Biden Playing Both Sides NOT Working w Americans New Poll Shows · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been trying to play both sides of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the conflict with Israel and the terrorists Hamas has blid
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of the Palestinians. Now it's coming back to Biden in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the rear end because apparently no one is happy with
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: what he is doing.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: He was trying to play kate with young people.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: That's the reason why he would not call out what
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was happening on college campuses, because his re election campaign
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: understands just how important it is to.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Get young people to come out and vote for him.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: The problem is older people that want to support Israel
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: have now had enough of Joe Biden's foreign policy of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: backing or well maybe I should say not backing Israel
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and also not standing up to terrorism. There is a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: new ras Musen pull out that is going to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: music to your ears if you're a Trump supporter, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that is this Trump has widened his lead over Joe Biden.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Now let me break down this pulling for you so
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you understand. This survey, which was really on Friday midday,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: found that in a three way contest between Biden, Trump,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and RFK Junior, forty six percent of likely US voters
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would choose Trump. Thirty six percent say they would choose Biden,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and in a shockingly high number, more than anyone realized
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it was going to be, RFK Junior is at nine percent. Now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: where's the majority of this nine percent coming from that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: RFK Junior now has in this new poll? It is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: coming from young socialists, communists, and Green Party individuals. Now,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in a five way match, including the Green Party candidate
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Jill Stein and forver Harvard professor Cornell West, forty eight
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: percent say they would vote for Trump, thirty six percent
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for Biden, eight percent only moving one percent for r
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: FK Junior and one percent for West and one percent
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for Stock.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This third party candidacy of RFK Junior is hurting and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is a real alternative for many Democrats who are unhappy
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: with Joe Biden. Now, the current poll was conducted amid
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York City, which also
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at the moment seems to be backfiring as well. Now,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: let me tell you some other things that we found
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in this poll. Seventy one percent of voters say they
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: are excited about the twenty twenty four presidential election, including
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: forty seven percent who say they are very excited, meaning
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that there's probably going to be pretty decent election turnout
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: because people are upset with what's happening in this country.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: They're upset with the cost of living, services, goods, home prices,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: interest rates, travel expenses, you name it, food, basic things, inflation.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: It goes back to the issue of it's the economy stupid.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We did not see the same type of enthusiasm going
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: into the twenty election cycle. Just so you understand, fifty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: nine percent, by the way of Trump voters say they're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: very excited, and fifty percent of Biden voters say the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: same thing. So there's more enthusiasm on the Republican side. Now,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: before you get too excited about that, that is traditionally
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: normal the party who is not in charge. Okay, just
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so you understand, I'm going to say this again, the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: party who is usually not in charge of the White
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: House has more excitement around their candidate because they want
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to get the White House back. So that number can
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be a little bit misleading. Now, I'm glad that there's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: fifty nine percent of Trump voters say they're very excited,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: but that fifty percent of Biden voters.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Say the same thing tells you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's a very partisan aspect of this poll, and even
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who I don't believe a lot of Democrats
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are actually excited about the poll numbers are showing that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they'll lie and tell you they are. Now sixty percent
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of Republicans say they're very excited about the presidential election,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and forty five percent of Democrats say the same thing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: That is a very telling poll.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: B What that means is Republicans are excited about their
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: chances of taking back the White House, and Democrats are saying,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we'd rather delay this election. We're not excited about this
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: election because it doesn't seem like it's going in our direction.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Right now, here's something else that's interesting. Undecided voters ultimately
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: make the big decisions, right they have the biggest impact. Well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: here's what we know about undecided. Thirty six percent of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: voters not affiliated with either parties say they're excited about
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: this election.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Whether they're excited.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Because they're angry or they're just excited because they're quote excited,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But in a three way matchup, here's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what I can tell you. Trump gets eighty percent of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: GOP voters. Biden is it's seventy percent of Democrats because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Democrats again are not as excited as Trump and Donald
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Trump has united the party among unaffiliated voters.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: This is also very good news.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Trump is backed by forty four percent of unaffiliated voters
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: at the moment and Biden just twenty seven percent. Here's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: something else, fifteen percent say they would choose RFK Junior
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: among unaffiliated voters. So it is he, It is helping Trump,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and it is hurting Biden that RFK Junior is still
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in the race now in a five way matchup, just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so you know, when it comes down to the issue
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of race, Biden gets thirty four percent of white voters,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: sixty one percent of black voters, which actually that number
