BIDEN WHITE HOUSE BLAMES YOU for inflation and says "YOU NEED TO DO MORE" · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Bailing on Biden. There are new poll numbers out showing
0:03
Speaker 1: that Democrats can't stand them and they're ready to get
0:06
Speaker 1: rid of them. And that means that the mainstream media
0:09
Speaker 1: is gonna start doing their job, which is to get
0:13
Speaker 1: rid of Joe Biden. This as Gavin Newsom starts making
0:17
Speaker 1: plays in California to run for president of the United
0:21
Speaker 1: States of America. And while this is going on, the
0:24
Speaker 1: economy's on fire, and the Hunter Biden story now may
0:28
Speaker 1: become an asset for the Democratic Party to dismiss Joe
0:32
Speaker 1: Biden from the White House. Just take a listen to
0:37
Speaker 1: the beginning of one of the primetime shows, Aaron Burnett
0:41
Speaker 1: Upfront on CNN, because they now have this new CNN
0:44
Speaker 1: poll showing that seventy five percent of Democrats do not
0:49
Speaker 1: want Joe Biden to run again in this country for president.
0:53
Speaker 1: This as we have a baby formulas shortage that apparently
0:57
Speaker 1: right now is worse than it's been the entire time
1:00
Speaker 1: since it began. This after the White House promise they
1:03
Speaker 1: would fix the problem, they can't even fix that. And
1:07
Speaker 1: now you know why seventy five percent of Democrats say
1:10
Speaker 1: we don't want anything to do with Joe Biden moving
1:13
Speaker 1: forward tonight seventy five. The vast majority of Democrats three
1:19
Speaker 1: out of four, don't want Biden to be their nominee
1:21
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. That is according to a new
1:23
Speaker 1: CNN poll out front. Now, David Axelrod, former senior advisor
1:26
Speaker 1: to President Obama, David, I've heard that and sort of
1:30
Speaker 1: stopped in my tracks for a second. Three quarters of
1:32
Speaker 1: Democrats don't want the incumbent president to run again. Now,
1:37
Speaker 1: remember this is David Axelrod that's about to answer this question.
1:40
Speaker 1: This is the like the chief guy. This is the
1:43
Speaker 1: Carl Rove of the Obama Biden presidency during that eight years.
1:49
Speaker 1: This is one of the top political strategists of the
1:52
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. So he's now being put in a very
1:55
Speaker 1: awkward situation. He's a CNN guy, but he's got to
1:59
Speaker 1: go on there and basically figure out how to rip
2:02
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden without ripping on Joe Biden again, very
2:06
Speaker 1: tough scenario for him, and listen to how he even
2:09
Speaker 1: plays it. How worried should Biden be right now about that? Well,
2:16
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this is a this is a very
2:18
Speaker 1: unhappy bit of data for him, and I'm sure you
2:22
Speaker 1: know it is concerning, but we should point out that
2:26
Speaker 1: he's got two and a half years before the next election,
2:30
Speaker 1: or a little less than two and a half years,
2:32
Speaker 1: So you can over you can get overly focused on
2:35
Speaker 1: one number, but there are a series of numbers that
2:37
Speaker 1: are not good from His overall approval rating is hovering
2:40
Speaker 1: there between thirty seven and thirty eight, and uh, you
2:44
Speaker 1: know that isn't that isn't deadly. We were fifteen months
2:48
Speaker 1: out when Barack Obama got a thirty eight percent approval
2:52
Speaker 1: rating and ended up winning an electoral landslide. But uh,
2:57
Speaker 1: you know, the time will come when his numbers have
3:00
Speaker 1: to be accounted for it. He's going to have to
3:02
Speaker 1: make a decision. That time is not now, so in
3:06
Speaker 1: between now and that time is the big elephant in
3:09
Speaker 1: the room right the economy. Americans are upset and they're anxious,
3:13
Speaker 1: and President Obama said at the President Obama, President Biden
3:17
Speaker 1: said this about the state of the economy. My hope
3:22
Speaker 1: is we go from this rapid growth to a steady growth.
3:25
Speaker 1: And so I see we'll see some coming down, But
3:28
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to God willing. I don't
3:31
Speaker 1: think we're going to see the recession. Put semantics aside.
3:36
Speaker 1: Is framing the experience that so many Americans are having
3:39
Speaker 1: right now of surging costs and weakening job market in
3:44
Speaker 1: some crucial sectors. Is that the way to frame it?
3:47
Speaker 1: Is it effective? Well, look, it is difficult because on
3:52
Speaker 1: the one hand, he's looking at numbers that show progress
3:55
Speaker 1: in a lot of other areas, including employment in this
3:59
Speaker 1: country that he considers, you know, to his credit, to
4:04
Speaker 1: his policies credit, and he wants people to see it
4:06
Speaker 1: that way, and he doesn't want to talk the economy down.
4:09
Speaker 1: But you do have to link up to where people live.
