Harris Pitches Communist Style Plans for American Voters · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Well, after waiting for weeks and weeks from Kamala Harris,
0:05
Speaker 1: who has been in hiding, we now have some of
0:09
Speaker 1: her agenda.
0:11
Speaker 2: Where did she find it?
0:12
Speaker 1: Apparently from the USSR and places like you know, Venezuela.
0:19
Speaker 1: She is now announced a socialist price control idea fresh
0:26
Speaker 1: out of the Soviet Union and Venezuela to sell the
0:30
Speaker 1: American people on lowering the.
0:32
Speaker 2: Prices of food.
0:34
Speaker 1: Now, I'm going to play for you what Comrade Kamala
0:37
Speaker 1: had to say, but let me say this first. Please
0:41
Speaker 1: take our podcast and share this because we're going to
0:44
Speaker 1: give you all of the history and the facts on
0:47
Speaker 1: socialism and what they did in the USSR and what
0:52
Speaker 1: happens to supply chains when it comes to food when
0:54
Speaker 1: you do these type of government regulations.
0:58
Speaker 2: Share it everywhere.
0:59
Speaker 1: Now, let me just give you some of the headlines
1:03
Speaker 1: that have been written by the liberal media after other
1:07
Speaker 1: countries have done what Kamala Harris is proposing for the
1:12
Speaker 1: United States of America. CNN Business had this headline when
1:16
Speaker 1: it came to France.
1:18
Speaker 2: France announces more food.
1:20
Speaker 1: Price caps, takes aim at multi national firms.
1:25
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal.
1:26
Speaker 1: Russia imposes anti hoarding price control measures on food. Another
1:33
Speaker 1: headline from CNN, Think corporate greed is the leading cause
1:37
Speaker 1: of inflation. Think Again then writes an article about what
1:42
Speaker 1: happens with all of these issues with mandating prices on food.
1:48
Speaker 1: Another one, Chavez threatens to jail price control violators with
1:54
Speaker 1: Venezuelan food shortages, some blame price controls. Another headline Newsweek,
2:00
Speaker 1: the high cost of price controls. Bahamas to introduce price
2:05
Speaker 1: controls on dozens of key food staples as major shortages
2:09
Speaker 1: hit the island.
2:11
Speaker 2: Here's another one from CNN.
2:13
Speaker 1: China imposes price controls to save off inflation. Reuters corporate
2:18
Speaker 1: greed not to blame for price pressures. FED study shows
2:22
Speaker 1: the Associated press. North Korea wants more control over farming
2:28
Speaker 1: amid food shortage taking from their citizens. Now, those are
2:35
Speaker 1: just some of the headlines that have been written after
2:38
Speaker 1: different places. Do what Kamala Harris is now wanting to
2:41
Speaker 1: do in America, it's never been successful by the road way.
2:45
Speaker 1: Reuters had this headline, Cuban government imposes price controls as
2:49
Speaker 1: it seeks to keep lid On out of control inflation.
2:53
Speaker 1: Price control forced Venezuelans to turn to the black market
2:59
Speaker 1: for milk and toilet paper. Here's another one, food fight
3:05
Speaker 1: and the failure of price controls. Food prices cap will
3:09
Speaker 1: not make a difference. Retailers say this coming from Europe
3:13
Speaker 1: with the BBC. China imposes price controls as citizens look
3:19
Speaker 1: desperately for food.
3:20
Speaker 2: And here's another one.
3:22
Speaker 1: Venezuela sets new price controls with eggs costing more than
3:25
Speaker 1: a month's wages in Venezuela.
3:29
Speaker 2: It's very clear that this is not working.
3:32
Speaker 1: It's very clear that this has been a disaster everywhere
3:36
Speaker 1: that it's been imposed.
3:38
Speaker 2: So why did Kamwa Harris do it?
3:40
Speaker 1: She did it because this is what she believes in
3:43
Speaker 1: that the government should have total control over everything. There
3:47
Speaker 1: was even an article that was written at CNN and
3:51
Speaker 1: here is the headline. Should the government control the price
3:53
Speaker 1: of food and gas? This is something that she's proposed.
3:57
Speaker 1: What did they say about it at the time. Well,
4:00
Speaker 1: take a listen to this.
4:04
Speaker 3: Despite a cold December, inflation was red hot. Consumer prices
4:09
Speaker 3: grew at the fastest annual pace since nineteen eighty two,
4:13
Speaker 3: seven percent year over year and up point five percent
4:17
Speaker 3: last month.