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is pretty low, it should be over seventy percent historically,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and thirty percent just thirty percent of Hispanics and just
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: fourteen percent of other minorities. Now what this means, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: this may be the most telling thing as you pull
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: back the curtain on what voters are deciding and what's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: important to them. The Hispanic community is enraged right now
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: by the amount of illegal immag that is falling into
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this country because it is affecting their neighborhoods. Okay, more
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: than anyone else. The Hispanic community that's having to deal
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with what is happening right now because of illegal immigrants.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: They are furious, absolutely furious with the President of United
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: States of America. In a five way matchup, Biden gets
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: thirty four percent of white votes, but only thirty percent
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of Hispanics, so he gets more white votes than Hispanic votes.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That is a nail in the coffin in many ways
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. He's got to figure out how to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: turn that around before election day now, in either a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: two way or five way match This is also something
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: else that's concerning.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: If you're Joe Biden.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: RFK Junior does best among Hispanics and other minorities who say, hey,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm not willing to go all in for Donald Trump,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: but I am willing to go against Joe Biden, whether
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's not voting at all or voting for RFK.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Now, what's interesting.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: About RFK Junior is RFK Junior and his platform is
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: clearly a socialist platform, and many people that come from
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: outside this country, that come from socialist countries have no
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: problem with that platform. And that's part of the reason
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: why I think RFK Junior is so palatable to them.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: One other thing that I want to pull out this poll,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a majority of voters forty and above say that they
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: would vote for Donald Trump, while Biden Trump are virtually
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: tied among those under forty, who are more likely to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: say they'd vote for RFK jor. So again, there is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a big shift in this country and the next generation
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's coming up, this new generation of voters, these younger
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: voters who they are much more happy to say that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they are hardcore radical leftists, they don't like America. They're
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the kids that you see on these college campuses right now,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and they say they'd vote for RFK Junior. Again, that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is their second choice. Is a lot of them is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: actually Joe Biden. But as long as our FK Junior
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is in this race, it seems to be hurting Joe
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Biden more than anybody, Probably close to a two to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: one margin over a vote being taken away from Trump.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: In other words, every Trump voter that goes for our
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: FK Junior or someone that's most likely to vote for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Trump if he wasn't in there, we're probably taking two
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: votes away from Joe Biden. That is a good trade off.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: If you are a conservative. I remember, by the way,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: when we were when Ross Perot got in the race
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in ninety two, and I remember when he got in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the race in ninety six, and I remember he was
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: taking more votes from Republicans than he was taking and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: almost a two to one margin that he was taking specifically.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: From Bill Clinton.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So without Ross Perot, Bill Clinton would not have been
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Like it just would not have happened.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So that you, I want to be clear, if there's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: anybody who should say a thank you know to every
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: single it would be Ross pro If you're Bill Clinton,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: all right, I want to break down you look at
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the pulling number that I just gave you and the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: data I just gave you. Where is the what is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: causing these major shifts that are hurting Joe Biden. The
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: most number one issue right now clearly seems to be
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the economy. That's still very very true. But number two
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: is this playing both sides when it comes to Israel.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That is just destroying this President of the United States
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of America because he's making older people mad while he's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: also making younger people mad that we're going to vote
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for him. So he's actually losing on both sides by
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: not taking a stance and actually just standing up for
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: whatever it is he actually believes in.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: He doesn't really seem to believe in anything.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And that's the other problem here, is that when you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: don't believe in anything, then everybody's.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Mad at you. And I think he thought, well, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: can get away with this. Now.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Let me also tell you what's about to happen in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Israel so that you understand this, because this is I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: think extremely important. It has come out that Israel has
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: now given Hamas Right, which is a terrorist organization, a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: week to either strike a deal or they say a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Rafa major offensive will begin.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Now they know what this is going to look like
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: because they've.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Already done it in Gaza, and so they're saying, do
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you want to go through this again? Do you want
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: us to destroy it coming after you, or do you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: want to do a deal?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: This is the first time that Israel seems to have
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: really publicly said, hey, we're ready to do a deal.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And Israel has said, all right, Hamas, and they're willing
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to negotiate with a terrarists. We are willing to agree
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to a ceasefire deal or we're going to go ahead
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: with our military operations in Rafa. Egyptian officials that were
