Biden Agrees to Debate Trump w Cognitive Decline Rules to Protect Him! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Bring it on.
0:02
Speaker 2: That is what Joe Biden is saying to Donald Trump.
0:05
Speaker 2: Acting like the man with aviators that loves eid ice
0:09
Speaker 2: cream and sniff children's heads is back at it, folks.
0:13
Speaker 2: He's back in the saddle.
0:15
Speaker 1: Bring it on.
0:16
Speaker 2: With a presidential debate plan that will now include two debates.
0:21
Speaker 1: But there's a caveat. They don't want.
0:26
Speaker 2: There to be audience members, you know that could maybe
0:29
Speaker 2: clap for Donald Trump when he says things they like.
0:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want any of that.
0:34
Speaker 2: It's also on two hardcore communists networks. Now, Joe Biden's
0:39
Speaker 2: campaign demanded a ban on audiences during the proposed presidential
0:43
Speaker 2: debates with former President Donald Trump, and the demand appears
0:47
Speaker 2: to be designed to reduce the risk of any Biden
0:50
Speaker 2: protesters attending the event or clamping for Donald Trump.
0:54
Speaker 1: Now, why is that an issue?
0:55
Speaker 2: You may remember Donald Trump did a town hall on
0:59
Speaker 2: CNN and CNN the communist news network, is going to
1:03
Speaker 2: be hosting one of these two debates, and they saw
1:06
Speaker 2: what happened. The audience started to actually clap for Donald
1:10
Speaker 2: Trump and some of the things that he was saying,
1:13
Speaker 2: and Caitlin Collins didn't know how to handle it.
1:16
Speaker 1: At CNN.
1:17
Speaker 2: In fact, CNN didn't know how to handle it is
1:19
Speaker 2: a network that, heaven forbid, there might be people in
1:22
Speaker 2: the audience that actually liked what the former president was saying.
1:28
Speaker 2: So this seems to be done by design to shut
1:30
Speaker 2: down in silence the people that are voting in this
1:34
Speaker 2: country so that they'll have less of an impact on
1:37
Speaker 2: what it looks like to the rest of the country. Right,
1:39
Speaker 2: because if you see people that are clapping, and you
1:41
Speaker 2: see people that are excited for Donald Trump, then you
1:45
Speaker 2: may say, you know what, Yeah, I'm going to be
1:46
Speaker 2: a little bit more proud of my support of Donald Trump,
1:49
Speaker 2: or maybe I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and
1:52
Speaker 2: maybe I can get a little excitement.
1:55
Speaker 1: Right.
1:55
Speaker 2: It's the same reason why we in sports it's sports
1:57
Speaker 2: suck without fans. They just do go to a game
2:00
Speaker 2: where there's no one there and it's not fun. It
2:03
Speaker 2: is fun and it's exciting when you're around people that
2:06
Speaker 2: are fans and there's cheering, like that's just changes.
2:09
Speaker 1: The entire dynamic.
2:10
Speaker 2: Now, I've done a lot of debate prep in my
2:12
Speaker 2: career for people that are running for governor, for Senate,
2:17
Speaker 2: for Congress, and for the presidency and I can tell
2:20
Speaker 2: you presidential debates completely change when there is a studio audience.
2:26
Speaker 2: And I've been in part of that and it is
2:27
Speaker 2: a blast to watch when a candidate breaks out because
2:31
Speaker 2: they get some momentum behind them. And that is exactly
2:34
Speaker 2: why they're demanding that these debates be done in a
2:38
Speaker 2: way where you cannot have that X factor of what
2:43
Speaker 2: would happen if Joe Biden says something. It's just a
2:45
Speaker 2: flat out line and the audience is like boo or no, right,
2:49
Speaker 2: he's not willing.
2:49
Speaker 1: They don't want to take that risk now.
2:51
Speaker 2: In a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, the
2:54
Speaker 2: Biden campaign said it was providing notice that it would
2:57
Speaker 2: not participate in Commission debates. The campaign said Biden would
3:02
Speaker 2: only participate in quote network debates, meaning they're run by
3:06
Speaker 2: networks that are friendly to him. Now, the Trump campaign
3:11
Speaker 2: has said, or at least Donald Trump has said today, Yeah,
3:14
Speaker 2: we'll do the two debates. But that's all we had
3:17
Speaker 2: to say about it. And this was in response to
3:19
Speaker 2: the quote bring it on now. The Commission's model of
3:23
Speaker 2: building huge spectacles with large audience is a great expense,
3:27
Speaker 2: simply isn't necessary or conducive to good debates is what
3:32
Speaker 2: the Biden campaign wrote in their letter. The debates should
3:35
Speaker 2: be conducted for the benefit of the American voters watching
3:38
Speaker 2: on television at home, and not as entertainment for an
3:42
Speaker 2: in person audience. Right with this, you know this raucous
3:46
Speaker 2: or disruptive partisans and donors who consume valuable debate time
3:51
Speaker 2: with noisy spectacles of approval or jeering.