4:18
Speaker 2: Who can budget? You just have to pay the price.
4:21
Speaker 3: Americans on average paying about two hundred and fifty dollars
4:24
Speaker 3: more for the same things they were buying a year ago.
4:27
Speaker 3: Gas topping the charts, up nearly fifty percent from a
4:30
Speaker 3: year ago. Same for furniture up just over seventeen percent,
4:35
Speaker 3: and food up six point three percent.
4:37
Speaker 4: Well, what I used to buy, let's say last year,
4:40
Speaker 4: that would cost me around fifty dollars dollar week almost
4:43
Speaker 4: doubles right now.
4:45
Speaker 3: And at the pump price is soared to over four
4:48
Speaker 3: dollars a gallon in some states, prompting President Biden to
4:52
Speaker 3: release fifty million barrels of oil from the nation's Strategic
4:56
Speaker 3: Petroleum Reserve in November. Last month, gas prices drun zero
5:00
Speaker 3: point five percent. But for this lift driver, he's still
5:04
Speaker 3: burning through gas to find customers and burning a hole
5:07
Speaker 3: in his wallet.
5:09
Speaker 5: On this mobeusiness, you have to drive too many miles
5:12
Speaker 5: to make less money. You spend too much on gas.
5:15
Speaker 5: The gas is like double. Now you know what I
5:18
Speaker 5: used to buy is not double.
5:20
Speaker 3: And the higher prices are even scaring some drivers away.
5:24
Speaker 3: Tommy Hondros owns this gas station in Lower Manhattan and
5:28
Speaker 3: says he used to have a line of cars one.
5:31
Speaker 5: Hundred and fifty, not how many I have, no nothing,
5:35
Speaker 5: one it's insane.
5:37
Speaker 2: I used to have people come and fill up. Now
5:39
Speaker 2: they're just let me get five dollars, let me get
5:41
Speaker 2: I've seen two dollars on a vehicle.
5:45
Speaker 3: Used car sales rose by thirty seven percent year over
5:48
Speaker 3: year as there were less new cars coming to market.
5:52
Speaker 6: Court shutdown credit shortages of all kinds of things, from
5:55
Speaker 6: vehicles to lumber to clothing, and that causes prices to rise.
5:59
Speaker 3: And that trick go down to the cost of food.
6:02
Speaker 3: Groceries rose by six and a half percent.
6:05
Speaker 4: It's a constant rejuggling a budget to try to keep
6:08
Speaker 4: up with the food prices. Lately, meats especially are increasingly expensive.
6:13
Speaker 2: But let me just stop there.
6:16
Speaker 1: The reason why I played that is because I wanted
6:18
Speaker 1: you to understand what the American people are saying. They're
6:20
Speaker 1: saying this is insane, and this inflation was caused by Bidenomics.
6:27
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris very much a part of that.
6:30
Speaker 1: Now she's saying, let's just move to government control and
6:34
Speaker 1: then apparently everything will get better. I mean, I don't
6:41
Speaker 1: know what else to say, but you now have a
6:44
Speaker 1: woman running for the presidency who is saying, I want
6:49
Speaker 1: America to live like it is the USSR. She wants
6:54
Speaker 1: to go back to the style of government where the
6:57
Speaker 1: people are begging. Okay, where they're begging for food, they're
7:02
Speaker 1: begging for water, they're begging for toilet paper. Now she's saying, look,
7:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to cover the cost here. The problem is
7:10
Speaker 1: everyone knows this isn't going to work. Everyone who's tried it,
7:16
Speaker 1: it's been a failure because the immediately the black market happens,
7:20
Speaker 1: then people start getting arrested. Then the people that are
7:24
Speaker 1: being arrested for they say charging too much have to
7:28
Speaker 1: shut down their companies because they can't afford to raise
7:32
Speaker 1: their price because the government won't allow And then you
7:35
Speaker 1: have shortages to the point where in Venezuela, a dozen
7:39
Speaker 1: eggs is a month's salary.
7:41
Speaker 2: Right, this is a massive problem.
7:44
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing that I think is also
7:47
Speaker 1: very interesting. Even CNN is now saying that this is
7:53
Speaker 1: something that won't work. CNN, after she proposed it, came
7:59
Speaker 1: out and said they caused the problem. Now they're telling
8:02
Speaker 1: they want to fix the problem with communism and socialism.