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: briefed on the matter said this as the militant group Hamas,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: which is a terrorist group, holds out for what they're
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: describing as better terms to ensure its survival. Now, Egypt
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: worked with Israel on a revised fire proposal that it
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: presented to Hamas last weekend that according to Egyptian officials,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: hamas's political leadership was expected to consult with its military
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: wing in Gaza and then respond. The group's military leader
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in Gaza, who is believed to be hiding in tunnels
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: in the in the enclave and makes the final decision,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: apparently has not responded yet.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: There's still wait to see what he says. Now.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Egyptian officials conveyed the message from Israel to Hamas on Thursday,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: so you understand the timeline here and the Central Intelligence
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Agency director Burns we also have been told arrived in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Cairo Friday morning for meetings with the Egyptian officials about
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: efforts to reach a deal. Now, senior Hamas officials are
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: expected to arrive in Cairo Saturday to continue the negotiations.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Egypt has said as well. Now.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: The office of the Israeli Prime Minister net and Yahoo
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: declined to comment. Officials for Hamas have also declined to comment.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It's so weird when you can talk to the terrorists
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: this way, like through official press channels.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable to me.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But Egyptian officials are saying Hamas is seeking quote, a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: long term truce and guarantees from the United States government
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that a ceasefire will be respected by Israel. Hamas officials
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have expressed concerns that the latest proposal is still too
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: vague and gives Israel room to restart the fighting. The
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: State Department didn't respond to requests for comment on this,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: so everybody's leaking everywhere. Now Here's what is in this proposal,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: all right, from what we've been told from Egypt, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I have no reasonab believe that they're lying about this,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: based on the fact that they're the ones putting it together.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: The latest proposal calls for an initial period of calm
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: for up to forty days, during which Hamas would release
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: up to up to thirty three hostages, with a possible
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: negotiation of a long term cease fire to follow. Now,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the following phases would include a ceasefire of at least
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: six weeks, during which Hamas and Israel would aim to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: agree on the release of more hostages, and an extended
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: pause in fighting that could last up to one year. So,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in other words, if you're a hostage right now, you're
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: looking at and they've got a lot of hostages still
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that there would be, you're probably going to be held
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for a best case scenario another two months up to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: at least a year. That's not good news. If you're
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a hostage right now, right that's not now. Negotiations over
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the ceasefire deal have faltered and quote reignited several times
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: since a brief pause in fighting in November, with Hamas
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and Israel apart on key points, including the ability for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: civilians to return their homes in northern Gaza and a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: path towards ending the war. The two sides have mostly
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: agreed upon conditions for a swap of Israeli hostages held
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: by Hamas and Palastinian prisoners held by Israel.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Egyptian officials have confirmed.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Now Netanyahu says the military will send ground forces into Rafa,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a city on the northern edge of the Gaza strip,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: where more than one million palaicing and civilians are shelter
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: sheltering in place, regardless of whether a deal is struck.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: The Israeli military has said Rafa is Hamas's last stronghold,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: but behind closed doors, Israeli officials are considering postponing the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Raffa invasion indefinitely if a long term deal is struck,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Egyptian officials have confirmed. Now, let's talk about the terrorists
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in Hamas real quick, all right. The Hamas terrorist officials
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: have voice concerns that bb right Nott in Yahoo was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: provoking the group into refusing the proposal in order to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: invade Rafa and then blame Hamas for the failure of
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the negotiations. The group is expected to respond to the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: proposal with a counter offer rather than immediately reject it,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: according to Egyptian officials.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of politics that are now being
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: played here. Now.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The Secretary of State, he's pretty worthless. Anthony Blincoln, he
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: visited Israel on Wednesday. He said it it was up
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to the up to Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that's on the table. He was asked about Netnya, who's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: threats to attack Rafa regardless, he said, the Israeli Prime
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Minister could speak for himself, saying, quote Hamas will have
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to make its own judgments about the threats on Rafa
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And that's pretty much all he had to say. Now,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: net Naho making it very clear, we're not screwing around here.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You got a week either do the deal or don't
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: do the deal, and we're coming. And net Nyahu remains
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure in Israel to get the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: release of these hostages that were taken to Gaza on
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: October seventh. There's one hundred and twenty eight hostages from
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the attack that we're being told to remain in Gaza.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: At least thirty five of those.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: One twenty eight have been confirmed to have been have
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: died or been murdered. That according to the recently updated
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: figures from Israel. Israeli and American officials have privately estimated
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that the number of dead could be actually, in fact,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: much higher than the thirty five official deaths out of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the one twenty eight. They believe it could be actually