3:55
Speaker 1: Now, let me just read between the lines here.
3:58
Speaker 2: There are two things that the Biden campaign is afraid
4:00
Speaker 2: of with these debates. One that right there would be momentum,
4:04
Speaker 2: just like we saw in that town hall with Donald
4:06
Speaker 2: Trump and Caitlyn Collins on CNN and it backfired on CNN.
4:09
Speaker 1: That's what their fear is, number one.
4:11
Speaker 2: But I also think their other fear is that there
4:13
Speaker 2: would be the radicals of the left that would infiltrate
4:17
Speaker 2: these these Marxists and socialists and communists they've been appeasing
4:20
Speaker 2: on college campuses for example, that they would then have
4:25
Speaker 2: to deal with if there was these protests. I think
4:28
Speaker 2: one of the protests that you would obviously see that
4:31
Speaker 2: is at top of mind of everybody right now listening
4:33
Speaker 2: would be the anti Israel protests that probably wouldn't play
4:37
Speaker 2: well on TV, and then it would put Joe Biden
4:39
Speaker 2: in a bad situation, and it might give an opportunity
4:42
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to say, Look, this is the Democratic Party.
4:44
Speaker 2: If you vote for Joe Biden, these are the radicals
4:46
Speaker 2: that you're voting with. So there's two parts of this
4:49
Speaker 2: here where they're saying we don't need this, right, like
4:52
Speaker 2: this is something we just don't need. All right, let
4:55
Speaker 2: me take a moment and talk to you real quick
4:56
Speaker 2: about your retirement and inflation and the eroding of the
5:00
Speaker 2: power of the dollar. Right now, inflation is well above
5:04
Speaker 2: what the Fed's target rate is.
5:06
Speaker 1: You know what's happened.
5:07
Speaker 2: Consumer prices are much higher than they were last year,
5:11
Speaker 2: or the year before and the year before that. That's
5:13
Speaker 2: why all of us need a financial plan that ensures
5:16
Speaker 2: that money that we save today will be enough for
5:18
Speaker 2: us tomorrow. And that's why I've diversified my investments to
5:22
Speaker 2: include gold and silver. Now, there are a lot of
5:25
Speaker 2: gold and silver companies. You hear them every day if
5:28
Speaker 2: you listen to conservative podcasts or talk radio, if you
5:32
Speaker 2: watch TV conservative networks, you'll see tons of companies. Well,
5:36
Speaker 2: let me tell you about Freedom Gold USA. Reason why
5:39
Speaker 2: I love them. They preach protection and diversifying your assets.
5:43
Speaker 2: They will not take you to put all your money
5:44
Speaker 2: in gold and silver. Now here's the other thing that
5:47
Speaker 2: is really important to you. You work hard for your money,
5:49
Speaker 2: just like I do. And on average they charge twenty
5:52
Speaker 2: five to thirty percent less than most major gold and
5:56
Speaker 2: silver firms. So the ones that you hear from there
6:00
Speaker 2: gonna charge you on average twenty five to thirty percent
6:03
Speaker 2: more than what you're gonna pay when you call my
6:07
Speaker 2: friends at freedom Goold USA. Now you can take control
6:10
Speaker 2: your financial future right now, and you can also get
6:13
Speaker 2: free silver in your account. They will walk you through
6:16
Speaker 2: the process, talk to you about about diversifying your investment

6:47
Speaker 2: as was the case with the original televised debates, the
6:51
Speaker 2: Biden campaign goes on to write in nineteen sixty a
6:54
Speaker 2: television studio with just the cannons and moderator is a better,
6:57
Speaker 2: more cost effective way to proceed now. Now, with all
7:00
Speaker 2: due respect to Joe Biden and the Biden campaign, these
7:04
Speaker 2: guys don't give a crap about costs. If they did,
7:06
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be spending more than a trillion dollars every
7:08
Speaker 2: one hundred days, which is what our federal budget is
7:11
Speaker 2: right now. So this idea that they are about cost
7:16
Speaker 2: saving is just absurd. What Joe Biden's campaign is saying
7:20
Speaker 2: is here's our excuse, and here's why we don't want
7:23
Speaker 2: our guy in front of a studio audience, because we
7:25
Speaker 2: believe it is just too big of a liability for
7:29
Speaker 2: him now. Biden also released a video Wednesday morning proposing
7:33
Speaker 2: two debates in June and September, saying I've received and
7:37
Speaker 2: accept an invitation from CNN for a debate on June
7:40
Speaker 2: the twenty seventh. Biden posts on X over to you Donald,
7:45
Speaker 2: as you said, anywhere, anytime, any place, right. This is
7:48
Speaker 2: the guy getting his mojo back here, right. It's all
7:51
Speaker 2: about the mojo and getting it back. Former White House
7:54
Speaker 2: Chief of Staff Ron klam A longtime trusted ally Biden
7:58
Speaker 2: will help Biden with debate prep being told that being
8:01
Speaker 2: reported by The New York Times.