8:07
Speaker 7: Listen, two things I think Number one, she had took
8:09
Speaker 7: a lot of far left positions during her first run
8:11
Speaker 7: in twenty nineteen twenty twenty, she has, you know, temporarily
8:15
Speaker 7: kind of moderated these through some anonymous quotes from AIDS saying, well,
8:18
Speaker 7: she doesn't really want to be in frackymore. She doesn't
8:20
Speaker 7: want to do this, doesn't want do that. This new
8:22
Speaker 7: program that she's me it is pretty far left. Twenty
8:24
Speaker 7: five thousand dollars price controlled essentially, that's number one. But
8:28
Speaker 7: the other thing is, you know, kind of conveniently forgot
8:31
Speaker 7: she was vice president for the last four years when
8:33
Speaker 7: a lot of the housing market crisis was at its worst,
8:35
Speaker 7: when inflation was at its worst, So.
8:37
Speaker 2: There's a lot of memory holding that.
8:40
Speaker 8: But look, when it comes to the twenty five k,
8:41
Speaker 8: I mean, you just added twenty five thousand dollars into
8:43
Speaker 8: every price on every home price in the country, because
8:47
Speaker 8: if you're giving that away essentially for free, people will
8:49
Speaker 8: add it into the price.
8:51
Speaker 1: By the way, what she's mentioning there, what he's mentioning
8:53
Speaker 1: there is that she also said, oh, by the way,
8:55
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you twenty five thousand dollars on
8:57
Speaker 1: the price of your first home. What with what money?
9:00
Speaker 1: Where is this coming from? That's what I want to know.
9:04
Speaker 1: Where is this coming from? Where are you getting all
9:07
Speaker 1: of this money? Well, she doesn't care where she gets
9:09
Speaker 1: it from. If she bankrupts Americans and raises their taxes,
9:13
Speaker 1: she controls your entire life. That is now where we are.
9:19
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I think she really screwed up
9:22
Speaker 1: on this one. When Kama's economic plan is total trash,
9:28
Speaker 1: to the point where CNN didn't just destroy it with
9:30
Speaker 1: a clip I played for your second ago. They then
9:32
Speaker 1: had other experts on and they said this after her speech.
9:36
Speaker 9: Listen, Catherine, I hear I read your piece, and I
9:40
Speaker 9: heard you just mention it, the federal ban on price
9:43
Speaker 9: gouging for groceries. You are skeptical of this, why.
9:48
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, nobody can explain what price gouging means.
9:52
Speaker 10: It's like that old line about pornography. I know it
9:56
Speaker 10: when I see it, in the sense that what does
9:59
Speaker 10: it mean to have in sessive price or an excessive
10:02
Speaker 10: profit margin that seems to be shorthand for a price
10:05
Speaker 10: or a profit margin that bugs me that seems too high.
10:10
Speaker 10: So you know, it's very hard to pin down what
10:12
Speaker 10: this would actually mean. If you look at the legislation that,
10:16
Speaker 10: as I mentioned, is already in the Senate led by
10:20
Speaker 10: Senator Senate Warren and Senator Bob Casey and a slew
10:24
Speaker 10: of others. The particular way that this is written, which
10:28
Speaker 10: is likely to be the template for any proposal that
10:31
Speaker 10: Harris would eventually embrace, is especially bad in that it
10:37
Speaker 10: just bans excessive prices, grossly excessive prices, grossly excessive profit margins,
10:43
Speaker 10: and says that the Federal Trade Commission can use any
10:46
Speaker 10: metric it deems appropriate to decide what that would would mean,
10:52
Speaker 10: which basically says like, it's not going to be markets.
10:55
Speaker 10: It's not going to be supply and demand that's determining
10:58
Speaker 10: how much your grocery or charges you for milk or
11:02
Speaker 10: for eggs. It's going to be some bureaucrat in DC,
11:05
Speaker 10: which seems like totally unworkable.
11:07
Speaker 11: First of all for.
11:09
Speaker 10: The FTC to deciding, like how much Kroger charges for
11:13
Speaker 10: eggs in Michigan, but it also would be very bad
11:17
Speaker 10: for markets. We've seen this kind of thing tried in
11:20
Speaker 10: lots of other countries before Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union,
11:25
Speaker 10: et cetera. It leads to shortages, it leads to black markets.