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: more than half from what I've been told. Now, if
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you believe the Palestinians Health Ministry, which I don't, because
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: they lie all the time. A perfect example of their
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: lying is when they said Israel bomb their hospital was
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: actually a Hamas rocket, that misfire that hit the parking garage,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not the actual hospital. So they're prolific liars, just so
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know. But they say that more than thirty four
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: thousand Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the star
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of the war.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Most of them civilians.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The figure, by the way, doesn't specify how many were combatants, which.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I would love to note.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Now I don't believe the thirty four thousand number, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the reason why I don't believe it is because they
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: lie all the time.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: They lie twenty four to seven. Let's just make that
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: very very very clear. So let's get back to Biben.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: The politics here.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: This issue is hurting him in his reelection because he's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: had to placate the radicals, the extremists, the Marxist, the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: so shells, the extreme of his party who are funding
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: these protests all over the country now in college campuses.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But I want you to hear what Democrat Cliburn, James
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Cliburn had to say when he was being asked about
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden now and the problems with this policy on
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: college campuses that just isn't working.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm going to.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Start with this because you just heard the eighty percent
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: of young people who disapprove of the way that Biden
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: has handled the Israel hamas War. I want to ask
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you about this article that came out from Axios this
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: morning saying Democrats enter panic mode as Gaza protests erupt.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: That as a tear from their headline. Several Democrats expressing
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: in that article concerned that the protest and the fact
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: that Biden has not been able to help get a
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: ceasefire could hurt his chances in November. And I want
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: to let you to listen to what Bernie Sanders told
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: our Kris Hihan Ahmenport on this.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Subject maybe of Biden's Vietnam Lyndon Johnson, in many respects
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: was a very very good president domestically, brought forth some
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: major pieces of legislation. He chose not to run in
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: sixty eight because of opposition to his views on Vietnam.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: And I worry very much that President Biden is putting
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: himself in a position where he is alienated not just
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: young people, but a lot of the Democratic base.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So you hear that argument there do you think the
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: argument is an extreme example?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: What do you make of it?
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much for having me. It's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: good argument. You know. I never argue with history. I
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: tell people all the time, history be our teacher. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: was around doing Vietnam. I was around doing President Lyndon
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Johnson's Great socidy programs that brought on voting rights, the
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: civil rights. Well he is vice president. We've got Civil
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Exact of sixty four. But he brought on the Medicare, medicaid,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: all those things that made us a great society. He
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: was the engineer of and all that went down the
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: drain because of Vietnam. And so these kinds of issues
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: could very well be taken over as in this instance.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: We see that there are some outside forces, some that
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: I feel well, not only up and up, that are
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: involved in this. And so I share that concern that
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: we've got to be very careful that we do not
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: stymy protests. I am where I am today because of protests.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: We did it non violently. Our disciple of Martin Luther
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: King Jr. Violent protests is not free speech, and that
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: is what we've got to get everybody to understand. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden protects free speech, but he also protects law.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So Cliburn, they're trying to spend this right.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: This Axis article very clear Democrats inner panic mode as
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: God's a protests erupt. You notice Cliburn there was just
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: trying to like, you know, filibuster at the time as
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: much as he could. He didn't know what else to say,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: which isn't surprising at all. This is what I would
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: expect from him. Joe Biden on the protests. The best
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: thing we've gotten out of him was at this speech
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that I played for yesterday where he said, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: dissent must never lead to disorder, which is kind of
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a joke because they never called this out when it
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: was Black Lives Matter, that we're burning down buildings.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: We'll deal with that in a second.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They are in real trouble right now, and the polling
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: number clearly shows this. Joe Biden has got the problem
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: now with Israel. He's got the problem with the college
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: campuses and losing the young vote. He's got the problem
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: with RFK Junior. It's a bad day and it's about
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to get worse. Why do I say that. Here's a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: New Hill article that came out and this is what
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the title says, Biden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: at the worst possible time.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Last Thursday, the.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advanced estimates for twenty
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: twenty four first quarter real GDP right gross domestic product growth.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: It was only one point six percent.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It is the worst quarterly performance since the economy actually
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: contracted by zero point six percent almost two years ago
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: in the second quarter of twenty twenty two. This was
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a growth level that was in fact one third behind