4:11
Speaker 1: And right now people are at you know, the gas
4:14
Speaker 1: prices are coming down, they're still high, they're going to
4:16
Speaker 1: grocery stores. They watch those numbers climb and there is
4:20
Speaker 1: general unhappiness and that's reflected all over the polling. People
4:24
Speaker 1: think that country is headed in the wrong direction. They
4:26
Speaker 1: have very you know, consumer confidence has gone down again
4:30
Speaker 1: in numbers that were released today. These are all concerning
4:33
Speaker 1: and he needs them to turn around, There's no doubt
4:36
Speaker 1: about it. He needs improvement on inflation, he needs public
4:40
Speaker 1: attitudes to improve, and he needs to be careful about
4:44
Speaker 1: not getting out of sync with people's experience as he
4:48
Speaker 1: talks about him. I love this, right, this is the
4:51
Speaker 1: Democrats going, oh crap, seventy five percent Democrats say, basically,
4:56
Speaker 1: Joe Biden sucks. That's what they're saying. They're saying, Joe
4:59
Speaker 1: Biden doesn't understand what he's doing. He doesn't understand how
5:03
Speaker 1: bad it is out there for us. He doesn't understand
5:06
Speaker 1: what's happening. Right, And Elizabeth Warren is out there clearly
5:09
Speaker 1: now she's getting ready to try to run for president again.
5:12
Speaker 1: She goes on CNBC Today and she warns she now
5:17
Speaker 1: is saying, well, the feed should moderate their aggressive interest
5:20
Speaker 1: rate hikes because it is a pitch that the pits
5:25
Speaker 1: the economy into a recession. Really. Now, before I continue

Speaker 1: or online at Legacy PM Investments. It's Legacy PM investments
6:40
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, now, let me get back to
6:42
Speaker 1: this story. They're trying to get an inflation under control
6:45
Speaker 1: by raising interest rates. You guys weren't paying attention to
6:48
Speaker 1: all of this. You guys spent totally out of control
6:52
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars that we didn't have when you first
6:55
Speaker 1: got into office, and we're running the House, Senate in
6:57
Speaker 1: the White House, which you're doing right now, and now
7:00
Speaker 1: you want to blame what's happening with its economy on
7:04
Speaker 1: the Fed and you're the ones that have basically decided
7:07
Speaker 1: who's in charge of our economic policy. Listen is Senator
7:10
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, Senator, welcome back. Great to have you, Thank you,
7:14
Speaker 1: good to be with you. They say, don't fight the FED,
7:17
Speaker 1: but you seem interested in at least fighting the notion
7:19
Speaker 1: that rate hikes can help offset inflation. Why. Look, I'm
7:24
Speaker 1: very concerned that we know what the causes, or at
7:27
Speaker 1: least some of the causes of inflation, are supply chain problems,
7:31
Speaker 1: COVID outbreaks that continue around the world, Vladimir Putin, invading
7:36
Speaker 1: the Ukraine. Monopolies or near monopolies that are engaging in
7:40
Speaker 1: price gouging, and increases in the interest rate won't fix
7:46
Speaker 1: any of this. And Jerome Powell has actually admitted that
7:50
Speaker 1: in testimony before Congress, and yet he continues to drive
7:56
Speaker 1: forward with whatso far have been historically fast, aggressive, high
8:02
Speaker 1: interest rate increases. So if it's not going to help
8:06
Speaker 1: bring down a lot of the prices in our economy,
8:09
Speaker 1: what it can do is actually pitch this economy into
8:13
Speaker 1: a recession. So I think that that's something the FED
8:17
Speaker 1: should consider, and I think they should moderate this aggressive attack.
8:23
Speaker 1: I love it right and I'm Elizabeth Warren and I'm
8:26
Speaker 1: running for president. Like they're all seeing that the bloods
8:28
Speaker 1: in the water. That's why they're all come out and
8:31
Speaker 1: they're all talking this way. They're all acting like they've
8:34
Speaker 1: got something to offer that is different than what you
8:39
Speaker 1: just have from this Biden administration, and they're trying to
8:41
Speaker 1: separate themselves. Now, you also have another problem in Georgia
8:44
Speaker 1: right now. In Georgia, you had these Democrats that were
8:48
Speaker 1: able to win some of these statewide seats and go
8:51
Speaker 1: to DC. Now what you're seeing and what you're witnessing
8:55
Speaker 1: is they are having buyer's remorse in a place it's
8:58
Speaker 1: been traditionally more concern ervative. And this morning on Fox
9:03
Speaker 1: Brian killed me with Fox and Friends. Was walking around
9:05
Speaker 1: in a diner talking to voters, and this is what
9:09
Speaker 1: one of the families had to say, what's the number
9:11
Speaker 1: one issue as you discuss the things that matter most
9:14
Speaker 1: to the people here the economy and inflation. So for
9:17
Speaker 1: you personally, you have to make a career decision, don't you. Well,
9:20
Speaker 1: we retired last year and we've seen our four one
9:23
Speaker 1: K go down about fifteen percent since Biden's been in office.