11:30
Speaker 10: You know, plenty of uncertainty and beyond that, the specific
11:36
Speaker 10: way this bill is written might actually increase prices because
11:40
Speaker 10: of some of the other language in it, things like
11:43
Speaker 10: requiring companies public companies to disclose in their quarterly reports,
11:48
Speaker 10: their quarterly earnings reports, how they're setting prices, which is
11:52
Speaker 10: a great way to help them collute, which normally we
11:55
Speaker 10: don't want them to do so. Anyway, you know, the
11:57
Speaker 10: devil's in the details. I guess for that bill, but
11:59
Speaker 10: it's really hard for me to imagine any form of
12:02
Speaker 10: legislation that preserves the spirit of what she's proposing that
12:07
Speaker 10: would not be you know, at best, do nothing, at worse,
12:11
Speaker 10: cause a lot of harm.
12:13
Speaker 2: I love how this is on CNN.
12:15
Speaker 1: We've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of
12:17
Speaker 1: other countries before Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union. It leads
12:22
Speaker 1: to shortages and would cause a lot of harm the
12:26
Speaker 1: black market.
12:26
Speaker 2: She says, right like.
12:28
Speaker 1: This is this is something that is not new. This
12:31
Speaker 1: is not a new idea. Everywhere it's been tried. Everywhere
12:37
Speaker 1: it's been tried, it has been a failure. Scott Jennings
12:41
Speaker 1: on CNN as well after this announcement, and again I
12:44
Speaker 1: play CNN because if CNN is telling you this is
12:47
Speaker 1: this is the most extreme form of communism, then you
12:52
Speaker 1: might want to wake up America and realize what she is.
12:55
Speaker 2: She's a She's a damn communist.
12:58
Speaker 12: Well, the first thing he needs to do, which he
13:00
Speaker 12: already doing and will continue to do and will ring
13:02
Speaker 12: true to voters, is continue to point out that all
13:05
Speaker 12: the conditions in the country that Kamala Harris is complaining about,
13:09
Speaker 12: with inflation, high rents, cost of living, that's all a
13:14
Speaker 12: direct result of the policies that she and Joe Biden implemented.
13:18
Speaker 12: So that's number one. You have to lay the blame
13:20
Speaker 12: where the blame goes, and it's right at her feet.
13:22
Speaker 12: You cannot allow her to pretend as though she is disconnected.
13:26
Speaker 12: Number Two, he needs a clear message on her plan.
13:29
Speaker 12: I mean, this is a p If you want product shortages,
13:32
Speaker 12: if you want black markets, if you love breadlines, if
13:35
Speaker 12: you love hoarding, and if you like, I don't know,
13:38
Speaker 12: communist style anarchy on the streets of America, this is
13:41
Speaker 12: the plan for you.
13:43
Speaker 2: This is not a serious plan.
13:44
Speaker 12: This is a set of pandering from someone who has
13:47
Speaker 12: no idea what they're doing and doesn't want to take
13:50
Speaker 12: responsibility of the problems they have caused. She wasn't merely
13:54
Speaker 12: a bystander. She casts votes that cause the inflation. He
13:58
Speaker 12: can't trust her to fix the inflationich that Donald Trump
14:01
Speaker 12: runs on, and I think the American people already believe that,
14:04
Speaker 12: so it ought to be pretty easy to sell.
14:06
Speaker 2: The point he made there.
14:07
Speaker 1: If you like shortages, you like breadlines, you like hoarding,
14:10
Speaker 1: you like black markets, you like total economic anarchy, then
14:14
Speaker 1: vote for Kamala Harris because that is what she is
14:18
Speaker 1: giving you right now now in this speech that she gave.
14:21
Speaker 1: I think it's very clear that she believes us. But
14:23
Speaker 1: let me go back in time to when she was
14:26
Speaker 1: just in California. Listen to what Kamala Harris said that
14:30
Speaker 1: she loved about being an elected official. This is how
14:35
Speaker 1: you know she's a damn communist for.
14:37
Speaker 13: What can be done in the state of California and
14:39
Speaker 13: by extension in the United States.
14:41
Speaker 2: And here's what we did. It was fabulous.
14:43
Speaker 13: And this is what I love about being elected because
14:45
Speaker 13: basically you don't have to ask anybody permission.
14:49
Speaker 1: Basically, this is what I'm going to give the exact
14:51
Speaker 1: quote Kama Harris.
14:53
Speaker 2: This is a communists.