8:03
Speaker 1: Now.
8:04
Speaker 2: Claim previously told MSNBC's Jensaki, who was Biden's former White
8:09
Speaker 2: House Press secretary, that rules are going to have to
8:13
Speaker 2: be enforced of any debate between Biden and Trump.
8:18
Speaker 1: So again they're trying to cook the books here.
8:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, responding on True's social says, please let this
8:25
Speaker 2: truth serve to represent that I hereby accept debating crooked
8:28
Speaker 2: Joe Biden on Fox News. The debate will be on Wednesday,
8:32
Speaker 2: Act over the second. The host will be Brett Baer
8:34
Speaker 2: and Martha McCallum. Thank you, Donald Trump that coming out
8:38
Speaker 2: on his response to all of this, I think we
8:42
Speaker 2: have to see if something different than we saw in
8:44
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, the Biden camp said, where
8:48
Speaker 2: the Debate Commission lost control of the debates, Trump didn't
8:52
Speaker 2: follow the rules at all. He talked over his opponents.
8:55
Speaker 2: There wasn't a fair division of time. It was more
8:58
Speaker 2: of a spectacle than a debate, Claim claimed, and he
9:02
Speaker 2: said that's always going to be true with Donald Trump
9:04
Speaker 2: on the stage. But at least we can have some
9:06
Speaker 2: rules on the front end. And why are they saying this?
9:08
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear. They're basically saying that if
9:11
Speaker 2: the first debate doesn't go well for Joe Biden and
9:15
Speaker 2: he gets just hammered, we'll have an excuse to drop
9:18
Speaker 2: out of the second debate. So they're already laying the groundwork.
9:23
Speaker 2: So just to be clear, Joe Biden says, bring it on,
9:26
Speaker 2: but then says, but you can't have an audience, and
9:28
Speaker 2: then he says, we need to save money, so we'll
9:32
Speaker 2: just have only a moderator. And I'm only wanting to
9:34
Speaker 2: do this on networks and are friendly to me. And oh,
9:37
Speaker 2: by the way, if he doesn't abide by the rules,
9:40
Speaker 2: then we're not going to keep doing this moving forward.
9:44
Speaker 2: So if he gets his brains beat in, he now
9:47
Speaker 2: has a reason to get out of debate number two.
9:50
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm glad that there's a debate.
9:53
Speaker 2: I honestly thought that the White House would not do
9:56
Speaker 2: a debate.
9:57
Speaker 1: I really did.
9:57
Speaker 2: I thought maybe one, and I knew that we're gonna
10:00
Speaker 2: come up with some ridiculous rules to pull it off, right,
10:03
Speaker 2: That's just part of it. But what I was I
10:06
Speaker 2: was honestly worried we get zero debates because I don't
10:10
Speaker 2: believe we saw this to the State of the Union
10:13
Speaker 2: that they can keep the president on his a game
10:15
Speaker 2: whatever That a game looks like it's constantly changing because
10:19
Speaker 2: of his mental decline for an hour, hour and a
10:22
Speaker 2: half two hours. We saw it at the State of
10:24
Speaker 2: the Union where he had this like you know, dilated
10:27
Speaker 2: pupil kind of look thing going on small pupils for
10:30
Speaker 2: like thirty minutes, and he was angry and yelling and
10:32
Speaker 2: talking really fast, and then whatever it was he was
10:35
Speaker 2: on started to wear off, and then we saw the
10:37
Speaker 2: Joe Biden that's this stumbling, babbling, I got to have
10:40
Speaker 2: some more ice cream, go to bed early, only work
10:43
Speaker 2: four hours a day kind of guy.
10:45
Speaker 1: And I think that's what they're worried about. Here.
10:48
Speaker 2: You look at where we are with the economy right now.
10:51
Speaker 2: You got a big macmeal that now costs eighteen dollars.