9:27
Speaker 1: And that makes you rethink what, well we need to
9:30
Speaker 1: go back to work or not. And when you's going
9:33
Speaker 1: to really hinge on that decision, how much how much
9:35
Speaker 1: worse it gets? Yeah, now that's coming out, and this
9:39
Speaker 1: is the guy that clearly has buyer's remorse. We now
9:43
Speaker 1: have been told that three out of every ten Americans,
9:48
Speaker 1: three out of every ten Americans cancel their summer vacation
9:53
Speaker 1: plans just due to the high gas prices. Not another
9:58
Speaker 1: segment on CNN, John King, their chief political guy, talking
10:03
Speaker 1: about the Democrats frustration with Biden. Take a listen to
10:07
Speaker 1: what he had to say. Relating it back to the election, John,
10:10
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this CNN poll because
10:12
Speaker 1: it shows that seventy five percent of Democratic voters actually
10:15
Speaker 1: want someone other than Joe Biden in twenty twenty four.
10:20
Speaker 1: Can you win with numbers like that? Well, again, we're
10:22
Speaker 1: having this conversation three months before the twenty twenty two midterms.
10:26
Speaker 1: What happens in those midterms will say a lot more
10:29
Speaker 1: Brianna than any poll today about Joe Biden standing in
10:32
Speaker 1: the country and Joe Biden standing within his own Democratic Party.
10:35
Speaker 1: But what does that show you? Look, we have talked
10:37
Speaker 1: about this before. What have we all been through for
10:39
Speaker 1: going on three years now, a COVID pandemic that hits
10:42
Speaker 1: you in the head like a two by four. Every
10:43
Speaker 1: time you think it's about to fade, it hits you again.
10:46
Speaker 1: We're waiting for a FED meeting today. They're going to
10:48
Speaker 1: raise interest rates again, hopefully to help tame inflation. But
10:52
Speaker 1: what does that mean. It increases the cost if you're
10:54
Speaker 1: trying to buy a house. It increases the cost of
10:56
Speaker 1: your credit cards. The American people, whether you're a Democrat,
10:58
Speaker 1: a Republican, a cranky independent, you're exhausted, you're frustrated. If
11:03
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, you were promised the moon after the
11:05
Speaker 1: Democrats won those two Georgia Senate seats. You were promised
11:08
Speaker 1: sweeping legislation on climate, sweeping legislation on childcare, sweeping legislation
11:13
Speaker 1: on just about everything under the Democratic umbrella. You didn't
11:16
Speaker 1: get most of that, didn't you. So you're frustrated that
11:18
Speaker 1: that's you have your normal frustrations that all Americans have.
11:20
Speaker 1: Then you have your partisan frustrations because Democrats thought with
11:23
Speaker 1: all democratic government they were gonna get so much. Democrats
11:26
Speaker 1: clearly over promised, so they are frustrated and who do
11:28
Speaker 1: you take that out on the guy in charge? That's
11:30
Speaker 1: called human nature. But we'll see where we are. I
11:32
Speaker 1: love this. It's the guy in charge, it's human nature.
11:35
Speaker 1: Or you just blame the guy in charge because the
11:37
Speaker 1: guy in charge is what created the problem. Why do
11:41
Speaker 1: they say human nature, Well, it's just human nature here
11:44
Speaker 1: to do you blame the guy that's in charge. No,
11:46
Speaker 1: you blame the guy who's literally in charge, because the
11:49
Speaker 1: guy who's in charge is the guy that's making the policies.
11:53
Speaker 1: John King, you know this. Democrats clearly overpromised, so they
11:57
Speaker 1: are frustrated, and who do you take that out on
11:59
Speaker 1: the guy in charge? It's called human nature. But we'll
12:01
Speaker 1: see where we are after the midterm. You know. The
12:02
Speaker 1: White House's pointing to Washington Post reporting which says that
12:05
Speaker 1: maybe Democrats are posed poicte for three victories in Congress,
12:08
Speaker 1: not maybe huge ones, but ones that they can perhaps
12:11
Speaker 1: talt on on drug pricing, on computer chips, and also
12:14
Speaker 1: potentially coutifying same sex marriage. That's another issue, John, I
12:18
Speaker 1: love this. Right. They're like, well, maybe we'll get some
12:19
Speaker 1: same sex marriage kind of fied in here, and some
12:22
Speaker 1: computer chip deals done before election day and that'll save us. Okay,
12:26
Speaker 1: good luck with that. Let me know, I cannot wait
12:29
Speaker 1: to watch now all of this economic, all these issues
12:34
Speaker 1: that we're having is also coming now as the bigger
12:39
Speaker 1: issue is creeping in, and that is if we Republicans
12:42
Speaker 1: do win back the Senate, the Republicans are going to
12:47
Speaker 1: have to follow up on all that Hunter Biden and
12:50
Speaker 1: Joe Biden have done. And they know that they're not
12:53
Speaker 1: going to be able to block information anymore, like the
12:55
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty different flags from their bank accounts
12:59
Speaker 1: for ship and corrupt business dealings with oligarchs and would
13:03
Speaker 1: possible territize the terrorism around the world. Right, all of
13:06
Speaker 1: that's gonna come out and oversight. Republicans are now following
13:10
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's money trail, demanding answers from a financial advisor.