14:54
Speaker 1: This is what I love about being elected because basically
14:56
Speaker 1: you don't have to ask anybody permission. Comrade Kamala, the dictator,
15:02
Speaker 1: that is who she is. You talk about this, and
15:06
Speaker 1: again I go back to what this is okay? And
15:12
Speaker 1: this is another example of where you give this woman
15:17
Speaker 1: a coronation, as the media's done. You give her a
15:20
Speaker 1: billion dollars in kind donation and good press, and then
15:23
Speaker 1: she comes out and she's like, hey, here's a communist idea.
15:26
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my gosh, what just happened?
15:28
Speaker 1: CNBC even saying this, Listen, she hasn't.
15:32
Speaker 11: Stuck to any very clear set of ideological policies. She's
15:36
Speaker 11: wavered a bit throughout her years in politics. What was
15:39
Speaker 11: interesting to me today and seeing this plan is that
15:42
Speaker 11: it's clearly very progressive. Regardless of what she's saying to
15:44
Speaker 11: donors behind closed doors, she is putting a progressive bent
15:47
Speaker 11: to her campaign at this point, and that's not what
15:49
Speaker 11: a lot of people expected or hoped to see. I've
15:52
Speaker 11: been talking to moderate Democrats who said she could just
15:54
Speaker 11: run a vibes campaign, she didn't have to get into
15:56
Speaker 11: policy details at all. They think the best way for
15:59
Speaker 11: her to win to do anything to just distance herself
16:01
Speaker 11: from the far left, regardless of whether or not she
16:04
Speaker 11: dives into policy details, and she would win. Clearly, she
16:06
Speaker 11: didn't take that advice. She is diving into policy details
16:09
Speaker 11: that go more left. She might be saying other things
16:11
Speaker 11: behind closed doors to make sure corporations are still on
16:14
Speaker 11: her side as well, but clearly she wants to sort
16:17
Speaker 11: of have this brand of the progressive candidate.
16:20
Speaker 2: The progressive candidate.
16:21
Speaker 1: Why do you think she picked her VP Cannate Walls
16:24
Speaker 1: Because he's even more radical than she is, or at
16:26
Speaker 1: least at the same exact level. So let's go to
16:29
Speaker 1: Kamala's words. Kamala says prices are still too high. Okay,
16:35
Speaker 1: this is what she says, and listen carefully to what
16:38
Speaker 1: she's admitting about when Donald Trump was president. It's almost
16:42
Speaker 1: like an endorsement of Donald Trump.
16:44
Speaker 2: Listen, shut down and failed.
16:47
Speaker 13: But our supply chains have now improved and prices are
16:52
Speaker 13: still too high. Yes, a loaf of bread cost fifty
16:57
Speaker 13: percent more today than it did before the pan pandemic.
17:01
Speaker 13: Ground beef is up almost fifty percent. Many of the
17:07
Speaker 13: big food companies are seeing their highest profits in two decades,
17:13
Speaker 13: and while many grocery chains pass along these savings, others
17:19
Speaker 13: still aren't. Look, I know most businesses are creating jobs,
17:26
Speaker 13: contributing to our economy and playing by the rules.
17:30
Speaker 2: But some are not.
17:32
Speaker 13: And that's just not right, and we need to take
17:36
Speaker 13: action when that is the case. At as attorney general
17:49
Speaker 13: in California, I went after companies that illegally increased prices,
17:55
Speaker 13: including wholesalers that inflated the price of prescription medication, and
18:01
Speaker 13: companies that conspired with competitors to keep prices of electronics high.
18:08
Speaker 13: I won more than one billion dollars for consumers.
18:15
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
18:18
Speaker 1: She's sitting there and telling you, since she became an
18:21
Speaker 1: elected official, the vice president, a loaf of bread costs
18:24
Speaker 1: fifty percent more today than before the pandemic, meaning when
18:26
Speaker 1: Trump is in office, ground beef is up almost fifty
18:29
Speaker 1: percent since they came into office.
18:31
Speaker 2: And then she says it's corporate greed.
18:33
Speaker 1: So therefore, I'm going to be a communist and I'm
18:36
Speaker 1: going to put mandates on companies, and I'm going to
18:40
Speaker 1: tell these companies that I'm going to find them money. Okay,
18:43
Speaker 1: I'm going to find them cash or shut them down
18:48
Speaker 1: if they don't sell you bread or meat or whatever
18:51
Speaker 1: it is at a price that I demand. Now, let's
18:55
Speaker 1: be clear about what prices have done. Okay, since Kamala
19:00
Speaker 1: Harris has become the vice president. Since Harris took office,
19:05
Speaker 1: car insurance is up fifty four percent, Hotels are up
19:09
Speaker 1: fifty one point two percent. Gas is up fifty point
19:14
Speaker 1: fifty percent. Fuel as an oil is up forty nine
19:19
Speaker 1: point one percent. Transportation is up thirty two point nine percent.