10:54
Speaker 2: You have unemployment that's rising, and you have people that
10:57
Speaker 2: are spending less, but you have them having to work
11:02
Speaker 2: harder and they're technically making more money, but everything's costing
11:06
Speaker 2: so much more that it is a major problem in
11:10
Speaker 2: this country right now. We've now gotten some of the
11:13
Speaker 2: new economic numbers that have just been updated since Biden
11:17
Speaker 2: took office. Overall prices are now up twenty percent, Food
11:22
Speaker 2: prices are up twenty one point three percent, rent is
11:27
Speaker 2: up twenty point eight percent, and electricity right now is
11:32
Speaker 2: up twenty eight point five percent. That is Bidenomics, and
11:37
Speaker 2: Bidenomics is really important that the President of the United
11:41
Speaker 2: States of America has to defend this on stage with
11:45
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Now, there's also something else that makes me laugh,
11:48
Speaker 2: and that is how they're sending the sarrogates out on
11:52
Speaker 2: TV to try to convince you that the economy is
11:55
Speaker 2: actually really good right now, and we're seeing every indication
11:59
Speaker 2: that it's not and it's going in the wrong direction.
12:02
Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example.
12:04
Speaker 2: One of those sarrogates is a former Obama economic advisor
12:08
Speaker 2: who claimed on National TV Today that inflation was nine
12:12
Speaker 2: to ten percent when Biden took office.
12:15
Speaker 1: That is a lie.
12:17
Speaker 2: He said this lie on Fox News Channel, and here's
12:20
Speaker 2: what it sounded like when the host burst out in laughter.
12:25
Speaker 3: Time for our panel, Doug hole Deacon is here, former
12:27
Speaker 3: CBO director, and Robert Wolf his former economic advisor to Obama.
12:31
Speaker 3: Welcome to both of you, Robert, what was inflation when
12:34
Speaker 3: Biden took office?
12:42
Speaker 4: No, no, no, come on, all right, all right, three now,
12:48
Speaker 4: So it's.
12:49
Speaker 5: Thanks, I apologize, I put you on the spot there.
12:52
Speaker 5: It was one point four percent, and that is fact.
12:55
Speaker 1: So Doug Hold, deacon, this, These are.
12:57
Speaker 5: The claims that the president.
12:59
Speaker 2: By the way, did you hear the laugh there? He
13:01
Speaker 2: these guys go on TV. This former Obama economic advisor
13:04
Speaker 2: whose whole job was to deal with this crap, looks
13:07
Speaker 2: at the camera and says it was nine to ten percent.
13:10
Speaker 2: Now it's at three percent. So it's sound twofold, and
13:13
Speaker 2: everybody laughs because that's a lie, right like that, that's
13:17
Speaker 2: a lie.
13:18
Speaker 1: It's not even close to that. Where was it? Go
13:21
Speaker 1: back and listen again to.
13:22
Speaker 2: The lie carefully as he is stunned, like, oh I
13:25
Speaker 2: got to answer this and I got to defend it.
13:28
Speaker 6: Tell you.
13:33
Speaker 1: No, no, no, come on, all right, all right now.
13:40
Speaker 3: So it's like, I apologize, I put you on the spot.
13:43
Speaker 5: There one point four percent, and that is fact.
13:46
Speaker 1: So Doug Hold's deacon this.
13:48
Speaker 5: These are the claims that the president has been making
13:51
Speaker 5: that the Washington Post is giving four Pinocchio's kind of
13:55
Speaker 5: sounds like what Robert just said, listen.
13:58
Speaker 7: We have dramatically reduced inflation from nine percent down so
14:02
Speaker 7: close to three percent. We're in a situation where we're
14:05
Speaker 7: a better situation than we were when we took office.
14:08
Speaker 7: It was nine percent when I came to office. Nine percent.
14:12
Speaker 1: But look, people have a right to be concerned.
14:15
Speaker 7: I think inflation has gone slightly up. This was it
14:17
Speaker 7: nine percent when I came in, and it's now down
14:20
Speaker 7: about three percent.
14:22
Speaker 2: He's just a liar, and everybody around him is willing
14:26
Speaker 2: to look you in the face and lie to you.
14:28
Speaker 2: These are the moments that and the reason why I
14:31
Speaker 2: want this debate. I want these debates because then you're
14:35
Speaker 2: going to actually have to deal with this crap. You're
14:38
Speaker 2: going to actually have to look at him in the face,
14:41
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, and challenge him with this because you noticed,
14:45
Speaker 2: like this former economic advisor to Obama, Samsire Timsent, he
14:49
Speaker 2: knows he's lying, right, he knows it. White House pres
14:53
Speaker 2: Secretary Jean Pierre another reason why I want this debate.
14:56
Speaker 2: She was asked about another historic inflation report.
15:00
Speaker 1: Listen to her.
15:01
Speaker 2: Try to lie to the American people as well, telling
15:03
Speaker 2: you everything's great.
15:05
Speaker 8: Inflation report Actually obviously it was positive for you guys,
15:08
Speaker 8: but we're still seeing in placed above normal levels despite
15:13
Speaker 8: everything the administration, and if that is doing, do you
15:16
Speaker 8: have a sense of when households can expect to see
15:19
Speaker 8: prices state line.