13:16
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what was said by Senator Johnson,
13:18
Speaker 1: who's now demanding answers after Hunter Biden's FBI whistleblowers have
13:23
Speaker 1: come forward and said that the FBI deliberately tried to
13:28
Speaker 1: silence and shut down this entire investigation, and they did
13:33
Speaker 1: it because they knew what they were hiding, which was
13:36
Speaker 1: crimes committed by the Biden crime family, and there's no
13:39
Speaker 1: way to separate Hunter Biden from Joe Biden. And look,
13:42
Speaker 1: Democrats understand this, and I think they understand they got
13:45
Speaker 1: to get rid of Joe Biden as soon as the
13:47
Speaker 1: midterms are over. Now tonight a Hannahy investigation, more developments
13:51
Speaker 1: have come to light surrounding mister zero experience Hunter Biden
13:55
Speaker 1: as multiple highly credible whistleblowers. Democrats love whistleblowers right. They
14:00
Speaker 1: have now come forward to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley detailing
14:04
Speaker 1: what they say is an effort from inside the FBI
14:08
Speaker 1: to discredit information about Hunter Biden and his nefarious foreign dealings.
14:12
Speaker 1: According to Grassley's letter to the FBI, quote, the allegations
14:16
Speaker 1: provided to my office appear to indicate that there was
14:19
Speaker 1: a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine
14:24
Speaker 1: derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it
14:28
Speaker 1: was disinformation. Now, it was just the latest evidence of
14:32
Speaker 1: a two tier justice system inside the FBI and this
14:36
Speaker 1: politicized Department of Justice, and how these institutions are both politicized.
14:41
Speaker 1: And that's not all. According to a new report from
14:43
Speaker 1: The Washington Examiner, Delaware police considered Hunter Biden the victim
14:49
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen when his handgun was tossed near
14:52
Speaker 1: a grocery store by his sister in law, Halle Biden.
14:56
Speaker 1: No charges ever filed in the incident, Arge is connected
15:00
Speaker 1: to him lying on his gun application, and tonight, Wisconsin
15:04
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson has also sent a letter to the
15:06
Speaker 1: FBI Director Christopher Ray, pressing the bureau for more transparency
15:11
Speaker 1: and laying out more evidence to their efforts to undermine
15:16
Speaker 1: the investigation and the Hunter Biden and the Biden family
15:18
Speaker 1: syndicate here with reaction. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. By the way,
15:23
Speaker 1: I have noticed, and many are taking note, tens of
15:26
Speaker 1: millions of dollars from outside of Wisconsin is slowing into
15:30
Speaker 1: your state to try to take you out. You've become
15:33
Speaker 1: the number one target for Democrats in this election cycle.
15:37
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's an honor or distinction, but
15:40
Speaker 1: it's happening. Is that true? It's over forty four million
15:44
Speaker 1: dollars so far. So Ron Johnson Forcenter dot Com. I'm
15:47
Speaker 1: going need a lot of help if you want me
15:48
Speaker 1: to continue my investigations. Yeah, I'm sure that everybody in
15:52
Speaker 1: Wisconsin loves people outside of Wisconsin telling them who to
15:55
Speaker 1: vote for. All right, this is important because if you
15:58
Speaker 1: go back to twenty sixteen, there was a big lie
16:01
Speaker 1: perpetrated Hillary Clinton's Boughton paid for dirty Russian dossier then
16:06
Speaker 1: becomes the basis of a FISA application. It's unverifiable, it's
16:10
Speaker 1: been debunked for separate warrants, never verified or verifiable. Then
16:15
Speaker 1: in the lead up to the twenty twenty election, weeks before,
16:18
Speaker 1: we get this laptop from Hell. Now it's been verified,
16:22
Speaker 1: and yet still the FBI and people in the media
16:26
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party and all these Intel officials passed
16:30
Speaker 1: and present. Oh no, no, this looks like Russian disinformation.
16:34
Speaker 1: So they use Russia in two elections, in two different
16:36
Speaker 1: ways to impact our elections. How many? How many more times?
16:40
Speaker 1: Are the Democrats is going to play that game and
16:41
Speaker 1: get away with it? Oh, it's their playbook. Let me
16:46
Speaker 1: first thank the whistle blowers for coming forward. We need
16:49
Speaker 1: a lot more whistle blowers inside the FBI, Department Justice,
16:52
Speaker 1: the federal health agencies. If we're going to restore credibility
16:55
Speaker 1: to these agencies, we need to know the truth and
16:58
Speaker 1: that's going to require whistle blowers. But unfortunately Sean I
17:01
Speaker 1: don't find this revelation shocking. It's outrageous. But you know,
17:06
Speaker 1: there's so many things that were suspicious. You know, for example,
17:09
Speaker 1: Senator Grassy and I both received briefings we didn't request
17:12
Speaker 1: from the FBI. They were later leaked to the Washington
17:16
Speaker 1: Post to smear us and discredit our our investigation. I'll
17:20
Speaker 1: never forget Peter Struck's text to Lisa Page said that
17:24
Speaker 1: our sisters are leaking like mad, feeling scorned, worried, and political.