19:25
Speaker 1: Electricity is up thirty one point seven percent. Baby food
19:32
Speaker 1: it's an essential, up thirty point one percent. Eating out
19:36
Speaker 1: up more than twenty three percent, Airfare is up twenty
19:39
Speaker 1: two point six percent, rent is up twenty two percent,
19:43
Speaker 1: and groceries are up over twenty one point six percent.
19:48
Speaker 1: So the woman who's created the problem now says, elect
19:51
Speaker 1: me as present to then fix the problem I created
19:54
Speaker 1: by by allowing me to give you communism. And she
20:00
Speaker 1: says it in her own speech, in her own damn speech.
20:04
Speaker 1: She goes back in time and tell you and tells
20:06
Speaker 1: you the prices of what things used to be before
20:09
Speaker 1: she got in charge.
20:11
Speaker 2: This is totally insane.
20:14
Speaker 1: Because the economy is stronger, she says, she'll be able
20:17
Speaker 1: to do this. No, that's not how this works. Listen
20:21
Speaker 1: to what Larry Couglow had to say on Fox Business
20:23
Speaker 1: about this after she announced it.
20:25
Speaker 14: Kamala Harrison's economic plan released today in North Carolina, command
20:29
Speaker 14: and control, socialist type central planning, the likes of which
20:33
Speaker 14: we haven't seen since the nineteen thirties Depression, or for
20:37
Speaker 14: those who remember the old Soviet Union communists, or for
20:41
Speaker 14: those I'm lucky enough to visit today's Venezuela.
20:44
Speaker 2: Really it's crazy stuff. No one's been taken seriously.
20:47
Speaker 14: That kind of ultra far left planning has been out
20:50
Speaker 14: of favor in the United States for nearly one hundred years.
20:54
Speaker 14: Democratic autonomous are attacking it. The Washington Post is attacking it.
20:58
Speaker 14: Early estimates of the cost of her plan are already
21:01
Speaker 14: running upwards of one point three trillion, and it's going
21:05
Speaker 14: to get larger. But of course that means more deficit spending,
21:09
Speaker 14: and that means more inflation, and the unlikely event you
21:12
Speaker 14: were to be elected, that's what we'd have to suffer through.
21:15
Speaker 14: The big items so far, the thirty six hundred dollars
21:19
Speaker 14: Kitty tax credit will cost about a trillion dollars over
21:22
Speaker 14: ten years. The newborn child credit, and of one hundred billion,
21:26
Speaker 14: a twenty five thousand dollars Home Morgan subsidy would be
21:29
Speaker 14: about two hundred and fifty billion. And of course there's
21:32
Speaker 14: going to be a lot more details, as a lot
21:35
Speaker 14: more as the details come out. There's new tax credits
21:38
Speaker 14: for Obamacare, there's another bump up in the earned income
21:41
Speaker 14: tax credit, some kind of debt cancelation for healthcare costs,
21:45
Speaker 14: and of course let's not forget the unconstitutional student loan cancelations.
21:50
Speaker 14: The details of all this stuff so far are unknown,
21:53
Speaker 14: and the costs of those details are going to mount
21:56
Speaker 14: higher and higher. You will see, of course, the headline grabber,
22:00
Speaker 14: which is the first ever federal ban on price gouging
22:03
Speaker 14: on food and groceries really just price controls dressed up
22:07
Speaker 14: as price controls. In other words, to quote Churchill, a
22:11
Speaker 14: sheep in sheep's clothing.
22:13
Speaker 1: And President here's the other thing I have to ask, Okay,
22:17
Speaker 1: Kamala declared that she is going to quote tackle inflation,
22:21
Speaker 1: and she says it will be a Day one priority
22:23
Speaker 1: for her. Does anyone in the media raise her hand
22:26
Speaker 1: and go your Day one was three and a half
22:28
Speaker 1: years ago.
22:29
Speaker 2: Why haven't you done it already.
22:32
Speaker 1: That's the question that Donald Trump is going to need
22:34
Speaker 1: to ask over and over and over and over and
22:37
Speaker 1: over again. You absolutely have to ask that question. And
22:43
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you don't bring that up, then
22:47
Speaker 1: you're a coward. If you are in the media, you
22:50
Speaker 1: should ask that there should be accountability here.