15:21
Speaker 6: So look, here's what I can tell you. What we're
15:22
Speaker 6: going to continue to do is make sure that we
15:25
Speaker 6: are when it comes to our priority as it relates
15:28
Speaker 6: to the economy, we want to make sure that we're
15:29
Speaker 6: fighting inflation and continue to do so.
15:31
Speaker 1: And so we understand we have a lot more work
15:33
Speaker 1: to do. We get that, but.
15:36
Speaker 6: I would state that inflation is down more than sixty percent,
15:38
Speaker 6: with the lowest core inflation in three years, and grocery
15:41
Speaker 6: prices fell over the last three months. Wages are up
15:44
Speaker 6: more than the prices over the last year and since
15:46
Speaker 6: the pandemic, more than fifteen million jobs created and unemployment
15:49
Speaker 6: is under four percent and that is the longest stretch
15:52
Speaker 6: that we have seen in over fifty years. So we
15:54
Speaker 6: are seeing some progress, some macro economic progress, but we
15:58
Speaker 6: understand that there are and families that are still struggling.
16:01
Speaker 6: That's why the President continues to do everything that he
16:04
Speaker 6: can to lower costs, whether it's insulin at thirty five
16:07
Speaker 6: bucks for seniors and calling for that to be for
16:11
Speaker 6: all Americans, and a plan to build two million new homes,
16:15
Speaker 6: lower childcare costs. This is what the President is trying
16:17
Speaker 6: to do and has been very clear about his plan
16:20
Speaker 6: for Americans as it relates to the economy. And again
16:24
Speaker 6: in contrast to what she Willpe is trying to do
16:26
Speaker 6: cut Medicare, cut, cut Social Security, cut medicaid.
16:30
Speaker 1: By the way, all those things are lies.
16:32
Speaker 2: We're not trying to cut so Security, We're not trying
16:34
Speaker 2: to cut Medicare, Medicaid. She's just flat out line. But
16:38
Speaker 2: she just said something there about inflation. She says, we
16:42
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we're fighting inflation, and she
16:44
Speaker 2: said that's why we're pushing new spending on entitlement. So
16:47
Speaker 2: you're going to So the answer from the Biden administration
16:49
Speaker 2: is because we have inflation, which created because of all
16:53
Speaker 2: the COVID money that we printed right that we had
16:55
Speaker 2: to borrow, and then inflation went through the roof because
16:59
Speaker 2: we were just giving out free money everywhere, even though
17:02
Speaker 2: it's not actually free.
17:03
Speaker 1: Now the White House says we're just gonna.
17:05
Speaker 2: Spend our way into oblivion and somehow that's gonna bring
17:10
Speaker 2: inflation down because they don't understand how the economy actually works.
17:15
Speaker 2: Let me go back, by the way to something that
17:19
Speaker 2: we played here a couple of weeks ago, and it
17:22
Speaker 2: was a really important point by a major top advisor
17:27
Speaker 2: to Joe Biden, and and and what he said, in fact,
17:31
Speaker 2: before I even play him, I want to play for
17:34
Speaker 2: you Biden. In his own words, Biden says, we need
17:37
Speaker 2: to quote stay the course on his economy.
17:39
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
17:40
Speaker 7: You gotta be steady, stay the course and continue to
17:43
Speaker 7: produce this concredible job. And the job and by the way,
17:48
Speaker 7: to pay for the jobs are outpacing the inflation rate
17:51
Speaker 7: to pain. We're gonna we're gonna be able to deal
17:54
Speaker 7: with this. It's going to take no more time, but
17:55
Speaker 7: we're gonna.
17:56
Speaker 1: Focus on them. So just stay the course.
17:58
Speaker 2: Right, things are bad, They're not looking good for the
18:00
Speaker 2: American people, the American worker.
18:03
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do.
18:03
Speaker 2: We're gonna just stay the course. So we're gonna stay
18:05
Speaker 2: the course. Yes, And then what does he do? Yahoo
18:08
Speaker 2: Finance allows him to put the lie out there again,
18:11
Speaker 2: the lie that inflation was nine percent when he came in.
18:14
Speaker 7: I think inflation has gone slightly up this was at
18:17
Speaker 7: nine percent when I came in and it's now down
18:19
Speaker 7: around three percent. But the fact is that I think
18:23
Speaker 7: people are just uncertain.
18:25
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
18:27
Speaker 2: They must sit in a room at the White House
18:29
Speaker 2: and say, Okay, there's a lot of dumb Americans.
18:32
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stupid people.
18:34
Speaker 2: We're gonna make up a number so that it looks
18:37
Speaker 2: like we actually fought inflation instead of inflation rising under
18:42
Speaker 2: our watch. And we're just going to go out there
18:43
Speaker 2: and tell people that inflation was nine percent when we
18:46
Speaker 2: came into office, and they're gonna believe us.