17:28
Speaker 1: They're kicking to overdrive now now we're finding out from
17:32
Speaker 1: these whistleblowers that the FBI actually had you know, I
17:35
Speaker 1: don't know what you would call it, but individuals specifically
17:39
Speaker 1: taking derogatory information about against Hunter Biden, downgrading it to
17:44
Speaker 1: end the investigations. Were they were they responsible talking to
17:48
Speaker 1: their intelligence sisters of the fifty one intelligence officials that
17:52
Speaker 1: came forward and engage their own information operation when they
17:56
Speaker 1: said the Hunter Biden's laptop had all the earmarks of
18:00
Speaker 1: the Russian information operation, this is dirty, this is corrupt.
18:05
Speaker 1: We need answers and Christopher Ray, Attorney General Merritt Garland,
18:12
Speaker 1: these people have to come clean and tell us what
18:14
Speaker 1: we know. This may need, we may need a special
18:17
Speaker 1: counsel on this one. Well, I would agree with you,
18:20
Speaker 1: but why would we have any confidence in them? Because
18:22
Speaker 1: you mentioned what we could talk about. Come McCabe, Struck Page,
18:26
Speaker 1: and a whole list of other people nobody's ever held accountable,
18:30
Speaker 1: and then time passes and they move on. Christopher Ray
18:32
Speaker 1: hasn't cleaned up the FBI. He hasn't done it. He
18:35
Speaker 1: hasn't lifted a finger to take on the abuse of
18:39
Speaker 1: power that took place with the Russian lie or the
18:42
Speaker 1: Lives to the Fives accord on four separate occasions. He
18:46
Speaker 1: hasn't taken on any of the people that said Hunter
18:48
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop was disinformation. He hasn't done anything to clean
18:52
Speaker 1: any everything up. And as far as the Department of Justice, Okay,
18:57
Speaker 1: what happened on January sixth was wrong. I said it
18:59
Speaker 1: in real time. I said it that night on this show.
19:02
Speaker 1: I'll say it again tonight. But so of the five
19:04
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four riots in the summer of twenty
19:07
Speaker 1: twenty that, if I'm not mistaken. Kamala Harris defended and said, beware,
19:12
Speaker 1: take note. They won't stop. They shouldn't stop. We're not
19:15
Speaker 1: going to stop and then promoted a bail fund for
19:18
Speaker 1: the rioters. How Come that's not important. How come the
19:21
Speaker 1: people on videotape rioting and burning down you know, businesses
19:25
Speaker 1: and police precincts. How come those people haven't been held
19:28
Speaker 1: accountable Because we have highly partisan political actors inside these
19:33
Speaker 1: federal agencies. And that's why we need to get to
19:35
Speaker 1: the bottom of this. This is why we need more
19:37
Speaker 1: whistleblowers coming forward. Patriots that actually appreciate their agencies want
19:43
Speaker 1: to see credibility, integrity restoring to them. The only way
19:46
Speaker 1: we're going to restore that credibility because I don't trust Chrispherray. Remember,
19:49
Speaker 1: under his leadership, the FBI brief the Senate Intel Committee
19:53
Speaker 1: in March of twenty and eighteen that the Steel dossier
19:57
Speaker 1: had integrity even though the FBI knew was Russian disinformation.
20:00
Speaker 1: He's the one who was there well, this operation was
20:02
Speaker 1: apparently set up. This is exactly why you can see
20:06
Speaker 1: the Democrats turning on Biden because if Johnson is able
20:12
Speaker 1: to continue his investigation with majority power, right, and these
20:17
Speaker 1: whistleblowers are then able to be heard from, the entire
20:23
Speaker 1: thing completely changes. You know, the FBI, by the way
20:29
Speaker 1: is supposed to be and the DOJ is supposed to
20:34
Speaker 1: be above reproach. The problem is they're not the GOP
20:40
Speaker 1: alleging that these whistle blowers the dj has covered up
20:44
Speaker 1: these Hunter Biden findings on purpose, right, which is exactly
20:48
Speaker 1: what they're doing and making basically opening fake investigations to
20:53
Speaker 1: then cover up the crimes of Hunter Biden by closing
20:57
Speaker 1: the same investigation, saying it's discredit that this is a
21:02
Speaker 1: cover up that is far outside of Joe and Hunter Biden.
21:04
Speaker 1: This is now deep state people, the FBI and the
21:08
Speaker 1: DOJ who are breaking laws. Listen. Yeah, I've said several
21:14
Speaker 1: times that Chris Ray needs to get this partisan nature
21:19
Speaker 1: and any political bias out of the FBI, you know,
21:23
Speaker 1: and this example, we were just talking about this FBI
21:25
Speaker 1: agent that Chuck Grassley's asking questions about had very derogatory
21:30
Speaker 1: social media postings, which you know, again makes no sense
21:34
Speaker 1: why an FBI agent would be on social media doing politics,
21:37
Speaker 1: but was. And so these are the kind of things
21:40
Speaker 1: that raise questions. And I think Chuck Grassley is absolutely right,
21:46
Speaker 1: and you know, my point as well is that the
21:47
Speaker 1: FBI and the Department of Justice needs to be above politics.
21:50
Speaker 1: And right now, especially this January sixth investigation, but in
21:54
Speaker 1: the Hunter and Biden investigation appear to be have a
21:58
Speaker 1: partisan tint to it, and it's not good for the
22:01
Speaker 1: rule of law in the long term success to the
22:04
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. This is Matthew Whittaker, by the way,
22:07
Speaker 1: the former acting Attorney General who's saying this, it's all political.