22:54
Speaker 2: The other thing is is Harris going to bring.
22:56
Speaker 1: These policies up in the Democrat National Convention after there's
22:59
Speaker 1: this type of backlash. If she doesn't, then isn't that
23:02
Speaker 1: a policy flop?
23:05
Speaker 2: Right?
23:05
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that It isn't that a policy flop?
23:09
Speaker 2: If that happens.
23:10
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to CNN's Jeff Zeleny after
23:14
Speaker 1: her speech ended the initial reaction.
23:17
Speaker 2: Jeff on the politics of this.
23:19
Speaker 15: There were two things that really struck out to me
23:21
Speaker 15: with this speech, and I think they were pretty obvious
23:25
Speaker 15: and deliberate. On the issue of tariffs, which Donald Trump
23:28
Speaker 15: has sort of made his namesake, going back to his
23:32
Speaker 15: first run for the White House, Kamala Harris here describing
23:35
Speaker 15: it as a Trump tax on imports, essentially saying that
23:38
Speaker 15: Donald Trump wants to tax consumers. And the second thing
23:42
Speaker 15: she's spent this contrasting herself with Donald Trump. And I
23:45
Speaker 15: think that the most clear contrast was the fact that
23:49
Speaker 15: yesterday Donald Trump is giving a press conference outside of
23:52
Speaker 15: his private golf club, and then you have the vice
23:55
Speaker 15: president here talking about how excited she was to see
23:58
Speaker 15: her mom save up for ten years to buy a house,
24:02
Speaker 15: and then how she worked at McDonald's to put herself
24:04
Speaker 15: through college and wants people around her struggle to make
24:08
Speaker 15: ends multiple jobs to do that. So it gives a
24:12
Speaker 15: sense of legitimacy to this populist argument that she's trying
24:15
Speaker 15: to make.
24:16
Speaker 6: I mean, the contrasts in every respect could not have
24:19
Speaker 6: been more clear. In terms of the Trump CAREFF, she
24:21
Speaker 6: really broke it down. She said, it's a Trump a
24:24
Speaker 6: tax on gas, a Trump tax on food. So what
24:26
Speaker 6: this is doing by having her finally give a policy speech,
24:30
Speaker 6: it's shining a broader light on his policies, and there
24:33
Speaker 6: are gaps in both of them, no doubt about it.
24:35
Speaker 6: One thing she did not say is how any of
24:38
Speaker 6: this would be paid for. Of course, that is not
24:40
Speaker 6: uncommon in a presidential campaign. This is an aspirational level.
24:43
Speaker 6: He never says how he would pay for his plans either.
24:45
Speaker 6: But what I did think and This is the point
24:47
Speaker 6: of it, obviously, is to draw a contrast obviously.
24:52
Speaker 2: With him, but on the middle.
24:54
Speaker 6: Class and help explain herself. She still is not introduced
24:57
Speaker 6: that well to the American people's in the public eye.
25:00
Speaker 6: She's been vice president. But allowing her to sprinkle in
25:04
Speaker 6: her biography I thought was so interesting, and we are
25:06
Speaker 6: going to hear more of that at the convention next week.
25:08
Speaker 6: The housing crisis, I hear it constantly as I travel
25:11
Speaker 6: around the country talking to voters. You may ask, why
25:14
Speaker 6: didn't the Biden administration do more on this? It's a
25:17
Speaker 6: you know, a good thing to ask. They've done some,
25:21
Speaker 6: but she's focusing on that with a specific of twenty
25:23
Speaker 6: five thousand dollars that would be certainly not paid for.
25:27
Speaker 6: But that is something that voters can get their minds around.
25:29
Speaker 6: So I think drawing a sharp con.
25:31
Speaker 2: I love this.
25:32
Speaker 1: By the way, did you notice what he just said there?
25:34
Speaker 1: Like he's giving her this like massive hug. Right, Well,
25:38
Speaker 1: it's you know, people don't really know her. She's been
25:39
Speaker 1: the vice president for three and a half years, she
25:41
Speaker 1: ran president before that.
25:42
Speaker 2: We know Kamala Harris.
25:43
Speaker 1: And then he says one thing she did not say
25:45
Speaker 1: is how any of this would be paid for and
25:47
Speaker 1: then immediately.
25:48
Speaker 2: Moves on too.
