to come out and say that, yeah, we're considering it. Quote,
33:48
Speaker 1: the President made it clear that the Senate doesn't act
33:50
Speaker 1: to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen our domestic clean
33:53
Speaker 1: energy industry, we will a White House official set and statement.
33:56
Speaker 1: We are considering all options and no decision has been
33:59
Speaker 1: made yet, right, Okay, I believe you. Well, then we
34:04
Speaker 1: find out the President's going to send out the team
34:06
Speaker 1: to get on TV and tell us how bad things
34:08
Speaker 1: are and why we must do this now. He sent
34:12
Speaker 1: out all the big guns today to do the big interviews.
34:18
Speaker 1: Secretary of Transportation may repeat to the science is unambiguous.
34:21
Speaker 1: We're running out of time when it comes to climate change.
34:23
Speaker 1: Therefore we must act now, regardless of what it does
34:26
Speaker 1: to our economy. He said, that's on seeing NBC listen. So, Secretary,
34:30
Speaker 1: I have kind of a philosophical question about about how
34:33
Speaker 1: we approach things in terms of dealing with emissions and
34:40
Speaker 1: dealing with trying to trying to cut down on the
34:43
Speaker 1: use of fossil fuels, and how we deal with what
34:46
Speaker 1: Europe might be facing. And what I mean by that
34:49
Speaker 1: is there are real possibilities that people might not have
34:54
Speaker 1: air conditioning during a heat wave or in the in
34:57
Speaker 1: the winter, that they may not have enough energy to
35:01
Speaker 1: heat their to heat their homes at this point, now,
35:05
Speaker 1: the mitigation factors that we're employing to try to cut
35:10
Speaker 1: down on emissions, those really aren't going to cut CEO
35:13
Speaker 1: to emissions still probably two thousand and thirty. And while
35:17
Speaker 1: we're dealing with these, we've got India building coal plants,
35:21
Speaker 1: We've got China building coal plants just hand over fist
35:24
Speaker 1: and emitting and not really helping our efforts whatsoever. When
35:30
Speaker 1: wind and solar won't power the homes in Europe, how
35:35
Speaker 1: do we not use hydrocarbons to make sure that near
35:39
Speaker 1: term these people aren't either freezing or dying from the heat.
35:42
Speaker 1: It seems like a real quandary at this point to
35:46
Speaker 1: try to do these to near term, try to do
35:49
Speaker 1: these things when near term we need power, we need energy.
35:53
Speaker 1: And by the way, CNBC's point, they're making their spot
35:55
Speaker 1: on right, how can you possibly basically be this stupid
35:59
Speaker 1: is kind of how they're saying it, right. How can
36:02
Speaker 1: you be this dumb? How can you be this incompetent? Right?
36:07
Speaker 1: How can you be this stupid to think that right now?
36:12
Speaker 1: When people could literally die because of your actions. Right,
36:15
Speaker 1: that people could literally die because of your obsession with
36:19
Speaker 1: green alternative energy, where people are desperate for power and energy.
36:24
Speaker 1: You're moving forward with the project that's only going to
36:26
Speaker 1: make things exponentially worse. How can you justify this and
36:31
Speaker 1: tell exactly why? Because they don't give a crap about you.
36:33
Speaker 1: That's how they can justify it. They honestly, I think,
36:36
Speaker 1: don't care if people die in the process of them
36:41
Speaker 1: pushing their green new religion. This is why fifty five
36:46
Speaker 1: percent of voters say they're closely watching the reporting about
36:49
Speaker 1: the hunter by laptop. This is why sixty two percent
36:52
Speaker 1: of voters believe the president benefited financially from his son's
36:55
Speaker 1: business relationship, specifically in China. This wine forty four percent
37:01
Speaker 1: say it's very likely, and it's why seventy percent sixty
37:05
Speaker 1: nine percent to be exact, Basically, seven out of ten
37:08
Speaker 1: Americans reject the president's assertion that he doesn't or hasn't
37:12
Speaker 1: or doesn't currently talk with his son about his business
37:16
Speaker 1: dealings because there's no way the son has any of
37:18
Speaker 1: these business opportunities, right, these corruption opportunities without his dad
37:22
Speaker 1: being involved. Forty nine percent say the President very likely
37:26
Speaker 1: knew what was going on the entire time, and only
37:30
Speaker 1: twenty two percent, which is exactly what I would expect.
37:33
Speaker 1: There's certain people that will never accept reality, right, will
37:37
Speaker 1: never accept the facts. Twenty two percent of liberal Democrats,
37:41
Speaker 1: or I should just say Americans think that the president
37:44
Speaker 1: was unaware of his son's business relationships. Now, the part
37:47
Speaker 1: of this poll that I go back to that means
37:50
Speaker 1: more to me than anything else is the fact that
37:53
Speaker 1: the American people seem to be getting angry right now
37:56
Speaker 1: at the corruption in this administration. When fifty six percent
38:01
Speaker 1: of Americans, a majority of Americans believe the Hunter Biden
38:03
Speaker 1: will not be prosecuted, that tells you not only are
38:06
Speaker 1: they paying attention, but they're pretty angry. Right. They do
38:10
Speaker 1: believe that there is some sort of double standard here.
38:15
Speaker 1: They believe that there is two sets of rules, one
38:19
Speaker 1: for them and another for the Bidens. Make sure, by