22:11
Speaker 1: Every part of this is political. Every aspect of this
22:16
Speaker 1: is political. So let's go back that poll number for
22:20
Speaker 1: a second. You want to know why that all the
22:22
Speaker 1: Democrats are out there saying, well, you know, we'll see
22:24
Speaker 1: after the midterms, and well, there's a lot of other
22:26
Speaker 1: people that may be interested. Well, there's a lot of
22:28
Speaker 1: people that you know that that are you know, you know,
22:31
Speaker 1: certainly shocked and concerned by this, but we may be
22:34
Speaker 1: able to come back because they understand that they're losing
22:36
Speaker 1: the country. Even Senator Podilla said, we also need to
22:42
Speaker 1: ask more of the voters on inflation. Padilla and these
22:47
Speaker 1: other lefties actually want you to just suck it up
22:51
Speaker 1: and not hold them accountable for their inaction on inflation
22:57
Speaker 1: or out of control government spending or no baby formula
23:01
Speaker 1: or extremely high gas prices. They want you to do
23:06
Speaker 1: more in your own life, to just suck it up
23:10
Speaker 1: and be an adult. Listen to this response on CNN
23:14
Speaker 1: with Jake Tapper like that, all right, I'm gonna take
23:16
Speaker 1: that as a no. Let me ask you, as we
23:18
Speaker 1: just reported a new data point shows consumer confidence falling
23:22
Speaker 1: for the third month in a row. Now, there are
23:24
Speaker 1: steps the President Biden could take today to lower prices,
23:27
Speaker 1: such as getting rid of the Trump tariffs on China,
23:30
Speaker 1: But the President refuses to take these actions. Why not?
23:34
Speaker 1: So well, We're going to keep pressing the White House
23:37
Speaker 1: to do what they can, and we need to focus
23:39
Speaker 1: in Congress to do but we can't. That's why I
23:42
Speaker 1: think we're on the verge of finally allowing Medicare to
23:45
Speaker 1: negotiate prescription drug prices to bring those healthcare costs for
23:49
Speaker 1: working families across the country. Good news you've covered a
23:53
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Gas prices seem to be on the
23:55
Speaker 1: way down. But let's we visit childcare costs and other
23:58
Speaker 1: significant costs that working families are having to deal with.
24:03
Speaker 1: You know, we're debating inflation and the impacts. All I
24:06
Speaker 1: know is paychecks aren't going as far as they used to.
24:09
Speaker 1: And I say, that not just as a senator, I
24:10
Speaker 1: say that as a father and a husband. So speaking
24:14
Speaker 1: of things, the dollar not being you know, the inability
24:19
Speaker 1: of individuals to stretch their dollars. The FED is going
24:21
Speaker 1: to meet tomorrow and will likely raise interest rates again.
24:26
Speaker 1: We learned today that overall home prices are up nearly
24:29
Speaker 1: twenty percent nationwide from just one years ago. One year ago.
24:32
Speaker 1: You know this because housing prices in California are already
24:35
Speaker 1: among the nation's highest. So your constituents need bold action
24:39
Speaker 1: on all of these issues, inflation, housing prices, etc. At
24:42
Speaker 1: what point did Democratic officeholders start publicly demanding more from
24:47
Speaker 1: President Biden in his administration? You know it's by the
24:50
Speaker 1: way they're trying to separate the Democratic Party from Joe Biden,
24:55
Speaker 1: even the way that Jake Tapper did that question. Right,
25:00
Speaker 1: When are you guys going to realize you just need
25:02
Speaker 1: to point finger Joe Biden and blame him for everything
25:03
Speaker 1: and act like you're not a part of it. And
25:06
Speaker 1: what does this woke lefty Padilla say. Okay, we're always
25:10
Speaker 1: going to be passing the administration. We also need to
25:12
Speaker 1: ask more of the voters. Let's keep this in mind
25:15
Speaker 1: when we go vote in November. We know Democrats have
25:17
Speaker 1: a plan to bring down prescription drug prices. We know
25:21
Speaker 1: that we can do a whole lot with by taxing
25:24
Speaker 1: the most wealthy and multinational corporations and reinvesting in our
25:28
Speaker 1: own economy, in our own workforce, including manufacturing round the
25:32
Speaker 1: verge of passing. That's a semiconductor competition build here in Congress,
25:38
Speaker 1: that we have plans on reducing childcare, plans on reducing
25:41
Speaker 1: cost of housing. And if Roplupicans aren't going to play
25:44
Speaker 1: ball with us and do what's right for working families,
25:46
Speaker 1: and let's keep that in mind when we go vote
25:48
Speaker 1: in November. So when you go vote in November, he
25:52
Speaker 1: wants you to remember that somehow they're actually working for
25:55
Speaker 1: you while the country is falling apart. You have the
26:00
Speaker 1: Edery Secretary Janet Yellen, who came out and said, again
26:03
Speaker 1: one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen. We're not
26:05
Speaker 1: in a recession. We're in a transition in which growth
26:10
Speaker 1: is slowing. Okay, so what is the definition recession? Then? Right,
26:16
Speaker 1: We're not in a recession. No, we'll just make up
26:18
Speaker 1: some new thing. Right, Well, I mean, and again, if
26:22
Speaker 1: this is the party that they can't define a woman.