25:50
Speaker 1: But really it's great to get to know Kamala Harris
25:52
Speaker 1: like are you insane?
25:54
Speaker 2: Like are you insane?
25:57
Speaker 1: That's the response there is, like, well, I mean, you know,
26:00
Speaker 1: we we we're getting to know her and getting to
26:02
Speaker 1: know her is great. Let me also just play something
26:05
Speaker 1: else for you. A Soviet immigrant went on X after
26:11
Speaker 1: her speech. Uh, where Kama Harris is laying out her
26:15
Speaker 1: price controls and what it would look like in reality
26:20
Speaker 1: USA or USSR ban on food price increases?
26:24
Speaker 2: Question market. He put this video up. This is a.
26:26
Speaker 1: Soviet immigrant warning America what this looks like if she
26:31
Speaker 1: does it.
26:32
Speaker 2: Oh my good.
26:33
Speaker 16: I heard about Vice President Kamal her Is proposing to
26:37
Speaker 16: band price increases on food. I was surprised because I
26:41
Speaker 16: said here in the United States, government usually doesn't tell
26:45
Speaker 16: private businesses would to church for the products service because
26:49
Speaker 16: copitalism free markets invisible. I am from the Soviet Union.
26:54
Speaker 16: You've seen this movie before. I know I's singing too
26:57
Speaker 16: about government controlling the econ. This blend is not yet
27:01
Speaker 16: this blare this food blowing Soviet style blend.
27:04
Speaker 2: That going in here with his five year to blends.
27:06
Speaker 2: But it's will in.
27:06
Speaker 16: This way, So what should the man can exploit food
27:09
Speaker 16: shortages produce This will make lysts food because it's not
27:13
Speaker 16: less profited, but consumers will buy more of it because
27:16
Speaker 16: it's cheap. One, but food cool is if the price
27:18
Speaker 16: is the same bliss.
27:19
Speaker 2: You sell good dumb way that so?
27:20
Speaker 16: But them wato which ones do you think they will sell?
27:23
Speaker 2: By the way, did you hear what he just said?
27:25
Speaker 1: And this is what happened in Russia and a lot
27:27
Speaker 1: of people were getting sick and malnourished in the USSR.
27:31
Speaker 2: He just made a point.
27:32
Speaker 1: If it's if quality isn't a matter in the equation,
27:37
Speaker 1: it's just a price, Like hey, a loaf of bread
27:40
Speaker 1: has to be a dollar. Are they gonna give you
27:42
Speaker 1: a quality loaf of bread or give you crap? Are
27:45
Speaker 1: they gonna give you crap eggs? Or good eggs? Are
27:48
Speaker 1: they gonna you can kiss? By the way, quality meats
27:51
Speaker 1: could buy if you have these food prices that are
27:54
Speaker 1: mandated by Harris. Comrade Harris, I mean you think you're
27:58
Speaker 1: gonna get a prime steak? Yeah out, okay on the
28:00
Speaker 1: black market?
28:01
Speaker 2: You will.
28:02
Speaker 1: They don't have prime or choice or select like you
28:06
Speaker 1: get crap in these countries. There's no prime there's no
28:11
Speaker 1: there's no Grade A or double A or triple A
28:14
Speaker 1: eggs or or or or chicken or certainly steaks in
28:19
Speaker 1: these countries because you have these mandates, so you do
28:23
Speaker 1: it as cheap as possible.
28:25
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the videos?
28:26
Speaker 1: And this is gonna make some of your stomachs churn,
28:28
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna go with it anyway. Have you
28:31
Speaker 1: seen the videos of the telapia farms where they're literally
28:35
Speaker 1: loading into the tanks where the tilapia are actual feces
28:41
Speaker 1: from other animals and rotten food. They'll eat it, by
28:45
Speaker 1: the way. That's why I don't eat telapia, by the way,
28:48
Speaker 1: especially farm raised tilapia where they actually feed them feces
28:53
Speaker 1: from other animals. You think they're not gonna do that
28:57
Speaker 1: to give you the cheap price they need. That's a
29:00
Speaker 1: mandate from from from comrade Kamala. She is proposing that
29:05
Speaker 1: we go into full blown communism with a price control
29:09
Speaker 1: system that takes away all of your quality food.
29:13
Speaker 2: That maybe that's the thing that people need to understand.
29:16
Speaker 1: If you if you think of soy lattes nice as
29:18
Speaker 1: a liberal and you love Starbucks's menu, and you love
29:21