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the economists prediction, their expectation.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: That it was going to grow at two point four percent.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It is also a major drop from the twenty twenty
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: three to fourth quarter rate that was at three point
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: four percent and the twenty twenty three third quarter rate
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: that they were all bragging about the White House with
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: bidnomics of four point nine percent.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What does this mean.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: It means that this is significantly slower growth and it's
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: coming on the heels of also higher inflation. The March
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: report on overall prices showed that the consumer price index
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: for all urban consumers rose three point five percent over
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the last year three point eight percent when core inflation
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: right minus food and energy was considered meaning it's costing
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you about four percent more now to live than it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: was a year ago. That figure was higher than any
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: figure we've had since twenty twenty three September and marked
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the third marked that is three two one, and it
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: marked this third consecutive monthly increase, meaning they do not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have consumer prices or inflation under control at all at
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: this White House.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: With quote Bidenomics. Now.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: The reason why I bring this up is because on
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: top of this right news I just gave you Friday morning,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: more bad news came out about inflation, this time on
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the personal consumer expenditures all right, that is excluding food
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and energy. This is the Federal Reserve also preferred inflation
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: gauge that they really look at.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: So you understand how important this is to the FED.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Well, in March it rose two point eight percent compared
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to a year ago, the same as in February, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: well above the Fed's expectations. So all of this is happening.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: It meaning that it's hurting the average American. It's actually
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: hurting poor people more than anyone else. The reason why
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I bring that up is because while all of this
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: bad news is coming, the White House has now announced
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: because of a question they were asked that they were
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: forced to answer that, yes, taxes are about to go
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: up for many Americans. You may remember the Trump tax cuts.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: The White House is now saying that they are going
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to let that tax cut expire, meaning that it's going
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to raise taxes on the average American family. Listen to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: this at the White House briefing from Friday afternoon.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: The President says that he wants to let the tax cuts,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: the Trump task cuts aspire.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: If that long expires, it does raise taxes on almost
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: every American. So does he still support that expiring without
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: anything else in place?
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: So look, as you said, the President is going to
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: allow is going to let the Trump tax cut expire,
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: and he was very clear, but he will not raise
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: taxes on anyone making less than four hundred thousand dollars
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: a year.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: That, well, that's a lie, because if you let the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Trump tax cuts expire, you are absolutely raising taxes on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: those making less than four hundred thousand dollars a year.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So this is a way of raising taxes without actually
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: saying that you're proposing raising the taxes. You're just saying, well,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't like this Trump policy, these Trump tax cuts.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to let him expire. I'm not going
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to renew them. And the reason why is because he
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: wants to take more your money. He really doesn't care
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: about you. And the Democratic Party doesn't care about you either.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: They just don't care. And so that's why the White
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: House gets away with saying it this way. They're like, well,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we're not going to raise tax on you. If you're
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: making every four hundred thousand, Yes you are, you absolutely are.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You also have something else, and that is the average
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: American now. And I go back the polls I mentioned earlier.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: The average American now true believes that this president is
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: not looking out for them.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And that is another major problem.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: When you look at the economy, you look at the markets,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you look at what is happening. Go back to CNBC
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: this morning, the April jobs report comes out, and this
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is what they said on CNBC about these numbers.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Go to Rick Rick.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: We know that, you know, there's some people that just
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: they just think that inflace that comes down after unemployment
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: goes up. So we're not going to see inflace come
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: down until we get an uptick in unemployment. So there
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: are people that probably would like a little.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Bit cooler number.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: But this is you only got ten seconds to respond.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: We might as well just wait now until we see
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: what the number is.
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, you know, I'm like Stephanie, I want to
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: see people get jobs. So however that plays into the
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: hand of the Fed.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: That's their concern.
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: And April non farm payrolls expanded much less than expected
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: one hundred and seventy five thousand. We're looking for a
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: number much closer to two hundred and fifty thousand, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: at least up to this point in the rear view
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: mirror three hundred and three thousand, there are revisions minus
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: twenty two thousand for a two month span. Now, if
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: you look at manufacturing, it went from zero to eight thousand,
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: so there is some improvement.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that three hundred.