26:25
Speaker 1: So I guess maybe we shouldn't expect them to define
26:28
Speaker 1: what the word recession actually means. Now, what is Congress
26:34
Speaker 1: doing right now? There is a new House investigation right
26:38
Speaker 1: now in the Associated Press, not this tweet earlier day.
26:40
Speaker 1: It says, quote, gun manufacturers have made more than one
26:44
Speaker 1: billion dollars from selling AAR fifteen style guns over the
26:48
Speaker 1: past decade. That's over ten years for two companies. Those
26:53
Speaker 1: revenues have tripled over the past three years, according to
26:56
Speaker 1: a House investigation. So we're investigating the sales of a
27:01
Speaker 1: consumer product that the American people want to buy that's
27:05
Speaker 1: not illegal. That's exactly what the Democrats are now doing.
27:09
Speaker 1: I would argue it's a good start, right, Maybe we
27:11
Speaker 1: could have been two billion, that would have been better. Now,
27:14
Speaker 1: oversite Republicans are now also looking at some other issues
27:21
Speaker 1: that are going to plague them moving into the midterms.
27:26
Speaker 1: Representative James Comer is now pressing Hunter, Biden's financial advisor
27:32
Speaker 1: on the foreign deals. Now, let's go back to White
27:35
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Jensaki. All right, when Biden and the
27:38
Speaker 1: White House continue to stick to the claim that he
27:40
Speaker 1: and his son never talked about foreign business and let
27:43
Speaker 1: me remind you of what they said at the White House.
27:47
Speaker 1: A lot of stories about Hunter Biden servicing this week.
27:49
Speaker 1: So to ensure the independence of the investigations, would the
27:52
Speaker 1: president support the employment of a special council? Well, first,
27:57
Speaker 1: the President has never had a conversation with the Department
27:59
Speaker 1: of Justice about any investigations into any member of his family.
28:03
Speaker 1: He said that during the campaign, and he will continue
28:05
Speaker 1: to abide by that. So I pointed the Department of
28:07
Speaker 1: Justice for any additional steps they would take, they would
28:10
Speaker 1: make those decisions independently. Is there any concerned that they're
28:14
Speaker 1: not going to be necessarily seen as being able to
28:17
Speaker 1: make the decisions independently the way else you can stands
28:20
Speaker 1: out saying that the President is competent his son did
28:24
Speaker 1: not break the law. Well, that's something the President has
28:27
Speaker 1: said and certainly we would echo. But in the same
28:29
Speaker 1: answer to that question, Peter, during an interview the Sweet
28:32
Speaker 1: Guns an ABC, ron Klain also said the Justice Department
28:35
Speaker 1: is independent and they will make their own decisions. And well,
28:39
Speaker 1: we know that to lie, because the whistleblowers, right, we
28:44
Speaker 1: know that to lie. We also know that there's there's
28:48
Speaker 1: another part of this lie, which is the President continues
28:51
Speaker 1: to say that they never talk about business with his son.
28:54
Speaker 1: His voicemail is the opposite that it's a voicemail telling
28:58
Speaker 1: his son, let's talk about business with China and an
29:01
Speaker 1: article tomorrow. Listen has said that he never spoke to
29:05
Speaker 1: his son about his overseas business dealings. Is that's still
29:08
Speaker 1: the case, Yes, yes, okay, So they just lie to
29:12
Speaker 1: you on everything. Top Republicans on the House Oversight Committee
29:16
Speaker 1: are now responding to all these lives. They're wanting answers
29:19
Speaker 1: from now. Hunter Biden's financial advisor about transactions linked to
29:24
Speaker 1: the First Families foreign business dealings that were flagged as
29:28
Speaker 1: suspicious activity by US banks within one hundred and fifty
29:34
Speaker 1: transactions quote unquote from the Biden's business dealings have been
29:38
Speaker 1: flagged by US banks through filings of suspicious activity reports
29:44
Speaker 1: known as essay rs to the Financial Crime Enforcement Network.
29:49
Speaker 1: Representative James Comer wrote to Edward PRUITTT in a letter
29:55
Speaker 1: obtained by The New York Post. Text messages show that
29:58
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was is aware of these stars and took
30:01
Speaker 1: steps to avoid detection in his financial dealings. Comber ads
30:06
Speaker 1: that Republicans on the committee have reviewed information showing that
30:10
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden and Biden family financial advisor was in
30:15
Speaker 1: fact advising Hunter Biden on the transactions that caused the
30:19
Speaker 1: banks to flag them. Quote. As Hunter Biden's financial advisor,
30:24
Speaker 1: you are in a unique position to know how these
30:26
Speaker 1: transactions originated and why they were flagged by US banks,
30:31
Speaker 1: the lawmaker continues. The committee's Republicans, who have been investigating
30:36
Speaker 1: these scandal scarred sons domestic in foreign business dealing relationships
30:42
Speaker 1: and have been looking at to see if there was
30:45
Speaker 1: any benefit directly to his father for the father's influence,
30:50
Speaker 1: said that these these stars raised quote serious questions about
30:57
Speaker 1: these transactions and what they were for and whether money
31:01
Speaker 1: was transferred to the Biden family specifically quote from American adversaries.