18:49
Speaker 1: And then we're going to tell them it's at three percent.
18:51
Speaker 2: So it's a twofold, you know, reduction and inflation, and
18:55
Speaker 2: they're gonna somehow think that we're.
18:57
Speaker 1: Brilliant for this.
18:59
Speaker 2: Everybody members when Joe Biden became president, and they remember
19:03
Speaker 2: what they were paying when Donald Trump was the president,
19:07
Speaker 2: whether it's groceries, whether it's rent, whether it's whether it's
19:11
Speaker 2: housing prices, whether it's costs of goods and services, whether
19:15
Speaker 2: it's gas prices, whether it's energy prices. In general, like,
19:20
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. People aren't stupid. They understand that it
19:24
Speaker 2: costs an insane amount of money now to survive in
19:29
Speaker 2: this country compared to what it used to be. Now,
19:33
Speaker 2: let me go back to that clip I mentioned a
19:34
Speaker 2: moment ago. Jared Bernstein is the man at the White House.
19:40
Speaker 2: Jared Bernstein is a guy that is supposed to be
19:43
Speaker 2: able to explain everything when it comes to monetary policy,
19:47
Speaker 2: and he struggled to explain why we don't just print
19:52
Speaker 2: all of the money the government uses.
19:55
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand how the economy works.
19:58
Speaker 2: Now, the the important to these debates is you bring
20:02
Speaker 2: up the policies which are disaster by this administration. Jared Bernstein,
20:07
Speaker 2: who's the top advised the president economic policy, struggled to
20:11
Speaker 2: explain why we don't just print all the money the
20:13
Speaker 2: government uses, like we need another trillion, just print it.
20:17
Speaker 2: Who cares listen to this insanity?
20:21
Speaker 9: The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print
20:24
Speaker 9: our own money.
20:26
Speaker 10: It obviously begs the question why exactly are we borrowing
20:29
Speaker 10: in a currency that we print ourselves. I'm waiting for
20:32
Speaker 10: someone to stand up and say, why do we borrow
20:35
Speaker 10: our own currency in the first place?
20:39
Speaker 11: Like you said, they print the dollar, so why does
20:41
Speaker 11: the government even borrow?
20:43
Speaker 9: Well, the uh SO the I mean again, some of
20:51
Speaker 9: this stuff gets some of the language that them, some
20:55
Speaker 9: of the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean,
20:57
Speaker 9: the government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money.
21:02
Speaker 9: Which is why the government definitely prints money, and then
21:05
Speaker 9: it lends that money by selling bonds. Is that what
21:09
Speaker 9: they do?
21:11
Speaker 2: They they.
21:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, they.
21:16
Speaker 1: Sell bonds.
21:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, they sell bonds, right, since they sell bonds and
21:19
Speaker 9: people buy the bonds and lend them the money.
21:21
Speaker 8: Yeah.
21:22
Speaker 9: So a lot of times, a lot of times, at
21:25
Speaker 9: least to my year with MMT, the language and the
21:28
Speaker 9: concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing, But there is
21:31
Speaker 9: no question that the government prints money and then it
21:34
Speaker 9: uses that money to So yeah, I guess I'm just
21:44
Speaker 9: I don't I can't really talk.
21:45
Speaker 8: I don't.
21:45
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
21:46
Speaker 9: I don't know what they're talking about, like, because it's like,
21:50
Speaker 9: the government clearly prints money, it does it all the time,
21:53
Speaker 9: and it clearly borrows Otherwise we wouldn't be having this
21:57
Speaker 9: debt and definesst conversation. So I don't think there's any
22:00
Speaker 9: and confusing there.
22:02
Speaker 1: I'm confused.
22:03
Speaker 2: This is a basic question asked by somebody, and you're
22:06
Speaker 2: supposed to be able to answer this because you're the
22:08
Speaker 2: chair of the Council of Economic Advisors to President Joe Biden.
22:12
Speaker 2: So when they're telling you that inflation is at nine
22:15
Speaker 2: percent and it's not, and they go out on TV
22:18
Speaker 2: and they just continue to tell this lie over and
22:20
Speaker 2: over and over and over and over again, that it
22:23
Speaker 2: was at nine percent when he became the president of
22:25
Speaker 2: the United States of America and he's lying to you.
22:28
Speaker 2: Everyone needs to be calling this out. And this is
22:33
Speaker 2: why these debates are going to be so important, right,
22:37
Speaker 2: it's so important.
22:38
Speaker 1: Here's something else that just makes me laugh.
22:41
Speaker 2: MSNBC's Nicole Wallace praises a video of Biden challenging Donald
22:47
Speaker 2: Trump to a debate.
22:48
Speaker 1: I mentioned the beginning.