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: And three thousand last month went up three hundred and
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: fifteen thousand, which means last month three hundred and fifteen
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: thousand was the best since January of twenty three. Then
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: we go to one hundred and seventy five thousand, which
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: actually is the weakest since October October.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Of last year.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So they're even saying like, hey, this is really really
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: bad and we all need to just admit how bad
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it actually is, Like this is.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Really, really, really bad. And the President.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I go back to that headline that I read for
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you a moment ago, and this headline from the Hill,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Iden's worst case economic scenario is unfolding at the worst
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: possible time, in the summer before an election. Now, can
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the President turn this around? I don't think so. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: don't believe that he can turn this around. I don't
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: think there's a magic wand that's going to somehow change this.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see interest rates go down the summer, No,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: not to a point that it's going to be meaningful.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see wages increases summer, No, not
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: at a point that's going to be meaningful for voters.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Are we going to have consumer confidence go up all
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of a sudden out of nowhere in September October.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: No before the election? I know, I don't see that scenario.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: And on top of all that, you're about to raise
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: taxes on virtually every American taxpayer because you are going
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: to let it expire, right like you're going to let
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the tax cuts from Donald Trump expire.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Now, part of this could just be because.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: You don't want to have to admit that you extended
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the Bush the Trump tax cuts, right, like, that's part
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of it. And so you know that Donald Trump's going
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to stand on stage and be like, dude, you extended
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: my tax cuts because you knew they worked, and that's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: what I did for Americans. But the other side of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: this coin may actually actually be worse, I would argue
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: for him and you. And can you imagine being on
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: stage with a bad economy, high inflation, high high unemployment
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: numbers maybe going up, low job growth, and then have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a president of the United States Americans like, dude, while
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: all this is happening, look at what you just did, Like,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: what did you just do to Americans? You just raised
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: their taxes because you couldn't stand me, and you couldn't
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: stand that the tax cuts that I gave because you
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: want to control people through taxes, You want to control
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: people in their lives.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: And this is a real.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Problem for us, right Like, this is a really really
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: big problem for us. And if you're watching the President
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: United States of America on stage having to respond to that,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I cannot imagine it's gonna go well for you.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And you can even hear it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: In the voices of those at the NBC, Like, as
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they're telling this information, I think what they're what they're
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: saying here is like, yeah, we know it's bad, Like
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: we understand it. We know that things are not good.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: We understand that that. He can't flip this around either,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: like this is not saying that's going to that it's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Let me also remind you of what
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump said about this.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: This was New York City from court when he was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: talking about inflation.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Uh, the economy. People are asking me about the economy.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: It's doing terribly and interest rates are obviously not going
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: to be able to be reduced prior to the election
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: because inflation is roaring back.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: A gasoline's way up.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Are the things are way up and it's roaring back,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Like they are very surprised.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised with this. I guess they're surprised. That's
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: what they say. Anyway.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: So that's one of the economy looks pretty bleek for
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: interest rates, and I don't think there's any way they
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: can cut because inflation is very inflation.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Remember, it is a country buster.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: When you have inflation that breaks countries, I mean literally
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: breaks countries. And we can't take that chance. So we'll
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: see what they do. But it was sort of announced
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: Yester that they can't do much with the interest rates.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: I have to remain very high. And it's very unfortunate.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: We have low interest rates, they have high interest rates.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: That's very unfortunate when you compare my economy to this economy,
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: not even to contest, were the greatest economy in history,
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: and now we have sort of allows the economy. But
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: the problem with the economy is the inflation. And anything
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: you made you more than gave back. We call it
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: a fifty percent tax. It's a fighten tax. It's called
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: an inflationary tax, and it's about fifty percent. That's what
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: it is, whether you like it or not.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: And it's too bad.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, Donald try, that's a winning message. And there's
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: two things that I take away from this one. RFK
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Junior is hurting big time Joe Biden extra three things.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, his nonstance on these radicals
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: on campus is hurting him as well. And number three,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the economy and the economic news is killing him as well.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: This is a very bad week for Joe Biden. Don't
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: forget Share this podcast with your family and friends. Please
• 32:27