31:09
Speaker 1: According to Comer, the financial advisor for Hunter Biden and
31:13
Speaker 1: his firm managed the accounts of the first son's businesses,
31:16
Speaker 1: including the ones like Rosemont Seneca Advisors as well as
31:22
Speaker 1: Hudson West, which have been used in transferring millions of
31:25
Speaker 1: dollars to Hunter and James Biden from the CEFEE that's
31:29
Speaker 1: the Chinese government, basically a company that's effectively an arm
31:34
Speaker 1: of the Chinese government. This energy company, Prue it did
31:37
Speaker 1: not immediately respond a question for comment. Shocker there. The
31:41
Speaker 1: Post has also reported extensively on Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings,
31:45
Speaker 1: beginning with a series of exposs all the way back
31:48
Speaker 1: in October of twenty twenty, detailing his relationship with Ukraine, China,
31:52
Speaker 1: Russian others, and his dad. The report has been based
31:57
Speaker 1: on documents, emails, text message is all from Hunter Biden's laptop.
32:02
Speaker 1: Comber's letter of questioning the financial transactions follows revelations yesterday
32:08
Speaker 1: from Senator Chuck Grassley. The FBI is now worried. We're
32:13
Speaker 1: being told because the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary
32:15
Speaker 1: Committee has whistle blowers that are accusing FBI and the
32:19
Speaker 1: Department of Justice of burying quote verified and verifiable dirt
32:24
Speaker 1: on the Biden family by rejecting the intelligence as quote
32:29
Speaker 1: disinformation when they knew it wasn't. Senator Grassley has now
32:34
Speaker 1: sent this letter of the FBI Director Christopher Ray and
32:37
Speaker 1: the Attorney General Merrick Garland on demanding they look into
32:40
Speaker 1: the whistle blowers claims. I have a feeling they won't quote.
32:44
Speaker 1: You have an obligation to the country to take these
32:47
Speaker 1: allegations seriously. Immediately and investigate and take steps to institute
32:52
Speaker 1: fixes to these and other matters before you. That's what
32:56
Speaker 1: the Senator told the Bideen administration officials. This u said
33:00
Speaker 1: information reviewed by the House Oversight Committee showed that transactions
33:04
Speaker 1: linked to Hunter Biden's accounts were flagged by Wells Fargo
33:08
Speaker 1: corporate compliance and that his financial advisor alerted Hunter Biden
33:14
Speaker 1: about them in an email. The congressman said. Documents seen
33:18
Speaker 1: by the committee also indicate that you, as a financial advisor,
33:23
Speaker 1: had access to accounts tied to Eric Squarin, a long
33:26
Speaker 1: time business partner of Hunter Biden, who had meetings with
33:29
Speaker 1: Joe Biden multiple times. Multiple times had meetings with Joe
33:34
Speaker 1: Biden when he was Vice president in the Obama administration.
33:39
Speaker 1: Swearin's inclusion in these transaction raises more questions about President
33:43
Speaker 1: Biden's involvement in the management and knowledge of these various
33:47
Speaker 1: entities and activities. The letter states, now, Square and the
33:51
Speaker 1: president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, was named as a calendar
33:55
Speaker 1: invite recipient twenty one times twenty one different times when
34:01
Speaker 1: then Vice President Biden was meeting with his son. Why
34:05
Speaker 1: would the business partner be there unless they were talking
34:07
Speaker 1: about business and getting the deals done. Committee Republicans say
34:11
Speaker 1: they are committed to following Hunter Biden's money trail, consisting
34:14
Speaker 1: of many complex international transactions worth millions and millions of dollars.
34:19
Speaker 1: The letter goes on to say the American people deserve
34:22
Speaker 1: to know the president's connections to the Sun's business deals,
34:25
Speaker 1: which have occurred at the expense of American interest and
34:29
Speaker 1: also may represent a clear national security threat. The letter continues.
34:35
Speaker 1: The letter sets in August or deadline for the Financial
34:39
Speaker 1: Advisor to brief members of the Committee and a deadline
34:42
Speaker 1: of August tenth to turn over documents requested by Republicans.
34:48
Speaker 1: So if you want to know now, okay, if you
34:52
Speaker 1: want to know now why Democrats are bailing on Joe Biden.
34:57
Speaker 1: Why seventy five percent of Democrats say don't want them
35:00
Speaker 1: to run for reelection. This is why the useful idiot
35:05
Speaker 1: is about to be no longer useful the Democratic Party,
35:08
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do everything they can to get rid
35:10
Speaker 1: of them. I'm telling you after the midterms, we'll keep
35:15
Speaker 1: you update on this Hunter Biden story because everyday new
35:17
Speaker 1: stuff keeps coming out. Please make sure you share a
35:19
Speaker 1: podcast hit that auto download or auto subscribe button and
35:25
Speaker 1: I will see you back here, will soon