22:49
Speaker 2: It's like he got his Mojoe back because what he's
22:53
Speaker 2: going to debate, you know, debating is just part of
22:56
Speaker 2: becoming the president and running for president, Like this isn't
22:59
Speaker 2: something you should be in pressing people with. Like the
23:03
Speaker 2: fact that the standard has become so low, the bar
23:05
Speaker 2: is so low now for Joe Biden that we have
23:08
Speaker 2: to praise him for debating tells you just how far
23:12
Speaker 2: gone we are yet. Listen to the propagandists, the Marxist,
23:16
Speaker 2: socialists and communists at MSNBC.
23:19
Speaker 1: Oh chump Well's two.
23:20
Speaker 7: Debates to me in twenty twenty, de Sound said he
23:22
Speaker 7: hadn't shown up for debates. Now, exactly what you want
23:24
Speaker 7: to debate me again?
23:25
Speaker 1: Well, make my day, pal. I'll even do it twice.
23:29
Speaker 1: Let's pick the days.
23:30
Speaker 7: Donald, I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
23:34
Speaker 12: A picatrol hign everybody, it's five o'guard in New York
23:37
Speaker 12: and what is already shaping up to be your unconventional
23:40
Speaker 12: presidential debate season. So this morning that video was released
23:45
Speaker 12: by President Joe Biden. You can see for yourself. He
23:47
Speaker 12: came out swinging this trolling of Donald Trump, saying here,
23:51
Speaker 12: you're free on Wednesdays. He challenged Trump to two presidential
23:54
Speaker 12: debates while teasing him a bit about his current state
23:57
Speaker 12: as a criminal Defendant's video was accompanied by a letter
24:02
Speaker 12: that his campaign sent to the Commission on Presidential Debates
24:05
Speaker 12: that outlined that he would not be participating in the debates.
24:08
Speaker 12: Space setup. Among the Biden campaigns reasons for that, they
24:12
Speaker 12: said the Commission's proposed debates come too late in the process,
24:16
Speaker 12: that their debates are structured like an entertainment spectacle and
24:19
Speaker 12: not a serious exchange of ideas, and that the Commission
24:22
Speaker 12: was quote unable or unwilling to enforce the rules, referencing
24:25
Speaker 12: Trump's talking over President Joe Biden and moderators in past debates.
24:30
Speaker 1: Here's it. I love this right.
24:32
Speaker 2: They call it an epic troll because you have the
24:35
Speaker 2: President of the United States of America, Joe Biden saying
24:38
Speaker 2: bring it on, and then saying, I hear you're free
24:40
Speaker 2: on Wednesdays, mocking the fact that he's in this show
24:44
Speaker 2: trial in New York City that is trying to put
24:47
Speaker 2: the president out of the campaign trail, off the campaign
24:51
Speaker 2: trail that's been successful now for a month, more than
24:54
Speaker 2: a month, when this whole thing ends, and him mocking
24:57
Speaker 2: the fact and basically giving the mental finger to Trump
25:00
Speaker 2: saying like, yeah, hey, look at what we're doing to you, buddy.
25:03
Speaker 2: You're locked up in court, so bring it on. And
25:07
Speaker 2: then the media is like, oh my gosh, he's got
25:09
Speaker 2: his mojo back because he agreed to do something in
25:13
Speaker 2: politics which is as necessary as a human being having
25:18
Speaker 2: to use the restroom every day, like debating is part
25:22
Speaker 2: is just if you're gonna run for president, you have
25:25
Speaker 2: to debate, like that's how normal it is.
25:27
Speaker 1: It's not done.
25:29
Speaker 2: You don't get a high five because as an adult
25:32
Speaker 2: you go to the restroom.
25:34
Speaker 1: It's part of life.
25:35
Speaker 2: Well, being a president running for president, you're going to debate.
25:39
Speaker 1: It's part of what you sign up for.
25:41
Speaker 2: And yet they're sitting there and they're acting like this
25:44
Speaker 2: is some grand feat by him, right the grand feet
25:48
Speaker 2: go to CNN and David Challen. They're political guru expert guy.
25:54
Speaker 2: What does he say about CNN hosting the first debate
25:57
Speaker 2: on June the twenty seventh. Listen to this crap.
26:00
Speaker 13: I want to bring in seeing in political director David Cholling.
26:02
Speaker 13: David put into context how big a moment this is
26:06
Speaker 13: for the campaigns. I have to admit I thought it
26:08
Speaker 13: was entirely possible there wouldn't be debates.
26:11
Speaker 11: Yeah, clearly we have seen each campaign Jake make the
26:15
Speaker 11: calculation a debate is in their interest, for one on
26:18
Speaker 11: the Biden side, as Jeff just laid out, because you
26:20
Speaker 11: don't want to be dogged that you're afraid to debate,
26:22
Speaker 11: and for Donald Trump, he is eager for the contrast
26:26
Speaker 11: on the stage physically side by side. As we know
26:30
Speaker 11: throughout this entire campaign.
26:31
Speaker 1: He's made that clear.
26:32
Speaker 11: To stand on a stage with Joe Biden, I would
26:34
Speaker 11: just say, because of the stability of the race, there
26:37
Speaker 11: really is a potential for this to be a major
26:40
Speaker 11: shaking up kind of event. It's also got massive historical significance.
26:45
Speaker 1: Jake.
26:45
Speaker 11: I mean, you and I were not around for those
26:47
Speaker 11: televised debates in eighteen ninety two. But we haven't seen
26:50
Speaker 11: a former president of the United States who was defeated
26:54
Speaker 11: as president debate the guy who succeeded him as president
26:59
Speaker 11: on the stage together in a televised debate. It's just
27:03
Speaker 11: a totally unprecedented situation. So much of this election could
27:07
Speaker 11: be described that way.
27:08
Speaker 13: Thank you for acknowledging I was not there for the
27:10
Speaker 13: Grover Cleveland debate.
27:11
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
27:12
Speaker 13: David Wilson ends debate.
27:15
Speaker 2: It's amazing, right, I mean, it truly is amazing the
27:20
Speaker 2: way that they described this.
27:21
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh, well, you know, they had to
27:23
Speaker 1: do this.
27:24
Speaker 2: And it's so great that this is going to happen,
27:26
Speaker 2: and it was, you know, and he's showing up and
27:29
Speaker 2: he's just doing amazing things here.
27:32
Speaker 1: Right.
27:32
Speaker 2: It's incredible that that Joe Biden is going to debate
27:35
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, and we're gonna host it here on the
27:38
Speaker 2: Communist News Network, and it's going to be truly incredible
27:42
Speaker 2: to see how this plays out. No studio audience, not
27:47
Speaker 2: going to do debates the way they've normally been done.
27:50
Speaker 2: But by golly, let's give him just all of this
27:54
Speaker 2: incredible press acting like he's done some amazing thing show
28:00
Speaker 2: showing up to debate for a job that you're supposed
28:03
Speaker 2: to show up to debate. CNN, by the way, when
28:08
Speaker 2: they announced it, listen to how they did it.
28:11
Speaker 1: It's hysterical, breaking me in the newsroom.
28:15
Speaker 4: I'm Will Blitzer in Washington, and we begin with a
28:17
Speaker 4: major development in the twenty twenty four presidential race here
28:21
Speaker 4: in the United States. President Joe Biden and Donald Trump
28:24
Speaker 4: have just accepted CNN's invitation to hold a debate on
28:29
Speaker 4: June twenty seventh. That's just in a few weeks. That's
28:32
Speaker 4: months earlier that traditional face offs take place between two
28:36
Speaker 4: presidential candidates.
28:38
Speaker 1: The announcement comes.
28:39
Speaker 4: After a heated back and forth earlier this morning between
28:42
Speaker 4: the two. The president to challenged Trump to two debates
28:46
Speaker 4: and then trolled him over his hush money trial.
28:48
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
28:51
Speaker 7: Donald Trump lost two debates to me in twenty twenty
28:54
Speaker 7: Sain Sandy hadn't shown up for debate now exactly like
28:56
Speaker 7: he wants to debate me again. Will make my day, Pal,
29:00
Speaker 7: I'll even do it twice. Let's pick the dates. Donald,
29:03
Speaker 7: I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
29:05
Speaker 1: I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
29:08
Speaker 2: I love how they put the trash talking in the
29:10
Speaker 2: debate while they're supposed to be right, like non bias
29:13
Speaker 2: for the debate. Right in the debate, you're supposed to
29:16
Speaker 2: not be a part of the story, not only to
29:18
Speaker 2: see an announce it, but then they talk trash about
29:21
Speaker 2: Donald Trump in their announcement, playing the video from Joe
29:24
Speaker 2: Biden trolling Donald Trump and his court case on Wednesdays.
29:29
Speaker 2: You think it's going to be fair. No, I'm not
29:32
Speaker 2: worried though. Donald Trump is going to destroy him in
29:36
Speaker 2: these debates because of just how bad his policies are,
29:39
Speaker 2: how bad the economy is, how bad the issues are
29:42
Speaker 2: with the open border, national security, terrorists coming across the border,
29:46
Speaker 2: and what he's done to say to Israel, I'm not
29:48
Speaker 2: helping you anymore. And that's why these debates are going
29:52
Speaker 2: to be so important, don't forget. Share this podcast please
29:56
Speaker 2: on social media wherever you are, and if you would
29:59
Speaker 2: write us a five star review wherever you're listening. It
30:01

30:05
Speaker 2: you back here tomorrow morning.
